On February 2, Fantastic Four writer Dan Slott's "Reckoning War" saga begins in the pages of Fantastic Four: Reckoning War Alpha #1. From there, the storyline will continue to play out in the pages of Fantastic Four each month, with the story promising to shed light on the First War that rocked the Marvel Universe, a conflict that preceded Asgard, Galactus, and all the heroes you know and love.
That war will now reignite and only the Fantastic Four can defend the Universe from the chaos it will unleash. Today, a first look at the revelations and action to come has been revealed in an awesome new trailer that features some never-before-seen artwork from the highly anticipated event story.
"When I was eight years old I read a particular Marvel comic that struck me. It got me thinking 'If this happened, and that happened, then the whole Marvel universe would be in trouble. Every facet would be in danger if this conflict happened again, and I've sat back and waited since I was eight years old and no one ever touched on this. And that made me happy," Slott recently told to Newsarama. "The Reckoning War is me being able to answer the question an eight-year-old me had: What if those guys showed up again? It's chaos, madness. A fight for your life. This is my Star Wars."
We're certainly intrigued by what Marvel Comics has planned for this storyline, especially with Carlos Pacheco and Carlos Magno on art duties. The Watcher is set to factor into the story, as is Nick Fury in his new guise as "The Unseen" (we're hoping that's undone at some point in this series).
