Well, in typical Fantastic Four fashion . . things take an incredible turn for the worse . . before they get better. Reed's old girlfriend, Alyssa Castle and her husband, have created, in a parallel dimension, Nu-world. It's going to be an exact replica of Earth, except for the armaments and weapons, so when something happens to our world, everyone will have a place to go. To me, it seems like an awfully big gamble for something that may or may not happen. Unless . . they know something we don't. Anyways, Alyssa doesn't want to leave her Nu-world completely unprotected, so she also built a giant robot that she calls CAP . . Conserve and Protect. It's programmed to seek out any threats to it's world's new life and eliminate them. The problem? It's broke out of it containment cell, and has found it's way to our Earth. If there's something that we'll never have a shortage of . . it's threats to our existence. Starting with an Air-Force base in Alaska, this thing appears to be on a world-wide "seek and destroy" mission. They've contacted SHIELD, and they sent some of their best and brightest, but . . they've had little or no effect. So I'm not sure what Sue, Johnny and Ben think they can do. On the final page of this issue, Reed is on his was back from a mission in another galaxy. "Here he comes . . to save the day!" Mark Millar writes this, so you know there's no shortage of great ideas here. In fact, if anything, he may be throwing so much stuff at us that we don't know everything that's going on . . quite yet. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Bryan Hitch does the art for this story-arc. It's amazing. He really packs a lot of stuff in to every page. Right now, this book is really living up to it's name.
