The next issue of Fantastic Four features an unusual alien invasion, continuing the team’s streak of dealing with bizarre threats. After the recent Blood Hunt event and the disappearance of Doctor Doom, who briefly assumed the role of Sorcerer Supreme, the Fantastic Four hoped for a break from their world-saving duties. However, their respite is cut short when they encounter a new, unexpected threat.
In Fantastic Four #23, the team discovers Earth is being bombarded by mysterious “OMG Particles,” which they initially know nothing about. The Fantastic Four shrunk themselves to the subatomic level using the Reducta-Craft to investigate these particles further. Their investigation leads to a shocking revelation: these particles are actually spacecraft carrying alien lifeforms.
The upcoming issue showcases the Fantastic Four’s first contact with these microscopic invaders. As they engage with the aliens, the team must determine whether they are friends or foes. This issue’s preview teases high-stakes action, with visually stunning covers by artists Alex Ross and Tom Reilly adding to the excitement.
Marvel’s official synopsis reveals that these subatomic invaders hold a terrible secret that even Mr. Fantastic and his team might not be able to stop. As the situation in the Baxter Building grows increasingly dire, Mr. Fantastic realizes that the only way to save Earth may involve a journey to the farthest reaches of time and space. This cosmic adventure promises to challenge the Fantastic Four in ways they have never experienced before.
The issue, Fantastic Four #24, written by Ryan North, with art by Carlos Gómez, colors by Jesus Aburtov, and letters by Joe Caramagna, will be available on August 28. Fans can expect a thrilling, Reed Richards-narrated story that spans from the subatomic to the intergalactic, pushing the limits of what the Fantastic Four can handle.
