It’s Grant Morrison: Fantastic Four: 1234
If a comic hero or team has a run written by legendary writer Grant Morrison, I will be recommending it. The author who has given us the best X-Men and Superman stories ever also did a short stint with the Fantastic Four, and it’s just as good and unexpected as you’d imagine.
Fantastic Four: 1234 is essentially a story about Doctor Doom acting as the devil on the shoulder of the titular team. Over four issues, Doom tempts each member of the Fantastic Four with their desires or sabotages their lives. That isn’t that hard considering Morrison writes the team with a lot of baggage under their seemingly happy relationships. It’s a great dismantling of Marvel’s first family that could only be done by Morrison.
