Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four #2

Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four #2 brings all-ages excitement with a cover by Michael Ryan that throws the FF straight into danger — the Thing charges forward, the Human Torch blazes with fire and energy, and Sue Storm braces herself while a green-and-gold armored villain dominates the scene, flanked by a winged figure looming behind him. The bold, dynamic composition makes it instantly clear that Reed Richards' team has their hands very full. With Akira Yoshida and Jeff Parker writing and Carlo Pagulayan on interior art, "A Plague of One" looks like a thoroughly entertaining 2005 read for Marvel fans of any age.
