Marvel has made loads of tie-in comedian books for his or her motion pictures. I bear in mind promoting fairly a couple of copies of the Sam Raimi Spider-Man e book that was written by Stan Lee again in my days as a comic book retailer clerk. Marvel has made film prequels and film variations, and film spinoffs.
So it’s not notably stunning in and of itself that Marvel is making a comic book tied to their upcoming Incredible 4 movie, The Incredible 4: First Steps. What makes it just a little extra notable, or not less than extra fascinating is that (per Deadline) the corporate’s First Steps comedian is “designed to be an artifact from the world of the upcoming film” and in addition confirms that the movie is “not an origin story, however will decide up 4 years after they change into heroes.”
In different phrases: this Incredible 4 comedian isn’t simply in regards to the MCU model of the characters — performed by Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bacharach — it exists as a comic book throughout the movie’s universe. As in, if you have been a child who liked the Incredible 4 within the MCU, you possibly can stroll to your native comedian retailer (or extra seemingly your nook drug retailer, since First Steps takes place previously earlier than comedian shops even existed) and purchase a copy of this e book.

Marvel’s First Steps comedian is written by Matt Fraction and illustrated by Mark Buckingham, with a canopy by Phil Noto. As you may see above, Noto’s piece is impressed by the quilt to the very first Incredible 4 #1 from 1961 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. On condition that picture, and the truth that the e book supposedly confirms the movie just isn’t an origin story, I’m going to make the educated guess that this comedian is this FF’s origin — retelling their first battle with the Mole Man, simply as Lee and Kirby did of their unique Incredible 4 #1, for followers of the group within the MCU. (The film’s trailers have already made it clear the FF are big celebrities of their universe.)
Lee and Kirby’s Incredible 4 tales typically referenced the truth that the FF have been celebrities with their very own comedian e book — which, in an much more meta contact, was written and drawn by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. So this continues that custom as properly.
Marvel‘s First Steps comedian goes on sale on July 2. The Incredible 4: First Steps is scheduled to open in theaters on July 25.
