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.

After years spent in Namor's underwater prison, Doom finally escapes. The Fantastic Five are suffering through some strife as Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman have returned to the team, while the Thing's children Rad & Grim are both interested in joining and Doom's former ward Kristoff has also been aiding them. The Thing's ex-wife Sharon isn't in favor of her children becoming super heroes. When the Thing leaves to consider his problems, Doom ambushes him, having once again obtained the Power Cosmic; he reshapes Thing's protective armor into a sphere and sends him to the bottom of a lake.
