Fantasticast Episode 51 — Agents Of F.O.U.R.

Posted on 09/28/2013 by Charlie

Yes, the episode title is a blatant piece of attention-grabbing, what with the release of the TV show.

This week, I get to join Andy in sitting around while Steve summarizes this week’s issue! And what an issue! Having been teased with Gorgon last week, we now get a full bevy of Inhumans this week. Crystal. Lockjaw. Karnak. Triton. Black Bolt. Kirby’s opened up his imagination and letting everything spill out.

Along the way, we find time to do the Ninja Rap, have a gimp on the show, and sing the Dogtanian theme. Plus, the guys make a few references to shows that I don’t get because I’m from a different countries.

Posted on 09/25/2013 by Charlie

Computers all over the world are going haywire, which was even a big deal back in 1980! Who could possibly be behind it all? Well, don’t look at the cover to Action Comics 514, because it kinda spoils it. Plus, Superboy and the Legion try desperately to find a way to save Princess Projectra from the Pain Plague!

Fantasicast Episode 50 — The Gentleman’s Name Is… Niemeyer!

Posted on 09/21/2013 by Charlie

Stephen Lacey and Andrew Leyland were nice enough to invite me on for their never-to-be-reached-again-unless-they-restart-the-numbering fiftieth episode of The Fantasticast! As this episode was posted, Marvel was hosting a liveblog revealing the scope of the upcoming Inhumanity event. Two days ago, Marvel released a trade paperback collecting this issue and several others, chronicling the origins of The Inhumans. And it all begins here: Issue 44 of The Fantastic Four – The Gentlemen’s Name Is Gorgon. And as if this wasn’t enough, the title welcomes its new regular inker, the legendary Joe Sinnott.

Along the way, we discuss Jack Kirby’s influence on Bruce Timm, the best Golden Age penciller, and realise that just one corpse of Jon M Wilson in the basement isn’t really enough…
