Howard the Duck has been waddling around the Marvel Universe for more than 50 years, but 40 years ago he made his big-screen debut in one of the strangest movies ever to come out of Hollywood. We're getting our feathers ruffled and taking a look back at the movie that proved sometimes you just have to wing it! Was Howard the Duck really as bad as everyone said? We're looking at the history, the weirdness, the practical effects, the critics, and the legacy of this infamous 80s cult classic.    News BingeBuster Becomes BingeBrowse - After receiving a cease and desist from Blockbuster, BingeBuster has rebranded as BingeBrowse.

We're celebrating the 40th anniversary of the movie that brought Marvel's cigar-chomping, wisecracking waterfowl to the big screen. We look back at Howard's comic-book origins, George Lucas' involvement, the enormous production, the practical effects, and the movie's spectacular journey from box-office bomb to cult classic.   Then it's time for "What the Duck?", where we try to figure out which critics wrote some of the movie's most memorable reviews. We'll also debate whether Howard was really as bad as his reputation suggests, look at how the character could work today, and explore his eventual return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.   Can you tell a real 1980s movie from something we completely made up? We're putting our knowledge of bizarre 80s cinema to the test with plots involving killer mall robots, time-traveling cyborgs, zombies, tiny demons, alternate dimensions, and murderous machines. Some of these movies are completely ridiculous. The problem is... they're real! Can you Enjoy Howard the Duck? What are some of the fun qualities of the movie? Let us know!

Fantastic Four: Saur Winners

The Superhero Show Show

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!

Tasked by Deadpool with gathering intel, the team spreads out among the crowded booths and colorful attendees, searching for answers.

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

Key Change: Tatiana Maslany on "Faceshopping" by Sophie

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.

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.While it may come as no surprise, the biggest Marvel news this week is still just as exciting as it is obvious with the revelation that Chris Evans will indeed appear in Secret Wars. While not officially confirmed by Marvel, the news broke via a social media post from March 26, that is just now gaining notice, with the actor himself telling Instagram user @comicconmomsi, "I can tell you that...I start work on the next one in a couple of months, I can tell you that," in a video message. That tracks with the projected August production starting date for Secret Wars we've discussed previously.While rumors and speculation are typically not our forte here, the rumor mill surrounding The Batman II cast warrants some attention. In May, we discussed headlines from sources like Variety and The Wrap that seemingly confirmed Sebastian Stan had been cast as Harvey Dent, as he had long been rumored to be, with Scarlett Johansson and Charles Dance announced as Dent's wife and father, respectively. In hindsight, those headlines resulted from Matt Reeve's social media post where he confirmed and welcomed a number of actors as part of the film but did not actually reveal any roles. In the last week, industry insider Jeff Sneider has suggested that his sources claim that Stan will instead play Victor Zsasz and Brian Tyree Henry is set to portray Harvey. Steven Spielberg has returned to the blockbuster arena for the first time in eight years with Disclosure Day, his UFO sci-fi thriller starring Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor, which opened to approximately $44 million domestically and $93.9 million globally, making it his biggest opening weekend ever for an original film. Meanwhile, Obsession continues its extraordinary run, adding another $19 million in week five for a domestic total of $188.3 million. Spielberg's $115 million production earned strong reviews and a B CinemaScore.Sony has released the trailer for The Social Reckoning, Aaron Sorkin's sequel to The Social Network. Jeremy Strong stars as Mark Zuckerberg alongside Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, and Bill Burr. The film opens October 9.Peter Sarsgaard has joined the Season 3 cast of HBO's The Last of Us in a recurring role. He will play an original character named Amon, one of the leaders of the Seraphites. Production is currently on a planned hiatus to accommodate World Cup matches filming in Vancouver.It: Welcome to Derry writer Jason Fuchs has been tapped to write a new untitled Transformers script for Paramount and Hasbro.Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, and Ice Cube are in talks to return for 24 Jump Street at Sony Pictures, reuniting most of the original production team.Apple TV+ has renewed horror comedy Widow's Bay for a second season ahead of its season finale this week, and has signed creator Katie Dippold to a multiyear overall deal.Jason Momoa has made clear he has no interest in a PG-13 Lobo solo movie. In an interview with Collider, he said if he makes a standalone Lobo film, it will be rated R, full stop, though he's open to appearing in ensemble DCU projects in the meantime.Peter Serafinowicz has been cast as Peeves the Poltergeist in HBO's Harry Potter series.Anya Taylor-Joy has joined the cast of the upcoming Lord of the Rings prequel The Hunt for Gollum, playing an elf character named Seren.Marvel Comics will publish a one-shot crossover this September titled The Muppets Take the Marvel Universe, celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Muppet Show by teaming Muppets characters with iconic Marvel heroes.Mark Hamill is joining Peacock's Twisted Metal for Season 3 in a recurring role, playing the father of Sweet Tooth.Chris Sanders, co-creator and co-director of the original Lilo & Stitch animated film, will direct Disney's live-action sequel Lilo & Stitch 2.
