05:31.277 --> 05:32.198 [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, of course. 05:32.278 --> 05:33.238 [SPEAKER_03]: I read the whole issue. 05:38.402 --> 05:48.456 [SPEAKER_03]: awesome action scenes to a really really tense conversation scene at the end was storm a night crawler Oh man, this is a fan-tast day. 05:48.476 --> 05:49.378 [SPEAKER_03]: Plus the initial. 05:49.498 --> 05:53.203 [SPEAKER_01]: That last panel of storm was just so bad at that. 05:53.423 --> 05:53.664 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, 05:54.344 --> 05:54.925 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sold. 05:55.105 --> 05:55.866 [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sold on this. 05:55.986 --> 05:58.208 [SPEAKER_03]: I was not as sold going in by the end. 05:58.228 --> 05:59.869 [SPEAKER_03]: I was like yeah, giving the next one. 05:59.969 --> 06:04.893 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and they also give us this teaser of like a storm-biting Phoenix. 06:04.953 --> 06:15.302 [SPEAKER_03]: So that was also kind of cool plus in the Batman's like just to talk about that specifically that seems like that's probably the inciting event of this whole thing is what they were playing. 06:15.342 --> 06:16.423 [SPEAKER_03]: So that was not a teaser 06:17.023 --> 06:23.826 [SPEAKER_01]: I thought maybe it was, you know, like, to come or, you know, well, that's why Cyclops is so distraught. 06:23.926 --> 06:27.687 [SPEAKER_03]: Clearly, Storm became a vampire bit fetix. 06:27.847 --> 06:29.248 [SPEAKER_03]: Everything went horribly wrong. 06:29.328 --> 06:32.849 [SPEAKER_03]: And you see Cyclops with his visor broken screaming and horror. 06:33.969 --> 06:34.590 [SPEAKER_03]: That's it. 06:34.610 --> 06:35.150 [SPEAKER_03]: We'll see. 06:35.450 --> 06:37.171 [SPEAKER_01]: We just saw one panel and then it went away. 06:37.231 --> 06:42.535 [SPEAKER_01]: So you could sure to be the future. 06:42.575 --> 06:44.936 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it could be the future. 06:44.956 --> 06:46.497 [SPEAKER_03]: It could be what they describe in the game. 06:46.517 --> 06:49.359 [SPEAKER_01]: I blame the lock because it's like you make it in a movie when you're reading the comics. 06:49.379 --> 06:50.319 [SPEAKER_01]: So that's why I do that. 06:50.420 --> 06:51.060 [SPEAKER_01]: You blame the lock. 06:51.180 --> 06:51.600 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, great. 06:51.620 --> 06:52.782 [SPEAKER_03]: Should we talk about the next one? 06:52.802 --> 06:54.103 [SPEAKER_03]: The midnight. 06:54.203 --> 07:01.810 [SPEAKER_01]: I want to talk about the back matter because we get a real touching letter from none other than Jordan D.

16:18.169 --> 16:19.070 [SPEAKER_01]: I think this is cool. 16:19.150 --> 16:21.372 [SPEAKER_01]: I think I also like telling this. 16:21.592 --> 16:26.536 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I were still here on the fantastic for like you get this kind of blacked out cover, which is cool looking. 16:26.837 --> 16:32.442 [SPEAKER_01]: And then inside that you see the full picture, which I think is nice, because they made the style choice to kind of black it out. 16:32.602 --> 16:34.443 [SPEAKER_01]: But it's nice that they didn't like it. 16:34.464 --> 16:36.625 [SPEAKER_03]: I will tell you a little disappointed to find out. 16:36.786 --> 16:43.852 [SPEAKER_03]: I thought when they announced it that it was going to be what is an acetate, so that it was blacked out and then you open it up in the real cover was below it. 16:45.433 --> 16:49.314 [SPEAKER_03]: versus it is just two different covers, but that's all right, I'll live. 16:49.534 --> 16:55.596 [SPEAKER_02]: I thought this was going to be a tie into Taylor Swift's Midnight's album, but I guess that's disappointing to me as well. 16:56.036 --> 16:56.236 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 16:56.476 --> 16:56.896 [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, man. 16:57.416 --> 16:59.116 [SPEAKER_03]: How do you feel about the whole line, Justin?

[SPEAKER_02]: Let's back a little bit something is mean you're unkilling it. 49:49.119 --> 49:49.739 [SPEAKER_02]: You're too detailed. 49:49.799 --> 49:50.379 [SPEAKER_02]: Do you take care? 49:50.419 --> 49:55.201 [SPEAKER_01]: So unkilling this this is one of the reasons This is so low on my list of absolute. 49:55.261 --> 49:55.581 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. 49:56.041 --> 50:14.487 [SPEAKER_01]: I love the art style the use of yellow for the aliens was really fantastic It was very kind of bold and cool, but then you got this kind of meta like bad idea number zero Like what the fuck you doing like I you know like that missed me and it got I don't like zero shoes So whatever, but then like 50:16.407 --> 50:34.154 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, this idea that I really liked and this is the thing that like if there's cool ideas in all this madness like the uncool Unkill was a reach and I was like I rolled my eyes out of but this idea that earth is a game preserve for souls. 50:34.354 --> 50:36.234 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, that is a crazy idea. 50:36.254 --> 50:37.755 [SPEAKER_01]: I believe that 50:38.395 --> 50:40.135 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, wow, but yeah, it's a lot. 50:40.255 --> 50:44.556 [SPEAKER_01]: But then you're going to give me a last panel reveal and it's just old ass Amanda Waller. 50:44.596 --> 50:45.717 [SPEAKER_01]: I was like fuck this man. 50:46.057 --> 50:47.717 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't care about Amanda Waller. 50:47.737 --> 50:48.577 [SPEAKER_01]: She's a villain. 50:49.397 --> 50:50.197 [SPEAKER_01]: She's the worst. 50:50.217 --> 50:52.438 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want her in my comic book. 50:52.498 --> 50:55.158 [SPEAKER_02]: So she's got a heavy pour of wine in her hand. 50:55.579 --> 50:57.819 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm here for that. 50:57.879 --> 50:59.619 [SPEAKER_03]: I did like the detail that she had. 50:59.759 --> 51:02.460 [SPEAKER_03]: It's wine a clock on the side behind her. 51:03.244 --> 51:12.216 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and she handled his life wise to review people have wine that's a bit of a if you see So I'm going to someone's house and they have that sign. 51:12.477 --> 51:13.518 [SPEAKER_02]: You're going to check them. 51:13.778 --> 51:15.981 [SPEAKER_03]: They're there They're in the way 51:22.187 --> 51:32.042 [SPEAKER_02]: Um, here's the thing though, like I'm complaining about this a little bit, but like I like a lot of what happened here and the last page where mental waters like tell Kyle Reiner, he's back on task for sex. 51:32.082 --> 51:32.843 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like hell. 51:32.883 --> 51:33.283 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 51:33.504 --> 51:34.245 [SPEAKER_02]: I want that. 51:34.485 --> 51:34.846 [SPEAKER_02]: No. 51:35.427 --> 51:35.647 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 51:37.483 --> 51:38.304 [SPEAKER_03]: No, I don't know. 51:38.484 --> 51:39.105 [SPEAKER_03]: What could I say? 51:39.125 --> 51:39.965 [SPEAKER_03]: It's still good. 51:40.406 --> 51:41.327 [SPEAKER_03]: Kill all Immortals. 51:41.407 --> 51:44.910 [SPEAKER_03]: Three number one from Dark Horse Comics written by Zach Kaplan, Art by Fr. 51:44.950 --> 51:45.951 [SPEAKER_03]: Chesco, Mordorito. 51:46.031 --> 51:47.112 [SPEAKER_03]: This is per the name. 51:47.132 --> 51:50.856 [SPEAKER_03]: The third in a series about a bunch of Norse Immortals. 51:51.376 --> 51:55.420 [SPEAKER_03]: We're trying to kill all the other Immortals before they are killed themselves. 51:56.261 --> 52:02.567 [SPEAKER_03]: They have regained their immortality as of the last series that are now going for the final bunch of Immortals. 52:03.047 --> 52:15.252 [SPEAKER_03]: leading to a showdown that if you were thinking of one immortal who would be the final boss of all the mortals who would that be, well if I doubt it this issue, it is not a huge surprise, but it is a fun one. 52:15.272 --> 52:17.513 [SPEAKER_03]: What do you guys think about this kickoff here? 52:18.149 --> 52:36.899 [SPEAKER_01]: yeah i mean this series is great i love it's very action violent forward and it's fun it's over the top and all the right ways so yeah i continue to enjoy this cool last panel yeah i felt like this is just as good as the others have been so yeah i enjoyed this 52:37.923 --> 52:41.004 [SPEAKER_02]: When I'm describing why and I often use the words violent forward. 52:41.244 --> 52:41.624 [SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm. 52:41.724 --> 52:42.344 [SPEAKER_02]: Was that a joke? 52:43.164 --> 52:49.686 [SPEAKER_03]: I was, and then I thought, I was wondering if Pete, maybe what he opens this comic books, if he gives himself a little whopped, he's like, huh? 52:49.746 --> 52:52.086 [SPEAKER_03]: It's what is very violent forward, yeah. 52:52.206 --> 52:54.027 [SPEAKER_02]: SIGARBOX, violent forward. 52:54.327 --> 52:54.607 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 52:54.627 --> 52:57.447 [SPEAKER_03]: There's a little gore on the nose. 52:57.547 --> 52:59.668 [SPEAKER_03]: I'm getting you getting that. 53:00.883 --> 53:01.483 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm getting it. 53:01.844 --> 53:07.788 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I do agree with you that this book is, the violence is baked into this book. 53:08.008 --> 53:14.612 [SPEAKER_02]: We've seen two previous versions of this, but I do like the conversations that this family's have. 53:14.672 --> 53:16.734 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just in on like I like they're like, 53:17.954 --> 53:20.715 [SPEAKER_02]: But before this, they were like, we have to give up being immortal. 53:20.775 --> 53:21.615 [SPEAKER_02]: It's bad for us. 53:21.675 --> 53:22.276 [SPEAKER_02]: They give it up. 53:22.796 --> 53:24.817 [SPEAKER_02]: And then this is like, they got to get this back. 53:24.957 --> 53:26.497 [SPEAKER_02]: We're all going to die on those. 53:26.597 --> 53:29.138 [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I'm just in on all these conversations. 53:29.758 --> 53:34.140 [SPEAKER_02]: And I like that we're setting up a major boss battle at the end of this series. 53:34.540 --> 53:34.700 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 53:35.716 --> 53:41.881 [SPEAKER_03]: Minor Arcana number 19 for boobs to do as written by Jeff LeMier, art by Jeff LeMier and Sean Kerr and narrow. 53:42.481 --> 53:46.364 [SPEAKER_03]: You know, I think we missed a couple of title issues of this title. 53:46.445 --> 53:48.846 [SPEAKER_03]: I couldn't do it, maybe it's coming out sporadically. 53:48.866 --> 53:52.629 [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not 100% sure, but whatever it is, this is a key issue. 53:52.689 --> 54:03.238 [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm glad we jumped back in here as we focus on the grandfather of our main character show why the fortune telling shop that he set up in the small town is so important. 54:03.798 --> 54:10.082 [SPEAKER_03]: and who the bad guys are that are coming for him as well as his granddaughter who is the main character of the series. 54:10.803 --> 54:11.783 [SPEAKER_03]: So I thought this was great. 54:11.843 --> 54:14.725 [SPEAKER_03]: You're gorgeous art from Jeff Lemira and Sean Kronero. 54:16.086 --> 54:18.568 [SPEAKER_03]: Really explains a lot of what's been going on here. 54:18.848 --> 54:19.788 [SPEAKER_03]: I dug this quite a bit. 54:20.269 --> 54:21.349 [SPEAKER_03]: I dug it and I dig it. 54:23.843 --> 54:25.645 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I agree. 54:25.845 --> 54:28.989 [SPEAKER_01]: The artist's fantastic cool vibes. 54:29.609 --> 54:31.351 [SPEAKER_01]: I love the map. 54:31.651 --> 54:39.339 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I saw the kind of like the milk man made me think of ice cream man, which I was like, oh man, what's that about? 54:39.400 --> 54:40.581 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm so kind of like 54:41.662 --> 54:55.417 [SPEAKER_01]: uh, you know, a pro-grammed who I was like, oh god, guys in all way to scary, but I was like, hey, relax, this is a different book, but yeah, the pregrors, the last panel reveal was fun, so yeah, I thought this was pretty good. 54:56.598 --> 55:22.770 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm so building in a lot of the backstory I'm getting is to the basically the beginning of the title I think is really cool especially Like I I still don't know what the overarching mystery here We've gotten a little bit of sense of dread over to the last you know 10 issues about this secret society Well, I just don't know anything about them yet So this backstory is really good and it feels like it's gonna propel us forward into the next big thing 55:23.872 --> 55:46.016 [SPEAKER_03]: The dead man, number five from DC Comics, written by W Maxwell Prince, art by Martin Morazo, after heading to Hell and then heaven, now dead man has been sent to the future, where everything is tech, including swamp thing, who is now wires thing, and they are fighting their way through this future tech world. 55:46.076 --> 55:49.237 [SPEAKER_03]: So the dead man could find out about what exactly cost it. 55:50.855 --> 56:04.255 [SPEAKER_03]: cause the problems they're having so he can take it back to the present and hopefully stop this future uh... this title is great i love this team i love everything about this it is one of the most creative books of the stand it is a pleasure to read every month 56:04.929 --> 56:05.569 [SPEAKER_02]: Fantastic. 56:05.949 --> 56:06.450 [SPEAKER_02]: So good. 56:06.630 --> 56:11.031 [SPEAKER_02]: I especially love it when we get touch on other aspects of the DC universe. 56:11.472 --> 56:17.954 [SPEAKER_02]: We get to see a take on the Phantom Stranger here on Green Arrow on Miss Terrific. 56:18.434 --> 56:24.137 [SPEAKER_02]: Like all that stuff is so nice to just get the WMAXwell Prince turn on it. 56:24.297 --> 56:24.977 [SPEAKER_02]: It's so good. 56:25.057 --> 56:28.398 [SPEAKER_02]: And the Martin Marzo Art is just continues to be fantastic. 56:28.839 --> 56:30.499 [SPEAKER_02]: It's a singular book on the stands. 56:30.639 --> 56:32.360 [SPEAKER_02]: I would recommend picking it up. 56:33.359 --> 56:34.824 [SPEAKER_02]: It's dance but fantastic. 56:35.445 --> 56:47.512 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's hard to give it more praise because it is just so so epic and every issue and and such a cool unique creative way very art for which is great. 56:48.873 --> 56:49.974 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is just fun. 56:49.994 --> 56:54.096 [SPEAKER_01]: I just every time I'm about to crack this open, I get excited. 56:54.116 --> 56:59.540 [SPEAKER_01]: It's just cool story, great use of character. 56:59.680 --> 57:02.061 [SPEAKER_01]: So just great last panel. 57:02.101 --> 57:03.422 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm joining the shit out of this. 57:04.309 --> 57:13.754 [SPEAKER_03]: Hmm, and next up, the Kaiju of Oz, number one, for by DW, by my costa, and Tom Shioly, art by Brian Brown, and Tom Shioly. 57:14.074 --> 57:14.955 [SPEAKER_03]: That's not titled this. 57:14.975 --> 57:18.357 [SPEAKER_03]: This is essentially another monster piece theater thing. 57:18.777 --> 57:21.238 [SPEAKER_03]: Feature of Godzilla in the story of Wizard of Oz. 57:21.278 --> 57:25.541 [SPEAKER_03]: The big thing that it changes is that Dorothy thinks Godzilla is Toto. 57:26.161 --> 57:40.515 [SPEAKER_03]: So the wicked witch of the Wes ends up going down the yellow brick road and gathering some friends or in her case, minions of her own, these things are just so silly and I continue to love them and I hope they do them forever. 57:40.656 --> 57:45.160 [SPEAKER_03]: Just this is a great series of one shots for I-DW. 57:45.280 --> 57:45.841 [SPEAKER_03]: They're very fun. 57:47.374 --> 57:51.940 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this one of all of them, this would feel actually pretty straightforward compared to the rest. 57:51.960 --> 57:58.848 [SPEAKER_02]: Like, it really just does the entire Wizard of Oz story in a fucked up Godzilla way throughout. 57:59.289 --> 58:06.057 [SPEAKER_02]: So that's fun and the art continues to be a nice, different and specific to this series. 58:06.840 --> 58:09.201 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I really enjoyed the choices being made here. 58:09.261 --> 58:11.543 [SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't just like Godzilla kills us. 58:11.643 --> 58:13.484 [SPEAKER_01]: Like they were really doing some fun stuff. 58:13.504 --> 58:21.609 [SPEAKER_01]: And it was cool to see the week which of the West go down the yellow brick road and collect all the characters we know and love from this world. 58:21.649 --> 58:25.951 [SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, just fun twist, fun Dorothy, ride non-Godzilla. 58:26.031 --> 58:28.933 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I just, I agree with you, Zelben. 58:29.233 --> 58:32.395 [SPEAKER_01]: I do not get sick of these Godzilla books. 58:32.475 --> 58:33.075 [SPEAKER_01]: It's really fun. 58:33.616 --> 58:35.477 [SPEAKER_02]: How'd you feel about Godzilla meeting Robin Hood 58:37.603 --> 58:38.604 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, come on. 58:40.125 --> 58:40.906 [SPEAKER_03]: I felt good about that. 58:40.926 --> 58:46.471 [SPEAKER_03]: That's been something that's been running throughout the back up in all of these books and very fun. 58:46.831 --> 58:47.432 [SPEAKER_02]: Godzilla. 58:48.112 --> 58:48.813 [SPEAKER_01]: Right, first. 58:49.273 --> 58:50.274 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I took a real hell. 58:51.175 --> 58:56.820 [SPEAKER_01]: I took me a second because I first thought Justin said, would you think of Godzilla, mean Robin Williams in the back? 58:56.840 --> 58:57.300 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, so what? 58:58.942 --> 58:59.663 [SPEAKER_01]: That would be awesome. 58:59.683 --> 59:01.985 [SPEAKER_03]: What would, to be a fly on that wall? 59:03.871 --> 59:06.752 [SPEAKER_03]: I just want to give a quick shout out to Ryan Brown's art. 59:06.792 --> 59:13.435 [SPEAKER_03]: We normally see him working with trolls, soul, on bucks, but yes, nobody does sound effects like him. 59:13.455 --> 59:22.178 [SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to maybe buy constip to put them in the script, but this is such a ride brown thing to like build the very funny and ridiculous sound effects into the art itself. 59:22.218 --> 59:23.779 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that plays the right book. 59:24.125 --> 59:24.585 [SPEAKER_03]: very fun. 59:24.785 --> 59:25.786 [SPEAKER_03]: And it's an extra layer. 59:25.886 --> 59:27.866 [SPEAKER_03]: Let's you read for a while longer. 59:27.986 --> 59:28.547 [SPEAKER_03]: It's good stuff. 59:29.367 --> 59:36.050 [SPEAKER_03]: Kingdom of Earth, number three from Dark Horse Comics, written by David Desmolciad, and Leah Co. Patrick, art by Sue Lee. 59:36.370 --> 59:39.711 [SPEAKER_03]: This takes place in a post-apocalyptic world that's been taken over by monsters. 59:40.111 --> 59:45.153 [SPEAKER_03]: Essentially, I thought it was about one human who is surviving there with the help of the big Harry monster. 59:45.633 --> 59:47.934 [SPEAKER_03]: It's not really what we get in this issue. 59:48.094 --> 59:48.314 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 59:48.454 --> 59:50.395 [SPEAKER_02]: This book is monster bureaucracy. 59:51.696 --> 01:00:01.022 [SPEAKER_02]: So much of the action in this book, and this book like the key on this book from the cover of the post-avocative world with the Girl Raph in the American Flag ever was like, what's that? 01:00:01.042 --> 01:00:01.862 [SPEAKER_02]: I want to read that. 01:00:02.303 --> 01:00:07.946 [SPEAKER_02]: And it's just crazy that this book is actually about like monsters being like, how are we going to get the trains to run? 01:00:08.807 --> 01:00:10.548 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god. 01:00:10.588 --> 01:00:12.189 [SPEAKER_01]: We need more power, guys. 01:00:12.229 --> 01:00:12.389 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 01:00:14.601 --> 01:00:15.081 [SPEAKER_01]: It's funny. 01:00:15.481 --> 01:00:16.242 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's fun. 01:00:16.362 --> 01:00:17.322 [SPEAKER_01]: It's a great idea. 01:00:17.342 --> 01:00:24.645 [SPEAKER_01]: I also like the human kind of team up with that one Harry monster, so excited about that. 01:00:25.125 --> 01:00:26.766 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, also what's great about this. 01:00:27.558 --> 01:00:29.438 [SPEAKER_01]: not many words in this issue. 01:00:29.778 --> 01:00:34.559 [SPEAKER_01]: It really just lets the eyes complement for people that the art shine baby. 01:00:34.579 --> 01:00:34.959 [SPEAKER_03]: Come on. 01:00:34.999 --> 01:00:38.940 [SPEAKER_03]: We don't need to read gorgeous art from Suley in this issue. 01:00:38.960 --> 01:00:41.141 [SPEAKER_03]: Just I love the monster designs in particular. 01:00:41.221 --> 01:00:47.762 [SPEAKER_03]: We talked to her a while back for one of the other books, but talked about this a little bit and it's just great stuff. 01:00:48.482 --> 01:00:51.203 [SPEAKER_02]: I believe it suits quote on that was I don't know. 01:00:51.223 --> 01:00:52.283 [SPEAKER_02]: I just do what I want. 01:00:54.304 --> 01:01:08.060 [SPEAKER_02]: And it does feel that way because her art is very different across different books and this feels to Pete's point Very of this title the little guys who aren't human but are just like wrecked throughout this entire issue are very funny 01:01:09.630 --> 01:01:30.672 [SPEAKER_03]: Superman, the stranger number two from DC Comics by Wes Craig, we also had Wes on the show to talk about this a couple of months back, so check that out in the feed, but this is going back to the original action comic story featuring Superman, picking up right after that first issue and following a very young Superman who doesn't really even have his full job at the Daily Planet yet. 01:01:31.215 --> 01:01:44.509 [SPEAKER_03]: And interestingly, which I was not expecting, first issue in second issue, the first half is about Superman, and the second half is about Lex Luther and following them in the supposing paths as presumably they come together by the end. 01:01:45.150 --> 01:01:48.794 [SPEAKER_03]: Speaking of coming together, Pete, I was curious to go to you first. 01:01:49.515 --> 01:01:53.239 [SPEAKER_03]: What did you think about Clark almost sleeping with a woman who isn't low as? 01:01:53.579 --> 01:01:55.180 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, didn't, not the fan. 01:01:55.600 --> 01:01:56.060 [SPEAKER_03]: I knew it. 01:01:56.260 --> 01:01:56.640 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 01:01:56.680 --> 01:01:58.681 [SPEAKER_01]: Come on, he gled in, fuck around. 01:01:59.081 --> 01:02:00.082 [SPEAKER_01]: No way, man. 01:02:00.142 --> 01:02:00.642 [SPEAKER_01]: He's new. 01:02:00.982 --> 01:02:04.323 [SPEAKER_03]: When she's like, you've done this before, and he's like, of course, obviously. 01:02:04.403 --> 01:02:05.704 [SPEAKER_03]: He definitely has it, right? 01:02:06.144 --> 01:02:07.324 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly. 01:02:07.504 --> 01:02:12.626 [SPEAKER_02]: I thought that was, and I loved that they didn't call it out, but like, they just let it hang there. 01:02:12.646 --> 01:02:16.548 [SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, no way has this dude been having sex with him. 01:02:17.378 --> 01:02:18.859 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, first off a cool cover. 01:02:18.899 --> 01:02:19.900 [SPEAKER_01]: We got Lex here. 01:02:20.801 --> 01:02:22.382 [SPEAKER_01]: I really love this art style. 01:02:22.442 --> 01:02:28.027 [SPEAKER_01]: It brings such a great vibe suit Superman and such a kind of unique take on it. 01:02:28.247 --> 01:02:31.891 [SPEAKER_01]: It takes things down on that's what I which I really like. 01:02:33.212 --> 01:02:39.618 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but you know, we get Lex really kind of being more villain than we've seen in the past here. 01:02:39.678 --> 01:02:42.981 [SPEAKER_01]: So he's getting his hands dirty, you know, so I'm scared. 01:02:45.260 --> 01:02:46.021 [SPEAKER_02]: I agree. 01:02:46.201 --> 01:02:47.061 [SPEAKER_02]: I really enjoy this. 01:02:47.201 --> 01:02:54.803 [SPEAKER_02]: I think the Lex that has been created here is really fucked up like he's a good bad Lex. 01:02:55.343 --> 01:02:58.004 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so West Craig great job there the artist fantastic. 01:02:58.424 --> 01:03:07.127 [SPEAKER_02]: I really like the sequence where Clark sort of like wants to take this girl this woman home and then distracted by a petty crime. 01:03:07.487 --> 01:03:10.129 [SPEAKER_02]: And she's like, you're weird, I'm out of here. 01:03:10.550 --> 01:03:15.414 [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I thought that sequence was really nice and felt so organically done. 01:03:15.854 --> 01:03:29.046 [SPEAKER_03]: There's also a great panel in here of Superman hanging out of building, waiting for a presumed millionaire, given the time period, but maybe billionaire, who has done some wrong, that is so cool. 01:03:29.106 --> 01:03:30.567 [SPEAKER_03]: The art is great throughout here. 01:03:31.548 --> 01:03:44.032 [SPEAKER_03]: It's Westcrack very much has an own style, and I think he's really pushing it hard in the series, but this feels in line with Prime, Jeff Loeb, Tim Sal, stuff that they were doing. 01:03:44.072 --> 01:03:51.994 [SPEAKER_03]: Like, if you would tell me 20, 30 years ago that they were following up, Batman, Long Halloween, with something like this, I would not have been surprised. 01:03:52.074 --> 01:03:55.955 [SPEAKER_03]: So if you like that stuff, definitely pick up Superman, the stranger. 01:03:56.096 --> 01:04:00.137 [SPEAKER_02]: With an edge to it, this has like a nice, nice size of an issue based edge to it. 01:04:01.057 --> 01:04:07.741 [SPEAKER_03]: Flex House presents, never want, for voting press, written by Matt Kin, art by Allison Samson, Brian Hurt, David Lappin, and Matt Kint. 01:04:07.761 --> 01:04:10.862 [SPEAKER_03]: This is an anthology of a bunch of different tales. 01:04:10.922 --> 01:04:12.943 [SPEAKER_03]: Some of which will continue in Flex House present. 01:04:13.064 --> 01:04:18.146 [SPEAKER_03]: Others that will pick up in other titles that Matt Kin is doing on his Flex House label. 01:04:18.206 --> 01:04:22.709 [SPEAKER_03]: And as he talks to the back matter, he talks about how he loved anthologies back in the day. 01:04:22.729 --> 01:04:26.131 [SPEAKER_03]: It was something he felt you can only do this way in comics. 01:04:26.471 --> 01:04:28.252 [SPEAKER_03]: And he wants to bring that excitement back. 01:04:31.155 --> 01:04:31.936 [SPEAKER_02]: huge success. 01:04:32.216 --> 01:04:39.920 [SPEAKER_02]: I thought this was a great, a great piece of the Fort Psycho legend, and it really reading this story here. 01:04:40.060 --> 01:04:42.121 [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, oh man, Fort Psycho is so good. 01:04:42.142 --> 01:04:43.042 [SPEAKER_02]: It's such a good idea. 01:04:43.402 --> 01:04:44.483 [SPEAKER_02]: It's so well handled. 01:04:45.423 --> 01:04:47.585 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm super excited to just keep reading that. 01:04:47.625 --> 01:04:51.967 [SPEAKER_02]: So I was very much in the tank for that already, but this only brought up my excitement. 01:04:52.368 --> 01:04:59.292 [SPEAKER_02]: The second story, Room 101, great little horror thing here, and this is just a lead into a series coming soon. 01:05:00.187 --> 01:05:22.618 [SPEAKER_02]: really great and then we get this other story spark that is big long story not a lot of words shots to pee yeah but something that is going to be continuing on in this anthology so really well chosen tales i thought yeah i agree i was really impressed with the package here i felt like they did a great job of giving you some really amazing stories um 01:05:23.795 --> 01:05:46.738 [SPEAKER_01]: first story really freaked me out with that bloody face kid, but yeah, the assassins with that dude in the suitcase was kind of crazy, but the art really impressive, especially with that one story that was like green, that were for a lot of it, and then kind of had like highlights of red, which was really cool reminded me of that horror story with that dude with the red 01:05:47.038 --> 01:05:50.839 [SPEAKER_01]: Grimmed glasses who we thought was like a werewolf old time. 01:05:51.359 --> 01:05:53.140 [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, just leapsleep. 01:05:53.440 --> 01:05:53.760 [SPEAKER_01]: Sleep. 01:05:53.820 --> 01:05:54.240 [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you. 01:05:54.300 --> 01:05:55.640 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is a sleep. 01:05:55.920 --> 01:05:56.621 [SPEAKER_01]: Sleep. 01:05:56.641 --> 01:05:57.261 [SPEAKER_02]: Sleep. 01:05:57.361 --> 01:05:57.641 [SPEAKER_02]: Sleep. 01:05:57.661 --> 01:05:57.901 [SPEAKER_02]: Sleep. 01:05:58.201 --> 01:05:59.381 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, we're all. 01:05:59.481 --> 01:06:06.283 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I just I feel like they did such a great job of curating all these stories. 01:06:06.943 --> 01:06:08.904 [SPEAKER_01]: I felt like this was a great package. 01:06:10.047 --> 01:06:15.833 [SPEAKER_03]: Hellboy and Hell, nothing but blood, number one from Dark Horse Comics, written by Mike Manuela Art by Cyril Pomis. 01:06:16.073 --> 01:06:20.818 [SPEAKER_03]: This is a continuation of the time when Hellboy, Perth title, was in Hell. 01:06:21.799 --> 01:06:29.306 [SPEAKER_03]: And here there are some bad things that are coming for him, even in Hell, as well as a potential ally at the same time. 01:06:30.768 --> 01:06:31.388 [SPEAKER_03]: Would you guys think? 01:06:31.609 --> 01:06:32.890 [SPEAKER_03]: Another Hellboy book. 01:06:33.627 --> 01:06:40.590 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, I want to help you back really bad and work in kind of tease with this, but this was awesome. 01:06:41.470 --> 01:06:46.272 [SPEAKER_01]: I was kind of cool to be chillin with them here, Liddy helps him out. 01:06:46.612 --> 01:06:49.233 [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I, you know, who's evil? 01:06:49.293 --> 01:06:49.953 [SPEAKER_01]: Who's not? 01:06:50.334 --> 01:06:51.234 [SPEAKER_01]: Who do you trust? 01:06:51.614 --> 01:06:53.015 [SPEAKER_01]: Great art, great action. 01:06:53.035 --> 01:06:54.075 [SPEAKER_01]: This was a blast. 01:06:55.103 --> 01:06:55.924 [SPEAKER_02]: really nice art. 01:06:56.104 --> 01:06:58.765 [SPEAKER_02]: It does feel closer to the old school hellboy stuff. 01:06:59.066 --> 01:07:02.708 [SPEAKER_02]: I do still feel like not enough happens in this story. 01:07:02.788 --> 01:07:03.388 [SPEAKER_02]: Like I want. 01:07:03.728 --> 01:07:08.171 [SPEAKER_02]: Hellboy in a lot of the stories feels a little bit like in a similar way like huh? 01:07:08.431 --> 01:07:09.072 [SPEAKER_02]: What is this? 01:07:09.332 --> 01:07:10.132 [SPEAKER_02]: What is going on? 01:07:10.213 --> 01:07:13.475 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, I'm like, I'll get a get on board guys. 01:07:13.775 --> 01:07:21.940 [SPEAKER_02]: Like your hellboy be figured out a little bit and it just feels like that's the stasis point for hellboy where 01:07:22.872 --> 01:07:24.513 [SPEAKER_02]: where it this whole universe is. 01:07:25.174 --> 01:07:34.602 [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it's a tough choice how boys in like he had one person guiding him and then this other kind of monster was like, no, no, she's bad. 01:07:34.642 --> 01:07:37.645 [SPEAKER_01]: And then it's like, well, who do you trust, you know what I mean? 01:07:37.685 --> 01:07:39.987 [SPEAKER_01]: So it's, it's, it's, it's interesting to see how it gets out of this. 01:07:41.343 --> 01:07:53.698 [SPEAKER_03]: Tells of wonder, number two, from Image Comics by Steve Scroche, this is a zone to you guys who are definitely not Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, who invented an Avengers style team back in the day, except they didn't at all. 01:07:54.158 --> 01:07:58.524 [SPEAKER_03]: They actually met them during World War II and then just wrote down their adventures. 01:07:58.984 --> 01:08:01.387 [SPEAKER_03]: before the heroes were taken out of the world. 01:08:01.447 --> 01:08:10.598 [SPEAKER_03]: Now years later, they are bitter old enemies who have been made young again and are told that the fate of the world depends on them helping out this team. 01:08:11.098 --> 01:08:18.327 [SPEAKER_03]: Except, most of this issue, that team is really concerned with marketing and license rights and writing in public books. 01:08:18.847 --> 01:08:24.014 [SPEAKER_03]: So, it's very satirical, in case you could tell, I really enjoyed the first issue. 01:08:24.074 --> 01:08:27.799 [SPEAKER_03]: I had fun reading this one as well, and I love Steve Scrochee's art style. 01:08:27.819 --> 01:08:29.802 [SPEAKER_03]: It's just one I love seeing his stuff. 01:08:30.343 --> 01:08:31.124 [SPEAKER_03]: But what did you guys think? 01:08:31.364 --> 01:08:33.387 [SPEAKER_03]: I think we're all pretty positive about the first issue. 01:08:33.747 --> 01:08:35.530 [SPEAKER_03]: Do you think it held up in the issue too? 01:08:36.427 --> 01:08:58.701 [SPEAKER_02]: yes i think it did i feel similar to what you said like it's it follows up on that keeping the satire going uh... doing a little some inside baseball stuff about the world of comic books and the history of comics and that's cool but also just some roasting of how we treat uh... ip in general now while still having some good superhero action and i like the cliffhanger at the end 01:08:59.320 --> 01:09:02.383 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, just a gentle roasting of the nuts, you know what I mean? 01:09:03.004 --> 01:09:04.345 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, I agree. 01:09:04.385 --> 01:09:11.453 [SPEAKER_01]: This is, this is really fun, um, you know, characters that kind of go between worlds here and what's real type of thing. 01:09:11.513 --> 01:09:15.998 [SPEAKER_01]: So, uh, this very cool, solid, art fun characters. 01:09:16.138 --> 01:09:18.120 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I, I thought this was enjoyable. 01:09:18.280 --> 01:09:20.263 [SPEAKER_01]: The Scroach, man, love to work. 01:09:21.365 --> 01:09:28.468 [SPEAKER_03]: Witness point, number three, from Dark Horse Comics written by Heath Corson, who is going to be at our live show next week or five weeks again. 01:09:28.488 --> 01:09:30.989 [SPEAKER_03]: Look at the timing, look at the timing. 01:09:31.409 --> 01:09:36.951 [SPEAKER_03]: This is about a town which is full of people who are in witness protection. 01:09:37.331 --> 01:09:40.473 [SPEAKER_03]: There's been a murder that they are trying to track down who done it. 01:09:40.973 --> 01:09:45.535 [SPEAKER_03]: Meanwhile, there's also, and this is true for this town that I'm liking on the name of right now. 01:09:45.555 --> 01:09:48.416 [SPEAKER_03]: I believe it's Woodbrook or Woodberry, something like that. 01:09:48.956 --> 01:09:50.377 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's called Woodrow Point. 01:09:50.978 --> 01:09:51.939 [SPEAKER_02]: It's called the witness point. 01:09:54.060 --> 01:10:04.508 [SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, in this town, there actually is a whole population of circus people who live there as well, which we avoided in the second, barely mentioned the first issue. 01:10:04.628 --> 01:10:09.532 [SPEAKER_03]: Avoid it in the second issue, but dive deep into this issue at a very fun way. 01:10:09.692 --> 01:10:11.033 [SPEAKER_03]: Well, let's talk about this. 01:10:11.694 --> 01:10:13.155 [SPEAKER_02]: Check off circus town. 01:10:13.375 --> 01:10:13.915 [SPEAKER_02]: It's again. 01:10:14.216 --> 01:10:16.838 [SPEAKER_02]: You got to open up the circus. 01:10:18.253 --> 01:10:34.163 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I like the fact that we kind of, you know, we dealt with a circus folks here, but it wasn't all negative, like I thought the moment where they appreciated how adorable elephants are was really kind of a sweet moment and all the madness. 01:10:34.643 --> 01:10:43.789 [SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, because a lot of times people just like shit on circuses or clowns or whatever, and I think this kind of, you know, also we got to see the other side of that a little bit. 01:10:44.029 --> 01:10:46.371 [SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I thought this was really cool. 01:10:47.672 --> 01:10:49.494 [SPEAKER_02]: I always ride for circus folk. 01:10:49.894 --> 01:10:51.656 [SPEAKER_01]: No, I don't as album does. 01:10:52.277 --> 01:10:52.677 [SPEAKER_01]: Of course. 01:10:53.058 --> 01:11:00.346 [SPEAKER_03]: I was just hoping for that we theorize that our main character was probably in witness protection himself and spoiler. 01:11:00.707 --> 01:11:01.147 [SPEAKER_03]: He is. 01:11:01.648 --> 01:11:02.889 [SPEAKER_03]: But I liked how they did it. 01:11:02.929 --> 01:11:07.555 [SPEAKER_03]: They gave it a nice twist that I wasn't necessarily expecting that fits really well with the character. 01:11:08.035 --> 01:11:09.236 [SPEAKER_03]: So good stuff. 01:11:09.256 --> 01:11:18.622 [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it has this smart construction that is almost lost in the way we flash back in a very specific way on a lot of our characters. 01:11:19.183 --> 01:11:35.714 [SPEAKER_02]: It's a fun mechanic that really works, I think, it never feels, I'm just excited to get to the crime flashback for each character and that's just smart construction and it does feel like the next issue is when things are going to really open up and get weird from a circus point of view. 01:11:36.900 --> 01:11:58.025 [SPEAKER_03]: Crowbound number two from image comics written by Jeff LeMira art by Dustin when lots to dig into here but this takes place in a strange world where it seems like there were many humans are all inside of a giant factory outside as big flesh thing and the men of the world take girls when they are of age or of not. 01:11:58.685 --> 01:12:03.126 [SPEAKER_03]: A daughter is taken the mother chased after her seemingly died and now 01:12:05.487 --> 01:12:10.895 [SPEAKER_03]: as a vengeful spirit by something to get back her daughter and bring that vengeance. 01:12:11.716 --> 01:12:19.288 [SPEAKER_03]: To this world, so as usual with this team, lots of mysteries, lots of strangeness going on here, what you guys think about issue number two. 01:12:20.462 --> 01:12:27.948 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, yeah, I love a nice revenge, you know, nice going on a murder spree here, vengeful spree. 01:12:27.968 --> 01:12:36.495 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, the art's unbelievable, just really, I'm a sucker for watercolors and this just kind of hits that in such a cool way. 01:12:36.515 --> 01:12:39.797 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the monsters are fantastic looking. 01:12:39.817 --> 01:12:43.880 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is a crazy tail and it's in great hand. 01:12:43.960 --> 01:12:47.003 [SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, I'm very much enjoying this and looking forward to more. 01:12:48.869 --> 01:12:49.731 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I enjoy this. 01:12:49.771 --> 01:12:52.158 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's crazy for a series called Crowbound. 01:12:52.218 --> 01:12:53.763 [SPEAKER_02]: I haven't seen any crows yet. 01:12:55.435 --> 01:12:56.516 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, you're crowed. 01:12:56.556 --> 01:12:57.756 [SPEAKER_02]: You're not cool. 01:12:57.817 --> 01:12:58.277 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:12:58.317 --> 01:12:58.537 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:12:58.557 --> 01:12:59.277 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, fair. 01:12:59.297 --> 01:12:59.398 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:12:59.438 --> 01:13:00.658 [SPEAKER_02]: Now it's the pros. 01:13:00.778 --> 01:13:02.139 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:13:02.179 --> 01:13:04.121 [SPEAKER_01]: Coming soon. 01:13:04.161 --> 01:13:04.501 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 01:13:04.521 --> 01:13:04.901 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 01:13:05.601 --> 01:13:06.962 [SPEAKER_02]: I know it's a classic surf Dracula. 01:13:07.423 --> 01:13:09.444 [SPEAKER_02]: It's a classic surf Dracula. 01:13:09.524 --> 01:13:11.125 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh. 01:13:11.265 --> 01:13:11.525 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh. 01:13:11.585 --> 01:13:12.186 [SPEAKER_03]: Oh. 01:13:12.506 --> 01:13:12.726 [SPEAKER_03]: No. 01:13:12.746 --> 01:13:14.307 [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's more of a turf Dracula. 01:13:14.367 --> 01:13:14.987 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 01:13:15.008 --> 01:13:15.508 [SPEAKER_02]: You think so? 01:13:15.688 --> 01:13:16.589 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 01:13:17.249 --> 01:13:17.429 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 01:13:17.449 --> 01:13:17.589 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 01:13:21.992 --> 01:13:44.051 [SPEAKER_02]: The I really do like these characters it's a tragic like we're really in on the tragedy of what's happening here just this is the second issue and it's like deeply upsetting so we are very much behind the righteous revenge that Pete was mentioning that happens in the issue and looking forward to more and the 01:13:45.330 --> 01:13:56.664 [SPEAKER_02]: mystery underneath like this team is great at building a very long status fine mystery and I don't know if that's the exact plan for this series but I certainly hope so. 01:13:58.607 --> 01:14:24.962 [SPEAKER_03]: only the savager left number four from dark horse comics written by Zach Kaplan art by Stefano Raphael this takes place in a post of hock electric world where people are being turned into monsters and the only way not to turn into a monster is kill somebody else class being turned into a monster before they turn into a monster if I remember the rules correctly we're mostly following one guy and his girlfriend who have been split apart by this world um... what do you guys think about this issue? 01:14:25.827 --> 01:14:40.585 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, we get the crosswalk shield guy here and a monster hand team and up so yeah some crazy fight sequences here and doesn't go I think it's going to go but great art tons of action. 01:14:40.605 --> 01:14:43.348 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this continues to be enjoyable. 01:14:44.644 --> 01:14:48.831 [SPEAKER_01]: Roadside would you want to be your sort of sigil in a post-apocalyptic battle? 01:14:48.852 --> 01:14:53.519 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's a tough thing because when you're, you know, in a giant battle, you know what I mean? 01:14:53.560 --> 01:14:56.224 [SPEAKER_01]: Like does the brighter colors help you or hurt you? 01:14:56.384 --> 01:14:57.126 [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean? 01:14:57.206 --> 01:14:57.887 [SPEAKER_01]: So it's like... 01:14:58.477 --> 01:15:01.218 [SPEAKER_01]: Would you, or is the shape more important? 01:15:01.238 --> 01:15:01.719 [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean? 01:15:01.779 --> 01:15:05.801 [SPEAKER_01]: Is the stop side because it's got more coverage versus like the dry gold or you. 01:15:05.881 --> 01:15:07.902 [SPEAKER_02]: I would think you wouldn't want a one way for that reason. 01:15:08.402 --> 01:15:09.382 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, it's a good point. 01:15:09.483 --> 01:15:14.445 [SPEAKER_01]: But one way you could almost use as a sword because it is thinner, you know what I mean? 01:15:14.485 --> 01:15:16.766 [SPEAKER_01]: So, but not as much as the shield. 01:15:16.886 --> 01:15:19.748 [SPEAKER_01]: I would go with yield, go with yield. 01:15:20.738 --> 01:15:26.663 [SPEAKER_03]: I would love one of those duck crossing signs because I feel like people will be like, oh, are the ducks of the night ducks? 01:15:26.723 --> 01:15:28.965 [SPEAKER_01]: I want to get them in the structure to bam in the face. 01:15:28.985 --> 01:15:32.968 [SPEAKER_01]: Those skids, you know, I'll be like, oh, remember skids, you know, that's a fun sign. 01:15:33.712 --> 01:15:35.414 [SPEAKER_02]: You mean the clothing brand skids? 01:15:35.434 --> 01:15:36.235 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly. 01:15:36.255 --> 01:15:36.855 [SPEAKER_01]: Remember Skids? 01:15:37.516 --> 01:15:42.201 [SPEAKER_02]: See, in a middle of a poster back with the battle, your strategy would be to hit him with a nostalgia bag. 01:15:42.241 --> 01:15:45.384 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly, distract them, distract those monsters. 01:15:45.704 --> 01:15:50.489 [SPEAKER_02]: And you say of all the things in culture, skids is the thing that you really want to eat. 01:15:50.509 --> 01:15:51.530 [SPEAKER_02]: We're talking about science. 01:15:51.630 --> 01:15:52.531 [SPEAKER_01]: We're talking about science. 01:15:52.611 --> 01:15:55.374 [SPEAKER_01]: It comes to the science of most culture thing is Skids. 01:15:56.635 --> 01:16:05.323 [SPEAKER_03]: I got to tell you, if we're in a post-apocalyptic world, not to get too far away from skids, but you know, Pete's plan is to hit with a nostalgia bath as we establish that is a bag of mayonnaise. 01:16:05.803 --> 01:16:07.564 [SPEAKER_03]: That's bad mayonnaise at this point. 01:16:07.705 --> 01:16:10.427 [SPEAKER_03]: So if you're growing bad mayonnaise and people, that's going to work. 01:16:11.147 --> 01:16:13.770 [SPEAKER_02]: Just one of the biggest things that he's going to be worse bad. 01:16:13.790 --> 01:16:16.672 [SPEAKER_02]: One of the things I'm worried about in the apocalypse is how quickly the 01:16:22.941 --> 01:16:27.185 [SPEAKER_02]: I love mayonnaise and love tartar sauce, which is mayonnaise plus plus pickles. 01:16:27.566 --> 01:16:28.106 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, man. 01:16:28.547 --> 01:16:33.852 [SPEAKER_03]: I actually think mayonnaise is a very good metaphor for nostalgia because it does not get better with time. 01:16:36.140 --> 01:16:55.339 [SPEAKER_02]: I like this book, I want to just highlight the format a little bit, telling the story of the couple who are split up and in this life on the line battle, seeing that story while we're flashing back to them having their first romance before the apocalypse is really smart. 01:16:55.399 --> 01:16:58.041 [SPEAKER_02]: I haven't seen that before and it does, it works really well here. 01:16:59.639 --> 01:17:11.182 [SPEAKER_03]: Last but not least, of the earth, number six from the image comics written by Chris Condon and Andrew Eric, art by Charlie Adlard, I believe this is the last issue of this title about a little monster that is attacking a woman. 01:17:11.902 --> 01:17:22.365 [SPEAKER_03]: She had a killer grandmother last issue, which really I'm sure bummed Pete out, but now she is on the run from the oil monster and boy oh boy, that oil monster will not leave her alone. 01:17:22.945 --> 01:17:26.986 [SPEAKER_02]: The only way for this grandma to live is if a codcaster dates her. 01:17:29.879 --> 01:17:32.800 [SPEAKER_02]: who could we get for this man of the following. 01:17:32.820 --> 01:17:33.580 [SPEAKER_02]: There was somebody. 01:17:34.341 --> 01:17:35.421 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I enjoyed this. 01:17:35.461 --> 01:17:36.782 [SPEAKER_01]: The arts fantastic. 01:17:36.942 --> 01:17:39.423 [SPEAKER_01]: The kind of oil monsters unique and cool. 01:17:39.763 --> 01:17:40.983 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this is high tension. 01:17:41.023 --> 01:17:46.185 [SPEAKER_01]: This is at your seat, non-stop kind of a roller coaster issue, man. 01:17:46.245 --> 01:17:48.806 [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I very much enjoyed it. 01:17:50.195 --> 01:17:55.862 [SPEAKER_02]: Um, yeah, I mean, I was bummed out how quickly our oil company guy was dispatched last issue. 01:17:56.602 --> 01:18:00.307 [SPEAKER_02]: I wish we got a little bit more time with him because he felt like a nice character. 01:18:01.208 --> 01:18:05.833 [SPEAKER_02]: We get the sort of pull back to the corporate malfeasance behind all of this. 01:18:05.913 --> 01:18:08.256 [SPEAKER_02]: I like that ending for it. 01:18:10.659 --> 01:18:14.985 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not saying, I don't know if we'll revisit this story if Chris wants to come back. 01:18:15.426 --> 01:18:19.511 [SPEAKER_02]: Chris and Andrew want to come back and make more of this, but I want to know more about what's happening here. 01:18:19.571 --> 01:18:25.540 [SPEAKER_03]: It feels like there's a big, deeper, longer mystery here, so I don't know if we will, but I would like to. 01:18:26.875 --> 01:18:29.097 [SPEAKER_03]: And that is it for the stack before you wrap up. 01:18:29.158 --> 01:18:31.340 [SPEAKER_03]: Let's talk about what our pick is. 01:18:31.420 --> 01:18:41.050 [SPEAKER_03]: If you add five bucks to go into a comic book shop and pick up one title of everything in the stack, everything that we talked about today, what would it be? 01:18:41.210 --> 01:18:42.271 [SPEAKER_03]: This is hard. 01:18:42.351 --> 01:18:43.593 [SPEAKER_03]: This is a hard decision. 01:18:43.633 --> 01:18:44.754 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, hard to stack. 01:18:45.294 --> 01:18:50.898 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to go with, because Alex, you did a great job curating, such a great stack. 01:18:51.358 --> 01:18:51.699 [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you. 01:18:51.919 --> 01:19:12.293 [SPEAKER_01]: All of these choices would be awesome if you went to a store, but I would go with back at a number 24 just because it was just such a fun, like in the middle of this kind of bad seed, like just focus on spoiler and her determination, and I'd really like her as a character, so I'm glad she's getting a little shine, you know? 01:19:13.612 --> 01:19:14.172 [SPEAKER_02]: That's really nice. 01:19:14.292 --> 01:19:22.697 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm happy to hear you say that because I didn't want you to take my pick, which is the demon number one Was my fave of the league man. 01:19:22.757 --> 01:19:27.379 [SPEAKER_02]: What a pleasant surprise the James Heron One man banned on this. 01:19:27.440 --> 01:19:31.642 [SPEAKER_02]: I thought was excellent and I'm really really good issue this week 01:19:33.049 --> 01:19:38.652 [SPEAKER_02]: And this is tough, but I'm going to go for a Sabrina the Teenage Witch number one for Woody Press. 01:19:38.812 --> 01:19:39.613 [SPEAKER_03]: I just got that. 01:19:39.713 --> 01:19:46.316 [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, you know, I'm all in on the Archie comic stuff anyway, but I just thought they knocked this one out of the park. 01:19:46.396 --> 01:19:50.058 [SPEAKER_03]: I liked what they did with Archie number one last month, but this. 01:19:50.899 --> 01:19:53.901 [SPEAKER_03]: For all the reasons that we talked about earlier, just absolutely crushed it. 01:19:54.141 --> 01:19:58.303 [SPEAKER_03]: And it's also just a great intro to the world of Sabrina. 01:19:58.864 --> 01:20:00.645 [SPEAKER_03]: A beautiful art really loved that. 01:20:00.785 --> 01:20:14.635 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I know we don't get a second one, but if we did I would definitely say something is killing the children in number 50 No, but you wouldn't we don't you imagine having ten dollars to go into a comic book shop That would be crazy glorious. 01:20:15.036 --> 01:20:22.061 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we next week will do what if you had five thousand dollars to go into a comic book shop Oh, man, I'll quickly would you spend it? 01:20:23.001 --> 01:20:24.943 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm someone for their job and their security batch 01:20:25.324 --> 01:20:26.529 [SPEAKER_03]: I just thought it was an amazing idea. 01:20:26.629 --> 01:20:28.939 [SPEAKER_03]: Supermarket suite, but for a comic workshop. 01:20:30.661 --> 01:20:32.681 [SPEAKER_01]: Wait, not playing with a kid, Greg. 01:20:32.701 --> 01:20:34.962 [SPEAKER_01]: Let's get the security guy to look the other ways. 01:20:35.022 --> 01:20:36.622 [SPEAKER_01]: You can steal all the comics? 01:20:36.922 --> 01:20:40.203 [SPEAKER_02]: No, not steal to come back there and work there and live there. 01:20:42.524 --> 01:20:43.564 [SPEAKER_02]: Get it, whenever it works. 01:20:43.604 --> 01:20:44.684 [SPEAKER_02]: Five thousand dollars. 01:20:44.784 --> 01:20:45.604 [SPEAKER_02]: Let me apply. 01:20:45.644 --> 01:20:48.825 [SPEAKER_02]: Let me just hang out and read all your comics. 01:20:48.845 --> 01:20:51.006 [SPEAKER_02]: Can just read that. 01:20:51.126 --> 01:20:53.026 [SPEAKER_03]: There's actually whatever I got in midtown comics. 01:20:53.046 --> 01:20:53.946 [SPEAKER_03]: This is a guy outside. 01:20:53.986 --> 01:20:55.127 [SPEAKER_03]: I give five thousand dollars. 01:20:55.187 --> 01:20:56.447 [SPEAKER_03]: And he lets me write up the stories. 01:20:56.887 --> 01:20:58.768 [SPEAKER_03]: Wow, amazing, you've got to do that. 01:20:58.788 --> 01:20:59.709 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm really sure I knew
