Fantastic Four #517

Part of Marvel's 2004 "Disassembled" crossover event, this issue finds the Fantastic Four in the thick of chaos — and the cover by Mike Wieringo and Karl Kesel captures that tension vividly. All four members are visible amid a crumbling cityscape: a wide-eyed Mr. Fantastic grapples with a rocky-fisted Thing in the foreground, while the Human Torch blazes overhead and Sue Storm gestures urgently through swirling flames behind them. With Mark Waid scripting under the "Fourtitude" banner, this is a striking snapshot of Marvel's First Family pushed hard against the edge.
