Fantastic Four #1

In "24 Blocks and One Blockhead," the Thing’s fury erupts after a prank gone wrong, sending him on a rampage targeting the Yancy Street Gang. Meanwhile, a strange, otherworldly presence surfaces at the Fantastic Four’s headquarters, and Sue Storm attempts to guide Johnny toward responsibility by giving him a crucial task.

In "Sentient Part 1," Johnny Storm struggles to find his footing as head of FF, Inc.'s financial division, even as his teammates face a sudden threat. While at a movie theater, Sue Storm and the Thing are ambushed by an enigmatic, extratechnological life-form that defies their understanding.

In "Sentient Part 2," the Fantastic Four press on against the relentless electrochemical entity known as Modulus, their efforts stymied by its shifting, unpredictable nature. With Reed Richards analyzing the creature’s patterns, a breakthrough may be within reach—but whether it’s enough to stop Modulus before it strikes again remains uncertain.

In "Sentient Part 3," while the rest of the Fantastic Four fight Modulus in the field, Reed Richards stays behind in his lab, deep in concentration as he races to crack the mathematical formula that could turn the tide. The weight of the battle rests on his calculations, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

In "Small Stuff … Part 1," Reed and the Thing are on the hunt for a mysterious insect-like alien that’s slipped into the Fantastic Four’s headquarters, while Sue grapples with unsettling news—Johnny may have unknowingly handed over the secret behind their incredibly durable uniforms.

In "... Big Stuff," Reed and the Thing are still grappling with a mysterious bug infestation when a secret experiment by scientists working for the fashion mogul Jacob Suarti goes catastrophically wrong, unleashing a dangerous chain reaction of unstable molecules. As the situation escalates, the team must confront a threat that could unravel their very suits—and possibly more—before it's too late.

In "Remembrance of Things Past," the Thing confronts Powderkeg during a tense standoff with Hiram Sheckerberg, a man from his childhood neighborhood, forcing a reckoning with old memories and unexpected connections. When Powderkeg questions the Thing’s heritage with a surprised remark—“You don’t look Jewish”—the moment becomes a quiet turning point, layered with history and identity.
