Over the past year, the Marvel mythos has been infused with Disney magic in new What If...? one-shots that put Mickey Mouse and the gang into classic Marvel Comics storytelling.

It took Disney longer to start releasing comics like this than we expected; when Disney first acquired Marvel, we expected that to become the norm, though outside of Big Hero 6, Disney Animation and Pixar have, unfortunately, never been mashed up with the Marvel Universe. 

Regardless, following Donald Duck's remarkable adventures as Wolverine and Thor, and Minnie's flight as Captain Marvel, the whole gang gets in on the action next January in Marvel & Disney: What If...? Mickey & Friends Became The Fantastic Four #1

Written by Steve Behling and Riccardo Secchi and illustrated by artist Lorenzo Pastrovicchio, Marvel & Disney: What If...? Mickey & Friends Became The Fantastic Four #1 will take things back to very foundation of the Marvel Universe! In 1961, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby kicked off the age of heroes in Fantastic Four #1 and now, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Donald pay homage to this landmark comic.

It's said that we'll see the gang put a wild spin on Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben’s fateful space voyage, the cosmic storm that gifted them their unique abilities, and their legendary first superhero battle against Mole Man.

Here's the issue's official description:

Mickey has stretching powers! Minnie can turn invisible! Goofy can burst into flame! Donald has become some kind of rocky...Thing! With these incredible powers they vow to help those in need as — the Fantastic Four. And they’ll need all their awesome abilities if they are to succeed in their first mission together to stop Mole Pete from destroying Duckburg! But how did they get their super-powers? Find out in this fantastic origin special!

"As a huge FF fan myself, I can tell you this issue will tickle your nostalgic funny bone, bringing the spirit of Marvel’s first family to a story I can only describe as Funtastic!" Editor Mark Paniccia shared today while hyping up the comic. 

Check out the main cover, as well as variant covers by Phil Noto and Chrissie Zullo, for Marvel & Disney: What If...? Mickey & Friends Became The Fantastic Four #1 below.

This almost makes you forget Disney tried to erase this property not too long ago.

@SummersClan - factor in that nobody was buying their comics
SummersClan

@Mrtoke - This is untrue. The book was doing just fine and only a few years before its cancellation, it was a top seller under Hickman. And even if sales were low, comics are drop in the bucket for decades. They aren’t a barometer of an IPs value.

@SummersClan - there are records that prove my statement. That is all
SummersClan
SummersClan - 9/17/2024, 2:47 PM
@Mrtoke - please show them because I know the sales never dipped below 30k while books that were getting 13k only either continued after FF was cancelled or relaunched shortly after.

@SummersClan - if you're curious, you can see so for yourself. they weren't in the top 50 comics being sold. i'll say that.

Damn, didn’t realize the quest to bring Sora back from Quadratum would result in Disney Town getting exposed to the Power Cosmic.

@asherman93 - I know it would make absolutely zero sense, but if Sora showed up in Secret Invasion, I'd probably crap myself.

@SATW42 - Honestly, if Donald and Goofy switched powers in this comic, it wouldn't be too far off from how they work in the games - Goofy is the muscle, Donald does Fire Magic (Zettaflare).

Amazing to see a couple of alumni of “PKNA - Paperinik New Adventures”, one of the greatest things ever produced by italian Disney comics, get to write and draw superheroified Disney characters for Marvel!

@Matchesz - it's just a "goofy" little crossover, no harm in it

They should make a crossover between howard the duck and darkwing duck
