Fantastic Four By Waid & Wieringo: Unthinkable

Mark Waid and Mike Wieringo's celebrated run leads Marvel's First Family into one of its most consequential confrontations with Doctor Doom. Doom has done the unthinkable in pursuit of greater power, and the price he paid for his terrifying new armour becomes apparent only gradually. He strikes at the heart of the team by targeting Franklin and Valeria, the children of Reed and Sue Richards, forcing the Fantastic Four to fight harder than they ever have — and requiring Mister Fantastic, a scientist to his core, to accept that magic is real. Even surviving the conflict leaves marks that do not fade, and it falls to the Thing to find a way to help. Collects Fantastic Four (1998) #67-70 and #500-502.
