Marvel Unveils Covers for Fantastic Four #1 Ahead of July Release

New York, NY— May 23, 2025 — Marvel Comics has revealed all 13 covers for the highly anticipated Fantastic Four #1, set for release on July 9. Written by Ryan North and illustrated by Humberto Ramos, this new issue marks the start of an exciting era for the superhero team.

The storyline begins with Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny being scattered across time by their nemesis, Doctor Doom. This fresh volume serves not only as a continuation of North’s work but also as an excellent entry point for new readers who want to dive into one of Marvel’s most beloved series.

“I still want each issue to stand alone, and I want every issue to be a place for someone to jump on and get a fully satisfying story,” North explained in a recent interview. He added, “I am turning the dial a little bit more towards larger and crazier stories.” The writer promises a blend of individual and connected tales that maintain reader engagement.

The release of Fantastic Four #1 comes just weeks ahead of the film The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is scheduled to hit theaters on July 25. This timing is prime for both comic book and movie fans excited about the new adventures of Marvel’s First Family.

The main cover features artwork from Humberto Ramos, with an array of variant covers contributed by notable artists including Alex Ross, Alan Davis, and Cliff Chiang, among others. Special variants include a Foil Variant by Mahmud Asrar and a Wraparound Variant by Claudio Castellini.

As the Fantastic Four navigate various eras in Earth’s history, they must use their unique talents to survive and reunite. “When the Fantastic Four take on Doom, things go well until they go catastrophically wrong,” a Marvel representative stated, emphasizing the stakes involved in this new storyline.

Fans are encouraged to preorder Fantastic Four #1 at local comic shops and explore the additional Marvel Rivals Variant Covers spotlighting artwork inspired by the upcoming video game from NetEase Games. This blend of comic storytelling and engaging artwork ensures that the new series will capture the attention of both long-time fans and newcomers alike.
