Latest Episodes:

Bonus Episode | Watchmen: Issue #1 Nov 27, 2019

Show notes

Kevin and Will go over the first issue of legendary comic book series Watchmen. This is unrelated to the rest of this season, and just because the new HBO television series gives us an excuse to go over one of our favorite comic series of all time. We talk about Alan Moore's genius, Dave Gibbon's mastery, and what makes the finely turned watch that is Watchmen's world tick! We talk about the masterful FULLNESS of this world, the irony, the bleakness, the hilarious meanness! We get into problems with Alan Moore stories in general: the density, the dude-ness. We recorded this on Alan Moore's birthday and forgot to mention it!

The Fantastic Four: A Wrap-Up on The Kirby Era Nov 20, 2019

Show notes

We look back on the Kirby era. These 102 issues have been at different times: perfection, wildly brilliant, recklessly inventive, silly, downright dumb, out of date, ahead of its time -- but never, ever, ever boring. What did we learn on this re-read? And what next for the podcast? ALSO: We go over the "lost" Kirby FF issue, and the recent FF history recap comic Grand Design!

Jack Kirby's Final Issues | The Fantastic Four #97-102 Nov 13, 2019

Show notes

We finish the Jack Kirby era. An undersean man/alien, a plot to foil the moon landing, the Puppet Master/Mad Thinker's instantly failure of a plan, and the last issue by Jack Kirby. Plus Kevin breaks out a few character voices.

Gangster Planet | The Fantastic Four #91-96 Nov 06, 2019

Show notes

We are reaching the end of Jack Kirby's FF issues, and the stories are maybe getting crazier? But still good. We've got a gangster planet that has alien gladiators, a witch babysitter for newly-named Franklin Richards, and a guy with a monocle tries a dumb plan which does not work!

Baby Fantastic | The Fantastic Four #84-90 Oct 30, 2019

Show notes

Two story arcs: Doom hypnotizes FF but also plays piano for them, and then Sue rents what looks like a totally evil house and in fact is one. Plus some email in which Kevin and Will get schooled!

Wonder Gloves | The Fantastic Four #78-83 Oct 23, 2019

Show notes

Jack Kirby is picking up steam again! Although we're into a run where a high percentage of fights end the second people have a conversation. A moral lesson? Or hurried storytelling? YOU BE THE JUDGE! Plus Kevin and Will catch up on email again.

Galactus Has Shorts | The Fantastic Four #68-77 Oct 09, 2019

Show notes

Jack Kirby is starting his (slight) dip in story quality. Fewer new characters. Plots stretched over a couple of issues with little development. But on the bright side: Galactus shows up and he's still wearking shorts! That's fun.

Doom on a Surfboard | The Fantastic Four #54-67 Sep 26, 2019

Show notes

Past the peak, we move into some issues that we deem as "not bad!" Meaning, they don't change the very landscape of the Marvel Universe, but they are darn good Jack Kirby stories. We also see Dr. Doom on a surfboard, which Kevin hates and Will loves!

This Man, This Monster | The Fantastic Four #51-53 Sep 18, 2019

Show notes

Continuing this stellar run of Jack Kirby masterpieces, we review what may be the single greatest issue of FF ever - "This Man, This Monster" as well as the introduction of a little-known Marvel hero known as The Black Panther! Kevin and Will lose their minds and basically read the whole comics to you all.
