Two comic book powerhouses are joining forces this August as Eisner Award-winning writer Mark Waid teams up with legendary artist Neal Adams for Fantastic Four: Antithesis, a new limited series which will pit the Fantastic Four, the Silver Surfer and Galactus against a brand new nemesis who is “guaranteed to send shockwaves throughout all of fandom”.
“Working with Neal Adams has been a dream of mine since I was a kid. To share the page with a man of his talent is an honor,” states Waid. “The story begins with the Fantastic Four struggling to prevent an extinction event on Earth and just goes more cosmic from there. We all know of Galactus, but until now, no one has met his Antithesis.”
“I have always had the sense of missing the chance to draw the Fantastic Four,” adds Adams. “It was a quiet sense, since I’ve had every opportunity to do my favorites. More, I felt Kirby and Buscema had done it all, hadn’t they…?” he begins. “When Marvel’s Tom Brevoort asked if I’d like to do the Fantastic Four, I knew I had to ask for Galactus and the Silver Surfer as well. I am humbled and thankful to Tom for the opportunity.”
Fantastic Four: Antithesis #1 will go on sale in August.
