Written by Ryan North. Art by Carlos Gomez. Cover by Alex Ross. She came in trouble, all five feet, six inches of it. Even her name was a warning that things were about to get bad for me, real quick: "Storm." Miss Susie Storm, standing there in a blue gown custom-made to take years off the life of anyone who saw her, big as life in my crummy office. The doll needed a private eye to find her boyfriend. Seems he'd pulled a disappearing act: one "Professor Richards," a hard-luck egghead who'd somehow scored way out of his league. I didn't want to take her case, but my bank account said otherwise, and besides: There was something about her. A sense of danger maybe, but also, a vulnerability. Call me a sap, but the world's a rough place - and me, I didn't want to make it any rougher on her. 'Course, it wasn't long before I wished I'd had the good sense to keep my distance... 26 pages, full color. Rated T+ Cover price $3.99.

Written by Marv Wolfman, Bill Mantlo, and George Perez. Art by Keith Pollard, Sal Buscema, George Perez, and John Byrne. Cover by Joe Sinnott.

In their latest, greatest Marvel Masterworks, the Fantastic Four confront one of their oldest enemies: the Skrulls! And they'll have to do it as their older selves after an aging weapon advances them to death's door! The talents of Marv Wolfman, Keith Pollard and John Byrne - in his FF debut - keep the story feisty, the art spry and the adventure fantastic. How could it not be when the world-devourer Galactus enters the fray with a new herald? As if that weren't enough, the cosmic Sphinx, scheming Monocle, combustible Blastaar, formidable Frightful Four and diabolical Salem's Seven keep the scope epic, the stakes absolute and you on the edge of your seat! And H.E.R.B.I.E.? He's just keeping it real.
