In this episode of Variant Comics, we're breaking down Midnight Fantastic Four #1, exploring the disturbing new origins of Marvel's iconic superhero team, the terrifying experiment that changes Reed Richards and Victor Von Doom forever, and the mysterious forces threatening to unleash something horrifying on the Marvel Universe.
Written by Benjamin Percy with artwork by Kev Walker, Midnight Fantastic Four introduces a radically different interpretation of the team's classic origin, combining science fiction, psychological horror, and the terrifying mysteries of the Negative Zone.
But the biggest difference might not be their powers or origins. It might be the fact that this Fantastic Four isn't a family at all.
We'll also explore how this new series connects to Marvel's Midnight Universe, its similarities to DC's Absolute Universe, and what these changes could mean for the future of the Fantastic Four.
**What do you think of Marvel's terrifying new Fantastic Four? Is this the bold reinvention the team needed, or has Marvel gone too far? Let us know in the comments!**
