Welcome back, Fantastic Four! A video on Thursday about some of Marvel Entertainment’s upcoming comics included a silhouetted image of the Fantastic Four, signaling their return to a monthly series beginning in August. The series will be written by Dan Slott and drawn by Sara Pichelli.

For those not steeped in comic book lore, the team features Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, who are married; the Human Torch, who is her brother; and The Thing, a family friend. The previous Fantastic Four series ended in April 2015 and in a story published in January 2016, the married couple set off to explore the cosmos with their children, while the other half of the team remained on Earth. “We always knew the Fantastic Four would come back,” C. B. Cebulski, the editor in chief of Marvel, said in an interview. “We were waiting for the right time and the right creative team to bring them back.”

Mr. Slott said the Fantastic Four were in the first comics he ever read back when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby had the team meet the cosmic entity Galactus in 1965. “I started my adventures in the Marvel Universe with a freaked-out Reed Richards, the Watcher and the Silver Surfer,” Mr. Slott recalled. “I’ve wanted this for so long.”
