(For his comics debut, we humbly direct you to our very first episode from 2016!) First, it\u2019s the war to settle the score, the brawl to end it all, as the Devourer of Worlds squares off against none other than Ego the Living Planet! And the Son of Odin and the Rigellian robot known as the Recorder are caught in the middle! It\u2019s classic 60s Lee\/Kirby space opera at its most grandiose! Then, we get a \u2026 somewhat disjointed look at Galactus\u2019 origin, including a rap session between Big G and the God of Thunder! PLUS: We discuss James Gunn\u2019s Superman! Does Thor stand a chance against this most colossal of foes? Will Odin act in a frustrating manner? (Spoiler: Yes!) And \u201cShall a God Prevail\u201d against that sentient bioverse known as \u2026 The Comics Canon? (*No, we\u2019re not counting the purple space cloud in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Would YOU?) In This Episode: \u00b7       Actual sound footage of the Recorder! \u00b7       You should never have to see Galactus\u2019 knees \u00b7       Hush now!
