Fantastic Four: Full Circle (Marvel Arts)

Product Information

After graduating, Ross took a job at an advertising agency [6] as a storyboard artist. [11] Ross's first published comic book work was the 1990 five-issue miniseries, Terminator: The Burning Earth, written by Ron Fortier and published by NOW Comics. [12] Ross created all of the art, from pencils through coloring for the series. He performed similar work on a variety of titles over the next few years. His first work for Marvel Comics was to have been printed in the science-fiction anthology series Open Space #5 but the title was cancelled with issue #4 (August 1990). Ross's story was printed in 1999 as a special supplement to Wizard's Alex Ross Special. [13] In 1993, he completed his first painted superhero assignment, the cover of a Superman novel, Superman: Doomsday & Beyond. The Fantastic Four have no choice but to journey into the Negative Zone, an alien universe composed entirely of anti-matter, risking not just their own lives but the fate of the cosmos!

Overall, this was a great short read, with the artwork being by far the strongest aspect of the whole comic. In 2005, Ross designed the DVD illustration covers for the re-release of Gatchaman by ADV Films. [30] He appeared in a featurette discussing his involvement of Gatchaman in his career. Ross’ painted artwork in 1994's Marvels and 1996's Kingdom Come grounded Marvel and DC’s superheroes in hyper-stylish realism, and his distinctive style still makes him one of the most in-demand cover artists in comics. That’s why it was a surprise to learn he changed up his art process for his newest project. Ross created the art in Full Circle using pencil and ink and flat coloring to capture the retro Pop Art vibe he sought with his original story.I'm not a big fan of the Negative Zone and its goofy villains, and this retro story goes all in on it. Inspired by a couple Stan Lee adventures from the first run of the Fantastic Four in issues #51 and #107-109, Alex Ross creates a wholly unnecessary sequel for the few people who ever wondered, "What happened to that guy who impersonated the Thing that one time?" or "Wasn't there once some guy called Nega-Man?"

This Nega-Energy is true to its name, as it is a force of negative, malevolent intent. In 1996, Ross worked with writer Mark Waid on the DC Comics limited series Kingdom Come, [15] which presents a possible future for the DC Universe, in which Superman and several other classic superheroes return from retirement to tame a generation of brutal anti-heroes. The work featured Ross's redesigned versions of many DC characters, as well as a new generation of characters. Ross co-created the original character Magog, patterning his appearance and costume on Cable and Shatterstar, two characters created by Rob Liefeld. [16] [17] DC Comics writer and executive Paul Levitz observed that "Waid's deep knowledge of the heroes' pasts served them well, and Ross' unique painted art style made a powerful statement about the reality of the world they built."

H) Manning "1990s" in Dolan, p. 289: "The second in the oversized prestige-format tabloid collaborations between writer Paul Dini and painter Alex Ross, Batman: War on Crime was just as successful as its predecessor, and just as beautiful." Ross followed Kingdom Come with Uncle Sam, [12] a non-superhero work for DC's Vertigo line, an experimental work that examined the dark side of American history. Ross drew the lenticular covers for Superman: Forever #1 (June 1998) [19] and Batman: No Man's Land #1 (March 1999). [20] Between 1998 and 2003, writer Paul Dini and Ross produced annual tabloid-sized editions [21] celebrating the 60th anniversaries of DC Comics' Superman ( Superman: Peace on Earth), [22] Batman ( Batman: War on Crime), [23] Shazam ( Shazam!

Ross has said this book was about challenging himself artistically. But in talking with him, one gets the sense he did this for another reason. For a great number of fans, the Kirby-Lee FF run is the pinnacle of comics. Fantastic Four: Full Circle gives Ross the chance to remind people why Kirby was known as the “King of Comics.”
