Join host Logan Janis on Mostly Superheroes the Podcast as he preps us for Marvel's new film, ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps', coming to theaters on July 25, 2025. Catch the Screen & Social at Alamo Drafthouse St. Louis. Film Overview Fantastic Four: First Steps updates the origin of Marvel's first family, combining retro-futuristic visuals with a modern take on cosmic threats and familial dynamics—all under the visionary direction of Matt Shakman. Fantastic Four in Media Here's the list of Fantastic Four titles in order by year: Fantastic Four #1 – Comic Book (1961) Fantastic Four (Hanna-Barbera) – Animated Television Series (1967) Fantastic Four (70s Unproduced Cinema Feature) – Unproduced TV Pilot (~1978) Fantastic Four (Jessica Alba Film) – Live-Action Film (2005) Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer – Live-Action Film (2007) Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes – Animated Television Series (2006) Fantastic Four (Reboot) – Live-Action Film (2015) Origin & Enduring Appeal Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the Fantastic Four first shocked readers with a unique origin—a crew gaining powers via cosmic rays during an unauthorized space flight. Their genuine human flaws, family bonds, and scientific wonder have kept fans intrigued for decades. Why Studios Are Committed Studios see unmatched narrative depth in the Fantastic Four. Their blend of family drama with larger-than-life challenges makes their story a rich canvas, one that promises both nostalgic appeal and fresh, character-driven action on the big screen. Our Prediction With Marvel's renewed focus and Shakman at the helm, First Steps is set to balance respect for lore with innovative storytelling. Expect a film that honors the past while boldly reimagining the team for today's audience.

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.

This week, the boys discuss the idea that the X-Men have become a stale IP, when they have been a great team, and more! The X-Men are a superhero team in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer/editor Stan Lee and artist/co-plotter Jack Kirby, the team first appeared in The X-Men #1 (September 1963).[1] Although initially cancelled in 1970 due to low sales, following its 1975 revival and subsequent direction under writer Chris Claremont, it became one of Marvel Comics's most recognizable and successful franchises.[2] They have appeared in numerous books, television shows, 20th Century Fox's X-Men films, and video games. The X-Men title may refer to the superhero team itself, the eponymous comic series, or the broader franchise, which includes various solo titles and team books, such as the New Mutants, Excalibur, and X-Force.Like, comment, and subscribe for more content analyzing the greatest tales of DC and Marvel stories.

Show notes provided by Arco EspositoAs comic book fans we all have a particular favorite era that we can either remember fondly or relate to in some way that makes it a bit more special than others. However, has there ever been a time in comics history that has graced the medium with as many memorable, and dare I say even legendary, characters as the run between Fantastic Four #44 through #66?? The Marvelous Marvel Minds of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby gave us the classic debuts of the Inhumans, The Black Panther and he would soon be called Adam Warlock! Classic villains such as Klaw and Doctor Doom would also feature prominently in a few stories but nestled in between all this grandeur was the piece de resistance, the jewel in what many call crowning glory of all that is Marvel: THE COMING OF GALACTUS! That's right! The world devourer and his herald The Silver Surfer made their way to Earth in a three issue arc, #48-50, and comics were forever changed. For how can mere mortals even comprehend let alone fight against a virtual force of the universe?! Stan and Jack showed us the way and in doing so literally opened up the universe and all its wonderful characters to us. Join James, Joe and Arco, your guides through all that is Cosmic Marvel and listen in to the awe, joy and appreciation of how the Earth almost being literally eaten turned out to be one of the greatest stories ever told!

In which Marvel Studios proves they can one-up DC in the ponderous epics department by releasing a two hour and twenty minute movie that feels longer than the seven thousand year timespan of its vacuous, shambling plot. They thought they where going to win an Oscar for this? The gangs all here to discuss all your favorite memorable characters like... uh, 'kingo', and... droog? Also: Male body dysmorphia, the empty themes, dry and murk cinematography, a sleepy and wasted cast, awful pacing, woke racism, the abuse of Jack Kirby's legacy and ask the question: All these movies suck, so why was this the one that critics and audiences turned on?

What's that Kirby Crackle octopus chasing Cap and Falcon? And didn't it used to be an oddly muscular, bald (naturally) corpse? It's Agron, who gives our heroes some headaches in Captain America and the Falcon issues 204 and 205. Not the best Jack Kirby Cap adventure ever, but it produces at least one wildly T-shirt-worthy … Continue reading #834 Jack Kirby's “Cap and Falcon” vs a bodybuilding corpse

Issue 194 - Thunderbolt Ross Intro Captain America: Brave New World reaction coming to Patreon Background (1:38) General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in The Incredible Hulk #1 (May 1962) Lieutenant General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross oversees gamma bomb project that ultimately leads to the creation of the Hulk (Bruce Banner) Grew up in a military family, and was focused on serving his country from a young age - joined the Army Air Corps (later Air Force) and worked his way up through the ranks Bruce's growing relationship with Ross' daughter Betty was a source of frustration and anger for him, as was the recurring nuisance of the Hulk - Ross made it his personal mission to find and destroy the Hulk Several times he allied with villains to battle the Hulk, which ultimately led to his dismissal from the military Betty and Bruce get engaged, but the Leader turns Hulk savage, and the wedding is called off - Betty later marries Glenn Talbot, and Ross is satisfied that Banner will never be his son-in-law When Talbot was captured by the Soviets in a rescue mission to save Ross, his apparent death fractured his relationship with Betty, as well as a demotion at work because of his inability to capture the Hulk Betty divorced Talbot and revealed she still loved Bruce - enraged by this, Ross allied with MODOK to have the Abomination kill the Hulk, but Betty caught wind of the plan and accused her father of treason - he was discharged from the Air Force and nearly committed suicide When Bruce and Betty get married, Ross shows up at the wedding with a gun to stop the ceremony - Rick Jones intervenes and is shot non-fatally In a SHIELD experiment he merges with Zzzax, a being of sentient electrical energy - in a battle with a mutant, he expends his energy to save Betty, and dies His body was resurrected by the Leader, and he rejoins the Air Force After Betty is killed by the Abomination and Hulk is exiled by the Illuminati, Ross sinks into an alcoholic depression - when Steve Rogers is shot, he is visited by MODOK and the Leader and offered a chance to gain Hulk-like powers - he then becomes Red Hulk, and his first act is to kill the Abomination for murdering Betty Ross' identity as the Hulk is kept secret for over two years before being revealed during World War Hulks He later joins the Avengers, where he befriended an LMD named Annie that helped give him some perspective and understanding about things Temporarily bonds with both the Venom symbiote and the Spirit of Vengeance, becoming a being known as the Circle of Four - this is to defeat Blackheart, son of Mephisto Gets depowered by Doc Green, a super-intelligent version of the Hulk Issues - Theme is “a small river flowing long enough becomes a canyon” (7:10) When tradition becomes a trap Overprotective of his daughter (13:44) Oh yeah, the Hulk stuff (25:15) Break (29:06) Plugs for Play Comics & Geek Peak Treatment (30:19) In-universe - Out of universe - (32:37) Skit (39:51) Hello General Ross, I'm Dr. Issues. - Doctor, with all due respect, let's set the record straight. I didn't come here for treatment. I came here for a clean bill of health. I've been involved in enough government missions, secret protocols, and super-powered expeditions that I should be the last one to hide from any flaws. I'm not perfect, but I don't have to be. And that was before I learned about getting red in the face. Well, that is a hot start, General -I don't do jokes, if you don't mind. There are serious matters at hand. But you…I'll keep that in mind. Sheesh. There are always serious matters at hand. That's how the world works. That doesn't mean they all have to involve you. -Agreed. I pick my spots. But those are enormous spots. I know my enemy better than they know themselves. That's what's lacking in battles nowadays. The foe has no concept of planning. So many people think being random makes you dangerous. It just makes you a fool. Well, not to sound condescending, but I doubt all of your plans go the way you want them to. -A plan is useless. PLANNING is indispensable. Do you know who said that? Dwight Eisenhower. So you enjoy the process necessary to reach goals, and not just the goal itself. -If I didn't then I would have stopped existing a long time ago. I think people get that wrong about me. They think I'm some madman that wants to destroy the Hulk at all costs. And that was wrong…how? -I was never a madman. I'm calculating the whole way through. The heat thing says otherwise -Emotion in battle, Doctor. It's something you can't wrap your head around. Oh yeah, I get the rage, but in the fog of war, that can be the guide to see you through. No hippie woo woo love fest is going to save you when bullets are zipping and bombs are dropping. The only time you bring in God is to say “Thank God it's over” and you've won. You present more demure than expected. -You sound like one of those Gen Z types when you say that. You're a grown man. Act like it. So no social media memes; understood sir. But are you really past everything that's listed in your file? Banner? Betty? Intelligencia? Avengers? It says here your own likeness was killed! None of that sounds traumatic to you? -Of course it does. So what? We all have trauma. I used to let it eat at me, just shove it down my own throat, and let it all come out when the time is right. But with what I have now, there's no secrets. It's on my skin, in my veins, and radiating through the air. I finally found a way to have nothing to hide. My choices, my fights, my consequences. Anything to add to that? You're hitting the same note. What brings you enjoyment? How about sadness? Do you have any fears left? -You're breaking the cardinal rule; you're supposed to ask one question at a time. I'm sad that too many people think too small for their entire lives. I find joy in being one of the few living creatures to destroy multiple so-called badasses because I can adjust tactically and not be held down by magical thinking. I fear that anything less than a perfect rating in this assessment will leave me with a permanent mark that will have me use your office as a rage room. *pause* Didn't you shoot someone at your daughter's wed -*interrupting* RAGE. ROOM. You don't have to be so pushy about it. -So, are you slapping the PTSD label on like everyone else? No, I'll think outside the box and go I-G-E-D. -What the hell is that? Intermittent Gamma Explosive Disorder -*Groans* Doc Samson was right about you.

After doing a stint on Conan the Barbarian for Marvel, Jason Aaron and Mahmud Asrar aimed to keep their collaboration roaring. They loved their time in Hyperborea but also wanted a realm to claim as their own and one where they could unleash their most vicious instincts. Bug Wars, their latest partnership, published at Image Comics, is the beautifully brutal saga of "The Yard." Here, in the tall grass, below teenager Slade Slaymaker's home, Beetle Clans rage against the Ant Imperium while the Systers of the Spyder whisper of a coming storm. We're excited to have Jason Aaron back on the podcast, this time bringing Mahmud Asrar with him. We discuss their fascination with "Oh, No! I'm Shrunk!" stories and why their version required a bloody battleground. Our conversation also ventures into why Bug Wars may be one of Jason Aaron's most personal stories and how Mahmud Asrar challenged some legitimate creepy crawly phobias to bring this tale to the page. This week's podcast begins with a discussion about our "Comics Will Mend Your Heart" 2025 theme and how it relates to the famous Jack Kirby quote, "Kid...comics will break your heart." When and where did Kirby first say it, and what was the quote's original context? We get into it. Bug Wars #1 arrives in comic shops on February 12th. It's written by Jason Aaron, illustrated by Mahmud Asrar, colored by Matthew Wilson, lettered and designed by Becca Carey, and edited by Heather Antos. Consider continuing this conversation with Jason Aaron via his Substack, Instagram, and Bluesky. Please do the same with Mahmud Asrar via his Instagram and Blueksy.
