☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the final issues of John Byrne's celebrated run on Fantastic Four, including issues #276-284 and the Fantastic Four Annual #19. Byrne's tenure is known for its character-driven storytelling and classic superheroics, and this concluding arc wraps up his vision for Marvel's first family with high-stakes adventures and emotional resolutions.
In "Suffer a Witch to Live...", the Beyonder tracks down Reed Richards at a volatile moment—just after Reed witnessed his wife possessed by Malice and clashed with the Hate-Monger. With Psycho-Man abandoned and the Hate-Monger's fate sealed by the Scourge, Reed finds himself caught between human turmoil and cosmic forces he can't afford to ignore. Written by Jim Shooter and illustrated by Al Milgrom, with inks by Steve Leialoha and Joe Rubinstein, and lettering by Rick Parker and Joe Rosen, this issue features a striking cover by John Byrne.
In "Back from Beyond," Jo returns to Earth from the Beyonder's realm, only to face a Dire Wraith in a fight that tests his strength and resolve. Meanwhile, the Richardses and Dr. Strange confront Mephisto in a desperate bid to save Franklin’s soul—though it’s Franklin himself who ultimately turns the tide.
In "I'll Take Manhattan," the Beyonder arrives on Earth with grand ambitions, only to find Reed Richards preoccupied—still reeling from the recent trauma of his wife's possession by Malice and the brutal defeat of the Hate-Monger. With Psycho-Man vanished and the Hate-Monger dead at the hands of the Scourge, Reed must now navigate the cosmic intruder's unpredictable agenda, all while the city itself seems to hang in the balance.
In "Inwards to Infinity!", Franklin’s dream takes a surreal turn when he crosses paths with Power Pack, setting off a chain of events that sends the Fantastic Four hurtling into the Microverse. With Sue furious over being transformed into Malice, the team races to confront Psycho-Man in a realm where reality itself bends.
In "Torment," the Fantastic Four face off against Psycho-Man in the treacherous Negative Zone, where Sue Storm is tormented by visions of her deepest fears. Meanwhile, separated from the team, She-Hulk is thrust into brutal slave labor in a desolate mine, fighting to survive in a world that offers no escape.
In "Revolution!", the Fantastic Four face off against the cunning Psycho-Man, forcing Sue Storm to make a defining choice that reshapes her identity. As She-Hulk and Pearla break free from the brutal confines of the Negative Zone mine, Sue reclaims her name—becoming Invisible Woman—on her own terms.
