Featuring the build-up to the Infinity event, the collection showcases Hickman's trademark intricate plotting as the Illuminati faces the incursion crisis, while the Avengers confront threats from the Builders and beyond. Key characters like Black Panther, Captain America, Iron Man, and Doctor Strange navigate moral dilemmas alongside cosmic entities such as Galactus and the Beyonders, setting the stage for Secret Wars.
In "Two Kings," Jonathan Hickman and Nick Dragotta deliver a pulse-pounding chapter of the Fantastic Four saga, where the fate of the multiverse hangs in the balance. With the Mad Celestials advancing and Sol's Anvil poised to activate, the Future Foundation and the Fantastic Four find themselves caught between a desperate defense and a future that refuses to stay in the shadows—especially when the older versions of Franklin and Valeria step into the fray. Gabriele Dell'Otto’s striking cover captures the moment the past and future collide, while the interior art by Dragotta and Sotomayor brings the cosmic stakes to life with haunting precision.
In "Two Kings," Jonathan Hickman crafts a pivotal moment in the cosmic arc of the Fantastic Four, where the Supreme Intelligence abruptly halts the Kree's long-standing genetic experiments—saving only the Inhumans, Kymellians, Alpha Centaurians, and Dire Wraiths. The decision sends ripples through the galaxy, setting the stage for a clash of ideologies and destinies among the chosen few.
In the ruins of the Baxter Building, Power Pack arrives just in time to rescue the Future Foundation, leading them to the Hub before facing off against evolved Moloids defending the mysterious Sol's Anvil. As they flee to the Negative Zone, Nathaniel, Franklin, and Valeria are soon joined by the Fantastic Four—only to find themselves caught in a desperate race to activate the weapon before the Mad Celestials strike. The arrival of future versions of Franklin and Valeria throws everything into chaos.
In "One Step Beyond," the Fantastic Four rebuild the Baxter Building and step into a new era with fresh uniforms and a sleek satellite headquarters. Valeria faces sharp words from Reed and the team over her secrecy, while Johnny prepares to move in with Peter. Meanwhile, Doctor Doom, rummaging through the ruins of the Interdimensional Council, stumbles upon the Infinity Gauntlet and begins forging a new empire—the Parliament of Doom.
