Episode 26: Fantastic Four Unlimited #1

There are only two issues of Fantastic Four on the docket for this podcast. But with it being an oversized issue like this, host Nathaniel Wayne had to bring in one half of the Fantasticast. Andrew Leyland comes in to help take a look at what happens when Marvel’s First Family goes EXTREME.

Ok so this doesn’t work, but the interior art is a different art team, so maybe it gets better.

And now for some interior pages from the comic written by Roy Thomas and with art by Herb Trimpe.

Ok, so this isn’t off to a good start on the inside either.

Notice the guy behind Black Panther and to the right. This has got to be his first day on the job.

I don’t even have words at this point.

“Somebody call 911, the boss had a stroke!”

Episode 25: Sabretooth #1&2

Episode 24: Spawn #6&7

Does anybody feel like Spawn is on the ground going “I can’t… he’s too EXTREME!”

Guns that just sort of leak fire when you hold the barrel seem impractical to me but then again I might not be EXTREME enough to get it.
