Fantastic Four #601

The Thing fills nearly every inch of this cover with raw, rocky menace — fists raised and teeth bared, he looks like he's ready to punch his way through the page itself. Medallion portraits of his teammates — the Human Torch, the Invisible Woman, and Mr. Fantastic — circle the title above him, reminding readers that Marvel's first family is very much in the mix. With Jonathan Hickman writing and Steve Epting on interior art, and Mike Choi delivering this powerhouse cover image, Fantastic Four #601 promises the ambitious, high-stakes storytelling that defined this creative team's celebrated run.
