F4 order… I’ve arbitrarily started somewhere and I think I should have started farther back

Hello! Thanks for taking a moment to read this and hopefully point me in the right direction.

I’ve been branching out into Fantastic Four.

Online guides and most reddit guides point to Hickman’s F4 as the go-to… so I’ve done that. I’m about half way through.

More and more elements of it make be believe (and I assumed as much but it’s more than I thought and it’s becoming really evident) there’s so much before this that’s relevant to the current plot…

Siege was also suggested to me - and that one looks like it requires more background than the one I’m on.

Can anyone tell me if there should have been something suggested before Hickman, and before Siege?

I have read Hickman’s Avengers and Secret Wars - Illuminati etc…

Thanks so much!
