Marvel Comics is Bringing Back FANTASTIC FOUR!

View fullsize

In 2015 Marvel Comics brought an end to Fantastic Four, which was one of its longest continuous comic series ever. It was a big surprise, but it happened around the time when Fox was going to release that terrible Fantastic Four film. I heard rumors that the reason Marvel canceled the comic series was to stick it to Fox because they were going through some tense times. But regardless of what the reason was, Marvel brought it to an end. 

Marvel Comics has now revealed that they are officially bringing Fantastic Four back in a new ongoing series! I guess now that Disney is buying Fox, they feel it's okay to bring Marvel's first family back together. If we ever do see a new Fantastic Four movie, it's going to come from Marvel Studios next time. It only makes sense that they'd want a Fantastic Four comic to help in their marketing efforts.

The comic will be written by Dan Slott, with art by Sara Pichelli. The new Fantastic Four book will bring Reed and Sue back to Earth, reuniting the team for the first time since Secret Wars. Fantastic Four #1 launches this August.
