Legendary writer Jonathan Hickman's sprawling, landmark Fantastic Four run begins here! Dark Reign strikes Marvel's first family in an explosive way - with HAMMER agents attacking the Baxter Building! But as Reed Richards builds a bridge across the multiverse to learn how to solve everything, he finds more than he bargained for...what is the Council? The FF deal with the Wizard and the Mole Man, a familiar visitor arrives from the future with a mysterious message, and the team journeys deep beneath the Earth, under the sea and to the moon -where they learn a startling secret about the history of the Inhumans. It's superior super hero storytelling as only Jonathan Hickman can deliver it!
