POPULARITY
An inside look at the most organic crossover of all time, featuring Marvel's biggest guns! Avengers/Defenders War came about from one writer's simple desire to have some summer fun for the fans in 1973! Plus, Marvel's Brian Postman remembered.
If you don't know who Matt Fraction and Brian Michael Bendis are, you probably weren't reading Marvel comics in the first decade of the 21st century, because they pretty much wrote all of the best ones. Two hundred thank-yous to Brian for making his second appearance on the pod, and to Matt for making his fifth (!!) for this milestone occasion!For an additional 45 minutes of bonus content — including the 12th part of the Avengers/Defenders War, plus our conversations about the evolution of storytelling, the 1973 box office, MacGuffin quests, onomatopoeia, how to encourage an artist, Harrison Ford, the sexiness of Namor, and Kurt Russell's grudge against Jim Bouton — support us at patreon.com/marvelbythemonth.

No writer had a greater impact on 1970s Marvel than "Stainless" Steve Englehart. From a four-year stint on the Avengers that included the Avengers/Defenders War, to the redefinition of Captain America and the original Secret Empire storyline, to a Doctor Strange run that is still considered among the character's best, Englehart entered just as Marvel pulled ahead of DC Comics in sales and helped to ensure they wouldn't look back for decades.For MORE THAN AN HOUR of extra content, including our discussions of Fantastic Four #125 (Stan Lee's last until 1986) and Avengers #102, as well as our rundown of every other superhero comic that Marvel published in May 1972, support us at patreon.com/marvelbythemonth.

In this episode, Adam Philips (president of Untold Stories Marketing) and Carr D'Angelo (owner and proprietor of Earth-2 Comics in Sherman Oaks and Northridge, CA) discuss the second half of the clash between Earth's Mightiest Heroes and the "Hey, we're not really a team" guys, as writer Steve Englehart wraps up his run on everyone's favorite non-team. This episode covers Avengers #117 and 118 and Defenders #9 and 10.
In part one of our two-part breakdown of the Avengers/Defenders war, Adam Philips (president of Untold Stories Marketing) and Carr D'Angelo (owner of Earth-2 Comics) look at the way it all began...how did Loki lose his sight? How did Dormammu know Hawkeye was a Defender when even Doctor Strange know it? This episode covers Avengers #115 and 116, Defenders #8 and 9, plus a quick side trip to Thor #207.
Joe Corallo and Eric Breen join Wes to talk about milestone in comic books, Avengers/Defenders War. When writer Steve Englehart approached Marvel to create a crossover between Avengers and Defenders they were skeptical readers would want to follow a story between two title. Little did Marvel Comics know Steve was creating a blueprint for the comic book industry moving forward. Crossover stories and events are now the norm for Marvel and DC Comics. The Avengers led by Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Black Panther, Vision, Scarlett Witch, Swordsman, and Mantis facing off with The Defenders led by Dr. Strange, Hulk, Namor, Valkyrie, Silver Surfer and Hawkeye holds up to this day. Wes, Joe and Eric discuss Avengers/Defenders War and the history surrounding a milestone for Marvel Comics. YouTube Channel: youtube.com/c/ThinkingCritical Support Thinking Critical at Ko-fi.

The Avengers/Defenders War finally reaches its conclusion! Hooray! Topics of discussion include: Dormammu's jumpsuit rom com, Cory sure doesn't like Hawkeye, Hulk dick punches an anthropomorphic dick right in the dick, and Iron Man being terrible at metaphors. So says Dr. Strange!
Aaron is joined by Kennie Pena as the two go through the entire Avengers/Defenders War set and review what is hot and what is not, before addressing questions from the Facebook page.
The Avengers/Defenders War rolls on! Hulk and Thor have a grand old time punching the bejeezus out of each other, and our hosts have a grand old time reading about it. Topics of discussion include: Hub and Cory are marketing geniuses, actual beach bunnies can be a real menace, Hawkeye and geese are the worst, nothing is tougher than a confident hugger, and a potential new segment. All this, plus Steve Strange's lizard pal, Hub slanders Uatu's hosting skills, and the hot new catchphrase "By my whole Dad!" Enjoy! Enjoy!
James, Tyler, and Jeremiah dig into the new set: Avengers/Defenders War, and discuss a bunch of their likes and dislikes.
Tyler, James, and Jeremiah play some games, spotlight the Maggia, and start to really get hyped for Avengers Defenders War!
Aaron is joined by Strike Force 5 team member, Matthew Peterson. While struggling with microphone issues and interrupting children, the two discuss their thoughts on Avengers/Defenders War, the current ROC scene, and address Listener questions. Apologies in advance for some of the extra noise.
The Avengers/Defenders War is nearing its conclusion! Hub shares some Easter fun facts, Cory wishes the issue was frothier, we introduce new lucrative characters The Boodle Bandit and Lil' Jimmy, that Evil Eye still looks like a robo-vagina, and Cory uses a veto which forbids Hub from editing out an embarrassing admission. All this, plus the best way to kill a nazi, a battle of the tiny winged heroes, and an actual conversation between adversaries! It's a frothy breeze! I'm sorry, Cory, but it is!
Lordy, Lordy, look who's incredibly hung over. Hub and Cory are still recovering from celebrating Hub's 40th birthday, so this is an...interesting episode. Our hosts take a look at the latest chapter of the Avengers/Defenders War, so topics of discussion include: money lending bears, Hub's mastery of the Spanish language, Dr. Strange's bizarre refusal to form Voltron, and why super-hero archers are always sexually harassing their teammates. Enjoy! Enjoy!
The Avengers/Defenders War is underway! Our hosts take a look at Avengers #116. Tangents include: the danger of cartoon eye shapes, Hub has a way with telemarketers, script problems with Legally Blonde 2, rock lyrics are dumb, wing hat envy, and Cory gives Hub way too much homework. All this plus probably some superhero stuff! Enjoy! Enjoy!
The Avengers/Defenders War is about to begin! Our hosts take a look at Defenders #8 (with just a smidge of Avengers #115 thrown in for flavor). Topics of discussion include: psychedelic ham chowder, mnemonic devices to help determine if mind control is being employed, garbage arrows, and morning DJ sound effects. All this, plus the debut of a new minutia segment! Pting! Boing! Enjoy! Enjoy!
Cory is back! The boys take a look at the delightfully wacky Defenders #7. Topics of discussion include: Hawkeye being the absolute worst, Attuma and his 'Rock'n Wrestle Connection' baddy buddies, Krush Groove, unnatural crustaceans, and the upcoming Avengers/Defenders War. Also, Hulk's favorite bean recipe, a contest winner is chosen, and Hub's new favorite villain is the Red Ghost. Phew! Oh, and there's also a double dolphin nipple punch. Enjoy! Enjoy!
It's the end of the Avengers-Defenders War! The teams stopped fighting themselves and had to stop Dormammu from conquering reality. The Defenders went off to the Crusades for no apparent reason. And the Avengers went to Rutland, Vermont to fight The Collector and leave Loki on a farm.
Part One of the Avengers-Defenders War! The storyline where heroes fight heroes for no reason whatsoever...well, okay, they're trying to gather pieces of the Evil Eye to turn the statue Black Knight back to the human Black Knight, but Dormammu and Loki are pulling their strings!
Annihilus Hamilton Hello, and welcome to episode 167 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. It's a huge week for the Fantastic Four, as the Annihilus story comes to a conclusion with Reed forced to make an impossible decision in Fantastic Four #141. We've also got a look at at an undressed Spider-Mobile in Amazing Spider-Man #127, and a quick look at the effects of the Avengers-Defenders War in The Avengers #118. With contributions from Gerry Conway, Steve Englehart, a departing John Buscema, Ross Andru, Bob Brown, and more, this is a packed episode. So packed, in fact, that we barely found time to abuse our e-mailers. Or to counter Gerry Conway's Wyatt Wingfoot-blinness. Or to experience compromised cryptography. And we definitely didn't forget - and then remember again - Janus the Nega-Man. Or Spider-Man. Ah well... Meanwhile, Steve's at the London Super Comic Convention, and would love to say hello to any listeners there. Grab him on twitter or flag him down and say hi. He promises not to bite. Or to get all nervous and flustered either... Send in your feedback to fantastic4podcast@gmail.com, leave your comments at the libsyn site, or at www.TheFantasticast.com.
