Fantastic Four #16

(W) Ryan North (A) Ramón Rosanas

CRASH LANDING! The Fantastic Four have crash-landed on a far-off world and have been repairing their spaceship for weeks as they blend in with the aliens who live there, trying to keep a low profile. But when an unexpected discovery — shared with the best of intentions — leads to chaos, only the Fantastic Four can stop an entire world from sliding into a destruction of their own creation! This won’t be easy- and it may not even be possible. Because to save this world… the Fantastic Four must die!

Peach Momoko delivers a new vision for the Marvel Universe with Momo-Tone Variant Covers

Posted on by Leave a comment

Peach Momoko continues to redefine her artistry! This November, the visionary artist debuts Momo-Tone Variant Covers, an all-new variant collection that showcases a bold new technique for the best-selling cover artist. In these gorgeously painted pieces, Momoko utilized screentones, adhesive sheets traditionally used in manga to create dynamic shades of gray and dramatic shadows. The result is a striking collection of dramatic portraits of Marvel icons unlike anything Momoko has created before, while still remaining true to her unmistakable signature style! 

When I was in school, I always wanted to use screentones for my artwork, but they were too expensive for me to afford. Now I have the opportunity and decided to challenge myself by using screentones for these new Marvel covers.

But an obstacle emerged. How to color using watercolor paint on these screentones? So instead of painting on top of the screentones (risking the art warping), I tried and found that painting on the back of the canvas was very effective! It created a very clean, soft tone color palette that comes through the painting when light passes through from behind. I always enjoy these trial and error challenges and discovering the best methods of painting.

-Peach Momoko

3K’s Counter-Attack Stuns the X-Men and Fantastic Four seek to Save Magneto’s Life in DNX this October

Posted on by

This October, things go from bad to worse for the X-Men and the Fantastic Four in their battle against the villainous group 3K! While Cyclops’ team engages 3K above the skies of Philadelphia to prevent the release of the X-Virus and the emergence of a dark future, the Fantastic Four have mysteriously forgotten their own identities (and how their powers work!) while on their own quest to save the master of magnetism, Magneto. As if that’s not enough trouble, the X-Men’s base in Alaska comes under attack with John Greycrow left alone to defend it and Psylocke stalks a mysterious monster on a dangerous solo mission that promises to reveal dark secrets. It’s all taking place across new issues of DNX, Fantastic Four, and X-Men this October.

In DNX #3, 3K’s counterstroke has shocked the X-Men and Philadelphia is no less in the shadow of disaster as the Chairman’s spoilsport plan comes into effect! The X-Men must look to the least of their number while the Fantastic Four fight against time to deliver the data that can save the day. From writer Jed Mackay, art by Federico Vicentini, and cover by Kaare Andrews, it arrives October 14.

In X-Men #39, enemies put their sights on the X-Men’s home base — the Factory, in Alaska. But the Factory is not undefended…and John Greycrow is an army unto himself! From writer Jed Mackay, art by Netho Diaz, and cover by Tony S. Daniel, it arrives October 14.

In X-Men #40, alone on what could be a flying tomb, Psylocke stalks a mysterious monster on a solo mission for answers. But the answers she finds may raise only further questions. From writer Jed Mackay and art and cover by Tony S. Daniel, it arrives October 28.

In Fantastic Four #18, The Fantastic Four are lost, with no memory of who they are or why they’re there — but now they know they need to find out, fast —because Magneto’s life hangs in the balance. But without identities — or a clear understanding of their powers — the FF are as much a danger to themselves as they are their opponents. from writer Ryan North, art by Vincenzo Carratù, and cover by Giuseppi Camuncoli, it arrives October 28.

Check out the main covers for DNX #3, Fantastic Four #18, X-Men #39 and #40 below and stay tuned for more reveals about DNX in the weeks ahead. Preorder the main series and tie-in issues at your local comic shop today and look for the DNX #1 True Believers Blind Bags, featuring exclusive covers not available for individual purchase, in shops on September 2.

Fantastic Four #13

(W) Ryan North (A) Andrea Sorrentino

Johnny Storm has had some incredibly bad ideas in his time, but every once in a while he also has an incredibly good idea too. Unfortunately, it’s hard to tell which is which until you’re neck-deep in their consequences, and by then it’s usually too late. We mention this only because in this issue, Johnny convinces his sister Sue to go along with a scheme to use her powers to turn the flesh of his skull invisible, so that when he flames on he can pass himself off as the Ghost Rider and settle some old scores. What could possibly go wrong? It’s a Johnny-and-Sue adventure you won’t soon forget!
