Remember that fuss during NYCC about the hastily pulled IGN article announcing the relaunch of Fantastic Four from James Robinson And Leonard Kirk? Well, however the signals got crossed back then, it's officially official, this time from USA Today:

The FF evicted from the Baxter Building and facing the Avengers. The Thing in prison for murder. Johnny Storm powerless. Dragon Man sentenced to death. The imagination of Sue and Reed Richards' son Franklin becoming all too real while his younger sister is on her own.

Ultimately, Robinson reveals, his upcoming run is about "a family finding the strength to face adversity through the help and love of each other."

Debuting in February as part of Marvel's "All-New Marvel Now" initiative, the new Fantastic Four series brings together Robinson and artist Leonard Kirk to add to the legacy of the supergroup Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created in 1961.

That's a pretty nifty Alex Ross cover there, too. Robinson tells them;

"We're going to see the fragmentation of the family due to villainous outside forces that are slowing picking at them and eroding them," Robinson says. "The arc I'm going to be telling is basically the fall and the rise of the Fantastic Four, and especially the fall and rise of Johnny Storm."

Wait, didn't he just die already? It's tough to be the Human Torch..
