☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeTales of the Marvel Universe #1 (1997) kicks off with the Fantastic Four family at a crossroads, as Nathaniel takes drastic measures to protect the team’s scientific legacy. With the government closing in, he transports the machines to the Negative Zone and departs for Latveria alongside Kristoff, leaving the rest of the family to grapple with the fallout. Written by Tom DeFalco and illustrated by Rick Leonardi, with inks by Al Williamson and colors by Tom Smith and Graphic Color Works, the issue’s bold cover by Carlos Pacheco and Scott Koblish captures the moment’s high stakes.
In a quiet moment of tension, Lyja watches as the fragile peace of the extended Fantastic Four family begins to unravel. With Nathaniel Richards making a bold move to protect their legacy, he vanishes into the Negative Zone, taking secret technology with him—and leaving Kristoff Vernard to follow in his wake.
