Dark Reign: Fantastic Four

During Marvel's "Dark Reign" era, Jonathan Hickman and Sean Chen delivered a five-issue miniseries redefining the Fantastic Four's place in a world ruled by Norman Osborn. With the team fractured and their public image co-opted by a new, sinister "Fantastic Four," this story pits Reed Richards and his family against a shadowy conspiracy while laying crucial groundwork for Hickman's larger Marvel saga. It's a tense, character-driven thriller that showcases the FF's resilience when they're stripped of their heroic standing.
