Stories

The Bridge Chapter Four · 22 pages
Norman, Mac and HAMMER invade the Baxter Building looking for the Fantastic Four but Valeria catches Osborn in a legal loophole and brings him alone to face the wrath of Spider-Cowboy Franklin and his toy pistols of justice. Reed reaches some dire conclusions after studying the effect of the Illuminati across all realities and shuts off The Bridge. This also returns Ben, Sue and Johnny from a cross-dimension battle with Skrulls infected by Venom symbiotes. The Fantastic Four head downstairs to find Norman Osborn shooting at the children.

Publisher’s description

Dark Reign strikes Marvel’s first family—in an explosive way! Prepared to be blown away as: HAMMER agents attack the Baxter Building. Reed changes everything. The Human Torch suffers a horrible loss and Franklin and Val go shopping. There's Time travel, Alternate realities, Celestials, Eternals, Deviants and Doombots... and more important than all of that, we find out the answer to the question: What is the Bridge?
