Episode 35 - Murdock and Marvel: 1992 Part 2 Well, here we are. Image starts a new creator-owned era, even as the man who created the superhero sensation dies, along with one of his creators. 1992 was a very big year for changes. This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 1992. The Year in Daredevil Appearances: Daredevil #300-311, Daredevil Annual #8, Punisher Annual #5, Web of Spider-Man Annual #8, Infinity War #1-4, Death's Head 2 #4, Fantastic Four #367-368 and #370, Alpha Flight #111, Marc Spector: Moon Knight #41 and #43, Marvel Comics Presents #113, Spider-Man Special Edition #1, What if…? #44, Daredevil Gangwar and Infinity Gauntlet graphic novels and Marvel Masterworks #21 and #22 Writing: Dan G Chichester (300-309) , Glenn Herdling (310-311) Pencils: Lee Weeks (300), M.C. Wyman (301-303), Ron Garney (304), Scott McDaniel (305-311) Inks: Al Williamson (300), Chris Ivy (301-303, 305), Bud LaRosa (304, 306-311), The year begins with the huge double issue that concludes the Last Rites storyline that began late in 1991. Daredevil has been enlisted by SHIELD to take down Kingpin and by extension Hydra who is bankrolling his media empire. Last week we saw the pieces get put in place and during our spotlight this week, we'll see how this terrific story ends. Next, we see Daredevil take on one of his oldest foes, the Owl, in a solid 3-book story arc. Outside of the spotlight book, “34 Hours” from May 1992 is one of the best single-story books in the last few years. In it we see Daredevil saving lives across a 34-hour timeframe. We are then introduced to a new villain, Surgeon General, who's picking up men in clubs, drugging them and then operating on them to steal body parts for the black market. To set a trap for the Surgeon General, Daredevil sets a trap using Peter Parker as bait. Fortunately for Peter, the trap worked with the help of Parker's secret identity, Spider-Man. Next, we get another multi-book story arc involving the Nomad and Punisher called Dead Man's Hand. This 7-part story arc that takes place in Las Vegas shows various crime factions all trying to get a piece of the Kingpin's empire now that he's not there to lead it. During this event we also see what has happened to the kingpin. Among the groups fighting for Kingpin's empire include – The Hand, Yakuza, the Maggia, Hydra, Hammer Industries, Andreas and Andrea Strucker (Known as Fenris?). This story was hard to follow as several parts of the story appear in other books (parts 3&4 were in Nomad & Punisher books) and part 6 was somewhere else but was communicated to the reader. After Vegas, Matt Murdock returns to New York and we finish out the year with a multi-book story arc with Calypso, the Nameless One and a Daredevil doppelganger known as Hellspawn from the Infinity War Crossover. This story centers around a Haitian refugee named Yves Chapoteau who is seeking asylum in the U.S. During the story Calypso performs a voodoo ritual on Daredevil and enslaves him to her. He is able to escape by destroying her magic soul-possessing jars which also free some other zombie refugees who attack her. In an epilogue of this story, we see two people digging up someone's grave. New Powers, Toys or Places: Back in Vegas for the Dead Man's Hand story arc. New Supporting Characters: Yves Chapoteau (Haitian refugee who seeks out Matt Murdock for his asylum case) New Villains: Surgeon General (woman seducing men and then stealing organs for the black market), Hellspawn (Daredevil doppleganger from Infinity War crossover who's killed by Calyspo) This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #300 January 1992 “Last Rites Part 4: Long Live the King” Recap Why We Picked This Story The Takeaway Writers still matter!

My Marvelous Year: This is a reading-club style podcast where Dave Buesing and friends chose important or interesting books from a particular year to read and discuss. This helped me remember some fun and crazy stories, and would be a great companion piece to Murdock and Marvel for those who want more comic-story-specific coverage. BOOKLIST The following books have been frequently used as reference while preparing summaries of the comic history segments of our show. Each and every one comes recommended by Dan for fans wanting to read more about it! Licari, Fabio and Marco Rizzo. Marvel: The First 80 Years: The True Story of a Pop-Culture Phenomenon. London: Titan Books, 2020. This book is sort of a mess, as the print quality is terrible, and Titan doesn't even credit the authors unless you check the fine print. It's like this was published by Marvel in the early 60s! But the information is good, and it is presented in an entertaining fashion. So its decent, but I would recommend you see if you can just borrow it from the library instead of purchasing. Wells, John. American Comic Book Chronicles: 1960-1964. Raleigh: Two Morrows, 2015. Not cheap, but a fantastic series that is informative and fun to read. Wright, Bradford. Comic Book Nation: The Transformation of Youth Culture in America. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2001. This is the revised edition. Marvel Year By Year: A Visual History. New York: DK Publishing, 2022. The academic in my rails at using information from any work that doesn't have an author credit, but this is a decent (if very surface) look at each year in the history of Timely / Marvel from 1939 to 2021. Cowsill, Alan et al. DC Comics Year by Year: A Visual History. New York: DK Publishing, 2010. Because its nice to occasionally take a peek at what the Distinguished Competition is up to. Dauber, Jeremy. American Comics: A History. New York, W.W. Norton & Company, 2022. An excellent, relatively compact history of the domestic comic industry from its 19th century origins through to recent 21st century developments. An excellent successor to Bradford Wright's Comic Book Nation.

In this episode, Laura< Krysta and Dean sort through the history of and surrounding the Radium Girls. But first, Krysta has facts about the fast fashion industry and how it's a lot more harmful to the environment than most people know. Dean suggest his theory that his clothing purchases have a lifetime contract with him as being so he doesn't add to the environmental harms of fast fashion. Laura calls bull on this idea and refuses to entertain it. From there, the trio go on to discuss the Radium girls and how five womenwere largely the reason the US government created OSHA, to protect workers who had been lied to or left unprotected by their employers. Join us as we look into the tragic history of the girls known today as the Radium Girls!
We are using a new service to edit these episodes. As part of the process it produces a full transcript. The transcript is not perfect, but it's pretty close! And we think we will get better over time. Transcripts will be included below. Enjoy!In this episode:Mike and Ed discuss the ending of martial law and the innocence of the Avengers. They were framed by Count Nefaria, but the events showed just how poorly the country was prepared for our heroes turning on us. And why were we fooled to begin with? Shouldn't there be some method of double-checking when a hero declares war to make sure it really is the hero? We live in a world of mind control, and magical and technological illusions. Some sort of back-up plan should be in place. Why wasn't it? Also: After causing a national state of emergency, why is Count Nefaria being deported rather than charged with the crimes he committed in this country? Do all Counts get diplomatic immunity? Even when they cause the Avengers to battle the U.S. Air Force?Behind the comic:This is the first appearance of Count Nefaria. He will soon battle the X-Men and Iron Man in a solo outing. Eventually, he dies due to his experiments, but is resurrected to join the Legion of the Unliving. While he never achieved iconic status, he is active in the Marvel Universe to this day.In this issue:The Avengers have successfully stymied American crime, and the Maggia is unhappy about it. Their secret leader is Count Nefaria, the most powerful crime lord on earth. He is also the wealthiest European nobleman. He decides to move to America, having his castle rebuild brick by brick in America. He meets with the Avengers and basically creates holograms of them. He sends thr hologram Avengers into the real world and has them basically declare war on the US. The US responds by declaring the Avengers enemies of the state. This all happens while the Avengers are basically kept in suspended animation. They are released from suspended animation and are attacked by American troops. They respond by battling the armed forces, only to find that they are public enemy number one. The Avengers eventually figure out what has happened and they confront Count Nefaria and defeat him. Count Nefaria is deported, and the Avengers are left with one of their own, the Wasp, having been struck down.Assumed before the next episode:People are happy the Avengers did not try to take over America, but they are not exactly comfortable with the idea that they could probably take on the combined U.S. armed forces.This episode takes place:After some major P.R. on behalf of the Avengers, the former, wrongfully accused, enemies of the state.Full transcript of the episode:Edward: All right, Mike. It was not mind control. It was not the chameleon doing an impression of them. But, the Avengers are not actually trying to take over America. It was all a false alarm.Michael: What an alarm. False alarm though. I mean there was conflict between the Avengers and the American militaryEdward: Correct. So the confrontation that happened in New Jersey where the Avengers fought the Air Force, that was the real Avengers fighting the real Air Force. They took down the planes. The Avengers, the real Avengers actually did go into hiding. They were at large. The prior where the Avengers actually threatened the Pentagon, the thing that started the incident that started all of this where the Avengers threatened America's democracy and tried to dismiss the Pentagon. Those were not the real AvengersMichael: is what we're being told. And it's just, but it's. I don't know. There's mistakes and then there's mistakes, right? like, I mean, so if there wasn't mind control and this wasn't, imposters, if this is just a misunderstanding, it's quite the misunderstanding. Cuz it's like if, the Grand Admiral, the Navy has a misunder, there's a misunderstanding about where their loyalties lie and the Navy goes to, gets into a scrap with the rest of the armed forces cuz the adventures are basically part of our armed forces. And it just , it just seems like something you have to be sure about and, you know, and it's like, especially given they have high security clearances.They're granted extraordinary powers. Masked vigilantes, that have effectively turned into an arm of a division of our government. And the idea that you just assume that they turned against you based on a misunderstanding. I dunno. It was blowing my mind, Ed.Edward: It's clear that, that we jumped the gun, right. To be clear this is Count Nefario, who is the, richest nobleman in Europe has admitted to causing all these problems. And what he did is he created some sort of electro images of the Avengers. An illusion effectively, that apparently had the ability to be seen and heard. And he sent these illusions at the Pentagon and made this whole thing start. But I guess the first question is why do we believe that? Why were we fooled by these illusions? is there not some sort of double check, double checking mechanism to be like, Oh, you know what? Captain America just said that he's declaring war in America. Let's call Captain America and make sure that this is the real guy. This is, we're sure about this. like what's the. Hey, Captain, before you declare war on US Captain America please tell us the code that we've given you to verify that you actually are Captain America. What if an illusion of the president comes in and says like, I want to fire a nuclear weapon. We have nuclear codes that he has to type in. So we can't get fooled by a president impersonator. Why are we being fooled by a Captain America Impersonation?Michael: Well, maybe this shows a bit of the naivety on the American military and government that they didn't have those built in redundancies or, backups or fail safes. Right. I'm sure that the American intelligence agencies are always checking to make sure that there aren't any slip-ups with people in high ranking authority, the American military and, government. That's the point of intelligence gathering operations to make sure you're not surprised. And I guess what this shows is that maybe there isn't, there wasn't that level of intelligence operations within the Avengers, which we know is, well, it's only five people. there's more to them than that. I mean, especially given their connections with Star Corp. So maybe it's just shows the naivety And then the next step is interesting competence. I think there's gonna be a crackdown. Well, there should be. There should be. Like, there has to be where you have to make sure. Sorry, but you, It's that the adventures themselves are gonna be like, under greater scrutiny and, they'll know it now because it's for their own benefit as much as anyone else too.Edward: I wonder how much of it was that, first of all, we didn't have the processes in place and we need to have those processes in place. We live in a world where mind control exists, where Mastermind is a criminal that the Xmen shared with us that can create these illusions.We, knew that, the ability to create, We didn't know about Campari's illusions, but we knew that there were villains out there that had the ability to create illusions. We needed to have, measures in place so we're not fooled by them. I also wonder how much of it was That people kind of just believed it without question, as soon as Avengers turned on us, it wasn't a matter of like, this is not possible. It was, Oh, this is happening. Let's deal with it. Like it feels when the top heroes in your country turn against you. Maybe we shouldn't have just like taken it at face value.Michael: I think, ready fire aim is not a good approach to dealing with people who have, you know, been rightly without it for being heroes. I mean, it was shockingly last time we were speaking about this, you know, we were, well, we were in shock, because we couldn't believe what was happening. And I think to be fair to us, it did seem that it was happening because you wouldn't assume that the American military would go to go to war with the ventures over a misunderstanding. So it is quite shocking. It's something that has to, that we have to, I'd imagine there's gonna be congressional hearings in this for years.Edward: A few other things that are worth talking about. So, number two is, when we last spoke, we talked about why weren't the Fantastic four and the X-Men called in to deal with this. Mm-hmm. , I think we've, we've found out now that they were actually specifically asked to step down. Like they, they basically were told to stay back and let the military handle it. And I, I. Number one, whether that, Well, first of all, was, was that a good idea in not, or should they have done that or should the process be in place that the other heroes take charge when that happens? Or number two is were there suspicions already that the Avengers kind of weren't the enemy here and that's why they held back the Fantastic Four as we'll use them if we need them, but let's just keep things under control and not start a superhero war until we're really, really sure that these guys are actually the problem.Michael: I don't know because my thinking was just that if the intelligence operations with respect to the Avengers are so piss poor, then I'd imagine they would be similarly, ine. For the fantastic for the Xmen, such that I don't think the military could really trust what they were seeing or what, or their, their past relationships. So my thing is they wouldn't bring them in because they didn't wanna compound the problem the way we were talking about it in our last broadcast, but who knows? I mean, what's sort of interesting is that there doesn't seem to be any kind of countermeasures set up for the avenger. because we didn't see that in the field. We didn't see, how Dr. Blake had created that Andrea that could effectively respond to Thor. But I didn't hear about that being put into the field.Edward: It just, what you're saying is that this was kind of like, If the Avengers or the Fantastic Four, the X-Men did turn against our country for real, this was the dry run on how we would respond.And like, I dunno, the grade is not a D minus. Do we give them an F? Yeah,Michael: It's terrible. It's terrible. And so, and I think I wouldn't probably chance bringing in other superpower people that might not be on your side. This is a huge deal. It's should shock the world into preparing countermeasures to combat the potential. Of the Avengers turning on us, in a democracy where we're set up with checks and balances, just doesn't seem to be any, for superpowered individuals still, and we've been talking about this for a long time, but there should be.Edward: And if anything I think makes it, it makes it worse because now imagine military recruitment is never easy, right? Recruiting kids to go and join the militaries is hard. You're asking them to potentially sacrifice their life for the country, but now they, number one is you can be called up if you, even if you're a reservist, they were called up in this situation where right reservists are rarely called up in this country. And so they were called up and then they're called to do, they're called up and asked to fight a mythical God. Like, like, like you're, you're talking some, some 18 year old kid and we're saying, Hey, here, here, take this rifle and you are gonna have to fight the God of Thunder. It's one thing to go up against,, Vietcong, or humans. It's another thing to fight a Giant Man.Michael: I know you're gonna fight somebody that can shrink the size of an ant and then grow to the size of, an elephant, in a matter of seconds. Or you might fight against, one of the greatest American heroes, Captain America, like an expert in hand, hand combat that to help bring down the Nazis. I mean, it's a lot. What we're really circling around is the fact that. We have in our emergency preparedness, we get a failing grade. And what's gonna happen now at Imagine is that there's gonna be investigations into why. And I think that all superheroes, no matter. Their past service are gonna be under greater scrutiny, and I would even suggest possibly greater control. At the same time, there's gonna be, a greater investment into countermeasures to combat them. Even though it turns out that it wasn't the emergency. We thought it was, it still wasn't very good. It's not good for anybody it turns out.Edward: And meanwhile, the guy who caused all this is Count Nefario. He's not being charged. He's being deported, but what he did caused, Well, it could have been worse. Right? The battle between the Avengers and the Air Force that happened that was caused because of his, actions. No one was, killed. But million dollar fighter jets were destroyed. And they could have been if it had been successful, if the Air Force had successfully killed Captain America, this guy would be directly responsible for that and we're just deporting him back to EuropeMichael: Well, don't ignore the fact that he potentially destabilized the world order…Edward: …with no consequences. It was just last week that we talked about, Bruce Banner being charged with treason. They charged the Avengers with treason. Now those, both, those charges, all those charges have been pulled away. I guess we can't charge them with, treason if they're not American, so I guess we can't charge count nefario with treason. But what's the equivalent of treason for someone who's not American? It's not being deported. It's, what? He's an enemy combatant now. Like shouldn't we put him into prison?Michael: I don't think he's, a diplomat or something. He's a rich European and I think a richEdward: He's a count, He's a noble. Do all nobles get diplomatic immunity?Michael: No, they don't. And so he committed crimes in America. So, sending him back to Europe is not what should happen. He should have been arrested. Maybe though, Maybe the American government was just sweeping us under the rug, because there's the reasons we've been discussing that. It was such a catastrophic intelligence military. Political failure, they just wanna forget about it. they wanna just move past it as if we should, which we shouldn't. I mean, this is so bad. He's clearly an enemy of America. We don't know the reason why he did this, but I can't imagine it's because he's got our best interest at heart . So why don't, we shouldn't, shouldn't there be, he should have been arrested or should have been a trial and there should be a further investigation. It's, pretty tough. But we'll see. tough day I guess, but we'll see. Cuz it's interesting for us, cuz we have a show about this, but you know,Edward: Never a dull moment Mike. Never a dull moment.Michael: Nope.

In this episode:Mike and Ed discuss the declaration of a national state of emergency, martial law, and the Avengers declaring war on America and democracy itself. Where are the other heroes?

Auf dem Lebensweg die richtige Abzweigung zu finden, ist beiden gelungen: Monika Gmür hat mit über fünfzig ihr altes Leben hinter sich gelassen und führt seither im Tessin ein Hotel. Thomas Scheidegger lebt seine Passion mit Theaterstücken, die in einem Steinbruch vorgeführt werden. Monika Gmür (68) Hotelière Mit über fünfzig Jahren verliess Monika Gmür ihr Haus am Zürichsee und wanderte zu Fuss ins Tessin. Das war ein symbolischer Akt, um ein neues Leben anzufangen. Vorher hatte sie zwei Jahre lang auf «Flipcharts» ihre Pläne geschmiedet. Ein Hotel sollte es werden. Das Traumhaus dazu hat sie in Maggia gefunden. Die Grenzerfahrungen des Aufbaus ihres «Casa Martinelli» in den ersten Jahren waren immens. Aber Monika Gmür hat es geschafft und ihr Glück gefunden. Die Tochter des legendären Tausendsassa Hans Gmür ist Mutter von zwei Töchtern und findet in der Natur an oder in der «Maggia» für ihren Alltag immer wieder neue Lebensenergie. Thomas Scheidegger (64) Theatermacher Thomas Scheidegger war Lehrer, als er Mitte zwanzig seiner grossen Leidenschaft nachging und in Paris die «Philipp Gaulier Theaterschule» absolvierte. Diese Zeit war richtungsweisend. Er gründete mit anderen Schauspieler:innen das «Theater Madame Bissegger». Viele Jahre waren sie als Strassentheater in Deutschland und der Schweiz unterwegs. Es haben sich damals immer viele Leute gemeldet, die Zimmer angeboten haben. Eine davon ist seine jetzige Ehefrau. Mit ihr zusammen ist der zweifache Vater Thomas Scheidegger längst ansässig geworden. Auch das Theater hat einen festen Standort. Bis im September ist das aktuelle Stück «Block» im «Steigrüebli» in Ostermundigen zu sehen. Die Gesprächssendung «Persönlich» von Radio SRF 1 kommt am Sonntag, 26.

Pesce d'acqua dolce, dolce miele, ottimo Prunent...oggi lo chef Oldani e Pier Pardo viaggiano in Piemonte, dal Distretto dei Laghi alla Val d'Ossola. Iniziamo con Gente di lago (vera e acquisita): Andrea Lo Cicero, ex rugbista e volto del canale tv Gambero Rosso ci parlerà della sua passione per il pesce di lago che condivide con l'amico chef Marco Sacco del ristorante due Stelle Michelin "Piccolo Lago" di Mergozzo. Da uno chef all'altro: Giorgio Bartolucci è il primo stellato della Val d'Ossola con il suo "Atelier" di Domodossola. Fatalità, lo chef Bartolucci ha frequentato l'alberghiero "E. Maggia" di Stresa che oggi ci regala con i suoi studenti la ricetta della Scarpazza, pietanza tipica ossolana. Si è chiusa lunedì a Milano Golosaria 2021. La rassegna enogastronomica di Paolo Massobrio e Marco Gatti è tornata in presenza con una grande partecipazione di pubblico. Massobrio ci racconta com'è andata e ci regala qualche chicca sui vini ossolani. Concludiamo il nostro viaggio con la nota più dolce della Val d’Ossola, quella dei suoi mieli: Rinaldo Delvescovo è uno di quegli apicoltori che porta in giro le sue api in questo territorio, a seconda delle fioriture, ed è il Presidente del Consorzio di Tutela e Garanzia dei Mieli del Verbano-Cusio-Ossola.

Hell0 2020, nice to see you! It's been a while, but we're back to finally tackle issue 74 of The Amazing Spider-Man with Stan Lee. Having bounced back from technical issues, we're here to read through the issue for the first time and watch on as Curt Connors - The Lizard - works to the Maggia's demands with the clock ticking.

In der neunten Ausgabe von Czech Contemporary Art in Berlin stellen wir die Malerin und Fotografin Eliška Bartek vor, die 1972 nach Westdeutschland geflüchtet ist und seitdem in Berlin und im Tessin lebt. Sie beschreibt im Interview sehr lebendig, wie ihr die Coronakrise den Abschluss ihrer dreijährigen Arbeit am Buch "Diario di Maggia" schwer gemacht hat, wie schwierig es für sie war, künstlerisch Fuß auf dernoch von nationalem Verständnis geprägten schweizer Kunstszene zu fassen und wie sie dann ihr Glück in Berlin gefunden hat.

The Susan Storm Affair Hello, and welcome to episode 323 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. After 88 issues, Marvel Team-Up finally gets around to featuring Sue Richards. Well, better late than never. She's joining forces with Spider-Man to escape the rigour of a society event, rescue her son, pay off the Maggia, and chew bubblegum. And, unfortunately, she's all out of bubblegum. Although, would the Maggia really have missed a few cents from the $3 million she'll give them? Chris Claremont, Sal Buscema, Eduardo Barreto, Bob Sharen, John Costanza, Al Milgrom, Jim Shooter, and Rich Buckler present Marvel Team-Up #88. In which some things happen, some of then which can be trivially described to create an alluring episode blurb, probably in a list. And Claremont does some great stuff with Sue's powers.

Our special guest host is comedian Robert Berry.

It is written and illustrated by Frank Miller.In this episode the gang discusses the era of Batman comic books when The Dark Knight Returns debuted; the early leanings of Frank Miller's harsher world view he has come to exhibit later in life; the redemption and fall of Harvey Dent; the influence this book had on live-action TV and movie versions of Batman; the evolution of the Batmobile to the Bat-Tank; the possible tactical reasons Robin is always a child and wears a bright costume; the brutal tactics Batman uses later in his life; the argument that this Batman is the result of a Bruce Wayne's midlife crisis; The Joker and Batman's final showdown in the Tunnel of Love; Superman's role in the government and how that plays out with Batman; why you can mess with the “Maggia” but not the Mafia; and the storytelling and the art of The Dark Knight Returns.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/graphicnovelexplorersclub/message See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Cory and Hub take a look at the weird, but perhaps not as weird as it would like to be, Defenders #30! Fortunately, our hosts are perhaps a bit weirder than they'd like to be, so everything evens out. Topics of discussion include: Life Hacks for bad people, Mr. Magoo as a political allegory, the origin of the Maggia, Eric Van Lustbader novels, and how to order a drink in a bar! All this plus a new Hulkz Roolz and Hub is unreasonably harsh about regional community theater. Good Health, and Good Hat!
Marvel fans should be sure to check out Duane’s Pick of the Week, Spider-Man: Forever Young! Created from Marvel’s prose novel by veteran comic writer Stefan Petrucha, this one is based on classic story arc from late 60’s entitled the "Stone Tablet Saga." In Forever Young, we see Spidey’s bad luck reach all-time highs, as he is caught up in a battle royal between the Kingpin and the Maggia crime outfit, who are vying for possession of a mysterious tablet. Things get even worse for his alter ego, Peter Parker, who finds himself at odds with his close friends, including the love of his life, Gwen Stacy. As a huge Spider-Man fan, who is quite familiar with the ‘60s storyline, Duane was thrilled to hear this one in the GraphicAudio format. He says, "Director Scott McCormick and Sound Designer Justin Wortz do their magic once again to deliver a very entertaining production...By all means, you need to cop a copy of Spider-Man: Forever Young!"

Post-Trailer Comedown Hello, and welcome to episode 116 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. It's time to take a look at the penultimate Jack Kirby-penciled issue of the Fantastic Four, issue #101. The Maggia have their eyes on the Baxter Building, and will stop at nothing, including murder, to get their hands on the contents of Reed's laboratory. It's a small but effective tale, and a late burst of quality from these final issues. And if it's quality that you like, then you'll barely tolerate the existence of Amazing Adventures #1. The Inhumans are given their own solo strip for the second time, and Jack's been allowed to write and pencil. Unfortunately, it's a bit of a muddled mess, with inappropriate colouring and heavy inking doing their best to drown Kirby's work. We're also taking the time to plug a kickstarter for an audio SF comedy series called Ray Gunn and Starburst. Written by Holly Rose, and featuring the voice of Fantasticast guest-host David Wynne, this is a fun project. Check out the kickstarter and help Holly get the funding at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/703821617/ray-gunn-and-starburst Send in your feedback to fantastic4podcast@gmail.com, leave your comments at the libsyn site, or at fantasticflameon.wordpress.com.

Hell0 2020, nice to see you! It's been a while, but we're back to finally tackle issue 74 of The Amazing Spider-Man with Stan Lee. Having bounced back from technical issues, we're here to read through the issue for the first time and watch on as Curt Connors - The Lizard - works to the Maggia's demands with the clock ticking.
