They are the Earth's most revered protectors: Reed Richards, Susan Richards, Ben Grimm, and Johnny Storm -- the Fantastic Four. Celebrities around the globe and defenders of mankind, these extraordinary individuals have sworn to confront the perils and challenges facing the modern world and each other, always with unyielding courage, unerring wisdom, and an unshakable familial bond.
But their darkest hour may yet be at hand, as humanity's most frightening threat comes violently from beyond the stars...from the depths of the Negative Zone, a universe in a dimension parallel to our own -- one first discovered years ago by Reed Richards himself. And it is this terrifying and deadly menace that will ultimately test the measure and mettle of four heroes sworn to protect the human race at any cost -- even their own lives....

Sue pitied the poor, semi-employed actor sweating inside that bulky, foam-rubber costume.
Talk about paying your dues, she thought.
A sparkling electric starfield, complete with glowing nebulae and supernovas, adorned the high, domed ceiling, while model spacecraft, built with varying degrees of accuracy, hung on wires above the ground floor. Life-size busts of iconic cosmic entities such as Galactus and the Watcher peered down on the patrons from opposite sides of the mezzanine. Dry-ice fog tumbled from luminous craters scattered throughout the restaurant. Sci-fi music and sound effects played in the background.
"Pretty cool!" Franklin enthused. The towheaded eight-year-old looked about him eagerly, craning his neck to check out the miniature space cruisers suspended overhead. "Look, there's Daddy's old rocket ship!"
Glancing upward, Sue located the model her son was excitedly pointing at. Sure enough, a toy-sized duplicate of Reed's original spacecraft, complete wit
