Fantastic Four #5
This volume collects the final chapters of Jonathan Hickman's acclaimed run on Fantastic Four, including issues #579-588. It features the culmination of the 'Three' and 'The Death of the Invisible Woman' story arcs, as well as the 'Solve Everything' saga, with the team facing the Council of Reed Richards and the impending doom of the Marvel Universe.
In "Point of Origin Part One: Wanderlust," the Fantastic Four face a turning point as Reed Richards confronts the Overseer, offering a fragile alliance to help restore Lowtown’s monsters—just long enough to glimpse humanity again. With Sky choosing to join them, the team prepares to return home, only to find Earth’s own struggles intensifying: Wyatt Wingfoot’s tribe is caught between Roxxon’s greed and a sudden Moloid invasion, and he’s lost contact with his friends. Written by Dan Slott and illustrated by Sean Izaakse, with colors by Marcio Menyz and Erick Arciniega and letters by VC's Joe Caramagna, this pivotal issue blends cosmic stakes with grounded tension, all wrapped in a striking cover by Nick Bradshaw.
In "Point of Origin Part One: Wanderlust," Reed Richards reflects on the past when he donates the Fantastic Four’s original rocket ship to the National Air and Space Museum, reigniting his fascination with the mission that was cut short by cosmic rays. The story quietly explores what might have been, as Reed contemplates a second chance to fulfill the dream that first brought the team together.
In "Point of Origin Part Three: Fantastic Planet," Reed and Sue confront unsettling truths about the Fantastic Four’s origins and their mysterious ties to the world of Spyre, as the Overseer’s revelations grow more dangerous. Meanwhile, Johnny and Sky uncover their own bond amid the chaos, while Ben battles the horrors of Lowtown, igniting a spark of rebellion in the oppressed beneath the city’s surface.
In "Point of Origin Part Four: Secret Agenda," the Fantastic Four face a rift as Sue and Reed question Johnny’s new soulmate, while Ben and Johnny are pulled into conflict when the Overseer deploys the Unparalleled to halt the Lowtown invasion. Reed begins to unravel a shocking truth—that the cosmic radiation storm that birthed their powers was no accident, but a deliberate manipulation by the Overseer.
In "Point of Origin Part Five: Worldbreakers," Reed’s shocking revelation about the Overseer’s manipulation of the cosmic rays that formed the Fantastic Four ignites chaos. As Sue restrains Ben from vengeance, the collapse of the Overseer’s tower forces the Unparalled heroes, Reed, Johnny, and even the Lowtown monsters to unite in a desperate bid to save lives.
In the final chapter of "Point of Origin," Reed faces the Overseer’s reckoning, offering a fragile path toward redemption that could restore Lowtown’s monsters—temporarily—while the Four prepare to return home. Sky chooses to join them, and back on Earth, Wyatt Wingfoot must confront a dual threat: Roxxon’s greed and a sudden Moloid invasion, with no word from his friends.
In "Welcoming Party," Sky’s arrival on Earth sparks unexpected tensions when the Mole Man’s clash with Wyatt Wingfoot’s Keewazi tribe threatens to spiral out of control—until she steps in, her presence quietly shifting the balance in ways no one saw coming.
