ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #47 (December, 2007)
By Mike Carey & Mark Brooks

APPEARANCES:
Human Torch, Invisible Woman, Mr. Fantastic, Thing, Dr. Franklin Storm, Gen. Ross, Dr. Ivan Kragoff, Julia Kragoff, Sorba Rutskaya, Misha, Crimson Dynamo (Valentin Shatalov), Thanos

SYNOPSIS:
Mr. Fantastic is obsessed with finishing the cosmic cube; the rest of the Fantastic Four and Dr. Storm are worried, but Gen. Ross thinks it’s great. Ivan Kragoff invites Reed and Sue to a symposium in Russia; Reed refuses and Sue goes. Meanwhile in Siberia, Crimson Dynamo is activated. Reed competes the cosmic cube; Thanos thanks him and leaves Reed’s mind. Sue’s plane is shot down in Siberia.

NOTE:
The Crimson Dynamo appearing here predates the Crimson Dynamo seen in ULTS2 11-13.

This issue reveals that Thanos was present in Reed’s mind since ULTFF 42. I thought the Thanos image on the last page of ULTFF 42 was symbolic, but this issue reveals otherwise. That means Thanos is BTS in all of Reed’s appearances since, when he’s working on the cosmic cube (finally called that this issue).

ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #48 (January, 2008)
By Mike Carey & Mark Brooks

APPEARANCES:
Human Torch, Invisible Woman, Mr. Fantastic, Thing, Dr. Franklin Storm, Dr. Ivan Kragoff, Julia Kragoff, Sorba Rutskaya, Misha, Crimson Dynamo, Hammer & Anvil, Titanium Man, 2 unnamed others

SYNOPSIS:
The Fantastic Four search for Sue in Siberia and are attacked by Crimson Dynamo. Meanwhile, Kragoff plans to fuse Sue with his wife to resurrect his wife, essentially killing Sue. Kragoff’s assistant Sorba kills Kragoff and prepares to fuse herself with Sue to gain her powers. Meanwhile, Crimson Dynamo surrenders and says he can lad the Fantastic Four to Sue. When they arrive, they’re attacked by other armored Russian super soldiers. Sue wakes up and gets out of the way and Sorba is fused with animal samples; she’s turned into a monster that can phase through objects and attacks Sue.

ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #49 (February, 2008)
By Mike Carey & Mark Brooks

APPEARANCES:
Human Torch, Invisible Woman, Mr. Fantastic, Thing, Sorba Rutskaya, Misha, Crimson Dynamo, Hammer & Anvil, Titanium Man, 2 unnamed others; Dreamcatcher, Grail Fountain, Magnificent Brute, Threshold, Vykni (prev 5 bts, revealed next issue)

SYNOPSIS:
The Fantastic Four defeat the armored Russian super soldiers and join Sue in fighting Sorba. The Russian’s armors self-destruct (except Crimson Dynamo’s) and the Fantastic Four escape. Reed apologizes to Sue for treating her like garbage, but she says it’s time for them to take a break in their relationship. When they return home they find New York City encased in a giant energy cube.

ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #50 (March, 2008)
By Mike Carey & Tyler Kirkham

APPEARANCES:
Human Torch, Invisible Woman, Mr. Fantastic, Thing, Thanos, Accuser Ronan, Dreamcatcher, Grail Fountain, Magnificent Brute, Threshold, Vykni, Keris, Tesseract, Echo, Glow, Amp, Granite Phantom

SYNOPSIS:
The Mr. Fantastic uses his connection with the cosmic cube to enter New York City. When the Fantastic Four enter the Baxter Building they discover Seed Nineteen tried to take the cube, so the cube encased New York City and froze time inside the barrier. Seed Ninteen tries to explain that everyone will try to retrieve the cube but it’s too late. Keris (commander of another seed unit) sends his own seed unit to get the cube, but Reed uses the cube to send them away. Keris uses his space fleet to attack the cube; when that doesn’t work, he uses his fleet to pick up the barrier (and New York City inside it).

ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #51 (April, 2008)
By Mike Carey & Tyler Kirkham

APPEARANCES:
Human Torch, Invisible Woman, Mr. Fantastic, Thing, Keris, Tesseract, Mauler (bts), Nightmare (bts), Gehenna (bts), Thanos, Accuser Ronan, Atrea

SYNOPSIS:
Keris hauls New York City into space, but Thanos’ fleet steal it and transports the city to his home planet in his home reality. Thanos attacks with his army and Thing is transported somewhere else. Thinking Thing is dead, Reed kills some of Thanos’ army with the cosmic cube. Thanos challenges Reed one-on-one and wins, obtaining the cosmic cube.

ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #52 (May, 2008)
By Mike Carey & Tyler Kirkham

APPEARANCES:
Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Quicksilver, Wasp, Thanos (also in fb), Human Torch, Invisible Woman, Thing, Atrea, Gallowglass (in fb), Accuser Ronan, Captain Marvel, Namor, Moon Knight, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Spider-Man, Daredevil, Shang-Chi, Hulk, shadowed others, Mr. Fantastic

FLASHBACK:
Thousands of years ago, Thanos used the cosmic cube to enslave worlds. Leter, Thanos is resurrected after he died (again).
SYNOPSIS:
Thanos returns to Earth with the enslaved Human Torch and Invisible Woman, and they attack the Ultimates. Meanwhile, Atrea, Thanos’ daughter, tells Thing about Thanos. Thanos uses the cosmic cube to rearrange Earth’s continents and turn the oceans into stone and enslaves Earth’s super humans.

NOTE:
An editor’s note says this issue happens before Ultimates 3 #1. I can see why; Scarlet Witch appears here, and she’s killed in ULTS3 1.

ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #53 (June, 2008)
By Mike Carey & Tyler Kirkham

APPEARANCES:
Thanos (also as past version), Human Torch, Invisible Woman, Falcon, Wasp, Hulk, Spider-Man, Namor, Moon Knight, Shang-Chi, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, Quicksilver, Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Daredevil, shadowed others, Accuser Ronan, Atrea, Thing, Mr. Fantastic

SYNOPSIS:
Thanos sends Earth’s enslaved heroes to attack other worlds in his home reality. Atrea revives Mr. Fantastic and they attack Thanos. Reed alters the cosmic cube (he turns the safety off, basically) and Thanos, daydreaming about death, accidentally kills himself. Reed uses the cosmic cube to restore Earth and the worlds the enslaved heroes attacked, then sends the cosmic cube back in time thirty thousand years and across realities so Thanos can find it for the first time.

NOTE:
As noted above, these issues take place before ULTS3 1-5. Most of these issues were published after Ultimate Power, so the break looks to be between ULTFF 46-47 for that mini to take place.
