The Fantasticast Episode 69: Fantastic Four #60 - The Peril And The Power

The Fantasticast Episode 69

After nearly two-and-a-half years, Steve and Andy reach the conclusion of their journey. With their coverage of Fantastic Four #60, they have exhausted the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby issues collected by Marvel in Omnibus form. Today, we clobber our final vagrant.

Such sad tidings aside, we also have one of the best fights seen yet in the Fantastic Four as the team go head-to-head with the cosmically-powered Doctor Doom, with the fate of the planet hanging in the balance.

All this, and a special appearance from Professor Alan Middleton!

Don't forget to answer our Listener Question Of The Month: We want to know the single issue that sums up the Fantastic Four for you!

The Fantasticast Episode 68: Fantastic Four #59 - Doomsday!

The Fantasticast Episode 68

Hello, and welcome to the 68th episode of the show! Your hosts, Steve Lacey and Andy Leyland, are all fired up and ready to look at Fantastic Four #59: Doomsday!

First, though, there's the small matter of our Listener Question of the Month, where we asked our listeners to tell us their feel good Fantastic Four reading experiences. Our feedback was limited, but we've gathered it all together anyway. There's also a new Listener Question of the Month for you all to answer... but you'll have to listen to the show to find out what that is.

Then it's off to Fantastic Four #59, wherein Doctor Doom poses a lot, the Fantastic Four cower a lot, Black Bolt shouts a lot, Attilan suddenly gains a population, and the longest-running subplot in Marvel Comics get wrapped up (a bit).

The Fantasticast Episode 67: Fantastic Four #58 - The Dismal Dregs Of Defeat

The Fantasticast Episode 67

The Silver Surfer: Imprisoned and drained. Doctor Doom: Enhanced with the power cosmic. The Inhumans: Still trapped. The Fantastic Four: Blissfully unaware of Doom's power, and wilfully ignorant of unusual lightning strikes.

Professor Alan Middleton: Still here after an entire week. His family miss him. He's eaten all the cereal and won't go and buy some more. Terrible house guest. Although he did write a synopsis for Fantastic Four #58, which saved Steve and Andy the bother of doing so.

Along the way, we pay tribute to Jack Kirby to mark the 20th anniversary of his passing, get involved in a detailed conversation regarding the benefits of renting vs buying in the context of discovering your borther-in-law's former college rival gaining unimaginable power, and remark on just how wonderful Doctor Doom is. That last bit may just be Alan...

The Fantasticast Episode 66: Fantastic Four #57 - Enter… Doctor Doom!

The Fantasticast Episode 66

So, who likes Latverian monarchs? Who likes cosmically-powered ex-world-eater heralds? Who likes surfing? Who would like to see all three combined, and served with a side-salad of granule-based supervillain? And how would you like if such a story were to be covered on the show in the presence of the Cultural Attache to the Embassy of Latveria (or whatever his title is)?

We think you all would, which is why Steve and Andy are proud to welcome back to the Fantasticast... Professor Alan Middleton! Alan joins us as we start our coverage of one of the most epic stories Stan and Jack ever told. Fantastic Four #57 is the first of four issues to feature Doctor Doom and the usurped power of the Silver Surfer. If you thought it looked pretty poor in Rise of the Silver Surfer, we three are here to show you how it should have been done.

Oh, and one of the biggest outtakes ever.
