If you want to sell a comic book, put monkeys or apes on the cover. This comic does not do that. If you want to wind down a book quickly, put the Red Ghost and his apes in the book. They are here. Still, it is an enjoyable read. Let's start off with the Watcher in space. It seems like he found himself a friend. Aw, that is so sweet. The ultimate bachelor pad, a great view, solitude, and a soulmate. What could possibly go wrong. Oh great. Like ants at a picnic, the Ant-astic Four and Company

What is that sound in the distance....? Is that a horn, calling young warriors forth to compete for the glory and honor of their schools or themselves? Or, is that the siren song of a trickster that is planning to kidnap some brats and force them to fight to the death? Well, Arcade is blowing the trumpet, so you decide. Thanks to Julie Power for cameoing in this one book so we could talk about this interesting and cool series. A fun idea that takes off from some of the prior books we have read

Into every run of the Fantastic Four, there must come an Impossible Man issue. This is that issue. So, pull on your purple trunks, affix your green-painted green cone-head, and be prepared to be silly. Or just try to sneak your mad uncle into the bathroom. Before we head into any adventure, we need to prepare. And the first thing we need to do is to pack the car and get it ready for the trip. nothing I like better than a well packed vehicle, fully prepped and ready to travel. And you better not

There is a bright light and a crashing wave, and that can only mean that The Fire and Water Podcast Network has opened their portal into our studio! And walking out of that portal, is Ryan Daly, the host of Cheers Cast, Batman Knightcast, Fire and Water Records, and many other shows. What fresh hell will he bring to us?

We got this. You know what else would help get through this book? A hot dog. A really good German style link. The Costco dogs are good in a pinch, but I am talking about one of those handcrafted deli types. The ones that say your name when you throw them on the grill. Enough delaying. Let's get

Infinity: The Hunt has ended, and now we are left with the cleanup...and this miniseries. The reaction to Thanos's invasion, by the Inhumans, was to unleash clouds of Terrigen Mist. The reaction by Marvels comics to that event, was to bring us...this mess. So, grab your cell phones, and start posting, because apparently that is the future. You may be looking at this book, and after the prior series, you are hoping for a nice, simple story. Maybe something about the friends, we made along the

In order to talk about this issue, we need to learn how to speak whale. Some think that the key to learning a new language is to listen to tapes while you sleep.

The Hunt shall continue until morale improves. Or until we finish this mini-series, whichever comes first. My money is on the mini-series. I mean, we are almost there.
