  • 236 - Fantastic Four: The Coming of Galactus + Thunderbolts #9
    Nov 22 2024

    Y'all ever heard of this Galactus guy? Always running around in red and green, throwing gas bombs at the Fantastic Four? Yeah, that's classic Galactus.

    Dude does way more than just planet-eating.

    We read all about it in his very first appearance in Fantastic Four #48-50.

    The Silver Surfer makes his first appearance too, spending most of these issues talking to a blind sculptor. Classic Silver Surfer.

    Then we move onto Thunderbolts #9, which was mostly an Avengers flashback. We spend a lot of time in the 60s this week!

    Next Time: We conclude the Death of Captain America in Captain America (2004) #37-42!

  • 235 - John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dangerous Habits + Thunderbolts #8
    Oct 30 2024

    John Constantine is a badass. He's such a badass that his series is called Hellblazer. He's such a badass that he smokes and gets lung cancer and then tricks demons into cure his lung cancer for him. Wow, what a badass.

    We've only seen this guy in the pages of Swamp Thing, so we're reading Hellblazer #41-46 from 1991 when Garth Ennis took over writing duties.

    Then we finally say goodbye to the Elements of Doom in Thunderbolts #8.

    Next Time: The Fantastic Four meet Galactus for the first time in Fantastic Four 48-50.

    Oct 10 2024

    Spooky season is swampy season here at SOMFRC and we're back to Swamp Thing! We're reading volume 5 of Alan Moore's run with issues #51-56.

    Swamp Thing has no more world-ending catastrophes to worry about, but his girlfriend's being persecuted for being into plants! Nothing to do but take over Gotham, get into a fight with Batman, and then spend a cool time in space.

    Then we move onto Thunderbolts #7, where the team disobeys a direct order from Baron Zemo!

    Next Time: We check out Garth Ennis's time with John Constantine in Hellblazer: Dangerous Habits (Hellblazer #41-46)
