If you’re going to read Hickman’s Fantastic Four, you’ll want to read his FF (Future Foundation) series as well. The books are tied pretty closely together.

It depends which versions of the collections you are getting. Most of the modern collections have the two series intertwined correctly, so you don't have anything to worry about.

When they were being released initially, the collections were separated and you had to buy both of them and switch between them to get the full story.

Is there a different one you recommend, because I was thinking of getting this one https://www.amazon.com/FANTASTIC-FOUR-JONATHAN-HICKMAN-COLLECTION/dp/1302913360/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?crid=2T9ONTP1B4E2J&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.e_um1n0k-HKhgJCpMBY8hd3YTl1bpvbgrJdkJ1h8qPkITVvzUvbbmZ7gd8_DTHDwxCb34Ru3zDNyONbbSdDPvnCAU719URjO6ZbmY5MopYbCoTb-9g34HvUdtdDEzt9RzSiIPCDQGmxd-PYi-FN3N0nsaUiSUYf797kFbtGqQGB-WMB-SaPUKp0hy_3AjFy44SWdrrpJgfp4vlqDxwqm2A.7ArOfttZ9r28gDUJs3Et0dThth29W-VOWyC_Hm4dQ4E&dib_tag=se&keywords=fantastic+four&qid=1743912518&sprefix=fantastic+four%2Caps%2C76&sr=8-5

That one is perfectly fine. It will have all the stories in the right order.

The 1980s run by John Byrne is strongly recommended. His Dr. Doom and Galactus stories are really well done.

I like the short 1990s run by Walt Simonson, who did some great time travel adventures, including the introduction of the TVA. He also had the fun New Fantastic Four arc, where Spider-Man, Hulk, Ghost Rider and Wolverine temporarily took over.

The 2000s run by Mark Waid is a fan favorite. He did some great work with the personalities of the team, but I feel that his Doom and Galactus storylines weren't as strong. Still worth reading.

And you are already reading Hickman and North, so you've got most of the really good ones down.

Grab the Waid omnibus. Great Doom in there.

Most of the recommendations above are great however if you have interest in classic stories not designed for trade paperbacks, check out the Marvel Masterworks collections on a case by case basis.
