Fantastic Force

A short-lived 1990s Marvel spin-off, Fantastic Force ran for 18 issues from 1994 to 1996, teaming up a new generation of heroes with a handful of familiar faces. Written primarily by Mike Kanterovich and Tom Brevoort, with art by a rotating roster including Dante Bastianoni, Pino Rinaldi, and Geof Isherwood, the series attempted to expand the Fantastic Four’s corner of the universe with a younger, more action-oriented squad. It stands as a curious footnote from an era when Marvel was aggressively launching satellite titles, offering a glimpse into the company’s mid-90s publishing strategy.
