Issue Description

Having escaped Gideon’s clutches, the Fantastic Four must now take on the Wild Ones Gang! But how does Slugger Johnson fit into this madness? And finally, an ending where the FF don’t win!

The Shaper, an alien born from the first cosmic cube, takes the dreams of Slugger Johnson, a petty thug, and creates a world around them. This world quickly captures not only Johnson and the Shaper, but also the Fantastic Four on their way back from their last battle. Much to their own surprise, the older FF members (Reed and Ben) quickly turn against the younger ones (Medusa and Jonny). This turn of events is quickly explained, as it becomes obvious that this world that the Shaper created is caught in a battle of generations. Will the FF be able to see through this warped reality, and bring everything back to normal?

Volume Description

The Fantastic Four were created in response to DC's Justice League and soon became the Silver Age's premier superhero team. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby collaborated on the opening 102 issues of the magazine, and told the adventures of Mr. Fantastic, the Thing, Invisible Woman and the Human Torch. This first volume ran through issue #416, before it was rebooted as Fantastic Four (vol. 2) (13 issues) as part of the short lived Heroes Reborn arc. The series was restarted again with issue 1 in Fantastic Four (vol. 3) before it reverted back to the original numbering with issue #500.
