Next month Abrams ComicArts will release Marvel Dimensions, a brand new graphic novel featuring incredible original artwork by the legendary Alex Ross. Today we’re taking a look at new preview pages showcasing the origins of The Human Torch.
Written and illustrated by Alex Ross and arriving September 1 from Abrams ComicArts as part of their Marvel Arts line curated by Ross, Marvel Dimensions twists the Marvel Universe in ways readers have never seen before, and includes a full-length 32page comic book bound inside, that changes everything.
Marvel Dimensions 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.
