About What If…? Mickey & Friends Became The Fantastic Four:

  • “Mickey has stretching powers! Minnie can turn invisible! Goofy can burst into flame! Donald has become some kind of rocky…THING! With these incredible powers they vow to help those in need as — the FANTASTIC FOUR. And they’ll need all their awesome abilities if they are to succeed in their first mission together to stop Mole Pete from destroying Duckburg! But how did they get their super-powers? Find out in this fantastic origin special!”

 

What They’re Saying:

  • Mark Paniccia, Editor: “Steve Behling and Riccardo Secchi have done it again with a wild and funtastic take on Marvel’s First Family! Seeing the initial cover sketches by Lorenzo Pastrovicchio with Mickey and friends as the Fantastic Four got our appetite whet for the hilarious hijinks to come, and the final product did not disappoint! Goofy lighting a barbecue? Donald made of rocky feathers? Mole Pete in charge of monsters from the abyss? As a huge FF fan myself, I can say this issue did everything possible to tickle my nostalgic funny bone.”
