This week we start off our Ultimate Wacky Cross-Over Mania series with the first part of IDW’s Infestation. We read Issue 1 and both the Star Trek and Transformers minis throughout this zombie assault on licensed comic book properties. Are these big publisher-wide, universe-affecting events really worth all their hullabaloo, or are they just a cheap ploy to get your dollars and nerdrage? We talk about all of that, and science.

We jump forward about 50 years from last week by reading the “Ultimate Galactus Trilogy,” a tome of a story arc spanning three miniseries and a one-shot. It’s a huge tale with a long, savory buildup. But do we like these Ultimates or do we want our old helmet-head back? For more information on past or upcoming episodes, visit www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com!

We finish up our space god thing arc with DC’s side of the Kirby Coin: the Darkseid, Orion, and the Fourth World in “Orion: Gates of Apokolips.” In Walt Simonson’s deceptively sleepy little trade, the lord of Apokolips brings an entire town under his control while Orion races after him for a climactic fight that just may be one of the best throwdowns in all of superhero comics. Seriously, issue five is jaw-droppingly good. For more information on past or upcoming episodes, visit www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com!
