Fantastic Four By Waid & Wieringo: Rising Storm

Fantastic Four By Waid & Wieringo: Rising Storm collects Mark Waid and Mike Wieringo's acclaimed run on the Fantastic Four, delivering a modern golden-age vibe with heart, humor, and high-stakes cosmic spectacle. The Wizard schemes to destroy the First Family, while a menacing Frightful Four and a surprising secret weapon push the team to its limits. A city-wide crisis strands Manhattan as alien fleets cut off the world, forcing the FF to reunite with unlikely allies and make choices that forever reshape the lineup—perhaps even reshaping Johnny Storm's powers as he challenges the cosmos. Waid's accessible, character-driven scripting pairs with Wieringo's dynamic, expressive art to recapture the sense of wonder that defined the FF's classic era. This trade paperback collects issues 514–524 from the 1998 series, presenting a complete, stand-alone saga that reads like a modern relaunch with timeless appeal.
