Fantastic Four #36 (681)

In "Flame On," Johnny Storm faces a terrifying transformation after a cosmic ray mutation spirals out of control, leaving him isolated and struggling to maintain his humanity. With Reed stumped and the bond between Johnny and Sky severed as she returns to her home world, the Fantastic Four grapple with the fallout—while Alicia tries to keep the kids' world normal, even as the household tension burns just beneath the surface. Written by Dan Slott and brought to life by Nico Leon’s dynamic art and Dono Sánchez-Almara’s vivid colors, this issue captures the emotional weight of a hero at his breaking point, all under Mark Brooks’ striking cover.
