Ben Grimm--The Real Reason The Fantastic Four Went Broke!!

Last week, we discussed why giving Ben Grimm a flare gun was probably a bad idea.

 But it turns out that Ben will be Ben, and misbehave with any technology.

First, a refresher course in how the Fantastic Four's private elevator in the Baxter Building works:

Well, Ben's having a bad day, and lost his "thingamajig"--but it's totally not his fault, as the U.S. Army just tried to capture him, because they thought he was the Hulk!!


So what's a boy to do?

Tales From The Quater Bin--The Greatest Unfilmed Stan Lee Cameo Ever!

Daredevil has lost his billy club on the top of the Baxter Building!! (Don't ask!) So he's got to go up and get it. But...

Ah, in a kinder, gentler universe, one bereft of silly movie rights' issues, that would be Stan playing the janitor, as Daredevil guest-starred in the Fantastic Four movie....

FF Week #8--Because Everybody Loves Cutaway Building Schematics!

Comic books never seem to do this anymore, which is kinda sad:

Man, I wish I had a giant map room!

Wait--the Fantastic Four have an ammo room?

Did Reed Richards get approval for "fire pits" beneath the city? No wonder the Mole Man is so pissed all the time!
