I loved the Super Hero Sqaud Show. George Takei and James Marsters were pretty inspired choices for Galactus and Reed.
Miss Fantastic, I had a monetary crisis in February and when I was at my lcs one Wednesday, there was a big-time dealer who stopped in to see what they had while on his way to
a convention in either Florida or Georgia. I asked him what he was looking for, which was primarily Silver Age and other key Marvel books, and since I knew I was about to get desperate
for cash, I agreed to show them to him the following week on his way back through. My initial thought was to sell him some good books, but keep most of them. I was thinking I would
sell about $1500 worth, which would be a good chunk, but not do major damage to my collection. Well, he showed up ready to buy, and he went after my Amazing Spider-Man and Uncanny
X-Men comics big time, some Journey Into Mystery and FF 2, 6, 9, 18, 20, 29, 30, 35, 45, 46, & 48-51, basically the heart of my collection. I made a lot more money than I planned, but I
sold more than I planned too, and it made me sick to the stomach for a couple of days. I still haven't recovered my enthusiasm for collecting or really felt like reading my new comics
every week since then. Just knowing I have to go back and buy those same books again is the most disheartening feeling after what it took to acquire all of them. I've still got FF 115-up,
and only missing 112 & 114 from 100-up, but none of those early keys I had. I won't be satisfied until I replace everything I sold.
Oh, Pat...I'm quite sorry to read all of that. And needless to say, I know the feeling. Although, I'm very thankful the earliest issue I sold was FF #51, not FF #2...I know losing that, #6, and #9 must have made you very sick to your stomach. But I still hate myself for deciding to part with #51 (due to having a reprint of it in my Marvel coffee table book), because it is considered by not just FF fans, but casuals and even not-care-for-ers too, to be among the GREATEST comic book stories ever crafted, and the copy I had was quite possibly in Fine condition. Its cover certainly had the gloss that is not at all common with many an issue that age. The other later issues I can easily get back in their same conditions or similar...but that #51 stings a bit.
Anyways...anyone here enjoy Zen Pinball? Been doing nightly practice rounds on the FF table (my favorite, surprise surprise), and have managed my highest score to be 135 million thus far.
ETA: And unlike dudeman talking in the video, I like the fact that the FF and even Doom (at least when you make a regular skillshot), compliment your playing.

I too LOVE The Super Hero Squad Show, and consider it the last great entry made thus far in the entire cartoon genre. I wholeheartedly agree that Takei and Marsters were EXCELLENT as Galactus and Reed, and among the apexes of SHS' overwhelmingly awesome voice talent pool. Charlie Adler rocked as Dr. Doom too...and if any character really epitomized SHS' rather delicious sense of humor (which carries over into the uber-addictive Super Hero Squad Online game sibling, particularly with the heroes' power emotes (actions that can be performed in the non-mission zones) boss intros during missions), it was/is Doom, believe it or not.
Here's my favorite of the FF-centric episodes, even though Galactus is not in it.

I don't know what's more addicting...Zen Pinball or Super Hero Squad Online. I also have Lego Marvel which I really and seriously need to pick back up. Especially as fun as Reed is to play in that along with the overall Legend of Zelda-esque nature of the game with the exploring, puzzles, and even heart meter.
The scary thing is that as good as my 135 million is, there's no telling how much better I could get with my practice and all of my high scoring games being the result of my having an incredible single ball/round, with the other two not amounting to much. If I can just get to where I can put together all three ball/rounds being solid and high scoring.
While I'm at it with this double post (something I try to avoid, but sometimes can't help), here's another FF-centric Super Hero Squad Show offering...this one featuring Galactus!
And the previous part is more than worth seeing as well.

Although 90s was a mediocre era,i loved that in "Onslaught" event,F4 were the most appreciated heroes of MU.The inner thoughts and the awe that many X-men felt about the First Family it was my favorite point of this event.

I have to say Leonard Kirk is turning out to be the best regular artist the Fantastic Four has had for a while. Very dramatic cover of Ben there and then he switches to the somewhat whimsical style with the cover with the Future Foundation.
Oh, am I getting misty-eyed or what?! Johnny's flamed off, now it's Jim who's having an adventure with the kids.

Good covers, looking forward to the spotlight on the kids (but bring Val in to the fold dangit! )
A musing - but was it just Mike Allred was starting drawing Leech with such a clean, smooth head - or was that a trend that started earlier? I kinda miss the bumpy monstery-ness. I know I've seen his much earlier appearances in X-men books looking kinda gross, but I really liked Nick Dragotta's version of Leech in those later Hickman FF issues. Plus didn't Artie also used to have some kind of pattern on his head? Now Leech and Artie just look like green and pink versions (respectively) of each other.
Dragotta's version:
