Story Summary:
"Bang!"
Reed and Sue Richards face every parent’s nightmare as their son Franklin is abducted—by Mephisto himself. Meanwhile, the Thing is still away, and Johnny and Alicia are growing closer. Byrne ramps up the tension with the FF at their emotional and physical limits. With deep psychological stakes and demonic twists, this issue remains one of the darkest entries in Byrne’s influential run.
