Fantastic Four #42 (687)
In "Protocol Zero," Reed Richards pushes beyond his limits to唤醒 Ben Grimm from his despair, rallying allies from across the cosmos in a desperate bid to face the looming threat of the Reckoning. Written by Dan Slott and brought to life by Rachael Stott’s dynamic art and vibrant colors from Jesus Aburtov and Erick Arciniega, this pivotal issue sees the Fantastic Four at a breaking point—tested not just by enemies, but by the weight of their own resolve. The cover by Cafu captures the moment’s intensity, a stark visual of unity forged in crisis.
