Fantastic Four By Waid & Wieringo: Authoritative Action

Pushed past their limits, the Fantastic Four invade Latveria and take control of the country, and neither Doctor Doom nor Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. prove able to stop them. The volume is driven by the question of what is pushing Reed Richards this far, and whether his team can reach him before the bombs fall on Latveria. When their decisions cost the life of a teammate, the First Family storms the gates of heaven to bring him back. Returning to New York, they face the consequences — and an uneasy alliance with a certain web-slinger, as the Human Torch and Spider-Man take on the liquid menace of Hydro-Man. Collects Fantastic Four (1998) #503-513.
