“Fragments”

In "Fragments," the Fantastic Four confront the aftermath of cosmic trauma as Galactus consumes the Skrull homeworld, leaving the team reeling. With Franklin injured and the family's life upended, Reed and Sue make the bold decision to retreat to the suburbs, hoping to offer their son a semblance of normalcy—while still answering the call of duty. The revelation of Sue’s pregnancy adds quiet weight to their fragile new chapter. Written and drawn by John Byrne, with colors by Glynis Wein and letters by Jim Novak, the cover by Byrne captures the emotional stillness beneath the surface.
