Joe Quesada Draws Galactus for Fantastic Four #1
What's old is new again, after all, is basically Marvel's motto. This time, Quesada's variant is a "Hidden Gem," meaning it is "never before seen as a cover."

ultimates squared
The starting project was curing Galactus of its hunger, and that is certainly a daring opening salvo. Funnily enough, I intended to put Ultimates Squared #100 on this list instead of #9 I forgot that Joe Glass took care of that instead of me. #100 was really incredible though, but we're going with Ultimates #9 instead. The soft relaunch of Ultimates Squared was an odd move on[...]

The Phoenix, who for all intents and purposes is Jean Grey, at this time. Overall, the Jeans have a nifty encounter together that's all a bit of fun, involving beaches, nightclubs, and punching Galactus in the mush It's a fun little story, with some sweet characterisation. The problem is, it doesn't really feel like the story has[...]

If You Can't Get Galactus, Call Sam, A Mondocon Exclusive Poster By Jack Kirby

Toy Collecting Shifts Away From The Big Two – An Odyssey In Plastic
As it rose to its peak in the early 2000's, the 6" action figure line not only did wild things like packaging The Silver Surfer with Howard the Duck and allowing collectors to build their own, towering 18" tall Galactus, but also furthered the investment of cultural capital to the concept of action figure collecting. Whether[...]

The Worst Comic Characters On The Subway

A New Galactus And His Herald? Upcoming Designs From Frank Cho's Savage Wolverine
Visher-Rakk, the six-limbed crab-like second Galactus, and a surfboard-less herald called Morrigon Who is probably a cross between the Ood and Grant Morrison.
