Summary

In 1997, Marvel Comics took the unprecedented step of reintroducing and "relaunching" the series of their most popular characters, repositioning them for success in the 1990s and beyond. First up is The Fantastic Four, comics' First Family, the comic book series that by itself launched the entire Marvel Universe. The Fantastic Four have recently returned to a world which had thought them dead, and now they must discover if it is a world that still has need of their fantastic powers and abilities. They find the answer in three unique threats: the mysterious, anti-technology cadre known only as The Ruined, the inter-dimensional tracker Iconoclast, and the Red Ghost, a dangerous holdover from the days of Soviet Russia. Reed and Sue Richards -- Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman -- Ben Grimm, the ever lovin' blue-eyed Thing, and the hot-headed Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, must all discover their new roles as heroes in a world that rapidly approaches the turn of the century. As the threats of a new age face these timeless heroes, their exploits once again reaffirm their long-time tagline, "The World's Greatest comic Magazine!"
