Writer/artist John Byrne is bringing down the house - literally! The new face of Doctor Doom turns toward the FF and destroys their home and headquarters, the Baxter Building. With no safe haven, no equipment and no place to regroup, the team then faces an all-out riot in New York! The Hate-Monger and Psycho-Man are twisting the emotions of the city's people - and only a trip into the Microverse can put an end to the violence! These adventures expertly tap straight into the heart of the characters, illuminating why the Fantastic Four are enduring Marvel icons! Plus: Byrne's SHE-HULK graphic novel and an Avengers crossover that will have major implications for the future of the Skrulls! Collecting FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #278-285 and ANNUAL #19, AVENGERS ANNUAL #14, MARVEL GRAPHIC NOVEL #18: THE SENSATIONAL SHE-HULK and material from SECRET WARS II #2.
John Byrne has worked continuously in the comics industry as both writer and artist since 1975. After he initially collaborated with writer Chris Claremont on Iron Fist, Byrne and Claremont moved on to X-Men for a run still regarded as one of the title’s finest. Byrne contributed an equally famed stint on Fantastic Four, earning comparisons to the original Lee/Kirby issues for his imaginative plotlines and dynamic artwork. He also spun Alpha Flight into its own title. In 1986, he revamped DC’s flagship hero, Superman, reimagining the Man of Steel in a historic project heralded by a Time magazine cover. His remarkable contribution to the Marvel Universe extends to memorable associations with virtually every major hero, including celebrated runs on Captain America, Iron Man, Sensational She-Hulk, Namor the Sub-Mariner and Thing. In the 21st century, Byrne’s considerable body of work includes IDW’s Star Trek and Angel.
