Marvel Comics is launching a new one-shot comic titled The Fantastic Four: First Steps in August 2024. Written by Christos Gage and illustrated by Greg Land, the comic is notable because it is being explicitly marketed as Marvel's first official MCU comic book.

The purpose of this one-shot is to serve as an accessible introduction to the Fantastic Four, covering their origins (likely the space flight and gaining powers from cosmic rays) and their dynamic as a family of adventurers. It aims to appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers, especially those familiar with the MCU who may be less acquainted with the FF's comic book history.

While Marvel has previously published comics related to the MCU (like adaptations or preludes), this is the first time a comic is being branded directly as an "official MCU comic," potentially signaling a different level of connection or integration as hype builds for the upcoming Fantastic Four film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
