  2. Marvel Ultimate Alliance with Perry Constantine (Superhero Cinephiles, Japan on Film)

    This week on play comics we ask ourselves what happens if you you can’t decide what you want to make a game about. Should you just give up? Should you really dig into your soul and decide what you’re super passionate about? Should you look and see if there’s any other related media coming out that you can tie this game into? Or should you act like you’re at the end of five different boxes of sugary cereal and justice dump the mall into a single bowl and see what happens?

    There’s certainly one thing that I made my mind up about this one, and that’s how Perry Constantine from Superhero Cinephiles and Japan on Film needed to come by and help me make sure that I kept everything straight here. And it’s a good thing too because with more playable character than I want to count spread out across 7 consoles upon release and a few more as back catalogs were taken advantage of it would have been really easy to miss something here.

    So was there an actual story for this game? Or was it just a giant excuse to squeeze in as many tidbits as they could so the other kids would think they’re cool? You’ll have to listen to find out!

    Learn such things as:

    • Is it possible to have too many characters to pick from?
    • What happens when there’s an actually good original story?
    • Are there any deep cuts that didn’t make it into this one?
    • And so much more!

    You can find Perry on Bluesky @percivalconstantine.com, Threads @perconstantine,  catch some of his writing on Sub Stack or Patreon, or his own podcasts Superhero Cinephiles and Japan on Film,

    If you want to hear Chris talk with Karrington Martin about the lessons we learned from children’s media and how crazy it is that we’re supposed to just forget about that now that we’re adults, then Sugar, Spite, and Everything is Fine is probably something you should check out.

  4. Fantastic Four with Anthony Sytko (Capes on the Couch)

    Flame on, podcast listeners! This week we’re stretching our way back to 2005 to tackle the Fantastic Four game that somehow managed to land on more consoles than Reed Richards has had scientific breakthroughs. Based on the first Fox movie that made us all question whether Hollywood truly understood what “fantastic” meant, this multi-platform adventure promised to let us clobber our way through levels faster than Ben Grimm goes through doorframes.

    Joining us for this cosmic-powered gaming expedition is Anthony Sytko from Capes on the Couch, who’s here to help us determine whether this game was the ultimate power or just another case of “it’s clobberin’ time” gone wrong. We’ll be exploring how this tie-in game managed to squeeze onto everything from GameCube to Game Boy Advance, and whether any version actually captured the magic of Marvel’s first family – or if they all just left us feeling more invisible than Sue Storm on a bad day.

    So grab your unstable molecules costume and prepare for a gaming experience that’s sure to be more unpredictable than Johnny Storm’s dating life. It’s time to see if this Fantastic Four adaptation was truly marvelous or just another victim of the superhero movie game curse!

    Learn such things as:

    • Does yelling “FLAME ON!” improve your loading times?
    • Is this the worst timeline for Dr. Doom?
    • How long can we go without saying something about America’s Ass?
    • And so much more!

    You can find Anthony @CapesOnTheCouch on BlueSky, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and of course the Capes on the Couch website.

  5. Card 075: Human Torch

    Guest-starring Mr. Fantastic's left fist.

    These DYK facts are getting a little copy/paste-y.

  6. Another unpopular run that I really enjoyed was #FantasticFour by #SteveEnglehart and #KeithPollard. In this run, #MrFantastic and #InvisibleWoman leave the team, replaced by #Crystal and #MsMarvel, with #TheThing leading the team. Drama unfolds As The Thing struggles to keep the team together while dealing with the fact that his long time girlfriend #AliciaMasters married the #HumanTorch, Ms. Marvel deals with the mental repercussions of a recent traumatic event, a recently married Human Torch realizing his feelings for Crystal are alive and well and Crystal herself looking to move on from her own marriage with #Quicksilver, while also harboring feelings for the Torch. And this is JUST the first couple of issues of the run!

  7. Card 031: Human Torch

    Another standout of the set, with a striking layout and bristling with energy.

  8. Only five hours until the New Year starts on this side of the ocean, so to close out the year (and because I was too busy during Christmas to do this), here, one of my favourite Spider-Man stories. From the Spidey '95 Holiday Special.
