Abrams ComicArts and Marvel Comics are excited to announce the publication of Marvel Dimensions, an all-new graphic novel written and illustrated by Alex Ross that twists the Marvel Universe in ways readers have never seen before. This follows Ross’ award-winning national bestseller, Fantastic Four: Full Circle, and brings an entirely new kind of storytelling to the growing Marvel Arts line. It will be edited by Charles Kochman, editor-in-chief of Abrams ComicArts and Ross’ longtime editor.
Buy Marvel DimensionsMarvel 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. A bonus 32-page comic book is included that is pivotal to the storyline.
The Marvel Arts line was created by Abrams ComicArts and Marvel Comics to give creators room to experiment with structure, format, and the visual language of superhero comics.
Marvel Dimensions shows how far that creative space can reach. Ross draws from across the Marvel Universe, including the Human Torch, Captain America, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Black Panther, Phoenix, Wolverine, and the Avengers, building a story that feels both classic and completely new.
Other books in the Marvel Arts line include the aforementioned Fantastic Four: Full Circle by Alex Ross; The Super Hero’s Journey by Patrick McDonnell; The Avengers in the Veracity Trap! by Chip Kidd and Michael Cho; X-Men-Elsewhen Volume 1 by John Byrne; Thor: Behemoth of the Black Moon by Eric Powell; and Doctor Strange: Endless Nightmare by Kevin J. Anderson, Raúl Allén, and Patricia Martín.
Ross’ long relationship with Marvel includes Marvels, the Earth X trilogy, and a vast body of cover art that has shaped how generations visualize these characters. With Marvel Dimensions, Ross approaches the Marvel Universe from a new angle with new character invention that invites readers to question what they think and what they know. Marvel Dimensions may be the latest title in the Marvel Arts line…but it is only the beginning.
“This is my longest work to date that I have written and drawn myself,” explains Alex Ross. “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.”
“It goes without saying that Alex is a once-in-a-generation artist and a storytelling master, and this book showcases that on all fronts,” shared C.B. Cebulski, Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief. “We’re thrilled to continue working with Abrams and Alex to bring his vision and legendary talent to the page, and we can’t wait for fans to dive into the masterpiece he’s created.”
Marvel Dimensions will arrive from Abrams ComicArts in September 2026 and is available for preorder now. A limited quantity of advance copies will be available at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2026. Readers can find updates and further details at AbramsComicArts.com and AlexRossArt.com.
