Called Prodigal Sun, the three-issue series of one-shots by Peter David and Francesco Manna introduces a new character called Prodigal, out for revenge for… something, and landing in the Savage Land, where he goes up against the Fantastic Four in the first one-shot, Fantastic Four: Prodigal Sun, hitting stores in July.
