On this episode of the Major Issues Podcast, we explore Jonathan Hickman and Stefano Caselli’s Ultimates, the crown jewel of Marvel’s new Ultimate Universe (Earth 6160). This is not your classic Avengers lineup. Iron Lad, Thor, Wasp, and Captain America come together under extraordinary circumstances, while the shadow of Reed Richards, now the infamous Doom, looms large over everything. We dig into how Hickman redefines Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, the bold political themes shaping their mission, and why Reed’s transformation into Doom makes him one of the most compelling threats in the entire Ultimate line. What sets these Ultimates apart? How does Doom’s presence change the game for the whole universe? We break it all down with curiosity, excitement, and a true love of superhero storytelling.

On this week’s episode of the Major Issues Podcast, the hosts dig into Marvel’s epic six-part monster mash where Godzilla rampages through the Marvel Universe and every corner of the superhero world scrambles to stop him. From Spider-Man webbing up a skyscraper-sized foot, to the Fantastic Four testing the limits of their cosmic science, to the X-Men realizing even mutant powers aren’t enough, this event puts Earth’s Mightiest Heroes through the wringer. Along the way, Hulk and Thor step in for some truly seismic brawls, Fin Fang Foom rears his head as a rival “King of the Monsters,” and S.H.I.E.L.D. tries (and mostly fails) to keep order with Maria Hill calling the shots. We break down every outrageous showdown, every clash of egos, and why Jet Jaguar and the so-called Kaiju Chasers United might just be the weirdest allies Marvel’s ever introduced. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like when superheroes, kaiju, and Marvel’s trademark chaos all collide, this series is it — and we’ve got all the monster-sized details.
