Marvel reveals a crossover series featuring Planet of the Apes and the Fantastic Four.

      After recently hosting the Alien and Predator franchises, Marvel is welcoming another iconic property from 20th Century Studios this February with its new crossover series, Planet of the Apes vs. Fantastic Four.

      The four-issue limited series, written by Josh Trujillo (What If…? Galactus) and illustrated by Andrea di Vito (Emma Frost: The White Queen), will transport Marvel’s First Family to Ape City, along with their adversary Doctor Doom.

      “I grew up watching Planet of the Apes marathons on Saturday afternoons, so being able to write for these legendary characters is a huge thrill!” Trujillo expressed. “Having Marvel’s First Family clash with Cornelius, Zira, and Dr. Zaius is incredibly fun, and I can’t believe I’m the one who gets to share this epic story. It’s a crossover that’s been years in the making, and I hope you’ll join us on this journey!”

      Di Vito added, “At first, it seems like an unusual combination, but both franchises were destined to meet at some point. The Fantastic Four are always driven by exploration, and landing on the Planet of the Apes is perfect for a classic FF adventure, channeling the iconic tone established by Stan & Jack. I am privileged to illustrate this ‘first official meeting’ between the Marvel Universe and Planet of the Apes.”

      Check out Greg Land’s cover for Planet of the Apes vs. Fantastic Four #1, along with a glimpse of di Vito’s interior artwork.
