Ultimate Fantastic Four Epic Collection – The Fantastic (paperback)

The modern reimagining of Marvel in the Ultimate Universe took the early 2000s by storm, and the Fantastic Four were one of the biggest stars of the initiative!

When high-school genius Reed Richards enrolls at a secret, government-sponsored school for the most gifted minds in the world, he unwittingly embarks on the journey of a lifetime! And the experience will be transformative for Reed and his friends: Ben Grimm, and Susan and Johnny Storm! But before they can even begin to get accustomed to their incredible new abilities, former classmate Victor Van Damme – forever altered by the same experiment – returns to exact his revenge!

Plus: The nascent FF explore the N-Zone! Young Reed wants to duplicate the accident that changed the four and thereby reverse the process. But will his noble attempts at redress cause more harm than good? And can the quartet survive their encounter with Ultimate Annihilus?!
