The ending with the Thing and Hulk was emotional as hell. Their relationship has always been expressed through their fights and just knowing that Hulk (not just Banner) was willing to take a beating just to comfort Ben just shows how great their friendship has been.
Hulk took all the punches from ben without even getting mad cause even hulk knew how much he was hurting the one moment Bruce let hulk take over full control to help their friend out like a true bro would
this scene is also fitting due to how hulk was just as much of a rival to ben grim as hulk was to thor. It's like bringing in your old friend/sparring partner to help sort out your aggression/depression. Truly a very heart warming moment.
***** Well it doesn't have to be a panel perfect adaptation, and it can span over the course of a trilogy if they need it to be. There's plenty of stuff I could see them take out.
The most important thing when making a fantastic 4 movie is for one they get their powers right then 2 making sure you get the right actors with chemistry and makking us believe that they are an actual family
Was Annihilus taunting Reid with Johnny's uniform or was it some sort of gesture? You figure if it was the former that'd be more reason to use the nullifier.
If Reed had gives in to Annihilus then the Annihilation wave comes through to Earth (and Johnny dies for nothing) or Reed uses the Nullifier and destroys Annihilus , the wave, himself and possibly the Marvel Universe.
Annihilus was definitely taunting... He was like "come at me bro!" because sure Reed could kill him, but if he does then Annihilus wins. And Reed knows that. 🤬
God damn, those 4 panels with Ben punching Hulk, Hulk holding Ben, and Thor crying made me tear up, i don't know why i just saw that and started to tear up, and i don't even care about the Fantastic Four.
It was very surreal. The way it was displayed how everyone reacted and was showing their support and condolences was heartwarming. But to see Ben lash out on Hulk and Thor to rid himself of all that pent up rage and emotion was truly amazing writing and the emotional weight was for SURE there when you saw that.
Rob, I have a personal message for you. I keep rewatching this episode. I've dealt with anger issues all of my life and most of the time I beat them. Sometimes I don't. This has always been something that gave me an affinity for the Hulk. The Hulk was my anger. My control of it has always been Batman. I recently lost my grandmother. I honestly relate to Ben here. I just wish I had such friends that could take such a beating that I need to get out in some way. The way you portray and narrate this helps my calm. I feel like you probably understand Ben's state as well. By default, probably my state as well. Thank you for helping. You've helped me with this video, so, thank you.
with all of bens and the hulks fighting and issues and conflicts over the years, that lower-left panel at 18:34 is such a weird and incredible thing to see. hulk holding and comforting a broken ben grimm is something i never thought i would see. i really love this story arc so far
The remastered version is Rob after he realized we LOVE HIS ENERGY. MANNNNNNN let me tell ya sumthin.... These videos are still TOP TIER, but Robs Game has evolved. And I am here for both.
You have done a great job with this FF arc. Seems that you have turned many peoples' minds on the FF(myself included) This made me want to look into more FF storylines. Thanks for the future reading!
Dude I got emotional just watching/listening to your video. And I even read this story when it first came out years ago. Hickman's run was definitely the best for the FF.
omfg im so hooked on hickmans run i aint going to lie brotha the way your telling his story is amazing and this video brought a tear to my eye man!! this is intense!!! i so cant wait for the next video!!! its 1 of the main reasons i get on youtube!!!!
Not only one of the best FF stories ever. Seeing Hulk get punched by the Thing until Thing, and then seeing Thor shaed tears in the next panel? One of thr greatest pages in comics history.
Rob I cannot thank you enough for doing this run of the fantastic four, its just so amazing in all kinds of ways to the point that I am going to purchase it after the conclusion of your videos. You're awesome c:
Great, this one is way more layed back and slower. I like your channel because of the slow progression through a huge story. Even those short ones like Punisher versus Marvel.
Dude you came back from vacation like a bat out of hell with some of the best videos you've ever done. Lighting the workload has been good for both the channel and [i assume] your stress levels cause your knocking them out of the park like the hank aaron of comic tubes
i love it when there are stories that you are passionate about. would love for you to run down other stories from other team and Heros that you think are as good as this one :)
I am loving this series, in my opinion this is one of the greatest stories ever created. thank you for sharing it with us, you have a great way of interpreting this story.
Because at its core, the FF is about family. Unless you have that you can't have a good FF movie. The Incredibles is so far the best FF movie ever made.
OMG I always love Johnny storm, even though I'm not an advent comic book reader I still understand his character and know how important he is to Marvel.. it's refreshing to see her gets the love that he deserves and is not simple just another member of the fantastic four..great video
Man let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. This video is the best thing coming out of comics explained. This is a comic with no words 🙊 but you explained it so well. U explained subtext and information only accessed by imagery. You gave analysis of text with having any text. If there were words in this comic it would be in your voice. You did it again. If you were a superhero you would be möbius & the möbius chair of comics. Man I wish there was TH-cam award🥇 for best works. That award would be awarded to you twice over.
Awesome story, & thanks!! I haven't had a chance to read this story until now. I have recently lost a cpl close friends, & just seeing a tear on THOR'S face brought me to tears.😢 I haven't really dealt with the loss yet, until NOW!!!
Ok. I am not a big Fantastic Four fan. I have been following the videos and the entire time I've been wondering why Rob appreciates this story so much. You can hear the excitement in his voice with every video but I understand. When Hulk and Thor allow Ben Grimm to release his anger I felt that. This is incredible story telling and I understand now. Thanks Rob for sharing this with us
It’s crazy how that panel shows so much awareness the hulk has compared to how people view him as a mindless raging beast. Cora character who has struggled so much with rage, it’s honestly amazing how hulk was able to empathize with Ben’s anger in such a manner
Thank you so much for this playlist/making these videos. I began watching your channel about a year ago, I was instantly intrigued and fascinated. Reading/watching online turned into research, then a marvel unlimited account, then some trades, then back issues, and now a vibrant pull list. As I type this I'm bag and boarding this entire Fantastic Four/FF run, very recently I've become interested in collecting all of the threads that lead to Secret Wars (Ultimates, Shield, Avengers, New Avengers, Uncanny Avengers [love Kang]). I've since put together nearly everything I can find that leads into that story (As well as a lot of other great stuff from characters that I've fallen in love with; Adam Warlock, Silver Surfer, Quasar, Thanos, Celestials, Cosmic Entities, Squadron Supreme, Overmind, Eternals, The Serpent Crown, etc, etc, ectectctec.) Long story longer, thanks for all you do. Know that you play a quite significant role in the person typing this getting really interested and involved in comics. Thank you!!
Well I just dumped about 60 bucks purchasing the entire run of FF, and it is Amazing! Of course I am doing this to stay a step ahead of the videos but it is this series that even got me to gain an interest in the Fantastic Four again since the last time I read anything in that title was Heros Reborn. Keep it up man.
If it wasn't for comics I wouldn't be alive today they give so much hope i will forever be indebt to Stan thank u for bringing hope to a new gen bro keep going some can't afford comic this is all they have thank you !!
Holy shit. Just the page with Ben, Thor and Hulk ... made me cry. It really did. that's why comics are such a great medium. No words. Just some panels of three superhuman dudes duking it out, and in the end i fucking cry because of all the emotions it conveys. And in comics you are able to get known and grow familiar with characters more than in any other media over years, decades even, which makes the emotional impacts of issues like that even stronger.
The ending with the Thing and Hulk was emotional as hell. Their relationship has always been expressed through their fights and just knowing that Hulk (not just Banner) was willing to take a beating just to comfort Ben just shows how great their friendship has been.
Hulk took all the punches from ben without even getting mad cause even hulk knew how much he was hurting the one moment Bruce let hulk take over full control to help their friend out like a true bro would
That right there... That's true friendship. Hulk and Thor allowing Ben to take his anger and frustration out on them is so healthy
Cheers
One of the greatest moments in comics
Can I just say that Hulk and Thor are the best kind of bros
they did the bro code proud
+Kevin Rivera Me too... It's like.. Wow...
+Kevin Rivera yeah. I was really surprised but... It Hit me hard at that very moment.
Agreed!👊
this scene is also fitting due to how hulk was just as much of a rival to ben grim as hulk was to thor. It's like bringing in your old friend/sparring partner to help sort out your aggression/depression. Truly a very heart warming moment.
Tears in my eyes for tears in Thor's eyes... Incredible panels.
The best teachers not only know their craft, but have a passion for it.
Thanks for being that.
That Thor/Hulk/Thing 'fight' was such a good touch from Hickman. I love that there are no words. There doesn't need to be.
You sound like a college professor. You should have your own class explaining comics and so forth. i would come to your lectures religiously.
God yes!
I would sign up for such a class
isn't that what this is?
+Combat Elite Rob deserves his own campus for teaching.
The college's name would be... Rob U.
Wow the Thor, Hulk, and Thing moment cuts deep
I was never a fan of the Fantastic Four, but i have to say, this is an amazing run, and Hickman is one of the greatest writers out there.
If only they could make a FF movie this good
+FitnessNerd Give the rights back to...
How many movies though
***** Well it doesn't have to be a panel perfect adaptation, and it can span over the course of a trilogy if they need it to be. There's plenty of stuff I could see them take out.
The most important thing when making a fantastic 4 movie is for one they get their powers right then 2 making sure you get the right actors with chemistry and makking us believe that they are an actual family
But please for the love of god not another origin story! Similar to Spiderman i could not stomach one of those again...
The way they handled how to tell Johnny Storms death was beautiful.
That Hulk/Thor/Thing fight is one of the saddest things ever. OMG.
Rob this is the best series that you have ever done..period. I know there's more to come but.....Thanks man.
Ben: "Rock on Johnny!"
Johnny: "Flame on Ben!"
Was Annihilus taunting Reid with Johnny's uniform or was it some sort of gesture? You figure if it was the former that'd be more reason to use the nullifier.
I thought the same thing Reed should've just ended him right then, I know Stark would've!
If Reed had gives in to Annihilus then the Annihilation wave comes through to Earth (and Johnny dies for nothing) or Reed uses the Nullifier and destroys Annihilus , the wave, himself and possibly the Marvel Universe.
Annihilus was definitely taunting... He was like "come at me bro!" because sure Reed could kill him, but if he does then Annihilus wins. And Reed knows that. 🤬
damn... Hulk and Thor.... took a beating for their boy. Amazing!!!
that "fight" between the thing, hulk, and thor was so awesome and heart touching.
God damn, those 4 panels with Ben punching Hulk, Hulk holding Ben, and Thor crying made me tear up, i don't know why i just saw that and started to tear up, and i don't even care about the Fantastic Four.
Same here. I'm mostly here for Franklin and Valeria. I got teary though. :(
+
I WILL NOY CRY
i will not...
Cry....
It was very surreal. The way it was displayed how everyone reacted and was showing their support and condolences was heartwarming. But to see Ben lash out on Hulk and Thor to rid himself of all that pent up rage and emotion was truly amazing writing and the emotional weight was for SURE there when you saw that.
dammit they got me too
I love ComicsExplained
same
Ditto
It's the best!!
Same
This is just so incredibly enjoyable!! I absolutely love what you're doing here Rob!
Some how im sad because of this

Get help
@@moneygrabber6720 fr go find god or something
Martial arts gym would help
Hickmans run is just so amazing thanks rob for continuing on this wonderful story.
Jesus, the punch therapy from Thor and Hulk brought a tear to my eye.
That's the Bro Code to the letter right there.
You're doing a fantastic job covering the Hickman run, Rob. Props.
with all of bens and the hulks fighting and issues and conflicts over the years, that lower-left panel at 18:34 is such a weird and incredible thing to see. hulk holding and comforting a broken ben grimm is something i never thought i would see. i really love this story arc so far
tears for days... 😥😭
Wolverine with the brown paper bag at Johnny Storm's funeral lol
Rob, I'm really loving this series!! Great job, as usual.
The remastered version is Rob after he realized we LOVE HIS ENERGY. MANNNNNNN let me tell ya sumthin....
These videos are still TOP TIER, but Robs Game has evolved. And I am here for both.
Agreed 👍🏻... but there's nothing more soothing and perfect to fall asleep to than old-school Rob 😊
Hey Rob, thank you for introducing me to this run of Fantastic Four. it's been an unbelievable reading experience :)
I watched nearly all your videos, these Hickman - Fantastic Four videos are by far my favourite!
This was by far one of your best videos. You absolutely knocked it out of the park! Can't wait to see more!
You have done a great job with this FF arc. Seems that you have turned many peoples' minds on the FF(myself included) This made me want to look into more FF storylines. Thanks for the future reading!
Dude I got emotional just watching/listening to your video. And I even read this story when it first came out years ago. Hickman's run was definitely the best for the FF.
Been loving rewatching this. Your content stands the test of time.
omfg im so hooked on hickmans run i aint going to lie brotha the way your telling his story is amazing and this video brought a tear to my eye man!! this is intense!!! i so cant wait for the next video!!! its 1 of the main reasons i get on youtube!!!!
Not only one of the best FF stories ever. Seeing Hulk get punched by the Thing until Thing, and then seeing Thor shaed tears in the next panel? One of thr greatest pages in comics history.
Fantastic narration and explanation of one of the greatest comic book stories ever. Thanks Rob!
Thank you Rob!! you just made my week with this Hickman series!!
This is awesome. I love this story so far. Plus you're posting so much now. Yippee!
love you breakdown of this story line please keep them coming
Thanks Rob I started to tear up with that Grimm vs hulk and thor fight. thanks for bringing Hickman's arc to my attention.
Rob I cannot thank you enough for doing this run of the fantastic four, its just so amazing in all kinds of ways to the point that I am going to purchase it after the conclusion of your videos. You're awesome c:
thank you for the time you put in these videos man
LOVE that you're covering Hickmans FF run! Love. It.
dude your videos are freaking great about 99%of the time!! Keep up the great work
Great, this one is way more layed back and slower. I like your channel because of the slow progression through a huge story. Even those short ones like Punisher versus Marvel.
Yo Rob u are making me love the fantastic four. That was one of the best stories in general I have ever heard
This story is absolutely amazing, Keep up the great work Rob.
Dude you came back from vacation like a bat out of hell with some of the best videos you've ever done. Lighting the workload has been good for both the channel and [i assume] your stress levels cause your knocking them out of the park like the hank aaron of comic tubes
That part with Hulk and Thor fighting/consoling Ben Grim is great writing
I am loving every video man this one was even better I need more !!
17:13 dont ever do drugs kids, or you'll look like that 😂😂
forget the drugs, someone needs to find an exorcist. She's about to unleash hell itself.
w
Forget the exorcist, she needs Jesus Christ to save her soul like now🙇🏽♂️🙇🏽♂️👑👑 lol 😂
thank you soo much, I love d this story line and you fill in all the issues i missed. Thanks so much
Rob that was amazing. Thank you so much dude
i love it when there are stories that you are passionate about. would love for you to run down other stories from other team and Heros that you think are as good as this one :)
Man I never knew the fantastic four was that awesome
The Fantastic Four is the most awesome
I am loving this series, in my opinion this is one of the greatest stories ever created. thank you for sharing it with us, you have a great way of interpreting this story.
I had no idea Donald Blake was still a thing
Ezequiel Acosta neither did marvel
Thanks for the great video Rob !
That scene with Hulk, Thor, and The Thing was just gut-wrenching.
Amazing. Thanks for this awesome video! I can't like this enough!
Man. This really got me crying over here. Well done. Thor and hulk really are the best bros.
Aww I thought the 4th ciity would be something really scary... like Detroit
W
lol!
There are a lot of worst cities then Detroit, believe.
It was a joke.
Really enjoying it Rob, keep them comin! thank you😄
Rob you have really made the best videos ao far. Keep it up brother
I went out and bought the first 3 parts of this series because of this series. It's amazing
I never liked the FF until you covered Hickmans story. Why can't the films ever be this good?
Because at its core, the FF is about family. Unless you have that you can't have a good FF movie. The Incredibles is so far the best FF movie ever made.
YEESS ANOTHER EPISODE!! im loving this series rob
OMG I always love Johnny storm, even though I'm not an advent comic book reader I still understand his character and know how important he is to Marvel.. it's refreshing to see her gets the love that he deserves and is not simple just another member of the fantastic four..great video
You rarely ever hear about johnny storm in marvel, because he isnt fantastically important
17:17 !
Most Emotionally Energetic Scene Ever ! Superb Writing Without Words !
loving this series keep up the great content
Just amazing this ComicsExpleined

hearing this story makes me remember my bro. that dude. miss that dude. :-(
Right there @ 18:17, it looks like Hulk is signaling thor to wait. Man, I tell ya if anybody can relate to Ben, it's bruce and thor
It’s crazy how that panel shows so much awareness the hulk has compared to how people view him as a mindless raging beast. Cora character who has struggled so much with rage, it’s honestly amazing how hulk was able to empathize with Ben’s anger in such a manner
that was the quickest 20 min of my life great job rob 👍
wow I kinda got teary-eyed with this episode! this is an amazing story!
This is sooo good,nice one Rob.👍
i love these videos dude. please keep up the good work!
I actually cried watching this. I didn't expect this to touch me the way it did. I need this comic
Damn you almost made my cry that was so intense
This video is incredible, and it finally got me hyped. Im on my way to buy this run.
Thank you so much for this playlist/making these videos. I began watching your channel about a year ago, I was instantly intrigued and fascinated.

wow............ this was a GREAT video Rob, great....wow.
I heard Rob talking about this in The Weekly Pulls when talking about awesome deaths. Had to come check it out.
FLAME ON!
I had a tear building up in my eye the whole video :''(
Comics Explained is the best TH-cam channel
thank you so much. I want to go and read ff now it seems like an amazing run of comics.
If it wasn't for comics I wouldn't be alive today they give so much hope i will forever be indebt to Stan thank u for bringing hope to a new gen bro keep going some can't afford comic this is all they have thank you !!
fantastic story. got emotional listening to you narrate the story. Too bad no one at Fox studio reads these issues.
Holy shit. Just the page with Ben, Thor and Hulk ... made me cry. It really did.
that's why comics are such a great medium. No words. Just some panels of three superhuman dudes duking it out, and in the end i fucking cry because of all the emotions it conveys.

I cried during that Thor hulk thing fight.
I am so thankful for your channel, I'm learning so much 'bout Marvel!
Your absolute best video! simply said
dammit rob, I've read all this before but the way you told the story brought a tear to my eye.
This series has been FUCKING amazing. Keep it up Rob!
Johnny Storm went out like a champion. A Fantastic display of courage if I ever saw one... ~_~
He was always lame
This is why i love both Jonathan Hickman and Fantastic Four. Such a phenomenal books.
