About this Collection

This 2011 collection from Marvel brings together issues of the Fantastic Four storyline that focuses on the dynamics of the team's ever-growing family, including the return of long-lost relatives and new additions to the clan. Written by Jonathan Hickman, the arc explores the bonds between Reed Richards, Susan Storm, Ben Grimm, and Johnny Storm as they navigate threats that test their unity. The volume collects Fantastic Four #583-588, featuring the debut of the Future Foundation and the introduction of a new character named Bentley-23.

In "The Fantastic Four!", the team is thrown into uncertainty when Reed, Johnny, and Ben vanish during the Secret War, leaving Sue to navigate the aftermath with a handful of Avengers. When they return, Sue is confronted with unexpected changes: Ben has chosen to stay behind, She-Hulk has joined the team, and her own personal journey with the baby brings new challenges. Written and illustrated by John Byrne, with colors by Glynis Wein and letters by Michael Higgins, this 2011 issue features a striking cover by Steve Epting.
