The Fantastic Four's Invisible Woman is Getting Her Own Series

It looks like Marvel is finally going to do something else with the Fantastic Four. Sure, giving them to Dan Slott is far from a bad idea since the writer has penned a number of classic stories before, but the writer has mostly been recycling old concepts with fresh takes. That's not a bad thing, but it does feel a bit too familiar if we're being honest (the series is still a blast though).

Well, Marvel.com has just announced that Mark Waid and Mattia de Iulis are working on an Invisible Woman mini-series, with the first issue coming out this July. This won't be your typical spin-off since Waid is going to show us a new side of Sue Storm, as the series will detail her past life as a SHIELD agent.

Sue being an agent of SHIELD might sound shocking to some, but Waid did reveal this during his short run on the SHIELD comic book that acted as a pseudo-Marvel Team-Up-style series. One of Sue's first missions was shown there and it's nice to see Waid follow that up with a mini-series. Here is hoping that the paperback includes that SHIELD issue.

This is definitely a fresh idea and it will be interesting to see how Waid makes all of this a part of the mainstream Marvel canon. The guy does love his comic book continuity, so this should be fun.

Invisible Woman #1 comes out this July.
