Fantastic Four: Life Story

Product Information

Canon Character All Along: The character of "Dr. Jones" at first seems to just be there as the reason why Reed and the others have to rush the launch, but later it's revealed that he's actually Ricardo Jones, the man who switched places with the Thing in Fantastic Four #51, "This Man, This Monster." The latter half of the first issue is actually an adaptation of "This Man, This Monster," with some things changed. Knows a Guy Who Knows a Guy: Sue and Johnny agree to help Reed to launch the ship, but they need a pilot. Fortunately, Johnny knows someone...

Fantastic Four: Life Story Vol 1 1 | Marvel Database | Fandom

Working on a story about Marvel's First Family is not only an honor in itself, but what makes it even more so, is being part of the team that gets to tell such a moving and heartfelt story about these iconic characters, their struggles, and triumphs in a new way that draws on what has come before," adds Izaakse. "If I do my job right, this story will be one that Fantastic Four fans will remember for a long, long time." Galactus states that he is "coming" for all of them. The storyline in which he first appears is called, of course, " The Coming of Galactus." Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Issue 3 in spades. Doom and the Mad Thinker's act of attempting to destroy the Earth via nuclear war causes both the US and Russia to freak out at how close they came to the end and discuss nuclear disarmament. As well, Namor's callous dismissal of Franklin's fate causes Sue to abandon him and return to the Fantastic Four. Decon-Recon Switch: Much like Spider-Man: Life Story before it, this story explores dealing with more "realistic" outcomes to the events the Fantastic Four experience while still ultimately showing them as heroes in the end of day. In the first issue it becomes apparent that they really aren't a "family unit" as they are known by most readers, but putting on the appearance of one for the sake of the public presentation.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. The Meddling Kids Are Useless: All the old heroes come out of retirement to aid the young ones against the Doombots. And yet, victory comes from the Mad Thinker, who helps Reed to retrieve the turnoff codes. 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. Historical Domain Character: John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon and the Beatles appear in the first issue of the series. Ronald Regan dominates issue three. Reed finds himself on the receiving end of this at the end of issue #2, after Sue divorces him and starts up a relationship with Namor.

Galactus Came To Earth Because of A Marvel Hero In Retold Debut Galactus Came To Earth Because of A Marvel Hero In Retold Debut

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. 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.The moment of truth comes for Earth as Galactus arrives. The Fantastic Four are willing to stop him at any price, but what if that price includes the destruction of other inhabited worlds? Nrama: You have a very diverse oeuvre, so where does Fantastic Four: Life Story sit with you in what you're wanting to do with tone, perspective, and characterization? Nrama: Marvel says this will present their story in a "radical new way". Do you think what you're doing is radical - and if so, can you give an example of that? The Ageless: The Thing still looks the same age even as his teammates and the other heroes and villains get older. Johnny Storm: If I have to die someday, which I imagine I will, I hope people won't think that I stayed too long. That I left while I was still too interesting. While people were still asking, who was that guy? But even if you left the party unnoticed, that's okay. Because the party carries on without us.
