Fantastic Four: Reckoning War Alpha #1

The Reckoning War kicks off in this 2022 Marvel alpha issue, with cover art by Carlos Pacheco and Rafael Fonteriz presenting a striking, ominous tableau: the four core members of the Fantastic Four — Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, a blazing Human Torch, and a rubble-buried Thing — stand amid urban devastation, flanked by She-Hulk and another armored ally, while two massive, shadowy figures loom in the purple-hazed background like forces of cosmic dread. Dan Slott's "The Day of Reckoning" promises a story with genuine weight, and the cover's sense of embattled heroes facing something far larger than themselves delivers that promise visually before you even open the book. It's a compelling entry point into what looks to be one of Marvel's most ambitious Fantastic Four events of the decade.
