About this Collection

This collection reprints the first six issues of the 2009 series Fantastic Four: World's Greatest, a short-lived revival that aimed to recapture the spirit of the classic Stan Lee and Jack Kirby run. Written by Steve Englehart and drawn by Mike McKone, the story pits the team against a new villain called the Psycho-Man while exploring the dynamics of the Richards family. It's a standalone, accessible arc for readers looking for a modern take on the original FF formula.

In "World's Greatest, Part One of Four," the Fantastic Four face a shocking revelation as the future version of Sue Storm, now known as Tabitha Deneuve, appears to attack them—claiming the team's fate lies in the twisted machinery powered by Galactus’s corpse. Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch deliver a bold, visually striking start to a high-stakes saga, with Hitch’s dynamic art and Paul Neary’s cover capturing the eerie, urgent tone of a world on the brink.
