Marvel Comics

Jonathan Hickman's Fantastic Four run established his Marvel career's defining mode — massive, architecturally complex narratives with years-long payoffs, introduced through the Council of Reeds (alternate universe versions of Reed Richards who had solved every problem and abandoned their families) and the War of Four Cities that pitted the Kree, the Inhumans, the High Evolutionary's creations, and the Kree's counter-faction against each other simultaneously. This is Hickman operating at maximum ambition before the Avengers work that followed.
