Ultimate Fantastic Four #9

A gleaming, energy-wreathed Silver Surfer dominates the center of this 2007 Marvel trade, while the Ultimate Fantastic Four — Mr. Fantastic, the Thing, the Human Torch ablaze, and the Invisible Woman — flank him with unmistakable tension. Collecting the five-part "Silver Surfer" arc from writer Mike Carey and artist Pasqual Ferry, whose fluid linework and Justin Ponsor's vivid colors make every page feel alive, this ninth volume of Ultimate Fantastic Four sets up what promises to be a genuinely compelling cosmic encounter. A great entry point for fans who want their favorite quartet pushed into grander, more otherworldly territory.
