Review/plot:
SHIELD asks the Fantastic Four (with Frankie) to investigate a strange energy reading in Wakanda. It's said that SHIELD has no authority in Wakanda, and the Black Panther "has evidently relinquished his status as an Avenger", so SHIELD came to FF due to their ties with the Black Panther. That and they wanted to question them on the relocation of the Inhumans' city from last issue.

The FF make contact with the Black Panther...

...and head to the source, which turns out to be a city inside a volcano...

...run by an ancient Roman soldier made immortal by alien technology that gives him reality-altering powers.

Always fun stories with great art by Byrne.

Quality Rating: B
