Fantastic Four #23

All four members of Marvel's First Family find themselves in the thick of it on Salvador Larroca and Art Thibert's cover for this 1999 issue, as a massive, looming figure dominates the composition while the Human Torch, Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, and the Thing scramble around it amid flames and debris. The story arc banner promises "Chaos at a Comic Con!" — a wonderfully self-aware setting that suggests the team's adventures have crashed into convention hall territory. Chris Claremont brings his storytelling sensibilities to the FF here, and with Larroca's dynamic linework capturing the frantic energy of the scene, issue #23 looks like a genuinely fun ride.
