Continuing on from writer Ryan North\u2019s just-finished Fantastic Four series, which we are all fans of, and you should definitely read, it\u2019s the new Fantastic Four series from writer Ryan North and artist Humberto Ramos! Marvel\u2019s First Family are taking on Emperor Doom, but Doom has had enough of their refusal to let him rule. The only way for them to learn their lesson: send them each to a different era, alone! Fighting to survive in wildly different time periods, Sue, Reed, Ben, and Johnny all know their only hope is to reach the Forever Stone. One of the longest lasting rocks on the planet that has stayed intact and accessible through Earth\u2019s history, it\u2019s been part of the Fantastic Four\u2019s long-term plan if they ever found themselves separated. Can they all survive long enough to make it to the Forever Stone? Can they figure out how to reunite without the usual technology? Can the Thing fight off multiple dinosaurs at once? Probably!<\/p>\n\n\n
