Reed Richards’ desperate attempt to cure his friend Ben Grimm — the Thing — goes horribly awry when an experimental breach tears open a portal to an adjacent universe. From that rift emerges the Squadron Supreme: a powerful, unfamiliar team whose arrival forces Marvel’s First Family to confront not only mirror-image counterparts of heroism, but conflicting philosophies that threaten the balance of both worlds. What began as a mission of mercy becomes a collision of ideals and raw might, with consequences that will test Reed’s genius, Ben’s resilience, and the fate of the realities caught between them.
