Dark Reign: Fantastic Four #2
In "The Bridge Chapter Two," the Fantastic Four face a crisis that splits them across realities as the Baxter Building is invaded by authorities under Osborn’s orders. While Franklin defiantly holds the line below, Reed grapples with the fallout of the Civil War from countless dimensions above, and his family—Ben, Sue, and Johnny—struggle to survive a surreal journey through dinosaurs, knights, and pirates, unaware of what’s happening to the others. Written by Jonathan Hickman and illustrated by Sean Chen, with inks by Lorenzo Ruggiero and colors by John Rauch, this issue’s cover by Pasqual Ferry captures the tension of a team fractured by forces beyond their control.
