See the FF on the big screen in FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS, in theaters July 25th, 2025!
Far-out Fantastic Four adventures from the hard-hitting Marvel Knights imprint of the early 2000s!
The Fantastic Four must regroup to overcome the one threat their incredible powers cannot defeat: bankruptcy! And when Reed, Sue and Ben take Franklin on a camping trip to the Pine Barrens, what they find is a strange creature that may well be the Jersey Devil! While New York freezes in the icy grip of winter, an old foe resurfaces with a grudge: Namor! But soon the team’s deepest fears and doubts are spreading from their dreams to the waking world. Their old villain Psycho-Man may hold the key…but he’s dying?! And blind sculptress Alicia Masters has her sight restored — but at what cost? Plus: Witness the ultimate Thing/Hulk battle — it’s a knock-down, drag-out slobberknocker that will rattle your molars!
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is an award-winning comic-book, TV and film writer, as well as an accomplished playwright. He won a prestigious Harvey Award for his work on Marvel Knights 4, and enjoyed success with horror-tinged runs on Nightcrawler and Sensational Spider-Man. He has also penned Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four, Dead of Night: Man-Thing, Angel: Revelations and Marvel Divas; and contributed to the Nation X and Fear Itself anthologies. In the original graphic novel Fantastic Four: Season One, he modernized the seminal origin and formative first days of Marvel’s First Family. Aguirre-Sacasa also writes for movies and television, including HBO’s Emmy-nominated series Big Love and Fox’s Glee. He has written a new version of Carrie, based on the novel by Stephen King, for MGM and helped revamp the Broadway spectacular Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.
Artist Steve McNiven parlayed a chance trip to San Diego Comic-Con into a position at CrossGen Comics, where he quickly earned a regular assignment on Meridian. When CrossGen ceased publishing, McNiven moved on to Marvel Knights 4 with writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. Next, he joined Warren Ellis on Ultimate Secret. In 2006, McNiven and Mark Millar shattered the Marvel Universe’s status quo in Civil War. His next assignments included Brian Michael Bendis’ New Avengers and the initial story arc of Amazing Spider-Man’s “Brand New Day” era. McNiven and Millar reteamed for “Old Man Logan” in Wolverine and the creator-owned Nemesis, published under the Marvel Icon imprint. With Ed Brubaker, McNiven helped relaunch Captain America; his later Marvel work includes Guardians of the Galaxy with Bendis and Uncanny Avengers with Rick Remender. McNiven cemented his reputation as one of the all-time great Wolverine artists on the climactic series Death of Wolverine.
