Fantastic Four #548

Part of Marvel's 2007 "The Initiative" banner, this issue showcases a bold new era for the Fantastic Four with a striking cover by penciler Michael Turner and inker Mark Roslan. The team's lineup looks refreshingly different here — Sue Storm floats ready for action alongside a blazing Human Torch, the ever-rocky Thing anchors the foreground, while two unfamiliar faces take prominent spots: a sharp-featured man in a blue FF uniform and a white-haired woman in black with dramatic wings spread behind her. Writer Dwayne McDuffie and artist Paul Pelletier continue their "Reconstruction" arc, and if this cover is any indication, the team dynamic has some genuinely intriguing new energy running through it.
