Stories

Some Words Can Never Be Taken Back · 22 pages
When Sue helps Wildstreak escape from the Baxter Building against her husband's wishes, the couple fight and the Civil War splits the Richard's family right down the middle. The Thing also deserts Reed by informing him that he is leaving the country until the superhuman registration mess is cleared up. Tony and Peter stop by to take a look at the new superhuman prison that Mr. Fantastic has set up in the Negative Zone.
