Fantastic Four Shown To Be Skrulls... Maybe
The Skrulls, Marvel's alien race of shapeshifters du joir, are starting to get on my nerves. They never seem to actually do anything other than show up when the editors are bored of sending the Avengers up against the usual list of world threats. Well, honestly, I suppose it makes sense: Nazis can only threaten the world so many times before they get too old to continue to do so, so you need to replace them with a group who are equally as evil (in a non-interesting and generic way).
Anyway, I have no idea what the upcoming issue of Fantastic Four will actually reveal, but the variant cover by Arthur Suydam hints at the possibility that everyone's favorite superhero family might actually be a little green under the skin. Seeing as how I stopped reading FF comics when I was thirteen or so, I can't say I really care all that much. If it were anyone else's art, I probably wouldn't have even noticed, but in this case I'll admit that the cover at least looks entertaining.
Hit the jump for Marvel's press release.
