Fantastic Four by Ryan North Vol. 5

Hit author Ryan North continues his ever-surprising FANTASTIC FOUR run!

When a cosmic incident from outer space threatens forty percent of the planet, the Fantastic Four will need teamwork, cleverness and an old vehicle dug out of storage to save the world -- plus some super-science! Then, Earth is invaded by subatomic particles from the other side of the universe -- and when Mister Fantastic discovers the horrifying truth, he finds out there are some things in the universe even he and his family’s powers can’t stop! And when an excursion to Latveria magically sends the FF to an alien world, survival will be difficult on a planet so unlike our own, with a civilization hundreds of years behind ours -- and it doesn’t get any easier when Johnny Storm hooks up with one of its residents! But what is this world’s terrible secret?
