[SPEAKER_03]: What is that everybody welcome to the stack on Alex.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm Justin.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm Pete and on the stack we talk about a bunch of books that have come out this week in a boy We got a big old stack for you today, so let's get into it with a move from young man That's the way we do Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, clubbing is what people call it now.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I call it the disco tech, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, cat weight to go.
[SPEAKER_03]: Discoing with all my best pals.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like amazing spider-man and then I'm death spiral number one for Marvel, right by Joe Kelly, Al-Uing, and Charles Sol, Art by Hesu Seize.
[SPEAKER_03]: this kick off to a nine part story line that's going to be running through amazing spider man and venom that introduces a new super powered serial killer called torment we don't find a lot about them until the end of this issue when we find out and I should mention spoiler warning for all of the books that we're going to be talking about in the stack here today but we find out he is slowly killing off members of Peter Parker and Eddie Brock's family who is he doing it for why we'll find out as the story line goes on.
[SPEAKER_03]: We also catch up with the status quo of Venom, who is currently married Jean, Spider-Man, who is currently Peter Parker, not always given.
[SPEAKER_03]: Not only in Carnot and not lately, really, not lately, and Carnage, who is Eddie Brock, so everybody's doing a little bit of the old mix of mobs, find out about their status quo as we get into this big event.
[SPEAKER_03]: Would you think about the kickoff here?
[SPEAKER_03]: Fellows?
[SPEAKER_02]: Goop, Mary Jane, Mary Jane dating other people that are before we're coming on.
[SPEAKER_04]: You were talking about how much you love spirals.
[SPEAKER_04]: So take it away, Pete.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, it's, uh, I'm not saying you love Google.
[SPEAKER_01]: He said he love Google.
[SPEAKER_01]: I do love Google.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we tried the new ranch flavor.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I love the pizza on, like, we're like, Pete, do you want to read this comic?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm sick of that kind of daily comics.
[SPEAKER_02]: New Google flavor.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, yes, please.
[SPEAKER_02]: I will be your expert.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, first off, crazy Google is what Pete's having right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh boy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, crazy cover.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it sets up a good kind of tone because this is darker than the normal kind of spider-man comic.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's just this impending doom that's kind of circling.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the part that pissed me off the most, well, first off, I thought it was like they
[SPEAKER_01]: Marvel probably presents and I was like you put a whole page into that.
[SPEAKER_01]: It just says You know, so I was like, oh, it seems a little cocky.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_02]: So that threw me off a little bit I always say I'm proudly present to proud to present my friend P. N. Alex For the first time anywhere just a lot of comic speed.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is not it was a whole page.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like that's Thank you.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is a whole page.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes look at T.C.
[SPEAKER_03]: K. Oh, they're doing the same thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, anyways
[SPEAKER_01]: all that to be said and we're some little hard-pushy zombies what you are is real hard-pushy I'm Jay left of a message and you just deleted like it meant nothing to him I knew I would you know I was in that I was like Pete's gonna be pissy deleting all these you can't delete a message your man may you have to say why do you have to like these bugs bunny throw it up pitch
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he didn't feel like Spider-Man to me because it was very cold of him just to be fucking deleting these messages like them and nothing to him So that really threw me off.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you think do you think what he was deleting all the messages?
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you think he should have said buddy did like home star runner that would have been like a fun current reference?
[SPEAKER_02]: You didn't expect that.
[SPEAKER_02]: You or anyone to say that ever again.
[SPEAKER_02]: And here we are.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's very funny to me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you save all of your messages?
[SPEAKER_01]: That's, I have some safe messages.
[SPEAKER_02]: How many do you have from Alex?
[SPEAKER_02]: Say it.
[SPEAKER_01]: How many do you have from Eddie Brock?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Zero.
[SPEAKER_03]: I really like this.
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought this was a great kick off to this event.
[SPEAKER_03]: My dogs and barking is in my eyes.
[SPEAKER_03]: say about this book.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've been really a joy expiter man.
[SPEAKER_03]: I really enjoy the Eddie Brock Carnage and I enjoy Venom running with Al-Yu-ing and I think they're all in tip-top form here.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think like I was saying, this did a really good job of getting you caught up with the continuity while still being a fun book on its own right.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's all fun, weird, quirky status quotes.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's also a good amount of emotion going on here, particularly with the sweet MJ and flash Thompson seed, as well as all the stuff going on with Peter Parker, and at May, I thought was great as well, and there's a lot of danger for all of these characters.
[SPEAKER_03]: Torreman seems like a bad guy.
[SPEAKER_03]: I sure hope he doesn't have a symbiote because I'm sick of that, but he probably does.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it definitely is a symbiote.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I guess you're saying because he's texting with carnage.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You think they're texting?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mexting for murder testing as what I so when it was 16 like S.Y.
[SPEAKER_03]: X Like a champion.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: So Alex thought the darkness was fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought the darkness was was a lot and didn't feel like Peter Parker Jesus was No, I I really enjoyed this.
[SPEAKER_02]: I I feel like
[SPEAKER_02]: This book really owns the sort of strangeness of the status quo of these characters in a way that I feel like I haven't seen, especially when you're sort of setting the table for this event to be like, yeah, Mary Jane used to date Peter Parker, dated Paul, now they're living together, but now she's sort of flirting with flash and a way that I was like, oh okay, like they were able to sort of own the wild continuity for all these characters that used to be just,
[SPEAKER_02]: This is like season nine of friends where you're like, wait, who's doing what now?
[SPEAKER_02]: And why are you doing that?
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't, none of you make sense.
[SPEAKER_02]: But owning that while still are selling the Rachel M.J. and Peter in this?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they've been married and divorced multiple times.
[SPEAKER_02]: They were on a break and pivot, I think, is what we're talking about.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, and I just want to say in terms of the way that they're putting this crossover together, I'm usually not a fan of the Alpha Omega issue.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think this is going to have like an omega issue.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it ends in,
[SPEAKER_03]: either Spider-Man or Venom, but I actually think it was really worth it here, because maybe you're reading Venom, but not Spider-Man, then you probably are, maybe you almost definitely didn't read Eddie Brock Cartage.
[SPEAKER_03]: So getting caught up while still moving those stories forward individually, I thought was really well done.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a good one, Chef.
[SPEAKER_02]: Definitely, while also having like a truly devastating subplot that has laid out like the mystery of it,
[SPEAKER_02]: is unspooled really well, that it is, we find out at the end that Carnage has been texting these secret details that it keeps finding out from Eddie about all these characters, and that's who was being killed randomly or people who are somehow named Brock or Parker or whatever,
[SPEAKER_02]: That's awesome, and it's brutal, and it's that sort of Casual murder that I think was Carnage's whole first thing was that wreckless serial killer that like was the scary part of Carnage And we're doing that again in this Such a sideways continuity way, but it really worked out though
[SPEAKER_03]: It is funny now that you bring it up that like that's how vet it was introduced as an evil spider band and they're like, oh, he's pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe he's an anti hero.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: And they're like, oh, no, now vet it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Is it add to here?
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess we have to come with a bad vet up here is cartage.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now cartages that add to hero and they're like, oh, I got a couple of an even worse kind of something.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, why do we have that carnage text a worse carnage.
[SPEAKER_03]: The death spiral is the quality of Marvel comics.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what he, the T.C.
[SPEAKER_03]: booster would say.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, take it easy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, prove it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because we're going to move on and talk about absolute wonder.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, the number 17 of D.C. comics.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, this book's feet to the fire, P.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, prove you're not a DC zombie in term that I just made up written by Kelly Thompson, art by Hayden Sherman, and I'm such a second part of the story Diana has being taken down by the new suicide squad, seemingly led by absolute Zetana, but Zetana nobs out pretty quickly in this issue.
[SPEAKER_03]: And most of it is a fight with Gigantau among other characters, Keith.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're pumping your fists like the true DC fan you are.
[SPEAKER_03]: Tell us why Marvel stinks and DC rules
[SPEAKER_01]: stop it yet first off look at this cover i mean cool cover alert this is awesome any details you want to offer up above covered one big one small character that one there we got one we got one big one small such
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's the classic cover one big one small.
[SPEAKER_03]: We've now discovered gigantic is reaching up and holding the absolute Wonder Woman logo.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, great.
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought you'd get with her arms.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, my question is, do you think she knows it's there?
[SPEAKER_03]: Or she just like, steady yourself on something and she looked up, she'd be like, what the fuck?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's definitely like, oh, the whole thing we're playing now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
[SPEAKER_02]: And grab her to hold from falling down.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: They could bar in the shower if you're like, oh, man.
[SPEAKER_02]: I personal over by shower exactly.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't even personal my shower I'm constantly pulling shit off the wall.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's the oldest thing you could have said right there Besides the reference to home star runner, but no one's did that
[SPEAKER_01]: crazy last panel.
[SPEAKER_01]: Love this comic amazing art, amazing battle sequences.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I just think this was, I mean, the match moment was really cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: They kept happening.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just this comic rocks.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's just it's so much fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of turned up to 11 in a lot of different ways.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, she kind of gets her powers back in this issue.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is awesome.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's a really, I'm gonna make a controversial statement.
[SPEAKER_02]: We like this comic.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: We are regular based.
[SPEAKER_02]: It continues to be great.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we're all enjoying it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's a one criticism.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we need to put a cap on the link of the Zetana spell.
[SPEAKER_03]: We can't do too.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a very long one.
[SPEAKER_03]: We can't do boring words backwards.
[SPEAKER_03]: We can't read that.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's all.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'll be honest.
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't read that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like the first I used.
[SPEAKER_03]: I challenge myself to read the shorter ones.
[SPEAKER_03]: The other ones I was like, this is a magic spell.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sound off in the comments.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you don't read all of Zetana's backwards spells, you hate comments.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I'll tell you what.
[SPEAKER_02]: I see one.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not talking about this book, but all Zetana appearances.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, oh, this backwards thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I guess I'll read it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it takes a minute.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it takes a little lecture to flip your brain.
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's how I feel every time I'm afraid of a fan.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, my problem is like, I don't know what order you need to read the words in, and it's sometimes is very inconsistent.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, sometimes it's like, the words are in the right order, but they are backwards and sometimes everything she says is backwards.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's tough.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's very tough.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think often the whole thing is like mirror image, and you just have to flip it.
[SPEAKER_03]: But it's not mirror image because the letters are the right way.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, but like I guess I mean in at the whole thing is how does your mirror work yeah my mirror has two faces
[SPEAKER_04]: No, another very current reference one.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think this is great as well.
[SPEAKER_03]: One of the things that we get big fights throughout this series, but this is just like a knock-down drag-out brawl, as one woman gets bigger to match, I get to size.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's fun.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like this title is heartfelt.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's sweet, it's big, it's powerful.
[SPEAKER_03]: But this also plays off like a goofy fun issue,
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's just a great pair with Hayden Sherman's art, they can draw anything.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's absolutely fantastic.
[SPEAKER_03]: Murder Jones number one promoting press written by Why Kennedy Art by Joy Be Young.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is based on the enormous hit success glitch production series, which is streaming on YouTube.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is adapted from that.
[SPEAKER_03]: And there's a lot of hype going into this.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll fully admit.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've never watched murder drones, so if you aren't too to get to this YouTube or listening on the podcast to be like, ooh, what are these murder drones experts think?
[SPEAKER_03]: We are not.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm curious to hear from that perspective, unless you are, what do you think of this?
[SPEAKER_02]: I was not a murder drone person, but this does have the energy of it's written with like extreme confidence The art is it's really fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: It moves quickly.
[SPEAKER_02]: It has that comedy energy like I was like, oh, this is a fully realized Universe and That learning about it like I was like, oh, make sense.
[SPEAKER_02]: It also is that but even so there's a lot of fully realized universes that when they are made into a comic
[SPEAKER_02]: it's doesn't quite work and I think this really did.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was surprised because when I heard the title, I thought, oh, this is going to be dark, you know, but I was surprised at the burger and the drones.
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't like either those things.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think combined in the kind of to me has a like, oh, shit, this is going to be fucked up.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's about drones murdering people all over place.
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... drones and then you know like uh... just takes one bad drone to murder and start murdering people so we know if i say you're one bad drone away uh... now he you live in the country so you probably don't have technology but like so this is the right path this is a drone to be like a bird bringing you something
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think it's like a bird a bird holding like a like a camera a gun a gun.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah a bird with a gun But that's gonna keep you it's gonna keep you up nice right people.
[SPEAKER_03]: How does it?
[SPEAKER_03]: How does it press the trigger with its wings?
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't do it with the wings.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, just get another bird to use it's a little bird in two birds the third bird to collect
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like I always say it takes two birds to fire gun.
[SPEAKER_03]: I like this as well.
[SPEAKER_03]: I particularly called out the art.
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought it was very slickly realized to good characters.
[SPEAKER_03]: You didn't really mention the plot, but it is about a world where I think all the humans died.
[SPEAKER_03]: And robots have been left behind.
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of the robots are...
[SPEAKER_03]: to take a wall is how I like to pitch it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's how I was going to pitch as well for sure.
[SPEAKER_03]: But good designs intriguing characters definitely made me curious to check out the animated series, which is probably a large part of the point of doing this, but as always, why Kennedy does what they're doing when it comes to the writing.
[SPEAKER_03]: So good kickoff.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's good stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's number 21 by Marvel.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I know Pete you're not going to like it written by Dennis Camp art by parapherase.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're tying into the ultimate endgame event in this issue.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're focusing on Luke Cage and his new Avengers.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're working to free North America from the maker and his minions standing in their way is not Roberto just Costa, but his father, who I believe is
[SPEAKER_03]: yeah absolutely i add he is leading a team of defenders to take down the new avengers in a extremely the boys way by manipulating media and spitting off movie rights and things like that things don't go quite in their direction by the end of the issue which you guys think about this
[SPEAKER_02]: I really enjoy this like the dentist camp like the the all-time.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm campin.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm beyond campin.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm glampin with my command camp That dentist camp like continues to take like you know, we're doing this.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a rebellion that there's a battle happening
[SPEAKER_02]: But adding on all these additional layers that we're getting these sort of x-force ecstatic style team that is usually treated as sort of a satire, but we're riding first person with the media darling team.
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is the villains.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I actually like, oh, this makes a lot more sense.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm now I'm definitely rooting for them to get smashed, which is them what we get to have happened here.
[SPEAKER_02]: At the same time, like, in the middle of this universe ending crossover, where Dennis can't take the time to really get Roberto de Costa's revenge on his father, and introducing these characters from, that we know from the main Marvel universe, but we haven't really encountered their ultimate versions much, but we're really taking the time to explore these relationships.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's just great in-depth writing that's happening in the midst of a pretty sick battle sequence.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, all the thing I wanted to add, I agree with all that is cool cover.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, you know, a lot of crazy over the top action, great art.
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't fuck with the Frost Queen, you know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I did that drone comment, really.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I'd like to say something nice about Marvel because he's all in a dizzy.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think this is better than Ultimate Endgame.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is giving me the charge I want from Ultimate Endgame, like the, yeah, fuck yeah, we're taking down the bad guys.
[SPEAKER_03]: Plus, as usual, this very specifically is reflecting the world outside our window and does cap
[SPEAKER_03]: They are going to take our tools and use them against us, like not to get too political here on the podcast, but look what the government says about Antifa, which is Antifascist.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're like, oh, they're in organization that is trying to take down the government.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, no, it's a philosophy that is anti-fascist, that's the whole point of it.
[SPEAKER_03]: But the fascists are using that language against people.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's what he's playing off of here.
[SPEAKER_03]: but at the same time giving us an absolutely brutal superhero issue throughout there is I don't know how this is not red dad to give it the stuff that goes on on the pages.
[SPEAKER_02]: Lots of hands cut off and this is gone.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is also one of the things that's kind of crazy about this is we meet all of these characters we haven't met in the ultimate universe yet, but they all have different costumes and names and you're like,
[SPEAKER_03]: Wait, no, that's Deadpool, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm not calling you.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's just, I hope that's awesome.
[SPEAKER_03]: The different color, that's cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I love to take the time to introduce them and make them different.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what gets a little spark on a random page in the middle of this comic.
[SPEAKER_02]: And these sparks all that up to make this comic really pop off in the same world where the main title is sort of like, I think not having as many of those pop-off moments, despite the fact that it's telling this big, super story at the same time.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, particularly when I've been generally well with a lot of the finale stuff going on with the ultimate universe, this rocks, so yeah great title.
[SPEAKER_03]: The peril of the brutal dark and as a keen mystery number one from DC Comics written by Chris Condon art by Jacob Phillips, this is another vertigo title should have mentioned vertigo.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it is a little more adventure.
[SPEAKER_03]: that has planned multiple volumes we talked to the team a couple of months back about the title you can go listen to it in the comic book club feed and check it out just in I know you're big fan of this team on this but I love these guys from all the way back to their first stuff with that Texas plot I was hoping this up on the live show as well.
[SPEAKER_02]: almost word for word is I took you for it took some product for you to hide this up well he's like you're like what are you looking forward to and then Alex like Justin what are you looking forward to he was like I know I know what are you uh magic what are you some sort of magic man?
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I just know what's in your wheelhouse, and this is your wheelhouse, you know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm unexpected, I'm a chaos, okay?
[SPEAKER_03]: You can't say, you can't say I know what you're going to choose to one of us, and that has to be like, yeah, sure I'll lead it to that, I'm going to fall into that trap.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, you.
[SPEAKER_02]: And actually, I did hype up a different book if you knew the before I got to this one, but I was going to hide this one, and I do like this, because I actually think this is, this is their, the book that I feel like,
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just the top of their game work here if you like
[SPEAKER_02]: Indiana Jones poll travels.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's noir elements here, but I say it was like Dick Tracy meets Indiana Jones.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there you go.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a that's a great call.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's some magic here and it's just like Dick Jones.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Dick Jones, guys.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're Jones in first and Dick.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a book for you is what Alex is saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's it's they, Jacob Phillips work is
[SPEAKER_02]: really excellent and it's different.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like to have an artist be able to change their style up and have it still be excellent on a title like this is awesome.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's such a great vertical part of the kickoff for the Vertigo launch.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean this is a
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really just fantastic.
[SPEAKER_01]: The combination of our and story telling is such an next level.
[SPEAKER_01]: And everybody loves little dick Jones.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's a tight package, you know, and I also love the back matter.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a, it's a, you're getting a lot for your buck here.
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess my only criticism is that it's not called a dick Jones mystery given the character is named Dick Jones, which is confusing, but,
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe we'll figure it out in the future.
[SPEAKER_03]: Universal monsters in the Phantom of the Opera ever won from Skybound and Image Comics written by Tyler Boss, art by Martin Simmons, as you probably tell.
[SPEAKER_03]: The title of this is the latest.
[SPEAKER_03]: Universal monsters spin off I chatted with the creative team the other day.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can also listen to that in the comic book book.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's my voice.
[SPEAKER_03]: Two balls and M-SIMIES.
[SPEAKER_03]: And this is not based on the musical that played once at the E-Coreous Pentagia Patagius.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's actually Gloriously restored Alex yeah, I don't come from the Hickville USA so Oh So central the operand Broadway the way it was meant to be seen aka bad.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, let me ask you Alex was the theater Gloriously restored that you thought yeah
[SPEAKER_03]: I actually, I don't know, I don't know that there was a very slow shandalier that was like, yes, but did you, let me ask you, did you buy phantom by phone and call the Pantages theater?
[SPEAKER_02]: I do.
[SPEAKER_04]: My parents bought the ticket.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, great.
[SPEAKER_02]: Very good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, let me say it just real quick.
[SPEAKER_02]: I live so far from Toronto and they will run in these ads like crazy and I'm saving you.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like am I blind at Toronto to see a fan of the opera they said I they said they thought a 10 year old like me should and here I am This is based on the Universal Monster movie not on the musical invalidating last five minutes of this podcast
[SPEAKER_03]: But this is still the same sort of story with Christine.
[SPEAKER_03]: She's trying to make her way in the opera.
[SPEAKER_03]: There is, as you might expect, a phantom somewhere under the opera.
[SPEAKER_03]: The thing that I really liked about this is that it leaned into Martin Simmons' art style.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: By allowing for the first time in any iteration, I've seen the phantom to almost be a phantom.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like there is actually potentially something supernatural going on here, and that's cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I really love the art style, especially the singing panels.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just such a expressive, artistic way to kind of show that.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just really, really impressive.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I love the ending.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was very exciting.
[SPEAKER_01]: You kind of hype to see what's going to kind of all unfold.
[SPEAKER_01]: It took me a little bit because I didn't.
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw, you know, it was photo and I was like, oh, I love Phantom of the Opera.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been, you do get extra storage, fan-tages, theater, you know, so I have a certain, and when the chandelier fell and I was front roll, I was nervous, you know, so it was a real experience.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, you're asking, what's that, Pete, you're at like five minutes to go out of the way in that trip to the air?
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know, you came fast in Toronto, bro.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it was common quick.
[SPEAKER_02]: You shouldn't have been on the stage though, I think, it's the main industry.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, it's all in this real quick.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you called it when you're out on the weekend.
[SPEAKER_02]: See in fan of that for you like I'm photo.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm going photo.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm photo and ronto this weekend.
[SPEAKER_01]: You go, Proto, Ronto and then you're sad.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, but I just do it once I got over the Ponto of it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I, you know, I felt I fell in love with the art and was intrigued by a new story.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm excited.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the way that they were able to turn this into, it's hard to recover from the abs of the non-sleeved talking.
[SPEAKER_04]: Want to pat her, go, poked her, go, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked her, poked
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I have to know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tell me about this basically PSA, these two idiots heard one day to 30 years ago.
[SPEAKER_04]: I got to, I got to turn this on half-speed, so this bit goes in the lung.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not a bit, Alex, it's a reality.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is an excavation of Pina, my childhood, and it's important.
[SPEAKER_02]: We live hundreds of miles away, and yet look, we were able to come together about the core,
[SPEAKER_02]: this book is excellent.
[SPEAKER_02]: The pivot to make it truly a horror story and the Martin Simmons are to really lean into that like we're saying I think really elevates this.
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't imagine there's a lot of comic book fans who are like I'm also a massive Broadway head but I would recommend this to anyone who just likes a good horror comic and especially if you've been enjoying any of these universal monster books this is really just right in line with the rest of them.
[SPEAKER_01]: He asked the question on the live show about the horror comics, and this is definitely a good one.
[SPEAKER_03]: If only you had a direct life.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: The Punisher.
[SPEAKER_03]: Number one from Marvel, written by Benjamin Percy, art by Jose Luis Sores.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is actually a continuation of the Punisher Red Band series.
[SPEAKER_03]: The Benjamin Percy did where Punisher was brainwashed by Kingpin and forced to do his bidding.
[SPEAKER_03]: The brainwashing ship out of his brain, microchip had helped him put it there, and he's trying to decide whether to kill microchip his friend or not.
[SPEAKER_03]: Meanwhile, there's some other big moves going out in the city, Tombstone has been a rough-stead.
[SPEAKER_03]: Kingpins' fate is left in the air.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're supposed to pursue these deadies, definitely not.
[SPEAKER_03]: And Jigsaw is back.
[SPEAKER_03]: Jigsaw, who, if you don't know, his power is, he has a lot of scars.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he was he used to look like Frank Castle and now he's pissed about it, but he's he didn't he's not a clone or twin or anything.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's look alike, vaguely Right, um, weren't they?
[SPEAKER_03]: I think no, are you thinking about hush and Bruce Wayne?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, everyone talks about jigsaw like they were like mirror images and like, no, they're just like white dudes black hair or fucked up.
[SPEAKER_02]: But like it's being positioned like jigsaw is a hush type character for Frank Castle, but he's not at all.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just like a goon who keeps coming in the most like him.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but anyways, Jesus, not my favorite of the Punisher villains, but I really name literally one more Punisher villain.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god, there's so many, geez, Spider-Man.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the Spider-Man.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, the anti gun lobby.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there we go.
[SPEAKER_02]: Good work.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, that's today's pickings.
[SPEAKER_01]: Frankenstein.
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyways, I feel like
[SPEAKER_01]: I, you know, I trust Percy enough, so I'm gonna keep checking this out, but I wasn't looking at the Percy purse.
[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't like, oh shit, Jigsaw, here we go, but I think isn't he like the number one villain for Punisher?
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess it's just not a great villain.
[SPEAKER_03]: And once again, I don't mean to happen this.
[SPEAKER_03]: Could you name the number two that would real quick?
[SPEAKER_01]: himself.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I would say Kingpin is more, but he's also, you know, he basically killed him last issue.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I actually like what a Punisher's position here.
[SPEAKER_02]: He wants to kill people, but he's like struggling with his brain.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a good spot for him.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's like, in New York, there's a lot of New York love in this comic.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: One thing I had to say about this is
[SPEAKER_02]: just regular could be in store and the Punisher walks up to him and blows his brain out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Guys just robbing like he's walking out with like $27 from his 711.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that what we're we wanted from him?
[SPEAKER_02]: Are we like that's good, good work.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pete, I'm asking you Pete.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't, I think it's a little over the top, you know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: Like if he was Robin
[SPEAKER_02]: Hot dog or something, then I could understand you and I'm in the face for sure because you got a very cold hot dog because he ate a garbage meat stick for too many How many to eat a cost?
[SPEAKER_03]: How many to eat a as at 711?
[SPEAKER_03]: Does he have to steal for it to be murder?
[SPEAKER_03]: Three Well, because I really like what he steals, too.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just blow out the mouth So what's that?
[SPEAKER_02]: 40 cents of product and you're dead according to the publisher three tickets because I mean like We're talking about it in a pretty fliff flip way, but it is something I don't quite understand about the punisher
[SPEAKER_02]: Where we are, where he does kill anyone for just robbing a store.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, that's not what we want.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's supposed to kill He's crying level right now, so it's it's a little all-jumbled.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't know I was talking to the Punisher's lawyer Great to meet you.
[SPEAKER_03]: You must be busy call me foggy
[SPEAKER_03]: Great.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, what about talk about new history of the DC universe, the Dakota incident number one from DC comics written by Joseph P. Village, Stephanie Williams Morgan, Hampton, and Nicholas Draper IV, art by Valentine Delanjero, Carlo Pugulian, Steven Segoya, Fico Asio, and Edwin Galman.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, this is a interesting comic in terms of how it is being positioned here because new history of DCU was a four-issue series by Mark Wade.
[SPEAKER_03]: laying out the current continuity of the DC universe, this is not that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Instead, this is showing us why and how the superheroes of Dakota ended up as part of the DC universe, or at least how that happened and how that
[SPEAKER_03]: integrates with the history of the DC universe.
[SPEAKER_03]: It also spins off of static surprise appearance in the kids are all fight special.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, going in expecting it to be a little encyclopedia, I was surprised at not being that at all, but I got to say I really dug this story.
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought they did a really good job of incorporating these heroes into a little pocketed time when Lexlethor was president.
[SPEAKER_03]: which I thought was pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't love the age-to-up static that we get here because I think he works best as like a cool teen with cool electricity.
[SPEAKER_03]: But
[SPEAKER_03]: This is what it is.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, but we've seen this older static in another comic recently as well.
[SPEAKER_03]: So like, yeah, but that was in the future.
[SPEAKER_03]: That was the Batman Beyond static crossover.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think, I mean, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was hyped for that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I liked the older static and so like, if we're gonna make that the DCU's current static, I think that's cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I just really liked where this story this comic told and the way a position these characters
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a little like having all the justice things show up and be sort of the bad guys, sort of like a bureaucracy that isn't taking care of anyone is sort of like we're going to really keep our eye on legs when he fucked over everyone in Dakota.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was I think like cool, interesting, different and it made for a story we don't usually see.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to bring back all of
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah agreed.
[SPEAKER_01]: Also cool cover.
[SPEAKER_01]: I also really liked the ending.
[SPEAKER_01]: They did a great job getting you kind of hyped.
[SPEAKER_01]: I just hope there's going to be more because it was like I was in by the end.
[SPEAKER_01]: So.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just, well I don't know if there's going to be more of this, but there's clearly a push to at the very least integrate static into the DC universe, so I'm guessing we will see him hanging around for now.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, just to jump in with Justin's side of things, you know, just because someone's older Alex doesn't mean they're not cool anymore.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't tell him.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why would they ever reply to anyone of any of us?
[SPEAKER_03]: Hold me, y'all, what I'll...
[SPEAKER_03]: Void rivals, number 27, from Skybound, and it was called, now I was a cool thing, they're cool teeth.
[SPEAKER_02]: A young stroke, a young person's stroke.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a young stroke.
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't smell burnt toast, you smell like a miller-highlight.
[SPEAKER_02]: For a local.
[SPEAKER_02]: For local, local, local, local, local, local, local, local, local.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, the younger state, the younger state, the younger state.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, you smell, the smell of zin pouches, which is just milk, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, man, I miss a Z-Buff.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, run by Robert Kirby.
[SPEAKER_03]: Something different, it is, it is.
[SPEAKER_03]: Z's all the hardness was in zoons, which are really picking up, I think, are by Andre Bresson in this issue.
[SPEAKER_03]: Pew-pew.
[SPEAKER_03]: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
[SPEAKER_01]: You, we did not describe it to tell me just the plot of this issue.
[SPEAKER_04]: Tell me where the plot is issue.
[SPEAKER_04]: Shark to Cod's show up.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you tell me what the plot is?
[SPEAKER_04]: Because the plot is shark to Cod's eat a planet, period.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and they're like, hey, man, we got to do some about these shark to Cod's.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, I was confused by the last panel reveal a little bit, but this is just fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: What you didn't know who that guy was?
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I didn't, which was a little disappointing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no, the guy at the end, I don't want to spoil it too much.
[SPEAKER_03]: Is one of those large helmet guys?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I got that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, no, from void rivals.
[SPEAKER_01]: But what I liked about the cool cover that we see is we get a little GI Joe, the animated movie shot out.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was exciting.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, my thana, she's a badass.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was great to see her and the fresh.
[SPEAKER_01]: She's from COVID-19.
[SPEAKER_01]: She announced it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you got the little back matter description too.
[SPEAKER_02]: We might sort of an anchor character in this comic is handroid then I just didn't get enough to know what was happening to the hand right here So I got a handroid while we're talking about anchor characters.
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't help but no scuxoid has been off camera for several issues now.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're broken by that
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think you can really chart the downfall of this comic based on the lack of scux side.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, but like, you know, we, we would read this comic since the first issue and like it made sense for the premise made sense that we introduced a lot of ideas for the Transformers stuff epic.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like the reveal of the Transformer was so great.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it has gotten even when we started doing the Skucksuit thing, we were like, this is what funny, it's weird, it's weird how much we're spending your time with the Skucksuit guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we've got so far beyond doing something that feels away from the premise, central premise of the story that I just don't know what to hold on to here.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know, maybe it's worth the reason.
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's the thing to hold on to is.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the issue, we got a huge reveal of what's going to turn the tide of the quid tested more.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know what, it's energ on.
[SPEAKER_03]: And when they came out with that, I was like, cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: The stuff transformers.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, more of that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's what I mean.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, those things that I think that's meant to ground us.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, yeah, but that's not a story.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's like me and like, you know, these people need water.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's like, yeah, sick.
[SPEAKER_02]: Me too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I don't keep reading it until we die, I think I'm going to go back and reread it and see if it makes more sense.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe that's a challenge now.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to write this down.
[SPEAKER_04]: And keep reading it over and over.
[SPEAKER_04]: It starts to make sense until it starts to make sense.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm solo parenting.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll give a challenge.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Predator blood shed number one from Marvel written by Jordan Morris art by Rari Coleman with role in Boschie this is about a secret MMA tournament that's going on that gets interrupted by none other than the predator hunting the deadliest prey.
[SPEAKER_03]: Our window character is an over the hill MMA wrestler who gets back for one last fight because he's ready for a sick kid.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's how they get you mentioned the predator is there.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, I got to tell you, I know we don't enjoy Morris from back of the day from like comedy and podcast.
[SPEAKER_03]: Whatever great guy definitely known for his funny stuff and most of the things that he's been doing comics so far.
[SPEAKER_03]: Have been comedy things.
[SPEAKER_03]: This has some funny stuff in it, but it's mostly serious and it.
[SPEAKER_03]: rocks.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think like this is like really well set out predator story with really well drawn very specific MMA characters that are cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's basically like basically what of the predator front mortal combat like ended up in the middle of mortal combat because some of the characters have enhancements and stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: that's really fun.
[SPEAKER_03]: I had a lot of fun reading this issue.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it is great.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a lot of action, cool art, a touch of kind of blood and guts, but I also felt like predator was cheating a little bit.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: Like he's just watching these MMA fighters always cheats.
[SPEAKER_03]: That is one of my biggest deepest held beliefs is the predator always cheats.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm finally seeing that for the first time in this comic you show me because he's just sitting there
[SPEAKER_01]: Clock in their moves being like, okay, this is this guy's weakness.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is and they just watch them fight Just being like, okay, I know how to take and then he jumps in.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, yeah, I'll do that.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's fucking
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you're just sitting there making sure that you can take all these guys before you jump in.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you think in the original Predator movie, like right before any attacks, there should be a ref there that's like tweet.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cool with the lasers.
[SPEAKER_02]: These guys just have guns.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's no weapons or MMA fighters, and they gotta take out a predator.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's fucking lopsided.
[SPEAKER_02]: The idea of you watching the original Predator movie would be like,
[SPEAKER_03]: every time it really isn't because they're supposed to be like oh we're the biggest deadliest big game hunters in the entire galaxy looking us and it's we're gonna hunt anybody down also they have like a nuclear bob in their rest it's not a fair fight it is never a fair fight they're not they're the equivalent of people are like yep I love hunting is a sport when they're carrying a bazooka to blow up a rabbit yeah
[SPEAKER_02]: But here's, I don't know if you guys have ever seen nature, but like, yeah, lions versus lambs, it's a little off, exactly, if he was a lion with a laser gun mounted on each soldier that tracked the lab.
[SPEAKER_03]: A lamb has nothing going for it.
[SPEAKER_02]: A lamb's like, I'm a future sweaty for Alex's album.
[SPEAKER_02]: And of course, this lion's going to kill me.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to cause
[SPEAKER_02]: It's actually crazy you're saying this because one time I went to the petting zoo at the zoo and I saw them there The lambs had to be get to the chopper Wow The classic lamb hoof Orange touching meme I'm just saying if you're seeing a lamb turn the tables in a line and kill that fucker
[SPEAKER_01]: no you know they are soft you know so maybe if a lamb could be like hey pat me before you kill me and then the lions like wow this is really a soft uh and and then one cozy and then what the lamb like shoves it's the little hoof through the lion's face
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that what you want?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, I think it's fine that it's not fair.
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope that our MMA fighters are going to really get their shit together and get some healthy, can take down this brother that would be insane.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I really like the way that this book just, like, again, like owns the situations.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, yeah, some people are half robot, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then a lot of people that you just met are instantly murdered.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that was great.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Jordan's not pulling any punches for a big first issue.
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely, Martian man on to your number nine from T.C.
[SPEAKER_03]: comics written by Dennis Kamp, art by Havier Rodriguez in this issue.
[SPEAKER_03]: John Jones has been taken over by Despero.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, my gosh, and is outdoin some other stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, we finally get the revelation that we knew was coming that his son has been taken over by the white Martian and a bunch of other, as usual,
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it is very tribute.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a very cool creative cover, by the way.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's worth it for the art alone.
[SPEAKER_01]: This absolute book is just so creatively drawn.
[SPEAKER_01]: The panels are amazing.
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, this issue is stressful.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's fucked for me.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's fucking up his marriage.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's fucking things up with his kid.
[SPEAKER_01]: This alien that he has taken over his life is now darker and weirder than the last one.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's freaking me out, man.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's becoming a nightmare, but the art is amazing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I mean, I love this.
[SPEAKER_02]: This comic is great.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's pushing the genre.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's been the sort of the take from the very beginning of this.
[SPEAKER_02]: But what I've been like about this is like the metaphor for depression here with desperate.
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought was really well done.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the loss of John Jones is sort of power similar to Dick Jones, similar characters.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, it was really nicely done here.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's being the Martians being vivisected.
[SPEAKER_02]: and all of the brightness taken out of him at the same time, John himself is sinking deeper into the sort of the blueness, as Desperate calls it, just great.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love the way everything it has is so detail specific and really aren't fully done.
[SPEAKER_02]: Talk to bottom.
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't need to sell you on this.
[SPEAKER_02]: All the absolute books are there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Alex, are you thinking about a Dick Jones t-shirt right now?
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not like, I'm not a dick to Jones, T-Shirt would be fun.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sure, I'll think about what that might be.
[SPEAKER_03]: Resil heißt number three from image comics by Kyle Starks.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is one of my favorite series a month after a month per the title.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's about a bunch of over the hill wrestlers who get together to pull a heist on the wrestling promoter who did them all wrong.
[SPEAKER_03]: The heist starts to come together on a fight,
[SPEAKER_03]: this issue, but there might be a trader in their myths, just greatly, really well drawn characters, very fun situations, a crazy, deeply realized world that has its whole expansive wrestling history to it that's so much fun, plus the back matter at the end is so much fun as well with fake ads and other things, it's great.
[SPEAKER_01]: yeah agreed the back matter is phenomenal um yeah the art style is just so fun it's got a lightness to it that is just a pose you into this world that is so well crafted.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the vibe of the book I love the the pace of the book I love the characters in this book.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm really pulling for this team even though you're not sure it's the right thing for them to be doing but
[SPEAKER_02]: You can just feel the love pouring out of every panel.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's really nice to fact that it really is just Kyle Starks, sort of leading it and doing the writing and the art on it is really cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the back matter continues to be the best back matter in the piss.
[SPEAKER_03]: The infernal hull could number four from Marvel written by Philip Kennedy Johnson, art by Nick Klein.
[SPEAKER_03]: In this issue, well, last issue we looked at what was going on with Bruce Battern.
[SPEAKER_03]: This issue we find out what's going on with Hulk while the infernal hull is on the earth wrecking shop, and not just one Hulk, but many, many hulks come together.
[SPEAKER_03]: This also includes a panel layout that Philip Kennedy Johnson told us about
[SPEAKER_03]: back on our podcast a couple of weeks back so you can go and listen to that for more info on what's going on here as well as the future of the series but Pete I know you're pretty psyched about this one and in fact Philip specifically said Pete you are going to love this issue I know you hate Marvel so did it to balance out here this was so awesome this was unbelievable this was so fucking cool and badass first off let's back up the truck and just
[SPEAKER_01]: shout out to this amazing covers so many hikes it's gets you excited for the insides and that's what a shit cover does yeah I agree and a good face for a person well it's excited for the insides
[SPEAKER_03]: I was going to say skin like this skin of the animal.
[SPEAKER_01]: This guy wears past.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I want to lose the thread that this is an amazing comic and I want to take a moment here and just talk about this art.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, these panels are they're just tripped out, but also so well drawn.
[SPEAKER_01]: and so beautifully drawn the green hawk that we get in here and this trip down candy mushroom world was just so beautiful but also we're so weird and tripped out and crazy looking.
[SPEAKER_01]: The smaller hawk fighting like a bigger hawk, it was just...
[SPEAKER_01]: unbelievable.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure exactly what's happening, but you know, when it got to, you know, gray hawk there, when we saw Joe fix it, I was losing my fucking mind.
[SPEAKER_01]: All these pages of these monsters just looking so cool, so epic.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just so spectacular, and this kind of mother of horror thing is just so crazy.
[SPEAKER_01]: But now what's great is we got a plan, like the Hawks have got to kind of
[SPEAKER_01]: try to team up to take on the mother of horrors and so yeah I just felt like this was such a banger issue and I cannot wait to see what's going to happen next.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is just unbelievable comics.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's super tight manners out here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we got Titananers out here, the weather report is coming in.
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like this has like the vibe of like a nightmare where you just keep seeing different flashes of scenes, and it's all just featuring the different hulks.
[SPEAKER_02]: It does feel like a statement issue from Philip Kennedy Johnson as he sort of, we have the horror, the everyday horror of Bruce Banner and Betty at home last issue, and this is like,
[SPEAKER_02]: sort of the internal fantasy sequence or of what's going on inside the infernal Hulk.
[SPEAKER_02]: And really set it this stage for a disastrous battle.
[SPEAKER_02]: But as he said, and as was T's, I think this week, there's a massive event coming up in the future where it's going to be the infernal Hulk versus essentially everyone.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's his big third act from this epic run that he's been on.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it is epic.
[SPEAKER_03]: Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong 2 would number 7 from DC Comics written by Brian Bruchelado, Art by Christian Duce, the final issue of the series as the Justice League, you know, a lot of monsters all fight and some of the Justice League are large and they fight and that's the end of that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, you know, don't cut it short.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a blast of a comic.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just so much fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's huge, giant fights, cool team ups.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's everything you want, and this ridiculously long title, and I think they do such a great job of delivering on it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I was a blast in a half.
[SPEAKER_01]: I just I was having so much fun with all the kind of the fights and the looks and the nods and Oh, God, I was super man big one of my I was going to hype up the nods Dude, I love him.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love him.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, bro When my mom threw a nods my mom would be complete if I got the nod from godzilla like super man god I mean that we got the last you want the god nod.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want the god nod
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you want the Nad Zilla as they go on.
[SPEAKER_03]: Justin, what did you think about this?
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I mean, it's a big, it's certainly big.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a big comic.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a big, it's a big thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's all.
[SPEAKER_03]: Come on.
[SPEAKER_03]: I got to say there were pages in here.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, stop it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Come on guys, this was a blast.
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's what I'm going to say about this, Pete, because I like the monster.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: I really enjoy it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I also like DC Comics, which I can't remember.
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't like Marvel Comics.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_03]: you also like DC Comics.
[SPEAKER_03]: So we have this in common.
[SPEAKER_03]: We like these things.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I even enjoyed the first Justice League versus God's deliverances, Kong.
[SPEAKER_03]: This had no plot.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like the problem with this is, is it started and we've talked about this incessantly with every issue.
[SPEAKER_03]: The first one had this emotional throughline of Superman and Loas.
[SPEAKER_03]: The second one started this emotional through line of Barry Allen and Iris and what was going on with Barry because they just got married at the beginning and this last issue Barry Allen's like, well, I'm also a year.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and that's pretty much it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Then we'll put in this thing about Harley trying to find an altar at Joker, she finds out it's just like a cloud of regular cloud.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was so confused by that.
[SPEAKER_03]: That was such a funny and fun moment.
[SPEAKER_03]: What is the do anything?
[SPEAKER_03]: What does it have to do with anything?
[SPEAKER_03]: Also there is all the stuff about Lee Sean the suicide squad I don't think we ever found out when Lex Luther was up to it all over earth or anything like that Or I don't even know if they went down to hollow earth.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know they were in the monkey cave.
[SPEAKER_02]: They were definitely It just felt a little messy and this moment.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're really stuck out to me like Superman super girl on Godzilla just like
[SPEAKER_02]: Just wreck this dude with all their defiance.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and then there's a moment where super Superman Wonder Woman and Supergirl take a knee Yeah, all the muscles respect and stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: Martian manners like it's an impressive show respect They're better than he like he's the king of the monsters because he is I was like what?
[SPEAKER_02]: Who's he?
[SPEAKER_02]: Heroes talking about Batman in the back.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like sigh
[SPEAKER_01]: like, man, that man's not going to take any.
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought this was just, I, I, instead of me skipping over the human parts, they were just like, all right, let's get rid of all that and let's just focus on the monster fighting.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was very excited about that, but also the monster fighting, you could give some stakes.
[SPEAKER_01]: There were no stakes here.
[SPEAKER_03]: That was the problem.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you know,
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, fine, if you want some stakes, all right, I can see that as a gripe, but I was very happy to turn off my brain and be like, yes, have my heroes be huge and be able to fight alongside Godzilla.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, ha!
[SPEAKER_02]: I like the peak it's mad when we criticize a comic because it's like Alex the comics right here.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's right here and funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you hear you talking about it?
[SPEAKER_03]: It's true.
[SPEAKER_03]: They do.
[SPEAKER_03]: The power fantasy number 16 from image comics written by Kira Gillen, art by Casper, Windguard, and last issue we end up with a huge cliffhanger that seemed like one of our characters was going to open up the pit of hell.
[SPEAKER_03]: I destroy the entire world.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're opening up several questions about
[SPEAKER_03]: What this series was going to be going forward and whether there would be an issue after 16 since then it's listening to anything forward Surprise there's a bunch of big twists that are going on here in this issue Another I'm almost hesitant to even spoil what happens, but it is Absolutely wild issue of the power fantasy that ends at a fantastic place Great every issue of this is great
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's the arts unbelievable, just there's just such amazing panels in here.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just kind of really feels like this epic story that they're trying to tell.
[SPEAKER_01]: The only part that kind of pulled me out and it's a small parpo.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just the pizza handoff that was being handled like no one had ever held a pizza pizza before.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was a little weird, but other than that, I was having some time.
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you think is probably the one that I'm looking at there right now?
[SPEAKER_01]: You're handy to someone the wrong way you pick it by the cross in the handed somebody you don't have a small part what the you can't do that
[SPEAKER_01]: Also, nobody has plates, you know what I mean like why don't you just when you hand over pizza you hold it by the tiny end of the triangle right and shake it No, it's a horrible way Yeah Treat catch it on your nose Circus It was just backwards pizza handling
[SPEAKER_02]: it was weird, especially that was like a very dramatic moment.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not like this is like an off panel mini panel thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is like sort of a big crux of the end of this very important issue of this series.
[SPEAKER_02]: And she does.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I will say she is a very powerful character.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe she doesn't have time to know how pizza works.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, maybe that's the point in the next arc, I guess we'll see.
[SPEAKER_02]: And let me say one of the geniuses of pizzas that often, you don't have to have someone else touching it.
[SPEAKER_04]: You get to pick it up from the box with one of the rare foods that you can pick up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's really good.
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't pass it around.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like sushi.
[SPEAKER_02]: You pick it up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't pass me the sushi.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, also someone handed me a slice that way, I'd be like, what the fuck are you doing?
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I don't want to back off on this.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was all the end of this pizza.
[SPEAKER_03]: You pick it up.
[SPEAKER_03]: So we were kind of throwing it around, like we didn't get out of the old football.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I feel like that might make people think like, wait, we don't deliver when we do deliver.
[SPEAKER_03]: If it was like pizza, you pick it up.
[SPEAKER_03]: It would be like, oh, I guess I got to go there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's a good point.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: You, we deliver and then you pick it up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it too confusing?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: It might imply that like they're delivering it at the same time.
[SPEAKER_04]: You've got to head to the pizza place to like pay or something like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, the place is called the pizza fantasy, Alex.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just to be clear.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's like, don't worry, we deliver and then you pick it up.
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... the can't tell people hate us right now or you can't hear that they're not here either listening to the future i'm just pausing because i'm trying to think of pizza flavors based i can't go and cast for the winter i'm sorry i'll play piece of flavors where's the flavor in the crust in the situation oh my god
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't figured it out yet.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was trying to think of, like, anyway, I follow our journey on the pizza fan's agenda.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I'm keeping stuck up with, like, curing Gillen is that some sort of fish, like there's some sort of fish out there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, definitely go ahead and turn to an anchovy.
[SPEAKER_02]: When I feel like there's got to be something.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you think of curing Gillen and you think of fish?
[SPEAKER_03]: I just feel like there's a fit that sounds like curing Gillen.
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't pull my finger out of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't put my pizza finger on it.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a great comic.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a very carefully made comic.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a cultivated comic.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is coming to a culmination point that we are talking about in the wrong way.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it is excellent.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like a great piece of triangle pointed pizza.
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like Kipers Wingard, Kipers are sardines, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, but no one would ever say like, Kipers, Kipers Wingard.
[SPEAKER_03]: No one ought to Kipers on a beat.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a wild pizza.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a lot of things to do.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll keep working on this.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll let you guys do it with the store opens.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let us know with the stores and the comments.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's just store it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a good dollar store.
[SPEAKER_02]: We deliver and then you pick it up.
[SPEAKER_01]: Look at this, look at this cool cover right here.
[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to pick this cover up.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm good, we're good, we're good.
[SPEAKER_02]: That Pete Desperate on.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pete Desperate trying to move out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pete literally set it up his own comics.
[SPEAKER_02]: Man, check out this cover.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh man, stick cover.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pete's literally doing a one-man show right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can just start talking about this, all right?
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm at number two from Marvel Written by Joshua Williamson, Art by Carmen Cardinal.
[SPEAKER_03]: Iron Man is dealing with a plant by Madame Masque and Aim, which is aimed at creating a new Tony Stark.
[SPEAKER_03]: rather than a new Ironman and this issue we're dealing with the history with Whitney Frost aka Mademask and Tony Stark as well as what Tony is trying to do to take this down We really like the first issue when I go to say I really like the second issue as well Joshua Williamson has nailed That breezy Ironman who still has unbelievable world ending stakes to deal with I have the plus Carmen Paderas artist just great I love that
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I kind of forget that toti and that a bass have a romantic thing going on.
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's a fun riff.
[SPEAKER_03]: We would see the character a lot of the Marvel Universe, they even reference her appearance, and then I'm going on here, but fun stuff throughout.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead.
[SPEAKER_02]: You go.
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, yeah, I thought, uh, you know, I thought ruining Motox vacation was a little rough, but other than that, I thought this was fun, uh, I liked the twist and turns and yeah, enjoyed the story, uh, enjoyed the art.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's fun to see Motoc like out of armor.
[SPEAKER_02]: Great.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just his loose head, and he's wearing like a flower, and T-R-R. Yeah, he's doing like a whole Dionysus thing going on.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was funny and he's just like still floating in a like tap it like it foot deep water.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like disgusting
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's when a big head goes on vacation.
[SPEAKER_02]: The romance between Tony and Madam Mask is nice.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's hard to square this character with the Madam Mask in Venom that is the ultimate bad guy who's like, being straight up evil to Venom Mary Jane.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I like this version of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I like the idea that she's someone that is just a sort of spy espionage person
[SPEAKER_02]: and they just have this wild chemistry.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I actually wish we got more of that in this.
[SPEAKER_02]: And yes, yes, Alex.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just remember the pizza slogan.
[SPEAKER_02]: Damn.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's really good.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm fighting.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm fighting.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really good.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like we've broken you.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm good.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, but it's because he's like, he's literally trying to start the business that we are done.
[SPEAKER_02]: He wants to make the pizza fantasy a pizza reality.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, like, I hope we get more of their backstory.
[SPEAKER_02]: And maybe I'm just like, a rom-com-pilled between Tony Stark and Samma Frost, and now...
[SPEAKER_02]: But this is with me, Frost.
[SPEAKER_02]: We had another Frost unrelated.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, but it's okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just love it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's got thing for Frost.
[SPEAKER_03]: Great stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't realize we were putting this back to back my bad, but Superman number 35 from DC Comics written by Joshua Williamson or the boy in some boroughs and Eber Ferreira and Julio Ferreira.
[SPEAKER_03]: No relation.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm getting there probably related.
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, this is a DCKO tie-in as Superman has been killed in the DCKO tournament, but Lois Lane and Superboy Prime are trying to take a Superman real-bot to the time trapper.
[SPEAKER_03]: Also known as Dubes Day in order to give him a vital piece of information about the tournament and the future.
[SPEAKER_03]: At the end, up at a big fight with the Legion in the process.
[SPEAKER_03]: Another great issue from Joshua Williams, and I thought, like, these tie-ins have been really good.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not sold on the time trapper necessarily, but I do think, you know, you don't really resist it to the time, you know, why don't you, why don't you stay, it's, it's a lot.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it, what's it about it?
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it the look, is it the themeo, yeah, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the themeo, it's the theme
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know if I'd say, you know, but I hear what you're saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's, um, I like the character and it's clearly for weight loss toomsay with that be better for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, Zampig toomsay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Zampig toomsay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, but he's going to have to stay on it because otherwise he just gained the game.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's how they get you.
[SPEAKER_02]: He gained some of the get-tony cryptonean rocks.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, Zampig does sound like a super bad villain.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, great idea.
[SPEAKER_02]: The I thought's already written it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I continue to love the evil Legion in this event.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like that they were sort of like introduced and then left to the side and I like that they've become much more central as it's been going on.
[SPEAKER_02]: Especially for Superman.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know what?
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't usually love super boy prime, but get on board here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh man, and I actually like, time-trap or doomsday.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I'm, yeah, I'm a rapper in deeper.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, on all of this, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I like a sister issue.
[SPEAKER_03]: Even though I love this as a kid, as an adult, I'm not a big fan of the all-powerful character who stands by the side type thing, like that whole show.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then later, it's like, I'm the only one who can save the day.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, yeah, we knew that since you fucking showed up, man.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I used to, I played that game when I was like eight years old.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd line up all my action figures on the floor and Rodamus Prime would stand on the shelf over there to be like, it's not time yet.
[SPEAKER_03]: He was the hero.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he was the greatest hero.
[SPEAKER_03]: Does he look so good?
[SPEAKER_03]: After all, the cabbage patch kids got taken out and all the he bad characters and everything that he'd come in and say the day.
[SPEAKER_02]: You think cabbage patch would go first, not first.
[SPEAKER_03]: They were like, the second strongest character was by
[SPEAKER_03]: We get our ranky real quick.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sure, most powerful character was brought him as prime, obviously.
[SPEAKER_03]: Secondful of scaric who character was a racer.
[SPEAKER_03]: Cabbage Patch Kids, a racer I had, who was called Superdickey.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's very funny.
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you say we have Dickie?
[SPEAKER_03]: We have to help his friends.
[SPEAKER_03]: And the Cabbage Patch that I got was named Dickie Francis, and so we have Dick Jones and now Dickie Francis.
[SPEAKER_03]: So my racer was Dickie Francis Jr.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love that's like this is so real it's so real when you're a kid that toys you're like well this is really important I'm like that's a fruit loop that you That's a walnut that you drew a face on and yeah No, it's me the most precious The other thing about this superman was the ranking stunt was that all of it or were they're marked yeah I don't remember the rest of this kind of all just like
[SPEAKER_02]: Once you get to super-dick you, I think.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not down there on the side from there.
[SPEAKER_02]: I really like the way they, in this comic Saturn Girls, sort of like, pulled out of dark side by acknowledging feelings, the feeling of love.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I like, it's a very like, show don't tell how you reverse the dark side is anti-life equation by people, having people like experience life.
[SPEAKER_02]: and enjoy life, and that's the kind of thing that I just love to see, shown in that way, without someone being like, no, we have to have the experience love, and that's how we get them, no, it just happened and we get to ride with it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that will become a more important later.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry, it's just after you said the words pulls out of dark side I didn't hear anything else you said so my bad, you have to pull out of dark side.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the only way I'm not getting a pregnant.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Catholic method.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can also never write.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, Hyde Street, number 11 from Ghost Machine at Image Comics, written by Jeff Chauds, Art by Fred S. Portella, this is the kickoff of the first big arc this book has done revealing a secret butcher of Hyde Street, we also get the origin of sisterhood who recently had her own mini series,
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and we see a couple of other characters bouncing along as well.
[SPEAKER_03]: Pete, since we did talk about this on the live show about how you like this, even though it's a hard book, what did you think of this issue?
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, first off, cool cover here where there's a bunch of variants and other cool covers as well.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this continues to be great.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the art, the writing, this is twisted, but it's also very cool and interesting.
[SPEAKER_01]: We get the sisters kind of story here and how that all kind of gets set up.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I love the back matter as well.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's some cool cereals.
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder if those were real or not The creature crisp is my favorite.
[SPEAKER_01]: Good for she didn't make coffee, but I don't think they've made cereal.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah No, man, they even have t-shirts with the cereal logo on it.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was like, oh, man They got to make the cereal now, but I guess not you're hungry
[SPEAKER_02]: I really like the, there's a lot of great like echo of Pete saying, like Peter saying, I really like this, the colorist I wanted to highlight here because at a certain point we drift out of color into black and white with some like affectations and then come back to it while being like the some letter letter bubbles have, there's speech bubbles have different colors to them.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's just all very like deliberately made and that's always cool to see.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Next up, Rogue.
[SPEAKER_03]: Good number, Tina from Marvel, written by Erica Schultz, art by Luigi Zagaria.
[SPEAKER_03]: Rogue is dealing with some lost memories that are suddenly coming back or at least they seem to be lost memories.
[SPEAKER_03]: She's gone to consult with Mystique.
[SPEAKER_03]: And once she does her powers go out of control, morphing her like a morphing ranger herself.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hmm.
[SPEAKER_03]: But not at all, actually.
[SPEAKER_03]: Would you guys think about this?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I thought this was cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: Rogue goes to Mystique for answers, and Mystique is like a fuck you, rogue, and then Rogue flies away, and has a lot of feelings about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, she gets into a big fight and is trying to work things out, and then things kind of go sideways for, yeah, Erica Schulz's an amazing writer, I love the art.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be interested to see how this unfolds more.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I like the mystery that America is building here.
[SPEAKER_02]: The art is definitely really good, just like superhero comic art with a great series of sequences here.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like the way Rog's powers are sort of on the frontier in a way that I haven't seen before.
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, facts facts.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: The flash number 30 from DC Comics written by Mark Wade and Christopher Cantwell, art by Vasco, George, this is the final issue of the DC KO tie-in as Bart Allen tries to stop.
[SPEAKER_03]: Barry Allen from doing his crisis, I'd infinite earths thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's all mixed up with dark side and stuff going on with him.
[SPEAKER_03]: I will say, even though I generally enjoy this, it is funny over a DCKO for it to be like dark side is this overwhelming power.
[SPEAKER_03]: The biggest thing you've ever eaten is big as a planet.
[SPEAKER_03]: And here there's like two flashes that are tackling him.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I actually liked that part of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I liked that they got to like fight dark side and it wasn't as big like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: The other thing I really liked about this is it was able to use all the flashes really effectively.
[SPEAKER_02]: I really felt the differences between them and why they were used at different points of this.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're different points of view.
[SPEAKER_02]: This book did a great job of just like hitting them when they are needed without it feeling like they're doubling up,
[SPEAKER_02]: I think just a tough part about the Flash family, because they all have the same power set that it makes it tough.
[SPEAKER_02]: But the idea that Bart Allen is sort of the embodiment of the Speed Force and the way they made this work emotionally, despite the fact that it's the Speed Force.
[SPEAKER_02]: One of the more like, wait, what is that?
[SPEAKER_02]: Kind of have things in the DC universe.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I also thought this had a really sweet ending.
[SPEAKER_01]: I enjoyed it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I thought this was fun, it was just laughing because when Zelpin was like Bart Allen and then Barry Allen, it looked like his brain broke a little bit and I started the laugh because I was like, but yeah, I thought this was a great art, great action.
[SPEAKER_03]: The author immortal number five from image comics written by Frank J. Barbier art by Morgan beam.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is following a author who has been sucked into a fed sea world that he loved who was kid along with his oldest child who is also beating a fictional version of his oldest child.
[SPEAKER_03]: And they're going on various adventures and there's other stuff going on.
[SPEAKER_03]: But, uh, I'm a lot.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, there's a lot going on in this issue.
[SPEAKER_03]: I do want to highlight as usual, Morgan Beams, absolutely gorgeous art.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's some terrifying and fascinating creatures that are throughout here.
[SPEAKER_03]: Just a great looking book.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's almost water paintings for each panel.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really fantastic, panel work and art.
[SPEAKER_01]: I enjoyed this.
[SPEAKER_01]: Love the twists and turns, cool cover.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, it's an interesting story that's got, it's twisted and kind of evil, but you're kind of rooting for it anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: great monsters the combining the drama that's happening in the fantasy world that is big and mythological there's a mystery here that we're sort of getting to I think this issue there's a little bit of like coiness hovering over it so it's hard to tell exactly what's going on in the larger story but I feel like the next issue is going to be another big reveal but balancing that with what's happening in the real world and making that dramatic is a
[SPEAKER_03]: The Rocketeer, the island number one from I-D-W-Rit by Dave Stevens and John Layman, Art by Jacob Edgar.
[SPEAKER_03]: Stensibly, the idea here is the Throcketeer knew a Belia Air Heart back of the day.
[SPEAKER_03]: that a year later after her disappearance, he goes after her to try to find her.
[SPEAKER_03]: But this book, I don't know if this was out there, is hiding central surprises in its pages that I was pretty flabbergasted about it a pleasant way.
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess I'll just say, I don't know how much we want to spoil about it, but I guess I'll just say that there are a lot of things that the, oh, we just want to say.
[SPEAKER_03]: There are a lot of things in the public domain, Pete already said what if it?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we got, we don't want to keep listening, but it's crazy.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's fun, cameo kind of like, oh, shit.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, shit.
[SPEAKER_01]: Kind of page turned out.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I didn't necessarily want to listen because I think like part of the fun of the book is the surprises as these characters show up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's a crazy, I was like,
[SPEAKER_02]: What?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't, you're like, because I, the one Peter already said, Popeye, like, he appears and you're like, without saying who it is and I was like, oh, like, I look like Popeye.
[SPEAKER_02]: What a funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it is Popeye.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, Popeye, see?
[SPEAKER_02]: In this, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
[SPEAKER_03]: it's so weird because they just use papai and savage dragon as well so i i don't mind that like i don't mind taking these public domain characters and figuring out a way to use them that is fun in mashups you know i would rather have that that like yeah it's papai is public domain most should we do always is slash is serial killer now there's your movie good night
[SPEAKER_03]: Get out.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is a lot more fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the surprise was just very powerful.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love the Rocketeer reading this.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, I have to really watch the movie.
[SPEAKER_02]: What a great.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I like taking the Rocketeer out of the normal environment into a different place.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're getting all the elements here, the Betty of it, the him having the solid mystery.
[SPEAKER_02]: All that stuff's great.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not spoiling there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and also the art is just so bright and kind of tearful.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's got a great vibe to it that kind of sets up this island of fun.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and I mean, speaking to the island, the fun part about it is they do introduce all these public domain characters, surprisingly in the first issue.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a very strong hint of what is to come in the second issue, and there's going to be even more of that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's some more silly fun stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hulk Smash, everything number three from Marvel, written by Ryan North, Archbishop and Jedjo.
[SPEAKER_03]: Cara, two, the idea of this book is exactly in the title.
[SPEAKER_03]: What if we sent Hulk to smash everything into this issue?
[SPEAKER_03]: He's going up against a black hole.
[SPEAKER_03]: He gets sucked into a black hole.
[SPEAKER_03]: Thanks to the machinations of the leader,
[SPEAKER_03]: It's an interesting way of rolling out the story because you basically get like half an issue wrapping up the half an issue of the previous issue.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then the second half of the issue starts a new fight, so it's sort of like this rolling thing going on, which is kind of fascinating, but yeah, every issue of this is a lot of fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is a blast, a fun last panel, kind of hilarious moment when they see all these like, oh shit.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I also think that the, I really love the,
[SPEAKER_01]: when he's hating on Galactus's hat, that was just so funny.
[SPEAKER_01]: This comic is just really enjoyable and tons of kind of action to pallet forward.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it seems like Hulk created all life by starting a big bang in the middle of space.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's nice to have that answer.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, Hulk.
[SPEAKER_02]: We all are a new religion just dropped for Pete LePage.
[SPEAKER_02]: What I, this book is like a trippy silver age comic written by a very modern like Ryan North.
[SPEAKER_02]: Everything that happens is super like whoa, how would that ever be?
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's very like just directly and squarely written with a light sense of humor like Ryan North does.
[SPEAKER_02]: So,
[SPEAKER_02]: It comes across as like a strange tone, I think, but I do enjoy it and it really works.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I like what you're saying, Alex, about this sort of stringing the fights together, because he keeps me turning those pages.
[SPEAKER_03]: Green Lantern number 32 from DC Comics written by Jeremy Adams art by Montes in this issue you could probably tell from the cover, but Hal Jordan is getting ready to propose to Caral Ferris.
[SPEAKER_03]: Does something come in their way?
[SPEAKER_03]: You know it does.
[SPEAKER_03]: You've read comics before.
[SPEAKER_03]: Man, how this works.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, what's the fun romantic issue?
[SPEAKER_03]: Good, our good fights going on here.
[SPEAKER_03]: I wish things had ended up differently, but Oh, man.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is a fun issue.
[SPEAKER_01]: Really fun when she kind of loses it when the, you know, thing gets proposal gets ruined a little bit, but yeah, great art, great action, fun soar.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sort of a star sapphire comic really right now and the focus and getting into more of the
[SPEAKER_02]: very comfortably taking the back seat because there's other shit going on with the her ring as opposed to his for a change.
[SPEAKER_03]: In glorious X-Force, number two from Marvel, written by Tim Seely, art by Michael Stah, Maria.
[SPEAKER_03]: There is a trader in cables, myths, who is going to kill President Kamala Khan sometime in the future.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's trying to figure out who it is.
[SPEAKER_03]: While they're going on missions at the same time, I gotta say, as much as I'm joyless to not to throw out something negative, it is weird how relatively similar this is to the previous Roddex Force.
[SPEAKER_03]: Just that was forage being like, well, there's a secret pattern here and everybody has secrets and I'm putting this team together for a very specific reason.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I can't tell them what it is as I try to figure it out and try to figure out each of them individually.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think this is more, you know, X4C with the sharps and whatever, but that was occurring to me while I was reading it.
[SPEAKER_01]: What was occurring to me was Domino was kind of like the watcher in this issue here.
[SPEAKER_01]: She's just kind of checking things out.
[SPEAKER_01]: But her time chilling with that squirrel was very touching.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think there's a fun comic, a lot of action and fights, a great art and T-seals.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm all I'm bored.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, it's interesting to compare us into the forge-led X4 series from before.
[SPEAKER_02]: This feels a little more focused to me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: It focused.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, yes, forge-focused.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: The mystery is nice.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like the panel check and we get here where we see the cable's vision of the different characters and how they would be killing the president.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the cable vision, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: so like I'm I'm definitely on board with this mystery and I do like that it feels it's maybe just the boom boom of it all that feels like such a central x force to me so I'm happy to go I issue the one that did it probably not brought well maybe boom you think she did she's the probably cable right I think we did talk about cables the one
[SPEAKER_03]: at the end of it because like we can't blame any of these guys we love all these guys yeah they're lovable just to sleep on limited number sixteen from dc comics written by mark weighed art by dan mora while the dc universe is ending a dc KO mr. terrific has taken a team of time lost heroes to hell take on niron and things are going wrong from there but does everybody rally and fight back oh you know they do
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you betcha the survivors anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because we've lost a lot of grades.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure have.
[SPEAKER_01]: We have RIP.
[SPEAKER_01]: Would you think about this?
[SPEAKER_01]: You fellows.
[SPEAKER_01]: Crazy cover.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like goes down, our woman is shook.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, a terrorist fucking shit up, but maybe there's a little hope at the end there.
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I thought this was enjoyable.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Danmore art is so sick and the colors like it's full like Halloween greens yellows reds orange is like it's very Very and it's an intense read.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love this run from the start because I like these sort of also ran characters
[SPEAKER_02]: being pushed through this, the superman character, especially has been sort of a general bummer, but I do like this.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm wondering, what do you think about Mark Wade's love of
[SPEAKER_02]: What's his name?
[SPEAKER_02]: Lightwave?
[SPEAKER_02]: Airwave.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Really just constant prominence.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he just hooked into him at the beginning and was like, let's go.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's our window character.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's our kitty pride joining the X-Men type thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's kind of running with that.
[SPEAKER_03]: But there's so much going on in the title.
[SPEAKER_03]: Whatever he pops up, like, all right.
[SPEAKER_03]: What's up with that guy?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, well, and obviously it's strange like Pete mentioned the watch or like one second ago, but he has that energy like oh, he airwaves here Something's about to happen.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, yeah, it's crazy.
[SPEAKER_01]: We think that It's worth a wave barquade.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's something to that.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, there's something we got to work on it.
[SPEAKER_03]: We got to work on it.
[SPEAKER_03]: You guys
[SPEAKER_03]: The mortal Thor number seven from Marvel written by Al-Yuying art by Pasqual.
[SPEAKER_03]: Ferry in this issue, our main character who is not Thor, but just a guy with a hammer attached to a string.
[SPEAKER_01]: The hammer work, you know, this guy,
[SPEAKER_01]: First off, like, you know, they're really kind of going back and forth and whether or not this is to Thor not the e it's got to me the hammer work alone Well, when you start the issue, he's already hammered and then after the issue He's hammered again.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, man.
[SPEAKER_03]: You'll hammer in the morning.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what I'm talking about?
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, is that a homestart runner quote again?
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, stop what up
[SPEAKER_03]: The cheaters are dead right you guys remember I love this issue.
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like this issues is the one where it's really clicked in on the tone of like
[SPEAKER_02]: This Thor character, who is like, not Thor, but we all know is definitely Thor.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got to be the hammerware.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the hammerware.
[SPEAKER_01]: Nobody can work a hammer like this guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's unbelievable what's happening with this.
[SPEAKER_02]: I said this on the live show, but a guy who's like, he's got a hammer on a bungee cord, and I was like, I can't get on board with this as he from a hearer point of view.
[SPEAKER_02]: And now I am.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a fantastic joke in here.
[SPEAKER_01]: by the does is good can make commit to the dark part keep talking look at the dark keep talking keep talking Pete why don't you talk about this book while Justin beauty taking her to his dog what are you talking about this well i i think this is fun and you know this is exactly what it's like to take a taxi in New York City i think they really captured it so well you know
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you mean a haywagon in country bumpking town or everywhere?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, calm down.
[SPEAKER_03]: Pete saw the movie Taxi with Queen Latifa.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so he was all about Taxi.
[SPEAKER_03]: Great movie men.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like that because there are two references you could make, Taxi driver, Taxi, and Alex, you made the right one.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're talking about Pete here.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is great.
[SPEAKER_03]: The art is gorgeous.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like you guys said, the action is a lot of fun.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love this mystery about whether this is Thor or not to the point that I kind of think maybe it isn't Thor.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's going to be another twist there, but I guess we'll see.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love that there's a joke in here where the girl that are almost Thor is hooking up with is going to work.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you remember the name of the restaurant?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's OGI Mondays, I think, oh God, it's Monday, which I think is best joke of the week from the back.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh man, maybe a sense for Garfield Hates Mondays or maybe that's not the letters.
[SPEAKER_03]: Letters are on.
[SPEAKER_03]: Start track deviations.
[SPEAKER_03]: Threads of destiny, number one for IDW written by Stephanie Williams, art by Gregory Maldonado.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is focusing on the old school original Star Trek crew, go to a strange planet that is full of time doors or hera falls through one of them and where does she fall right in the middle of the civil rights movement and meets none other than Martin Luther King.
[SPEAKER_03]: So.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is, yeah, that's what happens in the issue.
[SPEAKER_03]: The only other thing that I was going to say is the art style is very old school.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not exactly the same, but it's almost adjacent to the old Star Trek animated series.
[SPEAKER_03]: If anything, it's kind of what it looks like.
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought this was really cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not the sort of thing I would expect in comic book form, but if fit right in with the original series, having your meat, Martin Luther King is a cool idea.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I imagine this is a black history about the book most likely, so it ties in really nice lives to that, paying tribute to at least two icons.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I thought it was a really beautiful story, love the ending, so touching, so powerful.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I just thought it was such a great use of the Star Trek characters.
[SPEAKER_01]: Really great art, a nice timing on a beautiful story.
[SPEAKER_02]: Really felt like a original series Star Trek episode.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like they did a great job.
[SPEAKER_02]: The look is like you said they animated series.
[SPEAKER_02]: But wow, did this feel like.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, someone just came up with this idea where there's a weirdo who controls America's time in his bonnet and they just hang out with him and then leave.
[SPEAKER_03]: Last but not least, Whickin' Witches Road, number three from Marvel by Waikennity, Art by Andy Perrera in this issue, Whickin' has discovered the demmy urge, a God-like being who connects to the Earth, and he discovers another witch as well who wants that power, which I think about this.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I thought this was fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: Love the art style, a fun kind of borders along the panels of the comic, fun, wicked, which team up.
[SPEAKER_01]: I also like the Scarlet Witch and Storm part.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is a nice cool comic, great art.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's got a touching kind of like all kind of feel to it.
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I love this.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like Bobby Yaga as a villain.
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, the art is nice, the way that they are touching on the other parts of the Marvel Universe when I didn't expect them to with this, I thought this is going to be very much sort of like the Agatha TV series, just like a full full work journey on the Witches Road.
[SPEAKER_02]: And instead we're actually doing a bunch of other stuff so that's cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you guys think it's weird at all?
[SPEAKER_03]: I know we have a gotten there, but Bobby Aga is gonna be the villain also in the magic and Colossus series.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's weird that Marvel is pushing Bobby Aga so hard, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I feel like that has to be like just a creative coincidence.
[SPEAKER_02]: It makes sense because it's also a Russian mythological character that leads to new John Wick movies.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's sort of a...
[SPEAKER_01]: Different Bobby Aga.
[SPEAKER_01]: Still they say Baba Yaga though.
[SPEAKER_01]: They do.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, that's just cool to say.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's wicked and then you know John Wick and Baba Yaga.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Pete really making a point.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, Kasey closed Pete speaking of the Supreme Court Wicked sounds like wick my press my case Forget about a dick Jones mystery talk about a piece of the page Mr. Yeah, the greatest world's greatest detective suck it Batman
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a great note to add, Dodd, if you'd like to... That's all right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if everyone listens all the way down, but we always end on suck it back.
