Fantastic Four Epic Collection #21

In "Big Trouble on Little Earth!," the Fantastic Four find themselves outmatched when the rogue Skrull De'Lila turns the tide against them. With the Skrulls in pursuit, De'Lila lands on Monster Island, disrupting the Mole Man’s solitude—and then impersonates Sue Storm to assemble a new, unexpected team to fend off the alien threat.

In "A Matter of Honor," Super-Skrull K’Lrt defies Empress S’Byll’s orders by hunting down Reptyl, now in command of a Kree vessel, and confronting him in a high-stakes mission that blurs the line between duty and defiance. Returning to Skrullos to face whatever punishment awaits, K’Lrt’s actions set off a chain of consequences that test the very meaning of loyalty in a war-torn galaxy.

In "The More Things Change...! or It's the Real Thing," Doom’s return brings unexpected twists: he cures Kristoff and Ms. Marvel, then challenges Reed to a duel that spans time itself. As the battle unfolds, Thing reverts from human to his rocky, spiky form, setting the stage for a confrontation that tests the limits of science, identity, and fate.

When the Puppet Master grows suspicious of his step-daughter Alicia Masters Storm’s mental state, he manipulates Marvel Boy to bring her to him—unaware that Alicia no longer remembers him, nor does she sculpt the lifelike figures she once did. The resulting confrontation ignites a fierce clash between the New Warriors and the Fantastic Four, as old ties and new tensions come to a head.
