Get ready to turn up the heat—literally! Gimmick Cover Summer hits its blazing finale as the Unspoken Issues crew dives into one of the most unforgettable white-hot covers of the 90s: Fantastic Four #371! This one’s got everything—cosmic chaos, costume controversies, and Johnny Storm going full Nova. Yeah, you read that right. 🔥
Jesse, Chris, and Evan are back in the time machine, cracking open the pages of a comic that gave us not just a fiery gimmick cover, but one of the boldest (and most debated) wardrobe changes in Sue Storm's history. Add in a rogue Watcher, alien invasions, and Ben Grimm cracking wise every other panel, and you’ve got yourself a proper 90s comic stew.
If you remember the days when Fantastic Four flirted with edginess and everyone was “going Nova” to deal with their feelings, this one’s for you. So power up the Baxter Building’s time machine and join the team as they relive the issue that had the Marvel Universe—and Empire State University—burning with drama.
