The Superhero Show #625Fantastic Four: Disney's Secret EpisodeThe Superhero Show — Disney's Secret EpisodeThis week, The Superhero Show tackles one of the most curious entries in the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series: “Incursion of the Skrulls,” better known among fans as Disney's Secret Episode. While the episode was once available alongside the rest of the series, it later disappeared from streaming platforms due to imagery that became unexpectedly sensitive following real-world events. The hosts discuss the episode's unusual history, its place within the series, and whether its reputation as the “missing episode” is more interesting than the episode itself.Along the way, they dive into shape-shifting aliens, increasingly absurd infiltration plans, and one of the strangest examples of Reed Richards being rewarded for... well, pretty much everything.In the second half of the show, the hosts continue their read-through of Ryan North's Fantastic Four with Issue #6, “A Shot in the Dark,” a story that showcases just how powerful Sue Storm really is—and why that realization starts making certain organizations very nervous.Disney's Secret Episode: The Skrulls Have ArrivedThe hosts begin with a breakdown of “Incursion of the Skrulls,” introducing the Fantastic Four's first encounter with Marvel's famous shape-shifting alien empire.They discuss how the episode portrays the Skrulls, from their constant scheming and internal rivalries to their often questionable decision-making. The conversation highlights how the cartoon leans heavily into the comedic side of the Skrulls while still presenting them as a genuine threat.The hosts especially enjoy examining the relationships between the various Skrull characters, whose constant bickering and incompetence frequently undermine their own invasion plans.Disney's Secret Episode: The Most Complicated Impersonation Plan EverOne of the biggest talking points of the episode is the wonderfully ridiculous central plot.After learning that the Skrulls plan to impersonate the Fantastic Four on Earth, the Fantastic Four decide to impersonate the Skrulls who are planning to impersonate them. The resulting layers of deception create a level of comic-book logic that the hosts find impossible not to love.They break down the increasingly convoluted disguises, mistaken identities, and absurd scenarios that emerge from this setup, arguing that it perfectly captures both the strengths and weaknesses of the 1994 series. It's silly, overcomplicated, and somehow incredibly entertaining.Disney's Secret Episode: Reed Richards, Hero of Literally EveryoneThe hosts also spend time discussing one of the episode's most amusing developments: Reed Richards somehow earning an astonishing amount of praise and recognition from the Skrulls.Whether through diplomacy, science, luck, or sheer protagonist energy, Reed repeatedly finds himself being celebrated by people who should technically be his enemies. The hosts joke about Reed's ability to stumble into honorary titles, medals, and accolades regardless of which planet he's standing on.This becomes a larger conversation about how the animated series often portrays Reed as the smartest and most respected person in every room—and occasionally every galaxy.The Episode That Quietly DisappearedNo discussion of Disney's Secret Episode would be complete without addressing its unusual streaming history.Without focusing too heavily on the specifics, the hosts discuss how certain scenes involving a recognizable New York skyline became far more sensitive after major historical events. As a result, the episode has largely remained absent from some modern streaming releases despite being a regular part of the original series.The conversation explores how older media can sometimes gain unexpected context years later and how that can affect preservation, distribution, and audience perception.Ryan North's Fantastic Four #6: A Shot in the DarkIn the second half of the episode, the hosts turn their attention to Ryan North's Fantastic Four #6, “A Shot in the Dark.”The issue follows the team as they attempt to stop a rapidly spreading algae that threatens to consume and destroy life on Earth. To prevent catastrophe, Sue Storm takes on an extraordinary responsibility: traveling into space and using her powers to reduce the sunlight reaching Earth long enough to stop the algae from growing.The hosts praise the issue for highlighting just how powerful Sue truly is. While Reed often receives the spotlight as the team's scientific genius, this story demonstrates that Sue may actually be one of the most formidable members of the Marvel Universe.The discussion becomes particularly interesting when Maria Hill and S.H.I.E.L.D. confront the team at the end of the issue. Realizing the full scale of Sue's abilities for perhaps the first time, they decide that someone capable of affecting the entire planet deserves much closer scrutiny.The hosts explore the fascinating ethical questions raised by the issue: What happens when a superhero becomes powerful enough to alter global systems? And who, if anyone, should be responsible for monitoring that power?Final Thoughts — Disney's Secret EpisodeBy the end of Disney's Secret Episode, The Superhero Show finds itself discussing one of the strangest chapters in Fantastic Four history. Between shape-shifting alien hijinks, increasingly ridiculous layers of impersonation, Reed Richards collecting yet another set of honors, and the episode's unusual streaming legacy, “Incursion of the Skrulls” proves to be far more memorable than anyone might expect.Combined with Ryan North's thoughtful exploration of Sue Storm's incredible power in Fantastic Four #6, the episode offers listeners a perfect blend of comic-book absurdity, historical curiosity, and superhero analysis 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?

Today on Word Balloon, we're catching up with one of comics' most distinctive visual storytellers, Rod Reis.Rod is taking on a huge creative challenge with DC's new Elseworlds Supergirl series, serving as the complete artistic force behind the book. Writing the visual language, designing the worlds, drawing, painting, and bringing every page to life. The series imagines a dramatically different destiny for Krypton's last children. In this reality, Kara Zor-El and baby Kal-El share the same escape rocket from Krypton, launching them into a sprawling science-fiction adventure that takes the Superman mythology into entirely new territory.One of the most striking aspects of the book is Rod's reimagining of Krypton itself. From the architecture and technology to the appearance and culture of its people, he's creating a version of the doomed world unlike anything we've seen before.We'll also look back at Rod's acclaimed work on New Mutants and the X-Men line, where his painted style brought a dreamlike and often unsettling atmosphere to the mutant corner of the Marvel Universe. And we'll talk about his remarkable career journey. From breaking into American comics as a colorist, collaborating with some of the industry's top artists, to evolving into one of comics' most accomplished full-spectrum creators whose work is instantly recognizable on sight.

The Superhero Show #624Fantastic Four: Silver Surfer and Galactus Pt. 2The Superhero Show — Silver Surfer and Galactus Pt. 2This week, The Superhero Show concludes one of the biggest stories in the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series with “The Silver Surfer and the Coming of Galactus Pt. 2.” The hosts continue their discussion of Marvel's most famous cosmic saga, breaking down the climactic confrontation between Galactus and the Fantastic Four, the Silver Surfer's growing appreciation for humanity, and the episode's unique ability to feel both universe-shattering and completely ridiculous at the same time.While the arrival of Galactus promised one of Marvel's grandest stories, the hosts debate whether the cartoon's two-part structure helped elevate the story—or simply stretched it beyond what the material could comfortably support.In the second half of the show, they continue their read-through of Ryan North's Fantastic Four with Issue #5, “Up to Scratch,” introducing magic, witches, and the arrival of Nicholas Scratch into an already wonderfully strange series.Silver Surfer and Galactus Pt. 2: The Battle for EarthThe hosts begin with a full breakdown of “The Silver Surfer and the Coming of Galactus Pt. 2,” focusing on the Fantastic Four's desperate attempt to save Earth from one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe.They discuss how the episode handles the conflict between Galactus and the Fantastic Four, examining whether the cartoon successfully conveys the impossible scale of the threat. As expected, Reed Richards spends much of the episode trying to science his way out of an apocalypse, while the rest of the team struggles to contribute against a foe who literally consumes planets.The conversation highlights the challenge of adapting a cosmic epic into a Saturday morning cartoon format and whether the episode succeeds despite its limitations.Silver Surfer and Galactus Pt. 2: The Surfer Finds His HumanityOne of the hosts' favorite aspects of the episode is the continued development of the Silver Surfer.After arriving as Galactus's loyal herald, the Surfer gradually begins to recognize the value of humanity and the life that exists on Earth. The hosts discuss how this moral awakening becomes the emotional center of the story and why the Silver Surfer often works best when he is torn between duty and compassion.They also compare this portrayal to later versions of the character and appreciate how quickly the show establishes the core tragedy that makes the Surfer such an enduring Marvel figure.Silver Surfer and Galactus Pt. 2: Cosmic Power, Cartoon LogicOf course, no discussion would be complete without talking about Galactus himself.The hosts spend plenty of time laughing about the show's portrayal of Marvel's Devourer of Worlds. While the character is theoretically one of the most terrifying entities in comic book history, the cartoon version often feels oddly approachable, occasionally undercutting his cosmic menace with unintentionally silly dialogue and Saturday-morning-cartoon energy.This leads to a broader discussion about the balance between faithfully adapting comic book concepts and making them work for a younger audience. Is Galactus intimidating? Sometimes. Is he also kind of hilarious? Absolutely.Feeling the Weight of the Two-ParterAs the discussion continues, the hosts revisit one of their biggest criticisms from Part 1: the feeling that this story may not have needed two episodes.They talk about how some scenes still feel stretched out, how certain subplots continue to slow down the pacing, and how the show occasionally struggles to fill the runtime between its major story beats. While the cosmic concepts remain exciting, the hosts argue that the narrative might have been stronger with a tighter structure.Even so, they agree that the sheer importance of introducing both Galactus and the Silver Surfer helps make the story memorable despite its flaws.Ryan North's Fantastic Four #5: Up to ScratchIn the second half of the episode, the hosts move from cosmic science fiction into outright magic with Ryan North's Fantastic Four #5, "Up to Scratch."The issue introduces Nicholas Scratch and expands the comic's supernatural side, bringing magic into a series that has largely focused on science and family dynamics up to this point. The hosts discuss how seamlessly Ryan North incorporates magical concepts into the Fantastic Four mythos while maintaining the strong character work that has defined the run so far.They explore Nicholas Scratch's role in the story, the growing mysteries surrounding the magical elements being introduced, and how refreshing it is to see the Fantastic Four operate outside their usual scientific comfort zone.The discussion also highlights how Marvel's universe has always been at its best when science fiction, superheroes, and magic are allowed to collide in unexpected ways.Final Thoughts — Silver Surfer and Galactus Pt. 2By the end of Silver Surfer and Galactus Pt. 2, The Superhero Show finds itself both impressed and amused by one of the most ambitious stories the 1994 Fantastic Four series has attempted. While Galactus may not always feel as terrifying as his comic book counterpart and the two-part structure occasionally shows its seams, the introduction of both Galactus and the Silver Surfer remains a landmark moment for the series.Combined with another excellent installment of Ryan North's Fantastic Four, this episode delivers a fun blend of cosmic spectacle, magical mystery, and comic book analysis 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?

This week we're talking about whether it would be ok to live in the world of your webcomic. This was a fun idea proposed by Takoyama in the DD forums and we thought we'd explore it! Then we expanded it to various cinematic universes. Would you like to live in your own webcomic world or someone else's and if so, which one? And which cinematic world would you like to live in? Out of all our own webcomic worlds we decided that Banes's Typical Strange was the best choice by far. A 1990s video rental place, with friends, hijinks, and shenanigans before the internet took over and ruined stuff? Man, in a heartbeat! That's pretty much a perfect world. Even up to the early 2000s with DVDs it would still be just as good. Take us all there now please. In cinematic universes the choice was more blurred but we decided the Marvel Universe would probably be the worst since normal people are simply there to be victims and super people are the only ones that matter. The Star Wars world seems way too full of war but I remember that one family in Caravan of Courage, who were going off on a camping holiday before everything turned to crap… That seemed to indicate there was some normality in that world though where people can grow and raise families in peace. We also decided that the world of the original Superman film (Christopher Reaves), would be a good place to live too since there's only one main hero there originally and he loves saving people. So what's YOUR choice? Oh, we also read out all the posts by the people who commented in the thread in funny voices. The best off Gunwallace track this week was Holon - Sexy Scifi, Blade Runner meets Roxy Music.

In 2020, playwrights Crystal Skillman and Fred Van Lente joined me to talk about transforming their acclaimed stage play King Kirby into an ambitious audio drama. The original play explored the life, imagination, and complicated legacy of comics legend Jack Kirby — from the birth of the Marvel Universe to the battles over credit, ownership, and artistic identity that followed him throughout his career.In this conversation, Crystal and Fred discuss the challenge of adapting such a visually explosive story into a purely audio experience. They break down how sound design, voice performance, and narrative structure became tools to recreate Kirby's cosmic imagination for listeners, while still grounding the story in the emotional realities of Jack's life, his partnership and conflicts with Stan Lee, and the larger history of the comics industry. We also get into the timing of the project during the pandemic-era rise of audio storytelling, why Kirby's struggles over creator rights remain relevant today, and how the medium of audio drama unexpectedly mirrored the intimacy and imagination of old-time radio adventures that inspired Kirby himself. It's a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at honoring one of comics' greatest visionaries while reinventing his story for a new audience.Here's a link to the series https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/king-kirby/id1543433086

Today on Word Balloon, comics legends Larry Lieber and Danny Fingeroth join us for a fun and imaginative conversation about Larry's new prose novel Chirps. The story centers on Chirps, a mutant budgie who can think and speak like a human being. Alongside his billionaire industrialist friend, Chirps finds himself pursued by dangerous forces determined to capture him and exploit the secrets behind his extraordinary intelligence. The novel blends science fiction adventure, humor, and old-school pulp storytelling in a way that feels very true to Larry's classic comic book roots.And what roots they are. Larry was one of the foundational writers of the early Marvel Universe, scripting the very first adventures of Iron Man, Thor, and Ant-Man. He also wrote countless giant monster stories during Marvel's pre-superhero era, including the first appearance of Groot, and chronicled dozens of western adventures starring Rawhide Kid. Larry talks about creating the world and personality of Chirps, writing prose instead of comics, and building suspense around a tiny feathered hero caught between powerful allies and ruthless enemies.Danny Fingeroth helps provide additional context throughout the conversation, including stories about working under Larry during their time together in the Marvel UK office and firsthand observations of Larry's quiet but enormously influential role in Marvel history. Along the way, the conversation naturally drifts into comics history, Marvel memories, editorial war stories, and Larry's remarkable body of work as one of the key creative figures from the early Marvel era.

This week on the Major Issues Podcast, the hosts break down Punisher: One Last Kill, a brutal and emotionally charged story that throws Punisher back into the cycle of violence he can never truly escape. We talk about how the series handles Frank Castle's mindset, the moral contradictions at the center of the character, and what separates The Punisher from other vigilantes in the Marvel Universe. The hosts also dive into the story's tone, action, and emotional weight, unpacking whether this latest chapter adds something meaningful to Frank's long history of war and revenge.

Today on Word Balloon, we welcome writer Steve Darnall to talk about his new prose adaptation of Marvels, the landmark series created by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross that redefined how readers looked at the Marvel Universe. The new novel with new cover and illustrations by Alex  is out in the next 2 weeks from Abrahms. Steve has a long history with Alex Ross, including their acclaimed collaboration on DC's Uncle Sam, and he also played an important role in the original Marvels project itself, co-writing the Marvels #0 story that explored the origin of Human Torch, the Golden Age android hero Jim Hammond. We talk about translating Ross's iconic painted imagery and Busiek's emotional storytelling into prose form, revisiting the history of the Marvel Universe through the eyes of ordinary people, and what it was like working alongside Ross during the formative years of some of his most celebrated projects. It's a great conversation about comics history, superhero mythology, and the lasting influence of Marvels.

Who is the ultimate threat to Asgard? Welcome to Part 1 of our massive Thor Villain Tier List! We are ranking every foe the God of Thunder has faced, from legendary icons to the most obscure deep cuts in Marvel Comics history.In this episode, Ryan and Eric start strong with some of the biggest names in the Marvel Universe, including the fire demon Surtur, the goddess of death Hela, and the treacherous Amora the Enchantress. We also debate the power levels of The Absorbing Man, the longstanding importance of The Skurge the Executioner, and the frost-bitten legacy of Laufey and the Frost Giants.Whether they are "Marvel-wide threats" or forgotten silver-age foes, we analyze their significance, power levels, and why some villains—like Crusher Creel—remain a legitimate threat to Thor after all these years.Check out PATREON: https://patreon.com/u65477484?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkCheck out INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/marvelthorpodcast?igsh=Nm15MjQ2dW10cXZ3&utm_source=qrCheck out DISCORD:https://discord.gg/DsKTVAmwuY

In a galaxy not so far away, we sit down with artist Stephane Leonardi to talk shop on the ever-evolving world of sketch cards, with a heavy lean into his standout work on Star Wars and Marvel Universe sets. Leonardi breaks down the unique challenge of telling a complete, dynamic story in just a few square inches, sharing insights into his process, materials, and the hustle behind commission-driven art and collector culture. The conversation celebrates the intersection of fandom and artistry that makes sketch cards such a vital (and addictive) corner of the hobby.

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.

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?

Kevin Smith, , creator of Clerks, Dogma, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Jay and Silent Bob, Comic Book Men and so much more once upon a time in 1998 was given the opportunity to write Daredevil for Marvel Comics. This was a huge undertaking as many Hollywood writers and directors had a passion for comics, but never brought their talents to the medium. However, after encouraging words from the creative team of Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti helped Kevin Smith take the leap to add a new chapter to Matt Murdock's life. Kevin then goes on to write the storyline Guardian Devil to help launch the Marvel Knights imprint, which was an exciting time for Marvel Comics. This storyline features many themes of romance, betrayal, faith in oneself and beliefs, test of humanity, ethics, and some much more in this thrilling 8 issues series, all with ties to the larger Marvel Universe. If you are a Daredevil, the tv show, or other Daredevil stories we encourage you to check out the infamous comic book run.

Paul and Al are back with more comics waffle for you to gobble up, as they send good wishes to Adam Hughes, chew over Marvel's layoffs and its wider malaise, and discuss DNX, Challenges of Doom, Clayface: Celebrity Dirt, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dark Horse's Marvel reprints and Jughead: Piemageddon, while also giving reviews of Fireborn and The Fury of Firestorm. The Official Handbook of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: the treat you can eat between meals, without ruining your appetite.

The 90's were a bad decade for Marvel's Mutants, and it took some seismic changes and bold creative risks to save the franchise, the biggest being the 2001 reboot of the franchise - Ultimate X-Men! Marvel Comics hit the reset button and created a brand new imagining of Xavier, Magneto, Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, and the rest of the X-Men's huge cast of characters. Mark Millar and Andy Kubert re-imagined Marvel's mutants and positioned them in the middle of a world in the shadow of the 9/11 attacks and waging a war that violated a lot of personal rights. Social and political satire wrapped up in a sci-fi package! Every month on Patreon we take a special deep-dive into a Marvel comic book, event, or timeline to examine all the highs and lows of the Marvel Universe.

This week on the Major Issues Podcast, the hosts dive into A.X.E.: Judgment Day in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Eternals. They break down how the event brings the Eternals, X-Men, and Avengers into conflict, while exploring the moral and philosophical questions at the heart of the story. From judgment and worthiness to the cost of playing god, the hosts dig into how this crossover elevates the Eternals' mythology in a way few stories have before. The episode also examines the creative vision behind the event, its impact on the wider Marvel Universe, and whether it succeeds as both a celebration of the Eternals' legacy and a defining modern crossover.

I've been following Jessica Henwick's work for quite some time, but even while keeping a keen eye on her growing filmography, it's easy to overlook that she's been in far more major franchises than just about any actor out there. (Something that likely speaks to her range as an artist, ability to lose herself in her roles, and the accomplishment of building a wide-ranging body of work.) Whereas most actors would be lucky to book just one of the biggies, over the years, Henwick has scored roles in the Star Wars franchise, in Game of Thrones, in the Marvel Universe, in The Matrix movies, she voices a character in Blade Runner: Black Lotus, she's in the second Knives Out movie, Glass Onion, and will star in the final two seasons of the hit Apple TV+ show Silo. And who knows what the future will hold.In celebration of the release of Vladimir, Henwick visited the Collider Ladies Night studio to discuss making the irresistible eight-episode Netflix show opposite Rachel Weisz and Leo Woodall. She plays Cynthia, Vladimir's (Woodall) wife. After moving to a new town to take jobs at a local university, Vlad attracts the attention of Weisz's character, a seasoned professor there. Before long, that initial interest sparks an all-consuming fantasy for her. The question is, will she act on it?In addition to celebrating the release of Vladimir, Henwick also took some time to look back on past achievements, including her truly epic run in the franchise realm.
