Ultimate Fantastic Four #60

Tied into the sweeping Ultimatum event, this 2009 issue of Ultimate Fantastic Four presents all four teammates in a tense, unified stance — Reed Richards and Sue Storm in the foreground with determined expressions, the rocky bulk of the Thing looming behind them, and the Human Torch blazing brilliantly overhead against a dark sky. The cover pencils by Ed McGuinness and inks by Karl Story give the team a sense of weighty resolve, as if they're bracing for something far bigger than themselves. With writing by Joe Pokaski and art by Tyler Kirkham, this is a solid entry in Marvel's Ultimate line at a pivotal moment for its universe.
