The creator of Dinosaur Comics just introduced the greatest Marvel team yet: the Dinosaur Avengers
04.10.2023 - 21:55 / gamesradar.com / Johnny Storm / Reed Richards
In October 4's Fantastic Four #12, the FF are facing down one of the most dire scenarios possible in the Marvel Universe: a Multiversal Incursion. But the worlds that are colliding aren't just run-of-the-mill alt-realities of the Multiverse.
It's the main 616 Marvel Universe and its very closely comparable sister-world where everything is the same, except that all the people, down to the heroes and villains, are freakin' dinosaurs.
Fantastic Four #12 from writer Ryan North (creator of Dinosaur Comics), artist Iban Coello, colorist Jesus Aburtov, and letterer Ariana Maher kicks off with the FF getting sucked into a dimensional warp that sends them to another reality, where people are descended from dinosaurs of all different species instead of primates.
As Reed Richards works to build a translator that will allow him, Johnny Storm, Sue Richards, and Ben Grimm to communicate with the dinosaur Avengers, the two teams find themselves in a classic Marvel mix-em-up, fighting it out over a misunderstanding. And back on the main Earth, the dinosaur FF mix it up with the mainstream Avengers in the same way.
Once human Reed resolves the translation issue with the dino-Avengers, the bulk of the story revolves around the human FF getting to know their new dino-allies and connecting with the families of the dino-FF. That winds up being the most fun part of the story, as Iban Coello's dino-fied designs for Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Thor, Black Widow, Doctor Strange, and Captain America really hit the spot.
Interestingly enough, this world does somewhat resemble Earth-99476 from 1992's Excalibur #51 in which the eponymous mutant team travels to a world with a similar dino-Fantastic Four and Spider-Man. It doesn't seem like this is the same reality - which means there are multiple dinosaur Earths in the Marvel Multiverse. And that's not even counting the prehistoric Earth-66, which is home to Spider-Rex.
It's also interesting to see Reed figure out just how closely related the two Earths at stake in the impending Incursion are - aside from the glaring differences in the population. And there's at least one teaser for an important ongoing FF subplot, with the dino-Valeria Richards asking Reed and Sue if their Franklin has "shared his big secret yet."
This presumably relates to Franklin's ongoing relationship with mutants. Franklin was initially considered a mutant in the core Marvel Universe thanks to his reality manipulation powers. Later, it was revealed that he only made himself seem like a mutant thanks to those same abilities, which have since fluctuated in potency.
Is there more to the story about Franklin Richards' powers and potential mutant nature? We'll likely find out more when the Richards kids and the

Red Dead Online players get a trick but no treat, with the same DLC pass returning for the third Halloween in a row
The relaunch of Red Dead Online as a standalone title in late 2020 was something of a false dawn for its ever-optimistic community. Rockstar maintains the title but has been in a cycle for several years of repeating content, and it could fairly be said that this playerbase has been surviving on rations ever since 2020. This led to one of the best in-game protests I've ever seen, where a ton of RDO players gathered together in summer 2020 dressed up as clowns to protest the lack of substantial updates.
