Publication history

Following Fantastic Four: First Steps, the tie-in one-shot comic for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film The Fantastic Four: First Steps (both released in July 2025), Marvel Comics announced four additional tie-in one-shot comics that, similar to the First Steps one-shot, are presented as in-universe comics published by the Future Foundation and expand on characters and moments from the film; the four comics are expected to be released quarterly throughout 2026. The first one-shot, titled Fantastic Four: First Foes, was released on March 25, 2026. It was written by Dan Slott, with Mark Buckingham and Phil Noto respectively returning as artist and cover artist from the First Steps one-shot, and explores an early adventure of the Fantastic Four facing off against René Rodin / Mad Thinker. The one-shot also features the character Super-Adaptive Android, based on both Super-Adaptoid and Awesome Android, the latter of which was created by the Mad Thinker in the comics. A two-page short story written by Ryan North, "Fantastic Science", is also included, which is inspired by Reed's educational television programming as seen in the film.

The second one-shot, titled Fantastic Four: First Foes – Shalla Bal, is scheduled for release on July 8, 2026. It focuses on how Shalla-Bal became Galactus's herald, the Silver Surfer, before the events of the film. The one-shot is written by North and Charles Soule, with Buckingham and Noto once again respectively returning as artist and cover artist. The third one-shot is titled Fantastic Four: First Foes – Dragon Man and was written by Greg Pak, with Buckingham returning as artist from the previous comics. It is scheduled for release in September 2026, and sees Ben Grimm / The Thing struggling with his rocky form as a potential cure for his condition emerges and involves the android Dragon Man.
