In "Thunder in the Ruins!", the Thing finds himself stranded in an alternate universe where only he and Reed Richards made the fateful rocket journey—leaving the rest of the Fantastic Four behind. With no team to rely on and a world crumbling around him, Ben Grimm must confront the consequences of a reality where his powers and fate were forged alone. Written by Archie Goodwin and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema, inks by Jim Mooney, and lettering by Sam Rosen, the issue features a cover by John Buscema, John Romita, and John Verpoorten.

CarlosGeneral Robles

In "Thunder in the Ruins!", Jo, a warrior from a forgotten realm, turns to the mystical Agatha Harkness for help when his beloved Crystal vanishes. She’s been taken to the tropical nation of Terra Verde, where the villain Diablo has twisted her mind and turned her into a figurehead for a rebellion, convincing the people she’s the living goddess Ixchel. As General Robles crushes the uprising with brutal force, Jo must navigate the chaos and deception to find her before the storm of war consumes them both.
