Here Comes the Wild Blood!

Fantastic Four #362

Enjoyable back-to-basics issue.

The Human Torch gets roped into a game of cat and mouse by none other than the Amazing Spider-Man! Meanwhile, the rest of the FF takes on an interdimensional menace known as the Wild Blood!

After some issues to really shake things up, here’s one that feels like traditional FANTASTIC FOUR. The Torch is goofing off with Spider-Man, while - back at base - Reed’s latest scientific study inadvertently starts a battle with someone the team have never met/seen before.

On Sale Date: January 28, 1992.

Re-Enter: Starhawk!

Guardians of the Galaxy #22

Crowded.

The New Guardians vs. Rancor and the Nine!

Battle-filled issue, which jumps away to different characters and different stories in many different locations. It’s a bit much. Luckily, the a-story is very compelling because of the new Starhawk (who is not the old Starhawk!).

went down a rabbit hole about the Trinity College production of In Trousers (the one with the slide that's on youtube) and found these newspaper articles! apparently it was done at least twice, once in January 1992 and once in November with the rest of the Marvin Trilogy. recordings of both In Trousers and Falsettoland can be found online, but unfortunately, a recording of March doesn't seem to exist.

2016 falsettos or OBC?

and, what’s your favorite song(s) from each version?

Oooooh the hard questions!

Personally I prefer the 2016 revival, mostly because I like the musical style a little more (the harmonies make me go feral lol) but also because the symbolism literally eats me alive (the cube?????? I could write 5 million essays on the cube. I am so Normal about the cube.)

Favorite songs is much harder

In general, across all Falsettos, my favorite is You Gotta Die Sometime. For the lyrics and incredible vocals regardless of which version I listen to, and the immense pain of grieving for yourself while you're still alive. It is, strange as it is, my comfort song.

I think for the obc specifically I have to give it to the chess game - largely for the incredible staging (something about Marvin aggressively sliding furniture around and causing a scene while Whizzer just sits there is so. Everything to me.) I also feel like there's a more Genuine sense of anger between Marvin and Whizzer in this version which I like.

For the 2016 I think it's What Would I Do (this had better come to a stop being a close close close second). The way Andrew Rannells and Christian Borle harmonize together is absolutely incredible, their voices blend so well it's insane. The staging, forcing them apart when it's clear how badly they want to go to each other, the brilliant lighting that slowly fades off Whizzer at the end,,,, it's just incredible.

Thank you for the ask :)
