I have skipped the previous issue, a fill-in where the Human Torch teams-up with Rusty Collins.
Any way, the Fantastic Four come to the conclusion that something isn’t right with the Earth they ended up on last time.

Yes, yes, vampire crossover, whatever. It's a token tie-in at best here.

But hey, Ryan North does some interesting character stuff with Reed Richards!

There’s a new writer on board, so let’s begin with the character assassination of a long-time Avenger.

I guess that random woman snooping on Johnny and Spidey's conversation in the previous issue did have a pay-off.

Johnny asks Ben to be his best man. To the surprise of absolutely nobody, it doesn’t go well.

Johnny Storm has a Sexy Dream

One panel from Fantastic Four #11 (LGY#704). The main story is a Ben Grimm caper that also features a dog and has a tribute to Judge Dredd, but let's look at this panel. Johnny Storm explains a sexy dream he just had. Weird phrasing, no? What's he hiding, I wonder?

So, following on from the previous issue, the Fantastic Four must deal with some mirror bacteria that is antithetical to life. Also, the mystery behind Reed shaving his beard revealed! AND! Maria Hill continues her super-villain career of escalating problems out of control!

"Alicia is an artist. She's someone who cares about ideas and concepts and art and beauty and truth. Ben is much more grounded in dealing with the world: 'Truth and beauty are important, but what are we getting for dinner?' sort of thing. [...] He’s got a shyness to him under there. He's got a big, huge heart. Really wants to help people, really wants the best for everyone he meets. He's so sincere and almost guileless; he's not going to sugarcoat for you. He's not going to try to manipulate you to get what he wants. He's just going to tell you the truth as he sees it and do what he thinks is right."

So, here's the launch of the post-Dan Slott, Ryan North-led Fantastic Four run. Let's start off with the writer's manifesto for how this series should go:

Got that? Good. The issue itself:
A done-in-one Groundhog Day escapade, yet it does not even feature every member of the Fantastic Four!
And if you thought the current run of Spider-Man has its hero in a bad situation of his own creation, well, you'd better get Peter Parker to hold Reed Richards' beer:

One panel from Fantastic Four #40 (legacy 680). All this Reckoning nonsense going on, but this is the one thing I took home from the issue:

Fantastic Four #31 (676) The Kids

Yeah, in this issue there's some fantastic exploration of conceptual space blah blah blah, but everyone really wants to know more about those former kids of the Future Foundation, right? As well as someone that hasn't been seen (to my knowledge) since The Initiative...

Here's a TRUE BELIEVERS reprint of FANTASTIC FOUR #20, the first appearance of the Molecule Man.

On one hand, I get it. Marvel Studios has the right to make changes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Jane Foster is an astro-physicist instead of a nurse-turned-doctor. Johann Schmidt was a scientist instead of a bellboy. Maria Hill doesn't start fights for no reason. Still...
Also confirmed was the casting of Elizabeth Debicki as Ayesha, A.K.A. Karma, A.K.A. Her, A.K.A. Kismet, who in comic books is a product of the same experiments that created Adam Warlock (A.K.A. Him) before ascending to cosmic power. According to Gunn, Ayesha comes from a “genetically-perfect people” named the Sovereign. She serves as their High Priestess and "is not a woman to be screwed with.”
( When Adam Warlock met Her. Also, MCU speculation )
