Stories

Madmen & Prophets · 22 pages
The Fantastic Four and the Inhumans face Maximus and Subterraneans, who have been transformed by the Terrigen Mists. Maximus retreats from the fight with Crystal and puts her in the 'creation device' (source of the Terrigen Mists), planning to make her his queen. Once Maximus is defeated, Crystal is removed from the device, but the effect the ordeal had on her is uncertain. The Inhumans invite the Fantastic Four to a celebratory feast, Johnny says goodbye to Crystal, and Lockjaw takes the Four home. In Latveria, Dr. Doom gets a control card with information of the future from his future self.
