Fantastic Five #1

The opening chapter of this five-part Marvel limited series wastes no time establishing the stakes — a hooded, armored Doctor Doom looms ominously over the entire team as they charge forward in full force. Leading the pack is a blue-suited Mr. Fantastic, flanked by the Thing, an Invisible Woman, a flame-wreathed Human Torch, and several other teammates rounding out the expanded roster. Clayton Henry's cover art gives the ensemble a real sense of momentum, and with Tom DeFalco writing alongside Ron Lim and Scott Koblish on interior art, this 2007 series brings a confident, adventure-driven energy to Marvel's first family — and then some.
