The collaboration of Mark Waid and Mike Wieringo immediately set out to more clearly define the team. Not superheroes at all, but Imaginauts... explorers of anything and everything imaginable. Waid deftly weaves together a range of genres ranging from monster attack (the attack of the mathematical expression) to political drama (the annexation and reconstruction of Latveria). This series literally takes the Fantastic Four to heaven and hell as Doctor Doom forsakes science for the darkest of magic, perhaps the only weapon Reed Richards has no defense for.
J. Michael Straczynski and Dwayne McDuffie follow this run as the Fantastic Four are drawn into the events of Civil War which split the team down the center, allowing for recent newly weds Black Panther and Storm to fill the roles of Reed and Sue. |
