In this debut episode, I kick off Reading the Multiverse with Fantastic Four #1–4. The explosive start of Marvel’s Silver Age and the spark that would ignite the entire MCU. From the team’s chaotic origin to their first encounters with Skrulls and the Sub-Mariner, these early adventures set the tone for everything Marvel would become.
