Fantastic Four #8

This 1997 Marvel series continues to shake up the Fantastic Four's world with "The Ties That Bind," written by Brandon Choi and Jim Lee. Brett Booth and Tom McWeeney's cover delivers a striking ensemble charge — the rocky, orange-hided Thing surges forward alongside the flame-wreathed Human Torch, while Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman lead the rush in sleek dark uniforms, flanked by the armored Black Bolt and a red-haired figure in a flowing cape. It's a dynamic, wall-to-wall lineup that makes clear this incarnation of Marvel's First Family has plenty of firepower to spare.
