The Beat:

Ed Piskor’s X-Men: Grand Design has been one of the more interesting projects that Marvel has put out in years. A comprehensive history of the merry mutants through the lens of an indie comics auteur, the series has been both critically well-received and successful for the publisher, with issues going back for multiple printings. It’s not surprising that Marvel would be interested in trying to recapture that magic for their other properties, and today we got our first indication of where they might be looking next.

Tom Scioli (Godland, Transformers vs. GI Joe) tweeted the following with some pitch images presenting the origin of Galactus from a proposed Fantastic Four project.

Yeah, I can’t think of a project I’d want to see more.

For those unfamiliar with Scioli’s work, it’s as if a teen’s notebook went crazy. I highly recommend his original work American Barbarian, but also his incredible Transformers vs. GI-Joe series.
