It’s a treasure trove of FF classics, courtesy of the Marvel
Masterworks! First comes a battle of the sexes as the FF find themselves
in the midst of the fight between Femizons and Mahkizmo the Nuclear
Man. Then, the Silver Surfer returns with a vengeance! The Machiavellian
Dr. Doom has captured the Surfer’s beloved Shalla-Bal and used her to
turn him against the FF. And that’s just the warm up!
The FF and
Inhumans team up against Xemu, the Invisible Girl returns to the fold,
and Arkon the Annihilator initiates an adventure featuring an
inter-dimensional alternate Thing. Topped off with a giant-size battle
against the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the first appearance of
Madrox the Multiple Man, they’re Masterworks one and all!
