Fantastic Four Vol. 2: The Invincible Woman

The Fantastic Four face the malice of…the Invincible Woman!

Extremophile aliens have invaded Earth! Their plan: stop the planet’s rotation so the same side always faces the sun – and then colonize that boiling, deadly side for themselves. Only the Fantastic Four can save Earth from destruction! But none of their powers involve altering the Earth’s rotation – or do they? And when the Wizard takes advantage of the chaos to attack the Baxter Building, there may be more going on here than meets the eye – including a discovery that’ll change the Fantastic Four’s fate forever! With a message hidden in the structure of the reality itself decoded, Sue Storm will become the most wanted woman in the universe! Solving this mystery, the FF will voyage into new and unknown parts of the cosmos to save Galactus – only to find ruin at the hands of the Invincible Woman! As she sets her sights on Earth, will anyone survive? And at what cost?! Plus: The beginnings of the all-new Future Foundation! And an FF tale from the legendary Stan Sakai!
