It’s not Marvels, but… ish? Alex Ross has a fancy new project coming later this year via Marvel and Abrams ComicArts — Marvel Dimensions, another deep dive into the House of Ideas’ past. But it’s far from rehash. Dig the official description: MARVEL DIMENSIONS: A GRAPHIC NOVEL Alex Ross, the award-winning and bestselling creator of Marvels, Kingdom Come, and Fantastic Four: Full Circle, takes readers through the Marvel Universe―but all is not as it seems Marvel Dimensions is legendary artist Alex Ross’ second book in the Marvel Arts series, following the national bestselling, critically acclaimed, and award-winning Fantastic Four: Full Circle. The story opens with a sweeping tour through the classic origins of Marvel’s most iconic characters. Spider-Man, the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine, and many others appear in dramatic, fully painted spreads that echo their earliest stories. A narrator describes each moment with confidence, guiding the reader through these touchstones of Marvel’s history. But as the story moves forward, the tone begins to shift. The voice behind the narration is not who the readers expect and carries a motive that slowly pushes the narrative somewhere darker and far more unpredictable. Once this change becomes clear, the book expands into something larger and more surprising. Storylines twist in on themselves, characters behave in unexpected ways, and events ripple across the Marvel Universe with growing tensions. Ross uses the structure of the book to create anticipation and pull the reader deeper into a mystery that keeps widening. Every new sequence reveals another layer, building toward a final act that reframes everything that came before it. A bonus 32-page comic book is included that is pivotal to the storyline. With Marvel Dimensions, Ross approaches the Marvel Universe from a new angle with new character invention that invites readers to question what they think and what they know. Marvel Dimensions may be the latest title in the Marvel Arts line . . . but it is only the beginning. — A few thoughts: — Abrams ComicArts also has a novelization of Ross and Kurt Busiek’s Marvels coming this spring. Click here for the skinny. — The 112-page hardcover is due Sept. 1, 2026. It lists for $29.99. — I know Ross has a good thing going with Marvel and Abrams right now, but I do miss him over at the Distinguished Competition. — MORE...
