In this episode, we roll out with Bob Budiansky and Simon Furman, the legendary minds behind the original Transformers comics from Marvel and Marvel UK respectively. With Skybound's massive compendiums reigniting interest in both series, we dive deep into how a Japanese toy line transformed into a pop culture juggernaut. Bob shares how Transformers first landed on his desk at Marvel and the challenges of writing 50+ issues while constantly introducing new characters. Simon discusses navigating the complexities of fitting UK stories around US continuity and eventually taking over the US title himself. Together, they reflect on their favorite characters, what made Transformers such a lasting property, and the creative synergy—and surprises—between their respective runs. It's a must-listen for fans who want to go beyond the robots in disguise and hear the human stories behind the mythos.  Skybound's Compendium Set Kickstarter campaign goes until May 7, so be sure to back it here before time runs out: http://kck.st/4i3ts31.Support the show

Settle in for a steak dinner with Marvel's Tom Brevoort as we discuss how a guy whose first love was DC Comics ended up at Marvel, why he hated his early exposure to Marvel so much he'd tell his parents not to buy them because "they're bad," the pluses and minuses of comic book subscriptions (and the horror when issues arrived folded), how Cerebus the Aardvark inspired him to believe he could build a career in indie comics, the most unbelievable thing he ever read in a Flash comic, how he might never have worked at Marvel had I not gone to school with Bob Budiansky, the prevailing Marvel ethos he disagreed with from the moment he was hired, what it takes to last 35 years at the same company without either walking off in disgust or getting fired, the differing ways Marvel and DC reused their Golden Age characters, how to prevent yourself from being pedantic when you own an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of comics, and much more.

Our salute to the 40th anniversary of Transformers continues with Bob Budiansky, the man who spearheaded the Marvel comic books which started it all. Music: Andre Jetson - Bipolar (Original Mix)

(00:41) -Mark Hodges gives us a preview of the upcoming spring installment of the Grand Rapids Comic Con. (8:59) -Graphic novel and comic book author Dirk Manning chats with us about several of his upcoming projects. (12:02) -Finally, one of the greatest living character actors, Mark Rolston, shares what it was like appearing in some of the greatest movies of all time, including Aliens, The Shawshank Redemption, The Departed and more! (19:58) Our podcast is brought to you by Able Ideaz, Greko Printing & Imaging, and Comix Well Spring.

They came out of nowhere, like a jolt of lightning in 1990. Packs of trading cards, but instead of featuring sports heroes, they were the heroes of the Marvel universe. That's right, we're talking Marvel trading cards with the two guys who did the heavy lifting for those early 90s sets: Bob Budiansky and Tom Brevoort! Celebrating the 34th anniversary of the first set (why wait for a round number?), we get into everything cards: how the project came about, how (and by whom) they were designed, making character decisions, soliciting the art, and where exactly they got those back-of-the-card stats. It's a crazy tale, and one we're excited to share with you! Thank you to David Harper and his 2014 article "The Secret Origin and Lasting Impact of the Marvel Universe Cards" (on SKTCHD) for inspiring this episode.___________________Check out a video version of this episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits.If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

In the final episode of our mini-series Class of '84, we look at two iconic franchises that launched in 1984: Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They came from opposite ends of the business spectrum. Transformers was a top-down marketing synergy between American and Japanese toy companies along with Marvel Comics to compete against He-Man -- another TV toy behemoth. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle would eventually rival them in cultural dominance, but it began with two indie comic book creators making a black and white comic as a lark. But Turtles and Transformers both ended up wrestling with similar questions around what happens when you put the cart before the horse in creating content to sell products. Documentary filmmaker Isaac Elliot-Fisher and Cartoon Art Museum curator Andrew Farago talk about the incredible rags to riches story of the Turtles creators, and how success changed them. And I talk with Bob Budiansky, who created many of the original Transformers characters for Hasbro and Marvel Comics. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Il arrive parfois que les comics décident d'embrasser de nobles causes. Mais pas toujours de la façon la plus judicieuse. Revenons à l'époque où Marvel pensait que la meilleure solution pour sauver la planète, c'était de filer des flingues aux dauphins… Si vous avez grandi durant les années 1980 et 1990, vous savez à quel point ces décennies symbolisent le règne des merdes en plastique. Depuis le succès colossal de Star Wars en 1977, et de la ligne de figurines commercialisée par Kenner, tous les fabricants de jouets cherchent la licence qui cartonnera auprès des gosses. Les Transformers et les G.I. Joe de Hasbro, les Cosmocats de LJN, les fameux Maîtres de l'Univers de Mattel, sans oublier le succès des Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles de Playmates, autant de bonshommes en plastoc qui envahissent la chambre des enfants et vident le porte-monnaie des parents. Paradoxalement, tandis que la promotion de ces nouvelles figures de la Pop Culture est assurée par des dessins animés diffusés à la télévision, c'est aussi à cette période que diverses productions commencent à sensibiliser le jeune public à l'écologie. De Captain Planet à Widget, en passant par SOS Polluards et certaines séries de Tokusatsu, les messages incitant les enfants à protéger la nature et la vie sauvage sont partout. C'est en 1989, dans ce contexte qui mêle surproduction d'action figures et éveil quant à l'importance de notre environnement, que Marvel Comics demande au designer Charles Viola de concevoir des personnages qui pourraient devenir une ligne de jouets à succès. Fort d'avoir su adapter en comic book les G.I. Joe et les Transformers, et de l'accueil commercial, quelques années auparavant, de la gamme Secret Wars développée avec Mattel, l'éditeur américain est persuadé de pouvoir vendre les droits de ses nouveaux héros à un fabricant de jouets pour une petite fortune. Il faut dire que, même si on l'a un peu oublié aujourd'hui, il fut une époque où la Maison des Idées était experte en matière de partenariats plus ou moins pérenne : de ROM le chevalier de l'espace, avec Parker Brothers, à Dazzler en collaboration avec Casablanca Records, en passant par la Saga de Crystar, avec Remco, Marvel Comics a, notamment durant les années 1980, multiplié les coentreprises à double sens, pour le meilleur et pour le pire. Le premier numéro de Brute Force sort en juin 1990, soit trois mois avant la première diffusion de Captain Planet à la télévision et plus d'un an avant son adaptation en comic book par Marvel, qui ne connaîtra que douze numéros, mais c'est une tout autre histoire. Pourtant, Brute Force n'est pas véritablement une série initiatrice de tendance pour la bande dessinée américaine, le Animal Man de Grant Morrison la précédant de plusieurs années. Elle est néanmoins totalement dans l'air du temps en ce qui concerne ses thématiques, même si son approche est largement perfectible. Scénarisée par Simon Furman et dessinée par Jose Delbo, la mini-série en quatre numéros s'ouvre sur l'attaque d'un laboratoire de la société Multicorp, dans lequel travaille le scientifique Randall Pierce. Une équipe de clowns armés jusqu'aux dents, sans doute échappée du fast-food du coin, fait irruption alors que le docteur Pierce pratique une opération extrêmement délicate visant à sauver la vie d'un gorille en le transformant en cyborg. Après que le commando costumé ait pris la fuite en emportant avec lui l'animal amélioré, Randall Pierce s'empresse de prévenir son patron, Monsieur Frost, qui ne semble pas vraiment paniqué par la situation, et lui interdit formellement de prévenir la police. Après quelques tergiversations d'ordre moral et un échange avec son fils autour des responsabilités qui nous incombent vis-à-vis de notre belle planète bleue, le docteur Pierce décide finalement que le meilleur moyen d'aller sauver son gorille est de transformer d'autres animaux, innocents et en parfaite santé, en machines de guerre. Surfstreak le dauphin, Lionheart le lion, Soar l'aigle, Wreckless l'ours, et Hip Hop le kangourou, voilà les cinq animaux qui vont former une équipe d'un genre nouveau : Brute Force !Désormais dotés d'une intelligence supérieure et de la parole, équipés de lance-roquettes, de canons lasers, et capables de se transformer en véhicules, nos cyber-animaux sont donc envoyés en mission en dépit du bon sens, sans aucune précaution ou prise en considération des dommages qu'ils pourraient causer. Des débuts difficiles, presque burlesques, tant les membres de Brute Force peinent à coopérer. Entre leur incapacité à utiliser leur équipement et leurs caractères incompatibles, cette première mission est un semi-échec, puisqu'ils ne parviennent pas à récupérer le gorille, mais réussissent tout de même à protéger le village d'une tribu amazonienne d'un groupe paramilitaire qui voulait les exproprier. On découvre à la fin du premier numéro que les mercenaires en question portaient de l'équipement conçu par Multicorp, et que l'homme derrière les malversations criminelles qui ont mené au kidnapping du gorille n'est autre que son président : Monsieur Frost ! L'épisode se conclut sur la première apparition de l'équipe de super-animaux antagonistes créée par Frost pour tenir tête à Brute Force : Heavy Metal !Un requin, un rhinocéros, une pieuvre, un vautour, et le fameux gorille capturé plus tôt, de “vilains” animaux qui ont à leur tour été transformés en machines destructrices.Dans le numéro suivant, le docteur Pierce se questionne sur sa décision de transformer les membres de Brute Force, tandis que les animaux cybernétiques apprendront à leurs dépens que leur nouvelle condition inédite ne leur permettra pas de trouver facilement une place dans notre monde. On assiste au premier affrontement avec Heavy Metal, qui a pour objectif de faire couler un pétrolier, et Frost parvient finalement à faire arrêter Pierce, qu'il fait passer pour le méchant de l'histoire. Le troisième épisode alerte le jeune lecteur sur les dangers de la pollution, en mettant en scène une créature mutante transformée par un environnement toxique créé de toutes pièces par Frost comme une simulation de l'écosystème du futur. Et enfin, le quatrième et dernier numéro oppose les animaux de Brute Force à de faux activistes anti-nucléaire, qui s'avéreront être envoyés par Frost, avant leur affrontement final avec Heavy Metal. Brute Force parvient à arrêter Frost avec l'aide du docteur Pierce, et décident de continuer à travailler ensemble pour sauver la planète, malgré leurs différences. Ironiquement, cet ultime épisode se termine par “The Beginning”, ou “Le Commencement” dans la langue du docteur Klein, mais la suite des aventures de Brute Force va se faire attendre. Brute Force est une mini-série pleine de contradictions. Pensée pour parler à un jeune public ; elle devait dans un premier temps être publiée sur le label STAR de Marvel, regroupant les titres à destination des enfants ; elle adopte pourtant un ton acide qui se moque des multinationales et de la malbouffe, dénonce les prémices de ce que l'on appelle aujourd'hui le “greenwashing” et va jusqu'à traiter d'écoterrorisme. Mais, en parallèle, Brute Force passe totalement à côté de son message écolo sur de nombreux points, à commencer par la nature même de ses héros. Protéger la nature en transformant d'innocents animaux sauvages en armes de guerre destructrices, un non-sens total qui ne semble interpeller personne chez Marvel. Pas plus que de propager un message totalement idiot à base de “gentils” et de “méchants” animaux rempli de clichés éculés : le sympathique dauphin contre le vilain requin, l'aigle majestueux contre le vautour malfaisant, et ainsi de suite. Tout ça est justifié de façon plus ou moins implicite par une formule que l'on pourrait synthétiser en “c'est cool, donc ça passe”, une vision décérébrée - et typiquement américaine - dans laquelle la violence et les armes règlent pas mal de problèmes. Le scénariste Simon Furman et l'équipe éditoriale formée par Bob Budiansky, Tom Brevoort et Tom DeFalco se renvoient d'ailleurs volontiers la balle quand il s'agit de déterminer de qui vient telle ou telle idée. Un peu comme si assumer la paternité de Brute Force n'était pas la plus grande fierté de leur carrière, et on peut le comprendre. La série possède quand même quelques points fort remarquables, comme les dessins de l'Argentin Jose Delbo, qui avait déjà œuvré sur les adaptations en comics des Transformers et des Thundercats pour Marvel, mais aussi, dans un genre totalement différent, sur Wonder Woman chez DC Comics. L'artiste parvient de façon assez surprenante à donner un peu de crédibilité à ces personnages, mélanges improbables d'animaux réalistes et de robots aux points d'articulation similaires à ceux de figurines faites pour être moulées à la chaîne. L'ensemble est plutôt agréable graphiquement, tout en restant assez enfantin dans l'esprit. Le fond est loin d'être bête et la personnification des différents animaux est parfois intéressante, notamment quand il s'agit d'opposer leurs caractères distincts et leur soif de leadership. L'écriture très directe des personnages se heurte donc à un aspect visuel digne d'une série pour enfants des années 1980, si bien que l'on ne saisit plus vraiment quel est le public visé. Les aventures de nos animaux cybernétiques s'inspirent également de véritables catastrophes écologiques contemporaines de leur publication pour sensibiliser le jeune lectorat qui, avouons-le, est certainement passé à côté de toutes ces références bien trop sérieuses. Une dichotomie qui n'échappe finalement à personne une fois passées les portes des bureaux de Marvel Comics, dont la stratégie commerciale vis-à-vis des fabricants de jouets s'avère pour le moins bancale. Résultat : Brute Force tombe dans l'oubli pendant plus de vingt ans. Exception faite d'une équipe de monstres génétiquement modifiés créés par Arnim Zola et affrontant les Thunderbolts le temps de quelques épisodes, en 1999, il faut attendre 2014 pour revoir la Brute Force originale en action, dans les pages du premier numéro de Deadpool Bi-Annual. Engagé pour empêcher des militants écologistes de s'en prendre à un parc aquatique qui maltraite des animaux marins, le mercenaire provocateur va faire face aux défenseurs de la nature : les super animaux de Brute Force ! Un épisode assez réussi et plutôt amusant, qui assume pleinement le côté kitsch de ces animaux robotisés, et dont l'autodérision, Deadpool oblige, contraste fortement avec le ton presque grave de la mini-série d'origine. Quoi qu'on en pense, ce Deadpool Bi-Annual officialise le statut canonique de Brute Force au sein de l'univers Marvel, chose qui n'avait jamais été clairement établie auparavant, et ouvre la porte à l'utilisation de l'équipe dans d'autres histoires. En 2019, le one-shot Wolverine & Captain America : Weapon Plus éclaire le lecteur sur les individus améliorés de l'univers Marvel, notamment sur la création des animaux de Brute Force, mais aussi sur l'existence d'autres super-animaux liés au programme Weapon Plus, comme Weapon II, l'écureuil qui possède les mêmes pouvoirs que Wolverine… Et oui, tout est possible dans les comics. Le sujet des animaux modifiés par la science est d'ailleurs assez vaste dans la bande dessinée américaine. Rien que chez Marvel, on pourrait parler de Rocket Racoon, ou des Power Pachyderms, une équipe pour le moins étonnante constituée d'éléphants exposés aux radiations d'une bombe atomique avant leur naissance et ayant développé des super pouvoirs. Un seul numéro de cette étrange parodie a été publié en 1989, et il figure sûrement sur la liste des armes de guerre interdites sur le site d'Amnesty International. Dans un genre beaucoup plus moderne, We3 de Grant Morrison et Frank Quitely fait écho à Brute Force en racontant comment un chien, un chat et un lapin sont transformés en machines de guerre hi-tech. Une brillante mini-série, aux thématiques très actuelles, dont je vous recommande chaudement la lecture. Si j'ai voulu vous parler de Brute Force, au-delà de son aspect déconcertant, c'est parce que cette série est la preuve que l'on peut réfléchir de plein de façons différentes sur la BD, même quand l'objet de cette réflexion paraît totalement idiot au premier abord. Malgré ses motivations mercantiles et sa combinaison aliénée d'idées contradictoires, la mini-série de Furman et Delbo lance quelques pistes qui ne sont pas intéressantes et restent très pertinentes trois décennies plus tard, d'autant plus quand on l'analyse avec un regard critique quant aux desseins initiaux de Marvel. Qui aurait pu s'en douter en 1990, quand ça semblait normal de donner un bazooka à un ours ? Avant de terminer, si les thématiques soulevées par Brute Force vous intéressent, je vous recommande d'aller faire un tour sur le blog de Ecologeek, une véritable mine d'or en la matière ! N'hésitez pas à partager cet article sur les réseaux sociaux s'il vous a plu !Recevez mes articles, podcasts et vidéos directement dans votre boîte mail, sans intermédiaire ni publicité, en vous abonnant gratuitement !Retrouvez le podcast POP CULTURE & COMICS sur toutes les plateformes d'écoute en cliquant ici !   Get full access to CHRIS - POP CULTURE & COMICS at chrisstup.substack.com/subscribe

The Baxter Building and the surrounding city block are stuck in the Negative Zone, and Lorrie Melton is missing her boo. Can the Fantastic Four overcome civilian insurrection, and the least important villain see in the Fantastic Four to date, and make it back home to Franklin? Doug Moench, Roger Stern, Bill Sienkiewicz, Joe Sinnott, And Moore (but actually Al Milgrom and Frank Giacoia), George Roussos, Jim Novak, Bob Budiansky, Jim Salicrup, and Jim Shooter present Fantastic Four #231 - In All The Gathered Gloom.

A lifelong love of art led Bob Budiansky to Marvel Comics where he spent 20 years drawing, writing and editing fantastic superheroes and supervillains. The Transformers, Spiderman, Sleep Walker and Ghost Rider comics have all been touched by Bob's imagination and creative sensibilities. Today,  Bob still draws, designs and teaches when he's not creating and supervising recreation programs for the Borough of Fanwood, New Jersey. But it's his legacy as one of the creators of the Transformers that commands the attention at the many comic conventions he attends.

Hello, and welcome to episode 362 of The Fantasticast. Each episode, Steve Lacey guides you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. This time on the Fantasticast, we discover what happens after an all-action issue. Yes, it's the inevitable exposition, and there's plenty of it. From decaying cultures in the far future to the inside of a black hole, this issue is not short of great concepts, but can they be spun into an engaging story that stands alongside it's predecessor? Uh... Doug Moench, Bill Sienkiewicz, Joe Sinnott, George Roussos, Jim Novak, Bob Budiansky, Jim Salicrup, and Jim Shooter present Fantastic Four #230: Firefrost and the Ebon Seeker. Featuring lots of blatant rip-offs of recent science fiction films, a gratuitous Avengers appearance, and an astonishingly awful UK Number One single. Well, that bit isn't in the comic itself, but after last week, you do deserve a bit of warning.

We're back – at least for this week – to bring you news of where we've been, of attending cons & meeting friends, Kickstarters you need to be in on, and generally have a catch-up in our first proper recording in two whole months.

Festive Clay Snuffling Hello, and welcome to episode 361 of The Fantasticast. Each episode, Steve Lacey guides you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. This week, the Fantasticast hits a new milestone - the first comic covered twice by the show. We looked at Marvel Two-in-One #74 almost an entire decade ago, and it's time to look at it in context of the run, and see if Steve has worked out just who the people at the party really are. Except that Steve isn't doing this along. Joining him for a thoroughly unseasonal Christmas bash is returning guest host Stacey Taylor. Host of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlor, Stace and Barry In The Morning, and new show Never Seen, Stace is back and delightful as ever. Together, they examine a unusual Christmas tale, as childlike wizards and bovine nannies meet the holiday spirit.  Mark Gruenwald, Frank Springer, Chic Stone, George Roussos, Michael Higgins, Bob Budiansky, and Jim Salicrup present Marvel Two-in-One #74 - A Christmas Peril, featuring parole, a guy with a big face and a lack of talent, all of the swears, uncensored smut, and... hold on, that's the hosts! In addition, Steve takes a quick peak at Avengers #206, as he forgot to do it last time. Fantasticast guest-host Christine Hanefalk has published her first book. Being Matt Murdock: One Fan's Journey Into The Science of Daredevil is now available as both a book and an e-book from Amazon. Do go and check it out!

This time on the Fantasticast, we must, we must uncover the mysteries of Franklin's powers, by dressing him up as Professor X (with handy replica Cerebro) and hoping that he isn't too unhappy about a burger. And if this doesn't sound too great, don't worry - someone's read some 'science' and is oh-so-eager to show off their 'research'... Doug Moench, Bill Sienkiewicz, Joe Sinnott, George Roussos, Jim Novak, Gaspar Saladino, Bob Budiansky, Jim Salicrup, and Jim Shooter present Fantastic Four #228 - Ego-Spawn.

A 'Masterclass' In Solo 'Podcasting' Hello, and welcome to episode 357 of The Fantasticast. Each episode, Steve Lacey guides you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. The show is back after a 2-ish week break, and this time, there's a dire need to wrap some things up. There's an unfinished three-part storyline in Marvel Two-in-One, which in turn forms part of an unifnished plot thread that has run through most of the 1970s.  The inhabitants of Hybrobase need curing, and the Inhumans have some unfinished business at their old gaffe.

David DeLaRosa submitted not just a question, but such a whole GLORIOUS stream of thinking that we wanted to have David join us to talk about his experiences in the hobby. Over an 80+ minute conversation, we get into how social media shapes your perception of collecting, about FOMO and about having a closet FULL of gorgeous cards he forgot he had. We have a ‘groovy' time and thanks for joining us David - our ‘tasting notes' this week features his whole post and can be found via our Facebook page.

In a different world, everyone would know Bob Budiansky's name. After all, this is the guy who, over a weekend (as he tells it), devised most of the names, personalities, and power ratings for the G1 Transformers we all know and love. That would be enough on its own. But Bob also was a force at Marvel, writing the original Transformers comic , drawing the final issues of the Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider series, and managing titles like Fantastic Four, Daredevil, and Spider-Man during a 13-year editing career. And did we mention he created Sleepwalker? Well, he did. 'Nuff said.Check out the Sleepwalker short film on YouTube.

Eavesdrop on a mid-'70s Marvel Bullpen reunion with Bob Budiansky as we discuss the vast differences between the hoops we each had to jump through to get hired back then, why the Skrulls were responsible for him liking DC better than Marvel as an early comics fan, the serendipitous day he attended a wedding and learned the origin of the Golden Age Green Lantern from its creator, why he stopped reading comics in high school ... and how Conan the Barbarian got him started again, which Marvel Bullpen staffer saw his art portfolio and suggested he consider a different career, what it was like to witness the creation of Captain Britain, how got his first regular gig drawing covers for Ghost Rider, his five-year relationship developing 250 Transformers characters for Hasbro, and much more.

We all make mistakes, but when card makers make mistakes, they can become collectors' items in their own right.

Today we continue our coverage of the ANNIHILATION SAGA, a project we're going to be tackling for many episodes to come! This week, we take a bit of a breather from the main action to delve into three mini series that are tangentially related to, or touched by, the Annihilation wave. "Annihilation: Silver Surfer," "Annihilation: Super Skrull," and "Annihilation: Ronan" were all wildly different from each other, but don't just take this description's word for it, go on and listen! Trade readers can find these in "Annihilation Book Two" or split between "Annihilation: The Complete Collection" Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.Also, a correction. Simon Furman wrote the back half of the original US Transformers line, many early Transformers UK issues as well as the beginning of the IDW stuff, but NOT the original miniseries. That was Bill Mantlo (#1-2) and Jim Salicrup (#3-4) followed by Bob Budiansky when it became an ongoing (#5-55).Next time, we will close out the first part of the Annihilation Saga with the main "Annihilation" series #1-6, "Annihilation: Heralds of Galactus" #1-2 and "Nova" (2007) #1-3. Trade readers can find the first two in "Annihilation: Book Three" or "Annihilation: The Complete Collection," Vol. 2 as well as "Nova" (2007) Vol. 1: Annihilation. Do not read issues #4-7! Those will be coming up in a couple episodes.

As we near the half-way point of the Morituri Mondays project, the stakes continue to rise!  In today's show, our "One to Grow On" character, Louis (Radian) makes some startling discoveries... and his methods might just wind up costing him his life!  Also, fresh off her Court Martial "performance", Ruth seems to be getting a bit of the stink-eye from the Paideia Brass and Commander Yuri!  Also still... Aline is still pregnant, and is growing more and more concerned as her clock continues to tick!  OH! And also... the Horde's gone and grown tentacles... what a sticky wicket, indeed! In other nonsense, we get to learn about Bob Budiansky, the Bronx, almost profanely overstuffed OREOs, Captain Power, and your hosts share their eulogy for Schitt's Creek! -- Remember to reach out to join the Morituri Cause and help us fight back the Horde!  DM @AceComics and @Charlton_Hero on Twitter to sign up!

Större delen av strålkastarljuset i detta äventyr signerat Bob Budiansky får Autoboterna Blaster och Goldbug.

Brutacus Is Silly But He Really Illustrates, etc. Hello, and welcome to episode 346 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. If you had bet money against The Salem Seven (as the cover has them) returning in a story featuring Nicholas Scratch, then your wallet is now a bit lighter. Every(no)body's favourite super-villain team is back to remind us all what makes them so unique, as they seek to aid Scratch in returning to Earth, taking it over, and making his facial hair the memetic piece of graphic design that he so wants it to be. Doug Moench, Bill Sienkiewicz, Joe Sinnott, George Roussos, Jim Novak, Jim Salicrup, Bob Budiansky, and Jim Shooter present Fantastic Four #223 - That A Child May Live, featuring a rebuilt and expanded Fantasticar, an ineffective prison, a demon hunter who arouses absolutely no interest from our hosts, and a reaction you'll have to hear to believe.

Superfluous Triton Hello, and welcome to episode 340 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. This week, we tackle the middle chapter of the Serpent Crown Affair. The Serpent Soci- uh, Squad are here to explain everything, destroy and oil rig, go treasure hunting, and exchange underwater punches with The Thing, Stingray, and special guest star Triton of the Inhumans, who definitely has a role to play in this issue, oh yes. Mark Gruenwald, Ralph Macchio, George Perez, Gene Day, Carl Gafford, John Costanza, Jim Salicrup, Bob Budiansky, and Jim Shooter present Marvel Two-in-One #65 - Serpents From The Sea, in which your hosts definitely know who each member of the Serpent Soci- uh, Squad is, and Sidewinder (we think) delivers the most gratuitous exposition seen in Marvel Comics to date. And, as a bonus, we also dive into one entire panel of the Dark Phoenix Saga, as we take an exceedingly-brief look at Uncanny X-Men #135.

Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. This week, we're returning to outer space to hunt down those who have stolen Counter-Earth, discover Adam Warlock's body, and get someone laid. Behold as plotlines from comics nothing to do with the Fantastic Four get explained and retconned while the star of this book stands around and listens. Mark Gruenwald, Jerry Bingham, Gene Day, Roger Slifer, Joe Rosen, Bob Budiansky, Jim Salicrup, Jim Shooter, George Perez, and Terry Austin present Marvel Two-in-One #63, in which a Warlock is not suffered to live. In addition, we pay a final visit to the Microverse (for now) as the Fantastic Four and the Micronauts team up to survive capture by the Psycho-Man, in The Micronauts #17.   Send in your feedback to fantastic4podcast@gmail.com, leave your comments at the libsyn site, or at www.TheFantasticast.com.

Laptop Or Cigar Box? Hello, and welcome to episode 329 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. How many issues of downtime do you need following one of the greatest stories of the late-1970s? We're glad the answer is 'more than one', as it allows to us to enjoy an evening in the company of Ben Grimm, Alicia Masters, The Thing's purple-and-green hat, and... waitaminnit! That's not a hat! That's The Impossible Man! Ralph Macchio, Mark Gruenwald, George Perez, Gene Day, Roger Slifer, John Costanza, Roger Stern, Bob Budiansky, and Joe Rubinstein present (and, for some of them, star in) Marvel Two-in-One #60, featuring the return of The Impossible Man, three unlikely villains, and an poorly-timed spot of life drawing. In addition, we revisit Spider-Man's first encounter with the Fantastic Four as to take a peak at What If? #19, and prepare for future episodes in the Microverse with The Micronauts #14.

In this first episode Kit and Harper dig into the origins of it all, box art, Bob Budiansky, and BFG's (Big F***in' Guns. Seriously, Megatron that fusion cannon is too large.). Plus, what we've been watching, reading, and talking about in all things Transformers. Topics include: Starscream found dead in Buffalo, Optimus Primes' deadlift, One Mech NASA, Horriblest of All the Decepticons, and Most Handsome Decepticon of All. Our theme and outro is Remember (The Synth-Pop Song) by Unsound on Jamendo.

Nose-Operated Alarms Hello, and welcome to episode 327 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. The Pegasus Project is over. It's time for some much-needed downtime for our hero, Ben Grimm. Maybe with some Conan the Barbarian comics. Let's hope that he doesn't get roped into a series os shenanigans involving a very unfortunately-designed piece of peril simply to save the life of a serial idiot out to prove his masculinity - that would be an absolute nightmare! Marv Wolfman, Ralph Macchio, Chic Stone, Al Gordon, Ben Sean, Irving Watanabe, Roger Stern, Jim Shooter, and Bob Budiansky present Marvel Two-in-One #59, in which being a man apparently means being a colossally-irresponsible pillock, being a cowboy means being out of control, being a detective means doing no detection, being a Fantasticast host means resisting an incredibly childish joke, and fire is not a universal cure.

Bin-Juice-Ridden Sh*t-Clothes Hello, and welcome to episode 324 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. Who's ready for an annual comprising two planned issues of the main title? Well, thankfully, we are, as we join Ben Grimm, Black(agar) Bolt(agon), and the master of gravity himself, Graviton, in New York, for a titanic tussle-'n'-throw-down. Allyn Brodsky, David Michelinie, Jim Craig, Bob Budiansky, Bruce Patterson, Irving Watanabe, George Bell, Roger Stern, Jim Shooter, and Joe Sinnott present Marvel Two-in-One Annual #4. Featuring: A rational and logical explanation for Black Bolt's electron powers, another explanation for those powers, a further explanation of those powers, a gravity arsehole, and somebody reverse-farting their way across New York.

The Unexpected Popeye Hello, and welcome to episode 304 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. Well, normally we would, but thanks to the a dose of real life, Andy's got the week off. That doesn't stop Steve from hitting the longboxes and diving into a strange tale (hehe) featuring Doctor Strange and Ben Grimm taking down a centuries-old necromancer in a creepy house ripped directly from an episode of Dark Shadows in Marvel Two-in-One #49, by Jo Duffy, Alan Kupperberg, Gene Day, Carl Gafford, Gaspar Saladino, Roger Stern, Jim Shooter, Bob Budiansky, and Al Milgrom. Joining Steve this week is Doctor Strange and 2000AD podcaster Conrad Leiden. Together, they examine the cartoonish, atmospheric artwork, the playful use of horror tropes, and what exactly constitutes a team-up when one of the heroes has no idea that the other one is there. As a bonus, they also dive into Godzilla, King Of The Monsters #20, where a museum turns out to be a terrible place to store a rapidly-growing lizard, and the Fantastic Four go toe-to-toe with one of the most iconic kaiju of all time.

In this week's episode of Off Panel, former writer, artist and Marvel editor joins the show to talk his career, the Transformers, and more. Budiansky discusses having his life dramatized in The Toys That Made Us, the origins of The Transformers (and his part in it), how he ended up at Marvel, whether he viewed comics as a career at the time, what Marvel was like in the 80s, Mark Gruenwald, how he started writing The Transformers, his approach on the book, why he left it, whether his relationship with the property has changed, the Marvel Universe trading cards he was the architect of, the Marvel implosion in the 90s, why he never returned to comics, and more.

It's a mind-bending episode as Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) read through issue 226 of Spectacular Spider-Man and try to untangle the mysteries of Spider-Man's Clone Saga! After some creator bios and back story, they do their best to detail the events of the Clone Saga and the drama behind the scenes that nearly spun it out of control.
