The Superhero Show #639Fantastic Four: Will the Baxter Building Return?The Superhero Show — Will the Baxter Building Return?This week, The Superhero Show takes another detour from the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series to dive into Ryan North's Fantastic Four #14, “The Unforeseeable Future.” With the date of the Baxter Building's expected return finally approaching, the hosts ask the big question: Will the Baxter Building Return?While Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny wait for their home to come back, they find themselves investigating a mysterious new app called Metamind. What begins as an investigation into an unusual piece of technology eventually becomes a story about controlling the future, artificial intelligence, and one very questionable decision by Reed Richards.The hosts break down the issue's plot, discuss the ideas behind Metamind, and share their thoughts on an issue that may not reach the same heights as some of their favorite Ryan North stories—but still manages to deliver plenty of entertaining moments.Will the Baxter Building Return? Waiting for the Big DayThe issue begins with the Fantastic Four approaching the date when the Baxter Building is supposed to return after its unexpected journey into the future.With their old home still missing, the team needs something to occupy their time. That leads them toward a mysterious new app called Metamind, created by inventor Dan Passi.The hosts discuss the anticipation surrounding the Baxter Building's return and how interesting it is that the issue doesn't immediately make that the main event. Instead, the story uses the waiting period to introduce an entirely different mystery.Will the Baxter Building Return? What Is Metamind?The Fantastic Four begin investigating Metamind and the strange technology behind it.As they dig deeper, they discover that Dan Passi didn't create the app simply as another piece of technology. His goal is much bigger: he wants to influence and control the future he ultimately wants to live in.The hosts discuss the concept behind Metamind and how perfectly it fits into the world of the Fantastic Four, where seemingly impossible scientific ideas are just another Tuesday for Reed Richards.They also examine the question at the center of the story: if you had the ability to see and manipulate possible futures, how far would you go to make sure you got the future you wanted?Will the Baxter Building Return? Metamind Gets Out of ControlThings become more complicated when Metamind is taken over by someone else.Suddenly, Dan Passi needs help figuring out who has taken control of his creation. He turns to Reed Richards, expecting Reed's scientific expertise to help solve the mystery.The hosts discuss how this creates an interesting conflict for Reed and whether he actually responds to Passi's request in the way you'd expect from one of the smartest people in the Marvel Universe.Will the Baxter Building Return? Reed Chooses DestructionRather than helping Dan Passi uncover who has taken control of Metamind, Reed decides on a much more drastic solution.He destroys the app—and the data center running it.The hosts have plenty to say about Reed's decision, discussing whether destroying the technology was the right call and how hilarious it is to watch Reed Richards essentially decide that the best solution to a technological problem is to burn the whole thing down.And, naturally, the hosts aren't exactly upset about seeing a data center get destroyed.Will the Baxter Building Return? Controlling the FutureBeyond the plot, the hosts discuss the larger ideas Ryan North explores in “The Unforeseeable Future.”The issue raises questions about whether the future should be something we attempt to control or something we allow to unfold naturally. Dan Passi's desire to create the future he wants puts him in an increasingly complicated situation, particularly once someone else gains control of his technology.The hosts also discuss how these high-concept scientific ideas fit into Ryan North's larger approach to Fantastic Four, where seemingly ridiculous concepts can quickly become opportunities to explore surprisingly big questions.Will the Baxter Building Return? A Fun, If Uneven, IssueThe hosts are honest about where Fantastic Four #14 lands for them compared with the issues they've discussed previously.While they enjoyed “The Unforeseeable Future,” they don't consider it one of the standout issues of Ryan North's run so far. After stories involving alternate universes, dinosaurs, Doctor Doom, and some incredibly creative standalone adventures, this particular issue doesn't quite have the same impact.That doesn't mean there's nothing to enjoy, though. The hosts appreciate the creativity behind Metamind, the questions surrounding the future, and especially the sheer satisfaction of watching Reed Richards destroy an entire data center.Sometimes that's enough.Final Thoughts — Will the Baxter Building Return?By the end of the episode, The Superhero Show has spent plenty of time answering the question, Will the Baxter Building Return? while also exploring Metamind, Dan Passi's obsession with controlling the future, and Reed Richards' surprisingly destructive approach to solving the problem.While “The Unforeseeable Future” may not become one of the hosts' favorite Ryan North Fantastic Four issues, they still find plenty to enjoy in the story and its ideas. And after watching Reed destroy the Metamind app and its data center rather than simply helping solve the mystery, the hosts can at least agree on one thing:Sometimes the future is unpredictable—but a destroyed data center is forever.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?

The Iron Brigade finally enters Bloodbath, only to discover it isn't just a tournament. It's a deadly arena where survival is the only prize. Separated from his teammates, The Tick is forced into a brutal fight to the death against the unstoppable Juggernaut. Despite being pushed to his absolute limits, The Tick refuses to back down. Before the battle can reach its conclusion, chaos erupts as an advanced AI known as M.A.D.A.M. seizes control of the helicarrier hosting the event, sending it into a catastrophic dive toward the earth. With disaster looming, Kai takes control and lands the massive vessel safely, saving everyone on board. As the dust settles, the Iron Brigade realizes the Bloodbath was only the beginning, and M.A.D.A.M. is already waiting with the next deadly trap.   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1628612284256101/     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lmgpodnetwork?igsh=YTBtMm1kd3k3a3N3     YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLMGPodcast     Hosts: Jordan Mitchell,  

The Superhero Show #637Fantastic Four: Doomasaur the Doctor Doom Dinosaur The Superhero Show — Doomasaur the Doctor Doom DinosaurThis week, The Superhero Show takes another break from its coverage of the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series to focus entirely on Ryan North's Fantastic Four #13, “A Thing or Two.” And honestly, there may be no better reason to stop everything else than the arrival of Doomasaur the Doctor Doom Dinosaur.Picking up the dinosaur-filled storyline from the previous issue, the Fantastic Four find themselves dealing with a collision between two universes—one populated by humans and another populated by dinosaur versions of Marvel's greatest heroes and villains. But while dinosaur versions of the Fantastic Four are already plenty of fun, the real highlight comes when Doctor Doom encounters the only person he believes he can truly trust: another Doctor Doom.That's right. Human Doom teams up with Dinosaur Doom, creating the short-lived but glorious partnership of Doomasaur the Doctor Doom Dinosaur. The hosts break down the ridiculousness of the concept, why Ryan North somehow makes it work, and how the story eventually gives Ben Grimm and his dinosaur counterpart the opportunity to save the day.DOOMASAUR the Doctor Doom Dinosaur: The Most Logical Team-Up in the MultiverseThe hosts begin by discussing one of the greatest ideas imaginable for a Fantastic Four comic: Doctor Doom meeting a dinosaur version of himself.With two universes threatening to collide and destroy one another, the situation quickly becomes even more dangerous when another incursion point opens in Latveria. There, Doctor Doom discovers his dinosaur counterpart, and naturally, the two versions of Victor Von Doom immediately decide that working together is an excellent idea.The hosts absolutely love the team-up between Doom and Doomasaur the Doctor Doom Dinosaur, especially because it perfectly fits Doom's personality. Of course Doom would trust another version of himself more than anyone else in existence.The partnership may be relatively short-lived, but the hosts agree that the comic gets every possible ounce of entertainment out of the idea. A human Doctor Doom teaming up with a dinosaur Doctor Doom is exactly the kind of wonderfully absurd concept that Ryan North's Fantastic Four has become so good at embracing.DOOMASAUR the Doctor Doom Dinosaur: Two Universes Are About to CollideThe larger story centers around the increasingly dangerous collision between the human Marvel Universe and a parallel universe populated by dinosaur versions of its inhabitants.The Fantastic Four have already encountered their prehistoric counterparts, but the situation becomes far more serious as the two realities begin to threaten each other's existence. One universe may have to be sacrificed if the heroes can't find a solution.Meanwhile, the two Dooms see opportunity rather than disaster.Instead of working to save both worlds, Doom and his dinosaur counterpart devise their own plan to bring the universes together and create even more territory for them to rule. The hosts discuss how perfectly this captures both versions of Doom: faced with a universe-ending crisis, their first instinct isn't simply to survive—it's to figure out how they can come out of it with more power.DOOMASAUR the Doctor Doom Dinosaur vs. The Brothers GrimmWhile the Fantastic Four and even the Avengers struggle against the two Dooms, the story eventually comes down to an unexpected pair of heroes: Ben Grimm and his dinosaur counterpart.The hosts have a great time discussing the team-up between The Thing and Dinosaur Thing—collectively known as the Brothers Grimm—and why they are the perfect characters to take center stage during the issue's climax.Rather than simply defeating Doom through bigger punches or greater strength, the two Things ultimately succeed through something much more important: understanding exactly what makes Doctor Doom tick.The hosts love that Ryan North gives Ben Grimm the opportunity to prove that he's much more than the Fantastic Four's muscle. Ben understands people, understands Doom, and knows that sometimes the best way to defeat Victor Von Doom is not through force at all.It's through his ego.DOOMASAUR the Doctor Doom Dinosaur: The Secret to Beating Doom Is His EgoOne of the biggest takeaways from the episode is the hosts' discussion about Doctor Doom and the one weakness that always seems to bring him down: himself.Doom may be one of the smartest people in the Marvel Universe. He may have incredible technology, mystical knowledge, armies, and enough confidence to challenge almost anyone.But Doom also has an ego.The hosts discuss how Fantastic Four #13 understands this fundamental part of the character. The way to defeat Doom isn't always finding a bigger weapon or assembling a stronger team. Sometimes all you need to do is give Doom an opportunity to prove how brilliant and superior he believes he is—and let that arrogance do the rest.The fact that this issue has two versions of Doom only makes that weakness even more entertaining.After all, what could possibly go wrong when two of the most arrogant people in the multiverse are both convinced they are the smartest person in the room?Why the Dinosaur Fantastic Four Stories Are So Much FunBeyond the Doom storyline, the hosts spend time reflecting on just how much they have enjoyed this dinosaur detour in Ryan North's Fantastic Four run.The concept could have easily been treated as a throwaway joke, but the hosts appreciate how much fun the creative team has with the premise. Dinosaur versions of familiar Marvel characters, alternate versions of the Fantastic Four, dinosaur Avengers, and now Doomasaur the Doctor Doom Dinosaur all combine into one of the most delightfully ridiculous stories of the series.The hosts praise Ryan North for being willing to embrace the inherent silliness of superhero comics while still treating the characters and stakes seriously enough for the story to matter.That's what makes the dinosaur storyline work so well: the comic knows exactly how ridiculous the concept is, but it never acts embarrassed by it.Ryan North Continues to Make Fantastic Four FunAs they wrap up the discussion, the hosts once again talk about how much they continue to enjoy Ryan North's approach to Fantastic Four.Issue #13 is filled with giant ideas, alternate universes, superhero action, dinosaurs, and two versions of Doctor Doom plotting together—but underneath all of that chaos is a story that understands its characters.The hosts especially appreciate how the issue gives Ben Grimm an important role in the resolution. Even surrounded by cosmic disasters and superpowered heroes, Ryan North finds a way to remind readers that Ben's greatest strengths aren't always physical.Sometimes the person who knows how to defeat Doctor Doom is simply the person who knows Doctor Doom best.Final Thoughts — Doomasaur the Doctor Doom DinosaurBy the end of the episode, The Superhero Show finds itself celebrating everything that makes this stretch of Ryan North's Fantastic Four run so much fun. Doomasaur the Doctor Doom Dinosaur may not have been around for long, but the team-up between human Doom and Dinosaur Doom is exactly as entertaining as it sounds.Between two universes colliding, the Fantastic Four meeting their dinosaur counterparts, the Brothers Grimm stepping up to save the day, and Doctor Doom once again being defeated because of his own enormous ego, Fantastic Four #13 delivers one of the most wonderfully ridiculous adventures of the series.For the hosts, Doomasaur the Doctor Doom Dinosaur is proof that sometimes the best comic book stories begin with a completely absurd idea—and then commit to it one hundred percent.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?

Phillip teases as much he can about the new Midnight Spider-Man coming in October and The Coming Infernal Hulk War with the Marvel Universe, starting with Wolverine Sept 9th. 

Consider the Incredible Hulk. He's often referred to as the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of the Marvel Universe. But is he really Jekyll and Hyde on a deep level? Paul has been studying the early Hulk comics, looking at the various framings that were tried soon after the character's debut. Does Banner turn to Hulk when the sun goes down? Can he become Hulk whenever he wants? Does Rick Jones have hypnotic control over the Hulk? These were all tried in the wacky six-issue run of Hulk's book in 1962 and ‘63 before it was canceled. This week, a look at the struggle to arrive at the tropes of the Hulk! Brought to you by: Waxy Buildup podcast Our supporters on Patreon

The Iron Brigade's journey to Madripoor gets off to a turbulent start when the villain Crossbones hijacks their flight, forcing the team into a high-altitude battle to save everyone on board. After stopping the takeover, they meet a fellow mercenary team that shares valuable information about the growing number of hired guns who have mysteriously vanished. Upon arriving in Madripoor, the Brigade barely has time to catch their breath before stepping in to rescue a woman from an attack by the Blob and Toad. With the villains defeated and more pieces of the mystery falling into place, the team's path is finally clear. Their investigation now leads them to the infamous Bloodbath tournament, where they hope to uncover the truth behind the missing mercenaries.   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1628612284256101/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lmgpodnetwork?igsh=YTBtMm1kd3k3a3N3   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLMGPodcast   Hosts: Jordan Mitchell,

The Superhero Show #635: Fantastic Four: Saur WinnersThe Superhero Show — Saur Winners This week, The Superhero Show continues its journey through Ryan North's Fantastic Four, diving into one of the most audaciously creative premises the series has delivered yet: Fantastic Four #12, "Saur Winners." When two parallel worlds begin to merge—one human, one where everyone is a dinosaur—the Fantastic Four find themselves swapped into a universe of literal, full-scale dinosaurs wearing superhero costumes. As Sue Storm faces off against Brachiosaurus Iron Man, Johnny Storm battles Lambeosaurus Captain Marvel, and Reed Richards confronts Quetzalcoatlus Black Widow, the hosts explore how Ryan North transforms a wild multiverse collision into a deeply personal story about family.Beyond the chaos and dinosaurs, the episode features emotional reunions with missing members of the Fantastic Four family, Sue Storm's doctorate is finally revealed, and the hosts dig into whether dinosaur superheroes work as genuine science fiction—or if they're just visual fun masquerading as high-concept storytelling.Saur Winners: How Alternate Universe Science Becomes a Story About FamilyThe hosts begin their discussion by celebrating the sheer audacity of the premise. A world of dinosaurs wearing superhero costumes could easily become a gimmick, a one-off visual joke that prioritizes spectacle over substance. Instead, Ryan North uses the multiverse collision as a vehicle for something far more meaningful: reuniting separated family members.The hosts explore what this choice reveals about North's approach to the Fantastic Four. Rather than treating the alternate universe as an obstacle to overcome, North grounds the story in the emotional stakes that matter most to his characters. The cosmic threat becomes secondary to the personal journey—what does it mean to see family members you thought you'd lost? How do you fight for survival when the greatest reward is simply being together again?This strategy transforms what could have been a throwaway concept into a genuinely moving exploration of connection, loss, and redemption. The hosts agree that this is quintessential Ryan North: taking an absurd premise and letting it serve the emotional core of the story.Saur Winners: Sue Storm's Doctorate Finally RevealedOne of the most significant moments in the issue is the revelation of Sue Storm's doctorate. After everything the Fantastic Four have endured—running from troublemakers, dealing with crisis after crisis, protecting the world from constant threats—Sue's professional achievement finally comes into focus.The hosts spend considerable time discussing why this detail matters so much. Sue Storm has always been more than just the team's most powerful member; she's a brilliant scientist in her own right. Yet throughout her tenure as the Invisible Woman, her professional accomplishments have often been overshadowed by the chaos of superhero life. The revelation of her doctorate is more than just a fact—it's a recognition of her identity beyond the costume.The hosts consider what this suggests about Sue's role in the family and in the larger Marvel Universe. As the team's emotional anchor and its most strategic thinker, Sue has earned the right to have her professional credentials acknowledged. This small but powerful moment speaks to something larger about how women in comics are often defined by their relationships to others rather than their own achievements. By finally centering Sue's doctorate, North affirms that she is a fully realized person with accomplishments that deserve recognition.Saur Winners: Dinosaurs Meet Superheroes—A Collision of ConceptsThe hosts then dive into the question that has defined their entire discussion: are dinosaur superheroes a gimmick, or does this premise actually work as genuine high-concept science fiction?On the surface, the idea of a universe populated entirely by dinosaurs in superhero costumes sounds absurd. Brachiosaurus Iron Man? Lambeosaurus Captain Marvel? Quetzalcoatlus Black Widow? The visual comedy is obvious, and the hosts certainly appreciate the humor. But they also recognize that Ryan North doesn't stop there.The issue draws from Robert Dicke's astrophysics discoveries, grounding the multiverse collision in actual scientific concepts. Yet crucially, North never lets the science lesson overtake the storytelling. The dinosaur premise serves as both a visual spectacle and a thematic exploration of multiverse convergence—what happens when two realities begin to merge, and how do characters adapt when the rules of their universe change?The hosts conclude that the dinosaur superheroes work as more than just visual fun precisely because North keeps the story front and center. The premise is wild, yes, but it's never at the expense of character development, emotional stakes, or thematic depth. In fact, the absurdity of the premise amplifies the emotional impact of family reunions and Sue's professional recognition. By throwing the Fantastic Four into an impossible situation, North strips away pretense and forces his characters to confront what truly matters.Saur Winners: Heroes vs. Dinosaur HeroesAs the hosts walk through the specific battles—Sue Storm vs. Brachiosaurus Iron Man, Johnny Storm vs. Lambeosaurus Captain Marvel, Reed Richards vs. Quetzalcoatlus Black Widow—they marvel at how North uses these matchups to explore character dynamics.These aren't random pairings. Each battle plays to the particular strengths and vulnerabilities of the Fantastic Four members. The hosts discuss how these confrontations serve multiple purposes: they provide the action spectacle the issue promises, but they also force each character to adapt, improvise, and ultimately survive in an environment completely foreign to them.What emerges is a portrait of a team tested to its absolute limits, fighting not just for victory but for the chance to reunite with loved ones. The dinosaur element, rather than distracting from the stakes, actually heightens them by making every moment feel genuinely unpredictable.Saur Winners: Family, Loss, and ReconnectionBeyond the action and the science fiction premise, the hosts emphasize that what makes "Saur Winners" truly memorable is its emotional core. The reunions with missing members of the Fantastic Four family provide some of the issue's most powerful moments.After years of stories where family members have been separated, lost, or taken away, the opportunity to be together again becomes the real victory of the issue. The hosts reflect on how Ryan North consistently prioritizes character relationships over spectacle, and how that commitment to emotional authenticity transforms even the wildest premises into stories that resonate.By the end of the issue, the Fantastic Four have survived an impossible situation, Sue's contributions have been formally recognized, and the family is whole again. It's a perfect distillation of what makes North's run so consistently rewarding.Saur Winners: Ryan North's Multiverse VisionThe hosts wrap up their discussion by reflecting on how "Saur Winners" exemplifies Ryan North's approach to the Fantastic Four. North has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to take science fiction concepts that seem designed purely for novelty and transform them into vehicles for genuine storytelling and character development.Whether it's a house falling toward the Earth's core or a world of dinosaur superheroes, North ensures that the emotional stakes and character moments remain paramount. The hosts agree that this is what separates truly excellent comic storytelling from mere spectacle—the willingness to make wild premises serve deeper purposes.Final Thoughts — Saur WinnersBy the end of Saur Winners, The Superhero Show has once again found itself celebrating everything that makes Ryan North's Fantastic Four such a standout series. Between the audacious premise, the character reunions, Sue Storm's long-overdue professional recognition, and the thoughtful exploration of multiverse science, Fantastic Four #12 proves that Ryan North continues to deliver some of Marvel's most creative and emotionally resonant storytelling.The dinosaur superheroes are unforgettable, yes—but what lingers is the reminder that even in the wildest stories, character and heart are what matter most. If you've been following North's run, "Saur Winners" is another essential issue you won't want to miss.Are You a Research Nerd Who's Looking For More?Here are some links for all your research wants and needs!Ryan North's Fantastic FourRobert Dicke - AstrophysicistMultiverse in Marvel ComicsJoin the discussions online!

Jordan Morris returns to the AIPT Comics Podcast this week to talk about his increasingly packed comics slate, including the upcoming Amazing Venom. Morris digs into how Luciano Vecchio's red-and-blue Venom design evolved into a new 616 character, why Boomerang was ultimately chosen to bond with the symbiote, and the appeal of turning one of Spider-Man's lovable D-list scumbags into a Venom. We also look back at Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Versity, including Norman Osborn's questionable motives for training the next generation of Spider-heroes, writing the different voices and quips of its large cast, and why Spider-Gwen became a particular favorite for Morris to write. Morris also talks Predator: Bloodshed, his approach to juggling multiple monthly projects, and plenty more from his busy year in comics. Also, if you liked signed comics, buy all of Amazing Venom in advance, signed by Morris, here.

Speed Racer: Tales from the Road – The Rook #1 — July 29 Spider-Versity #5 — August 22 Amazing Venom #1 — September 16 Predator: Bloodshed TPB — November 24 This has to be the most weekly comics you've written in your career yet. How has it been juggling so many projects? You're writing four wildly different books right now: the martial arts and horror of Predator: Bloodshed, the Spider-family training adventure of Spider-Versity, and, speedracer mixes cop drama with racing, the cosmic antihero comedy of Amazing Venom. What have you learned about your strengths as a writer from jumping between such different corners of the Marvel Universe and Speed Racer? Predator: Bloodshed drops a Yautja into an underground fighting tournament, which feels like a premise built to deliver spectacular action. Beyond the fights, what was the biggest storytelling challenge in making readers care about the human competitors? Bloodshed wraps up this week. Looking back on the series as a whole, was there a particular character, fight, or moment that surprised you while writing it? Spider-Versity puts Norman Osborn in the unusual role of teacher. What makes Norman uniquely qualified to train young Spider-heroes, and what makes him the absolute worst possible choice at the same time? Spider-Versity features a roster of younger Spider-characters who all have very different personalities and experiences. Was there one character whose voice came especially naturally to you? Speed Racer: Tales from the Road – The Rook #1 introduces a rookie cop going undercover in the dangerous world of Formula X racing. What drew you to telling a crime story through the lens of Speed Racer, and how did you balance the undercover-cop tension with the over-the-top spectacle fans expect from this universe? You've described Fred Myers (Web of Venom #1) as one of your favorite Marvel antiheroes. What is it about Boomerang that keeps drawing you back to the character? Amazing Venom pairs Fred with Passenger, who seems like the perfect source of both chaos and comedy. How did you approach building that relationship, and what makes them a fun duo to write? Fun question: Of all your current leads and villains—Boomerang, Passenger, Norman Osborn, Carnage, and a Predator—who would be the absolute worst roommate, and who somehow ends up being the best?

After surviving their first encounter with the deadly Taskmaster, the Iron Brigade follows the trail of the missing mercenaries deeper into the mystery. Their investigation leads them to an unusual destination: a massive convention attended by mercenaries, bounty hunters, and hired guns from across the globe. Tasked by Deadpool with gathering intel, the team spreads out among the crowded booths and colorful attendees, searching for answers. As rumors and secrets begin to surface, one name keeps appearing: Jake Paul Van Wham. The eccentric promoter is preparing to host a brutal event known as Bloodbath in the lawless island nation of Madripoor. Believing the tournament may be connected to the disappearances, the Iron Brigade secures invitations and sets their sights on Southeast Asia. With more questions than answers, the team heads toward Madripoor, unaware of the dangers waiting for them inside Bloodbath.   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1628612284256101/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lmgpodnetwork?igsh=YTBtMm1kd3k3a3N3   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLMGPodcast   Hosts: Jordan Mitchell

Send us Fan MailA packed movie theater can tell you more about culture than a hundred hot takes. We went out with our kids and their friends to see Spider-Man: Brand New Day at Silverbird Cinemas in Jabi Lake Mall, Abuja, and walked straight into a sold-out crowd that felt like a carnival. Costumes, big reactions, constant side commentary, and that electric group energy made one thing obvious: youth culture is not “coming someday” it's happening right now, in public, and it spreads through shared stories people can't stop talking about afterward.We reflect on why Spider-Man stays so sticky across generations, from comic book memories to the modern Marvel Universe's worldbuilding and plot craft. We also pay attention to the small signals that shape conversations later, like what people wear, how they act in groups, and even the tech details fans notice and debate. Watching the room react scene by scene becomes its own kind of lesson in storytelling, identity, and belonging.The biggest takeaway lands on parenting and guardianship. Being protective matters, but showing up matters too. We talk about going with your kids to their events, knowing their friends, staying close enough to guide, and stepping back enough to let them breathe. If you want better talks, safer outings, and a stronger family bond during summer break, start by sharing real spaces and real time. Subscribe, share this with a parent or guardian, and leave a review so more families can find the conversation.Support the showYou can support this show via the link below;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1718587/supporters/new

A new chapter begins as the Iron Brigade assembles for their newest mission together. After being contacted by the unpredictable mercenary Deadpool, the team is hired to investigate a series of disappearances involving several missing mercenaries. Their search leads them to a seemingly abandoned pier in New York City, where clues suggest something far more dangerous is unfolding beneath the surface. But before the team can uncover the truth, the situation spirals out of control. A deadly figure emerges from the shadows of the shipping yard: Taskmaster. Armed with the combat skills of countless heroes and villains, the ruthless mercenary wastes no time turning the investigation into a fight for survival. What began as a missing persons case has suddenly become a deadly confrontation, and the Iron Brigade's newest mission may be far more dangerous than anyone anticipated.   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1628612284256101/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lmgpodnetwork?igsh=YTBtMm1kd3k3a3N3   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLMGPodcast   Hosts: Jordan Mitchell

In this special two-part conversation, Alex joins me to discuss his brand-new graphic novel, Marvel Dimensions, written and fully illustrated by Alex for Marvel and Abrams ComicArts. It's his second book in the Marvel Arts line, following Fantastic Four: Full Circle, and it arrives September 1st.The story begins as a sweeping journey through the classic origins of the Marvel Universe. Spider-Man, the Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine, and many more appear in dramatic painted sequences that deliberately echo their earliest adventures. A mysterious narrator guides us through these familiar moments. But gradually, the voice behind the story, and its reasons for telling it, become much less familiar.From there, the book turns darker and more unpredictable. Familiar stories begin changing, characters behave in unexpected ways, and the consequences spread across the Marvel Universe. Alex uses those classic characters and origins as the foundation for a much larger mystery, including new character concepts and a final act designed to make readers reconsider everything they have just seen. The hardcover also includes a separate 32-page comic that is pivotal to the overall story.

Elliott went to the fair and the boys may have grown weary of the Marvel Universe. But that doesn't mean we are yucking anyone's yum, nope.

The Superhero Show #631Fantastic Four: Ryan North's The Long Way HomeThe Superhero Show — The Long Way HomeThis week, The Superhero Show takes another break from the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series to spotlight one of the most unique issues in Ryan North's Fantastic Four run. Instead of discussing an animated episode, the hosts devote the entire show to Fantastic Four #10, "The Vruzeox Arkship Survivors in The Long Way Home."Unlike most superhero comics, The Long Way Home barely focuses on the Fantastic Four themselves. Instead, Ryan North tells a heartfelt standalone story through the eyes of an entirely new group of alien survivors whose lives have been forever changed by their encounters with Marvel's first family. The Fantastic Four remain at the center of every story being told, but they exist almost entirely through the perspectives of others—a storytelling choice the hosts absolutely love.The result is one of the most memorable single issues of the series so far, showcasing why Ryan North continues to be one of Marvel's most creative writers.The Long Way Home: A Fantastic Four Story Without the Fantastic FourThe hosts begin by discussing just how unusual The Long Way Home is.Rather than following Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny through another adventure, the issue introduces readers to the surviving members of the Vruzeox Arkship as they continue their own journey across space. Through their conversations, memories, and shared experiences, readers slowly piece together how the Fantastic Four impacted each of their lives without ever becoming the primary focus of the narrative.The hosts praise Ryan North for trusting readers enough to tell a Fantastic Four story where the heroes themselves are almost supporting characters. It's a bold creative decision that pays off by expanding the Marvel Universe in a way that feels fresh, emotional, and surprisingly intimate.The Long Way Home: Building an Entirely New WorldOne of the episode's biggest discussion points is the introduction of the Vruzeox survivors themselves.The hosts love that Ryan North doesn't simply create anonymous background aliens to fill out the story. Instead, each member of the group feels like a fully realized individual with their own personality, motivations, fears, and hopes for the future.By the end of the issue, the hosts find themselves deeply invested in characters they had never met before, calling it one of Ryan North's greatest strengths as a writer. Rather than relying solely on decades of Fantastic Four history, he continually introduces entirely new ideas and characters that feel like they've always belonged in this universe.The Long Way Home: Ryan North's Storytelling at Its BestThroughout the discussion, the hosts repeatedly return to Ryan North's approach to storytelling.They talk about how The Long Way Home demonstrates that superhero comics don't always need world-ending threats or massive crossover events to be compelling. Sometimes the strongest stories are the quiet ones—the stories about ordinary people living in an extraordinary universe.The issue uses the Fantastic Four as symbols of hope and inspiration rather than simply action heroes, allowing readers to see them from an entirely different perspective. The hosts discuss how refreshing this approach feels and how North consistently finds creative ways to challenge expectations about what a Fantastic Four comic can be.The conversation naturally expands into why this run has become one of their favorite modern Marvel comics, praising North's ability to blend optimism, humor, heart, and high-concept science fiction into every issue.Why Standalone Stories MatterThe hosts also spend time celebrating the value of standalone issues like The Long Way Home.While ongoing storylines and major character arcs are exciting, they argue that comics often become truly memorable when writers take creative risks with self-contained stories. This issue demonstrates that the Fantastic Four's influence stretches far beyond their own adventures, touching countless lives throughout the universe.The hosts appreciate that Ryan North is willing to slow down occasionally, allowing readers to experience the broader Marvel Universe through entirely new perspectives instead of always returning to familiar characters.It's exactly the kind of storytelling that makes the Fantastic Four feel larger than life without relying on spectacle alone.Final Thoughts — The Long Way HomeBy the end of The Long Way Home, The Superhero Show finds itself discussing one of the most creative and emotionally satisfying issues in Ryan North's Fantastic Four run. Through a cast of brand-new characters, thoughtful world-building, and beautifully understated storytelling, the issue proves that some of the best Fantastic Four stories aren't always about the Fantastic Four themselves.For the hosts, The Long Way Home is another example of why Ryan North continues to impress with every issue, delivering comics that are imaginative, heartfelt, and unlike anything else currently being published by Marvel. Whether you're already following the series or looking for a standout standalone issue, this episode explores why The Long Way Home is well worth the journey.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?

Big news out of Marvel Comics today: Stephen Wacker has been named the company's new Editor-in-Chief. Given all the executive changes Marvel has gone through in recent years, it's encouraging to see someone with deep comic book experience taking the reins of the publishing line.Wacker's résumé extends well beyond editing comics. In addition to overseeing some of Marvel's biggest publishing initiatives, he also served as Vice President of Marvel Animation and later as Vice President of Marvel New Media, helping guide projects like the Marvel Audio Universe on SiriusXM, including Wolverine and other serialized Marvel audio dramas.To celebrate the news, we're going back to this 2012 Word Balloon conversation with Stephen. It's a fascinating snapshot of Marvel during one of its most creative periods. We talk about the birth of Spider-Man's Brand New Day era, Dan Slott's early run on Amazing Spider-Man, Greg Rucka's Punisher, and Mark Waid's acclaimed Daredevil. Stephen also gets into the weeds on major crossover events like Spider-Island, Shadowland, and DC's The New 52, while pulling back the curtain on Marvel's creator retreats and the collaborative process behind building the Marvel Universe.Ok, yes, this conversation is now more than a decade old, but I think it still provides a valuable window into how Steve Wacker thinks about comics—how he approaches storytelling, editorial decisions, and working with creators. Until I have the chance to sit down with him again, this interview answers a lot of the questions newer readers may have about the philosophy and instincts of the man now leading Marvel Comics. Enjoy this 2012 conversation with Marvel's new Editor-in-Chief, Stephen Wacker.

Jim Hill and Dan Graney dig into a wild week of Marvel speculation, from murky Avengers: Doomsday leak drama to Sony's carefully controlled Spider-Man: Brand New Day rollout. They also spotlight the Muppets' latest Marvel crossover before Dan unveils a Doctor Doom theory that may reframe Robert Downey Jr.'s MCU return entirely. Plus, brisket, burnt ends, Muppet Treasure Island covers, and one very big question: what if Tony Stark was never the rule, but the exception? HIGHLIGHTS • Jim and Dan break down the blurry Avengers: Doomsday footage leak and the debate over whether it was real, AI-enhanced, or both. • Robert Downey Jr. and the Russo Brothers tease Doomsday as a structurally ambitious, emotionally complex follow-up to Infinity War and Endgame. • Spider-Man: Brand New Day ticket sales arrive with a tiny cast video instead of the trailer fans expected. • The new Brand New Day trailer points toward a Spidey-versus-Hulk showdown and a world where almost no one remembers Peter Parker. • The hosts dig into the mystery of who still remembers Peter Parker, from Savage Hulk to a possible Jean Grey connection. • Marvel's The Muppets Take the Marvel Universe celebrates The Muppet Show's 50th anniversary with Kermit, Gonzo, Deadpool, and one very mean Uncle Ben joke. • Dan lays out his big Doctor Doom theory: what if Doom is the multiversal constant and Tony Stark was the one heroic anomaly? • Jim connects the theory back to Doctor Strange's “one” winning timeline and the possibility that the MCU only ever had one good Tony Stark.

My guest today is the actor Tatiana Maslany. One of the things I find so compelling about Tatiana and her career is that the roles that she plays often contain multitudes—literally. She played over 10 different characters–clones, but with distinct personalities–in the TV show Orphan Black. And in the Marvel Universe, she played She-Hulk, who also had the very different alter ego of Jennifer Walters, a lawyer. And right now, she's starring in the show Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed on AppleTV. When Tatiana prepares for her roles—and the roles within the roles—she often uses music to inspire and motivate her. Today, I got to talk to Tatiana about a song that's been really important to her and her process. And that song is “Faceshopping” by Sophie. If you're not aware of Sophie's music, she was an incredible, groundbreaking electronic artist from the UK. She was trans, and she passed away far too young, in 2021. But even in a short time, she made a big impact. In addition to her own music, she also produced tracks for Charli XCX, and Madonna, and more. In 2018, she released her breakthrough Grammy-nominated album, Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides, which dealt a lot with her trans identity. And that's the album that has the song “Faceshopping.” For more info, visit songexploder.net/tatiana-maslany.
