3. A Fantastic Confirmation

For those not in the know, the Fantastic Four have been separated in the mainstream Marvel Universe for quite some time - curtesy of Fox's unflinching resolve to hold onto the onscreen rights for Marvel's first family.

That looks set to change soon, however, with Marvel Legacy #1 setting the stage for a veritable FF reunion to take place sometime in the future. Some have posited that the upcoming Two-in-One series could serve as a vehicle of sorts for an FF team book, and, while it does now seem likely that this is the case, some further hints that Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben are coming back would do us all a world of good.

You know, just to make sure. The FF have been absent for so long now that any return really needs to have all the bells and whistles to accompany it, even if a stealth title would be a nice surprise for fans to wake up to.
