Marvel is bringing a fresh twist to its storytelling strategy by officially connecting its comics to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Announced today, The Fantastic Four: First Steps #1 will serve as a direct prequel to the upcoming Fantastic Four movie, giving fans a look at the team's earliest days before they hit the big screen next year.Set four years before the film's events, First Steps is penned by acclaimed writer Matt Fraction (Hawkeye) and illustrated by Mark Buckingham (Fables). The one-shot promises to dive into the Fantastic Four's first mission, offering a grounded look at how Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm became the world's most famous superhero family.One of the standout elements is the comic's cover, crafted by Phil Noto, which pays tribute to the iconic 1961 debut of the Fantastic Four by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. It is a respectful nod to the team's rich comic book legacy while also establishing them firmly within the MCU's expanding canon.While Marvel has occasionally released tie-in comics for past MCU films, First Steps feels like a bigger step toward fully fleshing out the universe between movie releases. Matt Fraction even teased in a statement that this project could be “the start of something big,” hinting that more MCU-connected comics might be on the horizon.With the Fantastic Four film expected to largely skip over the team's traditional origin story, this comic fills an important gap for fans eager to see how Marvel's First Family got their start in this new cinematic timeline.The Fantastic Four: First Steps #1 hits comic book shops on July 2, 2025, just weeks ahead of the movie's release.

In this episode of SuperHero Homies, we continue our countdown to Fantastic Four: First Steps by diving into the 2005 Fantastic Four movie! As part of our ongoing Fantastic Four movie retrospective, we follow up our review of the 1994 unreleased cult classic by tackling this mid-2000s Marvel blockbuster featuring Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chiklis. We break down the major scenes and plot points, examine the character dynamics between Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm, and talk about how the film handled Doctor Doom. From the cheesy one-liners to the special effects of the time, we take a fun, lighthearted, and sometimes brutally honest look at what worked—and what didn't—in this early attempt to bring Marvel's First Family to life on the big screen. With our signature humor and in-depth comic book knowledge, this episode is perfect for fans of superhero movies, Marvel lore, and pop culture throwbacks.

In the explosive Season 7 premiere of Smallville, “Bizarro,” Clark faces his most dangerous threat yet—a Kryptonian clone with all his powers and none of his morals.

With Bizarro growing stronger from kryptonite and Clark weakened, only sunlight—and help from the Martian Manhunter—can tip the scales. Meanwhile, Chloe's resurrection reveals her meteor ability, and a shocking twist confirms Lana Lang is alive and hiding in Shanghai. Join us as we break down all the action, secrets, and cliffhangers in this Smallville Season 7 premiere rewatch!GET YOUR 30 DAY FREE TRIAL OF AMAZON PRIME HERE

There's a bit of a hiccup in our schedule so it's time for another round of [R]OHOTMU but at least it fits in with the current Captain America story we are working with.This week, we find out what the deal is with professional wrestler/super-villain LETHA.

After that, she has to contend with Dazzler while in the slammer like some sort of 1970s prison exploitation movie. And then on top of all THAT, she ends up getting murdered in Ohio. At least she got to give Quasar an atomic noogie.Be here next week as we continue with Captain America and the Scourge of the Underworld!Promo: CAPES ON THE COUCH (https://capesonthecouch.live/)Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter (X) @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield and email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.comAlso, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.
