FANTASTIC FOUR'S BIG TOWN #1 by Steve Englehart & Mike McKone On Sale November 1st - Price $3.50 THE SCOOP: In the tradition of EARTH X, this all-new story takes a speculative look at Marvel's greatest heroes! THE STORY: With the success of alternate reality tales such as UNIVERSE X and MUTANT X, the WHAT IF? brand returns with an all-new saga! Writer Steve Englehart explains the stories' set-up: "BIG TOWN operates on the premise that the world changed significally (after the appearance of super heroes). The hi-tech inventions that the Fantastic Four and Stark Industries created to fight villains were suitably modified into consumer products. Civilization as a whole took a great leap forward, but everything cutting edge moved to New York, because that's where all the super heroes are. New York is now a gleaming, ultra-modern showcase of super hero technology. But, this concentration of power has driven the world's major villains to band together to destroy it. BIG TOWN is about the city and the many and varied people who live and work there, including reimagined versions of the FF, Dr. Doom, Magneto, Namor, the Red Skull, Ultron, the Hulk, Speedball, the Avengers and the X-Men." THE FORMAT: Four-issue limited series. Issues #1 and #4 are 48-page (with ads) bookends, and will be priced at $3.50. Issues #2 and #3 are 32 pages (with ads), and will be priced at $2.99. |
