About this episode

The episode discusses the historic crossover comic Spider-Man/Superman #1 and the indie debut D'ORC #1.

This week on Fantastic Forum, we are catching up on a historic crossover and a new indie debut. First up is Marvel/DC: Spider-Man/Superman #1, written by Brad Meltzer with art by Pepe Larraz. This long-awaited crossover brings two of the most iconic heroes in comics together for a story that blends heart, heroism, and high-stakes action across universes. With Meltzer’s character-driven approach and Larraz’s visuals, we are breaking down whether this issue delivers on the massive expectations and what it means for the future of DC and Marvel collaborations. Then we turn to D’ORC #1, the new fantasy series from Brett Bean, who handles both writing and art. This debut throws readers into a chaotic world with a story that attempts to deliver humor, action, and expressive, high-energy visuals. We'll let you know if Bean flips familiar fantasy tropes on their head and if this first issue stands out as a distinctive new launch.
