As a long-time comic book enthusiast and avid Fantastic Four fan, I can’t help but feel a pang of unease as I read about the latest developments in their ongoing battle against the vampire invasion. The images of Mister Fantastic being stretched to his limits while protecting civilians from the bloodthirsty creatures are both grotesque and heart-wrenching, highlighting the dire situation they find themselves in.
In the thrilling comic book series of 2024, titled “Blood Hunt,” readers are invited on an exhilarating rollercoaster ride with high stakes and a tantalizing bite. The Marvel Universe is under siege as vampires have taken over, using Darkforce energy to obscure the sun and plunge Earth into permanent darkness. This shadowy realm allows the monsters to prey on the living unhindered. Dealing with bloodthirsty creatures during perpetual nighttime is challenging enough; however, Mister Fantastic, who has already been pushed past his limits by elasticity alone, faces even greater adversity in “Fantastic Four” #22 by Ryan North and Ivan Fiorelli.
Reed Richards, the Marvel hero and leader of the Fantastic Four, suffered a terrifying ordeal when vampires attacked him in “Fantastic Four” #21. The city was plunged into darkness, and the creatures sank their teeth into Reed, elongating his skin to alarming lengths. Instead of giving in to fear, Reed utilized his powers in an unprecedented way. He used his elastic body to shield countless civilians from the rampaging vampires while he searched for a cure. This tragic situation was transformed into an opportunity to save lives.
Regrettably, being a vampire comes with its drawbacks for Richards. Yes, having an elastic body is unusual, but what transpires when it’s overextended? The upcoming “Fantastic Four” #22 may shed light on this issue, but based on the early clues, things aren’t looking favorable for him.
Reed Richards gets stretched too far in Fantastic Four #22
In an exclusive sneak peek of “Fantastic Four” #22 by Looper, Reed Richards and Alicia Masters-Grimm believe they’ve found safety in Madison Square Garden, thinking the bright lights mimicking sunlight will protect them. Sadly, though, even this iconic stadium eventually falls into darkness, leaving the pair vulnerable to fear and danger.
As the fearsome beasts with sharp fangs prepare to attack the remaining survivors once more, weary Mr. Fantastic elongates his form to shield them. Yet, these creatures seem relentless in their pursuit of human flesh, and it appears that even Mister Fantastic’s unyielding body has met its match. Though the vampires cannot pierce his skin, the immense strain on his muscles creates a gaping wound, leaving him vulnerable to their bites and exposing him to the infected blood now covering the survivors. Despite his best efforts to turn his injuries away from the ravenous horde, Mr. Fantastic may still fall prey to the infection that has transformed countless souls into grotesque monsters.
It’s uncertain whether Reed will join the ranks of those lost in the vampire apocalypse or persevere against all odds when hope seems vanished. Only time will tell, but these images hint that our protagonist is in for a tough time, regardless of the outcome.
Where are the rest of the Fantastic Four?
The Fantastic Four have been kept apart due to the rampaging vampires, with Reed Richards working on a cure in New York. Meanwhile, Sue Storm, Ben Grimm, and Johnny Storm are currently at the Grimm farm in Arizona, where they’re trying to safeguard their loved ones against the disorderly vampire horde.
In issue #21 of “Fantastic Four,” Sue attempts to stop the Darkforce energy using her powers, but unfortunately, her efforts fail. Meanwhile, Grimm reassures his daughter N’Kalla that they will be saved by Mr. Fantastic. However, things take a turn for the worse as their farmhouse is under siege by vampires and Richards is pushed to his limits in Madison Square Garden. With the situation growing increasingly dire, Grimm may have to accept that they are in grave danger. The outcome will be revealed in “Fantastic Four” #22.
