Ultimate Fantastic Four #35

The third chapter of the "God War" arc arrives with a striking cover by Pasqual Ferry — the Thing seated and restrained against a dark, crumbling stone backdrop, a bolt of crackling energy tearing through his chest as shadowy forms loom at the edges. It's a quietly ominous image that conveys real vulnerability for one of Marvel's most durable powerhouses. Mike Carey and Ferry are deep into a six-part saga, and this 2006 issue makes clear the Ultimate Fantastic Four are facing something far beyond their usual challenges.
