Ryan North and Humberto Ramos begin a new era for the Fantastic Four this July!
New York, NY— March 19, 2025 — This July, Marvel’s First Family will enter a bold new era in an all-new ongoing comic book series! Written by Ryan North (One World Under Doom, Fantastic Four) and drawn by artist Humberto Ramos (Spider-Boy,Strange Academy), the new comic series will test the strength of the Fantastic Four as they embark on adventures through time, space, science, and the human condition in a way we have never seen before.
Beginning during the events of One World Under Doom, also helmed by North, the Fantastic Four face Doom in a fight to save the world – until it suddenly goes catastrophically wrong, sending them to four different eras in Earth’s history! Alone and isolated in wildly different time periods, Reed, Johnny, Ben, and Sue all have to fight to survive. Their only hope is to reach the Forever Stone: a mass of dense granite that happens to be one of the longest-lasting rocks on the planet, which – through a combination of obscurity and raw geologic luck – has stayed both intact and accessible for most of Earth’s history.
“People often think of the FF in terms of family, and they’re not wrong, but I think there’s something really beautiful about friendship too, and we get to see that with these characters,” North shared with The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s high-concept science fiction with real emotion. What’s not to like?”
Following the currently acclaimed multi-year run wrapping this June, the new FANTASTIC FOUR series will begin with an extra-big, extra-special first issue, featuring shocking surprises and battles against the steepest odds, all brought to life by the incredible art of Humberto Ramos!
“I’ve been lucky to illustrate many of the most iconic superheroes in the universe, but this book felt different from the start,” shared Ramos. “The weight of history and legacy of these characters lay upon your shoulders, no matter who you are or how you’ve worked in this industry.”
Just ahead of Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps this July, this new series will be the perfect jumping on point for both new and longtime FF fans. Don’t miss the start of a new Fantastic Four saga, in comic shops everywhere this summer!
