THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Clip Shows a Sunday Dinner With a Big Announcement

The article discusses a promotional motion comic clip, titled "Sunday Dinner," for Marvel's new comic series, Fantastic Four: First Steps. This series is a modern retelling of the team's origin story, set in Marvel's new Ultimate Universe and designed to be a fresh starting point for new readers.

The key takeaways from the article are:

• A Major Change to the Origin: The clip shows the team—Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben—having a family dinner that is interrupted by a baby crying. This baby is revealed to be Franklin Richards.
• Franklin Richards from the Start: This is a significant departure from the original comics, where Franklin was born much later in the team's history. Here, he is present from the very beginning.
• Immediate Super-Powered Dynamic: The clip shows Franklin already has his powers, as he is seen levitating his toys. This immediately establishes the Fantastic Four not just as a team of adventurers, but as a family dealing with the immense challenge of raising a super-powered infant from day one.
• New Foundational Theme: The article highlights that this change by writer Ryan North and artist Iban Coello makes the family dynamic and its unique domestic struggles a core theme of the series from its very first steps, setting a new tone for Marvel's First Family.
