It’s been sixty years since Stan Lee and Jack Kirby brought together Marvel’s First Family, and as part of the anniversary celebrations the publisher has announced that a brand new story arc is set to get underway in Fantastic Four this May as Dan Slott and R.B. Silva launch their ‘Bride of Doom’ saga.

The Human Torch suddenly must choose between his soulmate and his ex-wife. And because a simple love triangle isn’t enough, has Johnny Storm’s first heartbreak, Crystal, come back to rekindle their flame?! All this plus an ominous decree by Doctor Doom and a second tale in which Reed Richards duels his arch nemesis for the strangest prize imaginable! Don’t miss part one of this epic new “BRIDE OF DOOM” saga: “Betrothal.”
“Dan and RB are working to make the Fantastic Four’s 60th Anniversary a nonstop thrill ride for fans, one that touches on all aspects of the FF’s world and re-establishes them as the cornerstone players of the Marvel Universe,” said Executive Editor Tom Brevoort. “Expect some big surprises, status quo changes and shocking revelations in the months ahead—to say nothing of the return of some classic villains that readers have been asking for!”
Bride of Doom will get underway in May 2021.
