FANTASTIC FOUR VOL 2 by Hickman and Eaglesham

Fantastic Four Vol 2 from Death Ray Comics
Written by JONATHAN HICKMAN
Penciled by DALE EAGLESHAM
Cover by ALAN DAVIS
Collecting FANTASTIC FOUR #575-578.

An older version of Franklin Richards travels from the future with an ominous warning for his younger sister Valeria: a conflict is approaching, a clash between four extraordinary cities. And now the Fantastic Four, humanity's premier explorers and imaginauts, launches a series of incredible adventures into four unique and bizarre lands.

Deep beneath the Earth's mantle, the remnant of a mad experiment gone awry begins to rise. From an ancient seascape, the last descendents of a lost kingdom make contact with mankind. In the fabled Blue Area of the moon, a king girds his people for war. And in the Negative Zone, strange and deadly creatures prepare for conquest.

Thrust into the center of this conflict are Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch and the Thing - a legendary family, a group of heroes sworn to protect humanity while expanding the limits of knowledge and adventure. Side-by-side with new allies and confronted with menacing foes, it's the Fantastic Four as they prepare for the War of the Four Cities!

Panel: Fantastic Four #575

IGN's Dan Phillips writes:
Pardon the cliche, but Jonathan Hickman has brought the fantastic back to the Fantastic Four ongoing. He's dialed the mad sci-fi high concepts to eleven, making the book crackle with the combination of inspired, intelligent lunacy and larger-than-life spectacles you rarely encounter outside of a Grant Morrison, Warren Ellis or Joe Casey comic. What's most impressive is that he's done so without sacrificing any of the family drama you expect from the title. This is the FF done right, something I haven't been able to say about the title in quite some time. Read the rest of his review here.
