Fantastic Four #5
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.
