Marvel Rivals Confirms New Comic Run, Teasing the Fantastic Four's Spring Return
Marvel Rivals' success continues to inspire new Marvel content, and fans of the game and comics alike just received excellent news regarding future storytelling. Marvel Rivals Infinity Comic is set to receive six new issues; the series will introduce the Fantastic Four, possibly alongside other familiar Rivals champions. The Fantastic Four have already made a major impression in the game, and they'll undoubtedly do the same on the page.
As revealed by Marvel's official X account, more Marvel Rivals Infinity Comic issues – written by Paul Allor, with art by Luca Claretti – are coming this spring. The creative duo's first run explored the Marvel Rivals universe via heroes like Spider-Man, Peni Parker, Thor, Namor, and more as they saved the Tokyo 2099 timeline; this new run promises more of the same action and adventure.
The Fantastic Four are likely not the only new additions to the comic roster, but their inclusion continues the hype for their arrival in-game and all of the team's other upcoming MCU and comic projects.

In the Marvel Rivals universe, worlds combine and converge across the Multiverse, smashing together heroes from a variety of different timelines. They're forced to work together to complete their missions to save the world, mimicking the "team" dynamic present in the game, and putting together plenty of unlikely fan-favorite heroes. The first six issues had Hulk teaming up with the likes of Doctor Strange and Venom, while Captain America led the charge with Squirrel Girl, Jeff the Land Shark, and others. In total, Marvel Rivals Infinity Comic was a lighthearted look at plenty of different personalities.
