BEN, YOU ALWAYS SAY THAT WHEN THE RAMPAGING MONSTERS

ARE BETTER-LOOKING THAN YOU!

DON'T YOU START WITH ME, MATCHSTICK!

IT'S YOUR FAULT THIS THING'S RUNNIN' AROUND OUT HERE!

MY FAULT?!

HOW DO YOU FIGURE THAT, ROCKS FOR BRAINS?

YOU'RE THE ONE STOMPING AROUND REED'S LAB IN YOUR SIZE 30s!

YOU DIDN'T SEE ME BREAKING ANY--

WHOA!

JONATHAN SPENCER STORM!

IS THERE SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE TO TELL ME?

NO! AND IT WASN'T MY FAULT.

YOU KNOW, WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

I SUSPECT YOUR SISTER IS REFERRING TO YOU TWO

ROUGHHOUSING NEAR THE INTER-DIMENSIONAL VIEWER.

YOU KNOW THERE'S SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT IN MY LAB!

SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT?

WAY TO PUT IT MILDLY, STRETCH!

IT'S TRULY INCREDIBLE TO THINK THAT --

REED!

BIG MONSTER, ABOUT TO EAT US?

REMEMBER? RIGHT, SORRY.

BY RE-ALIGNING THE CREATURE'S MOLECULAR CONFIGURATION,

IT SHOULD PHASE BACK TO ITS OWN REALITY.

AHHH, OUR ADORING PAPARAZZI.

COME ON.

[REPORTERS SHOUTING QUESTIONS]

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, SLOW DOWN!

WHAT ARE YOU VULTURES TALKING ABOUT?

YOU DON'T KNOW?

REED RICHARDS PURPOSEFULLY EXPOSED YOU TO COSMIC RAYS

AS PART OF AN EXPERIMENT.

IT'S ALL OVER THE WIRE.

HE WROTE ABOUT IT IN A JOURNAL.

THAT'S RIDICULOUS, REED WOULD NEVER WRITE SUCH A...

THING. REED?

Reporter: REPEATING THE DAY'S TOP STORY, A SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL

WRITTEN BY REED RICHARDS YEARS AGO HAS BEEN UNCOVERED,

RAISING SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS INVOLVEMENT IN THE ALLEGED ACCIDENT

THAT CREATED THE FANTASTIC FOUR.

THE JOURNAL CONTAINED THEORIES ON THE EFFECTS

OF COSMIC RAYS ON HUMANS

AND GOES ON TO DESCRIBE EXACTLY HOW TO EXPOSE HUMANS

TO THE MYSTERIOUS RAYS.

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, RIGHT?!

DOOM MESSED EVERYTHING UP WHILE WE WERE ON THE STATION, RIGHT?

TELL ME YOU DIDN'T WRITE THAT PAPER!

I DID PUBLISH A PAPER ON THE POSSIBLE

BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF COSMIC RAYS YEARS AGO.

NERD ALERT!

LET HIM FINISH, JOHNNY.

I THEORIZED THAT COSMIC RAYS MIGHT BE USED

AS A MASTER KEY TO MAMMALIAN GENETICS,

BUT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING IN IT ABOUT EXPERIMENTATION!

THAT PAPER IS WHAT PROMPTED ME

TO CREATE THE SHIELDING FOR THE MISSION.

BUT THE SHIELDS DIDN'T WORK.

BEN, COME ON!

YOU CAN'T THINK THAT I WOULD DO SUCH A THING!

I COULD NEVER HURT SUSAN, JOHNNY, OR YOU ON PURPOSE!

I NEED SOME AIR.

Susan: REED, JUST GIVE HIM SOME TIME.

HE'S RIGHT. THE SHIELDS DIDN'T WORK.

I DIDN'T PROTECT ANY OF YOU.

IT'S OKAY. WE'LL FIGURE THIS OUT.

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I KNOW I DIDN'T WRITE ABOUT THE SPACE STATION

IN THAT PAPER.

I MEAN, I COULDN'T HAVE.

THANKS FOR MY POWERS, DR. EVIL,

BUT I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE BEFORE YOU GROW ME

AN EXTRA HEAD OR SOMETHING.

JOHNNY, WAIT!

GO. TAKE CARE OF HIM. I'LL BE FINE.

[ELEVATOR BEEPING]

LOOK, I JUST FOUND OUT I'M A REALLY GOOD-LOOKING GUINEA PIG, AND I DON'T...

Man: HEY, MR. FANTASTIC!

Man #2: I WANT FISH POWERS!

WHOA.

ALL THE CRAZINESS IN THE CITY, IT STARTED WITH THEM.

MAYBE MR. FANTASTIC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT ALL!

THAT'S IT! FLAME ON!

JOHNNY, WILL YOU CALM DOWN?

YOU CAN'T BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU HEAR IN THE MEDIA!

YOU KNOW THAT!

THINK OF ALL THE WILD STORIES THEY'VE MADE UP ABOUT YOU!

UH, SIS,

MOST OF THOSE STORIES ABOUT ME ARE TRUE.

SO YOU'RE NOT HELPING REED'S CASE.

JOHNNY --

SUE, MY POWERS ARE THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.

BUT BEN, I MEAN, HE GOT REAL UGLY.

AND IF REED DID THIS TO US ON PURPOSE,

HOW CAN WE EVER TRUST HIM AGAIN?

THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING.

ALICIA. COULD REED HAVE DONE THIS TO ME PURPOSE?

I MEAN, I HAVE ALWAYS GIVEN HIM GRIEF

ABOUT BEIN' A MAD SCIENTIST,

BUT THIS?

HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE MY BEST FRIEND, FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD!

ALL DONE?

MAYBE.

FIRST OFF, BEN GRIMM, YOU ARE NO MONSTER.

YOU'RE THE BRAVEST, KINDEST PERSON I HAVE EVER MET.

AW, ALICIA.

LISTEN TO ME.

REED CARRIES SO MUCH GUILT OVER WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FOUR OF YOU.

ESPECIALLY YOU, BEN.

IF I CAN SEE THAT, WHY CAN'T YOU?

[SIGHS]

I KNOW. YOU'RE RIGHT.

STRETCH WOULD NEVER HURT ME ON PURPOSE,

WHICH MEANS SOMEONE'S MESSIN' WITH US.

HUH? ALICIA, GET DOWN!

BEN, WHAT IS IT? WHAT DO YOU SEE?

TROUBLE.

[SCREAMING]

[FOOTSTEPS]

AND HERE I THOUGHT REPORTERS WERE PUSHY!

WELL GUESS WHAT? I PUSH BACK!

I HAVEN'T BEEN ATTACKED BY AN EVIL ROBOT FOR DAYS!

LET'S SEE WHAT YOU'VE GOT!

WHO ARE YOU? WHO SENT YOU?

[STRAINING]

TOUGH GUY, ARE YA?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR DEAL IS, TIN CAN,

BUT THE KID GLOVES ARE OFF.

I TOLD YOU,

I'M DONE MESSING AROUND.

BEN?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

TALK TO ME!

BEN!

THIS IS ALL WRONG.

SOMEONE ALTERED MY ORIGINAL PAPER.

THESE ARE NOT MY WORDS.

SLOPPY.

WHOEVER IS ATTEMPTING TO FRAME ME SUPPLIED THE JOURNAL

AS A DIGITAL FILE TO THE MEDIA.

EASY ENOUGH TO TRACE, I JUST HAVE TO DIG A LITTLE --

ALERT. UNKNOWN CODE DETECTED.

ODD.

THERE'S A FOREIGN PROGRAM EMBEDDED IN THE FILE.

ALMOST LIKE A --

NO! HOW COULD I BE SO BLIND?

IT'S ALL BEEN A TRAP!

GREETINGS, RICHARDS.

DOOM!

YOU FORGED THE JOURNAL!

OF COURSE,

AND NOW THERE'S NO ONE HERE TO SAVE YOU.

LOUSY ROBOT.

MAKING ME LOOK BAD.

I'LL SHOW YOU.

Susan: BEN, WAKE UP!

WHAT? WHERE THE& ALICIA!

BEN, IT'S OKAY! I'M SURE ALICIA'S FINE.

THEY'RE AFTER US, NOT HER.

I'M RIGHT ACROSS FROM YOU.

THEY GOT JOHNNY, TOO.

AND REED ISN'T ANSWERING HIS COMMUNICATOR.

GET READY FOR A REMATCH, ROBOT.

'CAUSE THERE'S NEVER BEEN A JAIL MADE

THAT CAN HOLD THE HUMAN TORCH!

FLAME ON!

JOHNNY! JOHNNY!

HUH? ACID?

[HIGH-PITCHED TONE]

OOH, OW OW!

[JOHNNY COUGHING]

MAN,

I WISH REED WAS HERE.

ME, TOO.

ME THREE. OW.

[GROANING]

DID YOU THINK I WOULD COME UNPREPARED?

THOSE MANACLES ARE DESIGNED TO PRODUCE AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK

WHEN YOU ACCESS YOUR POWERS.

YOUR LITTLE INVENTIONS ARE QUITE AMUSING, RICHARDS.

GAUNTLETS DESIGNED TO HARNESS

EXTRA-DIMENSIONAL ENERGY --

I'M ALMOST IMPRESSED.

BUT THIS...

BEAUTIFUL, ISN'T IT?

I DISCOVERED THE EXISTENCE OF THIS NEGATIVE ZONE

YEARS BEFORE YOU STUMBLED UPON IT.

IT IS THE NEXUS POINT WHERE ALL UNIVERSES CONNECT,

PERHAPS WHERE ALL UNIVERSES BEGAN.

FITTING THEN THAT IT WILL BE YOUR END.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY FRIENDS?

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS, REMEMBER?

THEY BELIEVE YOU EXPERIMENTED ON THEM

LIKE THEY WERE LAB RATS.

YOU BETRAYED THEM.

NO! DOOM, STOP!

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!

QUITE THE CONTRARY,

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I AM DOING.

BY OVERLOADING YOUR QUAINT LITTLE VIEWER,

I AM CREATING A RIFT IN DIMENSIONAL SPACE

THAT WILL PULL YOU, THIS BUILDING,

AND A LARGE PORTION OF THIS CITY INTO THE NEGATIVE ZONE.

DOOM, NO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!

THOUSANDS OF LIVES WILL BE LOST!

I KNOW. AND YOU WILL BE BLAMED.

HISTORY WILL SEE REED RICHARDS

AS A BETRAYER...

AND A MADMAN.

BEN, STOP IT!

THE CELLS ARE DESIGNED TO COUNTER OUR POWERS.

LAST TIME I CHECKED, UGLY WASN'T A POWER.

IF YOU WANNA TRADE, THOUGH.

WE CAN'T FREE OURSELVES,

BUT MAYBE WE CAN FREE EACH OTHER!

GREAT, FREE ME FIRST. I'VE GOT PLANS TONIGHT.

JOHNNY, DO YOU REMEMBER THAT TIME

YOU MADE BEN'S SODA CAN EXPLODE JUST BY LOOKING AT IT?

HA HA! THAT WAS AWESOME!

IT WENT ALL OVER HIM!

ALL I DID WAS CONCENTRATE REALLY HARD ON THE --

OH, I GET IT.

I'M NOT FALLIN' FOR THAT ONE AGAIN.

[GASPS]

[BEN GRUNTS, LOUD THUD]

WELL, THAT WAS FUN.

NOW LET'S GET OUT--

HEY, THERE'S NO DOORS.

DOORS ARE FOR WIMPS.

[BEN GRUNTS]

WELL, I GUESS THAT ANSWERS WHO'S BEHIND ALL THIS.

DOOM MUST HAVE PLANTED THE JOURNAL.

HE WANTED US OUT OF THE WAY TO GO AFTER REED!

WE HAVE TO HELP HIM!

COME ON, FLAME BRAIN!

HANG ON! ALMOST DONE.

[PANICKED SCREAMS]

DOOM, YOU'VE GOT TO STOP THIS NOW!

IT'S TOO LATE, RICHARDS.

THIS TIME, YOUR PRECIOUS CITY

WILL NOT SURVIVE!

NEW YORK IS UNDER ATTACK!

MORE OF THE GIANT INSECT-LIKE ALIENS

ARE APPEARING THROUGHOUT THE CITY!

WHERE ARE THE FANTASTIC FOUR?

I HAVE TO CLOSE THE BREACH.

I WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR BETTER, RICHARDS!

YOU ALONE CAN NEVER HOPE TO DEFEAT DOOM!

YOU MAY BE RIGHT.

BUT YOU FORGOT ONE THING, DOOM.

UNLIKE YOU, I'M NOT ALONE.

IF YOU ATTACK ONE OF US, DOOM --

I TOTALLY MESSED UP THAT MASK OF YOURS.

YEAH!

AS I WAS SAYING,

IF YOU ATTACK ONE OF US, YOU ATTACK ALL OF US.

WAY TO RUIN IT, MATCHSTICK.

THEN YOU WILL PERISH TOGETHER!

Reed: JOHNNY!

WE'RE NOT FINISHED YET!

NOT BY A LONG SHOT!

YOU WILL PAY DEARLY FOR THIS,

YOU OAFISH GARGOYLE.

NONE MAY TOUCH DOOM!

YEAH, YEAH. NOW STAY THERE!

I'LL BEAT YOU UP MORE LATER.

REED!

YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT'S GOING ON OUTSIDE!

UNFORTUNATELY, I WOULD.

I'VE CLOSED THE BREACH, BUT THERE'S TOO MUCH

NEGATIVE ZONE ENERGY.

WE HAVE TO MANUALLY TRANSPOSE THE INSECTOID CREATURES,

INVERT THE EXTRA DIMENSIONAL FLUX AND --

SAVE THE WORLD? GOT IT.

[GRUNTS]

HANG ON!

Susan: DOOM'S ESCAPING!

LET'S GO AFTER HIM!

YOU GO AFTER DOOM. I'M GETTING OUT HERE.

YOU'RE WHAT?

DOOM, WAIT! YOU FORGOT SOMETHING!

THIS GIANT FIREBALL!

JOHNNY!

YEAH,

THERE'S MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM, DOOM.

EASY, STRETCH.

I GOT YOU.

I HOPE SOMEONE'S KEEPING TRACK

HOW MANY TIMES WE SAVE THE WORLD.

SEVEN. DR. RICHARDS!

WHAT HAPPENED HERE TODAY?

DID YOU CAUSE THIS DISASTER,

LIKE THE SPACE STATION INCIDENT?

THIS GUY JUST SAVED THE ENTIRE CITY,

AND THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT HIM?

FOR YOUR INFORMATION, DR. DOOM DID ALL THIS!

IT'S OKAY, BEN.

THE JOURNAL THAT'S BEEN LEAKED TO THE MEDIA

IS A FORGERY CREATED BY DOOM.

AND WHILE DOOM HAS DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY,

I CAN PROVE HIS INVOLVEMENT.

YEAH! REPORT THAT!

WE NEVER DOUBTED HIM FOR A MINUTE.

YEAH, WE TOTALLY KICKED DOOM'S TAIL.

YOU KNOW HE'S ALL TICKED ABOUT IT, TOO.

MARK MY WORDS, CRETINS!

MY VENGEANCE SHALL BE HUGE,

LIKE THE SIZE OF MY HEAD!

MY BRILLIANCE IS UNPARALLELED,

YET I ALWAYS LOSE!

FOR I AM DOOM!

WELL, THAT'S WHAT HE'S LIKE.

STRETCH, I'M SORRY.

I KNOW YOU'D NEVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT TO US.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO APOLOGIZE.

ALL THIS -- THE SHIELDS FAILING,

THE INSANITY THAT OUR LIVES HAVE BECOME --

IT'S ALL MY FAULT.

I'M THE ONE WHO'S SORRY.

FORGET IT, WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.

BUT IN THE FUTURE,

IF YOU COME UP WITH ANY MORE MAGIC DOORS

WITH GIANT ALIENS FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION BEHIND THEM,

LABEL IT.
