In "Are You Sure?!", the escalating clash between the Fantastic Four and the X-Men reaches a breaking point as Reed Richards remains paralyzed by indecision while Kitty Pryde's condition worsens. Doctor Doom’s unexpected intervention offers a lifeline—and a shocking shift in allegiance—while back at the Baxter Building, Sue Storm uncovers a startling entry in Reed’s old journal that hints at a secret he’s long kept. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Jon Bogdanove, with inks by Terry Austin and colors by Glynis Oliver, the issue’s cover by Jon Bogdanove and John Romita captures the tension in a single, charged moment.
