Marvel Announces No Overprint For Polybagged FANTASTIC FOUR #587
This January Fantastic Four #587 marks the end of the Fantastic Four and
the penultimate issue of Marvel's longest running series. Concluding the
red hot "Three" storyline by superstars Jonathan Hickman and Steve
Epting, this issue arrives polybagged in comic shops to avoid spoiling
the cataclysmic ending of the Fantastic Four. The incomparable John
Cassaday provides a shocking "spoiler" variant cover to the issue which
ships a week after the release of Fantastic Four #587 to further
preserve the surprise events that lead to the dissolution of Marvel's
first super hero team.
In addition, Marvel has officially announced that there will be no
overprint on Fantastic Four #587, in addition to the issue not appearing
on newsstands.
"The surprises in this issues-and what comes next-constitute one of the
biggest events in Marvel history," said David Gabriel, SVP Sales &
Circulation. "When you see the plans that Tom Brevoort, Jonathan Hickman
and Steve Epting come to fruition, you'll know why we say this is the
story everyone will be talking about. We urge retailers to look for a
major incentive announcement in Diamond Daily and stock up not just for
January, but for the coming months as the aftermath of this issue is
revealed."
This is it-the end of the Fantastic Four. But what could bring about
such a stunning change to the fabric of the Marvel Universe? There's
only one answer-Fantastic Four #587.
