Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

Before Spider-Man, X-Men, or the Incredible Hulk were ever imagined, the Marvel Universe we know today began with Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's first issue of The Fantastic Four, a superhero team made up of the elastic Mister Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Human Torch, and The Thing. Marvel's First Family were a new type of superhero that had personal problems as well as super-villains to fight. In print, the comic was an instant hit, but in theaters, the Fantastic Four have a less-than-fantastic cinematic history. Now join Stuart, Arnie, and Jakob as they continue their look at all the Marvel Comics movie adaptations with all three Fantastic Four feature films.
