Solicitation:
Everyone's favorite Teen Team of Gen-Actives meets up with Marvel's First Family in this wild and wacky one-shot by fan-favorite Kevin Maguire. Co-published with Marvel Comics.

WildStorm's next generation of heroes meets Marvel Comics' first family in GEN13/FANTASTIC FOUR, a wild and wacky Prestige Format one-shot written and drawn by fan-favorite Kevin Maguire (X-Men Forever) with inks by Karl Story (BATMAN).

Set during Gen13's time in New York, the teen heroes cross paths with the Fantastic Four — though not on the friendliest of terms. Roxy's pet, the lovable, interdimensional furball known as Qeelocke, has grown one hell of a mean streak, heading into the streets on a monstrous rampage. The Human Torch is able to subdue him (with a little help from a certain web-slinger), and takes him into custody at FF headquarters. When Roxy comes looking for her little friend, a smitten Johnny Storm is all too happy to help. This one small act of friendship brings the two teams together, setting the stage for a confrontation that no fan should dare miss!



SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT!
Synopsis
Gen 13 visited New York City, but decided to leave their pet Qeelocke in their hotel room while they went site-seeing. When a bizarre creature entered Earth's dimension in the Atlantic Ocean, Qeelocke sensed it and began to act violently. Later, Gen 13 returned to find that Qeelocke had busted out of the room and gone on a rampage, and had also begun to grow. While they were out killing their evening, Spider-Man and the Human Torch came across Qeelocke, and, not knowing what it was, captured it. Torch told Spider-Man to bring it to the Baxter Building. As he flew back there, the Torch caught the attention of Freefal, who mistook him for her teammate Burnout.

After Spider-Man delivered the still-growing Qeelocke to the Fantastic Four, the team went to investigate the new creature that was seen in the ocean. Gen 13 realized that the Fantastic Four were holding Qeelocke and Freefall went to the Baxter Building to talk to the Torch. When the Torch explained that Qeelocke was growing and violent, Freefall flew through the building looking for him. When she did, the rest of her team, who had followed her, arrived and confronted the Thing and Torch, and fought them while trying to free their pet.

Before things could go too horribly wrong, Mr. Fantastic arrived and settled things down, but just as he did, the other creature made its way on to land. Qeelocke broke free and in its frenzied state, went to meet the other creature. Mr. Fantastic theorized that the two now-gigantic creatures must be mortal enemies and were tracking each other down by instinct. This proved to be quite incorrect when the two monsters finally confronted each other and, instead of fighting, began to mate. When they were finished, the other creature disappeared, apparently back to its original dimension, while Qeelocke returned to its normal size and attitude. The two teams, somewhat embarrased over the situation, parted ways.
