Trivia · 7 facts

Cover date: January 1996; on-sale date: November 28, 1995. Published under the Marvel 2099 banner (Earth-928).
Written by Karl Kesel; penciled by Rick Leonardi; inked by Al Williamson; colored by Paul Becton; lettered by Janice Chiang; edited by Joey Cavalieri. Editor-in-chief: Bobbie Chase.
First appearance of Chimera (Earth-928), an enigmatic Negative Zone entity who accompanies the FF to 2099 and later turns antagonist against Sue Storm.
First appearance of Ryan 'Riot' Wingfoot (Earth-928), a Stark-Fujikawa enforcer and future-era descendant of the Wingfoot family from classic FF continuity.
First appearance of Stark-Fujikawa executives Shudo and Hikaru-Sama — the megacorporation claims the FF are unauthorized 'experimental subjects,' setting up the series' central fugitive premise.
First appearance (unnamed/in shadow) of the 2099 Victor von Doom, who looms over the series; the FF are displaced into 2099 via an anomaly in the Negative Zone, arriving in new costumes.
The series ran for eight issues total in 1996; Kesel wrote issues #1–4, with creative-team changes through the final issues. The series was a limited run concurrent with the broader collapse of the 2099 imprint.
