"Beyond the Pale!"
The Fantastic Four have returned from the moon minus one member. Crystal has agreed to remain on the moon with her husband. Now it's time to turn their attention to the Negative Zone, but Doctor Doom has a proposal that the FF ignores. Doom distracts the FF and rushes into the Negative Zone as the FF get ready to do the same. Once inside, the FF come under attack by Blastaar, who is defeated only with the help of Doom. The FF form a tentative alliance with Doom, but for how long?
**Spoiler**
Alicia Masters has been replaced by the Skrull Lyja.
