A youthful, 21st-century reimagining of Marvel's iconic quartet! Threshold, Fountain, Magnificent Brute and Dreamcatcher. These incredible entities hold the key to a cosmic conflict that has raged for untold millennia - and that now embroils the Fantastic Four! Then the FF are pulled into a madman's scheme when those closest to them are drawn back through time. What awaits them in the year 1483 is a man with a quest to transform the world: the alchemist supreme, Diablo! Reed Richards' attempts to create a Cosmic Cube pierces the barriers of a hundred universes, and falling through the opening into our unsuspecting reality is the keeper of the Power Cosmic: the Silver Surfer! Plus: The Mole Man, Thanos, Agatha Harkness and the Salem's Seven! But when a group of X-Men from the future travel back in time, why do they want to assassinate the FF?!
