Startling Stories: Fantastic Four - Unstable Molecules #4

The concluding chapter of Marvel's genre-bending 2003 miniseries arrives with a cover by Craig Thompson that's quietly arresting — a man's face rendered in close, intimate detail, tilted nearly upside-down, his expression unreadable, while smaller inset panels hint at the broader cast of characters surrounding this very human story. Subtitled "The True Story of Comics' Greatest Foursome," Unstable Molecules has always treated the Fantastic Four's world through a grounded, literary lens, and this final issue promises the same thoughtful ambition that writer James Sturm and artist Guy Davis have brought to the series throughout. A satisfying conclusion to one of Marvel's more quietly daring projects of the era.
