Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four #45

In "If You Can't Join Them -- Buy Them!", Midas makes a wildly ambitious bid to become a full-fledged member of the Fantastic Four, resorting to everything from flattery to staged threats—aided by his uneasy partner, Madame Masque. Written by Paul Tobin and brought to life by Vicenç Villagrasa’s dynamic art and SotoColor’s A. Dalhouse’s vibrant colors, this 2009 issue captures the team’s signature blend of humor and heart. Clayton Henry’s cover perfectly captures Midas’s over-the-top determination.
