The Fantastic Four are finally back at the center of the Marvel Universe thanks to the current status quo of One World Under Doom, in which the FF's archenemy Doctor Doom has taken up the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme with plans to conquer the world. And to celebrate the important place of Marvel's “First Family” in history, some of Marvel's top artists have created variant covers featuring members of the Fantastic Four recreating other classic Marvel Comics covers.
Of course, there's 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 host of others recreations of recognizable covers. They will appear on the cover of Marvel Comics throughout January, while the back of the comics will include the original covers that the FF issues are recreating.
