The Fantastic Four are back at the forefront of the Marvel Universe with a stunning recreation of Jim Lee’s X-Men #1 cover and over 20 more homage variants

The Fantastic Four are finally back at the center of the Marvel Universe thanks to the current One World Under Doom status quo, in which the FF’s arch-enemy Doctor Doom has seized the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme with designs on conquering the world. And to celebrate the important place of Marvel’s “First Family” in the story, some of Marvel’s top artists have created variant covers featuring the members of the Fantastic Four recreating other classic Marvel Comics covers.

There is of course an homage to Jim Lee’s all-time classic cover for 1991’s X-Men #1, in this case by artist Michele Bandini for the cover of X-Men #10, along with a whole slew of other recognizable cover recreations. They’ll feature on the front of Marvel Comics throughout January, while the back of the comics will feature the original covers that the FF issues are recreating.

Here’s a gallery of the covers, followed by a list of the comics they’ll appear on and the artists that drew them, organized by release date:
