Essential Fantastic Four #3

"Bedlam At The Baxter Building!" brings chaos to the wedding of Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Girl when Doctor Doom unleashes his Emotion Charger, turning a celebration into a battlefield as a horde of super-villains descends on the Baxter Building. With the fate of the wedding—and the city—hanging in the balance, the Fantastic Four and their allies must defend their home from an onslaught they never saw coming.

In "Those Who Would Destroy Us!", the Fantastic Four find themselves locked in a fierce clash with the Inhumans, their alliance pushed to the breaking point. When Triton is taken by the Seeker and the Inhumans vanish into the shadows, the team rushes to his rescue—only to be captured in turn, trapped in a web of alien technology and shifting loyalties.

In "The Coming of Galactus!", the Fantastic Four face a new threat after thwarting Maximus’s scheme, only to be warned by the Watcher of an even greater peril: the arrival of the planet-devouring Galactus. With Earth now in his sights, the team must prepare for a battle that could decide the fate of the world.

In "If This Be Doomsday!", the Fantastic Four race against time to halt Galactus’s planetary consumption, while the Watcher guides the Human Torch on a desperate quest to find a weapon capable of stopping the cosmic devourer. With Alicia Masters urging the Silver Surfer to choose humanity over his oath, the fate of Earth hangs in the balance.

In "The Startling Saga of the Silver Surfer," the Fantastic Four unite with the cosmic enforcer of destruction to turn back the devourer of worlds, Galactus, and save Earth. As the dust settles, Johnny Storm steps into a new chapter, beginning college and finding an unexpected connection with Wyatt Wingfoot.

In "This Man... This Monster!", a desperate scientist transforms himself into a monstrous version of the Thing and infiltrates the Baxter Building with deadly intent—only to find his mission undone by a twist of fate that saves Reed Richards, though at the cost of his own life, in a final, tragic plunge into the Negative Zone.

In "The Torch That Was!", the Mad Thinker unleashes a long-lost android version of the Human Torch, reactivating the synthetic hero to turn against the Fantastic Four. As the team faces an enemy from their past, they must confront not just a mechanical foe, but the haunting echoes of what once was.
