The Superhero Show #623Fantastic Four: Silver Surfer and Galactus's Introduction The Superhero Show — Silver Surfer and Galactus's IntroductionThis week, The Superhero Show continues its coverage of the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series with Episode 1.04, “The Silver Surfer and the Coming of Galactus Pt. 1.” The hosts dive into Silver Surfer and Galactus's Introduction, discussing the arrival of two of Marvel's most iconic cosmic characters and how the series attempts to balance universe-shaking stakes with some surprisingly mundane sitcom-style subplotting.From the awe of Galactus to the emotional weight of Silver Surfer's debut, the episode gives the hosts plenty to praise—but also plenty to laugh about, especially when the Fantastic Four somehow end up dealing with eviction notices in the middle of an incoming planet-eating apocalypse.In the second half of the show, the hosts continue discussing Ryan North's Fantastic Four run with Issue #4: “The Baxter Initiative,” a mystery-heavy story that reveals the emotional fallout behind the team's recent separation.Silver Surfer and Galactus's Introduction: Cosmic Marvel ArrivesThe hosts begin with a full breakdown of “The Silver Surfer and the Coming of Galactus Pt. 1,” focusing on the enormous importance of introducing Silver Surfer and Galactus into the animated universe.They discuss how effectively the episode communicates Galactus's scale and power, portraying him as less of a traditional villain and more of a terrifying force of nature. The arrival of Silver Surfer also becomes a major talking point, with the hosts discussing his tragic role as herald to Galactus and how immediately compelling the character feels.For all of the show's campy 90s animation quirks, the hosts agree that the sheer concept of Galactus arriving to consume Earth still carries massive weight.Cosmic Threats… and Eviction Notices?Of course, this wouldn't be 1994 Fantastic Four without some bizarre tonal choices.The hosts spend a large portion of the episode discussing the strange subplot involving the Fantastic Four potentially losing the Baxter Building while Galactus literally approaches Earth. They joke about how surreal it feels to cut between cosmic destruction and landlord disputes, debating whether the subplot was meant to add humor, fill runtime, or simply stretch the story into a two-parter.This leads into a larger conversation about pacing and structure in 90s animated television, where even huge Marvel events sometimes had to be padded out with oddly grounded side stories.Still, the hosts admit there's something charmingly ridiculous about the contrast.Silver Surfer and Galactus's Introduction: Character Reactions and First ImpressionsThe hosts also spend time discussing how the Fantastic Four themselves react to these massive new threats. Reed's obsession with science, Johnny's excitement, Ben's skepticism, and Sue's attempts to hold the team together all come under discussion as the hosts continue evaluating the show's evolving character dynamics.They also talk about the visual design of both Silver Surfer and Galactus, how faithfully the series adapts them from the comics, and why these characters immediately raise the stakes of the show in a major way.Ryan North's Fantastic Four #4: The Baxter InitiativeIn the second half of the show, the hosts shift to Ryan North's Fantastic Four Issue #4, “The Baxter Initiative.” The issue centers around the team reuniting to investigate what happened to Ben Grimm and Alicia after they become trapped inside a mysterious dome constructed from The Thing's own cells.As the mystery unfolds, the hosts discuss the emotional reveal behind why the Fantastic Four separated in the first place. Reed's experiment accidentally transported the Baxter Building—and everyone inside it—one year into the future. For those inside the building, no time passed at all. But for the outside world, an entire year went by where loved ones believed the people inside had vanished forever.The hosts praise the issue for exploring the emotional consequences of Reed Richards' brilliance and recklessness, showing how even heroic intentions can deeply hurt the people around him.They also discuss how effectively Ryan North balances high-concept science fiction with grounded emotional storytelling, making this one of the strongest issues of the run so far.Final Thoughts — Silver Surfer and Galactus's IntroductionBy the end of this week's episode, The Superhero Show finds itself fully embracing the weirdness and ambition of the 1994 Fantastic Four cartoon. Silver Surfer and Galactus's Introduction brings massive cosmic energy to the series, even if it also somehow includes one of the strangest eviction subplots imaginable.Combined with another emotionally rich issue of Ryan North's Fantastic Four, this episode gives listeners a mix of cosmic spectacle, comic book weirdness, and thoughtful character discussion as the hosts continue their journey through Marvel's first family.Are You a Research Nerd Who's Looking For More?Here are some links for all your research wants and needs!1994 Fantastic Four Animated SeriesRyan North's Fantastic FourJoin the discussions online! 1994 Fantastic Four Animated Series, Ryan North's Fantastic FourCatch Up On Past Episodes!Missed any of our past episodes?

Yes, we talk with screenwriter Craig J. Nevius about his career from writing plays in high school to casting Brad Pitt in his debut feature, 1989's HAPPY TOGETHER, to his beginnings with Roger Corman writing 1991's KISS ME A KILLER to 1994's FANTASTIC FOUR and, of course, the BLACK SCORPION franchise.Along the way we talk about the issues behind the infamous FANTASTIC FOUR production (and dispel some myths), what it was like working with Stan Lee, the difficulty in casting Adam West, what Craig learned from his years working with Corman, and, of course, Underoos.

The Superhero Show #622Fantastic Four: Namor's IntroductionThe Superhero Show — Namor's IntroductionThis week, The Superhero Show continues its coverage of the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series with Episode 1.03, “Now Comes the Sub-Mariner.” The hosts dive into Namor's Introduction to the series, exploring one of Marvel's strangest and most complicated characters as he makes his dramatic animated debut.From underwater politics and environmental themes to Namor's ego and deeply uncomfortable behavior toward Sue Storm, there's plenty for the hosts to unpack in an episode that is equal parts fascinating and frustrating.In the second half of the show, the hosts continue their journey through Ryan North's Fantastic Four run with a discussion of Issue #3, focusing on Johnny Storm's undercover life as “Jonathan Fairweather” and a surprisingly grounded workplace rebellion story.Namor's Introduction: Enter the Sub-MarinerThe episode begins with a breakdown of “Now Comes the Sub-Mariner,” as the hosts recap Namor's arrival and the escalating tensions between the surface world and Atlantis.They discuss the episode's environmental messaging, Namor's distrust of humanity, and how the show attempts to position him as both an antihero and a romantic rival to Reed Richards. The hosts also examine how the episode balances action with melodrama, creating one of the more memorable stories of the season so far.Of course, no Namor discussion would be complete without talking about the sheer amount of chaos he brings with him the moment he appears onscreen.Namor's Introduction: A Character Study in Ego and MisogynyA major focus of the discussion is Namor himself. The hosts spend time breaking down his characterization, debating what works about the character and what absolutely does not age well.They discuss Namor's arrogance, his constant hostility toward Reed, and especially his treatment of Sue Storm throughout the episode. The conversation openly addresses how aggressively possessive and misogynistic Namor's behavior comes across, with the hosts discussing how much of that is baked into the character historically and how awkward it feels in the context of the cartoon.At the same time, they acknowledge why Namor remains such a compelling Marvel character: he's unpredictable, theatrical, morally complicated, and completely convinced he's the smartest person in every room—or ocean.The Fantastic Four Dynamic Continues to EvolveBeyond Namor, the hosts continue tracking how the animated series handles Marvel's first family. They discuss Reed and Sue's relationship, Johnny's role as comic relief, and Ben Grimm continuing to provide much of the emotional grounding for the show.The hosts also talk about how the series is beginning to settle into its tone—embracing over-the-top comic book storytelling while still occasionally stumbling in its execution.Ryan North's Fantastic Four #3: Meet Johnathan FairweatherIn the second half of the episode, the conversation shifts to Ryan North's Fantastic Four Issue #3, which focuses heavily on Johnny Storm living undercover under the hilariously fake alias Jonathan Fairweather.The hosts praise the issue for giving Johnny meaningful depth outside of his typical “hot-headed younger brother” role. Working alongside regular people at a small business, Johnny becomes increasingly frustrated with the unfair treatment his coworkers receive from their boss, eventually helping organize a pushback against the toxic work environment.The hosts especially enjoy how grounded and human the story feels, despite existing in a universe filled with cosmic threats and superpowers. They discuss how Ryan North excels at making the Fantastic Four feel relatable while still embracing the weirdness of Marvel comics.They also compare this version of Johnny to the animated series version, noting how much more emotionally mature and nuanced he feels in the modern comic.Final Thoughts — Namor's IntroductionBy the end of this week's episode, The Superhero Show has plenty to say about Namor's Introduction to the 1994 Fantastic Four cartoon. Between the environmental themes, complicated character dynamics, and Namor's larger-than-life personality, the episode gives the hosts one of their most discussion-heavy installments yet.Combined with another standout issue of Ryan North's Fantastic Four, this episode delivers a fun mix of nostalgia, critique, and modern comic appreciation as the hosts continue their exploration of Marvel's first family.Are You a Research Nerd Who's Looking For More?Here are some links for all your research wants and needs!1994 Fantastic Four Animated SeriesRyan North's Fantastic FourJoin the discussions online! 1994 Fantastic Four Animated Series, Ryan North's Fantastic FourCatch Up On Past Episodes!Missed any of our past episodes?

The Superhero Show #621Fantastic Four: The Origin of the Fantastic Four Pt. 2The Superhero Show — Origin of the Fantastic Four Pt. 2This week, The Superhero Show continues its journey through the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series with “Origin of the Fantastic Four Pt. 2.” After the setup and cosmic-ray chaos of the premiere, the hosts return to see how the newly empowered team handles their first real challenges as Marvel's first family officially comes together.Alongside their animated series coverage, the hosts once again dive into Ryan North's Fantastic Four comic run—this time discussing Issue #2, where Reed and Sue find themselves trapped in a bizarre small town overrun by Doombots.Origin of the Fantastic Four Pt. 2: Becoming the Fantastic FourThe hosts kick things off with a full breakdown of “Origin of the Fantastic Four Pt. 2,” discussing how the episode transitions from origin story into superhero adventure. With the team now fully transformed, the episode focuses on their growing pains as they attempt to work together while facing the looming threat of Doctor Doom.They talk through the plot developments, the pacing of the episode, and how the series continues to establish the personalities and dynamics of the team. The conversation especially focuses on how quickly the show pushes the Fantastic Four into larger-than-life comic book action, embracing the exaggerated energy that defined many Marvel cartoons of the era.Origin of the Fantastic Four Pt. 2: Character Chemistry and Early Growing PainsThe hosts spend plenty of time discussing the characterizations in this second episode, debating which members of the team are already clicking and which still feel underdeveloped.Reed's overly serious scientific mindset, Johnny's constant impulsiveness, Sue's struggle for meaningful screen presence, and Ben Grimm's emotional frustration all become major talking points. The hosts compare the animated portrayals to other versions of the characters and discuss whether the show captures the “family” aspect that makes the Fantastic Four unique within Marvel.While there's definitely some camp and inconsistency, the hosts admit there's also a lot of charm in seeing these characters interact in such an unapologetically comic-book-style world.First Impressions of the Series So FarWith two episodes completed, the hosts pause to reflect on their early impressions of the 1994 series overall. Is it better than its reputation suggests? Does it lean too heavily into cartoon absurdity? Or is that part of the fun?This segment turns into a larger conversation about 90s Marvel animation as a whole, with the hosts discussing how Fantastic Four compares to other superhero cartoons from the era and whether the show has the potential to improve as it continues.Ryan North's Fantastic Four #2: Reed, Sue, and a Town Full of DoombotsIn the second half of the episode, the hosts shift gears from animation to comics with a discussion of Ryan North's Fantastic Four Issue #2.The issue centers on Reed and Sue investigating a strange small town where the citizens may not be exactly what they seem—and where Doctor Doom's influence hangs over everything through an army of Doombots. The hosts praise the issue's balance of humor, mystery, and emotional storytelling, highlighting how well Ryan North writes Reed and Sue's relationship.They especially enjoy how the comic embraces weird sci-fi concepts while still grounding the story in character interactions, something they note the animated series sometimes struggles with. The discussion also touches on Doom's presence in the issue and why Doombots continue to be one of Marvel's most entertaining recurring ideas.Final Thoughts — Origin of the Fantastic Four Pt. 2By the end of “Origin of the Fantastic Four Pt. 2,” The Superhero Show continues to find plenty to enjoy—and lovingly roast—about the 1994 animated series. Between the team's evolving chemistry, the over-the-top storytelling, and the fun comparisons to Ryan North's modern comic run, the episode delivers a mix of nostalgia, analysis, and comic book chaos.As the hosts continue their Fantastic Four coverage, they're clearly excited to see whether the animated series can grow into something truly fantastic—or remain a beautifully bizarre relic of 90s superhero television.Are You a Research Nerd Who's Looking For More?Here are some links for all your research wants and needs!1994 Fantastic Four Animated SeriesRyan North's Fantastic FourJoin the discussions online! 1994 Fantastic Four Animated Series, Ryan North's Fantastic FourCatch Up On Past Episodes!Missed any of our past episodes?

The Superhero Show #620Fantastic Four: The Origin of the Fantastic FourThe Superhero Show — Origin of the Fantastic FourThis week, The Superhero Show kicks off a brand-new series as the hosts dive into the 1994 animated classic Fantastic Four. In this premiere episode, they break down Episode 1.01, “Origin of the Fantastic Four,” exploring how the show introduces Marvel's first family and sets the tone for what's to come. It's a mix of first impressions, character analysis, and plenty of laughs as the crew begins their latest comic book TV journey.Origin of the Fantastic Four: A Classic BeginningThe hosts start with a full recap of “Origin of the Fantastic Four,” walking through the familiar but always fun story of how Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm gain their powers. From the fateful space mission to the cosmic rays that change their lives forever, they break down how the animated series handles this iconic origin.They discuss pacing, storytelling choices, and how effectively the episode introduces each member of the team. There's plenty of attention paid to the tone—whether it leans more into camp or sincerity—and how that impacts the viewing experience right out of the gate.Origin of the Fantastic Four: Meet Marvel's First FamilyNext, the conversation shifts to characterizations. The hosts dig into Reed's leadership, Sue's presence (and how the show handles her powers), Johnny's hotshot energy, and Ben's emotional core as The Thing.They compare these portrayals to other versions of the Fantastic Four across media, pointing out where the show succeeds and where it already shows signs of early inconsistency. First impressions matter, and the hosts don't hold back when discussing which characters work best in this debut—and which might need some time to grow.First Impressions: Camp, Chaos, and PotentialWith the origin story covered, the hosts zoom out to share their overall thoughts on the episode as a series premiere. Is this a strong start? Does it capture what makes the Fantastic Four special? Or does it fall into some of the pitfalls common to 90s animated adaptations?This segment blends critique with optimism, as they look ahead to what the show might improve on—and what they hope to see more of as the series continues.A Modern Take: Ryan North's Fantastic FourIn the second half of the episode, the hosts shift from animation to comics, diving into Ryan North's Fantastic Four run—specifically Vol. 1: Whatever Happened to the Fantastic Four.They explore how this modern take on the team compares to the 90s animated version, highlighting North's focus on character-driven storytelling, humor, and creative sci-fi concepts. The discussion touches on how the comic reimagines the team dynamic, balances standalone adventures with emotional depth, and why it has resonated so strongly with readers.It's a great contrast: the origins of the team in animation versus a fresh, contemporary interpretation in comics.Final Thoughts — Origin of the Fantastic FourBy the end of the episode, The Superhero Show delivers a strong and entertaining kickoff to their Fantastic Four coverage. From revisiting “Origin of the Fantastic Four” to exploring a modern comic run, the hosts set the stage for a series that promises plenty of analysis, nostalgia, and debate.Whether you're a longtime fan of Marvel's first family or jumping in for the first time, this episode offers the perfect starting point for the journey ahead.Are You a Ressearch Nerd Who's Looking For More?Here are some links for all your research wants and needs!1994 Fantastic Four Animated SeriesRyan North's Fantastic FourJoin the discussions online! 1994 Fantastic Four Animated Series, Ryan North's Fantastic FourCatch Up On Past Episodes!Missed any of our past episodes?

We are getting into the real meat of this Fantastic Four run. The team is torn apart, unhappy, and Reed may or may not be turning into a meth cooker. What is happening to our favorite family? And can Alex Power and Power Pack save them? Probably not the direction that the writers would take, but you never know. So, what is this issue about? It is about a family that is putting up a fight against a variety of forces. It is them against the world. A towering inferno of force against a wonderful family. Or something. OK, let's turn this thing upside down and talk about the rock in the room. The uncomfortable truth is that this is really bad. Everybody is not in a good way. One in prison, one with no powers, one with no children, and one doing science. Just bad, bad, bad. Sometimes we just need to watch what is going to happen. You need to guard against the inevitable onslaught of time. You need to protect against the truth. You need to secure the facts. Do you know what I am saying? You should fight and seize the day. You should gather your friends and become a mob for justice. That's right. Gather your powers and unleash them against the forces of the world. I dare you. And then, when the world starts to beat you down, take heed of this advice. Cover up and protect your privates. It is the best thing to do in these situations. And then, at the end of the day, you can celebrate with your friends. You can be pleased to know that you are alive and not beaten to a pulp. Or, if you are beaten up, you can shake it off and be happy with the fact that your nose is not bleeding anymore. Bravo, you have made it to the end of this rant. Here is to the next one.

The NFL Draft, Sal catches strays on another podcast, and the two disagree on the new Fantastic Four movie.
Welcome Back to Make Mine Multiversity: A Marvel Podcast! Each episode we'll be looking at Marvel books, old and new! We discuss fun Marvel comics, Marvel news, Marvel history and, now, are putting the "mine" back into Make Mine Multiversity. For those who're new, each month I talk with a guest about a Marvel comic that's memorable to them. Sometimes they're personally meaningful, sometimes it's "I read this a few months ago and its still sticking around."This month I welcome on Colleen Venable to discuss a comic I vaguely knew existed but didn't realize how much of it there was: "Alf." From sitcom star to comics "hero," it's everyone's favorite Melman. The two issues Colleen chose were, thankfully for me, X-men related.I'm not going to try to do any of the puns Alf is known for. I think it might do my head in.For some bonafides, Colleen is a comics writer and former designer for First Second Books. She's written "Kiss Number 8," the "Katie the Catsitter" series and is now writing the "Junie B. Jones" adaptations with art by Honie Beam (oh hey, there's an interview about that.)Next time: "Fantastic Four" (2022) #1-6 aka the start of the current era with Ryan North. Science! Comedy! Existential angst! You can find it collected as "Fantastic Four, Vol. 1: Whatever Happened to the Fantastic Four?" or on Marvel Unlimited.Elias can be found writing here at eliasrwrites.ghost.io. Colleen can be found on most platforms @colleenAF, on her website, and her books are in stores now! The big one's probably the Junie B. Jones adaptations with Honie Beam.Our theme music is “Excelsior” by Carol Romo and our audio editor is me, Elias.The show is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, (Stitcher is apparently dead and buried) and other places so please subscribe!
Come witness us open our first Topps product on the podcast – or at least listen to it – as Jason goes blazing like a human torch (see what we did there?) into a box of the new Fantastic Four set.Is it glorious, or too ‘Toppsy'?

This week on the AIPT Comics Podcast, we interview cartoonist Stephanie Stalvey, diving deep into her graphic memoir Everything in Color. In the conversation, Stalvey opens up about growing up in an evangelical household, unpacking purity culture, and how motherhood reshaped her understanding of faith and identity. It's an honest, vulnerable discussion about turning lived experience into art, and why telling these stories can resonate far beyond one person's life.

Dave: Feral #22 (Tony Fleecs & Trish Forstner Weapons Homage Cover) Alex: Wiccan: Witches' Road #5 (Karen S. Darboe variant) Interview: Stephanie Stalvey, EVERYTHING IN COLOR out 04/28/2026 Your book explores growing up in an evangelical community where love and obedience were deeply intertwined. When you look back now, how do you understand that relationship differently? One of the most striking ideas in the book is the notion that “our bodies belong to the authority figure.” How did unpacking that belief shape the emotional core of this memoir? Everything in Color is deeply personal, especially in how it portrays your relationship with your husband and your child. What was it like sharing drafts with your husband as you were creating the book? Your journey raises big questions about faith, doubt, and identity. Did you find yourself arriving at answers while making the book, or is it more about learning to live with the questions? The book touches on major shared moments like 9/11 and the COVID lockdown. How did anchoring your personal story to these larger events help shape the narrative? There's a powerful shift in the book where love, especially through motherhood, reframes everything as sacred. When did that realization first begin to take hold for you? This is a massive and ambitious work. Was it always envisioned at this scale, and how long did it take you to bring it to life? The title Everything in Color feels like a mission statement for the book. At what point did you know that was the right way to describe this journey? The artwork blends intimacy with emotional weight throughout. How did you approach pairing your visual storytelling with such vulnerable subject matter?

The Superhero Show #619Cadillacs and Dinosaurs: ConclusionThe Superhero Show — Cadillacs and Dinosaurs ConclusionThis week, The Superhero Show reaches the finish line with their Cadillacs and Dinosaurs Conclusion, wrapping up their full series coverage of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. After weeks of episode-by-episode breakdowns, the hosts zoom out to reflect on the show as a whole—what worked, what didn't, and why this cult-favorite 90s cartoon remains such a fascinating (and sometimes frustrating) watch.From character inconsistencies to unforgettable dinosaur chaos, this is the definitive sendoff for their journey through the series.Cadillacs and Dinosaurs Conclusion: A Look Back at the SeriesThe hosts kick things off by revisiting the overall arc of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, discussing how the show balanced big ideas—environmental themes, futuristic societies, and prehistoric creatures—with wildly inconsistent execution.They dive into the core cast—Jack Tenrec, Hannah Dundee, Mustapha Cairo, and others—pointing out how character motivations and personalities often shifted episode to episode. While there are moments where each character shines, the hosts debate whether the show ever truly locked in a consistent vision for its heroes.At the same time, they acknowledge the charm that keeps the series memorable: cool concepts, unique world-building, and, of course, dinosaurs.Cadillacs and Dinosaurs Conclusion: The Best, The Worst, and The “What Could Have Been”No retrospective would be complete without revisiting standout episodes, and the hosts have plenty to say. They highlight their favorite episodes that delivered strong storytelling, exciting action, or meaningful themes—while also calling out the episodes that completely missed the mark.A big part of this discussion centers on missed opportunities. The hosts talk about characters like The Griff, who made a strong impression but never got the depth or screen time they deserved. It sparks a broader conversation about how the show could have expanded its world and supporting cast to create a richer, more cohesive narrative.This section becomes a mix of praise, critique, and a little bit of “if we were in the writers' room…” wishful thinking.Cadillacs and Dinosaurs Conclusion: The Video Game Rules?!In a fun pivot, the hosts shift from TV to gaming, sharing their experience playing the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs arcade-style beat 'em up. And surprisingly—it's a hit.They break down why the game works so well: tight controls, satisfying combat, great co-op energy, and that perfect blend of chaos and simplicity that defines classic side-scrolling fighters. The hosts compare it to other games in the genre, arguing that it holds its own—and in some ways, even stands out.It's one of the most enthusiastic segments of the episode, as they celebrate how the franchise arguably found its strongest footing in video game form.Cadillacs and Dinosaurs Conclusion: The Draft That Started It AllBefore closing the book on the series, the hosts revisit the draft that led them to Cadillacs and Dinosaurs in the first place. Looking back, they question their own decision-making, joke about the chaos of the selection process, and seriously consider whether they can be trusted to run another bracket in the future.It's a self-aware, hilarious segment that longtime listeners will especially appreciate, tying the entire coverage back to its origins.Cadillacs and Dinosaurs Conclusion: What's Next — Fantastic FourWith one show wrapped, the hosts turn their attention to what's next: Fantastic Four. They share their expectations, hopes, and concerns as they prepare to dive into another comic-book-based series.Will it be more consistent? Will it deliver stronger character work? Or will it bring a whole new set of surprises (good and bad)? The anticipation sets the stage for the next chapter of The Superhero Show.Final Thoughts — Cadillacs and Dinosaurs ConclusionAs they close out their Cadillacs and Dinosaurs Conclusion, the hosts reflect on a series that never quite reached its full potential—but remains endlessly entertaining to talk about. Between memorable highs, baffling lows, and a shockingly great video game adaptation, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs leaves a lasting impression.It's a fitting end to their coverage—thoughtful, funny, and just a little bit chaotic—before they shift gears toward their next comic book adventure.Looking for More?Want to learn more about Cadillacs and Dinosaurs?

Your latest bit of precious ore from the Now We Know Patreon mines — it's our dive into Roger Corman's never-released 1994 Fantastic Four movie, which, depending on who you ask, was created as an exercise in rights management with no intention of every seeing the light of day (although they certainly didn't tell the cast or crew that). Would this have been the first great Marvel movie if the cruel forces of capital hadn't intervened? No!
Greg Weisman is an American writer, producer, novelist, and voice actor best known for creating the animated series Gargoyles, co-developing The Spectacular Spider-Man, and producing Young Justice, is the guest this week in Episode #741! We focus particularly on Gargoyles this time, a favorite of mine in both comics and animation! Greg has brought many other comic book stories to life, including the Gargoyles meeting the Fantastic Four in New York City. We talk about how Gargoyles came to be, who the characters are, and what the future might hold for these heroes of the night. If you enjoy excellent storytelling and compelling characters, be sure to pick up any comic that has his name on it, just like I do!

The Thing in prison!!!?? What dastardly devilry is this? Why would this happen? What is going to become of our ever-loving blue-eyed thing? Will he have to wear black and white stripes? is he going to shank someone? What will happen? Ok, we are not getting to the deep in prison stuff yet...but that is what is on the cover. I guess we do not need to wade into this yet. See what I did there...with the picture of Reed and his short pants. Well, it amuses me. It may not amuse you. In fact, it may anger you. I may make you so angry that you want to punch my head off. See, I did it again. I just cannot help making a dad joke now and then. Sometimes they come so naturally. Sometimes they do not. And sometimes they walk over and arrest me with a big, giant gun because the joke was so bad. Just like that. But I am not a big rock monster. I am not even a rock man. I am a rock dude. OK, I am not a rock dude. I am just a man, not a monster, so do not put me in the monster jail. See, I am a funny, funny man. Hey, what are you doing? Why are you coming over here? Don't push me to the ground! Don't take away my right to be not funny! Man, this is not funny. This is just like getting gassed by my own gas producing arrow. Why would you do that to me? Now I am going to cry. Sometimes I am just out of ideas, and you get these weird ramblings. We also have some merchandise over at Redbubble.
