Fantastic Four #579

Part of Marvel's 2010 "Heroic Age" initiative, this issue carries the tantalizing cover quote — "The future of man is not here… it is out there!" — and Alan Davis and Mark Farmer's cover delivers on that cosmic promise beautifully. Mr. Fantastic stands at the center of a vast, star-filled universe, reaching toward a luminous, bubble-like cosmic entity, while portrait medallions of the Thing, Human Torch, Invisible Woman, and Reed Richards himself frame the title above. Jonathan Hickman, Neil Edwards, Andrew Currie, and Paul Mounts are the creative team bringing this "Future Foundation" chapter to life inside.
