Marvel Comics returns to newsstands with Marvel Comics: The Fantastic Four, a bookazine created and distributed in collaboration with Dotdash Meredith and set for release on July 4, 2025, just ahead of opening weekend for Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps.  The 96-page bookazine (formatted like a magazine, but with a higher page count) will be available at retail outlets, magazine stands, and via Amazon and will have an MSRP of $14.99.

The issue will contain the Fantastic Four’s origin story, illustrated by Alex Ross; a behind-the-scenes look at the movie and interviews with Marvel Studios execs; and three key stories: Fantastic Four #60 (2002) “Inside Out,” by Mark Waid and Mike Wieringo; Fantastic Four #570 (2009) “Solve Everything,” by Jonathan Hickman and Dale Eaglesham; and Fantastic Four #1 (2022) “The Last Town to the Left,” by Ryan North and Iban Coello.  The bookazine also contains a digital coupon for $30 worth of digital comics on the Marvel Unlimited platform and will have two collectible covers, one by Arthur Adams and Christina Strain and the other by Phil Noto.

The Fantastic Four movie is slated to hit theaters on July 25 (see “‘Fantastic Four’ Trailer”).
