Character Corner - A Podcast on Your favorite Comic Book Characters
We're continuing our Summer of Character Corner expansions with a new Character Corner/Comic Book Book Club hybrid. We're kicking off our discussion of Jonathan Hickman's Marvel run by discussing his wonderful Fantastic Four Run. Hickman fundamentally changed the Marvel Universe, starting in 2009 with Secret Warriors all the way through the 2015 Secret Wars. We'll be revisiting Secret Wars (And S.H.I.E.L.D.) next month and wrapping up with Avengers/New Avengers/Secret Wars. But we decided to start with Fantastic Four since the founding family of Marvel will be returning with their own solo book written by Dan Slott next month. Also, we've referenced this run a lot (From our Doctor Doom Part 3 to Black Panther to our Premium New Avengers/Secret Wars Comic Book Book Clubs) but we've never sat down and made it our focus. That changes now. Issues/Reading Order: Omnibus Volume 1 Volume 2 Dark Reign: Fantastic Four Dark Reign: Fantastic Four #1-5 Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman, Vol. 1 Fantastic Four #570-574 Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman – Volume 2 Fantastic Four #575-578 Fantastic Four, Vol. 3 Fantastic Four #579-582 Fantastic Four, Vol. 4 Fantastic Four #583-588 FF Vol. 1 FF 1-5 FF Vol. 2 FF 6-11 Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman – Volume 5 Fantastic Four 600-604 FF #11 Fantastic Four #600 FF #12 Fantastic Four #601 FF #13 Fantastic Four #602 FF #14 Fantastic Four #603 FF #15 Fantastic Four #604 FF #16 Fantastic Four #605 to #606 FF #17 to #18 Fantastic Four #607 to #608 FF #19 to #21 Fantastic Four #609 to #610 FF #22 Fantastic Four #611 FF #23 Like what you hear?

We continue our tradition of celebrating Marvel movies by looking at the time that hero took over the Fantastic Four. This time, it's Scott Lang's turn! The Fantastic Four have gone away for a bit and they've left some other heroes in charge of the Future Foundation to look after all those smart kids. Ant-Man, She-Hulk, Medusa, and Miss Thing do their best in issues 4-8 of FF (the 2013 reboot) by Fraction and Allred. The trade collection will confuse you by calling itself FF Vol 1: Fantastic Faux. Also, we continue our look at Crisis on Infinite Earths, with Issue 4, in which...the plot continues...? Next Time: Prez (2015)!
Fantastic Four Vol. 4 #1 from January 2013. "Unstable" by Matt Fraction and Mark Bagley. (plus FF Vol. 2 #1)
