Fantastic Four #3

In "Herald of Doom," the Fantastic Four watch in stunned silence as Doom confronts Galactus, drawn to Latveria by the overwhelming cosmic energy radiating from his new herald, Victorious. The fate of the world hangs in the balance as ancient forces collide, and the true nature of this new herald remains shrouded in mystery.

In "Four-Man Invasion," Reed and Victor clash over how to face Galactus, but Reed’s understanding of the cosmic threat is incomplete—especially as Galactus has changed during the time Reed and Sue were exploring the multiverse. With Alicia and Wyatt stepping in to stop Valeria and Franklin from rushing to Latveria, Doom’s true plan begins to unfold when Reed’s attempts to reason with Galactus fail.

In "First-World Power," Doom's audacious bid to siphon power from Galactus puts the Fantastic Four on a deadly stage he believes he controls. As he broadcasts their entrapment to the world, Sue's quiet defiance—spurred by a personal taunt—unravels his carefully constructed image in a moment that leaves his true face exposed to all.

In "Outside the Box," the Fantastic Four rely on their old instincts to outwit Doom’s traps, while a separate thread in Arizona sees Wyatt and Alicia searching for Franklin—only to be confronted by shadow demons unleashed by his friend Wendy. Valeria’s new teleporter becomes key when she sends the creatures to Latveria, diverting Doom’s forces just long enough for the team to escape and reunite with their family.

In "License to Quantum Drive," Franklin and Valeria Reed face off against the ultimate test: driving Reed Richards’ most experimental vehicles—only to abandon the exam mid-sentence when a crisis calls the Fantastic Four. As the teens race through the skies in a gravity-defying jalopy, Doctor Doom uncovers a strange, cosmic-laced clay left over from Galactus’ recent imprisonment and hands it to the Puppet Master, who sees more than just a material—something far more sinister.
