Alex Ross' Fantastic Four with the Soviet hammer and sickle superimposed

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Contains spoilers for G.O.D.S. #7!The Fantastic Four once set off on a space-faring mission that changed their lives forever, and now Marvel has just introduced another group whose own flight makes them both parallels and opposites to the FF. The tragedy of this other group is that their own accident makes them victims, not heroes.

This voyage parallels the Fantastic Four in some obvious ways. For starters, the FF’s own space journey was originally set in 1961, when Fantastic Four vol 1 #1 was published. The FF’s goal at the time was also to beat the Soviets to space, which makes it fun that there was in fact a near-simultaneous Soviet mission doing much the same.

As seen in G.O.D.S. #7's present-day story, the crew of Vostok 7 have been trapped, unaging, in another dimension ever since, and begin rapidly aging when they return to reality. While the crew don’t get superpowers like the FF, they’re still changed forever by weird sci-fi science. These parallels aren’t limited to the issue’s plot either. G.O.D.S.
