Feast on fish and chips with Paul Cornell as we discuss where he stands on the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby debate, how his UK mind was blown the first time he saw a U.S. issue of The Avengers, why fannish history fascinates him, the reason he went the self-funding route for Who Killed Nessie (and what that did to his blood pressure), how some of his Doctor Who fan fiction eventually became canon, the reason he's suspicious of nostalgia, how he knows when ideas pop into his head which of his many projects they're right for, the legacy comics characters he'd love to write more of, what he learned from the great Terrance Dicks, how he manages to collaborate while remaining friends with his co-creators, his fascination with Charles Fort, why he announced there'd be no more Doctor Who in his future, and much more.

It's our 175th episode, and just before Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 drops we cover Space Jesus HIMself, Adam Warlock!  Issue 175 - Adam Warlock Intro GotG v3 comes out Friday Reminder of PuchiCon panel  Background (3:08) Adam Warlock created by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby in Fantastic Four #66-67 (Sept.-Oct. 1967) Originally named Him, he was a genetically engineered human who rebelled against his creators, the Enclave High Evolutionary names him Warlock and gives him the Soul Gem, and a group of teenagers he encounters call him Adam He encounters the Universal Church of Truth, run by Magus - he learns Magus is an alternate version of himself from the future, so he kills another future version of himself to prevent the Magus from existing During these adventures, he allies himself with Gamora, Pip the Troll, and even Thanos at one point - after Thanos turns on them with the Infinity Gems, Adam is captured inside the Soul Gem, but temporarily escapes to defeat Thanos Infinity Gauntlet - Adam and other Marvel heroes band together to defeat Thanos, and Adam ends up with the Gauntlet - charged by the Living Tribunal to separate the stones, he gives one each to Gamora, Pip, Drax, Moondragon, and a reformed Thanos Before he gave up the gauntlet, he separated his good and evil sides, creating the Goddess and the Magus, which triggers Infinity War and Infinity Crusade Later joins the new version of the Guardians of the Galaxy following Annihilation: Conquest He becomes Magus once again, but is killed and resurrected The new reincarnated Warlock is sought out by Annihilus to power a reality-destroying weapon, which succeeds - Warlock's essence appeals to the One-Above-All, who recreates the world and restores things to where they were Decapitated by Gamora, who was on the hunt for the Infinity Gems to reclaim a portion of herself lost inside the Soul Gem - resurrected yet again, and after reality was restored he gave the Gems sentience and sent them off to fend for themselves, meaning he no longer controls the Soul Gem Issues (Theme is the Uncanny Valley of Human Perfection) (9:11) Genetically created to be the perfect human - he is among them but not of them Purges self of emotion, which creates the Magus and the Goddess (17:13) Worshiped by Universal Church of Truth, which he discovered is run by Magus (21:30) Break (33:52) Plugs for Bedknobs & Broomflicks, Ignorance was Bliss, and Meredith Finch Treatment (35:06) In-universe - Ponder idea of who God prays to in order to find alternative options Out of universe - Patients who focus on the world writ large instead of their own personal issues (38:43) Skit (42:15) Hello Adam, I'm Dr. Issues. - Good day, Doctor. So what can I do for you today? -You are a mental health professional, correct? Yes. -Good. Then analyze my thoughts. Um…okay. -*starts abruptly* I often give strong consideration to how the universe could be a better place. There are so many things that trouble me. I try to create safeguards so nothing gets out of hand, but that doesn't work in a vacuum. I can't imagine it would. So -*interrupting* Indeed. I figured delegating to others would limit any consolidation of power, but it just made the subsequent problems unpredictable. Perhaps you should take a more active role then -But when I do that I get accused of being too heavy handed. Heavy is the head that wears the crown -*deadpan* No I meant heavy handed because it was a gauntlet.Anyway, where was I? Oh, right the whole destruction of existence as we know it. I ponder how to best manage the combination of allies and enemies without angering too many people at once. So far I have yet to determine the exact balance to make everyone happy. If failure is the mother of success, then I have spawned innumerable children.  It sounds like you have plenty of experience. What have you learned along the way? -To avoid yes men. You seem like the type of person to intentionally make people uncomfortable for your own amusement, so I figured you could prevent me from aligning with sycophants.  I…I…thaaanks? I don't quite know what to make of that.-I'm sure you'll understand more as you learn more about me. Or you'll go insane yourself from dealing with the power of the cosmos for too long if I stick around. Either way, you'll be serving a good purpose. Were you available to an earlier me at another time, you may have been considered for a spot on the Infinity Watch. I'm not sure this is practical…for you, or for me. I'm not as philosophical as you may think. At least, not on a regular basis. -Who's being philosophical? I'm war room planning with you. That sounds grandiose. -No, it's not. I still have a fragment of the vision stone. If you wish to understand further, I'll show you. *insert whatever sound effects* *pause* Nothing in my training or experience will EVER prepare me for the type of stuff that patients like you put me through.  What is my role in all of this…madness? Death? Destruction? Is this predicting -No, this is what's happening somewhere at sometime and I'm trying to gather my thoughts so the damage is limited.  I get it, I get it. No offense…or take offense, I don't care…Why are you on my couch when you could, oh I don't know…DO ANYTHING TO END THIS? -Your frustration is noted. But you may be familiar with “measure twice, cut once” Then measure quicker. -Well, I have the idea that if I segment my focus on *Interrupting* STOP. No more segregating, or delegating, or pondering, or calculating, or plotting, or scheming, or idealizing. Do it yourself. It doesn't have to be perfect. People will get hurt, perhaps on a massive scale. But for someone so idealistic about what the perfect answer should be, you let it all get in the way of imperfect action that can be improved upon later. -Your dramatic presentation is overstated, but appreciated. But be forewarned, anything I do beyond this session will have dire consequences *simultaneously as last word* Consequences on the universe as we know it yadda yadda yadda. If I blink out of existence I'm sure you or one of your compatriots will find some way to reset everything…and even if they don't I wouldn't be around to know about it anyway. How can I be more comfortable about this stuff than you are? -Your reputation as flippant precedes you… It's uncommon for me to encounter someone that gets lost in the weeds more than I do. You manage to lose yourself in it. -I don't agree with that. I know for a fact that without my intervention, none of us would exist. If I don't take care, the next time that happens I won't be able to do it again. Are you even listening to yourself? How am I supposed to help you if you're mixing a predetermined outcome with a nihilistic future unless we thread the needle? I'm not exactly the best sounding board for that kind of stuff because I'm too optimistic of a pessimist….great, now I'm not making sense. -Don't fret. If you learn to channel your inner existential god then you'll be just fine. *totally snaps* That's it. I'm done. I've had it. You're too heady for me. I've dealt with immortal beings, unstoppable monsters, ageless domineering psychopaths…you sir, are beyond what I can comprehend. I'm just going to sit back, take some deep breaths, and watch as all of existence unfolds in the time it takes for you to explain how I'm supposed to help you in just one session. -Are you done? Yes. -Good. Then in your incessant whining I did manage to formulate a proposal to the living tribunal about the value of your practice on a galactic level. *pause* come again? -Your honesty and humility in the face of overwhelming odds are still an asset whether you accept them or not. I'm no fool. You know of my rivals, I'm sure of it, even if you can't divulge such wisdom…and as you said, you persevered. Don't think that this session is the end…it is just the beginning. Any diagnosis you have for me, will likely be different than what you would have for…others like me. *exasperated* Are you trying to tell me that I just got roped into some sort of…Infinity Clinic?! -If that suits your tastes. From what I understand, you will be made invulnerable during said sessions, so you don't have to concern yourself with retribution. But it only lasts for the session itself, and is at the whims of He who is above all.  I guess I can't say no to that, huh? - No. Then…I guess good luck with saving everyone again and make sure to bring your journal with you so I can understand whatever it is that happens. I just wish I were less professional so I could bring some popcorn. - If you like I can will some to appear for y- No, no, no need. Let's just… keep it above board. - As you wish.

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.

Nice going, Galactus.   Next Time: Dr. Doom steals the Silver Surfer's powers in Fantastic Four 57-60, by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby!

Ironically, despite not having full Jack Kirby art, they are the best issues in the series since the debut issue.
