 Ep 3: The Greatest Fantastic Four stories ever told | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 7:50

The latest Fantastic Four movie was recently released to some very lackluster reviews which is too bad as Marvel’s first family is quite deserving of a great cinematic adaptation. They are also well deserving of a full episode of Comically to explore their rich history, but that will come at a later date. Instead, let’s spend a little bit of time talking about some of the greatest Fantastic Four stories ever told.Show NotesFantastic Four by Waid & Wieringo Ultimate Collection, Book 1Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman, Vol. 4Fantastic Four by John Byrne Omnibus - Volume 1Fantastic Four Visionaries - Walter Simonson, Vol. 3Marvel Masterworks: Fantastic Four Vol. 5

Welcome to another episode of Comically!In our second episode, we look at the interesting history of Ant-Man. Ant-Man may seem like a bit of a joke hero to some, particularly those of you who are just being introduced to the character via the recently released film, but the character has over 50 years of history and a story as complicated as the many mental states of Hank Pym. Follow us on a journey of the character, as we explore his origin, cultural inspiration, high and low points, and what may come for Ant-Man in the ever evolving Marvel cinematic universe.
