[SPEAKER_02]: What's up, everybody?
[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome to Comic Book Club, I'm Alex.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm Justin.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm Pete.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you're coming to you from a couple of different shirts.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not that many shirts to be perfectly honest.
[SPEAKER_04]: You are literally should, you know?
[SPEAKER_04]: You are a number.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, we're coming to you coming from a couple of places on the internet for Live On Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Kewack, Twitch, Instagram, maybe you're listening later wherever you get your podcast.
[SPEAKER_02]: In which case, if you want to add free versions of this podcast,
[SPEAKER_02]: and on the podcast we do patreon.com slash comic book club but boys we've been all over the world the past week of the world travelers I was in California, Justin was in Mexico, Pete was in the woods hunting for food as he has always wanted to do.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's normal.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's not travel really.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's traveling.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's traveling outside.
[SPEAKER_04]: And you call it your squirrel stand right where you shoot
[SPEAKER_01]: I was actually at my nephew's traveling soccer club game, so it was funny.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, snowy out there, I bet.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, man.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no, I don't like that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that it was going to be more after that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Why didn't one deal with it?
[SPEAKER_01]: Foot-foot-solves inside, so luckily, you know, it was all right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Foot-solves?
[SPEAKER_01]: Foot-solves.
[SPEAKER_01]: foot saw, what is a foot saw?
[SPEAKER_01]: Foot saw, it's indoor.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh no!
[SPEAKER_01]: Spider-Man, just bow.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is going hardly wrong.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's quite a bad.
[SPEAKER_02]: Usually, this is not comes on.
[SPEAKER_02]: He usually sticks to stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's like, oh, it's the opposite of what he should be doing.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like Wolverine being unable to cut something.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I think that's going to be replaced by a Superman photo by the one that's interviewed.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, that'll be good for the audio podcast.
[SPEAKER_02]: Listen, as we have teased already, thanks to Pete's thing falling.
[SPEAKER_02]: We have a great guest for you this evening.
[SPEAKER_02]: We have it out of them on the show for a while, but I'm very excited to have it back, because he has a ton of stuff going on.
[SPEAKER_02]: including Superman on the Limited for DC Spider-Man, Superman for Marvel, DC.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fantastic for our first foes for Marvel and Spectacular Spider-Man brand new day also for Marvel.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ladies and gentlemen, Dan Slot, Dan.
[SPEAKER_02]: So excited.
[SPEAKER_02]: So excited, Jeff, you back, Dad.
[SPEAKER_02]: It has been so long.
[SPEAKER_02]: We used to have you regularly on our live show when we were alive in a theater.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think this is the first time we've had you on streaming.
[SPEAKER_02]: So great seeing your face again.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, great to see.
[SPEAKER_00]: We did a bunch of live shows at the old theater for when we were kicking off brand new day.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: How long this has been?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're talking about drinking tears.
[SPEAKER_04]: He, that beard is grown from the last time he was on comic book club until this right day.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pulling the peat.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I love it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You are.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're all different evolutions of each other.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, Ted, as I mentioned, you have a ridiculous amount of stuff going out.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I want to kind of roughly go in a release date order.
[SPEAKER_02]: What did we start with Superman on Limited?
[SPEAKER_02]: Because that's I'm going right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: People can pick up.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the first collection is coming out tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I do that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I do that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Good timing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Excellent timing because the crypto night kingdom, which is the name of the first volume.
[SPEAKER_00]: is going to become very important in 2026 in all super titles.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you have all been reading them out, you should jump in.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very new reader friendly and if you're a superman fan, you're going to want it for 2026.
[SPEAKER_00]: it's crazy to me that you're writing the title that like there's all the chaos stuff happening there's like big storytelling you're telling like an equally big story in your title and the same time that is divorced from all of that it's well you're it's it's going to all yeah I'm sure no doubt yeah in in Josh's Superman title in Mark's action in Sophie's Supergirl everything is it's all going to come together with Superman and
[SPEAKER_00]: And the state of L. Caldero, the kryptonite kingdom, and all the kryptonite around the year.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, just a big step back and not even specifically talk plot stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure you talked a lot about this a lot when the title first came out.
[SPEAKER_02]: But now that you're...
[SPEAKER_02]: 10 issues in as I mentioned 10 issues are out.
[SPEAKER_02]: The 11th issue is coming out next month on March 18th and kicking off the rate of the super boys.
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you see?
[SPEAKER_02]: What is the M-O of the title?
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, where does this fit in with superman action comics and then superman on lemonade?
[SPEAKER_00]: We're the book that if you want to jump in at any point, like a lot of our issues are jump on points.
[SPEAKER_00]: And also they're very new reader friendly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like if you're new to the DCU, if you're new to Superman, you can just, like if you saw the movie and you're all like, oh, I love this and you know the super girls movies coming out soon, you can just jump into this book and you're going to get a lot of done in ones, maybe two partners.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's really with rain is super boy.
[SPEAKER_00]: the random super boys that were all jumping in and mixing up with each other.
[SPEAKER_00]: There will be super boy prime references pretty soon in our title.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to see some profit.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's stuff I don't want to tease, but I'm really happy with our first issue.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're having a lot of fun with this.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're introducing and updating new characters you know and like we have a new toy man.
[SPEAKER_00]: We just had a new prankster.
[SPEAKER_00]: because Mr. Nixon, for like, is the fifth dimensional demon.
[SPEAKER_00]: A fifth dimensional imp is warning of a fourth dimensional demon.
[SPEAKER_00]: that is John's worst enemy, his urch enemy.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's like, I don't know this guy.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, oh, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: I had to clarify for our listeners, John has in three dimensions, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: Just to sort of like, I mean, technically pretty much, too, in the live.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, that's the real.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm talking about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But you're the fourth dimensional demon, Mr. Tixia's Master Tixia's.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and I'm so happy that some people online have figured it out already, which is, um, the XYZ access is how you plot something in three dimensions.
[SPEAKER_00]: And T is the variable for time.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he is T XYZ master.
[SPEAKER_00]: that's awesome.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a math thinking there.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, I feel like someone that's to go away out for a second, like you worked on Spider-Man forever.
[SPEAKER_04]: You found like all of the, you found all the little nooks and crannies.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then you come to Superman with maybe even more nukes in crannies.
[SPEAKER_04]: How did you first approach we had to find?
[SPEAKER_00]: We are getting the nukiest nukes in the crannies crannies in in Superman I'm limited and it's really I'm at the stage of my life where we can swear, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm in the fucking stage.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're in the cranny.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just like, I get a canisterite Superman.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, hell, we're going to use the Supermobile.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're going to bring back Superman versus the moment.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you caught it in Superman Unlimited Number 10 last week, the final shot had a tip of the hat to do you know who Nick O'Teen is?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here to all of you on YouTube and Google Superman, like do a search for Superman and Nick Oteen.
[SPEAKER_00]: They were PSA ads from the UK, where Superman taught kids not to smoke, and his art enemy was Nick Oteen.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Nick Oteen pops up like anything I love about Superman from any era, Silver Age, Bronze Age, modern, it's all coming together.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just throwing whatever I want to play with in the DCU into this book, I was exclusive to Marvel for 20 years and I did a Batman Arkham book and a Batman Adventure book before my exclusivity kicked in.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I went for 20 years without being able to write DC characters.
[SPEAKER_00]: So now it's like you give me a monthly book.
[SPEAKER_00]: and like issue to the creepers in it issue four robin in the birds of prayer in it and you know God garners in issue like seven and I'm just like throw anything in there I'm like yay so happy whenever I sit down to write Superman and unlimited
[SPEAKER_02]: What are you feeling then?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I assume you're at least a little bit ahead at this point, so like you're about a year in on writing Superman versus that first issue.
[SPEAKER_02]: Where is your comfort level or does it feel like, oh, god, I'm writing Superman.
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you do on this point?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, seriously, fuck it years.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just having a blast and
[SPEAKER_00]: Our artist, Lucas Meyer, is so good.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like a secret weapon, and my biggest fear now is other editors of DC will steal him.
[SPEAKER_00]: That we're just anything I throw at Lucas is great.
[SPEAKER_00]: When we go, you're going to see an issue 12.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's drawn 13 now.
[SPEAKER_00]: It should 12, like he's done.
[SPEAKER_00]: Issue 12, we're doing BEPO the super monkey.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh man, I'm a modern day Bethel what would happen if you took a monkey with monkey-level intelligence and gave them the powers of a cryptocurrency and just went and there you go in a metropolis and what's going to happen?
[SPEAKER_02]: We actually have a question about that over on YouTube.
[SPEAKER_02]: Spidey 616 says can't help but wonder if all of the all new internet star punch the monkey is influencing Dan's take on Beppo the Super Monkey.
[SPEAKER_00]: My, my take on Beppo the Super Monkey is way more.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, it's less punch and it's way more.
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was really.
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the things that really made me mad was, I had written so much stuff and that all this stuff planned.
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's a John Delaney episode of Saturday Night Live where they did a sketch with a monkey called Beppo.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no, because our Beppo has the same gear.
[SPEAKER_00]: where he has a button.
[SPEAKER_00]: Beppo, sad, beppo, angry, and that's in that sketch.
[SPEAKER_00]: And people are going to think we ripped it off.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, no, it's crazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Great comedy mindset, you're like, to keep walking through the date stuff or in date order, coming up on March 25th, you got a fantastic four first foes, which is very exciting.
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is, yeah, go ahead, Dad.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's so many parts of this that are like a perfect storm, which is when I was doing my 10 year on Fantastic Four, one of my favorite things we did was galsamone did a fantastic four wedding special when we married Ben Grimm and I got to do it a short story back up in it and it was the first time I ever got to work with Mark Buckingham.
[SPEAKER_00]: who is fantastic and him drawing the FF is his sweet spot like where he's he just loves Kirby and he lives for Kirby and he just became like a default button like who's free is Mark Buckingham free can we use Mark Buckingham every since that short story so this was I get to do a full 22 pages of fantastic four and the man thinker with Mark Buckingham so right there
[SPEAKER_00]: And then on top of that, it's really rare, it's incredibly rare, that you get to play around in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the comics.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what we're doing, issue of the FF, you know, it's set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
[SPEAKER_00]: In the movie, first steps,
[SPEAKER_00]: they mentioned they name drop villains like when you have that Mark Gades character Teddy Gilbert, he's like name dropping all these adventures that you didn't see and he mentions like four guys and so marbles going to do these one shots each while doing the four guys in the prequel and they let me do mad thinker so I was like
[SPEAKER_00]: And be like one of the first guys out of the game.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I don't, sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe you're going to ask the same thing, Justin.
[SPEAKER_02]: But the red ghost, we know, got cut out of the movie.
[SPEAKER_02]: That was John Malkovich.
[SPEAKER_02]: So when he shows up, you're like, oh, that's John Malkovich.
[SPEAKER_02]: Man thinker, definitely.
[SPEAKER_02]: I keep away for that movie.
[SPEAKER_02]: Be like, do they cast somebody's mad thing here?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, cut it out.
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
[SPEAKER_00]: Mark Buckham gets to draw a man thinker.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we get to create.
[SPEAKER_00]: a Marvel Cinematic Universe Mad Thinker.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, did you cast the Mad Thinker that?
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I had guys in my head that I thought it could be, but I didn't want to step on Bucky.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, um, he has a very, he looks kind of like he did in the original Kirby, uh, first appearances, but with a slight, you know, upgrade for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: But like, I got to go on set.
[SPEAKER_00]: with like 12 other marble guys.
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to run around and see stuff when they were filming.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I got to like look in the fantastic car.
[SPEAKER_00]: I got there's one point where on the tour.
[SPEAKER_00]: I pulled
[SPEAKER_00]: a grandpa Charlie and a grandpa whatever his name is, and we, you know, it's Grandpa Joe.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I snuck off and stole some fizzy lifting drinks when they were looking at us.
[SPEAKER_00]: They were showing us this giant area, like sizable like a, you know, like,
[SPEAKER_00]: a hanger for an airplane which was all the costumes because it also had all the costumes for all the people on the street.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they had that retro 60s look.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, just costumes as far as you can see and all these people working on them.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they were showing us all this stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I saw on the corner, I'm like, oh my god, that guy's working on Galactus's boots.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was just like, right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, let's go access his boots and he's like, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you get in them?
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you walk in them?
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, but he showed me Galactus's costume.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I got to see it all the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's way ahead of time.
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you're standing back from it, it looks curvy.
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you go in close, it goes on Mobius.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, I think we got on purpose.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I got the coolest thing for me for the whole set.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we met Pedro Pascal and we met Vanessa Curby.
[SPEAKER_00]: After that, we got to hang out with herbie.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it takes like four guys to operate them.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you just ignore them.
[SPEAKER_00]: You like my gift course.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, you don't exist.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're like, it's crazy how fast it happens when you're watching puppeteers, though.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like it's like, oh, I'm talking to this thing now.
[SPEAKER_04]: This real life person.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it totally.
[SPEAKER_00]: And everything about Herbie was practical.
[SPEAKER_00]: You could hand them something.
[SPEAKER_00]: You would grab it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You would use it for our own.
[SPEAKER_00]: He would like talk to you and be from Boop.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would, oh, so like, yeah, I totally stuck a lot of Herbie away.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's very funny to me.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's so you to be starstruck by her be of everyone that you made and I sent you this last time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_04]: Fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: When we were there, like, uh, Brevoire and the Falco were kind of like,
[SPEAKER_00]: kind of being a little intimidated by the star-struck factor of Vanessa Kirby was there and I totally gasped them up.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, oh, Vanessa, this is the creator of Malice.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is, this is, oh, and that, you know, gets the Falco all happy.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, oh, this is Tom Brevort.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's edited fantastic for longer than any other editor in history.
[SPEAKER_00]: And, and, and, and, and, and
[SPEAKER_00]: there are things like a celebrity can do and then you just love them for life like Vanessa Kirby is so nice to me like and I was kind of like introducing her to people and she was walking away, she kind of looked at me in a week and blew me a kiss and I'm like, I will kill for her now.
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like her cartoon thick like a cartoon.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I like I'm actually curious more than Vanessa Kirby.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you get to meet Evan Moss backtrack because you fabulously Well, no, it's too bad.
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to watch them filming a thing and he was on the screen and we were in a different area
[SPEAKER_00]: I did get to he had practical thinghands and he could put over his hands and they had like these controls and he could do it and I got to like take a thinghand and make it like my hand and I it had things in it so you couldn't make gestures I was trying to flip off Brevort my couldn't find it wouldn't let me go into that mode but when we were on set
[SPEAKER_00]: At one point we're all in a golf cart and we got to be in there virtual retro 60s time square, which was amazing.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a backster building.
[SPEAKER_00]: We had different labs and areas, but at one point we're in the these golf carts and there's a long and our main Marvel guy goes, okay, I won't keep an eye on slot to keep them calm.
[SPEAKER_00]: And like, wow, look, hold him down.
[SPEAKER_00]: and at one point they're like, Dan, look behind you.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, what?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, it's Mr. Sheckerberg's, you know, his pawn shop, which was like a major location of my thing run that Carl Kiesel created.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it was like, it was like the heart of my thing run was in this shop.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like,
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you guys doing anything in this shop and they're like, no, it's just background.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like why's it here?
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're like, for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, that's so amazing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's great.
[SPEAKER_04]: And to get everything, the thing song, just cycling in your head that you famously sang on our show once.
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the whole works.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the, the, uh,
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I got to play in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Mark Buckingham, and it's now left.
[SPEAKER_00]: I got a lovely email today from Grant Curtis, the producer of the movie, who is like, Oh, it reads great.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, sending it off the foggy now.
[SPEAKER_02]: He saw ESA Hollywood producer from the 1940s, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that great?
[SPEAKER_04]: Why do I say God?
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, is he going to?
[SPEAKER_00]: Was also the producer on Spider-Man 2 with Doc Ock, that movie, and he has a cameo.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's the hot dog vendor.
[SPEAKER_00]: He keeps saying he's going to send me an autographed Spider-Man 2 and he's like, do you want it from the producer?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, no, I want it from the hot dog vendor.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, just talking about the comic book and obviously this is part of parts of the job.
[SPEAKER_02]: You've done this a million times.
[SPEAKER_02]: It'll be a different way.
[SPEAKER_02]: But when you're approaching something like this, you wrote a very long run on fantastic four.
[SPEAKER_02]: So how much of it is getting the voices that you had for the Marvel Comics version out of your head and getting the movie version in your
[SPEAKER_00]: Hi, I did that for everyone, but Ben Grimm.
[SPEAKER_00]: Screw you, Ben Grimm always sounds like a certain voice in my head, and it will always be.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it doesn't really sound like moss.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't sound like that at all.
[SPEAKER_00]: It sounds like my version of the thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I did try to get everyone else in that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I had the constantly had the movie running in the background over and over.
[SPEAKER_00]: and the Michael G. A. Kina score while I was right on that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Great score.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, you continue to walk through this date wise.
[SPEAKER_02]: The next up you're combining your two worlds with Spider-Man Superman number one, which is coming out in a second.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have a story with Marcos Martinez, uh, bringing together Spider-Man Newar and Golden Age Superman, is that correct?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, so what's it like getting that call or e-ball or do you march into the Marvel offices or like I have to be at this?
[SPEAKER_00]: I won't tell you.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, um, it one of the greatest disappointments to me in my career up until this was I didn't have a big enough profile for the last time they did the crossover
[SPEAKER_00]: I was still like running Stimpy guy.
[SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't even she helped guy yet.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I was up there and I so got the vibe.
[SPEAKER_00]: I understood what the assignment was and I I so wanted to work on one of these and I got to be like, you know, a fan them hand in the background helping on some things like they needed an extra villain for a spider boy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and I pitched them bizarnage, the flaky white symbiote.
[SPEAKER_00]: It says, me want to eat your brain and they used it.
[SPEAKER_00]: They, the Carl loved it and they, and he's on the cover, even.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, um, when they were doing the second round, I'm friends with high temple thin and he was doing instead of dark cloud, dark cloud ventures.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and he was like, I'm not having, I'm having a hard time messing that villains with Wolverine villains.
[SPEAKER_00]: Can he help me?
[SPEAKER_00]: And I threw him out of bunch and they all, and they even gave me like a little tip of the hat and the credits.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I gave him stuff like racial apocalypse, you know, so stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I was dying to work on one of these.
[SPEAKER_00]: And um, when they announced Batman Deadpool,
[SPEAKER_00]: The minute they announced that everyone flooded Marie and C.V. Z-mail is going, I want to work on this.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to work on this.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I sent them an email where I sees it both of them.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, you know, guys, you're missing the boat.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I'm not bugging you about Batman Deadpool.
[SPEAKER_00]: I swear to God, you're getting enough of that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm telling you, you need to do another one.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you need to do Spider-Man Superman because next year, we'll be the 50th anniversary.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and I get this email back from both of them that both kind of read the same going like gee Dan, we had no idea that he exactly like I'm just going to crop up and die Yeah, they had that plan from a get go and so I was like that's the one I want to be on that's I want to be in that book
[SPEAKER_00]: So they came to me and they said, okay, we want to have Superman family and Spider-Man family mash what do you got for us like you know the Superman and Spider-Man are going to be in the lead what do you have for the backup stories like what kind of things would you like to do?
[SPEAKER_00]: And I kept, you know, I grew up where the Jerry Connolly book was like one of my top three comics of all time as a kid.
[SPEAKER_00]: I read it to my Treasury Edition fall apart.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm friends with Jerry and there were times where like you just forget that that's the guy who did that.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was a Stanley Memorial on Broadway and I saw him talking to Marvel and DC people
[SPEAKER_00]: You wrote that book that's like when most important comics of my life, that was like Jerry, what was that like?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's so monumental like to sit down and write that.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he said, Dan, I was too young and too stupid to know how important it was.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's how he's able to write it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's just wonderful.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I won, I won this more than anything.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was pitching
[SPEAKER_00]: and the one rule was it couldn't be Superman and Spider-Man.
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's what I want it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're like, what about, what about, you know, Spider-Girl and Spider-Guan and Supergirl?
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, no, I was pitching them stuff like, okay, it's Nicholas Hammond Spider-Man in Christopher Reeves and they're like, no, no, it's a nightmare to get the likeness rights, but no.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, it's 67 Spider-Man and 68 Superman cartoon styles.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, no, no, everything I kept pitching them.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I, when I was able to pitch them was, they said, why don't you pick a spider from the spider verse?
[SPEAKER_00]: You have this spider verse guy.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I said, Spider-Man noir is based in the late 30s.
[SPEAKER_00]: He meets golden age Superman.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I ran up by Marcos Martinez and he was like, can it be fly sure Superman?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, for you anything.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like, and that got him in in this short story is like, it ticked off such a huge box for me in my life that it's it's awesome.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's it's been done for a while.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been done.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's letter and the coloring my months has enchanted.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just gorgeous.
[SPEAKER_00]: Whenever I wake up, if I'm having even a remotely bad day, I just open the file and reread that short story.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's the dopamine hit that gets me through the day.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just like, I am so happy with this.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know how like you'll be watching like a studio of Ghibli movie and they're like clicking bacon and you can smell it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I look at these pages and I
[SPEAKER_00]: I like the creative swings I feel like they're taking with these.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're talking about fraction and he's doing the
[SPEAKER_04]: Jimmy, you're a part in carnage, yeah, which I was like not what I expected.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's funny you say and they didn't want to do weird because I feel like they ended with a lot of like weird quote-unquote all weird ideas.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I like that there are so many people that I know that hit the fucking button
[SPEAKER_00]: That that you know chasing areas like screw you on to and I'm doing Jane Foster Thor and one-to-one and then Spider-in Spider-Man Superman.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be there too Get in there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, guys out.
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate the only downside of doing this is Everyone gets a turn So I'm hoping they do more because everyone who's gotten one bite of the apple We're not gonna get another bite again until everyone else is not a bite
[SPEAKER_00]: And now I've got I've got I'm Jones and for it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to do more crossover.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to do more like I want.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want my marvel and might you see.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you send Marie and CB another email being like, okay, I know I'm doing this one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's the next one.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pushing my luck because I sent CB and email.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to remember, like, where I can talk about.
[SPEAKER_00]: I sent him an email going, hey, I got an idea for these pitches, and I sent him like a couple.
[SPEAKER_00]: But they were like, this is so obvious you should be doing it, kind of books.
[SPEAKER_00]: And my problem is they bit on too many.
[SPEAKER_04]: Great, probably.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm doing Superman unlimited every month,
[SPEAKER_00]: And now I get to do one of the others, which is, you're doing a book called, you're doing, you have a big major movie coming out called Spider-Man Brand New Day.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why aren't you doing a Spider-Man Brand New Day book and then they're like, well, you just got yourself an assignment.
[SPEAKER_02]: you said literally the magic words and that you're doing so I do want to ask you about this this just for anybody who doesn't know spectacular spider-man brand new days coming out May 13th and you're doing with Marcus toe.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's backups with Marcus Martinez that correct?
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to have to wait and see.
[SPEAKER_00]: Where it Marcus Martinez has a, I am,
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to overuse Marcus Martine or he will be here, but he, he, he, he, he, he, he, I love really with Marcus.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Marcus is amazing.
[SPEAKER_00]: When people see the last page of our first issue, they're going to freak.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so happy with this, because what I pitched was when this this book is as if we were doing a spectacular spider-man book while we were doing amazing.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's what if you had the satellite book, what kind of stories would you do, what kind of things would you do, one of the things we haven't really do that well in brand new day.
[SPEAKER_00]: was because we were doing it three times a month and we had to have so many stories lying up on the tracks.
[SPEAKER_00]: We couldn't interact with other books and it gave us sometimes a feeling like we were separate from the Marvel Universe.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because they're like, oh, well, this new development happened with this character.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're like, that's, we were four months into the future man.
[SPEAKER_00]: We can't interact with that.
[SPEAKER_00]: By the time you do that, that character is dead or there is
[SPEAKER_00]: you know, by the time we get there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so it was really hard for us to plan with other Marvel books.
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, so I'm like, that's what we can do now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because now we know where all the characters are.
[SPEAKER_00]: And one of the main Marvel characters you get in this movie is the Punisher.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's those spoilers.
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, you're like, okay, let's do a Spider-Man Punisher adventure
[SPEAKER_00]: And let's do something where, because you know Marbles can put out more Spider-Man, Punisher, Projects, and Collections.
[SPEAKER_00]: What do we do to make ours really weird or something where you go?
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my, that's the coolest thing I've ever heard, what's the hook?
[SPEAKER_00]: What makes this this Spider-Man Punisher project you need to read?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you're going to like this.
[SPEAKER_02]: At any point, at any point, a Spider-Man tell Punisher you're one brand new day away from being me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, we actually have a couple of questions about this book.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to get to in the comments But first, I just want to mention that every week on the show We have a professional chef down in New Orleans named Brent Macris.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is at a restaurant bowl.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's shift that everybody should check out And he designs a cocktail for us based on the guest or a book we're talking about and this week He created Spider-Man 2 Dan Slod Buggaloo
[SPEAKER_02]: which is it's got gin lime juice ginger liqueur simple syrup black bitters club set a cayenne and lime wedge so you got gin for Peter's clean reset lime juice for that fresh start ginger for the chaos of his enemies black bitters from Mr.
[SPEAKER_02]: Negative and cayenne at the end for a little spider bite.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh I love the Mr.
[SPEAKER_02]: Negative Elements.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah that's right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, there you go.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a brand new cocktail for a new day.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's fantastic.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: What do we get to you some of the questions here in the comments?
[SPEAKER_02]: We got one that just popped up.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is from Chrissy Van MC, Daniel forever.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Goat Spider-Man writer as far as I'm concerned, happy to have you and Marko Spock.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, and actually there was a question here that was another one.
[SPEAKER_02]: From the same person, can we expect to see brand new day cast members like Carly Cooper in the new spectacular series also how many issues will mark Marko's be drawing shorts in markos will be in all five right now We're set for five, but it's an ongoing book.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's marble.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know that everything gets set for five
[SPEAKER_00]: If we get past our first arc, we will jump, there is an element in this story that will have an effect on present day, Spider-Man.
[SPEAKER_00]: This story matters.
[SPEAKER_00]: It has an effect on something in the present.
[SPEAKER_00]: If we get past the first five issues, the next arc will be present day, Spider-Man.
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, this is, we will drop the brand new date title and just call the book Spectacular Spider-Man and you will have a Spectacular Spider-Man monthly book that will be a satellite to the amazing book.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're about to back yourself back into the mainline Spider-Man.
[SPEAKER_00]: I, you bastard!
[SPEAKER_00]: You done it again!
[SPEAKER_00]: I have every single metric, every single like goal I wanted to hit.
[SPEAKER_00]: in Spider-Man.
[SPEAKER_00]: So now it's really the zone of I just want to write Spider-Man for the rest of my life.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've used my favorite character of all time and I would be happy as a clam just writing Spider-Man forever.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's there's no, oh if I hit this many I'll be the guy who wrote the most of that or there's no benchmark anymore.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're gone.
[SPEAKER_00]: what let me ask you about that then did I feel like you've you've done it like you said for so long yeah do they just sort of flow out of you like are you just is there a party of brain that's always spinning spidey a little bit the people said like would you ever go back to amazing and I'm like hell no I never want to go back to that Lucy and Athalon the chocolate factory where you're doing like two a month yeah or three a month
[SPEAKER_00]: Just one a month, one a month is fine and that would make me happy.
[SPEAKER_00]: I kind of get bummed when You know, they bring back marked them at us.
[SPEAKER_00]: They bring back guys and go mark.
[SPEAKER_00]: We want you to do a Craven story And you know, like you got to think of your mark.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, can I do the lizard?
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I know I'm famous for this and like with me I was doing the whole when we did adjectiveless spider-man the reason we did that book It was gonna be spider-man and
[SPEAKER_00]: and it was going to always tie into whatever movie was coming up.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the original premise of that book.
[SPEAKER_00]: And since Spider-Verse was the movie coming out then, we were going to do a Spider-Man Spider-Verse story.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then like the next thing we're going to do is going to be like Spider-Man and Ant-Man and the Laws.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, for Kronomania.
[SPEAKER_00]: And what we did in expect Spider-Boy to hit it so big.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they went, do Spider-Boy, to give us more Spider-Boy, forget Ant-Man in the lobby, just keep going, just keep going.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we came up to the 10th anniversary of Superior, and they're like, will you do another, please do another Superior story?
[SPEAKER_00]: And I felt like, like, marked him out as being asked to do Craven, you know, like, I've done Superior.
[SPEAKER_00]: So when you read those eight issues of Spider-Man Superior, volume three,
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, they're really like buckets.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're all like, we're going to tell every story possible without putting his brain in.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to, we're going to do a story where Doc OX brain goes into everyone in New York, but Spider-Man.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I, I, I so didn't want to do superior again.
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanted to have some Twitter angle on it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so like, yeah, one issue with that is,
[SPEAKER_00]: You see her now, Spider-Man's pretending to be superior in Doc OX and his ear, like we came up with every way to circumvent the actual premise.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the book went away.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, oh, man, because I could only really kind of do one a month.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Spider-Boy was like a juggernaut.
[SPEAKER_00]: That book, you know, in a day and age, where books stop at 5, 10, 12, Spider-Boy went on to planning.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we would have kept doing it if DC didn't knock on my door going, you want to do Superman.
[SPEAKER_00]: So like, I was on the like, and I was having a blast doing, uh, it's better going to help me, you know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I do have a long-key question about issue numbers for you because you brought it up and you're doing five issues for spectaculate or explain them and brand new day.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's changed relatively recently.
[SPEAKER_02]: It used to be like six issues was the standard.
[SPEAKER_02]: As a writer, how do you feel about that reduction of space?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm treating when you read the spectacular Spider-Man Brandy Day.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not a five-issue story.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a four-issue story and a done-in-one.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll have that just because the work I'm doing on on Superman and Limited, it's so much fun just to do like a done-in-one and do a two-parter and do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like even when we were doing our reign of the super-boy issues,
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, they are lots of adventures.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you will get like the Beppo adventure.
[SPEAKER_00]: You'll get this adventure.
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, so you still get those, you know, full unit of entertainment every time you pick up a comma.
[SPEAKER_00]: When I was a kid, I would, if I had like my four or five comics, I always bought every month, like my regulars.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I would have enough pocket change to get like another comic.
[SPEAKER_00]: and I would always open it up and go to the last page and see if it said to be continued.
[SPEAKER_00]: And if it did, I put it back in.
[SPEAKER_00]: I would not have read my comic.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, but if it, unless it's one of my regular guys, like Spider-Man or the thing or Batman or Superman, then I'll try the chocolate factory of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'll suck up, I'll suck up but to be continued for them.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, it feels like a lot of writers want to make a dent in the canon and I feel like you've done that not only once, but multiple times, like why do you think you've been able to hit canon so many times?
[SPEAKER_00]: But at the same time, I'm also, you know, fans get mad at me because I'm also the guy who puts the toys back in the box.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, but I don't like that everyone has to do that.
[SPEAKER_04]: You call I have the toys for so long.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't you don't have to.
[SPEAKER_00]: I I think it's a courtesy to the next guy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like someone's going to do it for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess if you don't.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's another good point.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why the silver surfer run I did with Mike.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why we made damn sure to show the entire life of Don Greenwood.
[SPEAKER_00]: and then end it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because we just knew the next person would go, oh, Don Green would mean nothing to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd love a shot of all.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that would be like, hmm, so you tell her a whole story and you put a bow on it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's over there.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then now that you go and tell your shot of all story, it's fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: I did want to bring up real quick from the comments Lucas Myers says hi guys.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hi Dan I just sent you some layouts.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ha ha ha ha ha.
[SPEAKER_02]: So there you go.
[SPEAKER_02]: Break a dude.
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't there's I gave him the most insane.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh thing to do in Superman and Limited 12 And I You don't know when you see it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, well, we get a good sense.
[SPEAKER_04]: You got it.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're about to see it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you look so now
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and Lucas, Lucas just kills on it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm he is Lucas never leave me.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll work with Lucas Meyer.
[SPEAKER_02]: We got another question here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ooh, there's a big one.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'll pull it out in a second, but from superior comment.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I have two questions.
[SPEAKER_02]: One, how do you approach Marvel with your Pritches like with the Spectacular book, and two has Mr. Slot read Spider-Man Octo Girl.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is a fantastic sequel to Slot and Gage.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have read the forward to October all, which was a lovely, you know, thank you to everyone like me and Chris and everyone to work on superior.
[SPEAKER_00]: I, that just seems like a dangerous book.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Dr. Oct, it's a Japanese manga where in canon, where Dr. Octopus puts his brain into the
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm like, I remember reading saga, like a hard cover of saga in Madison Park on a lunch break.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was just reading it and then I flip a page and there's a thing with a giant with these giant testicles hanging out.
[SPEAKER_00]: And a woman walked by and saw what I was reading.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a comic, it's all art.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not yet yet yet.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like, I can't read saga outside.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's something, so I'm not going near Doc Outbooks is brain into a Japanese school girl.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure it's awesome, but I'm not going to hear that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, you know, when I die in this apartment, they find copies of that.
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
[SPEAKER_00]: Only, only copies of that.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[SPEAKER_00]: But the first part, how do you do pitches to Marvel?
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a really good question, because like I was in a situation where I was in a place where I was, I have a bunch of chips of Darcy, then he asked me what I'm doing, and I told him about Spider-Man brand new day way ahead of time, and the other, one of the other mystery projects from that, those four pitches I sent to CB, and there's an ethos at Marvel
[SPEAKER_00]: that the editors come up with projects and then they
[SPEAKER_00]: they find the talent that would work best for the thing the editor wants to do, like death of the silver surfer, you know, like the office came up with that and then they went looking for who's got a good take on this and so it's really weird that like I wrote these pitches and you see like, yeah, Zedarsky was looking at me like, wait, you pitched to say, how did you do that?
[SPEAKER_00]: That is not done.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the entries, there are projects I've always wanted to do, like I've got
[SPEAKER_00]: there's great like five-issue Daredevil mini in me that is just it's like it's uh it you can make this an action film it would be awesome but I know I can't pitch a tomorrow and I'm I'm Dan Slot he's written like you know you've done the work yeah and I can't pitch that tomorrow because they don't have a need for it
[SPEAKER_00]: What I, I went to CV and one of the, see, I can tell you one of the three four pitches I made in that pitch was you should do a book called Spider-Man Brandy Day because the movie is coming out and here's how you do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he looked at that one, I can't say no to this.
[SPEAKER_00]: You need to know what Marvel needs.
[SPEAKER_00]: You could have the best, how are the duck pitch in the world?
[SPEAKER_00]: You could have the best, you could look at a character that you go like, oh, Shamrock.
[SPEAKER_00]: No one's anything with Shamrock.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it could be brilliant.
[SPEAKER_00]: It could be the dark night returns of Shamrock.
[SPEAKER_00]: It could make everyone who reads it cry and go, that was the most beautiful story I've ever read.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, water wasn't needed.
[SPEAKER_00]: You need to see the hole in that they haven't seen yet.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, but you can't.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you need to look at their publishing schedule and know what they need.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, and why and then deliver that thing that fills their need.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how you do a good pitch for marble.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the answer is you really can't.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's, it's, it's, it's near impossible, you know, and you just go, because it, you're going, you're going to get the assignment from an editor as opposed to you going to an editor.
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is like a bizarre anomaly.
[SPEAKER_02]: We got another question here, this from Alpha Ari, 10 so many of us are so excited to see what you and Lucas are cooking for John Kent, do you have any tiny teasers to hold us over
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, no other than Paul Cuminski the editor when we sent 11 to the press went, this is your best issue of unlimited so far, then it's all John Camp.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a pretty good tease right there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's all John Camp and you'll have to wait and see.
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... this is obviously a lot of stuff that you are doing right now and it sounds like you've got at least one project out the road is there anything else you want to tease or talk about or people should be checked out i'm i'm living my best life i'm getting to do uh... superman spiderman spiderman and superman and that you know i'm looking at and fantastic for one more one more trip on fantastic for
[SPEAKER_00]: I look at that line up and I go, I couldn't design something better for me.
[SPEAKER_04]: It is great.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, truly it does feel like you rub the monkey's paw, found the genie here.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is squishy hulk into one of those books and you feel like you've done.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a, it's weird, it's like, and then there's like a mystery project in the future, and that's another project that takes a big box in my wish list that yeah, I'm in the fucking zone and I'm only pitching stuff I want to do, I'm only working on stuff I want to do, and that it's just such a blessed place to be, I'm very grateful to Paul for me in skin, very grateful to Nick low in CB and Marie and
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, yeah, I can't wait for you guys to see all of it and stuff like the Spider-Man North Superman of all with Marcus Partine and Munseh.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have one last push here for you to read Octo-Girl.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is from Superior Company, Octo-Girl.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is from Superior Company.
[SPEAKER_02]: Octo-Girl, I'm just going to read this.
[SPEAKER_02]: Octo-Girl is not naughty.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's more like Doc Ocasin adopted daughter at a weight on the well.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just try the first three chapters on this.
[SPEAKER_02]: It won't disappoint.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a sting operation, but I just want to know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, hey, Dan, here's all your issues of Octo-Girl, thank you Chris Hanson.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll tell you what, I will say a superior combat.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have convinced me for sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, Lucas Bire says I will never leave you dad.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_02]: I should be working with you man.
[SPEAKER_02]: Lucas, check out Octo Girl, please.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: But along those lines, thank you so much, Dan.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just so much fun to read you work.
[SPEAKER_00]: you're fun jumps off the page and you're killing it it's we've had so much fun with you over the years so thank you so much for what you bring it is just a real pleasure you're this yeah so like you're like what can you pitch what can you push it's honestly right now spectacular because it we're very much in the field of dreams zone right now it's very much if you build a they will come if you guys support the book we'll keep doing it and we've got ideas and we've got
[SPEAKER_00]: It would be really nice to do that if we can just get to issue 8.
[SPEAKER_00]: We can just get over the hill and to issue 8.
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be December shipping of 2026.
[SPEAKER_00]: It would be the 50th anniversary of Spectacular Spider-Man.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we would do something really, really big that will freak you out.
[SPEAKER_00]: The we're going to do stuff like in what we've got.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to do stuff that made Spectacular work.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this was a book.
[SPEAKER_00]: that was a created characters like Cloak and Dog Dagger, who was the home to the white tiger, a created villains like Sineater and the Spot and Caryan.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a rich legacy here and we're going to honor that in Spectacular Brand New Day.
[SPEAKER_00]: We are going to introduce within the first five
[SPEAKER_00]: And that year, we'll go on into modern days Spider-Man.
[SPEAKER_00]: We are going to introduce a new spider villain.
[SPEAKER_00]: And when I've told people to hook for this road, they're like, oh, that's, that's really good.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're a road that will immediately make
[SPEAKER_00]: all these spider roads incredibly pissed at them.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they will have no purchase in this spider-man universe.
[SPEAKER_00]: The villains will hate them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Spidey will hate them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone will just hate them.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's a great spot for a villain.
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you see the hook, it is so Toyotaic that Hasbro will fricking, they'll just be all over me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Call of Dan fuck it slot.
[SPEAKER_00]: We have a project with it.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, dude, you have no idea they got the guys on Marta legends and the Hasbro.
[SPEAKER_00]: They you look at my run and it's like how many years ago was it?
[SPEAKER_00]: They keep doing toys from my run because like we were at like some summit and I mentioned an idea in Joker's out of back when he was CCo.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was like, you write the most Toyota things.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're so Toyota.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, yeah, I want the toys, man.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a huge selling point for Spectacular Spider-Man to know that if it goes through you be back on a regular Spider-Man title, that's for anyone who loves your work that you need to get that out.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're getting it out now.
[SPEAKER_00]: You guys have to know.
[SPEAKER_00]: I will do this for as long as I'm alive and you're buying the book.
[SPEAKER_00]: I will.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, because you're like, aren't you done?

[SPEAKER_02]: uh... we got a question for you peat this is from a curge gents and can we get some hard comic recommendations from peat specifically not me not you just in from peat that's a crazy question because peat is terrified of why i assume that's the joke it i beat i have curious is there any harry you like that you feel like this is good and i like reading this as you are and i'm going to be short short
[SPEAKER_02]: Good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I give me a second one though.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to I want a second one because I do lock and key was Kevin.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_01]: I the problem is I don't like reading horror comics Ever once while we find ourselves Having to read one or sneakily reading one What was the one that was
[SPEAKER_01]: It was the most black and white and it was like a sleep.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, sleep is good No, it's like she's it was that black and white not black and white and red.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just like mostly like kind of black panels with little spots of white And it's kind of like this radio Oh, do this for the fallout.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's good.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, do you like hide street and that's like yeah, hide street.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's good.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but that's more like
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it kind of tails, you know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh no, just in, uh, froze.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the horror comics.
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was a dramatic pause.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was really, it's a very, it's acting chops, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like more like, oh, he's back.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's back.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, that was crazy.
[SPEAKER_04]: What happened?
[SPEAKER_04]: I was saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: The man, the man, doesn't want you to talk about horror comics.
[SPEAKER_02]: They ask specifically for Pete and you started going, it shut you down.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, like, let Pete talk, says the internet.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh ice cream man says drable it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's a great one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Good one.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've got a couple of other questions here.
[SPEAKER_02]: This from Shoei Claire.
[SPEAKER_02]: What are examples of things you really wanted to do at some point that got short?
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, what is this a reference to?
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I'm nuts and now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is, I, I, what I like about short of these questions is they're always like a puzzle.
[SPEAKER_02]: I need to think back to what's happened over the past couple of days because they always like some deep cut reference.
[SPEAKER_02]: These are riddleers, these are riddleers.
[SPEAKER_02]: These are riddleers.
[SPEAKER_04]: We just got choice and I love it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, I mean, any sort of creative project that was going well.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, he's frozen again.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, to the point of the show, like we probably could have done the next new networks, news of Ramah thing forever.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like it was a lot of fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing, nothing against the three of us or any of the amazing people who support us, but having that level of resources or they're like, great.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll fly you out and put you up at a Comic Con and have a full camera crew and audio crew and everything and we'll take care of all that stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: That was cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: That was.
[SPEAKER_02]: I wouldn't mind having that again.
[SPEAKER_02]: That was very nice.
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, but that got cut short, but we maintained.
[SPEAKER_02]: We are.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we have persisted.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've outlasted news and Robo pretty much.
[SPEAKER_02]: So there you go.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, strong.
[SPEAKER_04]: We've lasted a lot of institutions.
[SPEAKER_04]: America.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Turk made our just finished the main German love did.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know it was well received critically.
[SPEAKER_02]: What are the chances we get a second?
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, great question.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, we don't know how obviously have an answer for you there, but I would say probably pretty low I'm a sort of confused Alex maybe you can see some more puzzle pieces that I haven't looked at but like it's very unclear what Marvel's doing in the TV's almost nothing really but they still have runway I think I'm surprised how empty the space is from
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I feel like we...
[SPEAKER_02]: There's probably a lot going beyond the scenes in terms of development because they're always developing multiple shows, but to the point that you're making Justin, here's what we got coming up and I'm gonna skip a couple of things, I'm sure, but we have Daredevil Board again season two.
[SPEAKER_02]: We know that there's a success.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's a win.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're doing a season three.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's great.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they're looking at that.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like this is our bottle for actually doing a yearly TV show They've got friendly neighborhood spider-man, which is an amazing put their aiming to do every year Expend 97 is coming back this year and they're aiming to do that every year But in terms of the live action stuff other than Daredevil, they've got vision quest and that
[SPEAKER_02]: even though they've said hey we've pivoted to more of this like doing a pilot do it a yearly schedule vision quest is clear like it's a third with one division agatha all along yeah that's a hangover piece of exactly so
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it would almost be in their best interest if they really do want to be like, yeah, we're moving forward with actual TV production to green light a second season of Wonderman, a show, everybody, really liked.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how well it did, but I can't imagine it was, like, as exponentially expensive as, like, secret invasion, which I think was $250 million or something like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: So,
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, I have the, the hold up there would probably be, which is a reasonable hold up that like Destined Daniel Cretan and Andrew Gast probably want to make sure creatively they have the right idea before they move forward versus What you kind of got to do with TV production, which is like we're picking up a second season give us the pitch And then you kind of are like you're on this cart rolling down the hill with no, yeah, with no brakes
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, the crazy thing though is, and this is just my speculation, but it feels like Marvel's sort of holding its breath because of the movie, because of Doom's Day and what's gonna happen there, because they know what doesn't work is, let's take a smaller tier character, make them the star, we thought that was gonna work before, and then it stopped working pretty quickly.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think they're like, what is the model now when that doesn't work and they don't know who the real stars are tomorrow because they're only bringing back and spending a lot of money on the stars from the past?
[SPEAKER_02]: Here is, I mean to pivot off of what you're saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the absolute craziest possibility they could happen is we know a dear devil port again season two, Chris and Ritter is coming back at Jessica Jones.
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's a backdoor way for them to be like, let's do Jessica Jones again.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then they put in that cage and then Jessica Jones and they're like, let's do Luke and they just keep going.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like the during another posture, sure, special as well.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it does sort of, even though I like all of those actors, I'm kind of like, have you given up?
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you like, going to the floor, just lying on the floor every day and doing the box breathing?
[SPEAKER_01]: It does, why we don't, they just don't do Tom Holland's Spider-Man movies.
[SPEAKER_01]: Can you crank them out?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's easy.
[SPEAKER_04]: That yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, they are, but you know, it's hard to get Tom Holland.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm mentioning Zendaya, the biggest star in the world.
[SPEAKER_04]: So like, they can't keep doing that.
[SPEAKER_04]: But I think they're good.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, of course.
[SPEAKER_04]: But like, who's the star?
[SPEAKER_04]: What that cuts the successful model if I were them?
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be cracking a version of like Loki where you can get a bigger star to come in and do a show and not do nine other things and make that really good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and like you're saying, it's also a very different place now than when they started the MC, like at the beginning of the MC, it was like, well, you got Tom Hiddleston to do six episodes of TV show.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, Tom Hiddleston is like, yeah, I did the second season of the night manager 10 years later, and that was however many episodes.
[SPEAKER_02]: People do TV to co-kit it is on TV constantly.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, people, that's the same.
[SPEAKER_04]: These people do TV.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not to mention her very moving movie ads.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, of course of course do a series based on that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I guess is what I'm saying one last thing on it I feel like right now there's a lot of successful TV that's that's crushing and it's a little bit different like the three shows I'm obsessed with right now all on HBO weirdly the pit industry and neither the seven kings Which is ended and they're all big swing things that are just executed like Excellently
[SPEAKER_04]: And Marvel can just be like, oh, what if we just got a little bit riskier with our take and did something that was just a bit of a swing like game of thrones.
[SPEAKER_04]: The dragon show is is struggling a little bit creatively, I think and everyone is talking has been talking about that house of the dragon.
[SPEAKER_04]: When the 1970s was snuck in here and delivered the best game of thrones thing in years.
[SPEAKER_04]: And so like Marvel can do that.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can come out of a bad period with you have to do it with creativity though and not.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and people that's exactly what people have called out about Wonderman is that it's like, oh, this is different positively.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like different.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope that emboldens them in some way rather than like,
[SPEAKER_02]: Great falling back into the bad habits, but I guess we'll see and it's such a good point.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was like make creative swing And I was like, oh, Wonderman was that and we all love it To give back to the question from Derek, do second season
[SPEAKER_02]: I just wanted to bring up Amber Loves, comments, my harr picks, exorcist island, exorcism at 1600.
[SPEAKER_02]: Penn, one shot thanksgiving and mommy blog.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was also a 30 days of night jump on point coming up.
[SPEAKER_02]: All great calls.
[SPEAKER_04]: The one shots Thanksgiving and mommy blog were so good.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I feel like it's hard to get a little one shot gets some air.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I would definitely hype those two specifically up.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And folks, that isn't for your audience questions.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, we are going to move on with our next section, which is another section that we do, which is trivia with Pete LePenny.

[SPEAKER_01]: Somehow that is the numbering thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: That makes sense.
[SPEAKER_04]: Just a title alone sounds great.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sounds great.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sounds great.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a meal.
[SPEAKER_01]: You had me at the first verses and I'm along for the other two.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they had me at Justice, which is close to Justin.
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow, Pete leading out at the Punisher number one from his recommendation interest handling choice I you know what just an I think I know what one you're gonna say
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, do you?
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think you do.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think I know that you think that you know what I'm going to say But I'm a wild card because I'm excited by fresh ideas and new comics That's why I'm excited about the comic that is called the mortal Thor number seven I feel like this comic by alewing has been I was like the hammers on a bungee cord
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what we hear.
[SPEAKER_04]: I can't get I don't find my boat with that and it's really grown on me over the six issues I'm very excited for the next one.

[SPEAKER_04]: uh... yes uh... i am excited about that uh... be cut but here's the thing i didn't say that because we have already read that because we interviewed Chris and Jacob Alex and i did a long time ago there you were there too all three of us didn't nice yeah that's a very good kind of what it's your ascent was it about their wall he said they were doing great work
[SPEAKER_04]: No, that is a great comic.
[SPEAKER_04]: I thought you were to set me up for another one.
[SPEAKER_04]: Have you ever not recommended absolute one-to-one Pete just a side question for you?
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, pair of the breweries is excellent.
[SPEAKER_04]: And we can say definitely pick it up.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's these are people I've loved from their very first comic book word in that Texas blood.
[SPEAKER_04]: but this is I think their best single issue just like super clean setting up the characters and the world and the art that Jacob Phillips doing is different stylistically and killing you.
[SPEAKER_01]: All I got to say though to respond to you Justin is I haven't been wrong, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you for clarifying that couple of other things that I'm looking forward to.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm looking forward to the power fantasy number 60 in this series of the great But 15 left out a crazy cliffhanger and they've promised wait and see what happens in this next issue.

[SPEAKER_02]: Also predator bloodshed number one from a friend Jordan Morris is coveted out excited to see what he does with that
[SPEAKER_02]: Predator versus MFA fighters, so that should be a lot of fun.
