Plot[edit]

In a dream, Bart helps Radioactive Man in various ways, but when the latter proposes to Gloria Grand, the former thinks it's disgusting. After that, Edna's yelling wakes him up. Edna then tells Bart it's time to study, but little does she know the latter snuck a comic into his textbook. When school's out, Bart talks to his friends that he is worried about how Radioactive Man will change. Martin believe that things will get better and guesses that the change is Fallout Boy is becoming the new Radioactive Man. At home, Bart watches the news to see Kent hand an interview with Krusty in hopes of learning the change, but Krusty won't give the answer away. After this Homer explains to Bart that this isn't the first time something like this happened. He then proceeds to tell Bart about the first time that Radioactive Man fever was in Springfield, it was a time when he was Bart's age, when they did a Radioactive Man TV show. Lisa think Bart would protest the change if he hates it, but he reminds Lisa that he does not know what the change is. So Lisa tells him to protest the "News Blackout" and let the company that publishes the comics know that he and the rest of his friends have the right to know the change.

At the publishing company Krusty is happy because Lindsey Naegle has managed to get all of Springfield talking about Radioactive Man. Meanwhile, the receptionist gets visited by Bart, Milhouse and Martin but they are not admitted because they don't have an appointment, but they still manage to sneak in. They begin to sneak into the office and first find a new Itchy & Scratchy comic, which they read before they overhear three authors who are proposing to replace the usual heroes with "several crummy characters no one cares about". The boys cannot resist any longer, so they break in but they are discovered by Krusty. They give him a petition and tell Krusty that everyone wants to know what will happen, and he admits that perhaps he made​ a mistake by not telling anyone the change, he thanks them for their business with him. Then they get kicked out with gifts. Bart, Milhouse and Martin are happy, they made ​a difference. Krusty then ask to his employees to directly drive out people who have no right to be there, he is tired of disgruntled fans.

The boys then read some previous editions and try to guess what the change is. Bart then realizes that the new comic comes out that today, and decide to go to the Android's Dungeon to buy it.
