The Invisible Girl takes her first tip into the Negative Zone along with the rest of the Fantastic Four, leaving her son, Franklin Richards, in Alicia Masters' care. No sooner has the FF's exploratory module crossed over into the antimatter universe via Mister Fantastic's new portal, when Annihilus emerges from the same portal and destroys it behind him. Alicia investigates to discover Annihilus in the Baxter Building...
The FF emerge from the explorer on a world where a city, Ootah, forced the very people who built it to abandon it in fear, believing it to be alive. The team interrupt the sacrifice of one of the shanty town's own people to the city, fighting past its defences and destroying its 'brain' when they realise Ootah was truly alive and they've murdered it. Back in the positive matter universe, Annihilus takes Alicia and Franklin prisoner.
The Fantastic Four try to help a race of beings, the Kestorans, who have spent centuries searching the Negative Zone for a new world to live on, only to discover they've acclimatised to their ship, the cryogenically frozen citizens are dead and the last of their kind are destines to wander that universe forever.
Fantastic Four #254
After months in the Negative Zone, the Fantastic Four stop off on the world called Mantacora where Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Girl finally have some 'husband and wife time' until they're captured by Taranith Gelstal's people. Gelstal attaches Mister Fantastic to a machine that uses intellect to charge up his ship, revealing himself to be an alien on that world disguised as the true Taranith Gelstal. By the time the rest of the Fantastic Four break free and get to him, Mister Fantastic's body is brain dead. Back on Earth, people are running in fear from the Baxter Building and She-Hulk and Wasp discover a growing invisible barrier in Manhattan...
The Wasp offers Eros of Titan a place on the Avengers, giving him the codename Starfox and sending him on his first assignment with Thor and Captain Marvel to save a naval task force from an attack the the Plant-Man. Captain America and the Wasp confront Tony Stark over his drinking and learns there's someone new the the Iron Man armour. Later, the Wasp agrees to help She-Hulk find a new apartment only to discover a growing invisible barrier in Manhattan...
Fantastic Four #255
Daredevil detects the barrier and realises it's only stopping physical matter. Annihilus reveals his true face to Alicia and the news that he's rapidly ageing with his Cosmic Control Rod. His plan to is expand his null field from the Baxter Building and follow it up with a second field that, when it connects with the null field, will destroy both the positive and negative universes. In the Negative Zone, Mister Fantastic's uploaded mind takes over Gelstal's ship. Gelstal uses an escape pod which explodes. But the FF' realise their way back home is destroyed and they're stranded...
Fantastic Four #256
Mister Fantastic uses a helmet linked to Gelstal's ship to operate his human body, learns of the null field and theorises Annihilus is behind the destruction of the portal. Over the next twelve days, he creates means of transposing the Fantastic Four with Annihilus, explosively undoing the effect of the null field in Manhattan. Annihilus returns to the Negative Zone and falls to his apparent death.
As a side effect of the jump, the Fantastic Four's uniforms become negative versions. The Thing discovers Alica Masters beaten and traumatised. Mister Fantastic places the injured Vision in a regenerative pod, then accompanies the Invisible Woman as they take the injured Franklin Richards to hospital. In space, Nova suggests Galactus consume the inhabited Skrull Throne-World before his hunger kills him.
Avengers #233
At the same time as the Fantastic Four try to jump back home to the positive matter universe, the Avengers try to combat the null field. Thor loses his hammer, Mjolnir, to the field and the Vision passes through, only to shut down. Starfox realises the field is coming from the Baxter Building and Annihilus announces his intent to destroy two universe. Captain Marvel transforms to gamma rays to travel through the field and into the FF's headquarters, inadvertently breaking the field at the same time the FF return home. The Vision remains inert and Mister Fantastic places him in a pod, allowing his self-repair systems to do the rest.

The Thing comes to the conclusion that their leader will disband the Fantastic Four...
Fantastic Four #257
