Baxter Building, Episode 44 Aug 12, 2018

Show notes

Welcome back to Baxter Building, the podcast reading through the first 416 issues of the Fantastic Four! The episode so big we had to cleave it in two! This is part one of two, as Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester valiantly try to read--and make sense of issues #371-381 of The Fantastic Four by Tom DeFalco, Paul Ryan, and Danny Bulanadi! The FF drop out of the frying pan of a chromatic cover and into the fire of a prismatic cover, as our favorite comics magazine struggles to reimagine itself for the rough and tumble Nineties. Jackets! Masks! Boob windows! And a somehow perpetually underwhelming cascade of guest-stars, supervillains, fight scenes and subplots! We read it all so you do not!

Show notes

Welcome back to Baxter Building, the podcast reading through the first 416 issues of the Fantastic Four! Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester start in on the last leg of their trip through Fantastic Four, volume one, and read issues #356-361 by Tom DeFalco, Paul Ryan (no not that one, the other one), and Danny Bulanadi! What do you get when you expect the worst? Maybe something a little bit better than that? After months of dread, Jeff and Graeme find themselves less appalled than they were expecting, as the FF encounter the final secret of Alicia Masters-Storm, battle the New Warriors, find themselves lost in space, celebrate Christmas on Yancy Street, and mix it up with some of the most unimaginatively named supervillains of all time!
