☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers the Fantastic Four's involvement in Marvel's Civil War event, as the team finds itself divided over the Superhuman Registration Act. Written by Dwayne McDuffie, the story sees Reed Richards leading the pro-registration side while Susan Richards questions the cause, leading to personal and family conflict. It collects the Fantastic Four tie-in issues from the 2006-2007 storyline.
In "Street Fighting," the Fantastic Four fracture under the weight of the Superhuman Registration Act, as Sue Storm defies Reed's orders to help Wildstreak escape the Baxter Building, igniting a rift between husband and wife. With the Thing abandoning Reed to flee the country and Tony Stark and Peter Parker visiting the new Negative Zone prison Reed has built, the family’s unity collapses amid the escalating conflict. Written by J. Michael Straczynski and illustrated by Mike McKone, with inks by Andy Lanning and Cam Smith, colors by Paul Mounts, and letters by Rus Wooton, the issue’s cover by Adi Granov captures the tension in sharp, dynamic detail.
In "Street Fighting," the Thing grapples with the personal toll of the Civil War as he sits by the injured Human Torch, only to find the conflict spilling into the streets of Yancy Street, where the lines between hero and civilian blur. The story captures the tension of a neighborhood caught in the crossfire of a nation divided.
In the wake of the Superhuman Registration Act, Sue Storm finds herself torn between loyalty to her husband and her conscience when she helps Wildstreak escape the Baxter Building, sparking a rift that fractures the Richards family. As Reed’s vision of order clashes with the growing chaos, the Thing’s departure and a visit from Tony and Peter to the Negative Zone prison underscore the deepening divide within the team.
In "Many Annoying Things, None of Them French," the Thing finds himself in Paris, where he’s drawn into a bizarre clash between the city’s hidden defenders and a subterranean "mole man" leading an army of rock creatures. The mole man’s rage is fueled by a personal grievance, and now the heart of Paris stands in the crossfire of a very personal vendetta.
In a quiet coffee shop, Reed and Johnny reunite to weigh the cost of the Superhuman Registration Act, their conversation shadowed by the weight of choices made. Meanwhile, the Thinker’s chilling validation of Reed’s calculations reveals just how far the line has been crossed. Back in Paris, Johnny reaches out to Ben, offering a fragile hope of coming home.
In "C'Mon, Suzie, Don't Leave Us Hangin'," Reed and Sue face the quiet aftermath of the Civil War as they confront their fractured relationship while the rest of the team watches a nostalgic broadcast. With a mix of tenderness and resolve, they announce they're stepping back from the Fantastic Four to rebuild their marriage—and introduce the Black Panther and Storm as their unexpected replacements.
In "A Day at the Races!", Parker is sent by Jameson to photograph Johnny Storm racing, but the event quickly spirals into chaos when Spider-Man and the Torch clash in the middle of the track. The story captures the sparks flying both on the racetrack and between the two heroes, all under the watchful eye of a deadline-driven reporter.
On the 45th anniversary of the Fantastic Four, Mole Man launches an attack on the city, but Reed Richards refuses to fight—frustrated that no one has acknowledged their milestone. When the moment calls for heroes, Stan Lee makes a surprise appearance to help turn the tide.
