WEBVTT 00:08.384 --> 00:09.285 [SPEAKER_00]: What is up everybody? 00:09.325 --> 00:17.078 [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to the stack on Alex on Pete and on the stack we talk about a bunch of books that have come out to us week. 00:17.458 --> 00:20.423 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, we don't this has been a weird week for comics. 00:20.443 --> 00:25.050 [SPEAKER_00]: They're actually we're not a crazy amount of comics that came out, but we're going to talk about some great ones. 00:25.070 --> 00:26.292 [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much. 00:26.272 --> 00:28.637 [SPEAKER_00]: and perfect about you're happy with this stack. 00:29.018 --> 00:29.860 [SPEAKER_00]: Why don't we get it to it? 00:29.940 --> 00:31.343 [SPEAKER_00]: There are some big ones anyway. 00:31.764 --> 00:37.676 [SPEAKER_00]: Kick it off with a fury of firestorm number one from DC Comics written by Jeff Lamier, art by Raphael Del La Torre. 00:37.997 --> 00:40.102 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a part of the next level initiative. 00:40.482 --> 00:42.627 [SPEAKER_00]: So we're gonna get brand new. 00:42.607 --> 00:45.191 [SPEAKER_00]: creator forward to take on firestorm. 00:45.211 --> 00:53.083 [SPEAKER_00]: You don't really need to know much to jump into this, but we're getting much more of like a small town horror or take is the way I'd put it. 00:53.563 --> 01:02.256 [SPEAKER_00]: There's a mystery around what's going on with firestorm, Ronnie Raymond, ostensibly, as far as anybody knows, comes into a small town and starts going nuts on it. 01:02.837 --> 01:08.966 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a little bit like some of the stuff I think we see from Captain Adam recently more of the firestorm I would say. 01:09.507 --> 01:10.268 [SPEAKER_00]: But, 01:10.248 --> 01:15.809 [SPEAKER_00]: That all said without getting too deep into it, and I will give a spoiler morning for everything we're talking about in the stack today. 01:16.532 --> 01:17.777 [SPEAKER_00]: What'd you think about this book, Pete? 01:18.297 --> 01:27.408 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I grew to you, and the writer and artist on this is a fantastic, so it's a great package, it's a great team. 01:28.109 --> 01:47.393 [SPEAKER_02]: The problem I run into is firestorm is not my guy, you know, he's like, I'm like, I have with the two becoming one thing, and I don't know man, it gets a little weird for me, so yeah, I do think it's an interesting idea, great first issue, 01:47.373 --> 01:51.379 [SPEAKER_02]: It's hard to get behind it if it's just not your gym, you know what I mean? 01:51.399 --> 01:52.220 [SPEAKER_00]: No, I hear what you're saying. 01:52.460 --> 01:55.104 [SPEAKER_00]: I think I would actually take the opposite take. 01:55.284 --> 02:04.818 [SPEAKER_00]: I've certainly liked a lot of stuff for Firestorm, but I do think, particularly if you don't like Firestorm, maybe this is a good one to pick up because he's sort of the bad guy here. 02:05.278 --> 02:06.040 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, little nuts. 02:06.941 --> 02:16.975 [SPEAKER_00]: Doing these experiments as I said, I was really impressed by 02:16.955 --> 02:19.600 [SPEAKER_00]: Jeff Lemir love everything that he does. 02:19.640 --> 02:24.570 [SPEAKER_00]: This does feel similar to a lot of stuff that he's done on like black hammer and other things. 02:24.671 --> 02:27.115 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a little more in that realm of the DC stuff. 02:28.218 --> 02:31.604 [SPEAKER_00]: There's a little bit of a storybook feel going on here. 02:31.705 --> 02:34.390 [SPEAKER_00]: So definitely feels within his 02:34.370 --> 02:36.855 [SPEAKER_00]: realm, but I dug this. 02:37.035 --> 02:37.997 [SPEAKER_00]: I like the hard take. 02:38.077 --> 02:39.279 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm interested in the mysteries. 02:39.800 --> 02:46.834 [SPEAKER_00]: There is a cool reveal of another character in here that is deeply tied to firestorm history that to be honest. 02:46.874 --> 02:47.996 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't really know much about. 02:49.018 --> 02:50.982 [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm intrigued to find out more about her. 02:51.683 --> 02:52.385 [SPEAKER_00]: So I liked it. 02:52.986 --> 02:53.887 [SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was a good time. 02:53.928 --> 02:55.230 [SPEAKER_00]: Nice. 02:55.210 --> 02:55.832 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, great. 02:56.032 --> 02:56.273 [SPEAKER_00]: All right. 02:56.313 --> 02:59.260 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, thank you for being a accommodating of my good time Peter. 03:00.123 --> 03:01.606 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not trying to yuck your young man. 03:02.047 --> 03:02.970 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no appreciate it. 03:02.990 --> 03:06.118 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, let's see if you yuck my young here web venom number one for Marvel. 03:06.459 --> 03:10.148 [SPEAKER_00]: We're in by Jordan Morris art by Luke Ross and Rebon Rosanna's 03:10.432 --> 03:22.986 [SPEAKER_00]: Now I should mention we didn't have a live show this week because I'm traveling if you're listening to the podcast, maybe this audio is terrible, I don't know, I'm going to random Airbnb in the middle of Massachusetts, but just to just traveling as well. 03:23.066 --> 03:25.308 [SPEAKER_00]: So P thankfully hopped on for this. 03:25.749 --> 03:31.795 [SPEAKER_00]: The reason I mention this is we had Jordan Morris on for our quote unquote live show where we talked about web event. 03:32.236 --> 03:36.000 [SPEAKER_00]: So you can listen to that podcast that's in the feed now and I should also mention 03:35.980 --> 03:43.451 [SPEAKER_00]: If you want add free versions of this podcast and all the podcasts, we do patreon.com slash comic book club, a little bit of a pluggie, yeah, wow there. 03:44.112 --> 03:45.815 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, you get to the top of it, please. 03:46.455 --> 03:46.956 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, sorry. 03:47.457 --> 03:55.929 [SPEAKER_00]: The thing we talked to Jordan about, though, was that they had this idea for a suit, right? 03:56.130 --> 03:59.855 [SPEAKER_00]: That was like, oh, what if it was a venom, but he looked like spider-bath. 03:59.875 --> 04:01.718 [SPEAKER_00]: That's basically the idea. 04:01.850 --> 04:17.974 [SPEAKER_00]: It premiered in an issue of Venom, where Venom was tried to pretend to be Spider-Man, then Jordan wrote sort of like a, what if style, I'll elsewhere the story, but a guy named Eddie Parker, who had a Venom suit like this that was Pete. 04:18.575 --> 04:20.098 [SPEAKER_00]: This is an entirely different guy. 04:20.138 --> 04:23.723 [SPEAKER_00]: There's a little bit of a mystery there that they've kept secret so far. 04:23.703 --> 04:28.134 [SPEAKER_00]: But it is a character, you know, from Spider-Man Laurie, you find a very quickly in the issue who it is. 04:28.475 --> 04:29.839 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not a dragged out mystery. 04:30.721 --> 04:32.426 [SPEAKER_00]: But we find that out. 04:32.466 --> 04:35.032 [SPEAKER_00]: This character goes on adventure, some stuff happens with him. 04:35.694 --> 04:37.900 [SPEAKER_00]: I thought this was a lot of fun. 04:38.020 --> 04:39.163 [SPEAKER_02]: What about you, Pete? 04:39.143 --> 04:40.405 [SPEAKER_02]: 100% agree. 04:40.485 --> 04:44.130 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I did think this was a blast funny bits. 04:44.250 --> 04:45.071 [SPEAKER_02]: I laughed out loud. 04:45.111 --> 04:46.173 [SPEAKER_02]: The venom rings. 04:46.714 --> 04:47.174 [SPEAKER_02]: That's right. 04:47.254 --> 04:47.935 [SPEAKER_02]: True believer. 04:48.316 --> 04:49.057 [SPEAKER_02]: True believer. 04:49.437 --> 04:49.998 [SPEAKER_02]: Keep reading. 04:50.078 --> 04:51.460 [SPEAKER_02]: I thought that was a really funny bit. 04:52.742 --> 04:55.846 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I liked the vibe of it. 04:55.886 --> 05:02.415 [SPEAKER_02]: The kind of the whole kind of joke of like what if we just did this is great in this kind of web of idea. 05:02.936 --> 05:03.937 [SPEAKER_02]: Well executed. 05:04.779 --> 05:08.644 [SPEAKER_02]: Kind of reminds me of what we're doing over in the 05:08.624 --> 05:11.592 [SPEAKER_02]: beef and people up and have some fun, you know what I mean? 05:12.213 --> 05:14.820 [SPEAKER_02]: What if we beefed it, though, you know what I mean? 05:14.940 --> 05:16.564 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, how hard can you beef it, you know? 05:16.925 --> 05:17.667 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly. 05:17.687 --> 05:20.915 [SPEAKER_00]: How can you turn it to 11, like what happens, you know? 05:20.935 --> 05:25.587 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, after 11 on the dial, I believe it's beef, if you go high enough. 05:25.567 --> 05:37.203 [SPEAKER_00]: I feel a little conflicted about the character they choose here because I like the place he has at the universe, but I think for what it is, Jordan did a fun job of the channeling the voice of this character. 05:37.244 --> 05:45.776 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm jumping around because it is something they want to keep us prized, but there is a really fun bit at the beginning here where the characters like, boy, how did I get here? 05:45.976 --> 05:49.160 [SPEAKER_00]: And that I'm soon as like, you don't have time to reminisce. 05:49.180 --> 05:50.983 [SPEAKER_00]: You said, no, no, I got a reminisce real quick. 05:50.963 --> 06:11.290 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna get a flashback and then he flashes back from the Venom suits perspective as well the Venom suits like why I know that why are you so a lot of fun jokes But also some like a really cool action towards the trash as well So here's hoping there's more there's definitely leaves it open for more. 06:11.711 --> 06:12.211 [SPEAKER_00]: I enjoyed it. 06:13.012 --> 06:15.756 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a double enjoy for bees 06:16.040 --> 06:16.501 [SPEAKER_00]: nice. 06:17.562 --> 06:24.710 [SPEAKER_00]: And let's see if it makes a hat trick of enjoying with neighborhood watch number one for boob studios written by Sarah Galley, art by Hanyng. 06:25.271 --> 06:27.833 [SPEAKER_00]: This is focusing on two different communities. 06:27.894 --> 06:30.296 [SPEAKER_00]: One is like a very crunchy co-op community. 06:30.336 --> 06:34.501 [SPEAKER_00]: The other is a high-end gated community style place. 06:35.462 --> 06:40.528 [SPEAKER_00]: We are watching both of them simultaneously go through their days until there's a disappearance 06:40.508 --> 06:43.713 [SPEAKER_00]: in both communities that leads to a surprising twist by the end. 06:44.434 --> 06:48.941 [SPEAKER_00]: I thought this was great making at the enjoyment tattric. 06:49.322 --> 06:51.185 [SPEAKER_00]: This is actually, I think, my favorite issue of the week. 06:51.425 --> 06:52.848 [SPEAKER_00]: I love telling us to doubt. 06:53.028 --> 06:58.737 [SPEAKER_00]: I like cackled a little bit when there's the eventual reveal that happens about three quarters of the way through the issue. 06:58.717 --> 07:00.619 [SPEAKER_00]: I just thought it was so well done. 07:01.140 --> 07:02.842 [SPEAKER_00]: Sarah Gillie just writes some great stuff. 07:02.942 --> 07:04.484 [SPEAKER_00]: I really like adding some art here. 07:05.145 --> 07:07.928 [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, presents these two different worlds, presents a cool mystery. 07:08.269 --> 07:09.130 [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I'm I'm bored. 07:09.470 --> 07:14.036 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking to watch what happens with neighbor and watch. 07:14.056 --> 07:15.938 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's a lot of watch that going on. 07:16.058 --> 07:18.401 [SPEAKER_02]: It really lives up to the title, which is nice. 07:19.022 --> 07:20.724 [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, I love the art neighborhoods. 07:20.764 --> 07:21.725 [SPEAKER_00]: There's two neighborhoods. 07:21.865 --> 07:23.948 [SPEAKER_00]: And they should actually call it two neighborhood watch. 07:24.012 --> 07:25.033 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you're right. 07:25.114 --> 07:25.414 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 07:25.674 --> 07:27.797 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, you don't want to hit it with the two to early. 07:27.877 --> 07:28.338 [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean? 07:28.678 --> 07:32.944 [SPEAKER_02]: You gotta be like, never watch two the next version, so yeah. 07:32.964 --> 07:36.209 [SPEAKER_02]: But I also really thought the art vibe was really smart. 07:36.249 --> 07:40.354 [SPEAKER_02]: Like, they use the just the panels, which normally might be white or black. 07:40.715 --> 07:44.801 [SPEAKER_02]: They kind of set these characters with different colors, and it match them. 07:44.861 --> 07:51.690 [SPEAKER_02]: So when we're switching back and forth, it really kind of kept it in this kind of vibe for the character, which I thought was super smart. 07:51.670 --> 08:06.675 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we kind of got this creepy cultish town type thing going on, but yeah, I'm a little scared, but you know, horror is not my bag, but I'm enjoying this so far, nervously. 08:06.908 --> 08:08.290 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 08:08.310 --> 08:13.636 [SPEAKER_00]: I definitely say pick this up if you're looking for a good new mystery series with like Pete was saying some great art. 08:14.037 --> 08:22.007 [SPEAKER_00]: Let's move it on back to the old Marvel with uncanny X-Men number 26 written by Gelsmode out by Luciano Vecchio. 08:22.548 --> 08:26.773 [SPEAKER_00]: So they've been teasing the solicits that there's a big secret. 08:26.753 --> 08:31.321 [SPEAKER_00]: for uncanny X man something about why the team got together that they've been teasing since the beginning. 08:32.202 --> 08:34.146 [SPEAKER_00]: They don't think they reveal it here. 08:34.346 --> 08:35.849 [SPEAKER_00]: I was looking forward to it. 08:35.869 --> 08:36.590 [SPEAKER_00]: Like this. 08:36.951 --> 08:40.657 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, they don't reveal that like, oh, here's the secret about how the team got together. 08:40.677 --> 08:42.079 [SPEAKER_00]: There's some stead. 08:42.540 --> 08:45.285 [SPEAKER_00]: I thought the last panel was the reveal. 08:45.265 --> 09:03.392 [SPEAKER_00]: there's a big reveal that happens in the last panel and this is just me saying like off the solicit I was definitely plugging it is like there's if I have ever correctly Excalibur number 50 is this thing where they're like surprise this is why the team got together in the first place right all the way back in issue number one. 09:03.372 --> 09:07.899 [SPEAKER_00]: which you didn't know redefining everything, I thought that's what we're going to get when may still get there. 09:08.360 --> 09:32.316 [SPEAKER_00]: We don't get it in this issue, but what we do get is like some great character set up just like nice character moments at the beginning half of the issue and then a total swirl of halfway through that I thought was so fascinatingly done and I was just like on the edge of I see wanting to know what's going on and that's a good place to be with an X-Men 09:32.414 --> 09:41.884 [SPEAKER_02]: I agree but I also think the last panel like got me really pumped for that and what's to come with that so 09:42.320 --> 09:46.245 [SPEAKER_02]: and they did a great job of giving us kind of individual moments with those people. 09:46.325 --> 09:47.747 [SPEAKER_02]: So very exciting. 09:47.767 --> 09:49.669 [SPEAKER_02]: I thought this was a really solid issue. 09:50.270 --> 09:50.951 [SPEAKER_02]: Great art. 09:51.291 --> 09:53.193 [SPEAKER_02]: Nightcrawl are making out in a zonderware. 09:53.353 --> 09:54.295 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, come on. 09:55.476 --> 09:59.461 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, I still, you know, like Wolverine and Beast hanging out. 09:59.541 --> 10:02.945 [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I'm still on trust Beast, but it's nice to see them. 10:03.005 --> 10:04.907 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe trying to get out of a better page. 10:04.988 --> 10:09.213 [SPEAKER_02]: So like, you know, there was some tea being like had in this issue. 10:09.233 --> 10:11.095 [SPEAKER_02]: And like, I was there for it. 10:11.227 --> 10:12.112 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 10:12.132 --> 10:12.696 [SPEAKER_00]: This is really good. 10:12.716 --> 10:15.955 [SPEAKER_00]: This is also maybe a good jumping on point just because 10:16.762 --> 10:21.269 [SPEAKER_00]: Resets and re-explains everybody in this title of the place that they're at. 10:21.409 --> 10:32.005 [SPEAKER_00]: It's coming off of by favorite arc for the title so far I've been seeing a lot of people jump in ship from the X-Men line like that's become a thing that I've seen They've been talking about in our comic book club discord. 10:32.366 --> 10:38.315 [SPEAKER_00]: We've certainly had our issues with some of the titles There's a lot that I like but like this is only getting stronger. 10:38.515 --> 10:39.436 [SPEAKER_00]: I think this title. 10:39.516 --> 10:42.962 [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, but I mean a lot of people upset about waffles. 10:43.082 --> 10:45.165 [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean waffles 10:45.365 --> 11:06.049 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you know, the robot doll waffles who only job was to carve the kids, I imagine like pancake fans were up in arms, not switching to food, although I have been known to do that, but I'm just saying that like waffles is one job and it's to carve the kids and it was like sleeping on the job and it's like, yo, you're a robot bro, like what do you do it? 11:06.089 --> 11:06.790 [SPEAKER_02]: Why are you sleeping? 11:07.050 --> 11:10.454 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like what do you think about sleep bro? 11:10.474 --> 11:13.718 [SPEAKER_02]: You're a robot watch dog and like come on man. 11:14.812 --> 11:15.593 [SPEAKER_02]: What are you doing, man? 11:15.934 --> 11:16.294 [SPEAKER_00]: Come on. 11:16.354 --> 11:17.677 [SPEAKER_00]: You're really blowing it, bro. 11:18.117 --> 11:18.538 [SPEAKER_00]: Waffles. 11:18.798 --> 11:19.219 [SPEAKER_00]: Come on. 11:20.200 --> 11:25.208 [SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely green lantern number 13 from DC Comics run by Alan Ewing, art by L.

26:03.430 --> 26:10.660 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I'll tell you what, and on the cover there was like Aquaman breaking the fourth wall and I was like, what is happening here? 26:10.881 --> 26:12.803 [SPEAKER_02]: This is not, well, this is not deadpool. 26:13.184 --> 26:15.026 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like, how do you do it?
