Fantastic Four, Vol. 3 – Issue 538

Johnny is still in the hospital, and Ben takes the first shift in keeping him entertained to aid his recovery. He keeps him up to date on the progress of Thor’s hammer, still sitting in the Oklahoma desert. When his shift ends, he finds himself on Yancy Street, talking down the agitated locals to let law enforcement through to do their jobs. He hasn’t decided which side of the debate he’s on. Meanwhile, someone with the initials “D.B.” arrives in Oklahoma and takes Thor’s hammer without resistance or hesitation.
