Plot

Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus and his enigmatic herald, then Silver Surfer. And if Galactus' plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren't bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal.
