Honoring the reunion of Marvel's First Family, Fantastic Four #551 now features a previously unannounced variant cover by industry legend Art Adams. 

Continuing the critically acclaimed run by writer Dwayne McDuffie and artist Paul Pelletier, the Fantastic Four are confronted by a hero from twenty in the future, who has traveled back in time to stop the world's greatest threat.

The hero: Dr. Doom. The villain: Reed Richards. But just how could a man known for his devotion to philanthropy and justice cause the end of the world as we know it?

Critics and fans alike continue to praise the team of McDuffie and Pelletier, with Don MacPherson of EyeOnComics.Com gushing, "McDuffie is in the midst of one of the most fun Fantastic Four stints I've had the pleasure of reading, and he manages to pull off the impossible...Pelletier's art is a perfect match to the enthusiasm and bright, flashy super-hero action."

Why is Dr. Doom the Earth's last hope? And could he be right about Mr. Fantastic? The shocking answers to these questions and much, much more in Fantastic Four #551, now featuring a standard cover by Michael Turner and a variant by Art Adams.

Here is a look at the covers:
