Marvel March Madness wraps up with Ryan North! Jimmy gets instantly hooked as he reads his first Fantastic Four comics with volume 1 of Ryan's current run. If you haven't been reading Fantastic Four, you are missing out. Ryan talks a lot about the series, how he approaches writing it, and some of the different artists he's been able to work with. Issue #30 comes out March 26th. Ryan is also writing the new One World Under Doom. Ryan chats about the fun of writing Dr. Doom as the Sorcerer Supreme, and if there were any characters he was excited about using in this series. Hint: there were! It wouldn't be the Cryptid Creator Corner though without Jimmy going rogue and asking Ryan about some of his other works that Jimmy is now obsessed with, including To Be or Not To Be, a book that turns Hamlet into a choose-your-own adventure book. There's also How to Invent Everything, a book whose premise is that your time machine strands you in the distant past and you can't repair it so you might as well get work inventing, well, everything. At Comic Book Yeti we don't know anyone that thinks about time travel as much as Jimmy, except now, maybe Ryan? This conversation is such an excellent end to Marvel March Madness!

Fantastic Four #30
From the publisher
FANTASTIC THREE! After Ben Grimm has suffered a terrible (and very public) defeat at the hands of Doom, he’s left lost, adrift — and more vulnerable than he has been in years. And when a trip to New York goes wrong and his fate suddenly turns from bad to worse, Ben has never been more vulnerable — and soon takes a shocking shortcut he won’t be able to undo! This is one Thing and Alicia story you won’t soon forget!
One World Under Doom
From the publisher
ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM! Six months ago, Doctor Victor Von Doom became Sorcerer Supreme - then disappeared behind Latveria's closed borders. For most, there's enough going on in the world that Doom's absence is not a priority, and some time without him feels like a blessing. Only a few recognize it for what it truly was...the calm before the storm. It is a storm that has now arrived. The world has woken up to a new reality: Doctor Doom, Earth's Sorcerer Supreme, has magically taken over every broadcast medium on the planet and declared himself Emperor of the World - the ruler of a new United Latveria! And shockingly, impossibly, all of Earth's leaders seem to be going along with this. Luckily, whether it's mind control or Doombots, whatever's affecting them hasn't affected Earth's heroes - and so they quickly form a strike team to stop Doom's machinations. But will they succeed? And what happens when some begin to welcome their new Emperor with open arms, clamoring for One World Under Doom? Marvel's biggest and most shocking event ever begins right here.
