Alex Ross Posts New Fantastic Four Cover – And Then Deletes It
The Alex Ross Instagram account posted a brand-new piece of artwork featuring Reed Richards and Sue Storm in what appear to be new Fantastic Four uniforms.
Both have been absent from the Marvel Universe since the end of Secret Wars, as part of a decision by Marvel executives not to publish any more comics called Fantastic Four, after their negotiations with movie license holder Fox. This dispute was originally revealed by Bleeding Cool, disputed by Tom Brevoort, then more recently confirmed by Jonathan Hickman, the last Marvel writer to create stories with the pair at the end of Secret Wars, when they became multiverse deities or somesuch.
It has been theorised, but dismissed, that the upcoming Marvel Legacy comic book might finally see their return. And the fact that Alex Ross posted this image before immediately deleting it, as it it were posted completely by accident, has suddenly underlined that theory.
Or could it be Avengers #675? Or just a private commission into which we are reading far too much?
Only a couple of weeks until New York Comic Con… maybe we'll get more Fantastic Fourness then?
