ComicBookResources preview.

I'll let it speak for itself.



The cover.



We're the "white hats" in this caper.

The dramatic personae pose.


Doom: "First order of business. Kill Richards (plural). All for?"

(everyone in the room charges their weapons and aim).

Doom: "Just a raise of hands or an 'aye' will do, gentlemen. Susan.... Susan, let go of the Force choke on this Reed...."

Lolwut?

I'm sorry but i can't take the scene all too seriously when one of the guys has a big red door handle on his forehead.

That said, i think i've really missed alot of the fantastic four continuity. Doom is pretty much in charge now? (i'll admit, it's the fantastic four movies that made me lose interest in the fantastic four. that and reed richards who i'm surprised to hear is now a villain. that's almost enough to tempt me into starting fantastic four again) xD

If the High Evolutionary ever sang "I'm a Little Teapot", he's all set for the handle!

I think you have a few things mixed up here...

First about Reed as a villain. Either you are thinking of Ultimate Marvel where he is a villain now or you missed the fact that there are three other Reeds from other realities running around 616 now. These Reeds are the ones who see themselves are serving a good much larger than any one person and so will sacrifice whatever to do what they think is right.

Second, Doom joined the Future Foundation (the new Fantastic Four) at the request of Valeria and Nathanial Richards (Reed's dad). He is not in charge but because they are about to go to war with three evil Reed Richards they are deferring to him as he's been fighting Reed for years.

Of course the fact that none of these villains has succeeded in fighting Reed hasn't been mentioned.

That does seem to be a bit of flaw in the plan, doesn't it?

"We need to defeat a whole bunch of Reed Richards. We have assembled a team of villains who have all lost to our Reed countless times. They shal be led by Doctor Doom, the world'd leading expert in the field of losing to Richards."

If Doom and the rest can't beat one Reed who plays nice, how can he beat a bunch of them that don't?

Doom has defeated Reed (and everybody else who matters) a number of times, he's allowed Reed to live so that he can laugh at him, out of boredom, and simple overconfidence(depending on the story).

If he wanted to just kill him, he probably could do it, and in a number of different ways, depending on which of his stories is in continuity right now. He's a good resource on this mission.

This is very true. Of all the villains present, he's the one I'd worry the most about, perchance to monologue and all.
