Fantastic Four #526

Issue #526 brings "Dream Fever, Part 2 of 2" to a fiery close, with a cover by penciler Jim Cheung and inker John Dell that puts the Human Torch front and center — flames wreathing his entire body as he radiates intense, focused energy. Looming powerfully behind him is the Thing, rocky fists clenched and those small blue eyes steady and resolute. It's a striking portrait of two of Marvel's most enduring teammates that sets an appropriately charged tone for the conclusion of this two-part story from writer Karl Kesel and artist Tom Grummett.
