Fantastic Four #44 (689)
In "Sacrifice Everything," the Fantastic Four face their most desperate battle yet as Reed Richards learns of his impending death. With Franklin and Valeria having outmaneuvered Ruin, the team unites to confront the Reckoning, while the final truth behind the Watchers' silence is unveiled. Dan Slott's gripping story, illustrated by Andrea Di Vito, Davide Tinto, and Rachael Stott with vibrant colors by Jesus Aburtov and sharp lettering by VC's Joe Caramagna, culminates in a moment of ultimate choice — as the Surfer brings the Ultimate Nullifier to the field and Reed prepares to pay any price to save them all. The cover by Cafu captures the weight of that moment in stark, powerful detail.
