Fantastic Four: Life Story

Product Information

Altar the Speed: The Silver Surfer warns humanity that Galactus is coming, the end of the world will be in 10 years, and there's nothing they can do about it. Ben decides he doesn't have a second to lose, and proposes marriage to Alicia. Writer Mark Russell and artist Sean Izaakse are revisiting the Richards' family story like a great movie adaptation - taking the core elements and characters, and fashioning it into a new, stylistic way to bring out the core themes and perhaps some new resonance to the classic story. Invisibility might seem like the short straw in terms of their powers, but there are situations where it's immensely more valuable than the other powers. Plus, it allows you to get in your opponent's head in a way the other powers don't. Sue could be in the room, using her invisibility, or she could be somewhere else, doing something entirely different. Much like another Fantastic Four story that shows their progression through history, Franklin marries a Wakandan woman and wears a headband to regulate his powers. This difference is what powers he possesses. With the Doombots in place, Dr. Doom begins his conquest of Earth. When the world has no answer for Doom's might, the aging heroes join forces with the next generation, but will it be enough to stop him?

Russell: What I do never seems radical to me. It always seems like the natural approach in the world to a problem that I don't quite understand. As You Know: Reed being Reed, there's just no way he wouldn't know about the feat of Yuri Gagarin. JFK showing him a newspaper with it is more for the benefit of the reader, to establish the context. With Johnny gone, it's both tragic and fascinating that this version of the Fantastic Four will be without a key member when faced with the imminent threat of Galactus and his herald the Silver Surfer in the coming finale. The team was already at quite a rough spot when Johnny was around and now they will be without him as a moral center to turn to. As the world's most famous heroes head into the 1990s, it will be interesting to see exactly how the fragmented Fantastic Four will fare with the Human Torch as their greatest opponent yet looms in the cosmic tradewinds.

My God, What Have I Done?: While serving in the Korean War, Ben Grimm was horrified and guilt-ridden to learn that his bombing runs had destroyed villages and rendered Korean children orphans. He then got himself court-martialed by assaulting a commanding officer and taking the military's food rations to give them to the orphans. Adaptational Dumbass: While Victor Von Doom is still fairly intelligent, he relies on Reed to build his armor, something he'd always forged himself in other continuities. Russell: To me, it's a family story built on survivorship. They are coping with the fallout of a disaster that simultaneously derailed their lives and turned them into some of the most famous people on the planet. It's like they survived a plane crash and became the Beatles all on the same day. So, like it or not, they have no one to turn to but each other to make sense of their unique tragedy.

Russell: I want people to feel like they've read a book, not just about characters they love, but a generational story about a family and how they helped each other survive. Industrialized Evil: Doctor Doom proposed to the Silver Surfer his way of saving Earth from Galactus: he would rule the planet on Galactus's behalf, and under Doom's rule, he would establish an aggressive breeding program, allowing Galactus to consume five hundred million people every year, thereby satisfying Galactus's hunger far more than if he had consumed Earth on arrival. The Surfer describes Doom’s horrific plan “refreshing” because no other race he had encountered ever thought of this before, other than futilely begging Galactus to spare their worlds. Fortunately the Surfer doesn’t accept Doom as Galactus’s new herald to carry this out.
