The Civil War is over and all the Marvel characters that got involved one way or the other (which might include all there are) continue in their separate series through the changes they suffered, well or bad. Spidey is back in black, Cap is hurt somewhere in a S.H.I.E.L.D base, the Iron Man leads the registered heroes, but what about Fantastic 4?
If you followed the events of Civil War you will know how they affected Marvel’s most famous family, Sue and Reed Richards came one step away from separation (Sue was frustrated by the turn things took and the outcomes of her husband’s actions like Hulk being thrown in a black hole and the Thor clone murdering one of their own) and only in the last moment they agreed to give their marriage a second chance, one that would need their entire attention and effort. So Mr. and Mrs. Fantastic took off leaving their team lacking two members, or do they? The second most famous couple in the Marvel Universe takes their place in the quartet in issue #544, Storm and the Black Panther, after their recent wedding in the middle of the war!
I sincerely doubt this will be a long term change in the series, I find it hard to believe they will be able to tie in effectively these characters in the same book, especially the Thing and the Human Torch who are totally connected with the two missing members of their team, but who knows, maybe for 5 issues or so it will be a nice change. What seems even more interesting though is the turn the story takes in issue #545 with the return of Galaktus and the Silver Surfer, can you imagine the Black Panther against the devourer of the worlds? I can’t!
