Abrams ComicsArts and Marvel have announced another edition to their Marvel Arts line of graphic novels — Marvel Dimensions, a new project by writer/artist Alex Ross.
The projects follows Fantastic Four: Full Circle, also by Ross, which Abrams published back in 2022. It’ll start with the origins of several Marvel characters, then go somewhere “darker and far more unpredictable.”
“This is my longest work to date that I have written and drawn myself,” Ross said. “Dimensions is like a combination of my most famous works, Marvels and Kingdom Come, where my love of comics history and ambitious world-building collide.”
Here’s the description from Abrams:
The story opens with a sweeping tour through the classic origins of Marvel’s most iconic characters. Spider-Man, the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine, and many others appear in dramatic, fully painted spreads that echo their earliest stories. A narrator describes each moment with confidence, guiding the reader through these touchstones of Marvel’s history. But as the story moves forward, the tone begins to shift. The voice behind the narration is not who the readers expect and carries a motive that slowly pushes the narrative somewhere darker and far more unpredictable.
Once this change becomes clear, the book expands into something larger and more surprising. Storylines twist in on themselves, characters behave in unexpected ways, and events ripple across the Marvel Universe with growing tensions. Ross uses the structure of the book to create anticipation and pull the reader deeper into a mystery that keeps widening. Every new sequence reveals another layer, building toward a final act that reframes everything that came before it. A bonus 32-page comic book is included that is pivotal to the storyline.
Marvel Dimensions will arrive in stores Sept. 1.
