Marvel Legacy: 10 Things You Need To Know After Issue 1

10. Ben And Johnny Want To Bring Back The Four

The Fantastic Four have been missing in action for what feels like forever, courtesy of Marvel's decision to shelve the group in response to Fox's retention of the first family's onscreen rights. It's understandable, to a degree, but it's also completely cynical on Marvel's behalf; why should readers have to suffer because of Fox's own inadequacies?

The Four have, however, not been totally absent from the Marvel Universe. Johnny (The Human Torch) has made a point of appearing in a bunch of Spidey titles, reinforcing the shared bromance between the pair, and Ben Grimm (the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing), appeared in Jessica Jones not all that long ago as well. Reed and Sue's situation has, however, been a little less fortunate.

They, along with their children (Franklin and Valeria) are still lost in the multiverse, but that hasn't stopped Ben and Johnny from keeping the faith. Legacy saw them launch the Fantasti-flare - almost ceremonially - but it could've also been the trick to bring their family home. Only time will tell if that is indeed the case, but FF fans have plenty of reason to be excited for Legacy regardless, with the upcoming Two-in-One promising big things for Marvel's first family.
