Before Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives, the hosts of the Major Issues Podcast dive into two of the most essential stories in Fantastic Four history! First, they revisit the legendary Coming of Galactus trilogy by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby — a cosmic epic that introduced the world-devouring Galactus and the tragic Silver Surfer, changing Marvel Comics forever. Then, they break down Fantastic Four Annual #6, which marks the first appearance of Franklin Richards, the omega-level child of Reed and Sue, and pits the FF against the deadly threat of Annihilus in the Negative Zone!
Cosmic stakes, groundbreaking storytelling, and the birth of legacy — it’s a double dose of classic Fantastic Four to prepare you for what’s next in Marvel’s First Family!

In this week’s episode of the Major Issues Podcast, the hosts revisit one of the most beloved Superman stories of all time: All Star Superman by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely! With James Gunn’s Superman film just days away, we take a deep dive into the comic that helped redefine the Man of Steel for a modern era and reportedly inspired Gunn’s take on the character. We break down the emotional, philosophical, and mythological weight of the 12-issue epic, explore how it celebrates everything iconic about Superman, and debate which moments might find their way to the big screen. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering the story for the first time, this is the perfect prep before Clark Kent returns to theaters!

This week, the hosts revisit Judge Dredd (1995) for its 30th anniversary! With Sylvester Stallone behind the visor, this cult classic aimed to bring the 2000 AD icon to life—complete with oversized armor, dystopian chaos, and questionable comedy relief. But beyond the explosions and one-liners, the crew dives into the film’s deeper themes: authoritarianism, identity, and the cost of absolute justice. Was Judge Dredd ahead of its time, or just a stylish misfire with a killer helmet? Three decades later, we put the law on trial.

In this episode, the hosts revisit the neon-soaked, over-the-top world of Batman Forever in honor of its 30th anniversary! From Val Kilmer’s stoic take on the Dark Knight to Jim Carrey’s unhinged Riddler and Tommy Lee Jones’ chaotic Two-Face, we explore what worked, what didn’t, and why this Joel Schumacher-directed spectacle remains one of the most divisive Batman films ever made. Was it a misunderstood gem or the beginning of the Bat-franchise’s descent into camp? Tune in as we dissect the film’s legacy, behind-the-scenes drama, and the tantalizing myth of the Schumacher Cut. Holy anniversary, Batman!

This week, the Major Issues Podcast heads back to Basin City to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Sin City (2005)! Join us as we break down Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s groundbreaking adaptation — from its striking visual style and all-star cast to its brutal, pulpy storytelling. We explore how the film changed comic book movies, whether its anthology format still holds up, and why Marv, Dwight, and Hartigan remain unforgettable anti-heroes. Two decades later, does Sin City still pack a punch? We’ve got the answers.
