Cosmic Marvel May continues with a look at the Devourer of Worlds, GALACTUS! Hope you're hungry, because we serve up a planet-sized platter of issues for you! Intro Thanks to PuchiCon for fantastic panel Background (2:52) Galactus created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in Fantastic Four #48 (March 1966) Galan of Taa was an explorer of the universe that existed before the Big Bang - when the universe collapsed during the Big Crunch, he merged with the Sentience of the Universe, and was reborn in this universe with an insatiable hunger - he consumes an entire planet, Archeopia Creates a herald, the Fallen One, who rebels against him - his next herald was Norrin Radd of Zenn-La, who becomes the Silver Surfer When the Surfer approaches Earth to warn the planet of the coming of Galactus, the Fantastic Four lead the defense, and are able to repel him with the Ultimate Nullifier - Mr. Fantastic later sends him the Negative Zone to eat uninhabited planets Secret Wars - he attempts to consume Battleworld to get the Beyonder to remove his hunger, but he is foiled by Dr. Doom Gets turned into a star by his own consuming machines - this releases Abraxas, who creates so much destruction and chaos Franklin & Valeria Richards are forced to revive him to help them defeat Abraxas Attempts to feed on the Infinity Gems, but that releases another destructive being Heads to Asgard to find an item to satiate his hunger - Odin agrees to let him have it once Asgard is no more Forced into his incubator by the Ultimates, and emerges as a Lifebringer instead of a devourer - this throws off the cosmic balance, and several celestial beings attempt to return him to his former state To help defeat Hank Pym/Ultron, Galactus consumes a world overrun by Ultron drones - this revives his hunger, and the Surfer returns as his herald to help him find uninhabited planets Drained by Thor and turned into a bomb to destroy the Black Winter, a being that consumes entire universes Issues (6:26) Galactus. The Devourer of Worlds. The Harbinger of Civilization's End. And...an eco-friendly sustainable farmer? It would normally be hard to fathom the inner workings of the mind of someone who is quite literally the actual sentience of the universe that existed before ours. Fortunately, Galactus helps us out quite a bit by being more than a little chatty about himself and his motivations with the lesser beings he encounters in his travels. A few of his issues have stayed very consistent over the decades: 1) A very complicated and often unhealthy relationship with his food, and his eating in general. Galactus does not enjoy the act of devouring worlds. It has never been an act that brings him pleasure. He simply has to do it in order to survive. Prior to becoming the Lifebringer, he displayed several tendencies that might be thought of as eating disorders in someone who was not a cosmic entity. In Secret Wars, he declares to the Beyonder that his fondest wish is to not have his constant hunger anymore, to be free of the need to eat. On several occasions, it's been made clear that he often starves himself as long as it's possible for him to stand it in between his meals. When confronted by beings and civilizations who don't want to be destroyed and who beg him to find another planet to consume, his constant refrain is that there's simply no more time to do that; he has to eat this planet right now or he's going to die. 2) Guilt and the constant struggle to suppress it. One of Galactus' standby replies to anyone who questions the ethics of his consuming inhabited worlds filled with intelligent beings is that if their very survival depended upon stepping on an ant hill, they wouldn't hesitate. Galactus sets himself above and beyond the reproach or judgment of anyone who is not a cosmic entity. In both his role as the Devourer of Worlds and as the Lifebringer, he fulfills a cosmic purpose as the universe's sustainable farmer, weeding out the life that has passed its apex and the civilizations not strong enough to mount a resistance to him, knowing that he will one day put all of the cosmic life energy he consumes back out into the universe, seeding dead worlds with the beginnings of life to start all over again. And yet, despite that, he was once a mortal, and he does have a conscience. He goes through periods where he tries to limit himself to uninhabited worlds, or worlds without intelligent life, but it's the equivalent of a liquid diet for him; it just doesn't provide the same nourishment. In the famous Fantastic Four #257, he has to have a sit-down with Mistress Death when he basically decides to starve himself completely over the sadness of all the life he's taken, and begs Death to kill him. Most of the time, he just does his best to not think about it, the way most of us try not to think too much about how the food on our table doesn't just magically appear at the grocery store. (17:23) 3) Trouble finding, hiring and keeping good help. Galactus is so much better off when he has a herald in his service finding worlds for him to eat. But he's had a really bad run of luck with them. He had such a bad experience with the Fallen One that he didn't create another one for eons before the Silver Surfer, who managed to break through the blocks Galactus put on his morality enough to rebel. He really liked Airwalker, but Airwalker liked him back enough to sacrifice himself to save him. Firelord he never even really got to know before dismissing him. Finally he decided what he really needed was a sadistic killer who enjoyed destroying inhabited worlds. Predictably, Terrax tried to kill Galactus and take his place. Frankie Raye just wouldn't budge on the whole "no inhabited worlds" rule. Morg was way too good at the job, lined up worlds for Galactus to eat faster than he could eat them. Then he tried two heralds at once for a while, that didn't work out. The man just really doesn't seem to know what it is he really wants from an employee, which seems to be why he keeps finding incompatible candidates for the job. (24:55) Break (35:06) Plugs for SNEScapades, Last Sons of Krypton, and Jordan Blum Treatment (36:09) In-universe - Out of universe - Focus on addressing eating disorder and general health (38:04) Skit (44:42) Hello Galactus, I'm Dr. Issues. - GREETINGS DOCTOR. When Adam Warlock said I'd be doing work for cosmic beings I wasn't quite expecting this. - YOU HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY BEINGS OF POWER BEYOND COMPREHENSION. THIS CARRIES WITH IT INCREDIBLE RESPONSIBILITY. Seems like I've heard that before… - THE HERO CALLED SPIDER-MAN HAS MADE IT SOMEWHAT OF A MANTRA. So how can I help you? - I KNOW YOUR SPECIALITY IS MENTAL HEALTH, BUT YOU ARE EXPERIENCED IN PHYSIOLOGY, ARE YOU NOT? I am a psychiatrist, so I have knowledge of human biology. Having said that, I'm not really sure how that would apply to a celestial being of phenomenal power. I don't think there's even a remote chance of analogous internal systems. - I AM LESS CONCERNED WITH THE BIOLOGY AND MORE FOCUSED ON THE MENTAL CONNECTIONS TO THE PHYSICAL FORM. Alright, I can't believe I'm asking this, but what can I do to help you? - I NEED TO GO ON A DIET. Umm… excuse me? - I MUST FIND A WAY TO SATIATE MY ETERNAL HUNGER FOR THE SAKE OF SENTIENT BEINGS. Oh boy… so, I appreciate you seeking my input, but I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HELP YOU HERE. - YOU CAN PROVIDE ME WITH SUGGESTIONS TO CREATE MENTAL BLOCKS TO ABATE THE COMPULSIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE HUNGER. That's… I… that is not even close to what I am trained in. Much as I would love to help you, I don't even have the first inkling where to start. - MIGHT YOU HAVE AN ASSOCIATE WHO IS TRAINED IN SUCH MATTERS? Sorry, I don't know there's much of a call for “cosmic dieticians”. - PERHAPS YOU KNOW OF SOME FREE-RANGE OPTIONS? How would that even work? - A PLANET OF SENTIENT BEINGS WHO DESIRE TO ASCEND TO A HIGHER PLANE, ALL OF WHOM HAVE THE FREEDOM TO STAY OR LEAVE. I HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT ALL OF THE LOGISTICS YET, I WAS HOPING FOR YOUR INPUT. I'm sorry, I…wait, have you seen the commercials for that medication that wasn't originally designed for weight gain, but people started taking anyway? -THE IMPACT OF A MINISCULE SPHEROID WOULD NOT SATIATE SUCH A STATE No, but the premise is similar to what I'm thinking. You need a new setpoint. Change the order of what you eat and when, then maybe some sort of suppressor, and…hmmm…how does one do bariatric surgery on a cosmic scale? - MY PHYSICAL FORM HAS NO KNOWN CONSTANTS. I AM WHATEVER FORM IS COMPREHENSIBLE TO THE SPECIES VIEWING ME. Then we're going to need an endoscopy tube the size of a space station. Route the last veins of our coal mines to neutralize your digestion from the start. If we combine that with the theoretical particles generated from a Hadron collider, we could force a controllable black hole inside you that would just as easily pass out what you eat. - AND WHAT WOULD EXIT THIS TUBE? WHAT MANNER OF ENERGY OR MATTER IS CREATED FROM THIS EXPERIMENT? I'm not a physicist, but I think it could reset whatever goes through back to the original point of its existence…like, before the big bang or whatever, I'unno -YOU ARE WILLING TO TAKE A CHANCE ON EXISTENCE AS WE KNOW IT JUST TO RECREATE IT FROM MY HUNGER? Well, when you put it like that…*snaps fingers* or, orrrr…after you eat, and there's this new hole…can you eat that? -EAT…MYSELF? THE HOLE? I mean…what if you came out on the other end? What would you be like? - YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO NAVIGATE CONCEPTS FAR BEYOND THE PRECEPTS OF YOUR MORTAL BRAIN. TAKE CARE, DOCTOR, THAT YOU DO NOT FORCE YOURSELF INTO A STATE FROM WHICH YOU CANNOT RECOVER. OR DO SO. EITHER WAY, GALACTUS WILL PERSIST. Would you, though? How do we know you wouldn't become an infinite digestive loop feeding on itself for eternity, without the need for more outside worlds? You gain a steady state, nobody else gets devoured…fair trade. - YOUR MORALITY OPERATES ON A SCALE INFINITESIMAL TO ONE SUCH AS GALACTUS. THESE CONCERNS ARE AS IMPORTANT TO ME AS THOSE OF AN ANT ARE TO YOU. THERE ARE FAR GREATER UNIVERSAL THREATS AT RISK IF THE COSMIC BALANCE IS DESTABILIZED. BEFORE SUCH AN EXPERIMENT PROCEEDS, I MUST PONDER THE EFFECTS ON THE UNIVERSAL SCALE. I WILL CONSULT WITH THE LIVING TRIBUNAL, ETERNITY, AND THE COSMIC COUNCIL. And eat rocky planets for fiber…but not Uranus, because it's too gassy. -THIS IS TRUE. ALTHOUGH THIS ENCOUNTER IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED, YOU HAVE ENHANCED THE POSSIBLE FUTURES OF ALL THAT WILL EVER BE. THIS WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.

The FF finish their Negative Zone saga! We've got aliens that look like salamanders, Reed rebuilding his own consciousness, and a plan to save the end of the world that worked because the Avengers are able to, um, well... okay, we can't tell why it worked. But it DID work and so the FF return to their own Earth in time to stop Annihulus. Or maybe just scare him off? In our mailbag section, we get corrected and then (probably) make more errors!
It's been a long time since we read any Alex Ross but today we decided to take a look at his newest book, Fantastic Four: Full Circle, a story exploring some of the FF's past with the Negative Zone. Alex Ross abandons his painterly for something a little different, and he also wrote this book too! Then we continue our long read of Batman: Knightfall with Chapter 8 in Detective Comics 662, a story that focuses on The Riddler while Batman hangs out with a monkey. Next Time: Secret Invasion #1-8
The FF are in the Negative Zone. The Negative Zone is an alternate universe which is different from our universe in that it is.... well, it's not that different. But it means Reed, Sue, Ben and Johnny are visiting a new planet every issue, meeting a new alien race and encountering a big ironic twist! Kinda a la Star Trek. Meanwhile super-mean bad guy Annihulus has taken up residence in the Baxter Building. More Negative Zone coverage next episode! In our mailbag, we have more pitches for our unnamed media segment and also questions about comics! __ SHOW INFORMATION Twitter: @ScrewItComics Instagram: @ScrewItComics Email: ScrewItComics@gmail.com Subscribe: Apple Podcasts Subscribe: Spotify
FF #250 has the FF vs Gladiator, plus the X-Men (kind of) and the Skrulls, in a double-sized fight-tastic story. Then #251 sets up what is going to be a run of stories set in the Negative Zone.

We've waited a long time for this one, but maybe not as long as our guest spent percolating on his subject. Alex Ross exhausted years thinking and rethinking the Fantastic Four. He desired a graphic reinterpretation of the characters that launched the Marvel Comics universe. A new coat of paint that would highlight what was so incredible about the sixties space race characters without tethering them to basic nostalgia. Fantastic Four: Full Circle spins directly from Jack Kirby and Stan Lee's iconic run, picking up story threads long dismissed by everyone except Alex Ross. The story resurrects a few old villains, plunging the team into the Negative Zone. The story works as a celebration and a blueprint for other creators to follow if they choose. We're ecstatic to have Ross on the podcast this week, digging into why he was compelled to shepherd Full Circle into reality. Blissfully, this conversation also works as a second opinion to our own CBCC sessions on Reed and Sue from last year. Like us, Ross has strong opinions about their romance and how they should interact as a couple. He's the biggest Fantastic Four fan of them all. Kevin Feige, do you have your copy yet?

One of the greatest comic book artists of our time returns with a reinvigorated new art style and brand new story about Marvel's Comics first family: The Fantastic Four. Alex Ross is known for his many comic book covers, fine art pieces, as well as illustrating such stories as Marvels, Kingdom Come, Earth X, Justice and many other outstanding works. Ross writes, draws, along with colors this unique Fantastic Four graphic novel published by Abrams Comic Arts. This story picks up with characters from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's infamous story in Fantastic Four #51 This Man... This Monster, which we encourage listeners to check out but it isn't necessary to appreciate the masterfully crafted tale. This self contained journey takes Mr. Fantastic, The Invisible Women, Human Torch, and The Thing to the Negative Zone when a familiar visitor from their past calls them back to the anti matter universe to help solve a problem only they can do. Just a typical day for this unique cast of characters. Ross takes these heroes back to their roots, while paying homage to a variety of influences that not only impacted the team, but himself as a comic book artist.

Intro More full recap in the catch-up episode Long & short - dropped BetterHelp, joined GonnaGeek, started a TikTok New Patrons - Mayors Allison & Birju, and Humble Citizen Joshua Background Invisible Woman (Susan Storm) created by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby in The Fantastic Four #1 (Nov 1961) Sue Storm is a founding member of the Fantastic Four - hit by cosmic rays during a space flight, and gained the power to turn invisible She and her brother Johnny grew up on Long Island - after their mother accidentally died in a car accident, their father became an alcoholic who went to prison for accidentally killing a loan shark Sue met her future husband Reed Richards when she was a young girl - when she got older, she met Reed again and they connected, eventually dating prior to the spaceflight As a member of the FF, Sue is originally meek and withdrawn, her invisibility only coming in handy to help the team when stealth is needed - she goes by the codename Invisible Girl She later discovers she can project invisible force fields, and with this new power comes a new self-confidence She and Reed get married, and she becomes pregnant with a child, Franklin - she leaves the team, and Johnny's girlfriend (the Inhuman Crystal) joins the team in her place The other team members travel to the Negative Zone to acquire the Cosmic Control Rod to help with Sue's pregnancy, since her irradiated body makes carrying a child difficult - after Franklin's birth, Annilhilus releases Franklin's full powerset - to protect the world, Reed shuts down Franklin's mind, causing Sue to leave him #BecauseComics They later reconcile with the help of Namor the Sub-Mariner, a romantic foil for Sue Sue's second pregnancy is stillborn, and her ensuing depression leads Psycho-Man to manipulate her into becoming Malice, Mistress of Hate - after Reed manipulates her into hating him legitimately, Psycho-Man's control is broken, and Sue puts him into a coma - the situation has a lasting impact on Sue, who changes her name to Invisible Woman, as the innocence within her died Sue takes over the FF during Reed's apparent death - he was time-displaced, and Sue's love for him never wavered despite entreaties from Namor The team encounters Valeria Von Doom, a being from an alternate future who is the child of Sue & Dr. Doom - Franklin later admits that after Sue's stillbirth, he created an alternate world where the child survived - Valeria is recreated as a baby in Sue's womb, and Dr. Doom assists in the childbirth - she is named Valeria after Victor's first true love #BecauseComics During Secret Invasion, she is kidnapped and taken out by Lyja, Johnny's ex-wife, who then posed as Sue to infiltrate the Baxter Building - Sue was rescued after the Invasion was turned back Secret Wars - On a ship trying to escape the Incursion, Sue and the entire FF minus Reed were killed when the ship was ripped apart - when Reed gained the Beyonders' ability after God Emperor Doom was defeated, he resurrected everyone who was killed, including his family Current runs Issues - Theme is Being noticed Jeanine - Being a strong woman in a male-dominated field & family Jeanine - Working with significant other & brother Philosophy/Psychology behind invisibility Break Plugs for Play Comics, Popcorn Psychology, and Howard Mackie Treatment In-universe - Give someone else power of invisibility, so Sue can see what it's like to be on the other side Out of universe - Skit (feat. Lauren from Legends of SHIELD) DOC: Hello Sue, I'm Dr. Issues. SUE: Hello, doctor, thanks for taking the time to speak with me. DOC: So, what can I do for you today? SUE: Anything that you consider important would be a big help to me. DOC: That's rather flattering, but I don't typically take the lead in a session unless it's absolutely necessary. SUE: That's a change for me. I usually have to pick and choose my spots depending on what's going on by the hour. DOC: Don't we all. I don't discriminate amongst topics, but the most common are relationships, work, family…feel free to interject SUE: I could write a book on all of those at this point. But, for the sake of simplicity, let's start with my husband. *sigh* DOC: Was that a sigh of how much you love him, or being exasperated with him? SUE: *half statement/half question* Both…? Reed is…well, I do my homework, so I know you've met Reed…of a kind. DOC: Yessss, yes. He was…eccentric SUE: You're being kind for no reason. He's a narcissist. You can say it. DOC: But that Reed was trying to take over the universe SUE: And mine is always trying to save it. Doesn't change the personality traits. *pause* And still, I know he loves me. He doesn't stray, he doesn't look to complain, and he's brilliant. Who am I to argue? DOC: Based on your description, you may be placing your emotional responses secondary to the idealistic view of your bond. That's difficult. SUE: It's harder now because I handle things differently. I used to acquiesce to his whims, but I don't need to do that anymore. I'm not subservient. I can hold my own. But…sometimes it gets one-sided. I can find ways to make him the center of my world, but he doesn't do the same. That's not fair. DOC: Indeed. I won't disagree with that. Do you have some way to cope with something that's gone on this long, or are you actually looking to change along with him? Maybe a couples sess SUE: *interrupting* NO. No…look, no offense, but I think any couples session you would try with both of us would end up looking at things from his view because that's just how things work. DOC: Fair enough. SUE: If only he could…nevermind, that's dangerous. DOC: What? SUE: See…I've had a perspective about my love with him that's unbreakable at this point. I'm not saying it to boast, but we've been tested repeatedly. I'm not going to waste my breath…ugh, why am I waffling about this? DOC: I dunno, if it's about wanderlust SUE: Namor. DOC: *pause* Huh. Well, then. This is a rare time that I must acknowledge I have no personal knowledge of that person, but SUE: *interrupting* I'm sure at this point he'd be considered a stalker in every sense of the word, and I don't think restraining orders are effective against a guy like that. But he won't DO anything if I don't allow it…have you ever heard of “what-if?” He burns that into anyone's soul he comes across. DOC: So I should delete this unsolicited email that says “URGENT MATTER RE: SAVING SUE FROM A MUNDANE LIFE PLEASE OPEN IMMEDIATELY FOR THE GOOD OF THE WORLD” ? SUE: That sounds on brand. Any opportunity to woo me, even if it's meant to be a confidential situation. DOC: You seem unphased by that. I'm legitimately concerned for the wellbeing of you and the ones you love! SUE: Ugh, you too? Please. A word of advice from the one considered the client: I've done this for a long time. You don't have to protect me. I'm sure it comes from a place of decency, but I'd rather have a sense of respect. DOC: Point taken. I concede that you must be an expert negotiator and clearly not a hostage. I think there's something underlying that. SUE: Plenty of practice. Love and loss, doctor. Love and loss…and war. DOC: Loss and war? Ouch. What's that about? SUE: If you don't mind, the loss part…let's not go there right now. DOC: OK, what about war? SUE: I've hinted that I can deal with men fighting as the lone woman in the room. Well, it's easier when it's over me. The challenge is when everyone else is picking their own battles and I'm expected to choose sides. DOC: My bias is to pick my own side, but I know that doesn't work for everyone. Who are you referencing? SUE: You know more than you think. You met Ben, right? DOC: Nice guy. Really smart. Self deprecating SUE: Ahhhh, so you were willing to cut to the heart of who he is but not Reed? Anyway, he tends to get into it with my brother. A Lot. DOC: I'm sure it's just SUE: HE CRUMPLED JOHNNY'S CAR INTO A BALL AFTER JOHNNY SHOT A FIREBALL INTO HIS FACE. DOC: That….yeah, that's intense. And you all work together? If I may SUE: *rapid-fire, as though she's run through this list numerous times* If you ask about splitting up, keeping distance, having a mediator, finding methods to nullify powers, go into other planes of existence, seek some sort of magical conduit to channel a better life, or fight to the death (I'd WIN, by the way) then you are barking up the wrong tree. DOC: You came up with all of that much quicker than I would have anticipated. I don't know if that's due to imaginative emotional catharsis or…uh…I'll just stick with that. SUE: Thank you. The point is, it's a challenge to deal with. And don't get me started on parenting. It seems like I'm the only one that considers the details, but everyone else wants to just look at the big picture. DOC: They get the highlights, you get the unedited blooper reel. Got it. SUE: Spot on! So…what do I do about it? All of it? DOC: Please take this with the kind nature that I'm relaying…with all due respect…in the nicest way...all things considered… SUE: Spill it DOC: I HAVE NO CLUE! You have just told me an incredibly complex dynamic of lifetime egos looking to coexist while leaning on you for servicing their physical and spiritual needs at the highest level, and you've not only survived, but in some way THRIVED despite all of this. I can be your vent man. I can look for blind spots, or should I say invis SUE: You're on a roll, don't ruin it DOC: Sorry. The point is, I can offer an outside perspective that coaches you towards self-actualization rather than a pill pusher that is trying to find problems. Maybe you needed to hear that. I don't know. SUE: *pause* You're serious about that? DOC: Yes! SUE: Just do me a favor then. DOC: What's that? SUE: *sound of phone notification* Here's a separate email address to forward any of Namor's…nonsense. Trust me. It's better to have a log so I don't have to repeat myself. This stuff happens in real time. DOC: *shudders* Ending (64:16) Recommended reading: Any FF run, or the Invisible Woman miniseries by Mark Waid Next episodes: Gambit, Mystique, Poison Ivy Review read: Lizardprince222 - Found this show at the beginning of the pandemic. It quickly became my Wednesday morning ritual. Not only is this podcast entertaining and comics focused. It is also a fun opportunity for introspective moments. Anthony & Doc Issues put in so much time and dedication into this podcast and it shows with every episode. 100/10 would recommend.

(8:56) We dive into Ms Marvel and explains how Marvel Phase 4 IS working and why. We talk Disney's contracts with their talent and how that ties to the Ezra Miller incidents.

We have all had time to digest what happened at the Marvel Studios panel at San Diego Comic Con 2022. Just where is everything going with the rest of Phase 4, and we speculate just exactly where Phase 5 and 6 are actually going outside the obvious. We talk Namor, Dr Doom, Kang, Rick Jones (yes we do), who is invading in Secret Invasion (psst, it isn't Skrulls), do we need Tony Stark back, how the Negative Zone could be the place that joins Phase 5, how vampires will work their way in, Union Jack and Captain Britain.

In this episode Sam and Henry talk about Superman's "Secret." Does he need it? Does it matter? We also cover Sam's trouble buying comics, how many DC Crises do we need? Are Lana and Clark actually best friends? What are Ally Alston's motivations and thoughts? We also have some drops from Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld and Superman The Movie in there. Shout outs to Motor City Comic-Con, the Superman Celebration in Metropolis, IL and more!S02E11 - “Truth and Consequences” Directed by:David Ramsey (Arrow)Writing Credits:Katie Aldrin and Jai Jamison We pick up right where we left off with Jon-El smirking at Lois, who is still standing on the porch with Jordan. Jon-El catches sight of his doppelganger, Jonathan, standing not too far away. He lunges at him and Jordan tries to intervene but Jon-El appears to be stronger and faster than him. Henry's Notes: Jordan used the words “bizarro self.” “You're my son and I love you and I'm not going to let anything happen to you.” Clark is the best. Do Clark and Lana have the same coat?Is the opposite of 1 day, 33 days?“If that's what the secret is doing, it's doing a crap job” - JonBizarro Jonathan is chewing up the scenery, so good. Incredibly violent what he did to Lana. Could've killed her!What is Sarah's shirt? "Merchant Unite?"Haha - Primus cover band “what's Primus”Jonathan looked like he was going to a rave in the Matrix - lolYes! Finally some John Henry and Nat science! More of this.Love hearing Lois say, “you're right. I'm sorry”“NEGATIVE ZONE?!” Uh oh, Here come the Fantastic FourIt's always confusing to me how effective and deadly kryptonite is. I never kills anyone right away. Brother vs Brother showdown! - Final punch could've been bigger.Just get the K out Lana! Jesus!I'm feeling kinda meh about the reveal. Like it seemed like some sort of romantic gesture but that's not the relationship they have. Nor have they really shown that Lana is Clark's best friend. So it sort of seemed like the kids and Lois got ramped up about the secret without any sort of previous set up.Nat and Steel - Is he going to destroy the portal?

Daniel Bedingfield Is Ultron! Hello, and welcome to episode 330 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. This week, we loiter in the aftermath of the Wolfman run on the Fantastic Four. Following all the high-stakes cosmic drama, it's time for something a little more grounded. Well, as grounded as a hyper-evolved scientist and an incursion from the Negative Zone by Blastarr can possibly be. Can our favourite blasting baddie twist the next stage of man's evolution to his will? Marv Wolfman, Bill Mantlo, John Byrne, Pablo Marcos, Carl Gafford, Irv Watanabe, Michael Higgins, Mark Gruenwald, Rich Buckler, and Al Milgrom present Fantastic Four #216 - Where There Be Gods! Featuring an arse-less Ben Grimm (no, really - those rocky buns are definitely missing in action), and the realisation that it can't really be Franklin's fault that he's badly written...

How To Evolve A Watcher Hello, and welcome to episode 328 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. The door to the Negative Zone has been opened. From within the depths comes one of the most terrifying beings, raw power personified, fueled by a lust for conquest. Only four beings can stand in the path of this mysterious fig- oh, they just named the comic after him? Oh, right. Hey, everyone - Blastarr's back! Marv Wolfman, John Byrne, Joe Sinnott, Carl Gafford, Joe Rosen, Jim Shooter, Ron Wilson, and Joe Rubinstein present Fantastic Four #215 - Blastarr! In which hyper-evolution doesn't mean becoming amoral, New York suburban street life gets a harsh lesson in the practicalities of privately-funded scientific research, and a long-anticipated reveal regarding one of the podcast hosts is... uh... revealed.

No Such Thing As The X-Factor Hello, and welcome to episode 252 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. This week, we're returning to the many, many subplots in progress in the main title, with Fantastic Four #182. Between revolution in the Negative Zone, child abduction in Whisper Hill, spousal impersonation in the Baxter Building, and the removal of as many extraneous characters as the writers can get away with, this is one heck of a full issue. The fullness starts with the credit box, which lists Archie Goodwin, Len Wein, Jim Shooter, and Bill Mantlo as writers, alongside Sal Buscema (who we really like, despite the evidence to the contrary) and Joe Sinnott. They come together to present the misadventures of the Mildly Disturbed Thinker, and the long-awaited return of... ZANTE!

You Can't Tie A Knot In Your Neck Hello, and welcome to episode 250 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. It's celebration time for The Fantasticast, as we reach our milestone 250th episode. And how do we mark this huge moment in our history? Er... by doing nothing about it at all. Instead, we get stuck right into Fantastic Four #181, which sees the FF splintered and scattered across New York and beyond. Reed's fighting against Annihilus, Sue's contending with the return of Agatha Harkness, and Johnny's confronting PTSD with the subtlety of the Presidential tweet. Roy Thomas, Ron Wilson, and Joe Sinnott present Fantastic Four #181, a tale of battle in the Negative Zone, dredging the Hudson River, kidnapping a child, and watching a marathon of film noir with an extra-dimensional shape-changing chaotic being with a penchant for green and purple.

Hardback, Softback, Any Kind Of Back Hello, and welcome to episode 246 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. This week, we're peeling back the covers of Fantastic Four #179. Reed Richards is lost and almost naked in the Negative Zone, forced to hunt bats for sustenance and to make fire from quite literally nothing. His doppelganger, The Brute, has taken his place on the team. Thundra is flirting outrageously with Ben, Sue's got her doubts, and Tigra just wants lunch. Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway, Ron Wilson and Joe Sinnott present a tale full of double-crossing, film noir marathons, almost-pizza, a discussion of Kai Cole's recent statement regarding her marriage, unlikely giant robots, and sunken garbage scows. Oh, and a completely bland number one single. Send in your feedback to fantastic4podcast@gmail.com, leave your comments at the libsyn site, or at www.TheFantasticast.com.

Cosmic M&Ms Hello, and welcome to episode 199 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. It's time to get to grips with the middle game. The middle of the game. The intermediary stage. Not the end, neither the beginning, but the all important middle. The. Middle. Game. It's Fantastic Four #156, featuring some of Rich Buckler's best panel layouts to date, and Roy Thomas and Len Wein playing some great games with exactly who's perspective is driving the story. We're joined by Tom Harris, host of Radio Free Asgard, to revisit his first ever Fantastic Four issue. Doctor Doom is manipulating the Silver Surfer, the Reavers are eyeing up the equipment in the torture chamber, there's LSD in the Negative Zone, and a free binder with part one.

Namor's Onesie Hello, and welcome to episode 165 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. It's a triple-comic week on the Fantasticast. First up, the main event, Fantastic Four #140, which pulls together just about every unresolved plot line since Jack Kirby left the book. Where did Agatha Harkness go? What's going on with Franklin's glowing eyes? Will Sue and Reed ever reunite? Thanks to the return of our favourite buck-toothed, armour-clad insectoid ruler of the Negative Zone, a sense of purpose and direction returns to the book. And, as if all of this wasn't enough, we also find out the origins of Annihilus. Elsewhere, we're also taking a look at the beginnings of one of the most superfluous mandated pieces of superhero technology, the Spider-Mobile, in Amazing Spider-Man #126. We then follow up with some big changes for Namor in Sub-Mariner #67, where a heavy dose of nerve-gas leads to the introduction of a brand new costume.

Peter Parker's Chin's Secret Identity Hello, and welcome to episode 143 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. It's time for another team-up, in more ways than one. We're covering Marvel Team-Up #2: The Frightful Four are back, with a surprising new addition to the team, and only the Human Torch can stop them. Aided and abetted by Spider-Man, it's the teenage heroes of the Marvel Universe against the Fantastic Four's greatest villains, as well as an unexpected threat from the Negative Zone. All this comics goodness if brought to you by Gerry Conway, Ross Andru and Jim Mooney. Teaming up with us to tackle this titanic tussle is writer and podcaster James Hunt. James is a regular feature writer at Den of Geek, co-writer of A Brief History Of Time Travel, and part of the panel at the excellent Cinematic Universe podcast.

Together, all three hosts find themselves carbon-dating Marvel fashions, discovering the Human Torch in polyester, subjecting someone to unexpected and violent disrobing, and musing the possibilities of Garfield Minus Garfield, Plus Lying Cat...

Because It's About Time Someone Did Again! Hello, and welcome to episode 138 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. We're taking a break from our usual format this week to take a look back, in the second of three special episodes to celebrate the release of the new Fantastic Four movie. In the style of the rather wonderful Rachel and Miles X-Plain The X-Men, we're taking look back at issues 52-120 and annuals 4-6 of The Fantastic Four. Starting with the Black Panther and ending with Gabriel, The Air Walker it's a breakneck romp through the origins of the Marvel Universe. Featuring Doctor Doom's finest moments, the development of the Negative Zone, the birth of Franklin Richards, the introduction of Annihilus, and the Creature From The Black Lagoon. Well, they can't all be winners... Featuring podcaster and friend-of-the-show Michael Bailey as 'Digits' - check out his shows From Crisis To Crisis: A Superman Podcast and Views From The Longbox!

Unbeatable Benny Grimm Hello, and welcome to episode 126 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. And we're back. This week, Steve and Andy are joined once again by Chris Thompson of Orbital Comics in Conversation to take a look at Fantastic Four #110, and hopefully answer the question of just how Reed Richards can escape the ever-watchful eye of Annihilus in the Negative Zone. We're also taking a brief look at Avengers #88, with plotting by SF legend Harlan Ellison. We've also got mention of the first credited female creator on the Fantastic Four (sort of), more ABBA than you can shake a Pierce Brosnan-shaped stick at, a radical reinterprtation of the catchiest theme tune of 2015, and a superb Harlan Ellison anecdote.

No Smoking Except In The Designated (Negative) Zones Hello, and welcome to episode 125 of The Fantasticast. Each week, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland guide you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. This week, we're returning to the Negative Zone for the second full appearance of Annihilus, The Death That Walks, in Fantastic Four #109. As befits the return of one of our favourite villains (and Janus, the Nega-Man), we've roped in a special guest host. The Pop Culture Hound himself, Chris Thompson, joins us from Orbital Comics to explore this issue. As well as being joined by one of the best comics creator interviewers out there, we find the time to discuss just what exactly the point of an extend-o-platform is, casual racism towards gargoyles, Reed Richards in the 25th Century, and Clive Dunn. Yes, Clive Dunn. No, I'm not explaining why - you'll have to listen for that! Chris's podcast backlog can be found at popculturehound.net. New episodes of Orbital Comics In Conversation can be found at http://www.orbitalcomics.com/podcast/. You can also follow Chris on twitter where he is @popculturehound. As a small addendum, the Chip Zdarsky event discussed at the start of the show isn't last week, it's today - Saturday April 11th. Grab your Sex Criminals, conceal them in a brown paper bag, and head down to get them signed!

The FanBrosShow One Year Anniversary Episode. If you had told me a year ago that the FanBrosShow would achieve the greatness that we did in our first year I would have believed you. Because from the moment the Fantastic Four set out on the spaceship to conquer the final frontier I knew we had something special on our hands. But let Jamie Righetti tell you that as we welcome back our friend and compadre to ship, fresh off finishing her new novel. Yup she's bout to be a published author and all that. You know how we do. But we couldn't get one without getting the other member of the Four that you've been waiting for, Chico Leo makes his triumphant return to the ship on the FanBrosShow One Year Anniversary Episode. You can finally learn what drove the man and the legend off the ship to explore the Negative Zone all on his own. So buckle your seatbelts, make sure you've shielded your ship against the cosmic rays and join the FanBros as we kick off the eternal celebration of our one year anniversary! Eternal?
