Fantastic Four #9

(W) Ryan North (A) Humberto Ramos

GALACTUS FACES THE MALICE OF THE INVINCIBLE WOMAN! The Fantastic Four have voyaged into new and unknown parts of the universe to save Galactus — but found only ruin at the hands of the Invincible Woman. And now, lost on an alien world, they must face her… alone. But even with all their powers combined, it may not — cannot — stand against her malice. Meanwhile, on Earth, things aren’t going much better — as, without the Fantastic Four to defend it, our world is viewed with envious eyes by intellects vast, cool and unsympathetic… But there may be just one final hope that could save them… or doom them all.

Fantastic Four #8

(W) Ryan North (A) Humberto Ramos

It’s back before everything changed, and I’m still in grad school — just a kid, really. My name is Susan Storm, and I’ve just become the Invisible Girl. Our first encounter was with the Mole Man — he was the first time we found it necessary to use our powers, to truly become the Fantastic Four. Reed prayed it would be the last. But his prayers weren’t the kind that got answered. What happened next wasn’t what I thought would happen — it wasn’t what any of us thought would happen. I want you to know that I tried. I really did. I didn’t mean for things to end up the way they turned out. But there are some mistakes you can’t take back. And there are some wounds that don’t kill you, even though they should…

Doom Homage Variant Covers Glorify Marvel’s Greatest Supervillain!

Posted on by

No supervillain has impacted the Marvel mythos more than Doctor DOom! Now, in the wake of his global takeover in One World Under Doom, top Marvel artists will pay tribute to his epic publication history this March in new Doom Homage Variant Covers.

Across twenty one covers, see new takes on classic Doom covers from the original Secret Wars to unforgettable showdowns with the Fantastic Four, the Avengers and the X-Men to more recent standouts. Each cover captures Victor von Doom’s incredible aura by putting bold and modern twists on the original artwork and reimagining various heroes inside his iconic armor. The classic cover being homaged will be presented on the back cover.

Doom’s reign may be over, but his legacy looms large over the Marvel Universe. The new Dungeons of Doom limited series, launched earlier this month, exposes the maniacal genius’ darkest secrets as forces race to control the power and technology he left behind. His fall is also key to the latest arc of Chip Zdarsky’s Captain America run which finds Doom’s kingdom of Latveria on the brink of civil war, and Cap, accompanied by the all-new S.H.I.E.L.D., deployed on a mission to maintain peace.
