I’D ONLY SEEN THE FANTASTIC FOUR ON TV. UP CLOSE… THEY WERE DIFFERENT.
REED RICHARDS’ BODY MADE LITTLE ALIEN SOUNDS AS HE STRETCHED INTO THE ROOM.
JOHNNY STORM’S FACE WAS HIDDEN IN FLAME. HE COULDN’T SEEM TO TURN IT DOWN, OR OFF.
AND SUE RICHARDS STARED AT AND THROUGH EVERYTHING, SEEING SHAPES IN THE AIR NOBODY ELSE COULD GUESS AT – AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I FELT WE MUST HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON.
MAYBE THE HULK WAS RUBBING OFF ON THEM TOO, MAKING THE FAIRYTALE AMERICAN FAMILY SEEM STRANGE AND UNKNOWABLE. OR MAYBE THEY’D BEEN LIKE HIM ALL ALONG.
MAYBE THERE WAS SOMETHING PRIMAL IN THEM, FROM SOME OTHER PLACE.
IT WAS BEN GRIMM – THE THING – WHO LOOKED THE MOST HUMAN.
Have you ever wondered if you’re just a character in some elaborate simulation? You shake the thought off because you’re a real person, living a real life, in a concrete reality. But can you be certain that you are? Isn’t it at least possible that your body and that the world around you are nothing but illusions?
I listen to a LOT of music every day. Always have. Back in 2019, though, I stated a playlist to keep track of stuff I came across and/or was playing a lot. I would forget the artist’s name sometimes and then go crazy trying to find the track or album again. By adding the track to a playlist, I could easily search and find what I wanted.
One week I was adding so many tracks to a playlist that it ran 15 and a half hours long. So I stopped. And started a new one. And THAT one was like 12 hours long. And so on, and so on.
Anyway, I thought it would be something if I shared them.
Be warned: not a lot of radio hits on these playlists, and they respect no genres. But i get MAD work done when they’re on.
Maybe you need to tune out the world and code. Or draw. Or just get over it. Whatever. Here’s literally DAYS of music for you to listen to. Hopefully your next favorites are in the mix somewhere!
I’ve just started reading this title. I was YEARS behind on X-Men (the only reason I even knew what was going on with Krakoa was because of the storyline recruiting Franklin Richards) so I spent from December to April catching up. While I saw the Storm covers, I didn’t even think of picking anything up. This week I got a hold of issues 1-20 and uhm…damn. I love this series now. What a brilliant idea. I am now hooked on Marauders.
