The first family of Marvel finally joins the MCU. You know you've all been dying to hear what Josef has to say about this one. Join us for a, detailed and, quite frankly, surprising discussion on Fantastic Four: First Steps!  *SPOILER ALERT* Should go without saying, but we go well into  spoiler territory on this one. We definitely recommend saving this episode until you've seen the film.

Marveling at Marvel's Marvels

Inspired by last episode's discussion around Peepers, we dig deep into 1977's Captain America Annual #4, written and drawn by Jack Kirby. In the course of this discussion, we'll tell you all about Magneto's supporting team of weirdos who one day go on to become Mutant Force! And did we mention Mister One? He's the bizarre little fella pictured on the episode thumbnail. We talk about him, too. You'll love it. Josef insisted we call the episode "Mutant Force" instead of "1977's Captain America Annual #4, written and drawn by Jack Kirby". You be the judge of whether that was the right call...
