[SPEAKER_00]: Fantastic Four introduces invincible woman DCKO bracket comes with prizes Zedarsky comic news to and this is comic book club news for October 2nd, 2025
[SPEAKER_00]: Malice isn't back, if that's confusing to hear, well, strap in there because the invisible woman's dark bondage friendly alter ego isn't returning, but the invincible woman who looks a lot like Malice, but is not Malice, is about to pop up in the pages of Fantastic Four.
[SPEAKER_00]: Written by Ryan North with Art by Humberno Ramos, the new character will appear first in fantastic 4-6, and then continue in the next two issues.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the difference is that Malice, an alternate persona introduced back during John Burns Classic run on FF, is Sue Storm, invincible woman.
[SPEAKER_00]: is not.
[SPEAKER_00]: So who is she?
[SPEAKER_00]: Per PR quote, driven mad by her power and tormented by a tragic mistake that caused her everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: Invincible women resembles Malice, Sue's dark persona that was first unleashed by Psychoman during John Burns' legendary run on the title.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I basically just said all of that press release.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, the Malice costume was introduced in Marvel Rivals recently, and Sword and Popularity because gamers are all perverts.
[SPEAKER_00]: And great news on that note, Fantastic Four Number Six will include a code for a Malice rule in game spray.
[SPEAKER_00]: The issue, which also teases the return of the future foundation, hit stores on December 3rd.
[SPEAKER_00]: DCKO is coming at you faster than a punch to the face five issue events series from DC Comics will pit 32 heroes and villains against each other to determine who will become King Omega aka the being powerful left to take down dark side and while the comic by Scott Snyder and Huffy Fernandez will roll out from October 9, 2025 through March of 2026 you can get in on the action right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's because not only is DC supposed to the full initial bracket for the event they're inviting you, yes, you, to pick your champions for each matchup all the way through the final round.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sounds fun, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: But wait, there's more!
[SPEAKER_00]: After you lock in your picks, you can provide your email on DC's official KO page, then track the action on the public leaderboard to see how well you do versus other DC fans.
[SPEAKER_00]: But wait, there is even more!
[SPEAKER_00]: Per a press release from DC Quote and two entered rounds two three four or five are eligible for exciting prizes including an original sketch signed varying covers digital DC collectible comics and a free year of DC universe infinite and then there's one grand prize
[SPEAKER_00]: you become King Omega and have to fight dark side for the fate of the universe, just kidding, sort of, because the actual prize is an opportunity to be drawn into a future DC comic book, so maybe you will fight dark side?
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, you can enter your bracket now through February, and if you want to argue with fellow fans a little early, comic book club will be picking our bracket live this Saturday, October 4 at 9 a.m.
[SPEAKER_00]: ET on YouTube, and we would love to fight you.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, hear about your picks.
[SPEAKER_00]: Folks, we won!
[SPEAKER_00]: In the heated battle between comic book club news and Sadarski comic news, the monthly magazine created by writer Chip Sadarski, we have prevailed.
[SPEAKER_00]: As Sadarski announced, he is wrapping it up with issue number 18.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sadarski revealed the news via his newsletter, saying quote,
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's right, now that my dumb little magazine is old enough to vote if issue numbers were years, I'm wrapping up Sadarski Comic News.
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't a DC decision as I truly love making it, but boy, boy, there are only so many hours of the day.
[SPEAKER_00]: And for some reason, my editors don't take, but I'm making my free magazine this week as an excuse for missing deadlines, obviously.
[SPEAKER_00]: as usual Sadarski is being cheeky, but it was surprising that the busy scribe kept the excellent zine going for so long, plus our victory may be short-lived, as we hear there might be something else waiting in the wings to take the place of Sadarski comic news.
[SPEAKER_00]: As is the final issue, we'll hit stores this December, featuring an interview with Charles Soul.
[SPEAKER_00]: For comic book club news, I'm Alex Albin, and you might say we DCK owed Sadarski comic news
