COMICS: Marvel's Two-In-One Will March Towards Reuniting The FANTASTIC FOUR
Marvel Legacy is a reboot of sorts for the comic universe but Reed, Sue, Franklin and Val Richards are still missing following their roles in the reality-collapsing Secret Wars (2015) crossover.
Marvel is launching a new Two-In-One comic book as part of Marvel Legacy and one half of the title will be devoted to The Thing and The Human Torch going on a quest to find their missing family.
Speaking to Newsarama, series writer Chip Zdarsky teased, "It’s Ben and Johnny diving headfirst into the mystery of what happened to [Reed and Sue]. The world presumes that Reed, Sue, and the kids are dead, but Johnny especially can’t accept that fact. So we’re heading on a road trip to find out what happened."
And it seems the Secret Wars (2015) villain Victor Von Doom has all the answers. Zdarsky continued, "[U]nbeknownst to Ben and Johnny, [Doctor] Doom holds the key to finding the missing heroes. Writing Doom is insanely fun, and my favorite Marvel book right now is Infamous Iron Man, so it’s great to be able to play with what Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev have been doing with the character."
Of course, the question the series will have to explore is whether Ben and Johnny and find their missing family members and if they do, will Reed and Sue decide to return or are they still busy reshaping reality?
