Hey everybody. Welcome to the Rob Leifeld show featuring Rob Observations.

I am your host, Rob Leifeld, by making the comic books, drawing the comics, writing the comics, publishing the comics for 40 years across five decades.

I love it from the 80s to now.

It has been such a blast. This show

exists to talk and celebrate all things comic books and pop culture and the way that they

have become incredibly synonymous. They just completely are synonymous with each other now

because all things comic books are all things pop culture and I have

taken you across five years and over 400 episodes. Many of my adventures, both as a

professional as a fan and I have tried to walk alongside you with my journey into the comic verse.

And over the course of all our different observations,

many of them were on podcast and in podcast form.

This is only our, I think, our third video cast.

And just bear with me as I keep working to get it right,

the lighting, the positioning.

We have discussed all manner over all these different recordings.

We have discussed all manner of incredible visionary talents, artists, writers, characters, legendary runs.

And the great thing that is so satisfying to me has been when you, you in the audience, reach back out to me and say, Rob, that, that episode you did about the Fantastic 4, that epic collection,

that killer run. Rob, I ordered it. I just got it. Right before I came on,

the air here today, right before I came on to record, a very kind gentleman sent me the picture

and said, Rob, I got this. It's awesome. I loved it. I had no idea. These stories existed. But man, I am all over this stuff. It's the Marl Wolfman, John Byrne, Joe

Senate, the Galactus run, the first appearance of Terax. I talked about this ad nauseum a couple

weeks back. That just gives me the biggest thrill. Because sometimes we lose perspective
