Die Fantastischen Vier #9

In "Eine Träne für Kanada," the Thing joins forces with Alpha Flight to defend Canada from the ancient and malevolent Ranark, whose rampage threatens to unravel the nation’s very fabric. When the battle ends, Walter Langkowski returns to New York with Ben Grimm, only to face a heartbreak he cannot overcome—there’s no cure for Bill Foster’s worsening radiation sickness, and even the might of the Fantastic Four may not be enough to save him.

In "Das Schicksal des Giganten," Giant-Man faces a fatal end as radiation poisoning takes hold, forcing Thing and Spider-Woman to confront the man they believe responsible—Atom Smasher. As the truth unfolds, a shocking connection to Atom Smasher’s past emerges, leading Spider-Woman to attempt a desperate cure that alters both her powers and Giant-Man’s destiny.
