Ultimate Fantastic Four #15

Part three of the "N-Zone" arc finds the Ultimate Fantastic Four suiting up for deep-space exploration, and the cover by Adam Kubert and John Dell captures the team in striking white-and-blue pressure suits, assembled before a craft emblazoned with the word "Awesome." Reed Richards stands at the center, his expression focused and determined, while the rocky-suited Thing, a flame-flickering Human Torch, the Invisible Woman, and Mr. Fantastic round out the group in full mission-ready gear. Warren Ellis's run on this series brought a wonderfully science-forward energy to Marvel's youngest team, and this 2005 issue looks like a thrilling chapter in that interstellar adventure.
