Latest Episodes:

The Galactus Saga | The Fantastic Four #48-50 Sep 11, 2019

Show notes

This is it! The big one! Perhaps the most famous Fantastic Four story from the Kirby Era: The Galactus Saga. The long-winded, big-helmet-wearing, pantsless God-like villain known as Galactus shows up on Earth in order to... eat it for dinner. Along with him comes the Silver Surfer, and in battling him the FF meet one of the most powerful and popular villains in all of Marvel comics! Spoiler: hosts Kevin and Will love it!

The Man Who Has Every Issue of The Fantastic Four Sep 04, 2019

Show notes

We take a break from our already-insane (not) regular structure to interview our friend RAMSEY ESS, who has collected EVERY SINGLE ISSUE of the Fantastic Four. That's... crazy. He's a huge fan of the book, and we talk about it! All right!

The Frightful Four | Recap: The Fantastic Four #35-43 Aug 14, 2019

Show notes

Will and Kevin examine the first capital G GREAT long run of FF stories in this batch. Artist/co-writer Jack Kirby is getting into a groove as the action is non-stop, the characters have evolved and it is just plain fun! Plus we meet The Frightful Four -- villains featuring some of the silliest powers in all Marveldom!

The Invisible Girl | Analysis: The Fantastic Four #25-34 Aug 07, 2019

Show notes

Kevin and Will analyze the "getting good" run, including a deep dive on the much-underdeveloped character of the group: Sue Storm aka The Invisible Girl. Jack and Stan seemed determined to relegate her to "needing to be rescued" status. But was there something progressive by just having romantic interest part of the team at all? And was it revolutionary to see a couple get engaged, then married, then have a baby? All this and much more!

Getting Good | Recap: The Fantastic Four #25-34 Jul 31, 2019

Show notes

This is where the Fantastic Four starts to get good. We've got an awesome Hulk vs. Thing fight, the evolution of Dr. Doom, the increased powers of Sue Storm -- and a feeling that Stan and Jack are starting to really understand their characters. Oh, and there's Gideon, one of the dumbest ideas for a villain ever!

Show notes

Dr. Doom | Analysis: The Fantastic Four #9-24 Jul 17, 2019

Show notes

Kevin and Will analyze the bad issues. You can still see the elements that will make this series great. Ben's character is settling into place. The artwork remains strong (although the inking gets worse). The huge number of ideas is still impressive. And we take a deep dive into Doctor Doom who somehow evolves from hilariously weak to the signature villain in the Marvel Universe!

The Bad Stories | Recap: The Fantastic Four #9-24 Jul 10, 2019

Show notes

We go through a bad stretch: issues 9 through 24. Villains with ultimate power dispatched by... ignoring them! And also... calling their parents? Time travel only when you need it! Sue tries on wigs! COMMUNIST SUPER APES! Eeesh.
