New York, NY\u2014September 14, 2018\u2014Gather your friends, find your best clothing, and get ready to party \u2013 Marvel is celebrating a wedding that has been years in the making, and it\u2019s the union of Ben Grimm and Alicia Masters! And don\u2019t worry, Marvel fans \u2013 this wedding will definitely have the happy couple saying \u201cI do!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

This December, Dan Slott and Esad Ribic joined by Marvel Young Gun Aaron Kuder and superstar artists Adam Hughes and Michael Allred for a special 650th<\/sup>\u00a0issue spectacular, featuring the untold tale of Alicia and Ben\u2019s courtship! Plus, a bachelor party that only Johnny Storm could throw and many more surprises that it can only mean it\u2019s a wedding celebrated in the Mighty Marvel Manner!<\/p>\n

\n

And even though vows will be exchanged without a hitch, it wouldn\u2019t be a Marvel wedding without its fair share of dangers lurking in the background\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThere are a handful of comic titles that demand respect due to their history. Titles that have influenced generations of fans and creators alike…Fantastic Four<\/em>\u00a0is definitely one of the biggest,\u201d said Kuder. \u201cIt is truly an honor on that basis alone. Throw in the fact that I\u2019m working with legendary creators like Dan, Mike, Adam, and Marte, and that just sets my inner fanboy a-spinning. I\u2019ll be giving this ALL I’ve got.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a long time in coming\u2014more than 55 years!\u2014but Ben and Alicia are finally tying the knot!\u201d said SVP and Executive Editor Tom Brevoort. \u201cAnd we\u2019ve gone all-out to make this an extra-special event for fans, with the inclusion of not only the terrific Aaron Kuder (who\u2019ll be illustrating the next storyline as well) but also Adam Hughes and Mike Allred for an all-star spectacular bash!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Comic retailers across the U.S. received their invites earlier this week \u2013 will YOU be in attendance? Rings and vows are exchanged this December, when FANTASTIC FOUR #5 hits comic shops!<\/p>\n
