Conclusion of the Shaper arc
The reality-warped, 1950s-obsessed world reaches a breaking point as the FF, split into rival “Wild Ones” and “Patriots,” close in on the mysterious Brain and his doomsday Warhead. Reed breaks the brainwashing, reunites the team, and uncovers the truth: the cosmic Shaper of Worlds has been amplifying the nostalgic fantasies of aging biker Slugger “Wild One” Johnson, reshaping reality to match his dream of a simpler past. Confronted with the cost of freezing the present in yesterday’s image, Johnson relents; the Shaper restores normal reality and departs with Johnson to craft new dreams elsewhere, leaving the FF—and New York—back to normal.
