Fantastic Four: First Steps Tie-In Comic Announced

Unsurprisingly, Marvel Comics has announced a tie-in comic for the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps movie which will (finally) welcome the First Family into the MCU.

Written by Matt Fraction, with art by Mark Buckingham, the Fantastic Four: First Steps one-shot is scheduled to land in stores on July 2, just ahead of the film's opening.

The suggestion from Marvel's publicity is this could actually be an in-universe artifact, released to celebrate the Fantastic Four's fourth anniversary "in our world", produced in partnership with the Future Foundation and recounting the early adventures of the team (the Phil Noto cover art is an obvious homage to the iconic first issue of the Fantastic Four from 1961).
