Fantastic Four (2018) #47 and #48
Issue #47: "The Taking of Baxter 1-2-3-4 Part One"
As a tie-in to the A.X.E.: Judgment Day event, this issue begins with Reed Richards isolating himself in his Think Tank, seeking solutions to the looming judgment over the Marvel Universe. During this vulnerable time, Oubliette Midas, also known as the Exterminatrix, seizes the opportunity to infiltrate the Baxter Building. She sets a series of deadly traps, systematically incapacitating members of the Fantastic Four. The narrative focuses on the team's struggle against these meticulously planned assaults, highlighting their resilience and unity in the face of orchestrated chaos.
Issue #48: "The Taking of Baxter 1-2-3-4 Part Two: Invisible Women"
Continuing directly from the previous issue, the spotlight shifts to the Invisible Woman, Sue Storm. Trapped alone within the Baxter Building, Sue must navigate 35 floors rigged with lethal traps set by Oubliette Midas. Her mission is to reach and rescue her husband, Reed Richards, who is at risk of becoming a pawn in Oubliette's interdimensional war schemes. The issue showcases Sue's determination, intelligence, and combat prowess as she confronts Oubliette. Simultaneously, the Thing and the Human Torch endeavor to free themselves from Oubliette's machinations. The climax underscores the team's unyielding spirit and their commitment to protecting one another, even under dire circumstances
Takeaway
The thematic heart of Fantastic Four #47–48 lies in showcasing Sue Storm's evolution into the team’s unsung leader and protector, while also reinforcing the importance of unity, resilience, and personal agency in the face of overwhelming odds. These issues serve as a fitting prelude to the finale of this long-running volume by re-centering the Fantastic Four's core values: family, ingenuity, and hope.
Fantastic Four (2018) #48 is the final issue of this volume. The series, which began in August 2018, concluded with this issue in October 2022. This finale wraps up the ongoing storylines and sets the stage for future adventures of Marvel's First Family.
