It's a new year and a new season with the Comic Canon Revival!  And what better way than with a comic book family franchise that ushered Marvel into the silver age, the Fantastic Four.  On this episode we take a microscopic look at Fantastic Four: Unthinkable, an FF story penned by legendary comic writer Mark Waid  that sees Marvel's first family being plagued by a new incarnation of their arch-nemesis Doctor Doom.   Unthinkable has everything you could want from a Fantastic Four adventure and then some and it was the perfect thing to usher in a new season.

On this episode we're joined by friend of the show Wes to discuss "Wake the Devil," a Hellboy story that exemplifies what makes the work of Mike Mignola so damn good.  "Wake the Devil"  is a clash of mythologies and folk lore that's equal parts horror, comedy, noir, and super hero action adventure, but it somehow transcends all those genres to become a stone-fisted whole greater than the sum of its parts.

 This episode gets political as friend of the pod, Steven, drops by to talk about the soul shattering graphic novel and political allegory about the invasion of Iraq, Pride of Baghdad.  Written by Brian K. Vaughan with art by Niko Henrichon, Pride of Baghdad's power is no less diminished today, and reading it now reminds us that the Iraq War isn't settled history.  It's and open wound that's has not yet be able to heal. 

On this episode the hilarious comic and all around wonderful person Amber Bixby sits down to talk about Black Hole by Charles Burns, one of the most devastatingly heartbreaking comic book stories of the modern era.  Using the conceit of a horrifying new STD that creates grotesque and even supernatural disfigurement in its victims, Black Hole explores adolescent alienation and the vulnerability of youth to both material and social poverty in a way no other graphic novel has.
