WEBVTT

00:08.570 --> 00:09.431
[SPEAKER_03]: What's up everybody?

00:09.471 --> 00:10.432
[SPEAKER_03]: Welcome to the stack.

00:10.572 --> 00:11.253
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm Alex.

00:11.494 --> 00:12.074
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm Justin.

00:12.455 --> 00:12.875
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm Pete.

00:13.256 --> 00:14.237
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm the stack.

00:14.257 --> 00:16.860
[SPEAKER_03]: We talk about a bunch of books that have come out today.

00:16.920 --> 00:20.405
[SPEAKER_03]: We review them and they were relentless about it.

00:20.505 --> 00:22.127
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, we go book to book.

00:22.227 --> 00:25.671
[SPEAKER_04]: We don't waste a second of our time on this.

00:26.032 --> 00:28.715
[SPEAKER_03]: It's time for that to get to happen through it.

00:29.176 --> 00:31.679
[SPEAKER_03]: That's, we, we, we got on before this call.

00:31.899 --> 00:37.446
[SPEAKER_03]: I think we had a, if I recall, a very long discussion about snapping through it.

00:37.426 --> 00:40.415
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's the watch very, yeah, exactly.

00:40.536 --> 00:43.585
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what everyone loves it when you snap their fingers at you.

00:43.605 --> 00:46.554
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, stop annoying our audio listeners, please.

00:46.875 --> 00:47.537
[SPEAKER_01]: Pete.

00:48.040 --> 00:49.462
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not going to do it.

00:49.883 --> 00:50.964
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm not going to do it.

00:50.984 --> 00:51.826
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to do it.

00:51.846 --> 00:56.232
[SPEAKER_03]: You told me you hypnotized Pete and when I did that, he'd start barking like a chicken.

00:56.292 --> 00:57.734
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, he's going to do it.

00:57.754 --> 00:58.456
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll take a chicken.

00:58.716 --> 01:01.220
[SPEAKER_03]: Like a ghost chicken, like a headless ghost chicken.

01:01.420 --> 01:02.802
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, you're jumping ahead of it.

01:02.842 --> 01:07.369
[SPEAKER_03]: We're not even there yet because first we're talking about absolute Batman number 18 from DC Comics.

01:07.970 --> 01:10.313
[SPEAKER_03]: My Scott Snyder, art by Eric Kinetti.

01:10.333 --> 01:12.376
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the second part of a two part arc.

01:12.396 --> 01:16.883
[SPEAKER_03]: Introducing the absolute rubber poison IV, who is an absolute nightmare.

01:16.863 --> 01:24.216
[SPEAKER_03]: at the same time we are jumping from time to see what's going on with Martha Wayne and the new court of owls.

01:24.717 --> 01:32.169
[SPEAKER_03]: Also Bruce check it in on his family leading to a bit of an emotional status quote change by the end of the day.

01:32.190 --> 01:32.751
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you.

01:32.771 --> 01:34.213
[SPEAKER_03]: Now.

01:34.193 --> 01:57.501
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll just say in our comic book club discord without calling anybody else there's been I think a bit of consternation about this event discord i do feel like the tide has turned a little bit against this title at least in our discord some people are very positive about it some people are very negative um how are you feeling after this issue guys

01:57.987 --> 02:03.294
[SPEAKER_01]: I heard this one was a real shot in the stomach a little bit, you know?

02:03.314 --> 02:08.622
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, one is your mom named Martha too, because that's the only way I could identify with your feelings.

02:08.642 --> 02:09.663
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, no.

02:09.683 --> 02:15.091
[SPEAKER_03]: I started this podcast because our name, mother's names were all Martha, Pete.

02:15.111 --> 02:17.254
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that has to be true, Pete or else.

02:17.735 --> 02:20.198
[SPEAKER_01]: No, sorry, it's not true.

02:20.431 --> 02:26.220
[SPEAKER_01]: I, yeah, I just think that the, you know, I mean, I get it like this is a different Batman.

02:26.240 --> 02:33.993
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a different book kind of seeing the choices Batman is making is, it's almost upsetting.

02:34.053 --> 02:40.684
[SPEAKER_01]: I would say borderline upsetting, it's just your, your shock, you're like this, you know, you're kind of saying things like, well,

02:40.664 --> 03:08.275
[SPEAKER_01]: this is not the Batman that I like like I get that this is the absolute Batman and he has an ax on his checks and he's hardcore and more yoke than we've ever seen him but I'd still like him underneath all that to be the Batman that I root for and if you're just gonna kind of do cold shit like this I can understand why maybe people would be upset or maybe want to

03:09.200 --> 03:19.174
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I think he's just not, he's not capable of dealing with his living parent, you know, and like, I think that's the twist, that's the extremity there I think.

03:19.314 --> 03:28.067
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the hard thing, though, though, like even that sentence hurt my soul because it's like, you have a parent back, you know what I mean?

03:28.087 --> 03:37.620
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, this is crazy, this is a cool twist, this is something we've never seen before, and you're just going to delete that message, you cold, son of a bitch, you're going to delete

03:37.600 --> 03:47.205
[SPEAKER_03]: That's just to give a little bit of context here and I think I said spoiler warning earlier but just in case not spoiler warning for all of these books that we're going to be talking about.

03:47.776 --> 04:14.492
[SPEAKER_03]: It seems very clear that this arc is about Bruce realizing that if the city is going to embrace him as a symbol, he must purely become that symbol and give up his heart and give up everything except that man.

04:14.472 --> 04:20.059
[SPEAKER_03]: is he deletes a message from his mother letting go of that for himself.

04:20.300 --> 04:22.402
[SPEAKER_03]: I know, I'm barking like a dog, bad.

04:22.462 --> 04:23.724
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I hear you, Jasper.

04:23.744 --> 04:24.345
[SPEAKER_03]: I agree.

04:24.886 --> 04:25.627
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

04:25.647 --> 04:26.488
[SPEAKER_01]: I really like this.

04:26.848 --> 04:28.991
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say I'm pretty positive on this book.

04:29.372 --> 04:36.020
[SPEAKER_01]: So you like your Batman just shooting people in the heart and deleting messages like they mean nothing to him that your Batman?

04:36.080 --> 04:40.446
[SPEAKER_03]: What I like is good stories that are well told and that's what I believe this is.

04:40.814 --> 04:52.874
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, and I think, you know, I understand some of the reaction to this book because it's hard to have all this extremity, like every aspect of this book is extreme on purpose.

04:53.075 --> 04:54.337
[SPEAKER_04]: That's sort of the intention here.

04:54.938 --> 05:00.367
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think it's hard to just sustain that and be like, uh, uh, put this poison eye to be so extreme.

05:00.708 --> 05:02.030
[SPEAKER_04]: That means reaction to extreme.

05:02.110 --> 05:06.197
[SPEAKER_04]: The mom being alive is in itself an extreme choice.

05:06.177 --> 05:13.213
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm curious if they, and the art is also extreme, that it's very intense, busy, big, like, grotesque in a lot of ways.

05:14.035 --> 05:23.697
[SPEAKER_04]: I do think I'd be curious if they shook it up, and the next villain Batman faces, if it's like, the ventriloquist, and he just has like a slightly larger hat on.

05:25.432 --> 05:40.437
[SPEAKER_04]: you know what or if the toy man is just like no i actually just went to um ethical instead of Cornell it's a very slight difference you know what i mean i mean we don't but i could wait difference to pay difference nobody would know about that

05:40.518 --> 05:42.462
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, who could, who could weigh in?

05:42.482 --> 05:44.627
[SPEAKER_03]: Who could possibly tell the difference?

05:44.687 --> 05:45.409
[SPEAKER_04]: Who could tell the difference?

05:45.429 --> 05:48.475
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, a person that went to, if the kind of person went to Cornell, I can't.

05:49.377 --> 05:52.003
[SPEAKER_04]: One has a beard and one doesn't, but that's all I know.

05:52.043 --> 05:53.567
[SPEAKER_04]: That's also not always true.

05:53.607 --> 05:56.012
[SPEAKER_04]: Alex, if that is your name.

05:55.992 --> 05:57.214
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, exactly.

05:57.655 --> 06:19.228
[SPEAKER_04]: The, but I'm saying, like, I'd be curious if they, if Scott and Nick or whoever they are Eric in this case, where to take a break from the extremity and what, how the book would change because, again, I think I like it, I like that this is the flavor of this book.

06:19.348 --> 06:22.793
[SPEAKER_04]: This is your Mountain Dew Code Red of Batman.

06:22.773 --> 06:44.427
[SPEAKER_01]: and so yeah I guess he has to be like this because he is in this absolute universe and he doesn't have to be hard core I he doesn't have to be okay well I mean that's the direction we're going you know I mean yeah it's Alfred tells him this issue I'm forgetting the exact type but he's like you're six foot nine and four hundred pounds and I'm like yeah all right that's the concept that's the book

06:44.407 --> 06:54.521
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the thing that was throwing people that I saw is the multiple timelines going on in this arc, which is a lot more to deal with than usual.

06:54.561 --> 06:57.866
[SPEAKER_03]: Like it's often balancing two timelines here.

06:58.487 --> 07:01.371
[SPEAKER_03]: We've got Martha, Otter Quarter Vales, Quest.

07:01.411 --> 07:03.193
[SPEAKER_03]: We've got Bruce talking to his friends.

07:03.274 --> 07:05.757
[SPEAKER_03]: We've also got the flashbacks with Poison Ivy.

07:05.737 --> 07:13.007
[SPEAKER_03]: We've also got the current stuff with Poison Ivy, so there's a lot of stuff happening all at once, but it works for me.

07:13.187 --> 07:24.522
[SPEAKER_03]: It feels like this propulsive thrumming that's going on, like these things are all exactly what you're talking about, Justin, that everything is always happening all the time, all this pressure,

07:24.502 --> 07:32.017
[SPEAKER_03]: is down on Bruce leading to a final page that is a big wide open splash page.

07:32.037 --> 07:39.451
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think that's the idea that it just keeps pushing and pushing until he finds this new status quote for himself.

07:39.752 --> 07:41.295
[SPEAKER_01]: But, and I don't know.

07:41.275 --> 07:42.076
[SPEAKER_01]: Why were there?

07:42.156 --> 07:50.184
[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted that epic, you know, we've seen a lot of Batman on the roof kind of panels, but this is like up there.

07:51.466 --> 07:55.870
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a really impressive epic-looking panel of Batman on top of the roof.

07:56.671 --> 08:02.637
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's quite a different feeling, you know, I've been on the roofs with Batman many years, but this feels different.

08:02.697 --> 08:06.902
[SPEAKER_01]: So whether Batman maybe five?

08:06.922 --> 08:08.363
[SPEAKER_04]: That was a bit,

08:08.512 --> 08:11.076
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, you're on the roof with a bat.

08:11.096 --> 08:13.199
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the zookeeper was like, please get down.

08:13.599 --> 08:15.602
[SPEAKER_04]: This is not your nest is to be in here, sir.

08:16.003 --> 08:16.383
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

08:16.423 --> 08:16.664
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

08:16.684 --> 08:19.488
[SPEAKER_03]: This is this is the dark room of the zoo.

08:20.389 --> 08:32.006
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, all that shenanigans aside, I'm interested to see if it keeps getting, if this bat man keeps getting darker, or if he is going to kind of pull himself back from this ledge a little bit.

08:32.546 --> 08:32.927
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think so.

08:32.967 --> 08:37.894
[SPEAKER_04]: Where do you guys delete messages from your mom on a roof,

08:38.093 --> 08:39.838
[SPEAKER_03]: I would never.

08:40.620 --> 08:43.388
[SPEAKER_03]: I usually have to get up high in a roof so I can get service.

08:45.093 --> 08:46.136
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what Batman's doing.

08:46.416 --> 08:49.485
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'll turn the phone on service.

08:49.926 --> 08:51.370
[SPEAKER_02]: It's dark side, dark sides.

08:51.431 --> 08:52.554
[SPEAKER_02]: It's remembering to be my end.

08:53.095 --> 08:53.757
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway.

08:53.821 --> 09:00.331
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, what do we want to talk about a Marvel comic book, X-Men United number one written by Evel Ewing art by T.A.

09:00.351 --> 09:02.655
[SPEAKER_03]: Go, Palma, what are you showing off their feet?

09:02.675 --> 09:04.457
[SPEAKER_03]: I got a Wolverine T shirt on.

09:05.299 --> 09:09.786
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought you had to, did you show that where we were talking about Godzilla on the previous podcast?

09:10.106 --> 09:10.286
[SPEAKER_03]: Nope.

09:11.048 --> 09:12.730
[SPEAKER_03]: Who's when you were talking about X-Men?

09:13.531 --> 09:14.232
[SPEAKER_03]: No, okay.

09:14.293 --> 09:16.416
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, I just didn't influence the movement.

09:16.436 --> 09:17.337
[SPEAKER_03]: You just lift that up.

09:17.397 --> 09:19.120
[SPEAKER_03]: You lift your tits up when you're, uh,

09:20.163 --> 09:20.844
[SPEAKER_03]: when you're talking.

09:20.884 --> 09:22.267
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the way we talk about it.

09:23.109 --> 09:24.572
[SPEAKER_04]: That's those of the words we say.

09:24.592 --> 09:26.155
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're out there, just lift your dits.

09:26.455 --> 09:27.477
[SPEAKER_01]: You'll give them a breather.

09:28.920 --> 09:29.601
[SPEAKER_04]: Give them a breather.

09:29.862 --> 09:30.223
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

09:30.543 --> 09:30.884
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

09:31.886 --> 09:33.008
[SPEAKER_04]: I get the under swept.

09:34.068 --> 09:35.390
[SPEAKER_03]: we know we're talking about.

09:35.611 --> 09:36.713
[SPEAKER_03]: I really like this book.

09:37.033 --> 09:41.281
[SPEAKER_03]: I will say I'll even go as far to say this is the X-Men book I've been waiting for.

09:41.421 --> 09:43.966
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm booted from the cracoa era.

09:44.527 --> 09:49.916
[SPEAKER_03]: Emma Frost establishes a school of the mind and everybody has invited.

09:50.397 --> 09:54.524
[SPEAKER_03]: So you get the full X-Men cast from all the different books teaching different disciplines.

09:54.544 --> 09:56.548
[SPEAKER_03]: We get a lot of young X-Men as well.

09:56.528 --> 10:06.130
[SPEAKER_03]: And, wouldn't you know, the villain here, at least in this first issue, is Scott Summers, who's like, very rightly, mind you, like, this always goes wrong.

10:06.250 --> 10:07.493
[SPEAKER_03]: This always goes terribly.

10:07.853 --> 10:11.381
[SPEAKER_03]: There's going to be a trader either with anger, without there's going to be a problem.

10:11.842 --> 10:12.865
[SPEAKER_03]: This is bad news.

10:13.506 --> 10:14.368
[SPEAKER_03]: But,

10:14.348 --> 10:16.551
[SPEAKER_03]: He takes it way too far by the end of the issue.

10:17.112 --> 10:24.923
[SPEAKER_03]: What I loved about this is this, it is very soothing to get the X-Men back at a school atmosphere.

10:25.484 --> 10:30.331
[SPEAKER_03]: I love seeing the exceptional X-Men kids who evil-uying wrote previously.

10:30.351 --> 10:32.574
[SPEAKER_03]: This is very clearly a direct continuation of that.

10:32.994 --> 10:35.918
[SPEAKER_03]: Get a pumped up to two X, which I thought was fun.

10:35.959 --> 10:38.182
[SPEAKER_03]: They're sophomores in this program.

10:38.562 --> 10:42.668
[SPEAKER_03]: You still have the younger, newer X-Men are coming in as well, the students.

10:42.648 --> 10:48.114
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, and you have the requisite drama and everybody has a long deep history is with each other.

10:48.154 --> 10:53.401
[SPEAKER_03]: This is what I read X-bed for and I got all those vibes I wanted out of this issue.

10:54.402 --> 10:55.103
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, same.

10:55.303 --> 11:02.131
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, to me, like, I, this is the perfect premise for a reset X-Men book.

11:02.231 --> 11:09.820
[SPEAKER_04]: And I don't know what the timeline of when the idea was conceived, but I feel like you're saying this should have been the first book out of the stands.

11:09.800 --> 11:18.553
[SPEAKER_04]: where it's sort of like, let's touch on all the X-Men without a lot of their baggage from their individual books because the tones are so different.

11:18.934 --> 11:23.220
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think you need this unifying book to sort of be like, here's the state of the X-Men.

11:23.661 --> 11:33.175
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's get some characters that we all like talking to each other a little bit to sort of re-establish a vibe, the networking a little bit, before we go off and like,

11:33.155 --> 11:41.044
[SPEAKER_04]: some of the X-Men are down under the earth in like a dystopian 20th century mutant New Orleans.

11:41.926 --> 11:48.093
[SPEAKER_04]: While X, while the sky is just mad in Alaska because it's cold and he lives in a metal house that is a body.

11:48.914 --> 11:58.926
[SPEAKER_04]: So like I'm that's all to say I'm very excited about this and I like this as just an ongoing home for good status quo X-Men stories.

11:59.682 --> 12:02.706
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was also surprised how much I liked this.

12:03.146 --> 12:04.988
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Scott is the worst.

12:05.309 --> 12:05.989
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god.

12:06.070 --> 12:12.257
[SPEAKER_01]: He was so annoying and Other than that though, I was having a blast.

12:12.277 --> 12:19.966
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought the you know He does have some points, but you know, you don't have to be such a douche about it You know what I mean?

12:20.146 --> 12:29.217
[SPEAKER_01]: It's important to try things and and fail and all that kind of stuff You don't have me or Scott Scott Okay, also you

12:29.922 --> 12:33.450
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you totally try things as well.

12:34.132 --> 12:37.559
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I'm glad you guys like this as well.

12:37.700 --> 12:43.032
[SPEAKER_03]: Why don't we move on to this week's hot image comic book, Tigris Tigris Island.

12:43.052 --> 12:43.774
[SPEAKER_03]: Tigris Island?

12:44.195 --> 12:44.936
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's Tigris.

12:45.017 --> 12:47.863
[SPEAKER_03]: You always say Tigris, but I think that's wrong.

12:47.843 --> 12:49.545
[SPEAKER_03]: Tigris Island No.

12:49.565 --> 12:53.129
[SPEAKER_03]: 1, written by Patrick Kinnlin, art by EPHK.

12:53.149 --> 13:03.301
[SPEAKER_03]: We haven't really talked about this with the stack podcast too much, but there's been this weird thing going on an image where every week, one of their new titles that otherwise mostly people haven't heard of, completely sells out.

13:03.441 --> 13:04.963
[SPEAKER_03]: They're like, wow, what a huge success.

13:05.524 --> 13:07.426
[SPEAKER_03]: There's been some good journalism going on.

13:07.446 --> 13:11.691
[SPEAKER_03]: I think there was a piece on the beat where they wrote about this being like, yeah, they're probably

13:11.671 --> 13:15.778
[SPEAKER_03]: under or not under ordering them, but like under selling them.

13:15.939 --> 13:19.345
[SPEAKER_03]: So there's not enough copies going out so they could say they could be sold.

13:19.425 --> 13:21.389
[SPEAKER_03]: But ultimately, the book is good.

13:21.429 --> 13:22.090
[SPEAKER_03]: What does matter?

13:22.511 --> 13:24.715
[SPEAKER_03]: And here we're getting a riff on exploitation.

13:24.775 --> 13:30.405
[SPEAKER_03]: Thriller is as a bunch of women who've not quite reached the peak of their career.

13:30.385 --> 13:34.975
[SPEAKER_03]: are taken to the titular island and thrown in this island prison for unknown reasons.

13:35.977 --> 13:39.885
[SPEAKER_03]: Very stylish, very different looking book, but what did you think about it?

13:39.905 --> 13:43.753
[SPEAKER_03]: Is it worth being this week's hot image title?

13:44.864 --> 14:03.666
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I don't know about a wildly popular speculation market comic, it's cool when you find success like that, but I didn't enjoy this, I think the story's cool, I like the stylistic choice of the art, it really doesn't pull any punches, it feels like it's

14:03.646 --> 14:11.408
[SPEAKER_04]: It's right on the line of like Charlie's Angels, like more cheesecakey comics, but it never goes that way.

14:11.448 --> 14:18.769
[SPEAKER_04]: It always makes the harder choice and like puts them in a more intense situation and I think that's cool.

14:19.610 --> 14:23.155
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I really think the the arts the hero here.

14:23.375 --> 14:26.660
[SPEAKER_01]: I love this kind of like funky kind of vibe.

14:26.680 --> 14:29.143
[SPEAKER_01]: It's got going on, love the colors and the shading.

14:29.504 --> 14:30.365
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure.

14:30.385 --> 14:39.958
[SPEAKER_03]: I like the premise, but it's, well, a Pete, are you pro-emprisoning women on an island or anti-emprisoning?

14:40.239 --> 14:42.001
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm anti, okay.

14:42.061 --> 14:43.183
[SPEAKER_03]: So that might be the problem.

14:43.543 --> 14:46.848
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

14:47.629 --> 14:48.570
[SPEAKER_04]: There you go.

14:49.985 --> 14:59.840
[SPEAKER_03]: So what what do you am presenting that actually what was the name of that island he used to spend a lot of time on it I don't know Coney No, it wasn't that it started with a deal.

14:59.880 --> 15:00.541
[SPEAKER_03]: It's something out.

15:00.561 --> 15:02.184
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, let's start with it anyway.

15:02.224 --> 15:10.677
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll remember later at the podcast I General or someone else well You know, yeah, I cover it

15:13.002 --> 15:14.484
[SPEAKER_03]: I generally like this book.

15:14.825 --> 15:18.231
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought maybe it could have gotten to the premise given that that's the title of the book.

15:18.311 --> 15:19.553
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe on a little quicker.

15:19.833 --> 15:21.697
[SPEAKER_03]: We don't really get there until the end of the issue.

15:21.757 --> 15:24.842
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, occasionally, it's a little hard to tell some of the characters apart.

15:25.283 --> 15:33.897
[SPEAKER_03]: I think because they're all these like smooth, round-faced, kupy doll is probably the wrong thing I'm thinking of, but

15:34.383 --> 15:34.884
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

15:34.904 --> 15:35.985
[SPEAKER_04]: Art styles, which yours.

15:36.186 --> 15:36.386
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

15:36.446 --> 15:40.792
[SPEAKER_03]: The art style makes it a little hard to tell some of the ones that figures are represented.

15:40.812 --> 15:41.072
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

15:41.473 --> 15:49.344
[SPEAKER_03]: It makes it particularly hard because there's a reveal at the end of the book where somebody is like, you're doing this thing and I was like, I don't know which one that is yet.

15:49.424 --> 15:50.005
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry.

15:50.045 --> 15:58.737
[SPEAKER_03]: This is not impactful for me, but I'm still intrigued enough to read the second issue because this does make some bold choices.

15:59.122 --> 16:00.405
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

16:00.425 --> 16:05.916
[SPEAKER_03]: Exorcism at Buckingham Palace, number one from IDW written by Hannah Rose May, Art by Kelsey Ramsey.

16:06.337 --> 16:15.696
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a sequel series to the Exorcism at 1600 Pen, which per that name was about a dramatic possession inside the White House here we're going over to England.

16:16.418 --> 16:22.386
[SPEAKER_03]: We don't know exactly if it's the same sort of demonic possession or not yet by the end of the issue.

16:22.546 --> 16:32.119
[SPEAKER_03]: It does take place in the same world because there are some phone calls with the president from the previous series, but it does keep the idea of there's something demonic going on.

16:32.219 --> 16:38.408
[SPEAKER_03]: It is it a house of state and it is a family drama first and foremost and just like the first series.

16:39.028 --> 16:42.493
[SPEAKER_03]: I really dug the first series and one of the heroes there was

16:42.473 --> 16:44.455
[SPEAKER_03]: having Vanessa tell Ray on art.

16:44.555 --> 16:51.681
[SPEAKER_03]: So it was a little nervous that we're getting the same writer, but switching artists, what did you guys think about this sequel?

16:56.146 --> 16:57.827
[SPEAKER_04]: I was really surprised by this.

16:58.087 --> 17:00.950
[SPEAKER_04]: It feels quite different from that book.

17:01.230 --> 17:03.873
[SPEAKER_04]: It's for it to be like a sequel, but I did like it.

17:04.093 --> 17:10.759
[SPEAKER_04]: It really embraces the royal family, like the

17:10.739 --> 17:15.687
[SPEAKER_04]: The previous book was very, very like, America, a family, slightly estranged.

17:16.228 --> 17:19.093
[SPEAKER_04]: This approaches it in purely lineage fashion.

17:19.393 --> 17:22.639
[SPEAKER_04]: They take for granted everyone's estranged because it's like, well, no, and talks to anybody.

17:22.739 --> 17:23.640
[SPEAKER_04]: And, of course, it's England.

17:24.241 --> 17:25.704
[SPEAKER_04]: And I was like, oh, that's, that's cool.

17:25.924 --> 17:31.313
[SPEAKER_04]: It feels like a hard restart with the same tone and

17:31.293 --> 17:32.677
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe plot progression.

17:32.737 --> 17:39.916
[SPEAKER_04]: This one feels darker, though, and already by the end of this first issue, I was like, wow, that was pretty fucked up pretty fast.

17:40.739 --> 17:43.987
[SPEAKER_04]: And I made me think that there are no rules.

17:44.088 --> 17:47.597
[SPEAKER_04]: There's not been an established rule set that were bringing into this comic.

17:48.185 --> 17:52.994
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't, I feel like there could maybe not be a single ghost in this comic.

17:53.014 --> 17:53.355
[SPEAKER_03]: What?

17:54.257 --> 17:59.287
[SPEAKER_03]: I appreciated that Hannah Rose may took a swing to go in another direction here.

17:59.307 --> 18:03.595
[SPEAKER_03]: It could have been the exact same thing again, or the president being like,

18:03.575 --> 18:30.038
[SPEAKER_03]: Let me tell you about these demons and that might still happen at some point in the book, but like you're saying just in This did feel appreciably different, and I think that's very smartly done for doing a side quote if you will Yeah, I do like the art I don't think it's quite as strong as Vanessa Del Rey just because Vanessa Torres is one of the best artists working today But it's still good and it matches the dark tone of the book

18:30.018 --> 18:51.621
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it has that creepy factor, I think that this kind of thing calls for, I thought the twists and turns were fun, and tense last panel, just does such a great job of capturing the tension and showing you kind of where the badness is and that kind of stuff, but it is, yeah, it's a different vibe, but

18:52.630 --> 19:16.826
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, you would almost think they would want to keep that art for this, but I still like you said Alex enjoyed the art and you guys are both such royal family heads, oh, yeah, don't get me started on Kate yeah Queen Elizabeth the third what's up King Henry the eighth I am nice look look look at you guys really stepping into it.

19:17.126 --> 19:18.368
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah

19:18.550 --> 19:19.875
[SPEAKER_04]: I was in London when the queen died.

19:20.517 --> 19:20.899
[SPEAKER_04]: What?

19:20.939 --> 19:21.381
[SPEAKER_04]: Related.

19:21.782 --> 19:23.488
[SPEAKER_03]: What?

19:23.830 --> 19:24.492
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

19:25.396 --> 19:26.098
[SPEAKER_03]: Say more.

19:26.118 --> 19:27.684
[SPEAKER_03]: Say more, Justin.

19:27.764 --> 19:28.266
[SPEAKER_04]: I was there.

19:28.286 --> 19:29.792
[SPEAKER_04]: I showed up.

19:29.907 --> 19:31.088
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I'm good.

19:31.108 --> 19:33.330
[SPEAKER_04]: She was carried out by corky and killed herself.

19:33.350 --> 19:39.116
[SPEAKER_03]: She looked out the window and bucketed up pounds and slid her on saw you and was like killed over I had words.

19:39.156 --> 19:45.142
[SPEAKER_04]: I had a little word because some words were there and she was like that guy made a lot of good points Dan and then died.

19:45.403 --> 19:48.165
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know bro She's that's dark sometimes.

19:48.185 --> 19:54.632
[SPEAKER_04]: You need a great outline You know and you need to just great edit point, you know, and she was like the great blackout

19:55.928 --> 19:58.255
[SPEAKER_03]: So there's a good hard movie here.

19:58.676 --> 20:00.482
[SPEAKER_03]: Villain is the editor.

20:00.522 --> 20:02.087
[SPEAKER_03]: And it reminds me.

20:02.247 --> 20:03.852
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like runs across and edits.

20:03.872 --> 20:04.674
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you die?

20:04.715 --> 20:05.738
[SPEAKER_03]: That's really funny.

20:06.981 --> 20:08.125
[SPEAKER_03]: Let it sad me tonight.

20:09.449 --> 20:10.191
[SPEAKER_03]: No.

20:11.032 --> 20:38.187
[SPEAKER_03]: uh... i would just try to do some steps up uh... absolutely green lantern number twelve from dc comics written by all uing art by jinoi linsey cid codian and pressy this has all of our uh... green lantern characters all teaming up to fight a black letter and i guess obsidian not one hundred percent clear on what obsidian is but it is that kind of funny shape there is funny shape uh...

20:38.167 --> 20:39.630
[SPEAKER_03]: Justin you love this book.

20:40.170 --> 20:40.892
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Justin.

20:41.393 --> 20:42.735
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, like how weird it is.

20:42.935 --> 20:57.981
[SPEAKER_04]: And you know what I miss the character of Joe and this Joe's a little bit different from our Main universe Joe, but I really like her and when this book sort of really pivoted toward her a couple of issues back, I think it really came alive.

20:57.961 --> 21:04.388
[SPEAKER_04]: And I've been having her as an anchor character, really helps let the weirdness pop around her.

21:04.929 --> 21:09.294
[SPEAKER_04]: We get a reveal a couple of reveals in the back end of this book that I thought were fun.

21:10.475 --> 21:16.502
[SPEAKER_04]: And I give credit to Al for really being like, I'll just, I can do all this spectrum stuff at once I get it.

21:17.002 --> 21:18.003
[SPEAKER_04]: And then he just is.

21:18.384 --> 21:21.027
[SPEAKER_04]: He's just dialing it up and down when he needs to.

21:21.427 --> 21:23.850
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, shout out to Al, you know what I mean?

21:25.518 --> 21:27.661
[SPEAKER_04]: and the other thoughts?

21:27.801 --> 21:29.883
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, he's down to shout outs.

21:29.903 --> 21:34.009
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I thought really fun last panel, great art and action.

21:34.930 --> 21:39.135
[SPEAKER_01]: I love this team, this team that they have working together here as cool.

21:39.856 --> 21:41.919
[SPEAKER_01]: Excited to see Joe always.

21:42.900 --> 21:44.382
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I like this.

21:44.742 --> 21:47.285
[SPEAKER_01]: And I like the pacing of it.

21:47.345 --> 21:48.707
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a tight package.

21:49.227 --> 21:51.430
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm really enjoying it as well.

21:51.691 --> 21:57.219
[SPEAKER_03]: It is completely different and like Justin you and I talked to while you were going about back at New York Comic-Cod.

21:57.880 --> 22:00.023
[SPEAKER_01]: It's sometimes like he just calls him out.

22:00.564 --> 22:02.787
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I call him Mr. Ewing.

22:03.288 --> 22:14.045
[SPEAKER_03]: It breaks your brain a little bit to have all of these different green ledger things, all of the same place at the same time, but all remixed where I'm like that thing is like that other thing.

22:14.245 --> 22:15.707
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm spending a lot of time doing that.

22:15.687 --> 22:28.087
[SPEAKER_03]: But that's not fair to the book because I think the story itself is propulsive, it's fun, and I really am enjoying it, particularly in this issue how Jordan's anime hair very good, very tall, strong choice.

22:28.687 --> 22:41.087
[SPEAKER_03]: Imperial Guardians, number one, from Marvel Written by Dan Abdon, Art by Mercello, for Rara, this is spitting out of Imperial, everybody's favorite recent Marvel event, and

22:41.067 --> 22:52.698
[SPEAKER_03]: Specifically, this is a black ops team of Guardians working for Maximus the mad that features Captain Marvel and Gamora, who is now back alive because it turns out Cosmic Coast writer.

22:52.738 --> 22:57.763
[SPEAKER_03]: If he kills people, he could bring the back to life, same thing with Dark Hawk, also on the dance shows there.

22:58.604 --> 23:06.472
[SPEAKER_03]: I did mention Cosmic Coast writer and who goes by Francis when really it's Frank Castle.

23:06.492 --> 23:10.095
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I gotta tell you, I've enjoyed some stuff with

23:10.835 --> 23:17.924
[SPEAKER_03]: that is they even make fun of it in this issue where they're like, yes, too much stuff, yes, yes, it is, too, it's still too much stuff, even if you make fun of it.

23:18.505 --> 23:26.254
[SPEAKER_04]: That's well, it was a joke in a, it didn't donnie case create this character as a bit, and now it's like, yeah, we think he's cool.

23:26.455 --> 23:27.917
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's like, that's comics.

23:27.937 --> 23:34.665
[SPEAKER_04]: There's nothing more comics being like, now this is cool, and I, I'm on board, and I'm on board with this book.

23:35.168 --> 23:44.722
[SPEAKER_04]: It's an Imperial was one of the messier crossovers of late that felt like I couldn't tell you much about it and I read every word on the page.

23:44.742 --> 23:48.207
[SPEAKER_04]: So this coming out of that, it doesn't get caught in the mirror.

23:48.948 --> 23:54.637
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a nice storytelling format where we get some talking head moments that the characters can be fun and funny.

23:54.917 --> 24:04.551
[SPEAKER_04]: It's got a little bit of the old Guardians tone, a little reverent while featuring characters that are absolutely mired in continuity in a way

24:04.531 --> 24:05.873
[SPEAKER_04]: they are making fun of.

24:06.213 --> 24:07.996
[SPEAKER_04]: And when they call it out, it makes me feel good.

24:09.518 --> 24:09.798
[SPEAKER_01]: Nice.

24:10.419 --> 24:17.069
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I felt like this was a little talky, but fun team did love the action where there was action.

24:17.089 --> 24:20.954
[SPEAKER_01]: And I feel like once this starts cooking, I'll get into it.

24:21.034 --> 24:28.024
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I know Cosmic Coast writers were ridiculous, but just seeing them like, oh, that's cool.

24:28.685 --> 24:29.847
[SPEAKER_04]: That's your favorite punish room.

24:30.653 --> 24:31.394
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, about that.

24:32.094 --> 24:34.497
[SPEAKER_03]: I got to say, I found this little overpacked.

24:34.837 --> 24:40.823
[SPEAKER_03]: I like Dan Abbott, but there was too much going on on every single page.

24:41.023 --> 24:42.885
[SPEAKER_03]: And there are bits of this that I liked.

24:43.565 --> 24:46.188
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought the stuff with the Maximus, the man, was interesting.

24:46.348 --> 24:50.292
[SPEAKER_03]: I like the fact that they're not being totally fooled by working with him.

24:50.572 --> 24:52.894
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought Dark Warx and Dark Hawks.

24:53.535 --> 24:54.596
[SPEAKER_03]: I can never say that properly.

24:55.196 --> 24:56.177
[SPEAKER_03]: That whole.

24:56.197 --> 24:58.139
[SPEAKER_03]: Dark I love that.

24:58.159 --> 24:59.040
[SPEAKER_03]: Dark I love that.

24:59.020 --> 25:12.148
[SPEAKER_03]: his visions are interesting and I like that they were ready to black and white, but man, but there was like non-stop confessionals and also action and also dialogue scenes, there's just a lot going on on every page.

25:12.228 --> 25:12.649
[SPEAKER_03]: That's all.

25:13.311 --> 25:16.898
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there is, yeah, but there got some sense.

25:16.919 --> 25:17.620
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a good thing.

25:17.752 --> 25:33.432
[SPEAKER_03]: Dork number two from image comics by Brett being this is another big image comics book This was the first out of the gate that had this whole sellout trend going on and it features a half-twarf half-work

25:33.412 --> 25:38.521
[SPEAKER_03]: who is on a big adventure with a severed ghost chicken head and a evil killer shield.

25:38.981 --> 25:42.067
[SPEAKER_03]: Everybody in the world is after them because they have a big destiny.

25:42.527 --> 25:45.132
[SPEAKER_03]: Pete, you're our dork on this podcast.

25:45.172 --> 25:45.653
[SPEAKER_03]: Take it away.

25:46.013 --> 25:48.197
[SPEAKER_01]: Hell yeah, you dork for dork.

25:48.380 --> 25:51.143
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm geeking out for the store care.

25:51.163 --> 25:52.965
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, first off, fun cover.

25:53.226 --> 25:54.727
[SPEAKER_01]: Also, I'm a sucker for a map.

25:54.747 --> 25:56.449
[SPEAKER_01]: We get that on like the first page.

25:57.070 --> 25:58.772
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I just love this comic.

25:58.832 --> 26:01.034
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the vibe of this comic.

26:01.054 --> 26:03.597
[SPEAKER_01]: The art style is bright and fun.

26:04.478 --> 26:08.543
[SPEAKER_01]: Even though there's like severed heads and it's a goch chicken head.

26:08.603 --> 26:10.405
[SPEAKER_01]: It's still a blast.

26:10.385 --> 26:22.442
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, I just, uh, this is just such a fun adventure comic and, uh, the voice and the tone of it is just so kind of cool and unique in the villains or ridiculous, but great.

26:22.502 --> 26:27.009
[SPEAKER_01]: So, uh, just every page of this is just an absolute joy ride.

26:28.511 --> 26:30.133
[SPEAKER_04]: I love a map.

26:30.153 --> 26:32.597
[SPEAKER_04]: And this comic, we get a little map at the top.

26:32.977 --> 26:38.485
[SPEAKER_04]: This comic reminded me of playing the game, uh, Chrono Trigger on Super Nintendo.

26:39.055 --> 26:39.856
[SPEAKER_04]: anybody?

26:39.876 --> 26:47.186
[SPEAKER_01]: I get the reference but it's just that triggered me with that holy shit that's crazy.

26:47.207 --> 26:57.982
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a lot of elements here, there's some time travel, there's some fantasy which you know you don't see mixed at times so that was it was it was it's in a deeper part of my brain.

26:58.442 --> 26:58.903
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

26:59.491 --> 27:00.753
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, this is fun.

27:00.773 --> 27:06.924
[SPEAKER_03]: I am surprised this is one huge seller for image, but I don't know.

27:07.345 --> 27:12.434
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's very adjacent to I hate Fairyland, Brett B. and did art for that as well.

27:12.915 --> 27:20.047
[SPEAKER_03]: It's the same sort of perfane and gross fantasy stuff, maybe not as over the top comedy as that one.

27:20.929 --> 27:22.071
[SPEAKER_03]: But it's cute, it's funny.

27:22.912 --> 27:24.435
[SPEAKER_03]: I still don't.

27:25.057 --> 27:34.690
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not quite a boredom with a mix like a door-footed ork or not so far apart that a half-half is like on out of that area but what are you talking about?

27:34.931 --> 27:37.234
[SPEAKER_04]: How dare you talk about what's kind of this thing.

27:37.254 --> 27:40.598
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I mean it's really just a short, short on short situation.

27:40.979 --> 27:41.700
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on.

27:42.141 --> 27:43.062
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't.

27:43.142 --> 27:44.844
[SPEAKER_04]: Ork can be penalized, short, either.

27:44.864 --> 27:46.607
[SPEAKER_04]: Or maybe I'll take you up ork, hi.

27:47.628 --> 27:47.948
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

27:48.409 --> 27:51.173
[SPEAKER_04]: I think, yeah, I would consider an ork to be pretty short usually.

27:51.614 --> 27:52.675
[SPEAKER_04]: No, they're big.

27:53.456 --> 27:54.878
[SPEAKER_04]: Big work.

27:55.786 --> 27:58.093
[SPEAKER_04]: So you're saying like this big or commit this dwarf?

27:59.658 --> 28:01.665
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, or just like the worst of all of the time.

28:01.685 --> 28:02.247
[SPEAKER_03]: I have a beard.

28:02.407 --> 28:05.637
[SPEAKER_03]: Like the dwarfs are short and have beard.

28:05.698 --> 28:06.019
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the best.

28:06.039 --> 28:09.610
[SPEAKER_03]: You should have a beard, you fucking an eye dwarf.

28:10.703 --> 28:11.504
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe I've been ork.

28:11.925 --> 28:12.285
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

28:12.365 --> 28:14.388
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess we'll establish that next movie episode.

28:14.769 --> 28:22.159
[SPEAKER_03]: A quiet place storm warning number one from IDW written by Phil Hester art by Ryan and Kelly.

28:22.199 --> 28:25.704
[SPEAKER_03]: This is an official tie-in to the horror movie series.

28:26.225 --> 28:30.191
[SPEAKER_03]: Taking place kind of the same time as day one.

28:30.411 --> 28:33.355
[SPEAKER_03]: I want to say or like it doesn't really matter.

28:33.696 --> 28:33.996
[SPEAKER_03]: Whatever.

28:34.136 --> 28:38.803
[SPEAKER_04]: It's about an island that the

28:38.783 --> 29:02.057
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, it's day one, but the important thing to understand this, like while the rest of the world is being taken over by these aliens who kill people, if they make noise, this town in Mississippi that is the middle of the Mississippi on an island has a little bit of time to know what's going on and think about responding to it, which as a fan of the series or at the very least, some of the series,

29:02.037 --> 29:13.882
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought was a really interesting idea and interesting take that reflected a lot of the divisions that we are facing in terms of big issues of the world outside, which I think they're ripping off here.

29:14.363 --> 29:18.813
[SPEAKER_03]: So I thought it was a very smart premise that works really nicely with the quiet place franchise.

29:19.374 --> 29:19.995
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm a fan.

29:20.532 --> 29:27.203
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I was really surprised by the sort of politics, like PTA board style politics that they had at the top of this.

29:27.644 --> 29:32.612
[SPEAKER_04]: But I do think it really worked and it made me very sympathetic for the main character family.

29:33.574 --> 29:42.409
[SPEAKER_04]: We do get some time, we get a flash forward at point, so that's, and it's featuring characters I didn't quite expect to see together.

29:42.529 --> 29:46.135
[SPEAKER_04]: So, good job teasing me there.

29:46.638 --> 29:59.552
[SPEAKER_04]: And when I would have to say that a quiet place of movie I like, the original, but the defining moment in the takeaway is the whiteboard that has sound question marks a couple of times.

29:59.572 --> 30:01.474
[SPEAKER_04]: So, amazing moment.

30:01.975 --> 30:08.041
[SPEAKER_04]: It's very funny that this book really went away from that premise so hard.

30:08.061 --> 30:10.224
[SPEAKER_04]: They were like, yeah, they respond to sound.

30:10.864 --> 30:12.626
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm telling you that sound is the thing.

30:12.746 --> 30:15.109
[SPEAKER_04]: And I was like, oh, great, really made it clear.

30:16.338 --> 30:16.679
[SPEAKER_01]: Pete?

30:17.641 --> 30:21.551
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, this is a nightmare scenario for me.

30:21.571 --> 30:31.254
[SPEAKER_01]: I hate being quiet, so I would die so fast, so I'm not excited about this premise that continues to keep coming out in different forms.

30:31.775 --> 30:34.161
[SPEAKER_04]: But be yelling at the monsters as they are you.

30:34.141 --> 30:35.484
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I just can't quiet.

30:35.544 --> 30:37.327
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, for the life of me, I can't be quiet.

30:37.407 --> 30:39.812
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's just a ticking time bomb scenario.

30:39.832 --> 30:43.500
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you mean like stepping your toes, screaming, dropping a paint can?

30:43.520 --> 30:44.902
[SPEAKER_01]: What are those things?

30:45.423 --> 30:46.726
[SPEAKER_01]: I reacting to other people.

30:47.427 --> 30:50.834
[SPEAKER_01]: Just, uh, I'm not, yeah, I shout in movies.

30:50.974 --> 30:51.776
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm not quiet.

30:51.836 --> 30:53.219
[SPEAKER_04]: You're America's Mr. Bean.

30:53.760 --> 30:54.401
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you for the loud.

30:55.243 --> 30:55.583
[SPEAKER_04]: Cool.

30:55.603 --> 30:56.385
[SPEAKER_04]: Very loud.

30:56.753 --> 30:58.157
[SPEAKER_04]: That's how you're different.

30:58.739 --> 31:00.625
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.

31:00.645 --> 31:02.611
[SPEAKER_03]: I got one different.

31:03.132 --> 31:04.095
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, Mr.

31:04.216 --> 31:09.632
[SPEAKER_03]: Beans very popular Yeah, they sell on the journey particularly today

31:11.452 --> 31:31.333
[SPEAKER_03]: uh... on this very day on this very day this mr. bead day uh... we're just talking about it right he does that dark book it's actually uh... more than that bread being that's pretty different being uh... uh... the radio's that's what i think it means it's more stent which is mario today hey it's about

31:32.343 --> 31:46.024
[SPEAKER_03]: Action Comics, 1096 from DC Comics, written by Mark Wade, Art Biteskyler, Patrick, this is kicking off the reign of the Super Boys, which front and center is the Super Boys in each and every one of the Super Family books.

31:46.505 --> 31:49.990
[SPEAKER_03]: Not too much of a stretch here where this book has already been doing that.

31:50.912 --> 31:52.635
[SPEAKER_03]: So we continued to get that here.

31:52.655 --> 31:53.756
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought it was worth picking up.

31:53.776 --> 31:56.140
[SPEAKER_03]: We haven't read the past couple of issues.

31:56.339 --> 32:01.267
[SPEAKER_03]: or have it reviewed at least the last couple of issues, because it's one of those, yeah, this is always good.

32:01.287 --> 32:07.457
[SPEAKER_03]: I always have a good time, but given this event is kicking off, what do you think about this issue?

32:07.477 --> 32:13.467
[SPEAKER_03]: The fine super boy, dealing very similarly to Dork with some time should add against.

32:13.487 --> 32:14.989
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, time should I end?

32:14.969 --> 32:25.752
[SPEAKER_04]: Like the video game, Chrono Trigger, the late 90s on the super Nintendo Entertainment system, I like this a lot as well.

32:26.213 --> 32:33.248
[SPEAKER_04]: Very, I was surprised by how much of this was like a Superman defining issue, bridges for a super boy.

32:33.228 --> 32:40.175
[SPEAKER_04]: We saw a lot of the classic Superman poses, but in slightly different angles, I thought the art released it out by Scott or Partridge.

32:40.796 --> 32:58.054
[SPEAKER_04]: Having sort of a mix between the very bright tones and a little bit of darkness, blending those well, which you expect to brightness from a super-moant manner, super-boy story, but the darkness and sort of the anxiety-generation version of a Superman that we have in this Super-Boy I thought was cool.

32:58.979 --> 33:02.166
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I thought this was a cool cover, a fun issue.

33:02.366 --> 33:05.834
[SPEAKER_01]: Great art, bright and kind of cherry, super boy, stuff.

33:05.854 --> 33:12.027
[SPEAKER_01]: This is, yeah, I love the story, love the action, super solid.

33:12.361 --> 33:14.844
[SPEAKER_03]: Super solid for a super boy.

33:15.364 --> 33:20.069
[SPEAKER_03]: Elias Redband, number one for Marvel, written by Sam Humphreys, art by Dr. Aldo Borges.

33:20.090 --> 33:22.512
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a bring-in-back Jessica Jones.

33:22.792 --> 33:26.657
[SPEAKER_03]: It ain't burgy, burgy, and a new series.

33:26.937 --> 33:32.303
[SPEAKER_03]: She is set in continuity, so she is the wife of Luke Cage.

33:32.383 --> 33:33.785
[SPEAKER_03]: Luke Cage is the mayor.

33:33.945 --> 33:39.651
[SPEAKER_03]: She has given up her PI license because she is the wife of the mayor.

33:39.631 --> 33:41.756
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course, she gets embroiled in a mystery.

33:41.957 --> 33:50.479
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, obviously, Brad Michael Bendis is shadow looms large over Jessica Jones.

33:51.020 --> 33:53.607
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you think Sam Humphrey's escaped it?

33:57.316 --> 34:09.751
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure about all that, but I thought this was a fun book, and I love this kind of odd couple of Jessica Jones and Typhoid Mary, I thought that was cool.

34:11.413 --> 34:14.377
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I thought the art did such a great job as setting the mood.

34:14.397 --> 34:19.703
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought this was a really solid first issue, and got me excited about this kind of adventure.

34:19.763 --> 34:26.391
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the only thing that was driving me a little nuts is the depiction of Luke Cage in this, but other than that.

34:26.411 --> 34:26.952
[SPEAKER_01]: That was great.

34:27.269 --> 34:33.925
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I was also surprised by their marital strife in their scenes, which I liked it.

34:34.206 --> 34:45.312
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's a good choice for their relationship, the pressures of, they really make it real the pressures of being the first couple of New York, essentially.

34:46.135 --> 34:52.607
[SPEAKER_04]: And I thought that was well played, the little things that would definitely create cracks in a relationship happening here with people.

34:52.647 --> 34:58.016
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, when they first got together, it was sort of that unlikely couple, but that really worked.

34:58.156 --> 35:01.883
[SPEAKER_04]: And they had like the strongest relationship of the Marvel universe, I think, for.

35:02.065 --> 35:22.875
[SPEAKER_04]: years when Ben this was like running shit over there they were more of the first couple of the soliders so that it was sort of bracing to see this in a different place I'm curious if that will be can be explored more as we get into this like really fucked up murder that we're going to be seeing more of that as well but great to have her back and

35:22.855 --> 35:24.737
[SPEAKER_04]: To answer your question, Alex.

35:25.438 --> 35:46.961
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not the same as the original team because that was such a specific vibe But I this feels more of the moment feels a little more rooted in the mainstream Marvel universe But still doing a lot of the more like gritty fucked up character studying Just a new answer to Alex's question, but what about mine?

35:46.981 --> 35:48.863
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think this is a cool cover?

35:50.024 --> 35:53.610
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I do I didn't act even back.

35:53.691 --> 36:05.973
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, yeah, I didn't act in covers for the whole thing Love a macatak and I love a big Mac get out of your Big arch yeah Wow, what if you had it?

36:06.554 --> 36:07.515
[SPEAKER_03]: I had it.

36:07.535 --> 36:08.197
[SPEAKER_03]: I have had it.

36:08.297 --> 36:08.457
[SPEAKER_03]: Wait.

36:08.497 --> 36:08.918
[SPEAKER_03]: Is that new?

36:08.938 --> 36:09.399
[SPEAKER_03]: Me too.

36:09.960 --> 36:11.222
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, not good

36:11.641 --> 36:26.663
[SPEAKER_03]: really I don't know The tunnels is disgusting in general I think you can all agree I So What the best is you know you guys are going on today The disgusting new burger was disgusting Hmm It's a place like anything Like their burgers are flavorless

36:26.643 --> 36:30.070
[SPEAKER_04]: The thing this is the crazy thing I think about fast food and fast guy little food.

36:30.491 --> 36:37.926
[SPEAKER_04]: It's all about being like Hey, you need so much fucking protein hurry This protein and so they're like it doesn't taste good.

36:38.026 --> 36:45.141
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just pure meat I'm like what why are we doing this as a people?

36:45.678 --> 36:47.341
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you like the pig arch though, Pete?

36:47.921 --> 36:56.835
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I didn't hate it as much as you did, like I did some adjusting, but I thought the sauce... You had some, you asked to see the chef?

36:58.397 --> 37:00.541
[SPEAKER_01]: No, like I took out some of the stuff.

37:01.342 --> 37:04.487
[SPEAKER_04]: But what do you, what do you get your pickles, Bobby?

37:05.649 --> 37:08.713
[SPEAKER_03]: Wait, I, I have actually really curious what you took out, Pete.

37:09.975 --> 37:11.698
[SPEAKER_03]: I, I think this is going to make me bad.

37:11.738 --> 37:13.120
[SPEAKER_03]: I know, even though I didn't like that.

37:13.353 --> 37:22.958
[SPEAKER_01]: probably onions or if it came with a bacon I'm not sure what the what it all came with but

37:23.545 --> 37:24.847
[SPEAKER_03]: You took out bacon?

37:25.508 --> 37:27.110
[SPEAKER_03]: There is no bacon on it.

37:27.350 --> 37:28.752
[SPEAKER_03]: There are two types of onions.

37:28.812 --> 37:30.454
[SPEAKER_03]: There's the crispy onions that they're left on.

37:30.474 --> 37:32.457
[SPEAKER_03]: Cap the crispy and then took out the onions.

37:32.737 --> 37:33.838
[SPEAKER_03]: This lever once I said.

37:33.859 --> 37:34.299
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't like.

37:34.740 --> 37:36.622
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought, I saw somebody online.

37:36.702 --> 37:39.646
[SPEAKER_03]: It was like, well, I don't like pickles or lettuce.

37:39.686 --> 37:41.028
[SPEAKER_03]: So I got that off of there.

37:41.328 --> 37:43.091
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, what are you talking about?

37:43.151 --> 37:45.454
[SPEAKER_03]: Those are two five things to put on the burger.

37:45.474 --> 37:45.554
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

37:45.574 --> 37:48.818
[SPEAKER_04]: You're sort of like a kid's meal burger.

37:48.838 --> 37:51.021
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, get something for babies, idiot.

37:51.001 --> 37:55.948
[SPEAKER_04]: Also, let me just say, all of those burgers taste almost the same.

37:55.968 --> 37:56.890
[SPEAKER_04]: 100%.

37:56.910 --> 37:58.372
[SPEAKER_04]: So, what not?

37:58.392 --> 37:58.933
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.

37:59.153 --> 38:01.576
[SPEAKER_04]: To really get into the debate about them.

38:01.937 --> 38:02.998
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

38:03.119 --> 38:03.479
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

38:03.679 --> 38:04.581
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we got more.

38:05.142 --> 38:07.886
[SPEAKER_01]: It's beefier than a big Mac, which I appreciated.

38:07.926 --> 38:09.788
[SPEAKER_01]: And less bread.

38:09.949 --> 38:10.950
[SPEAKER_01]: So.

38:10.930 --> 38:13.774
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, that's a one for the protein thing.

38:13.854 --> 38:23.266
[SPEAKER_03]: I will say the only one that I don't choose was good dislike is the big Mac, but that's all because of the big Mac sauce Which is what you're relish should rush addressing?

38:23.987 --> 38:25.148
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's like man.

38:25.208 --> 38:27.772
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know that's secret Yeah, exactly.

38:28.172 --> 38:32.618
[SPEAKER_04]: You don't know the secret P. Yeah, I'm it is what trades in secrets

38:33.627 --> 38:38.536
[SPEAKER_03]: You she was a lot more burger the taste like nothing instead of less burger the taste like nothing.

38:38.796 --> 38:43.926
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know Oh, so you were happy with more nothing I guess and let's be clear though.

38:43.946 --> 38:47.873
[SPEAKER_04]: Also you guys raced out to waste

38:48.022 --> 39:05.592
[SPEAKER_03]: yeah raced had to get it had to try it yeah man who's aggressive also got a shamrock shake that was a bad oh those are great i love a good shamrock shake come on man and for anybody who hasn't been watching on youtube we've been talking about the seasons this entire time

39:05.572 --> 39:21.589
[SPEAKER_03]: yeah cover up at of course this was all about uh the season's never died from image comics written by Rick Wremendor arc by Paul as the seda and the latest issue season sisters finally try the big arch from McDonald's if I know what they thought but what did you guys think of this issue?

39:21.805 --> 39:26.172
[SPEAKER_04]: classic reminder fasthood tie-in, you know.

39:26.192 --> 39:33.644
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, in this issue, the entire city has been ensourced by magic mirrors from our evil carnival.

39:34.285 --> 39:38.632
[SPEAKER_03]: And chief among them is winter seasons who perth recover.

39:39.133 --> 39:45.884
[SPEAKER_03]: Turns the whole thing into Victorian winter and our two sisters have to figure out how to change the city back.

39:46.284 --> 39:49.129
[SPEAKER_03]: Justin, you're a seasons booster, what do you think?

39:49.109 --> 39:49.910
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

39:50.370 --> 39:50.871
[SPEAKER_04]: I like this.

39:51.211 --> 40:04.726
[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like, you know, the tone that this book has taken throughout, it's always been like pretty storybook and has, in pending dread and but in a very colorful, like the carnivals coming to townway.

40:05.206 --> 40:08.590
[SPEAKER_04]: And we really pushed through that into this much different thing.

40:08.630 --> 40:12.214
[SPEAKER_04]: Now it's a drab, like Russian style story.

40:12.194 --> 40:22.845
[SPEAKER_04]: with a very big metaphor at the center of it, and I'm going to be very curious to reread this and see what the whole arch of it is.

40:23.180 --> 40:28.485
[SPEAKER_04]: because it's such an interesting progression and the art, Paul, as I say, is art is excellent.

40:28.505 --> 40:42.397
[SPEAKER_04]: And I wonder, I'd love to talk to Rick about this book specifically, because I feel like I can really see what he's up to in a lot of his books, both from like premise into like larger political or societal take.

40:42.918 --> 40:51.786
[SPEAKER_04]: This one feels like a riff, a jam in a lot of ways, which I've been really enjoying because it feels very free compared to a lot of other work out there.

40:51.766 --> 40:55.092
[SPEAKER_01]: I love how you're in a first name basis with all comic writers.

40:55.112 --> 41:00.743
[SPEAKER_01]: You're like, Al Rick, we talk to them a lot.

41:00.883 --> 41:03.589
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't think we interview the a ton of times.

41:04.009 --> 41:08.037
[SPEAKER_05]: We know, almost every name we say on the show, we know them.

41:08.017 --> 41:13.470
[SPEAKER_01]: Pete, when I talking to Tom, I would walk up to, you know, Mr.

41:13.510 --> 41:16.096
[SPEAKER_01]: Reminder and be like, yo, Rick, what did to you?

41:16.116 --> 41:19.464
[SPEAKER_01]: You held it, him on the cod for many times.

41:19.725 --> 41:20.988
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to call him Mr.

41:21.048 --> 41:21.589
[SPEAKER_01]: Reminder.

41:22.010 --> 41:23.393
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't wait to do it again.

41:23.433 --> 41:25.077
[SPEAKER_01]: That is it.

41:25.097 --> 41:25.418
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway.

41:26.073 --> 41:28.336
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyways, I think this is awesome.

41:28.356 --> 41:30.058
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's worth it for the art alone.

41:31.220 --> 41:34.203
[SPEAKER_01]: It's super tight, and it's really special.

41:34.644 --> 41:35.545
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the next level.

41:35.725 --> 41:36.646
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really impressive.

41:36.727 --> 41:40.852
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a whole world that is created in this book and sent you an interesting way.

41:41.413 --> 41:51.325
[SPEAKER_01]: And we kind of get, I thought all the kind of sisters were on the same team, but it almost seems like in this last panel reveal that maybe winter is on the other side.

41:51.445 --> 41:55.911
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, it does seem like sisters

41:57.629 --> 42:03.863
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, but yeah, all that aside, this is great continues to be great.

42:04.104 --> 42:11.300
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a real kind of tripped-out adventure every time you pick up one of these comics seasons.

42:11.320 --> 42:13.866
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I can't wait for to find out what's next.

42:15.550 --> 42:16.271
[SPEAKER_03]: Great.

42:16.291 --> 42:16.851
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.

42:16.891 --> 42:37.875
[SPEAKER_03]: Next up, Godzilla versus America, Portland, number one from IDW written by Colleen Koover, Kat Ferris, Katelyn Yarsky, and Mark Russell, art by Colleen Koover, Kat Ferris, Katelyn Yarsky, and Eric Donovan's the latest anthology that IDW has done set in a specific city that using creatives from that very city to put together the book.

42:38.315 --> 42:39.837
[SPEAKER_03]: So this one is

42:39.817 --> 42:48.400
[SPEAKER_03]: of course set in Portland and it plays with Portland troops, including fighting the ideal Portland hot dog among other things.

42:49.082 --> 42:51.870
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought this was another delightful issue of this anthology.

42:51.930 --> 42:53.233
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm really enjoying all of this.

42:54.336 --> 42:56.121
[SPEAKER_03]: Justin, how did you think?

42:56.101 --> 43:17.215
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I said this about the Kansas City one and I was like it's all inside jokes and all like two of the guy and this one goes even further And it is fun, but they're like, I hope they don't take down the whiskey library and I only know because I've been in that bar But that's just a cool bar in the whole book is them being like hopefully hope Godzilla doesn't wreck

43:17.195 --> 43:20.038
[SPEAKER_04]: this thing I very specifically saying.

43:21.019 --> 43:21.900
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's fun.

43:21.920 --> 43:28.388
[SPEAKER_04]: I think the tone of this is very much in the vibe of Portland where it's like, yes, make fun of us.

43:28.508 --> 43:30.330
[SPEAKER_04]: We know we're too much.

43:30.490 --> 43:34.054
[SPEAKER_04]: There's some good jokes about keeping Portland weird in here.

43:34.134 --> 43:36.737
[SPEAKER_04]: I thought the hot dog chase is fun.

43:36.777 --> 43:39.340
[SPEAKER_04]: All of the specifics are fun.

43:39.380 --> 43:45.447
[SPEAKER_04]: And for our guy gods, I know him pretty well too, so that's what I call.

43:46.203 --> 43:48.666
[SPEAKER_04]: because we all know that his name is God's illa.

43:51.168 --> 43:53.811
[SPEAKER_04]: If we drop in the sea there, or what?

43:53.831 --> 43:55.553
[SPEAKER_03]: God's illa.

43:55.753 --> 44:00.278
[SPEAKER_03]: God's illa, it's not God's God apostrophe S illa.

44:01.019 --> 44:14.353
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so that's God's illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa, illa,

44:15.295 --> 44:21.383
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, just well executed ideas, really great humor, fun use of Godzilla and these stories.

44:22.024 --> 44:24.908
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this just continues to be impressive.

44:25.008 --> 44:27.612
[SPEAKER_01]: They're really delivering on this.

44:27.672 --> 44:39.829
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like they're doing such a good job of nailing the tone and giving you a different story based on the cities, which you would think, you know, we get boring or whatever, but the specifics make it so much fun.

44:39.869 --> 44:44.475
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, it's really such a blast.

44:44.455 --> 44:58.432
[SPEAKER_04]: The crazy thing I was thinking when I was reading this is like, you can't do this for New York really, because everybody knows New York, because New York's in movies and TV, so it's sort of like, they're not going to be like, you know, so-oh, and it's like, yeah, everybody knows that.

44:58.853 --> 45:00.455
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, it's like, they can do it.

45:00.635 --> 45:01.436
[SPEAKER_03]: They can do it.

45:01.456 --> 45:02.237
[SPEAKER_04]: They can do it.

45:02.297 --> 45:04.840
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course, they can do it, but it's a totally different thing.

45:04.920 --> 45:09.746
[SPEAKER_04]: When you name check, like, sax Fifth Avenue, it's like, yeah, I know.

45:10.347 --> 45:12.690
[SPEAKER_04]: We don't know what you mean by that.

45:12.670 --> 45:15.635
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I am very intrigued to see what happens.

45:15.936 --> 45:17.960
[SPEAKER_03]: The next one is Godzilla vs. Texas.

45:18.100 --> 45:18.781
[SPEAKER_03]: Very curious.

45:18.841 --> 45:22.027
[SPEAKER_03]: These have been very progressive books.

45:22.287 --> 45:26.195
[SPEAKER_03]: I wonder if he's going to like to some redistricting down there or what's going on.

45:26.615 --> 45:27.357
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, Jesus.

45:28.098 --> 45:28.599
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see.

45:28.939 --> 45:30.342
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll see definitely.

45:30.322 --> 45:36.510
[SPEAKER_03]: Pleading Arts number two from DC Comics in Vertigo art by Dennis Camp art by Stippin Morian.

45:36.771 --> 45:41.417
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the kickoff of the second month, cut off of the second month of Vertigo.

45:41.958 --> 45:52.872
[SPEAKER_03]: This takes place in the world where zombies can talk and think, but still eat human flesh, except for one of them who has started having a beating heart last issue.

45:52.913 --> 45:54.034
[SPEAKER_03]: The cliffhanger was

45:54.014 --> 45:57.707
[SPEAKER_03]: He encountered a woman and who we discover are her child.

45:58.189 --> 46:01.943
[SPEAKER_03]: This issue flips over to their perspective as we continue the action.

46:02.404 --> 46:04.612
[SPEAKER_03]: What does you guys think about this?

46:04.893 --> 46:06.218
[SPEAKER_03]: You camp and bro, what's up?

46:07.126 --> 46:09.328
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'm, you know, I'm so down for this.

46:09.788 --> 46:12.070
[SPEAKER_04]: I've loved, I love the first issue.

46:12.171 --> 46:22.800
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it, like, has the art and blend of premise here is so great, we get a lot of backstory and just some nice, more of a quieter issue.

46:22.840 --> 46:29.166
[SPEAKER_04]: I felt like, interesting, especially in your second issue to go so, so still.

46:29.346 --> 46:31.228
[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like usually you're heightening so hard.

46:31.248 --> 46:37.133
[SPEAKER_04]: This one feels like it goes the opposite way, but it really serves the story.

46:37.113 --> 46:38.675
[SPEAKER_04]: fantastic art.

46:39.656 --> 46:41.518
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm fully on board for this.

46:41.639 --> 46:44.041
[SPEAKER_04]: One of my new faves from the vertical line.

46:44.302 --> 46:45.784
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I agree this is fun.

46:45.804 --> 46:49.027
[SPEAKER_01]: This is refreshing and cool and interesting.

46:49.588 --> 46:54.134
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I mean if a zombie brought me snacks, I wouldn't, you know, kill it at all.

46:54.154 --> 46:55.375
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

46:55.595 --> 46:59.340
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's an amazing thing to do for somebody regardless of

46:59.320 --> 47:00.884
[SPEAKER_01]: What kind of animal you are?

47:00.984 --> 47:03.310
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I agree.

47:03.711 --> 47:15.642
[SPEAKER_01]: It was an impressive kind of like ramp down to kind of like okay Let's get in the rhythm of this comic, but smart choice works really well here Arts very creative and cool to kind of set up this world

47:16.752 --> 47:29.756
[SPEAKER_03]: Spider-Man, meals to astonish number one for Marvel, written by Steve Orlando, Gustavo Duarte, Ken Nemura, Paul Esbach, art by Ron Mercado, Gustavo Duarte, Ken Nemura, and E.J.

47:29.776 --> 47:40.515
[SPEAKER_03]: Sue, the main story is focusing on chef Jose Andres, who is a real-life superhero who helps people all over the world with, oh my gosh, I'm forgetting.

47:40.495 --> 47:52.108
[SPEAKER_03]: is this world kitchen that's the world central kitchen world central kitchen is the name of the great organization great organization if you don't know about that organization look it up it's it's unbelievable what they do

47:52.426 --> 48:14.742
[SPEAKER_03]: So this is honoring him and I believe there's actually going to be more comics honoring him throughout the year, but here Electro attacks his restaurant just as Peter Parker is supposed to die in there and a reporter who looks eerily like the EIC of Marvel Comics CB supposed to keep, but has a different name, so it must be somebody entirely different are dining there.

48:15.363 --> 48:18.889
[SPEAKER_04]: Well you never know you'd see me supposed to be like he's not wanting to take on a different name.

48:18.869 --> 48:23.637
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure that's not a thing that is deeply steeped in history.

48:25.620 --> 48:31.770
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, the lecture destroys the restaurant and it's up to Jose Andres and Spider-Man to save the day.

48:31.830 --> 48:35.836
[SPEAKER_03]: And then we get a bunch of backup stories, most of which have spun out digitally.

48:37.599 --> 48:39.021
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you guys think about this?

48:39.895 --> 48:40.717
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was fun.

48:40.737 --> 48:48.975
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought, you know, really bright, cool team up, love the colors, love the vibes.

48:51.200 --> 48:56.993
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I thought this was enjoyable and fun way to kind of take down a electoral.

48:59.673 --> 49:09.055
[SPEAKER_04]: Everyone's got to eat the I like books that are like any anthology book that's organized around an idea like having this It'd be like food culture.

49:09.075 --> 49:18.677
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's cool It did feel a little gimmicky guest story and I wish it just went harder with what it was doing I guess

49:19.096 --> 49:24.244
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I wonder, these things are always tricky to put together behind the scenes.

49:24.545 --> 49:32.758
[SPEAKER_03]: I do think there was a lot of push to be like, we need to make Jose Andres, the hero here, front and center, even more than Spider-Man.

49:33.299 --> 49:38.046
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's great, but by the end of the issue, he's like, we're going to help with these relief efforts.

49:38.788 --> 49:42.293
[SPEAKER_03]: And there's a part of a building that's just webbed up by Spider-Man's webs.

49:42.353 --> 49:44.597
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, that's going to collapse in an hour.

49:44.577 --> 49:47.993
[SPEAKER_03]: that's a very dangerous that is a bad idea.

49:48.636 --> 49:52.654
[SPEAKER_03]: But I do think the art in that one was pretty good and Steve Orlando did a good job with that one.

49:52.694 --> 49:53.980
[SPEAKER_03]: My favorite

49:54.382 --> 50:08.381
[SPEAKER_03]: one, easily, which I believe is an odd mile on was the taste of spider ramen, which is a bowl of ramen that swigs from the spider pan and fights what was it Dr. Tukki I'm forgetting what there's called the octopus balls.

50:08.802 --> 50:09.302
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah.

50:09.663 --> 50:10.264
[SPEAKER_03]: Whatever it was.

50:10.624 --> 50:11.645
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, he's Tukki.

50:11.846 --> 50:12.527
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe I don't know.

50:12.547 --> 50:17.233
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's very torn up about Mochi Jane, who is his girlfriend, the whole thing.

50:17.315 --> 50:18.817
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know, made me laugh.

50:19.057 --> 50:19.878
[SPEAKER_03]: So I enjoyed that.

50:20.279 --> 50:21.720
[SPEAKER_03]: I did have a question about the last story.

50:21.740 --> 50:32.633
[SPEAKER_03]: So the last story is Test Kitchen, which I believe is based on Tony Stark's Test Kitchen at Avengers Campus, the theme park stuff that they have.

50:33.214 --> 50:36.097
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's what that tie it is if I'm getting that correctly.

50:36.618 --> 50:39.822
[SPEAKER_03]: But they have a chef comes in and it's cooking a bunch of things for Tony Stark.

50:39.862 --> 50:43.186
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a, I thought, pretty hot seed of Tony.

50:43.206 --> 50:45.769
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm going on a date just and what did you think of that?

50:46.019 --> 50:48.992
[SPEAKER_04]: You know I was there for, but I was like, when was this written?

50:49.816 --> 50:54.420
[SPEAKER_04]: like this, this is teasing me specifically, I think.

50:54.440 --> 50:59.665
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, my bigger question though, is the end of the issue, they go to this barn.

50:59.745 --> 51:05.150
[SPEAKER_03]: We're all the Avengers are, the Avengers are like, you've got to cook for us, and it's got to be something really special in blow this way.

51:05.190 --> 51:09.755
[SPEAKER_03]: We get a montage of the cook putting together ingredients and serving something to them.

51:09.775 --> 51:14.319
[SPEAKER_03]: They're like, oh, this is really good, but what's the secret ingredient in this?

51:14.759 --> 51:18.743
[SPEAKER_03]: And then all at the same time, they say,

51:20.107 --> 51:21.890
[SPEAKER_03]: And then they don't explain it for a little bit.

51:21.930 --> 51:24.214
[SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, are they eating Jarvis?

51:24.675 --> 51:25.997
[SPEAKER_03]: Is that's what happening here?

51:26.137 --> 51:31.206
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think they clarify that like, no, it's a recipe from Jarvis of chicken.

51:31.847 --> 51:40.242
[SPEAKER_03]: But then the end of the book is Tony Stark being like, I don't know, there's something you're not telling us about this dish, and she's like, gotta go.

51:41.285 --> 51:43.710
[SPEAKER_03]: So do you think she cooked Jarvis?

51:43.851 --> 51:45.374
[SPEAKER_04]: There's implied cannibalism.

51:45.394 --> 51:46.376
[SPEAKER_03]: I think so.

51:46.837 --> 51:48.400
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that was the test.

51:49.002 --> 51:51.327
[SPEAKER_03]: Everyone's been killing the Butler last few years.

51:51.487 --> 51:53.131
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.

51:53.151 --> 51:53.772
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I don't know.

51:53.812 --> 51:55.295
[SPEAKER_03]: Why don't we send that mean?

51:55.756 --> 51:55.917
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[SPEAKER_03]: Transformers number 30 from skybout an image comics written by Robert Kirkman art by Dan Morab big stuff going down in this issue as little matrix of leader.

52:11.919 --> 52:13.983
[SPEAKER_03]: He's passed from one to another.

52:14.023 --> 52:14.804
[SPEAKER_03]: Hmm.

52:14.824 --> 52:17.810
[SPEAKER_03]: Pete, you gotta be losing your mind here.

52:17.830 --> 52:19.594
[SPEAKER_01]: You've got the touch.

52:20.756 --> 52:21.838
[SPEAKER_01]: You've got the ball.

52:22.477 --> 52:24.399
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, who was singing that when that happened?

52:24.599 --> 52:29.124
[SPEAKER_01]: I always used to see the matrix coming out, you know, that song is just pumping through your head.

52:29.164 --> 52:29.945
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

52:30.005 --> 52:31.046
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, dude.

52:32.127 --> 52:32.788
[SPEAKER_01]: Crazy.

52:32.848 --> 52:36.132
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this was a hell of an issue.

52:36.692 --> 52:40.436
[SPEAKER_01]: Very exciting stuff gets you really excited for what's to come.

52:40.496 --> 52:45.301
[SPEAKER_01]: Optimus Prime, not afraid of passing down the torch.

52:45.322 --> 52:45.962
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

52:46.002 --> 52:47.404
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not like one of these leaders.

52:47.464 --> 52:48.585
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like,

52:48.565 --> 53:14.286
[SPEAKER_01]: you know what fuck you guys I run this show get in line you know he's if people got interesting ideas and sometimes you got walk right up to your leaders and try to rip their chest open until they finally listen to you you know what I mean pull out their essence do you have an excited peat for what's happening right now you say excited for what's to come a lot so you're always like looking down the road to the next thing right are you excited about

53:14.587 --> 53:20.133
[SPEAKER_01]: I did think it was kind of crazy to see Optimus give up his prime, you know what I mean?

53:20.153 --> 53:24.397
[SPEAKER_01]: That was kind of We got the Amazon case.

53:24.457 --> 53:27.260
[SPEAKER_04]: He gave up his Amazon Prime account to us.

53:27.280 --> 53:27.820
[SPEAKER_04]: That's crazy.

53:27.880 --> 53:28.681
[SPEAKER_04]: I would never do that.

53:29.382 --> 53:29.942
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, me either.

53:30.443 --> 53:31.904
[SPEAKER_04]: That's why she was so powerful at the end.

53:31.985 --> 53:33.086
[SPEAKER_03]: That's pretty delivery man.

53:33.166 --> 53:34.027
[SPEAKER_03]: It's important.

53:34.087 --> 53:35.028
[SPEAKER_03]: Got to watch the preacher.

53:35.248 --> 53:36.549
[SPEAKER_03]: How else are you going to watch the preacher?

53:36.589 --> 53:37.410
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

53:37.450 --> 53:40.353
[SPEAKER_04]: That's where they go back to Cybertron.

53:40.373 --> 53:42.075
[SPEAKER_04]: That's to watch the sick preacher.

53:42.535 --> 53:44.357
[SPEAKER_02]: Both seasons.

53:44.675 --> 53:48.180
[SPEAKER_02]: Just, do you get, do they put up all episodes of Scarpeda?

53:48.381 --> 53:50.103
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I got to watch Scarpeda.

53:51.586 --> 53:58.616
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, they're done fully baked in for all of the, you know, fall on season two had its struggles, is what, uh, what roadrunner or whatever's going to the same.

54:00.199 --> 54:09.012
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you guys, uh, you know, you're talking a lot of trash, but tracker, reacher, all those shows are phenomenal, so I don't know why you're even trying to bring it.

54:09.245 --> 54:10.887
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I think we've said on every page.

54:10.907 --> 54:12.669
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't try to say about this issue of transformer.

54:12.709 --> 54:16.753
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't try to turn this to a track or conversation, because Reacher and Tracker are very different.

54:17.013 --> 54:17.754
[SPEAKER_04]: Very different.

54:18.075 --> 54:21.318
[SPEAKER_04]: Reacher finds clues by stealing over and reaching for them.

54:21.698 --> 54:24.281
[SPEAKER_04]: And Tracker eats shit.

54:24.301 --> 54:26.884
[SPEAKER_04]: He eats the shit to track them.

54:26.904 --> 54:27.745
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the only way to track.

54:28.185 --> 54:29.327
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, so that's the show.

54:29.367 --> 54:31.329
[SPEAKER_03]: The very different way to track, man.

54:31.349 --> 54:32.710
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, well, it's the way he tracks.

54:32.810 --> 54:33.812
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll try to track.

54:34.532 --> 54:35.373
[SPEAKER_04]: And that doesn't track.

54:35.433 --> 54:38.897
[SPEAKER_04]: Wait, I have a couple of questions about transformers.

54:39.198 --> 54:40.702
[SPEAKER_04]: It's more than meets the eye.

54:41.224 --> 54:42.307
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'll never mind that.

54:42.508 --> 54:44.193
[SPEAKER_04]: That clears all of it up, I think.

54:44.734 --> 54:45.898
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it does, actually.

54:45.918 --> 54:46.539
[SPEAKER_04]: Let me ask you this.

54:47.061 --> 54:52.617
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a lot of here where these transformers have been in life for millions of years.

54:53.440 --> 54:56.564
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, don't, you don't corrode.

54:56.584 --> 54:59.828
[SPEAKER_04]: I do, I buy a car, drive off the ladder to appreciate some value.

55:00.049 --> 55:07.058
[SPEAKER_04]: You're telling me Optimus is still at, like, blue book about Kelly's blue book value after millions of years.

55:07.258 --> 55:15.749
[SPEAKER_03]: That really threw me, too, because to totally spoil it, a lead-up battle angel I believe is in the name of her character and ends up with a matrix of leadership.

55:16.169 --> 55:18.532
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's like, we gotta go back to Cybertron.

55:18.552 --> 55:19.574
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the number one thing.

55:19.734 --> 55:22.958
[SPEAKER_03]: And she gets like five auto-pots to go with her.

55:22.938 --> 55:26.674
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the thing that's gonna stop this war that's been going on for billions.

55:26.694 --> 55:29.144
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes all you need is five more autopots.

55:29.325 --> 55:30.349
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's all you need.

55:30.369 --> 55:31.092
[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes.

55:31.156 --> 55:34.240
[SPEAKER_04]: It was also crazy because Alida was like, I'm optimist now.

55:34.360 --> 55:36.142
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, let's go.

55:36.182 --> 55:38.024
[SPEAKER_04]: Who's going to stay here alone with optimists?

55:38.104 --> 55:39.446
[SPEAKER_04]: And then at the end, they cut to him.

55:39.967 --> 55:44.091
[SPEAKER_04]: And there's like, all of them ought to be on a boat.

55:44.111 --> 55:44.212
[SPEAKER_01]: What?

55:44.232 --> 55:54.344
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I mean, who's going to leave optimists and go with this new person who's like, let's go back to Cybertron, you know, after he gives up prime status, he's a smaller truck.

55:55.105 --> 55:56.486
[SPEAKER_05]: He's not a big, a big, a, a, a, a truck.

55:56.506 --> 55:59.610
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a,

55:59.810 --> 56:03.654
[SPEAKER_01]: It might be smaller, but he's still, it's got the same amount of fight my friend.

56:04.395 --> 56:07.919
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how he, you can see his face now, he smiles and stuff.

56:09.301 --> 56:10.762
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

56:10.782 --> 56:16.028
[SPEAKER_04]: He used to be like an 18-year-old or now he's down to like, I don't know, 12-year-old.

56:16.048 --> 56:17.790
[SPEAKER_01]: This is, I only see six wheels.

56:18.050 --> 56:29.563
[SPEAKER_01]: This is very exciting stuff, I thought this was a blast, I was a surprise by the choice that Optimus took here, but, you know, I'm not that.

56:29.763 --> 56:32.307
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm not a gracious leader, I guess.

56:32.988 --> 56:34.010
[SPEAKER_04]: It was very funny in this.

56:34.030 --> 56:38.317
[SPEAKER_04]: Also, the other Autobots were like, God, Optimus, you have to stop fighting.

56:38.337 --> 56:43.225
[SPEAKER_04]: I was like, all we do, all he does is beat the shit out, get beatin' up.

56:44.807 --> 56:47.352
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, we've seen this guy.

56:47.672 --> 56:51.619
[SPEAKER_03]: Literally the plot of Transformers is robots beating each other up.

56:51.859 --> 56:52.921
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the whole thing.

56:53.482 --> 56:55.585
[SPEAKER_03]: Odyssey, they're never in disguise.

56:56.459 --> 56:56.900
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, how dare you.

56:56.920 --> 56:59.525
[SPEAKER_04]: I haven't seen much transforming, but I used to think why would they ever in front of each other?

56:59.545 --> 57:00.487
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe if they got moved, they were bashful.

57:00.507 --> 57:10.806
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, or an an a a a a a a a a ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

57:12.052 --> 57:13.755
[SPEAKER_03]: We keep talking about this.

57:13.795 --> 57:14.336
[SPEAKER_03]: Why do we not?

57:14.356 --> 57:17.441
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I have other complaints, but I guess we can let it.

57:17.461 --> 57:18.483
[SPEAKER_03]: You can register them.

57:18.523 --> 57:28.780
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll get a storm or it's my deus mutant number two from Marvel written by Murwai Yutalei Art by Frederika Manson in this issue.

57:29.321 --> 57:33.267
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a lot going down as storm prepares for war.

57:35.103 --> 57:39.050
[SPEAKER_04]: There is a lot going down in this comic.

57:39.070 --> 57:41.495
[SPEAKER_04]: I like this comic, I like this comic a lot.

57:41.976 --> 57:47.887
[SPEAKER_04]: This arc specifically, I'm like, what we're doing just one too many things, I think this.

57:48.969 --> 57:56.503
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's a shame because I like so much of what's been put on the table, but it feels out of control, storm feels stressed.

57:57.715 --> 58:06.970
[SPEAKER_03]: I really like Wanda of the cover of this book, who is like super tidy of the quarter, looking up like, oh hey, what's going on up there?

58:06.990 --> 58:07.911
[SPEAKER_03]: That's pretty huge.

58:07.931 --> 58:09.674
[SPEAKER_03]: She's in a cute little bubble down the below.

58:10.716 --> 58:13.820
[SPEAKER_03]: She also has some nice scenes hanging out with Storm.

58:14.021 --> 58:15.102
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, those scenes together.

58:15.183 --> 58:17.646
[SPEAKER_03]: I like those, that makes costume changes.

58:18.087 --> 58:21.312
[SPEAKER_03]: I continue to really like the sound effects in this series.

58:21.432 --> 58:25.579
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a lot of very funny sound effects that happen throughout it.

58:25.559 --> 58:28.144
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, we have hit critical mass on plot.

58:29.457 --> 58:57.439
[SPEAKER_01]: yeah i would say uh yeah i i feel like the team up yeah with this car that was great uh the last panel uh was kind of fun but yeah i hope this kind of quiets down a little bit this storm quiets and we can kind of get into some different uh ideas because this is a great team a great character it's been really solid uh i hope it doesn't kind of uh blue steam here

58:58.617 --> 59:03.804
[SPEAKER_03]: Emperor Aquaman number 15 from DC Comics room by Jeremy Adams art by John Timms.

59:04.665 --> 59:14.379
[SPEAKER_03]: This is taking place after DC KO and Aquaman for part of the issue is having a journey of the soul with different aspects of himself.

59:14.920 --> 59:19.807
[SPEAKER_03]: On the second half of the issue he wraps up everything that's happened previously and that we kick into a new status quo.

59:20.287 --> 59:25.755
[SPEAKER_03]: I certainly have some thoughts I'd like to share about the spook but I'd love to hear from you guys first and see what you think.

59:26.208 --> 59:32.177
[SPEAKER_04]: I also had a journey into my soul during the first half of this podcast, and I'm now coming out of it.

59:32.197 --> 59:32.517
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

59:32.938 --> 59:35.101
[SPEAKER_03]: You integrated the three parts of your personality?

59:35.461 --> 59:35.662
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

59:36.062 --> 59:38.306
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess you had the boy, the man, and the old man.

59:38.967 --> 59:41.911
[SPEAKER_01]: Was that your the Aquaman of the podcast?

59:41.931 --> 59:42.472
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yes.

59:42.672 --> 59:43.854
[SPEAKER_04]: Always have been.

59:43.874 --> 59:46.317
[SPEAKER_04]: Especially when I had that hook hand for the police.

59:46.337 --> 59:47.279
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, that's right.

59:47.519 --> 59:48.621
[SPEAKER_01]: And then it was part of water.

59:48.661 --> 59:49.963
[SPEAKER_01]: That was crazy.

59:49.983 --> 59:50.323
[SPEAKER_01]: Crazy.

59:50.563 --> 59:51.204
[SPEAKER_01]: My whole water.

59:51.885 --> 59:52.326
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

59:52.346 --> 59:54.029
[SPEAKER_01]: I was really making a man.

59:54.049 --> 59:54.589
[SPEAKER_03]: Really?

59:54.629 --> 59:55.050
[SPEAKER_03]: Wait.

59:55.908 --> 59:56.489
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, go ahead.

59:56.509 --> 01:00:00.133
[SPEAKER_01]: Before you're going to say what I wanted to say, I thought this was awesome.

01:00:01.074 --> 01:00:08.482
[SPEAKER_01]: I liked the Mara in this issue and, you know, Alcomenka has saved her in the nick of time there.

01:00:09.023 --> 01:00:10.064
[SPEAKER_01]: Great action.

01:00:10.164 --> 01:00:10.825
[SPEAKER_01]: Great art.

01:00:11.005 --> 01:00:12.426
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought this was really fun.

01:00:13.247 --> 01:00:18.453
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I, I, I, I, I hope this continues.

01:00:18.513 --> 01:00:20.215
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I like this kind of set up.

01:00:20.275 --> 01:00:22.017
[SPEAKER_01]: So I, I was impressed.

01:00:24.005 --> 01:00:34.298
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, the, oh, do you want to, you know, go ahead, Justin, please, the, I like the, the Aquaman stuff in here and the mythological status stuff I thought was very cool.

01:00:35.259 --> 01:00:43.069
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, the, the, the Mira and her mom stuff, I, I don't know, it's harder to get on board with that.

01:00:43.109 --> 01:00:43.870
[SPEAKER_04]: It feels like,

01:00:44.677 --> 01:01:05.689
[SPEAKER_04]: especially when they're like, and Barack Man I'm like, what is all of this then and he's been he's showing up in this issue and sort of taking the reins in a way that I was like, I want either more time with Mira or just more time with Barack Man here because that's what we're going but I did like a lot of the Aquaman stuff getting into there are mythological underpinnings of the story.

01:01:06.833 --> 01:01:08.215
[SPEAKER_03]: a couple of quick thoughts.

01:01:08.655 --> 01:01:22.731
[SPEAKER_03]: First of all, I appreciated the title page, which I'm paraphrasing here, but it was like the tournament is over Superman distributed his cosmic energy to all of the tournament contenders, epic, they're up their power.

01:01:23.252 --> 01:01:26.836
[SPEAKER_03]: I was like, oh, okay, is that what happened at the end of DCKO?

01:01:26.856 --> 01:01:30.160
[SPEAKER_03]: That clarifies quite a bit of what's going on here.

01:01:30.180 --> 01:01:30.721
[SPEAKER_03]: Power boost?

01:01:30.781 --> 01:01:32.503
[SPEAKER_03]: That's yeah, everybody got a power boost.

01:01:32.543 --> 01:01:35.406
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't know that until I led the title page.

01:01:35.386 --> 01:01:36.311
[SPEAKER_03]: everyone's juiced.

01:01:36.754 --> 01:01:37.478
[SPEAKER_03]: Everybody's juiced.

01:01:37.538 --> 01:01:40.153
[SPEAKER_03]: Everybody's got that superman juiced coursing through their blood.

01:01:40.173 --> 01:01:42.325
[SPEAKER_03]: I energy.

01:01:42.575 --> 01:01:47.179
[SPEAKER_03]: Like you, Justin, really liked the stuff in the beginning.

01:01:47.239 --> 01:01:48.300
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that's what you were saying.

01:01:48.360 --> 01:02:00.231
[SPEAKER_03]: With the three Aquaman, it reminded me a bit of Boondite stuff, occasionally, and I kind of felt like that was an often an idea to potentially power an entire arc.

01:02:00.411 --> 01:02:11.181
[SPEAKER_03]: I would have been really interested to read Aquaman, exploring all the aspects of this identity over the course of, even like five or six issues or something like that, because I thought that was very cool.

01:02:12.140 --> 01:02:17.932
[SPEAKER_03]: The I agree with you about all the barista felt like they needed to kind of wrap up this arc before moving on to the next thing.

01:02:18.052 --> 01:02:22.842
[SPEAKER_03]: I do have questions about where they're heading because the entire issue I was like, this is called Emperor Aquabad.

01:02:22.862 --> 01:02:24.486
[SPEAKER_03]: We're not saying Emperor Aquabad.

01:02:24.506 --> 01:02:25.508
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what that means.

01:02:25.792 --> 01:02:37.648
[SPEAKER_03]: until the end, when everybody calls Emperor Aquaman, and that it teases the next issue where he's saying their new mission is not just the seas on Earth, it's the seas everywhere.

01:02:37.688 --> 01:02:44.577
[SPEAKER_03]: Are they good to do the intergalactic empire of Wakanda but with a white guy?

01:02:44.557 --> 01:02:47.340
[SPEAKER_04]: Interesting.

01:02:47.360 --> 01:02:56.992
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't think that, but I was thinking more because he went through to absolute universe, did all the portal stuff.

01:02:57.012 --> 01:03:04.180
[SPEAKER_04]: I was just thinking, oh, he's going to be a crossover character, but if he's like, I go with a water ghost.

01:03:05.302 --> 01:03:06.163
[SPEAKER_04]: I agree with you.

01:03:06.183 --> 01:03:07.304
[SPEAKER_04]: That's not cool.

01:03:08.185 --> 01:03:08.806
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but we'll see.

01:03:08.866 --> 01:03:10.328
[SPEAKER_03]: It's all going to be in the execution.

01:03:10.348 --> 01:03:12.370
[SPEAKER_03]: It was just seeing that like,

01:03:12.805 --> 01:03:17.744
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought it meant space water like we were going to get space water in the next issue.

01:03:18.206 --> 01:03:20.976
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, that's what the intergalactic empire would be.

01:03:22.492 --> 01:03:23.434
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, I guess we'll see.

01:03:23.654 --> 01:03:24.516
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess we'll see what happens.

01:03:24.556 --> 01:03:26.841
[SPEAKER_03]: No need to get upset in advance.

01:03:26.861 --> 01:03:28.725
[SPEAKER_04]: I like to start the day with some space water.

01:03:29.005 --> 01:03:29.406
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

01:03:29.426 --> 01:03:33.855
[SPEAKER_03]: That of 255 from Marvel written by Al-Uing Art by Carlos Gomez.

01:03:33.875 --> 01:03:43.555
[SPEAKER_03]: This is continuing the Death Spiral Crossover, which is putting new villain torment against Venom and Spider-Man and it turns out also carnage.

01:03:43.535 --> 01:04:05.475
[SPEAKER_03]: which goes down this issue as venom and spiderbed figure out the carton just not behind the murder of the shocker I'll just know we had Joe Kelly who didn't write this issue But as part of this crossover on the live show podcast this week great chat with him go and listen to that But what do you guys think death spiral still spiraling up up up in part number three

01:04:05.455 --> 01:04:24.342
[SPEAKER_04]: it is and I talked about this a little bit in our interview with Joe that in the previous issue of this crossover when Mary Jane and Peter revealed to each other that she will she revealed that she was venom and he was like what and he was like I was in space.

01:04:24.490 --> 01:04:27.213
[SPEAKER_04]: I was like, this is it, this is where the romcom begins.

01:04:27.573 --> 01:04:30.276
[SPEAKER_04]: And I feel like this issue only made that case stronger.

01:04:30.616 --> 01:04:34.620
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, I think they're going to have a spider romance.

01:04:34.660 --> 01:04:38.764
[SPEAKER_04]: They're coming in a different sort of power dynamic area.

01:04:40.285 --> 01:04:42.848
[SPEAKER_04]: I think he's going to be a rush.

01:04:42.868 --> 01:04:44.469
[SPEAKER_04]: And now it's going to be just what you want, Pete.

01:04:44.990 --> 01:04:47.653
[SPEAKER_04]: A sick threesome between Peter Mary, Janet Venom.

01:04:48.654 --> 01:04:49.114
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, man.

01:04:49.615 --> 01:04:51.156
[SPEAKER_01]: I am against that.

01:04:51.423 --> 01:04:55.688
[SPEAKER_01]: as long as, uh, all right, yeah, I think that'd be fun.

01:04:56.268 --> 01:04:59.172
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, I love Goop play.

01:05:02.635 --> 01:05:07.621
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I thought this was a great issue with the things are getting interesting.

01:05:07.661 --> 01:05:14.829
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, I think that the kind of new status quo is getting interesting.

01:05:14.849 --> 01:05:17.532
[SPEAKER_01]: I am nervously excited about what this means.

01:05:17.798 --> 01:05:19.561
[SPEAKER_01]: Spider-Man and MJ moving forward.

01:05:19.942 --> 01:05:31.280
[SPEAKER_01]: But crazy last panel, what's great is I don't, you know, sometimes when they have this kind of big villain set up, you end up really hating the villain or like being like, well, whatever.

01:05:31.400 --> 01:05:37.030
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is an interesting, so I'm kind of still intrigued by what's happening.

01:05:37.070 --> 01:05:39.013
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think they're doing a good job of kind of like,

01:05:39.550 --> 01:06:02.858
[SPEAKER_03]: pumping up this uh... this kind of crossover i love this i think the characterization is so good in here agree with everything you guys said it all add on that all you in rights are really good carnage the way that carnage of the background eddy block freaking out because clearly his dad has been set up to die and cartage you can hear the tone of oh

01:06:02.838 --> 01:06:05.643
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm so sorry, Eddie, did I set this up?

01:06:06.244 --> 01:06:12.835
[SPEAKER_03]: It comes through so clearly in the writing, and it's so darkly comic throughout, that is great.

01:06:13.556 --> 01:06:15.299
[SPEAKER_03]: I do really like this villain.

01:06:15.319 --> 01:06:20.909
[SPEAKER_03]: I like seeing the way everybody's teaming up and fighting against each other.

01:06:20.949 --> 01:06:22.652
[SPEAKER_03]: My one little quibble.

01:06:22.632 --> 01:06:25.578
[SPEAKER_03]: You didn't like the Frank Sinatra joke, you didn't like that?

01:06:25.919 --> 01:06:26.541
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's fine.

01:06:27.002 --> 01:06:35.741
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't like the fact that Venom and Spider-Man see Carnage ruled written in blood on a wall that are like, what's the Carnage that wrote that?

01:06:36.362 --> 01:06:41.333
[SPEAKER_03]: But it's clearly like, no, that is not Carnage that is specifically what that's indicating.

01:06:41.752 --> 01:06:46.419
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I also thought I was trying to say, okay, I feel like they said carnage rules, and I was like, it says ruled.

01:06:47.140 --> 01:06:47.981
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, very clearly.

01:06:48.522 --> 01:06:48.763
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

01:06:49.243 --> 01:06:52.168
[SPEAKER_03]: So I don't know, that was a little bit of a right relief thing.

01:06:52.208 --> 01:06:56.454
[SPEAKER_03]: I think, to send them a ride down the wrong path, so they could come in conflict with Eddie Brock.

01:06:56.855 --> 01:07:01.322
[SPEAKER_03]: I still like how it executed, so I'm not too upset about it, but good stuff.

01:07:01.722 --> 01:07:05.548
[SPEAKER_04]: What do you think about the way the carnage just pops at is eyeball out?

01:07:05.917 --> 01:07:06.439
[SPEAKER_04]: gross.

01:07:06.880 --> 01:07:07.864
[SPEAKER_04]: Is that his real eye?

01:07:08.365 --> 01:07:09.027
[SPEAKER_03]: I think so.

01:07:09.630 --> 01:07:09.951
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:07:10.031 --> 01:07:11.877
[SPEAKER_03]: It's weird that Eddie just sits there and takes it.

01:07:12.941 --> 01:07:14.506
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, because I'm sorry, he's got a choice.

01:07:15.048 --> 01:07:17.496
[SPEAKER_03]: I know, but I didn't like rolling around in the screaming.

01:07:18.168 --> 01:07:24.941
[SPEAKER_04]: He's tougher than you, hypothetically, we can never prove it, we can't prove it.

01:07:25.201 --> 01:07:28.528
[SPEAKER_01]: Great, save there at the end of the set, search us as well.

01:07:28.548 --> 01:07:29.289
[SPEAKER_01]: It's hypothetical.

01:07:30.752 --> 01:07:31.533
[SPEAKER_04]: It's really talking.

01:07:31.774 --> 01:07:36.042
[SPEAKER_04]: We speak in opinions, it takes from Luke 1 to blazing hot.

01:07:36.022 --> 01:07:40.066
[SPEAKER_04]: My question though is, would he reattach this nerve?

01:07:40.366 --> 01:07:44.450
[SPEAKER_04]: Is now Eddie's eyeball nerve carnage coup?

01:07:45.311 --> 01:07:50.516
[SPEAKER_03]: No carnage can like venom can basically remake his entire body, right?

01:07:50.877 --> 01:07:55.021
[SPEAKER_03]: Like he explains the issue he says I can give you a new face, I can- Yes, make you.

01:07:55.561 --> 01:08:01.287
[SPEAKER_04]: But I mean more like, if carnage leaves, it's like, what's his eyeball status?

01:08:02.363 --> 01:08:02.944
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, later.

01:08:02.964 --> 01:08:07.151
[SPEAKER_03]: I think at this point, he's fixed his eyeball and his eyeball would still be there.

01:08:07.231 --> 01:08:13.181
[SPEAKER_03]: But right now, carnage ad eddy or bonded together, and if they separate, they both die.

01:08:14.222 --> 01:08:14.323
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:08:14.543 --> 01:08:14.723
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.

01:08:15.344 --> 01:08:16.146
[SPEAKER_03]: So nice things.

01:08:16.767 --> 01:08:18.229
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, but the eyeball would still be there.

01:08:19.508 --> 01:08:34.196
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, which is the main concern undiscovered country number thirty five from image comics written by Scott Snyder and Charles soul art by Giuseppe Cabin Coli and Leonardo Marcello Grossi We're really getting to the end here of this book.

01:08:34.376 --> 01:08:34.797
[SPEAKER_03]: Are we?

01:08:35.538 --> 01:08:36.039
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

01:08:36.941 --> 01:08:38.063
[SPEAKER_04]: I think next issue.

01:08:38.243 --> 01:08:39.846
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, next issue or the issue.

01:08:39.866 --> 01:08:42.411
[SPEAKER_04]: You've been saying that for so many years.

01:08:42.391 --> 01:08:46.116
[SPEAKER_03]: I think this has been coming out the entire time we've been doing the show, potentially.

01:08:46.136 --> 01:09:10.086
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd be very curious to Scott and Charles about this, because we talked to them multiple times over the run of the series, what this experience was like, because wow, this is taking a long time to come out, but we aren't getting down to it as our survivors are facing down Aurora, the American computer that has completely changed the landscape.

01:09:10.066 --> 01:09:19.260
[SPEAKER_03]: I've been a little back and forth on this series sometimes even though I really like the creative team, but I think they are bringing it home nicely in this last arc.

01:09:19.340 --> 01:09:20.782
[SPEAKER_03]: There are really high stakes.

01:09:20.822 --> 01:09:21.924
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a clear villain.

01:09:21.964 --> 01:09:26.691
[SPEAKER_03]: You can keep track of all the characters because most of them have been killed at this point.

01:09:27.573 --> 01:09:29.596
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm enjoying this.

01:09:29.656 --> 01:09:32.260
[SPEAKER_03]: I think this is really bringing it home in a nice way.

01:09:32.965 --> 01:09:33.747
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I agree.

01:09:33.867 --> 01:09:43.853
[SPEAKER_01]: This continues to be creatively impressive, hell of a last panel, amazing art, unique story.

01:09:44.795 --> 01:10:10.279
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the only thing that kind of hurt this comic was it went away for a little bit then came back so like it's tough to keep track of all the things that happened but I think that that's easily solved in like a trade or something like that but man I think if they kind of really can pull this off they will really kind of be impressive so I'm rooting for it yeah.

01:10:11.086 --> 01:10:11.987
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, same.

01:10:12.227 --> 01:10:15.831
[SPEAKER_04]: I, we, like Alex, you're saying, we've been reading this for so long.

01:10:16.811 --> 01:10:37.431
[SPEAKER_04]: So I excited to see what the final statement is here, and I know these guys have been very carefully building out the story and that there's just so many ideas of what they think about technology, America, politics, societies across the board, and so I'm very much looking for the final

01:10:37.799 --> 01:10:42.143
[SPEAKER_03]: Would it be really funny if the final issue, the final battle was like, you know what?

01:10:42.163 --> 01:10:43.605
[SPEAKER_03]: America is pretty great.

01:10:44.426 --> 01:10:45.086
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

01:10:45.106 --> 01:10:46.067
[SPEAKER_04]: Pure patriotism.

01:10:46.648 --> 01:10:47.369
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

01:10:47.389 --> 01:10:50.692
[SPEAKER_03]: Happy 250th birthday, America.

01:10:51.673 --> 01:10:51.933
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

01:10:51.954 --> 01:10:52.474
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess we'll see.

01:10:52.574 --> 01:10:53.095
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll find out.

01:10:53.235 --> 01:10:58.400
[SPEAKER_03]: Magic and Colossus, number two, from Marvel, written by Ashley Allen, art by Germán Proralta.

01:10:58.500 --> 01:11:03.165
[SPEAKER_03]: And this issue, a Rasputin siblings fight some mermaids.

01:11:03.702 --> 01:11:05.085

01:11:21.353 --> 01:11:24.998
[SPEAKER_04]: You guys know The one that's right here on this screen.

01:11:25.018 --> 01:11:26.501
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I could don't describe it.

01:11:27.061 --> 01:11:29.845
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, no, I would never I just say it's right here And I point at it.

01:11:29.866 --> 01:11:31.187
[SPEAKER_04]: This is great.

01:11:31.208 --> 01:11:32.850
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I say like this is great.

01:11:33.090 --> 01:11:33.671
[SPEAKER_04]: This is great.

01:11:33.691 --> 01:11:49.234
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm here All this circle podcast all for the audio podcast But no, I mean like this is an extended sequence with just mermaid murder mermaids Which I was like, oh, not what I expected out of this comic

01:11:50.750 --> 01:11:52.356
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's fun.

01:11:52.376 --> 01:11:53.702
[SPEAKER_01]: I enjoyed this.

01:11:53.882 --> 01:11:58.179
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was, you know, they kind of bonded after they beat up some urmades.

01:11:59.544 --> 01:12:01.030
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:12:01.550 --> 01:12:08.542
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we kind of get this classic, not again ending, you know, but yeah, I'm enjoying this.

01:12:08.883 --> 01:12:14.974
[SPEAKER_01]: I think these two are fun and, you know, it'll be interesting to see what the kind of twist is this time.

01:12:15.916 --> 01:12:19.242
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, we need a redemption arc for Colossus.

01:12:19.282 --> 01:12:21.786
[SPEAKER_04]: He's a character that hasn't done much.

01:12:21.766 --> 01:12:37.665
[SPEAKER_04]: and then has been a straight-up villain in the last like year and a half in the whole kind of universe like very like he was the bad guy in the ultimate will bring for a while and in uh... it was in the crossover the age of revelation he was about his ex-force

01:12:38.742 --> 01:12:40.705
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, right, the X4's run, that's right.

01:12:42.208 --> 01:12:48.638
[SPEAKER_04]: Where Mikhail, his brother, was sort of taking over something and it was hard to tell exactly what's happening.

01:12:48.798 --> 01:12:51.462
[SPEAKER_04]: But I, last, this is a badass character.

01:12:51.883 --> 01:12:57.472
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, we get just, there's a couple little moments in the here where he just is tracking someone's face.

01:12:57.492 --> 01:13:00.497
[SPEAKER_04]: I was like, yeah, he's got a metal, metal.

01:13:00.595 --> 01:13:13.472
[SPEAKER_03]: The one thing I wanted to add to you said I thought good action in this issue like I know we're making fun of the Burmaid fight but the Burmaid fight was pretty cool and it was well laid out and a lot of fun so I've enjoyed this series so far.

01:13:14.053 --> 01:13:24.407
[SPEAKER_03]: Harley and Ivy, Life and Crimes number four from DC Comics by Erica Henderson, we're continuing the burgeoning relationship of Harley and Ivy this issue.

01:13:24.467 --> 01:13:30.535
[SPEAKER_03]: They have been cornered naked after hooking up for the first time by the

01:13:30.515 --> 01:13:37.482
[SPEAKER_03]: to work that out, and that's a large part of the comedy of this issue, just great.

01:13:37.642 --> 01:13:47.652
[SPEAKER_03]: I know I've said this for the previous three issues, but just yeah, perfect art, really good relationship stuff, great, just romance, comic, I'm having a lot of fun reading this.

01:13:48.193 --> 01:13:53.898
[SPEAKER_04]: No better icebreaker than a fun romp completely in the nude with a potential romantic partner.

01:13:54.259 --> 01:13:58.463
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, particularly in Gotham City, where those streets are probably disgusting.

01:13:58.510 --> 01:14:03.537
[SPEAKER_04]: They're going to need their tennis shots, which is another intimate thing you can do with a new partner.

01:14:03.577 --> 01:14:05.980
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I also love this.

01:14:06.601 --> 01:14:12.770
[SPEAKER_01]: Just the two of them, the way this issue started, two of them on our motorcycle, I was like, I'm already in.

01:14:12.790 --> 01:14:15.974
[SPEAKER_01]: This is such a fun kind of start.

01:14:16.074 --> 01:14:23.725
[SPEAKER_01]: And the art is such an amazing job of like this fun vibe that really encapsulates both of them.

01:14:23.705 --> 01:14:24.967
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they're working in out.

01:14:24.987 --> 01:14:30.658
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to continue to see each other, which is so exciting, very much pulling for these two.

01:14:30.678 --> 01:14:37.952
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I was absolutely loving this issue and it is worth it for the art alone.

01:14:38.012 --> 01:14:39.736
[SPEAKER_01]: This is unbelievable art.

01:14:40.056 --> 01:14:41.219
[SPEAKER_01]: So epic and great.

01:14:41.259 --> 01:14:46.168
[SPEAKER_03]: So I would say it's worth it for the words alone, but take it out.

01:14:47.077 --> 01:15:14.451
[SPEAKER_03]: What is it for editorial choices or worth it for the staples alone at planet of the Apes versus fantastic for number two from Marvel written by Josh Truelio Ard by Andrea DeVito last issue for the apes for the classic planet of the apes got the fantastic force powers while they lost their powers this issue they explore further how to possibly get home while mysterious forces work in the background

01:15:14.431 --> 01:15:21.600
[SPEAKER_03]: I think at least two out of the three of us were pleasantly surprised at by the first issue of this, how do we think about issue number two?

01:15:21.640 --> 01:15:24.484
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's cool.

01:15:24.504 --> 01:15:36.439
[SPEAKER_04]: I know anything, and this is such a bad thing to say, but I really wanted them to crash land on plan of the apes after their first mission, where they got their powers.

01:15:36.689 --> 01:15:37.871
[SPEAKER_04]: So they were not new at it?

01:15:38.432 --> 01:15:38.733
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

01:15:40.175 --> 01:15:44.262
[SPEAKER_04]: Because that I was like, oh, that's a perfect one to one to the original Charlemken.

01:15:44.282 --> 01:15:51.475
[SPEAKER_04]: Heston, which I guess they're also not really doing here, but like of him being like totally out of sorts on the plan of the game.

01:15:51.488 --> 01:15:53.891
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, but this is this is in continuity.

01:15:53.951 --> 01:15:56.954
[SPEAKER_03]: This takes place after the original platter of the apes.

01:15:56.974 --> 01:15:58.575
[SPEAKER_03]: They keep referencing bright eyes.

01:15:58.636 --> 01:16:02.059
[SPEAKER_03]: And we can just see the shuttle, this issue.

01:16:02.259 --> 01:16:04.342
[SPEAKER_03]: I was meant to say, I'm sorry.

01:16:04.422 --> 01:16:06.103
[SPEAKER_01]: Pete, you don't like platter of the apes.

01:16:06.164 --> 01:16:06.784
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you like this?

01:16:07.905 --> 01:16:09.787
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's not really my cup of tea.

01:16:09.807 --> 01:16:11.589
[SPEAKER_01]: But the art is really impressive.

01:16:11.910 --> 01:16:16.294
[SPEAKER_01]: I do feel, though, if you are a pot of fan, you will like this.

01:16:17.836 --> 01:16:19.858
[SPEAKER_01]: Why don't you like the platter of the apes?

01:16:20.615 --> 01:16:25.642
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's just never struck me as fond or cool.

01:16:26.343 --> 01:16:28.567
[SPEAKER_01]: Which part don't you like the planet or the games?

01:16:28.987 --> 01:16:30.710
[SPEAKER_03]: Probably the apes.

01:16:30.730 --> 01:16:33.233
[SPEAKER_03]: There was, you've told this story before.

01:16:33.294 --> 01:16:35.477
[SPEAKER_03]: Pete, the time you went to the zoo in an eight-bit your head.

01:16:37.380 --> 01:16:39.162
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, told the money time.

01:16:39.182 --> 01:16:40.604
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:16:40.624 --> 01:16:42.026
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's it, that's the whole story.

01:16:42.046 --> 01:16:42.848
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the whole story.

01:16:42.868 --> 01:16:44.530
[SPEAKER_01]: They didn't even refund my ticket.

01:16:44.763 --> 01:16:47.270
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry about that.

01:16:47.671 --> 01:16:52.164
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you read the five print right on the back of the tip of ticket is like no refunds if it ain't bites your head.

01:16:53.407 --> 01:16:53.507
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

01:16:53.527 --> 01:16:58.361
[SPEAKER_04]: And for how many years did you wait and see if you're going to get the powers of an eight?

01:16:59.785 --> 01:17:00.527
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm still waiting.

01:17:01.418 --> 01:17:06.604
[SPEAKER_04]: you're just like keeping a bunch of bananas in your room and be like, I'm going to crave these.

01:17:07.225 --> 01:17:09.007
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh yeah, always keep bananas ready.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's bananas just all over it.

01:17:11.790 --> 01:17:12.651
[SPEAKER_03]: I need bananas for you.

[SPEAKER_04]: I always keep bananas ready, says Pete.

01:17:16.596 --> 01:17:18.198
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a Pete quote, what he just said.

[SPEAKER_04]: I always keep bananas ready.

01:17:21.562 --> 01:17:22.323
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you mean peeled?

[SPEAKER_04]: Like a cartoon?

01:17:26.648 --> 01:17:28.270
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you buy ready with these bananas?

01:17:28.756 --> 01:17:33.793
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you can't have super tight bananas if you don't have any bananas, you know what I mean?

01:17:33.813 --> 01:17:37.585
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you have to resist it out as to compare.

01:17:38.240 --> 01:17:39.963
[SPEAKER_03]: Excuse me, sir.

01:17:39.983 --> 01:17:43.508

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is just...

01:18:19.482 --> 01:18:26.030

01:19:44.228 --> 01:19:47.812
[SPEAKER_04]: And then in my last act, bit Pete.

01:22:55.540 --> 01:23:09.037
[SPEAKER_03]: to solve a series of murderers that are happening in Gotham while wearing a variety of costumes add dealing with romantic troubles of their own or maybe not so much troubles in Catwoman and Batman's.

01:23:09.998 --> 01:23:10.739

[SPEAKER_02]: I was 12.

01:23:35.808 --> 01:23:43.897
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I thought this was fun, you know, the star science was kind of cool for the enemy villain stuff.

01:23:43.917 --> 01:23:46.059
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, ours good.

01:23:47.181 --> 01:23:48.362
[SPEAKER_01]: Villain was interesting.

01:23:49.186 --> 01:23:54.676
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the real standout here as Babs Tars are just the design and sort of great of the characters.

01:23:54.756 --> 01:23:59.344
[SPEAKER_03]: It's very fun to just flip through and look at your stuff, TD Howard's words are good as well.

01:23:59.504 --> 01:24:02.950
[SPEAKER_03]: But as I always say, it's worth it for the art alone.
