In Fantastic Four: Full Circle, Alex revisits a classic Stan Lee–Jack Kirby comic from the 1960s and introduces the storyline for a new generation of readers.”įantastic Four: Full Circle will feature a large format in order to fully showcase the stunning artwork of Alex Ross and to mirror the 1980s Marvel Graphic Novel format. “Alex and I have been working together for close to 30 years, when I was an editor at DC Comics and hired him to paint his very first book cover back in 1993, before Marvels was published.

Kochman briefly teased what readers can expect in the graphic novel: I’m excited to share this work with everyone, as it unites the two great publishing forces of Marvel and Abrams ComicArts in a bold new collaboration.”Ĭharles Kochman, Ross’s longtime editor and editorial director of Abrams ComicArts, will edit Fantastic Four: Full Circle alongside Marvel VP of Publishing and longtime editor of the Fantastic Four ongoing comic series, Tom Breevort. “This is the Fantastic Four story I have been wanting to tell for years, and visually it is one of the greatest artistic experiments I have attempted. Not surprisingly, Ross described the project as a dream come true for him: The Fantastic Four have no choice but to journey into the Negative Zone, an alien universe composed entirely of anti-matter, risking not just their own lives but the fate of the cosmos! But for what purpose? And who is behind this untimely invasion? These carrion creatures composed of Negative Energy come to Earth using a human host as a delivery system. When an intruder suddenly appears inside the Baxter Building, the Fantastic Four-Mister Fantastic (Reed Richards), the Invisible Woman (Susan Storm Richards), the Human Torch (Johnny Storm), and the Thing (Ben Grimm)-find themselves surrounded by a swarm of invading parasites. It’s a rainy night in Manhattan, and not a creature is stirring except for. Here’s how Abrams describes the Fantastic Four: Full Circle graphic novel: It will be interesting to see if Ross was able to incorporate some of the ideas and designs into this new graphic novel. Fans may recall in his Marvelocityart book a few years ago that Ross revealed designs for a failed reboot pitch for the Fantastic Four.
