Fantastic Four #21

In "Le procès," Valeria von Doom settles in Reed Richards’ lab with her usual flair, while the Fantastic Four find themselves caught in a conspiracy that leads them to the San Diego Comic Convention. There, the Avengers—under mysterious influence—turn on them, revealing a trap orchestrated by the Red Skull and the Mad Thinker, who make off with SHIELD’s Helicarrier.

In the quiet moments before the storm, the Fantastic Four gather with friends and allies for a rare, joyful feast—Franklin Richards laughs with Valeria von Doom, while Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben share stories beneath the city lights. But when the chaos storm arrives too soon, the celebration shatters as a monstrous tidal wave surges toward Manhattan, forcing Sue to send Franklin, Caledonia, and Puppy to safety—just as the sky itself begins to unravel.
