Dan Slott and John Romita Jr. lead an all-star lineup kick off a brand-new Fantastic Four epic this August in FANTASTIC FOUR #35<\/em><\/p>\n

This year, Marvel Comics is proud to celebrate the 60th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of the Fantastic Four! Home to concepts and characters that revolutionized comic book storytelling, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby\u2019s beloved creations have enjoyed one of the most memorable sagas in comic book history and this year will see some of greatest adventures yet! Following the highly anticipated\u00a0BRIDE OF DOOM\u00a0storyline, August\u2019s FANTASTIC FOUR #35 will be a special giant-sized spectacular that will see series writer Dan Slott teaming up with legendary artist John Romita Jr.<\/p>\n

\n

Recently returned to the House of Ideas, Romita Jr. is back to bringing his incredible artwork to Marvel\u2019s biggest heroes, starting with this celebratory 60th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary issue for Marvel\u2019s First Family. FANTASTIC FOUR #35 will launch a brand-new storyline that will see every iteration of the iconic villain Kang teaming up for a devious plot that will unravel across Fantastic Four history!<\/p>\n

\n

The entire Kang bloodline is out to destroy every era of the Fantastic Four! How can Reed, Sue, Ben and Johnny hope to survive simultaneous attacks across their lifetimes by Rama Tut, the Scarlet Centurion, Kang the Conqueror and Kang\u2019s final descendant, the sinister Scion?! Still dealing with the repercussions of Doctor Doom\u2019s climactic wedding, the groundbreaking changes to the Fantastic Four\u2019s status quo are just beginning. Plus: Mark Waid and Paul Renaud deliver dramatic new insights into the origin of the fabulous foursome in an all-new anniversary tale and a third story written and drawn by Jason Loo in his Marvel Comics debut!<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve read, and been told by much smarter people, that \u2018luck is the residue of design\u2019 so I won\u2019t even attempt to claim I designed the events of these last few months, but I will take this kind of luck any day any time,\u201d Romita Jr. said. \u201cI was lucky to begin my career with Marvel and now am extremely lucky to re-connect with Marvel. That\u2019s an enormous amount of good fortune. I sincerely thank all the folks up at Marvel, and Disney, who worked for this fortunate re-connection to happen.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTo add to all this, and I hate to add a third section to my good fortune, is the opportunity to start off with a huge project, which is the 60th anniversary of the Fantastic Four! It is an honor and extreme privilege to be asked to work on this along with a friend and former collaborator, Dan Slott! Along with ink artist JP Mayer, I am looking forward to this being up for viewing in August!\u201d<\/p>\n
