Shame they cut out Malkovich as the Red Ghost!
I did! Surprisingly. I expected to hate it, but they got a lot right. Kirby cameo!!! Much better than I expected. You?

Since Iโm giving a talk on the #FantasticFourย soon, I thought Iโd better go see the film. As a #JackKirby fanatic and lifelong fan of the FF, I was resistant. I expected to be dissatisfied. Disappointed. Probably annoyed.
I was wrong. Itโs brilliant.
Donโt ask. Just go see it.

This is, as it happens, a lot like the storytelling advice Jack Kirby once gave me. He said that as long as your characters react like real people with real feelings, then no matter how far out you get, the audience will follow you.
Publishers, please take note that at least one person just bought three books SOLELY based on the viscerally appealing covers designed by a human being.
My all time favourite comic!

Wow. They've literally reproduced my cover from "Fantastic Four: First Family"! C'mon, @marvelcomicshqs.bsky.social , that's got to be worth a couple of free tickets.

Remember when I almost directed a John Hughes-penned parody sequel to Jaws called Jaws 3, People 0? You don't?
Well then it's time you read this:

Absolutely. Romance comics were massively popular, sold millions, but once the silver age kicked in, comics became increasingly stuck on superheroes. And still are.
Sophie Aldred has a book out! For anyone who watched Dr Who in the 80s, Thatโs got to be worth a read surely?
That is absolutely what I meant. It actually changed my opinion on the whole matter. Iโve met Roy and liked him a lot, but the whole Wolverine thing bothered me, this gives a little clarity. Iโve never heard the Michigan Wolverines reference, fascinating.
Much as I love superhero stories, it is a quirk of comics that theyโre still heavily associated with one genre.
In the 40s/50s a big chunk of films were westerns. Comics bring primarily about superheroes for so many decades is as odd as it would be if Movies were still primarily westerns.
An interesting perspective on the Roy Thomas/Wolverine controversyโฆโฆ
