THE WORLD'S GREATEST HARDCOVER!

During an experimental rocket mission into space, the four crew members are bombarded with powerful cosmic rays, transforming them into something more than human. Upon their return to Earth, Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, and Sue and Johnny Storm pledge to use their newfound powers to explore the boundaries of human knowledge as the Fantastic Four!

Since that fateful space flight, they have held to that original promise, no matter the odds against them. And the odds have never been greater than now - as the Fantastic Four take on a cascading wave of molecular instability threatening to melt half of New York, an alien cockroach the size of a Buick, and even a strange sentient mathematical construct seeking to determine the meaning of love.

But what happens when all Reed's vaunted scientific knowledge is rendered useless? The team's greatest nemesis, Doctor Doom, has bartered his technological genius for dark sorcery, and uses his newfound supernatural might to attack the four at their most vulnerable. Facing a Doom more powerful than ever, will the defenseless Reed make an unthinkable choice to save his family?
