When evidence surfaces that Galactus was behind the destruction of Krypton, Superman heads to the Marvel Universe for answers and enlists the aid of the Fantastic Four. But the devourer of worlds has another purpose in mind for Superman...
I bought this back in the day and decided to give it a reread in honor of the Fantastic Four's impending return. My feelings about it didn't change much in the past nineteen years.
Inter-company crossovers are a mixed bag. This one worked better than a lot of them. Dan Jurgens has a love for both properties so the crossover felt a lot more natural than it could have. The art has a nineties feel but not glaringly so. The old treasury edition size adds something, makes some of the cosmic shots have a little extra majesty.
The villain of the piece is a product of the time but is well used here, probably because Dan Jurgens created him, if I'm not mistaken. The conflict between Galactus and Superman went about as expected. I really liked that Superman was fictional in the Marvel Universe and Franklin Richards was a fan.
I wouldn't say Superman/Fantastic Four: The Infinite Destruction is an essential read or even an essential crossover read but it's still fun. Three out of five stars.

A fun premise that is slightly underserved by loose pencils and skipped panels. The oversized presentation works well within the context of this what if style story, which plays with all the familiar tropes of the Big Two’s iconic creations.
