Fantastic Four #41 (686)
In "Will You Watch as Our Universe Burns?", the Fantastic Four face escalating threats as Reed and Ben confront Rapture and Reject, with Ben grappling with a grim sense of destiny. Meanwhile, Johnny rescues Spyre from Annihilus and rallies Sky’s team to join the fight against The Reckoning, while the Watchers stand by, their technology weaponized despite their vow of non-intervention. In Asgard, Thor and the Silver Surfer witness the horrifying fusion of the Destroyer and Galactus’s corpse, birthing a new force the Surfer calls Destruction. Written by Dan Slott and illustrated by Rachael Stott, with colors by Erick Arciniega and letters by VC's Joe Caramagna, the cover by Carlos Pacheco and Rafael Fonteriz captures the cosmic stakes in bold, dramatic detail.
