PRIVATE LIVES/PUBLIC FACES Part 1 [of 1]
During any given week, the crises faced by New York’s first family of super heroes can range from the profoundly cosmic to the deeply personal. Today, in this stand-alone issue, an employee from Fantastic Enterprises will come to Susan Richards for help, claiming that her son is being abused. And Reed Richards will be asked to keep a promise he made to a dying man months ago. Great jumping on point!
