True Believers: Empyre - Galactus #1
In "Fragments," John Byrne’s dynamic art and storytelling bring a quiet, poignant moment to the cosmic scale of Empyre: Galactus consumes the Skrull homeworld, while the Richards family grapples with the aftermath. With Franklin injured and the future uncertain, Sue’s new pregnancy adds a fragile hope as the family seeks a normal life in the suburbs—still part of the Fantastic Four, but trying to find peace amidst the chaos. The issue’s cover by Byrne captures the emotional weight of the moment, a striking visual echo of the story’s intimate stakes.
