This week on Fantastic Forum, we are taking a closer look at one of Marvel's most intriguing new limited series as Spider-Man, the Hulk, and the Punisher collide in an adventure decades in the making. In the spotlight is Spider-Man: Long Way Home #1 from Marvel Comics, written by Jonathan Hickman with art by Adam Kubert. Set in an earlier era of the Marvel Universe, before Frank Castle becomes the Punisher and when the Hulk is little more than a rumor, the story follows Peter Parker, Bruce Banner, and Frank Castle as they race through the jungles of South America in pursuit of a newly created Cosmic Cube developed by A.I.M. Each man has his own reasons for wanting the artifact, but only one can keep its unimaginable power from falling into the wrong hands. With Hickman weaving together three iconic Marvel characters and Kubert delivering the dynamic storytelling he's known for, we are breaking down whether this ambitious new series is the next must-read Marvel event.

Dave: Absolute Batman #18 (TONS of retailer covers but going with Dexter Soy) Chris: Logan: Black, White & Blood #3 (Chris Campana Variant) Interview: Phillip Kennedy Johnson 1. On Horror as Hulk's Natural State With Infernal Hulk, you've fully repositioned Hulk as a horror icon rather than just a force of destruction. What makes horror such a natural lens for this character, and what aspects of Bruce and Hulk feel newly unlocked for you in that genre? 2. On Marvel Exclusivity & Timing You're now officially Marvel exclusive while also wrapping up Book of El at DC. Creatively, what does this moment represent for you? Does going exclusive feel like narrowing your focus, or opening up the sandbox in a bigger way? 3. On Bruce Without the Monster One of the smartest pivots in this run has been stripping Bruce away from the Hulk and forcing him to watch the consequences. What fascinates you most about Bruce when he's powerless and confronted with what the Hulk becomes without him? 4. On Writing Other Heroes Judging Bruce You've written the wider Marvel Universe reacting to Bruce in a way that feels tense, even cruel at times. Why was it important that the heroes not simply rally around him? 6. On the Living City Concept The Living City feels mythic, grotesque, and operatic all at once. What inspired that setting, and how important is it that Hulk's world now feels almost biblical in scope? 7. On INFERNAL HULK #7 and the X-Men In issue #7, Hulk exerts mysterious control over mutantkind and draws them into the Living City. That's a bold escalation. What makes the X-Men the right foil for this version of Hulk, and how does their connection to identity and mutation complicate what Eldest is doing? 7. You and Ben Percy are both playing in Marvel's darker corners right now, and “Dungeons of Doom” has that same horror-forward energy we're seeing in Infernal Hulk. What's it been like working alongside Ben in shaping that space, and how do you make sure your vision of horror and mythic stakes complements rather than overlaps with what he's building? 8. Fun Silly Question If Eldest decided to build the perfect army out of Marvel characters purely based on vibes, who would absolutely make the cut… and who would Eldest reject immediately for being “bad monster material”? 9. Any other projects you'd like to plug?

2014 was a turning point for Marvel — and Axel Alonso was right in the middle of it.In this archival conversation, Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso sits down with me to break down exactly where the House of Ideas stood in 2014: the big swings, the new voices, the editorial gambles, and the seismic moves that were reshaping the entire line. We get into:The rise of the “All-New Marvel NOW!” eraHow Marvel was recruiting and developing its next wave of writers and artistsThe push toward diverse character spotlights like Kamala Khan, Miles Morales, and a newly elevated Carol DanversThe build-up toward Jonathan Hickman's Avengers mega-architecture and the early tremors leading to Secret Wars (2015)How editorial was navigating movies, TV, digital comics, and a rapidly changing readershipThe state of the X-Men and what Alonso could — and couldn't — say about their futureThe balance between legacy characters and new heroesMarvel's strategy for creator-owned-adjacent projects and keeping top talent in the foldIt's a sharp, candid snapshot of Marvel at a moment when everything was about to level up.If you love behind-the-scenes talk about how big superhero universes actually get made, this one is essential listening.

In Part 1 of this in-depth conversation, writer B. Clay Moore reflects on his early years as the marketing director at Image Comics during the early 2000s — a pivotal era when the company was reinventing itself around a new wave of creator-owned talent.Moore discusses working behind the scenes with emerging voices like Rick Remender and Jonathan Hickman, and how Image's independent spirit encouraged creators to take bold storytelling risks that reshaped the comics landscape. Moore also dives into the creation of his breakout series Hawaiian Dick, co-created with artist Steven Griffin — a genre-blending mix of crime noir, tiki-era cool, and supernatural mystery that became a critical and cult favorite for Image. He shares how the concept was born, how he and Griffin developed its striking visual tone, and how the book stood out in an industry dominated by superhero titles.The discussion rounds out with Moore recalling his collaboration with Tony Harris at DC Comics on the acclaimed JSA: The Liberty Files — a gritty espionage reimagining of the Justice Society set during World War II — and their later follow-up project, The Whistling Skull, a pulpy, post-war adventure that expanded their unique corner of the DC Universe.Part 2 airs tomorrow, covering more on Moore's creative process, later volumes of Hawaiian Dick, and his perspective on the modern state of creator-owned comics.
