Now joined by artist Steve Epting (Captain America), Jonathan Hichman's tenure on FANTASTIC FOUR hits critical mass with"THREE!" The War of Four Cities has begun, and when it's run its course, one member of the Fantastic Four will have breathed their last! Change is in the air as the World's Greatest Comic Magazine lives up to its motto!

Having embarked on the ultimate journey, Reed, Sue and Johnny must contend with the defenses of the afterlife and storm the gates of Heaven itself to rescue their fallen teammate. Theyve faced the destroyer of everything, Galactus. Now they face the creator of everything, as the Fantastic Four are reunited in the hereafter. 13+

Inside a room kept secret from even his closest friends and family, Reed Richards had scrawled upon the walls 100 of the biggest and boldest ideas his brain could produce. And, recently, he added a 101st, the most audacious ever: "Solve everything." It would be a mantra that would lead the obsessively intellectual Mr. Fantastic to doing great works on behalf of humanity - and, in typically fantastic fashion, lead him into even greater trouble! For, as the big brain of the Fantastic Four will find out, solving everything carries with it a great cost, and one that is perhaps too much to pay.

Two Inhuman children seek refuge with the Fantastic Four, threatening to cause an inter-species war. Reed forgets their anniversary (again!) so Alicia, Crystal, and the She-Hulk take Susan out for a night on the town. Someone is attacking the tough guys of Yancy Street and Ben Urich, Jessica Jones, and the Thing are on the case. And finally, the reality-bending Impossible Man pops up again.

The internet-wrecking end of the Fantastic Four is here! The team meets the All-New Invaders as the hunt for Reed Richards and the missing Future Foundation kids continues! Meanwhile, the mastermind behind everything unveils his ultimate plan...but how does young Franklin Richards factor in? With the villain's plans revealed, the invasion of Earth begins -using the creatures from the "Franklinverse" as well as corrupted versions of the heroes from Heroes Reborn! Will the Fantastic Four have enough power to fight them on the streets of New York? Meanwhile, Sue, Namor and Jim Hammond travel to the Franklinverse to combat this threat at its source -but find something more terrifying than they expected! And how does all of this add up to...the end? Guest-starring the all-new Captain America, the Hulk, and Sleepwalker! Collecting: Fantastic Four (1961) #642-645.

Hulk, Dr. Strange, Sub-Mariner, Valkyrie and Nighthawk join up with Luke Cage, Daredevil and Son of Satan to take on the likes of the Wrecking Crew, Satannish and Asmodeus. Then, spinning out of a storyline in Marvel Two-In-One, comes Steve Gerber! Deconstructing genre conventions and adding a healthy dose of absurdity, Gerber's innovative run turned the expectations of readers on their heads, so suitably we're including the original Atlas Era appearances of the Headmen-Gorilla Man, Jerold Morgan and Chondu the Mystic! COLLECTING: DEFENDERS 17-21, GIANT-SIZE DEFENDERS 2-4, MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE 6-7

When Reed and Sue decide the family needs to relax, they take Ben, Johnny and the kids on a year-long vacation - through all of infinite time and space! And in the absence of Marvel's First Family, a handpicked substitute FF - Ant-Man, Medusa, She-Hulk and the new Ms. Thing - stand ready to guard the Earth. What could possibly go wrong? As Reed Richards struggles to hide his true motivations and the Future Foundation reacts to their mentors' replacements, Doom the Annihilating Conqueror rises! Can Reed cure the disease that's killing the team? COLLECTING: Fantastic Four (2012) 1-16, 5AU ; FF (2012) 1-16; Marvel Now! Point One 1
