The Flash #34

(W) Ryan North (A) Gavin Guidry

GORILLAS ATTACK! Mr. Terrific is helping Wally understand the new superpower he’s been experiencing and has come up with a way to test it. But when that results in the Flash seeing a vision of a dark future — okay, maybe not that dark but at least “concerning” — Central City overrun by a Gorilla Army! — he knows precisely where he needs to go to stop it. Can one man, even if he is objectively pretty fast, survive in the middle of enemy territory when all those enemies are really strong, super-intelligent gorillas? You’ll find out in this issue! Plus: It all leads to a second experiment, with even greater consequences!

Comic book cover featuring The Flash and a gorilla in a dramatic confrontation, with the title 'The Flash: Paths of Destruction' prominently displayed. The design includes action poses of both characters and a colorful, dynamic background.
A comic book scene set in a cafe with various characters engaged in conversation. One character discusses time travel and predictive algorithms with another, while people are seen eating and working in the background.
A comic panel featuring a discussion among four characters at a table, with a futuristic city hologram in the background and various dishes on the table. The characters are engaged in a conversation about data, predictions, and speed-related abilities.
A comic book page featuring a superhero in a vibrant orange suit, running in a city street with an energy trail behind him. Text boxes provide dialogue and thoughts about science and data gathering, along with humorous commentary.
A chaotic urban scene featuring a group of gorilla-like creatures wearing armor, shouting battle cries. In the background, soldiers in tactical gear appear to be retreating while a large robot looms ominously. The setting includes tall buildings and greenery, capturing the tension of the confrontation.

Fantastic Four #12

(W) Ryan North (A) Pat Boutin

Aliens have invaded Earth and been rebuffed by the Fantastic Four many a time before, and finally, one of them got wise and invaded Earth where the FF couldn’t defend it: They’re attacking our world in the past, in ANCIENT ROME. Johnny and Reed are the only two who make it back in time before all of history is erased, but it’s okay! As long as they can defend Earth, push the aliens back AND reset history to how it once was, everything should be fine, right? Good thing that, when left alone, Johnny and Reed don’t get into ANY sort of problems on the regular. Plus: Reed stretches in a new way in this one! He does that in a lot of our issues, but this one is particularly fun.

Doomquest #1

(W) Ryan North (A) Francesco Mobili

Doctor Victor Von Doom is a great scientist, an unparalleled sorcerer, and the ruler of his own nation. He is, by any measure, a great man. And yet Doom wants more. And when Reed Richards — Mister Fantastic, his greatest enemy and eternal rival — is showcased at a prestigious international event to which Doom wasn’t even invited, Doom is outraged.

Reed shares his plan for his eventual retirement project: the total optimization of history. He intends to go back in time, to all the eras humanity wasted on war and conflict, and fix them, saving trillions of lives and ensuring humanity can achieve its greatest and final glory. The idea of Reed rewriting history in his own image is, of course, antithetical to Doom, and so he decides to do it before Reed does. But when the Fantastic Four intervene, Doom finds himself in a battle he never intended — across all of time and space!

The Flash #33

(W) Ryan North (A) Gavin Guidry

Someone has hidden a nuke in Central City, and the Flash has minutes to find it before it goes off! Just one problem: Wally’s already checked everywhere. In fact, he’s actually been checking everywhere over and over for days due to the “putting yourself in danger” trend that’s been making his life a huge pain! But if the Flash can’t find the bomb alone, at least he’s got the help of his brilliant wife Linda, along with the aid of… Captain Cold? That can’t be right — can it? The clock is ticking. Plus: Wally’s mysterious Flashes of Insight escalate!

INTRODUCING THE NEW FUTURE FOUNDATION! The Invincible Woman has been defeated… but what comes next? And how can the Fantastic Four be ready for it, especially when they can’t actually agree on what the future looks like? And to make matters worse, Doom’s technology is now making its way into the world at large — including into the hands of two-bit criminals who are wholly unprepared for its awesome might! PLUS: The Future Foundation makes its return — as does a two-story A.I.M. plot of destruction from years ago! And all this happens as the Fantastic Four have their hands full… with the return of THE CRIMEASAURUS REX!

Fantastic Four #10

(W) Ryan North (A) Humberto Ramos

THE INVINCIBLE WOMAN: FINALE! The Invincible Woman has made it to Earth, which is already fending off an invasion it can’t win. If humanity doesn’t win this fight, it won’t win any of them ever again. There’s still the tiniest sliver of hope — if the Fantastic Four and S.H.I.E.L.D. can work together. But will it even be enough? And if the Invincible Woman can best even Susan Storm, then who can stand against her malice? Will Earth survive? Will Galactus? And if they do — at what cost? The big finale of the Invincible Woman arc — it all ends here with a bang!
