WEBVTT

00:08.703 --> 00:09.464
[SPEAKER_03]: What is up everybody?

00:09.484 --> 00:11.005
[SPEAKER_03]: Welcome to the stack on the Alex.

00:11.405 --> 00:17.910
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm Justin, what is up on Pete and on the stack we talk about a bunch of books that have come out this week and we review them.

00:17.990 --> 00:25.335
[SPEAKER_03]: So why don't we kick it off with this first book here, which is a little comic book called action comment.

00:25.395 --> 00:28.557
[SPEAKER_02]: We are men of action and we're getting right to the action.

00:28.817 --> 00:29.798
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no time.

00:30.078 --> 00:33.341
[SPEAKER_02]: We have to figure out what's going on with this super man.

00:33.941 --> 00:39.424
[SPEAKER_03]: Action Comics 1,100 from DC Comics, written by Mark Wade Joshua Williamson, Sophie Campbell and Dead.

00:39.484 --> 00:50.169
[SPEAKER_03]: Slot art by Skylar Patrick Ryan-Suck, Daniel Sam Perry, Dan Mora and Lucas Mire, the big headline here is this is the return of Superman after DC KO.

00:50.549 --> 00:51.430
[SPEAKER_03]: How did he get back?

00:51.550 --> 00:52.811
[SPEAKER_03]: What's been going on with him?

00:52.911 --> 00:54.271
[SPEAKER_03]: You'll find out next week.

00:54.471 --> 00:55.452
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a different comic.

00:56.032 --> 01:03.759
[SPEAKER_03]: But he goes back here as Superboy and a bunch of heroes try to find him lost in the time stream.

01:03.779 --> 01:11.765
[SPEAKER_03]: It also wraps up Mark Wade's run on the title and kicks us into a big Superman.

01:11.825 --> 01:13.847
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, run this particular part of the run.

01:13.867 --> 01:15.208
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he's still going past this.

01:15.929 --> 01:19.434
[SPEAKER_03]: And then it kicks us into the kingdom of Zod at crossover.

01:19.454 --> 01:26.564
[SPEAKER_03]: I was going to be happening throughout the Superman family of comic books throughout August and September if I remember correctly.

01:27.024 --> 01:28.026
[SPEAKER_03]: So let's talk about this.

01:28.066 --> 01:30.810
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you guys think about Superman being back?

01:30.850 --> 01:31.491
[SPEAKER_03]: Are you excited?

01:33.298 --> 01:51.571
[SPEAKER_01]: well i thought this was a great kind of collection of stories of fun celebration of the character and the kind of cool teaser last panel you know we should say spoilers for everything we're talking about in this but you know the kneel before zod was pretty badass and the cool way to end it i thought

01:52.632 --> 02:04.175
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, I mean, I'm nothing but honest on this show and in my life, um, and when I was open this and started reading, I was like, right, he's gone.

02:05.556 --> 02:06.656
[SPEAKER_02]: He's in gone for a while.

02:07.096 --> 02:07.396
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

02:08.016 --> 02:09.217
[SPEAKER_02]: And now he's back.

02:09.837 --> 02:11.957
[SPEAKER_02]: And, um, so that from outer space.

02:12.638 --> 02:12.918
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

02:13.478 --> 02:17.599
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, I have been really, really been enjoying the Superman books in his stead.

02:19.327 --> 02:24.889
[SPEAKER_02]: But, and I thought this was a nice story, the opening bit of it, I was like, this is very strange.

02:25.669 --> 02:39.273
[SPEAKER_02]: But I really liked the way it came around in classic Mark Wade fashion, it really dialed itself in and we got a sort of poignant story about Superman saving himself essentially.

02:39.293 --> 02:46.034
[SPEAKER_02]: And as far as the Zod stuff, that feels so dance-like.

02:48.669 --> 02:50.890
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I enjoyed this, generally speaking.

02:50.950 --> 02:59.131
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought this was a nice Jan Sash from all of these teams on the different books, but it still felt like one of fluid story, so they did a nice job together.

02:59.151 --> 03:03.032
[SPEAKER_03]: You got some great art throughout the book from absolutely everybody.

03:03.132 --> 03:06.273
[SPEAKER_03]: I do think Superbad's beard was weird.

03:06.333 --> 03:07.933
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I got it all up, right?

03:07.993 --> 03:13.214
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it was like poofy, it was a little spiky, usually picture him with sort of a slicker beard, I think.

03:13.655 --> 03:15.335
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's fresh, it's still fresh beard.

03:15.695 --> 03:19.857
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I guess it's like a time beard, like it got poofed out by the time stream or something like that.

03:19.897 --> 03:23.858
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, he might not have eaten and let the juice is really get into the beard, right?

03:23.878 --> 03:27.439
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like, you know, let the gravy's not in there yet.

03:27.579 --> 03:29.000
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you gotta get the gravy going.

03:29.400 --> 03:30.401
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, how does that work?

03:30.481 --> 03:32.821
[SPEAKER_03]: Your beard is mostly full of pomp rocks, Pete.

03:32.861 --> 03:35.322
[SPEAKER_03]: So once you get the gravy in, does that cover the pomp rocks?

03:35.362 --> 03:36.683
[SPEAKER_03]: Or do you get the flavor separately?

03:37.427 --> 03:42.296
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, separately, but you just got to be careful with all the pop and action you want to lose in the airs, you know.

03:42.556 --> 03:44.520
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how you get a little splotchy in places.

03:44.760 --> 03:46.884
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you get any sort of like Pepsi in there.

03:46.904 --> 03:49.208
[SPEAKER_02]: You could have a real explosive face problem.

03:51.615 --> 03:52.636
[SPEAKER_02]: Good experiment to run.

03:52.816 --> 04:04.022
[SPEAKER_03]: This is a fun time if you have tuned down from action comics or the superman books This does a good job of getting you prepped for everybody's status quo Leading into this next big event, so it's a good one to pick up.

04:04.082 --> 04:14.649
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to highlight if I could real quick the Sophie Campbell bit Which you know Sophie Campbell because a superboy prime calls it out as this is a Campbell era, which I thought was really funny

04:15.509 --> 04:19.231
[SPEAKER_02]: And the art, the Danlera art in this is great.

04:19.451 --> 04:22.232
[SPEAKER_02]: The Sophie Campbell bit of this is so fun.

04:22.912 --> 04:29.915
[SPEAKER_02]: And this combined with the Superend Book of Rental, about later in the stack, I've really been sold that Superboy Prime.

04:30.416 --> 04:30.816
[SPEAKER_02]: What?

04:30.936 --> 04:32.516
[SPEAKER_02]: I like this kind of time.

04:32.717 --> 04:33.597
[SPEAKER_02]: It's got a time.

04:35.561 --> 04:35.862
[SPEAKER_02]: J.T.

04:35.902 --> 04:38.304
[SPEAKER_02]: Prinds Ivan I don't know bring my great.

04:38.485 --> 04:51.079
[SPEAKER_03]: I also don't want him to go away I think it's a very fun edition and particularly when you line up all of these super bad and super boys I'm like this is the same like this is literally you're drawing the same character in different heights and that's pretty much it

04:51.639 --> 04:59.028
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's especially crazy that Connor, it's like, you know, don't take your jacket off because I want to really lose sight of who you are right here.

04:59.349 --> 05:00.971
[SPEAKER_02]: You better, I hope it's not hot.

05:01.471 --> 05:05.396
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we're in Metropolis today because you can't take that little jacket off.

05:07.075 --> 05:31.178
[SPEAKER_03]: uh... but anyway fun times let's talk about another big one shot x man uh... the hell fire burner number one from marvel written by solid and i'm mad galsamo and america shalt jet decay and evil uing art by joel jones luchiana vecchio aron kudir tonia staniol fedari commandson and uh... quarry smith this is the at now annual hellfire special even the word past croca

05:31.738 --> 05:33.479
[SPEAKER_03]: And we had the Hellfire Requiem.

05:33.720 --> 05:37.683
[SPEAKER_03]: If I recall last year, it was a Hellfire vigil, whatever it was.

05:38.603 --> 05:40.645
[SPEAKER_03]: That was like, well, it was the last time we're ever going to do it.

05:40.705 --> 05:41.766
[SPEAKER_03]: They're doing it again, baby.

05:41.966 --> 05:44.988
[SPEAKER_03]: And this time, somebody per the title is going to die.

05:45.048 --> 05:59.619
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a murder mystery at this masquerade ball head by Sebastian Shaw as Wolverine and Jubilee try to figure out who, again, spoiler warning here, killed Sebastian Shaw with an answer by the idea.

05:59.659 --> 06:00.320
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, just it.

06:00.560 --> 06:09.944
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, I highlighted this book as I was looking forward to thinking it was going to be like a temp check and sort of a let's see what the X-Men universe is right now.

06:10.844 --> 06:17.527
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was that technically, but I was like, yo, one time a year the X-Men come together and fuck.

06:18.527 --> 06:24.770
[SPEAKER_02]: This is like the hornyest any of the X-Men have been at the cost everyone is here.

06:25.090 --> 06:28.671
[SPEAKER_02]: The scene between silaq and Cyclops.

06:28.751 --> 06:30.632
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, what the fuck is this?

06:30.992 --> 06:31.112
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

06:31.172 --> 06:34.274
[SPEAKER_02]: I loved that was Interesting.

06:34.314 --> 06:35.354
[SPEAKER_02]: You loved it.

06:35.554 --> 06:36.714
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought it was great.

06:36.895 --> 06:41.817
[SPEAKER_02]: I like this stuff And the bro gambit stuff should be with you and gray.

06:41.837 --> 06:42.497
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't think that's

06:43.197 --> 06:45.438
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, now she's in what she here's the thing.

06:45.558 --> 06:46.499
[SPEAKER_01]: That was a trick.

06:46.579 --> 06:48.360
[SPEAKER_03]: That's not actually romantic.

06:48.420 --> 06:50.141
[SPEAKER_03]: They were like, do you want to do it?

06:50.281 --> 06:51.562
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, let's do it hard.

06:52.262 --> 06:53.062
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to do it.

06:53.082 --> 06:54.163
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to do it so hard.

06:54.203 --> 06:55.744
[SPEAKER_03]: That's right, murder.

06:55.844 --> 06:57.165
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to do a murder.

06:57.505 --> 07:00.166
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, let me say it, but both sides of that conversation were exciting.

07:00.466 --> 07:07.190
[SPEAKER_02]: And like I liked that they're just writing into that for the X-Men, where they're being like grownups and interesting.

07:07.770 --> 07:11.192
[SPEAKER_02]: But then I'm like, wait, they're going to publicly taking pleasure

07:13.213 --> 07:22.698
[SPEAKER_03]: That's just really off about this whole issue was the Cavalier take-out murder, which I get, I get some of them.

07:22.718 --> 07:23.398
[SPEAKER_03]: Very taboo.

07:23.558 --> 07:24.639
[SPEAKER_01]: I switched to handwear.

07:24.659 --> 07:26.340
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like, hey, what was that all about?

07:26.380 --> 07:30.242
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're just like, don't worry about a kid, somebody died.

07:30.262 --> 07:34.324
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, when I forget it, Jubilee, it's muting down or whatever.

07:34.744 --> 07:36.325
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, and I get what they're going for there.

07:36.365 --> 07:39.627
[SPEAKER_03]: That is kind of the noir thing, but the fact that they were like,

07:42.408 --> 07:42.749
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.

07:44.611 --> 07:48.595
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, he is a famous film famous, also he dies a lot.

07:48.955 --> 07:59.047
[SPEAKER_03]: I know he dies a lot, but like it was very strangely off-had about his murder, not really actually carry about it other than the repercussions too much.

07:59.487 --> 08:03.191
[SPEAKER_03]: And then the whole silox silox and cyclops thing being like,

08:04.152 --> 08:06.335
[SPEAKER_03]: Ooh, which of these 3K members should we kill?

08:06.575 --> 08:09.178
[SPEAKER_03]: Either one, we love murder.

08:09.458 --> 08:14.044
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I was also like, one of them is Joseph, a person who wasn't X-Man for years.

08:14.284 --> 08:14.384
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

08:14.404 --> 08:22.874
[SPEAKER_02]: They were friends with that person, but they're like, but I did remind me that like Cyclops was horribly brutalized in the future.

08:23.735 --> 08:43.311
[SPEAKER_02]: buy 3k and the virus and he's trying to stop the virus so I think he's a little broken by that and that matches with continuity which is cool but truly everyone else in this comic is like hey you want to go off and like maybe say we're gonna make out and like through the end all this very suggestive jubilee's even dropping that shit and Wolverine's like hey hey knock it off

08:44.117 --> 08:44.858
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to hear that.

08:45.338 --> 08:46.899
[SPEAKER_02]: The only one who's not Wolverine.

08:47.480 --> 08:51.783
[SPEAKER_02]: Why don't we get Wolverine to get a little sexy Wolverine out here?

08:51.843 --> 08:56.326
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, what's his what's his the beat of that hair spake Wolverine?

08:56.547 --> 09:00.770
[SPEAKER_01]: The hairy kind of outfit with the three claws was a little much.

09:01.070 --> 09:03.372
[SPEAKER_01]: This issue was a big note for me.

09:03.492 --> 09:04.913
[SPEAKER_01]: The cover out nope.

09:05.013 --> 09:07.095
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want anything to do with what's going on here.

09:07.775 --> 09:13.017
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, and yeah, I didn't find everybody being like, hey, there's a murder care.

09:13.597 --> 09:15.737
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, we don't, so stop caring.

09:15.938 --> 09:17.958
[SPEAKER_01]: And to the comic, what just happened?

09:18.478 --> 09:18.698
[SPEAKER_01]: What?

09:18.778 --> 09:20.639
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I like the story.

09:20.679 --> 09:21.239
[SPEAKER_02]: I like the review.

09:21.279 --> 09:27.421
[SPEAKER_01]: It was fun watching, you know, people making out, I guess, but like, I don't know, man, this, what was this?

09:28.247 --> 09:31.752
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you think Wolverine's healing factor is crushing his libido in general?

09:31.992 --> 09:32.673
[SPEAKER_02]: Is this what I like?

09:32.773 --> 09:34.154
[SPEAKER_03]: It's been years.

09:34.295 --> 09:35.416
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you think cordi this is?

09:35.476 --> 09:37.438
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just real quick, just describe it.

09:37.458 --> 09:39.000
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I'm saying.

09:39.040 --> 09:43.946
[SPEAKER_02]: Like a pain every character in this comic is out there live it.

09:44.647 --> 09:49.428
[SPEAKER_02]: Wolverines like, hey, hey, I smell something by, I'm like, what's up with that?

09:49.688 --> 09:53.009
[SPEAKER_03]: You, I mean, no, I, I, Wolverines, I understand what you're talking about.

09:53.049 --> 10:01.651
[SPEAKER_03]: What I want to get to the root of here, no pun intended, just it is why you think if his healing factor is the thing that could take way as hard it is.

10:01.691 --> 10:05.531
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, if you're feeling very healthy or you're not hoarding, I feel like it's the opposite.

10:06.191 --> 10:07.072
[UNKNOWN]: Hmm.

10:07.092 --> 10:07.872
[SPEAKER_02]: That feeling healthy.

10:07.912 --> 10:08.612
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm feeling horny.

10:08.792 --> 10:10.072
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, I'll think about it.

10:10.132 --> 10:11.012
[SPEAKER_03]: Great check of it's a death.

10:11.172 --> 10:13.353
[SPEAKER_03]: Whenever I, oh, yeah, don't get me started.

10:14.277 --> 10:16.220
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm not trying to say I'm not applying it to me.

10:16.240 --> 10:27.054
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to investigate to them, but maybe Adam Mantiam is crushing his his T's got a look at you think you have to add a magic of stint to going on or something Alex he's holding me on the dark

10:30.278 --> 10:33.759
[SPEAKER_03]: Will, will, will, will, will, will, will, but Alex who you haven't said.

10:33.779 --> 10:34.919
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you think of this?

10:34.979 --> 10:35.960
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought this was all right.

10:36.100 --> 10:44.042
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a little, this is unfair to the comic book, but it was a little hard for me to get past the fact that I think it's unnecessary for them to have a hellfire gala.

10:44.902 --> 10:51.424
[SPEAKER_03]: Past Gracoa, other than the fact that they probably sell as well, and they could use these costumes for Marvel rivals.

10:52.164 --> 10:55.167
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't get caught up in that hype this week.

10:55.187 --> 11:00.211
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what I'm saying is that is unfair to put on the comic book because I do think there was a lot of fun stuff in here.

11:00.231 --> 11:03.453
[SPEAKER_03]: I always love Aaron Cooter's art, so I was very happy to see that.

11:03.934 --> 11:06.056
[SPEAKER_03]: I did like the character interactions.

11:06.656 --> 11:17.245
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought they could have gotten to the murder much quicker because it's called the Hellfire Murder, and they do spend a good chunk of the issue being like, I guess we're out of this weird masquerade now, period.

11:17.745 --> 11:21.247
[SPEAKER_01]: Also I love tell even with mass on everybody kept going.

11:21.587 --> 11:23.187
[SPEAKER_01]: I know exactly who you are.

11:23.648 --> 11:45.737
[SPEAKER_03]: It's what that was serious I I will say that I was like guy this is looking at the lady that looks like rogue and keeps calling her share I don't know But I like it's like it's the world with the play cards for like I can tell by your calves I was like what it's funny you say that though because you look on this cover you look at on the right there You're like oh, I know that is no

11:47.097 --> 11:48.058
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't like it.

11:48.558 --> 11:49.959
[SPEAKER_02]: Who's that character from the star face?

11:50.379 --> 11:50.880
[SPEAKER_03]: Star-roll.

11:52.781 --> 11:54.382
[SPEAKER_03]: Jubilee because she makes fireworks.

11:54.843 --> 11:57.865
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but we know that because we read the comic, but do you look at that?

11:57.885 --> 11:58.986
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't know that.

11:59.286 --> 12:03.889
[SPEAKER_02]: This kind of goes so far out of the way to have them be like, hello Jubilee.

12:03.909 --> 12:05.531
[SPEAKER_02]: I will see you as a solo.

12:05.631 --> 12:08.533
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope that's not Wolverine because that's weird.

12:09.153 --> 12:10.034
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know.

12:10.214 --> 12:11.735
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean the fashion stuff is fine.

12:11.835 --> 12:13.337
[SPEAKER_03]: It's cool.

12:13.917 --> 12:14.958
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, what do we move on?

12:14.998 --> 12:16.019
[SPEAKER_03]: Talk about another big one.

12:16.099 --> 12:21.303
[SPEAKER_03]: Terminal number one from Skybound an image comics written by Robert Kirkman and Joe Casey art by Anne Cooper.

12:21.343 --> 12:26.828
[SPEAKER_03]: This is a big thing for Skybound at least they're pushing it as not only Robert Kirkman and Joe.

12:26.868 --> 12:30.510
[SPEAKER_03]: Casey, of course, it's Robert Kirkman's return to superhero comics.

12:30.830 --> 12:38.954
[SPEAKER_03]: You've also got David Finch, and I am forgetting the third artist that's rotating in on this title, but third other superstar artists that don't remember who they are.

12:39.735 --> 12:40.875
[SPEAKER_03]: But all of that stuff is going on.

12:40.895 --> 12:49.500
[SPEAKER_03]: They're also very far ahead on this, I think they have completed 12 issues by the time they are launching this comic book, so they are in it to win it for this one.

12:50.698 --> 12:52.099
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you guys think, Pete?

12:52.659 --> 12:54.459
[SPEAKER_01]: David Kig is the other artist.

12:54.479 --> 12:55.540
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's okay.

12:55.600 --> 12:57.561
[SPEAKER_01]: It's in quite Google in their nice work.

12:59.221 --> 13:00.842
[SPEAKER_01]: I was having a great time.

13:01.282 --> 13:03.363
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I got really upset by the ending.

13:03.423 --> 13:08.005
[SPEAKER_01]: And I said, fuck you, I don't want to keep reading this comic because you're going to...

13:08.745 --> 13:32.916
[SPEAKER_01]: do this whole set up of like all this girl she's special she's could be the one she's going to live here all these great things people know her this is going to be awesome and then oh she's murdered at the end and they were like oh I guess she didn't she was not cool after all what the fuck you just is murdering murdering murderers when i'm just heard of people and then just cool well third artist is actually art atoms is the third artist oh who's dating a cake

13:33.699 --> 13:34.100
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

13:34.701 --> 13:37.204
[SPEAKER_03]: He's the inventor of the Cag here.

13:38.907 --> 13:40.309
[SPEAKER_03]: What did you think about this one, Justin?

13:40.329 --> 13:42.432
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm curious.

13:42.653 --> 13:44.075
[SPEAKER_03]: You weren't upset by the ending?

13:44.095 --> 13:45.296
[SPEAKER_03]: You didn't think that was upset?

13:45.357 --> 13:46.118
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm asking.

13:46.138 --> 13:49.303
[SPEAKER_03]: We're sure getting our overall views and then we can talk about specifically.

13:49.928 --> 13:50.688
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I liked it.

13:50.708 --> 13:51.249
[SPEAKER_02]: I liked the end.

13:51.289 --> 13:51.989
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought it was cool.

13:52.049 --> 14:05.314
[SPEAKER_02]: And the fact I really liked the disgusting drawing of, well, the drawing of the person that just ruined by the giant eye guy, um, this feels like classic image comics storytelling.

14:05.414 --> 14:07.095
[SPEAKER_02]: And that was, that's refreshing.

14:07.455 --> 14:08.956
[SPEAKER_02]: I found it to be nice.

14:09.396 --> 14:12.097
[SPEAKER_02]: It does feel like you hear a lot when it's like,

14:12.857 --> 14:15.159
[SPEAKER_02]: blank writer returning to superhero comics.

14:15.659 --> 14:17.781
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's not, it's not quite that.

14:18.161 --> 14:37.575
[SPEAKER_02]: This is truly Robert Kirkman coming back to superhero comics, but he's part of a Joe Casey, a superhero comics writer who does weird shit and has big ideas and pushes them into his books in an aggressive way, which I think is a perfect balance for Kirkman who's good at set pieces and dialogue

14:40.617 --> 14:42.299
[SPEAKER_02]: great combination of voices.

14:42.839 --> 14:52.990
[SPEAKER_02]: The R is big and strong and very like old school Mark Silvestri image style R. Yeah, I agree with you.

14:53.030 --> 14:54.831
[SPEAKER_01]: It does have a good title being really

14:56.093 --> 15:00.277
[SPEAKER_01]: It early image field to it, but Jayce says, let me just ask you something.

15:00.317 --> 15:15.631
[SPEAKER_01]: So you think it's cool if we As fun this time being like hey, get to know this person aren't that unique and special and cool Oh, they're gonna get promoted into this very unique organization that we're kind of witnessing right now Isn't this gonna be fun aren't you excited for this out?

15:15.651 --> 15:17.713
[SPEAKER_01]: We're just gonna murder or she sucks anyway

15:17.993 --> 15:19.293
[SPEAKER_01]: What the fuck was that?

15:19.713 --> 15:23.034
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so what the fuck was that was to describe it?

15:23.054 --> 15:24.394
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, it was a twist.

15:24.914 --> 15:30.195
[SPEAKER_03]: I also think it was very clearly there to be like, whatever you think is going to happen in this comic is wrong.

15:30.515 --> 15:31.355
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what they're saying.

15:31.375 --> 15:32.776
[SPEAKER_03]: They're not saying this character sucks.

15:33.096 --> 15:34.896
[SPEAKER_03]: They're spending an hour and hour.

15:34.996 --> 15:38.997
[SPEAKER_03]: They're spending an issue, make you, maybe an hour, I don't know.

15:39.017 --> 15:40.077
[SPEAKER_02]: You really, really slow, really?

15:40.437 --> 15:41.377
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, savory.

15:41.397 --> 15:43.137
[SPEAKER_03]: You got savory, each pan, yeah.

15:43.237 --> 15:45.678
[SPEAKER_03]: I give my figure a little lick, that little lick thing,

15:48.070 --> 15:50.893
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's not what I was thinking you say.

15:51.293 --> 15:54.576
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know, listeners, please weigh in.

15:54.596 --> 16:01.062
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you want to hear about Alex, because Alex says this comic is finger-licking good.

16:01.703 --> 16:09.210
[SPEAKER_03]: It's God, died artists and spices and I, yeah, they're trying to shake up expectations here.

16:09.850 --> 16:11.011
[SPEAKER_03]: This did feel

16:11.872 --> 16:17.356
[SPEAKER_03]: in a more negative way than I think you guys are saying to be very early image comics.

16:17.376 --> 16:24.501
[SPEAKER_03]: The reason I say negative is I read that back in the 90s and 2000s and we're in 2026 now.

16:24.862 --> 16:34.809
[SPEAKER_03]: So I want to see something a little newer, a little fresher than a bunch of extremely beefy, X-Men and brotherhood of evil mutant statins with slightly different names battling each other.

16:35.169 --> 16:36.050
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't quite get

16:36.710 --> 16:50.118
[SPEAKER_03]: what the conflict is over or what either side wants and I know you're not supposed to I know that's it's been a mystery but that also to be feels very early image where it's like we're gonna string out this mystery for 12 issues and you don't what we don't know what the answer is.

16:50.358 --> 16:54.581
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh you don't like tradition like all the herbs and spices that Colonel Sanders fits into his words.

16:54.681 --> 16:55.481
[SPEAKER_03]: What are they?

16:55.582 --> 16:57.323
[SPEAKER_03]: Tell us what they are it's been years.

16:57.383 --> 16:57.783
[SPEAKER_03]: See you.

16:58.203 --> 16:58.503
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

16:58.523 --> 16:59.324
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you think, Colonel?

16:59.344 --> 17:05.546
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I guarantee that Alex that was going to like this comic if it gives it half of a chance.

17:05.666 --> 17:07.267
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh my god, I can't believe the curdle is here.

17:07.287 --> 17:07.907
[SPEAKER_03]: That's crazy.

17:08.487 --> 17:12.769
[SPEAKER_03]: I am certainly willing to stick with it because they paprika.

17:14.130 --> 17:15.250
[SPEAKER_02]: Period.

17:15.630 --> 17:16.491
[SPEAKER_02]: That's one.

17:16.911 --> 17:18.071
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

17:18.652 --> 17:23.734
[SPEAKER_01]: I just like don't make me care for somebody and then happen to be nothing.

17:24.354 --> 17:26.455
[SPEAKER_01]: And then expect me to show up again.

17:27.975 --> 17:29.758
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, there's other characters in this.

17:30.359 --> 17:30.600
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.

17:31.581 --> 17:35.388
[SPEAKER_03]: It's supposed to be a, you don't know what's going to happen in this world, anybody can die at any time.

17:35.428 --> 17:36.590
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what they're doing here.

17:37.231 --> 17:39.214
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't have to read the next one when we talk about it.

17:40.191 --> 17:42.132
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely, Wonder Woman number 22 from U.C.

17:42.152 --> 17:44.653
[SPEAKER_03]: Comics, we can't really give it out of that.

17:44.673 --> 17:47.975
[SPEAKER_03]: He's not going to, or it might Kelly Thompson art by Dylan Snook.

17:48.775 --> 18:01.602
[SPEAKER_03]: Wonder Woman is in hell and trying to rescue her mother, Cersei, who is now on the big screen of the movie The Odyssey, so that's pretty exciting for her, and they're going up against the Silla, who is a big monster who's also in The Odyssey, so this is like

18:02.427 --> 18:20.169
[SPEAKER_03]: crazy like a lot of great times kind of crazy really I know when we talked to Kelly Thompson about actually her mythological origin she did talk about that and loving Cersei her entire life so she definitely working in the mythology hardcore in this issue Pete I know you were psyched about this one why dad

18:21.090 --> 18:23.851
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, first off, cool cover gets you pumped for the insides.

18:24.771 --> 18:26.712
[SPEAKER_01]: Big sword, gets you pumped for the sword.

18:26.772 --> 18:27.472
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly.

18:27.512 --> 18:28.132
[SPEAKER_01]: A pump for that.

18:28.892 --> 18:33.214
[SPEAKER_01]: Hell of a start, one room we kind of jumping in the action here with this giant sword.

18:34.114 --> 18:47.358
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, you know, the smart move of, like, before a battle casting and spell, very cool, fun to see, I just thought this was such a fun issue, one of women kind of outsmarting the gods and then kind of pissing them off.

18:48.258 --> 18:52.040
[SPEAKER_01]: And then just such a nice moment to the end, a nice mother-daughter moment.

18:52.120 --> 18:52.921
[SPEAKER_01]: I really loved it.

18:53.341 --> 18:56.563
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought this was such a kind of amazing issue.

18:57.383 --> 18:59.664
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this team is fantastic on this.

18:59.684 --> 19:01.165
[SPEAKER_01]: They're absolutely wonderful.

19:01.205 --> 19:05.547
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's such a great kind of new field to Wonder Woman.

19:05.667 --> 19:07.928
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I've been loving every issue of it.

19:07.948 --> 19:09.469
[SPEAKER_01]: And I feel like they're doing such a great job.

19:09.809 --> 19:10.830
[SPEAKER_01]: More please, Mark.

19:12.081 --> 19:22.738
[SPEAKER_02]: Shasta Dylan Stokes arcs, I feel like this arc specifically feels very meniola-esque, Dylan Stokes arc is conjuring that in a really great way.

19:23.245 --> 19:33.777
[SPEAKER_02]: I think there's a nice, what if you're gonna change up your artist for a book like it's great that it feels specific and good, both matching, but pushing in this other different direction.

19:34.438 --> 19:41.686
[SPEAKER_02]: And I gotta shout out this, the last few issues of this have gotten me on board with Cheetah being a major Wonder Woman villain.

19:42.427 --> 19:59.655
[SPEAKER_02]: They've done a great job of just attaching meaning, mythology and a slow build up of what why Cheetah is a good villain for Wonder Woman because in the main kind of idiom, I was like, who is this in this little outfit that's fighting Wonder Woman?

19:59.695 --> 20:05.258
[SPEAKER_02]: It never has felt like a someone who can challenge like, hey, god killer.

20:06.238 --> 20:08.359
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think this book is doing a good job of setting that up.

20:09.246 --> 20:09.866
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, this is great.

20:09.966 --> 20:12.907
[SPEAKER_03]: Every issue of this is an absolute banger.

20:12.927 --> 20:18.409
[SPEAKER_03]: I love this deal in Snuckbook and Kelly Thompson knocks it out of the park every single time.

20:18.969 --> 20:19.549
[SPEAKER_03]: So there you go.

20:20.130 --> 20:26.072
[SPEAKER_03]: Odin number three for image comics written by Margaret Bennett and James town of the fourth art by Latisia Katanichi.

20:26.112 --> 20:31.313
[SPEAKER_03]: This is about a bunch of neo-Nazis who are wandering in the snowy wasteland trying to find a god.

20:31.714 --> 20:33.474
[SPEAKER_03]: They may or may not have found them.

20:33.814 --> 20:34.554
[SPEAKER_03]: Meanwhile, there is a

20:39.396 --> 20:46.162
[SPEAKER_03]: things get even more personal and misogynistic this issue, which I guess, and now are they neo nazis or would you say white supremacists?

20:47.965 --> 21:13.216
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to, like, try to show it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don't want to do it, we don

21:17.542 --> 21:23.748
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, white Norse supremacy male specifically like neo-Norses can we call it?

21:23.768 --> 21:24.308
[SPEAKER_03]: neo-Norses.

21:24.449 --> 21:27.672
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's such a cute way of saying.

21:28.392 --> 21:31.375
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I play it in a good way of Peter.

21:31.635 --> 21:32.676
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, no.

21:32.696 --> 21:36.320
[SPEAKER_02]: Do we only talk about vomiting on this show if he is like, right?

21:36.720 --> 21:37.641
[SPEAKER_02]: Nice to meet Streeg.

21:38.101 --> 21:38.562
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

21:39.262 --> 21:40.784
[SPEAKER_01]: Cool cover, amazing art.

21:40.844 --> 21:41.404
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the puke.

21:42.485 --> 21:48.968
[SPEAKER_01]: ah, just creepy kind of scary art, really impressive tone with the use of color.

21:49.989 --> 21:55.091
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like the kind of creepiness factor was such a perfect kind of tone for this comic.

21:55.411 --> 22:00.614
[SPEAKER_01]: This is not my thing, but called horror, I guess, is this popular, so good for that.

22:01.322 --> 22:07.647
[SPEAKER_02]: It is, and this is my thing, I like this, but I'm curious, Alex, what do you think is happening here?

22:07.687 --> 22:14.493
[SPEAKER_02]: Because we have like our main character who feels like he knows what's happening, and this may be vaguely godlike.

22:14.513 --> 22:17.515
[SPEAKER_02]: They're trying to, they're meant to be... And racist, right?

22:17.876 --> 22:20.898
[SPEAKER_02]: Very racist, yeah, very racist and misogynistic as discussed.

22:21.519 --> 22:27.904
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's like, these all these people are like suckers who are brought here to be sacrificed to contra God.

22:27.924 --> 22:28.885
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, then it seems like.

22:29.443 --> 22:34.179
[SPEAKER_02]: But what's the, I feel like we haven't been tips to what's actually happening here.

22:34.663 --> 22:43.345
[SPEAKER_03]: So here's my theory at the card time, and I do really like this book, Latizia Katanichi's heart is so really good to hear the writing is great as well.

22:43.425 --> 22:53.686
[SPEAKER_03]: I just want to mention Margarit that it is great as well, not even to add it as well, but I've seen a lot of people call this a James Titan the book, and I don't think that's fair.

22:54.106 --> 22:58.367
[SPEAKER_03]: Her name is first here, and she writes great stuff like this all the time.

22:58.487 --> 23:02.688
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, I don't know, I just wanted to shut that out because I saw that online and it was

23:04.010 --> 23:12.293
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, especially when you finish reading this book, which is about men dominating women, you're like, yeah, let's slow down on this, given credit.

23:13.974 --> 23:21.457
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's my theory right now, after this issue, there's a very specific scene that happens here, where they ask the guy with the red glasses, wait, are you Odin and he starts laughing?

23:21.477 --> 23:23.478
[SPEAKER_03]: He's like, no, I'm not Odin, what are you talking about?

23:23.498 --> 23:24.058
[SPEAKER_03]: That's crazy.

23:24.778 --> 23:26.239
[SPEAKER_03]: He's Loki, right?

23:26.379 --> 23:28.780
[SPEAKER_03]: Like he is the Trickster God in trying to

23:29.780 --> 23:34.563
[SPEAKER_03]: Give tribute to his father Odin by sacrifice of these new Nazis one and one.

23:34.603 --> 23:39.866
[SPEAKER_03]: I assume we will end up with her journalist and he'll be say something to her like Did you get the story you wanted?

23:39.886 --> 23:41.867
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's that.

23:42.547 --> 23:43.028
[SPEAKER_02]: Interesting.

23:43.668 --> 23:45.269
[SPEAKER_02]: I would throw the he's Thor.

23:45.289 --> 23:49.211
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I see him like I'm sorry

23:51.077 --> 24:05.378
[SPEAKER_02]: just because he's he's more of a he feels like more of a warrior than a trickster and famously Odin is not really like there's a broken parentage there so

24:06.019 --> 24:06.299
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

24:06.920 --> 24:12.384
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I will say that the original Norse mythology is pretty messed up.

24:12.544 --> 24:32.801
[SPEAKER_03]: If you go back and read it like even Warsaw, then Greek mythology where Loki in particular is a trickster in the mode of he's not like, 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 ha ha ha ha

24:33.745 --> 24:36.726
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that used to be what pranks were like, right.

24:36.746 --> 24:39.387
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's like the level of that U.P.

24:39.427 --> 24:42.528
[SPEAKER_03]: pranks that Loki is doing back in North Missology where you read it.

24:42.548 --> 24:45.109
[SPEAKER_03]: You're like, hold on, I guess.

24:45.169 --> 24:49.090
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a question's about the humor, uh, contingent of what's going on here.

24:49.490 --> 24:55.572
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's why I would say Loki just because it matches up with that very old view of Loki of like, isn't this funny?

24:56.073 --> 24:57.493
[SPEAKER_03]: I skinned this man alive.

24:58.413 --> 24:59.374
[SPEAKER_02]: It's called Odin.

24:59.474 --> 25:00.054
[SPEAKER_02]: It's Odin.

25:01.078 --> 25:02.179
[SPEAKER_02]: Interesting, strong take.

25:02.259 --> 25:21.134
[SPEAKER_02]: I just am guys remember when you get up in the morning good luck finding your socks Be thinks the socks nook has struck again Finds what I'm not sure jackass is the jackass This is the worst version of

25:22.435 --> 25:25.136
[SPEAKER_03]: They got this like a British baking show of jackass.

25:25.336 --> 25:26.936
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the Tom Green Show.

25:26.956 --> 25:27.897
[SPEAKER_03]: What am I?

25:27.937 --> 25:31.298
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I've eaten your socks and put them in your mailbox.

25:31.398 --> 25:33.498
[SPEAKER_02]: So you can still wear them and put them on.

25:34.219 --> 25:36.920
[SPEAKER_02]: But take you more than a minute to get there.

25:36.940 --> 25:37.720
[SPEAKER_03]: Keep to get cold.

25:38.680 --> 25:39.601
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely, Superman!

25:39.621 --> 25:52.026
[SPEAKER_03]: Number 21 from DC Comics by Jason Aran, Art by Rafa, Sandevol, this is the final issue of the reign of Superman Ark that finds Superman fighting Shazam, who is actually Black Adam or at least town.

25:52.086 --> 26:06.112
[SPEAKER_03]: We know him with steel and Hawkman, as well as Lois Lade and Talia, Al-Gul, and Jimmy Olson, all caught in the middle of this battle, gets even bigger in this issue with the interesting tease for the future.

26:07.823 --> 26:12.966
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I thought this was a really awesome boss battle felt like a real legit huge.

26:13.286 --> 26:13.666
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

26:13.986 --> 26:21.751
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and it was kind of a fun mixle plaque moment where we kind of tricked him to say his name and then he got caught.

26:22.011 --> 26:23.512
[SPEAKER_01]: So I thought that was kind of a fun.

26:23.532 --> 26:25.813
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, also there's these like,

26:26.881 --> 26:45.678
[SPEAKER_01]: things I'm noticing now with splash pages where they kind of like will take a fight sequence, put it on like a two-page splash, and then make the panel smaller, and it's like cool, but it just takes a little bit away from the two-mean panels on the two-page splash, floating around it.

26:46.530 --> 26:52.674
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like the way it was kind of like this fight sequence was kind of spurt out, but then made spoiler to fit on the two pages.

26:52.714 --> 27:01.780
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was like, instead of it being like, you know, we saw that big splash of the earth where there was that punch thrown and you saw it on the other side of the planet.

27:01.820 --> 27:02.660
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it wasn't earth.

27:02.680 --> 27:03.241
[SPEAKER_01]: There was the money.

27:03.581 --> 27:06.603
[SPEAKER_01]: So like just, I'll plan it as well.

27:06.623 --> 27:09.765
[SPEAKER_01]: I should say, but like the impact of that was that a planet.

27:10.325 --> 27:11.866
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want you to make him a steak.

27:11.906 --> 27:13.047
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks, I appreciate that.

27:13.227 --> 27:15.089
[SPEAKER_02]: But my point being, like, when it's ended by Mars, Pete.

27:26.135 --> 27:27.596
[SPEAKER_01]: It feels like there's a planet.

27:28.116 --> 27:31.959
[SPEAKER_01]: It feels epic when you're kind of like showing something big.

27:32.439 --> 27:40.585
[SPEAKER_01]: But when it's kind of broken down into smaller things and the kind of bigger splash page, it kind of takes away the O-Shit factor.

27:43.267 --> 27:44.268
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought this was great.

27:44.408 --> 27:47.050
[SPEAKER_02]: I love how like Pete said it boss battle.

27:47.130 --> 27:50.392
[SPEAKER_02]: This is that I feel like and it's said in the issue.

27:50.432 --> 27:54.255
[SPEAKER_02]: Superman was about to lose to a death atom here.

27:55.228 --> 28:10.565
[SPEAKER_02]: and only because he made a bit of a mistake by saying his name, big Achilles heel, does he then lose and we push the twist at the end, I thought was a great landing place for where this is going to go.

28:10.965 --> 28:14.449
[SPEAKER_02]: I like the Shusei Am is sort of the number one super villain.

28:15.790 --> 28:29.215
[SPEAKER_02]: for Superman, at least after this arc, and this book continues to be sort of the absolute book that I think is getting some of the lower level of attention, but I think it is a top level of the book.

28:29.958 --> 28:30.839
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

28:30.879 --> 28:31.419
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's great.

28:31.439 --> 28:32.480
[SPEAKER_03]: The arts great in here.

28:32.560 --> 28:34.322
[SPEAKER_03]: I do think some of the fights were a little messy.

28:34.362 --> 28:39.246
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes I don't know if that's what you're getting at Pete, but generally they did feel big.

28:39.406 --> 28:40.828
[SPEAKER_03]: I love that trick at the end.

28:41.228 --> 28:53.779
[SPEAKER_03]: And I thought it was a really interesting sad place that it ends up with with Lois and Jimmy because at least I was talking about how Jason Aaron has been slowly walking us towards their destinies.

28:54.580 --> 28:55.882
[SPEAKER_03]: and they back away from that here.

28:55.922 --> 29:01.108
[SPEAKER_03]: They go in a different direction, which I thought was kind of fascinating, so very curious to see where he goes next.

29:02.049 --> 29:02.610
[SPEAKER_02]: It's cool though.

29:02.670 --> 29:04.392
[SPEAKER_02]: I like that it's everyone's put up.

29:04.412 --> 29:09.438
[SPEAKER_02]: This felt like a very much a last issue of a series almost the way everyone goes.

29:10.495 --> 29:16.737
[SPEAKER_03]: They mean his expider man number 33 from Marvel went by Joe Kelly art by Ed McGinnis last two issues.

29:16.857 --> 29:39.903
[SPEAKER_03]: We found out that at May has a older son who knows that Peter Parker spiderman and that's something he's continuing to deal with in this issue while also wrestling with a new damage control that has a new mission to take down supervillains in a proactive way before they can cause the damage while trying not to interrupt spiderman too much and be very friendly

29:40.987 --> 29:43.110
[SPEAKER_02]: So we're trying to control the damage.

29:43.330 --> 29:43.951
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.

29:44.491 --> 29:49.357
[SPEAKER_03]: And so there's a bunch of different things that are going on there that he's juggling as usual.

29:49.518 --> 29:54.043
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, Joe Kelly tries to do narration technique in this issue that I thought was very interesting.

29:54.604 --> 29:58.649
[SPEAKER_03]: Generally, I think we're really liking Spider-Man and does that continue with this issue.

29:59.537 --> 30:01.619
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I thought the cover was very cool.

30:02.459 --> 30:05.702
[SPEAKER_01]: The damage control guy just trying to enjoy a hot dog was fun.

30:06.883 --> 30:10.887
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we're not getting any kind of peed dating stuff which gives me help.

30:11.187 --> 30:13.989
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, then you're kind of plastic past the hot dogs for a second.

30:14.169 --> 30:19.994
[SPEAKER_03]: What did you think of that hot dog carrier case that had four hot dogs vertically in it?

30:20.214 --> 30:21.315
[SPEAKER_01]: Because that was weird to me.

30:21.836 --> 30:23.637
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think it's a smart way to carry it.

30:23.697 --> 30:26.680
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you can't put toppings on and carry it like that, but you know,

30:27.160 --> 30:29.381
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that we're toppings on that hot dog.

30:29.401 --> 30:30.862
[SPEAKER_03]: You can't really didn't slide off.

30:31.002 --> 30:32.403
[SPEAKER_03]: That's, it's possible.

30:32.463 --> 30:33.964
[SPEAKER_01]: What are you kind of?

30:33.984 --> 30:34.704
[SPEAKER_02]: Just a quick question.

30:35.044 --> 30:37.306
[SPEAKER_02]: What scenario are you caring for hot dogs?

30:39.107 --> 30:40.387
[SPEAKER_02]: Where are you going or come?

30:40.407 --> 30:42.508
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you're meeting up with three other friends.

30:42.528 --> 30:43.489
[SPEAKER_01]: This is what you're doing.

30:44.561 --> 30:45.722
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just on the street.

30:46.142 --> 30:47.222
[SPEAKER_02]: I've written the dogs.

30:47.363 --> 30:48.583
[SPEAKER_02]: You're cooking at the heart.

30:48.623 --> 30:49.484
[SPEAKER_01]: Bring the dogs.

30:49.744 --> 30:50.084
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

30:50.964 --> 30:53.105
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm bringing the dogs.

30:53.266 --> 30:54.866
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I hear what you're saying, Justin.

30:54.906 --> 30:56.967
[SPEAKER_03]: Have you ever bought hot dogs for anybody else?

30:57.108 --> 30:59.509
[SPEAKER_03]: Because I feel like hot dogs are just a personal meal.

31:00.158 --> 31:09.340
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, yeah, except I'm saying like I've purchased two to three hot dogs, but I'm not like showing up with my boys and being like who can I dog my dog?

31:09.440 --> 31:12.441
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like that scene in Daredevil board again, where what's his name?

31:13.301 --> 31:15.422
[SPEAKER_03]: Michael Gandalfidi is Mike.

31:15.622 --> 31:16.782
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not Michael Gandalfidi.

31:17.202 --> 31:18.102
[SPEAKER_03]: It is Michael Gandalfidi.

31:18.122 --> 31:20.403
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's his human name.

31:20.443 --> 31:21.883
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, he's human name.

31:21.943 --> 31:26.524
[SPEAKER_03]: Where he's like you're tried this hot dog and the other characters like good hot dog here.

31:26.564 --> 31:28.185
[SPEAKER_03]: You go here's the rest of it crazy.

31:30.105 --> 31:30.465
[SPEAKER_02]: not done.

31:30.765 --> 31:31.166
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not.

31:31.786 --> 31:35.288
[SPEAKER_02]: But I don't know how to do that really a meal is more of a snack.

31:35.669 --> 31:43.113
[SPEAKER_03]: Frank, I guess the point is that like whatever amount of hot dogs you have, those are your hot dogs.

31:43.614 --> 31:46.996
[SPEAKER_02]: You can get a double dog share.

31:47.056 --> 31:51.158
[SPEAKER_03]: If you offered me, if you had a bunch of hot dogs and you offered me one, I would walk away for you.

31:51.498 --> 31:52.319
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, really.

31:52.479 --> 31:53.260
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to get involved.

31:53.340 --> 31:56.782
[SPEAKER_01]: I show up at your house with a tray full of dogs and you're like, get out of here.

31:58.792 --> 31:59.873
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, that's kind of different.

31:59.953 --> 32:06.358
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess, like, I guess, I mean, I had a question, like, where are they coming from?

32:06.418 --> 32:07.018
[SPEAKER_03]: Where are your characters?

32:07.038 --> 32:09.920
[SPEAKER_03]: That was clear that I just, that's really a box of dogs.

32:09.980 --> 32:11.001
[SPEAKER_03]: And they're vertical dogs.

32:11.021 --> 32:11.681
[SPEAKER_03]: This is what I'm saying.

32:11.701 --> 32:14.303
[SPEAKER_03]: We're showing it off on the YouTube for anybody listening on the audio.

32:14.644 --> 32:17.185
[SPEAKER_02]: And it says for dogs, like, this is a product.

32:17.426 --> 32:18.186
[SPEAKER_02]: This is an idea.

32:18.206 --> 32:19.287
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

32:20.070 --> 32:22.811
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that's too many for a solo meal for dogs.

32:23.051 --> 32:23.231
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

32:23.271 --> 32:25.172
[SPEAKER_03]: So I understand why he offers it to you.

32:25.232 --> 32:28.533
[SPEAKER_03]: Spider-Man and I appreciate Spider-Man being like, No, I have a dog guy.

32:28.593 --> 32:29.473
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd be cheating on him.

32:30.394 --> 32:30.574
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

32:31.414 --> 32:32.655
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you got a dog guy.

32:33.975 --> 32:34.755
[SPEAKER_02]: What do we think?

32:34.996 --> 32:37.737
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, this is... No, I think this is it.

32:37.777 --> 32:40.077
[SPEAKER_02]: This is an important idea that we're talking about.

32:40.678 --> 32:42.918
[SPEAKER_02]: What do we think about our guy, Kormack?

32:43.899 --> 32:46.220
[SPEAKER_02]: The young...

32:46.260 --> 32:46.960
[SPEAKER_02]: The new son.

32:48.888 --> 33:04.967
[SPEAKER_03]: what's that I last issue I felt like he's going to turn out to be an evil supervillain this issue works over time to say he's not going to be that and just trying to make a men's it is weird I didn't realize up to this point that he's rich so yeah that's interesting

33:06.035 --> 33:06.495
[SPEAKER_03]: It is.

33:07.155 --> 33:11.417
[SPEAKER_03]: I could see him going the route of, oh, I'm rich.

33:12.217 --> 33:23.102
[SPEAKER_03]: I can build something to help me help Peter Parker, so that he likes me more, so that he had me, likes me more, something like that, and that it goes wrong in drives of crazy.

33:23.722 --> 33:24.482
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

33:24.522 --> 33:25.743
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

33:25.783 --> 33:31.505
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to think about, I feel like Joe Kelly's looking at it through the lens of like, how is this going to make Peter Parker's life worse?

33:32.558 --> 33:38.925
[SPEAKER_02]: and the what we always are doing with Spider-Man is making him his life slightly worse and he's still joyfully fighting crime through it.

33:39.246 --> 33:40.948
[SPEAKER_02]: And we see it here where M.A.

33:40.968 --> 33:44.752
[SPEAKER_02]: is calling him son and Peter's like literally, I was crying.

33:44.792 --> 33:45.613
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's easy.

33:46.574 --> 33:49.638
[SPEAKER_02]: But I do think he has to become some sort of villain.

33:50.542 --> 33:54.663
[SPEAKER_02]: right or has to have something bad, tragic happened to him here, then feels guilty about.

33:55.263 --> 34:10.868
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, but like I say with the last issue, even though I suspect that's the route they're going, I hope they don't, because you saw we each, we all had a visceral reaction to add may colleague him son, and that is so much worse than it'd be like,

34:11.508 --> 34:14.869
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna throw pumpkin pops in you, Spider-Man.

34:15.389 --> 34:17.390
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, that's something we've seen a billion times.

34:17.410 --> 34:22.712
[SPEAKER_03]: We haven't seen this, and this is affecting Peter Parker, and that's dramatically much more interesting to me.

34:22.732 --> 34:24.072
[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm.

34:24.092 --> 34:25.052
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I agree with you.

34:26.213 --> 34:28.673
[SPEAKER_02]: Peter feels especially stuck right now.

34:29.454 --> 34:35.275
[SPEAKER_02]: And I want him to, I want something active, whether I have a relationship, like what's up with you?

34:35.295 --> 34:35.475
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

34:35.676 --> 34:36.876
[SPEAKER_02]: Give Shake All.

34:38.666 --> 34:42.387
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, give shade call and be like, what's your last name?

34:44.268 --> 34:52.990
[SPEAKER_03]: I do like one thing that Joe Kelly is doing really nicely, which Chris Clarebott always gets credit for is juggling a billion story lines.

34:53.050 --> 34:57.172
[SPEAKER_03]: It just keep him rolling, but that also is a very spider band thing.

34:57.212 --> 34:57.632
[SPEAKER_03]: And here.

34:58.692 --> 35:20.110
[SPEAKER_03]: him checking it on his old boss figuring out the spore matrix thing that he had been working on that Ben Riley kind of screwed up a little bit and fixing it and also the kid who has cancer who is captain, I never doubt it, but I was just, I'm sorry, Cynugi or the the thing that's joining things together with gold.

35:21.878 --> 35:23.000
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what you're talking about.

35:23.540 --> 35:27.726
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, there's the guy who is the captain, whatever, it doesn't matter.

35:28.146 --> 35:34.574
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, there's a couple of storylines that are running in the background that he checks in here, and he's like, I got a bunch of people I got to make it up to.

35:34.715 --> 35:36.517
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just gonna do this one in this issue.

35:36.537 --> 35:37.638
[SPEAKER_03]: That's nice.

35:37.779 --> 35:40.122
[SPEAKER_03]: That's nice that that happens in the middle of everything else.

35:40.933 --> 35:41.493
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I agree.

35:41.533 --> 35:42.013
[SPEAKER_02]: I like that.

35:42.834 --> 35:52.696
[SPEAKER_02]: I do want him to have some other positive thing he's chasing and not just everything being retroactively trying to make good on some very dressed up.

35:53.216 --> 35:57.317
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, a new girlfriend is that we're thinking some sort of new girlfriend.

35:57.377 --> 35:58.958
[SPEAKER_03]: I do like the alien girlfriend.

35:59.178 --> 36:01.138
[SPEAKER_02]: She's me too, but I want to see that.

36:01.158 --> 36:05.939
[SPEAKER_02]: I want that to be a story point rather than something that is occasionally checked up.

36:06.220 --> 36:07.540
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree with both of you, Mary Jane.

36:08.849 --> 36:26.805
[SPEAKER_03]: Dungeons and Dragons total party killers number one from dark course comics written by Christopher Hastings art by Dennis Medry this unfolds over the course of the book, but it is about a bunch of monsters in a dungeon who formed their own D&D party to try and break out of the dungeon.

36:27.996 --> 36:32.441
[SPEAKER_03]: That was really looking forward to this once I heard the concept because I thought it was such a fun idea.

36:32.561 --> 36:34.123
[SPEAKER_03]: And it does not disappoint.

36:34.323 --> 36:35.725
[SPEAKER_03]: It is a blast.

36:36.306 --> 36:39.690
[SPEAKER_03]: There is some great classic Chris Raysdings humor throughout this.

36:39.730 --> 36:41.452
[SPEAKER_03]: The characters are a lot of fun.

36:41.992 --> 36:45.096
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm really looking forward to following this going forward.

36:45.816 --> 36:59.341
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a great kind of adventure set up and I feel like, you know, they did a good job of giving us just enough information, you know, and also that flying eyed beast is a nice shout out to the baby holder.

36:59.501 --> 37:00.021
[SPEAKER_01]: Very cute.

37:00.361 --> 37:02.602
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a, you know, big trouble in low China.

37:03.342 --> 37:05.404
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope, that is a bholter, but sure.

37:06.004 --> 37:08.526
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think it's an homage to that.

37:09.227 --> 37:16.773
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, what I mean, I think what Alex is referencing and maybe Pete, you're not, I don't know how much D&D you guys are playing.

37:18.172 --> 37:35.437
[SPEAKER_02]: But I feel like this is steeped in real D&D play and I feel like that's a well done I think Christopher Hastings is in that world and is able to tell a story that is Pay is has the bona fides behind it to really feel real

37:36.314 --> 37:50.887
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't been doing a ton of D&D in my life, but I've been doing a podcast from Mission to Six called The Young Old Derv Chronicles, and part of what we're doing in between episodes is doing a full-on D&D podcast, and that's been fun.

37:50.967 --> 37:56.952
[SPEAKER_02]: I could feel, I don't know what I'm doing, but other people do, and it's nice to read professionals.

37:57.433 --> 37:57.633
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

37:58.763 --> 38:12.739
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the character's really great in here, Pete Chetot, the baby-beholder, also a gelatinous cube that's also a spellcaster, is a lot of fun, and yeah, it's just a good time with some great cute art as well, great series.

38:13.460 --> 38:24.550
[SPEAKER_03]: Dritt the Halleach, 2026 from CISG and image comics written by Jordan Hart and Chris Rial, art by Luano Vecchio, Charles P. Wilson III, Marietta Ignasi, and Tom Williams.

38:25.030 --> 38:31.777
[SPEAKER_03]: This is an anthology about San Diego Comic Con, they released one last year that was a ton of fun.

38:32.477 --> 38:44.455
[SPEAKER_03]: This one is a little more a razor-focused on exclusives and exclusive culture and also goes into other directions, but it has several links stories that sort of overlap each other.

38:44.475 --> 38:46.057
[SPEAKER_03]: But do you guys think about this collection?

38:46.948 --> 38:47.408
[SPEAKER_01]: It's great.

38:47.508 --> 38:48.529
[SPEAKER_01]: This is really fun.

38:49.029 --> 38:51.831
[SPEAKER_01]: The art is just wild in all the right ways.

38:52.391 --> 38:56.173
[SPEAKER_01]: Just really impressive swings that they're taking fun inside jokes.

38:57.253 --> 38:59.975
[SPEAKER_01]: The feel and tone of this is just really great.

39:00.255 --> 39:12.121
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, I really felt like my younger self, you know, saw a lot of great kind of art that felt like art from the 90s and 80s in all the right ways.

39:12.201 --> 39:13.502
[SPEAKER_01]: So really impressive collection.

39:14.837 --> 39:41.595
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... i really like the concluder uh... and and that was fun yeah and it's the first story and threaded through the um... fresh shredder runner throughout it is like the uh... the marvel pie uh... through pie and and the back of the day uh... and i was really uh... surprised and i thought they did a great job of linking the stories they felt very standalone and then linked together really cleanly

39:42.118 --> 39:54.369
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it was nice, it was subtly done through some of them, like there's one thing where this little exclusive is running around killing people on the con floor and passes by these two people, they show up at a later story.

39:54.849 --> 39:56.370
[SPEAKER_03]: And that was delightful.

39:56.651 --> 40:06.980
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, all in all, great art throughout this book, if you're looking for a fun thing to read while you're waiting online and it's exclusive to Pick The Bob at Saidio Comic-Con.

40:07.100 --> 40:08.381
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the perfect thing.

40:09.543 --> 40:21.734
[SPEAKER_03]: Swamp Thing, 1989, number four from DC Comics, written by Rick Vich, art by Tom Mandrake, after nearly 40 years, Rick Vich's run on Swamp Thing is finally done with this issue.

40:21.974 --> 40:28.040
[SPEAKER_03]: It all comes down to, of course, arcane versus Swamp Thing, but with a new riff here.

40:28.820 --> 40:32.644
[SPEAKER_03]: And a fun solution for figuring out how to get out of this run.

40:33.244 --> 40:41.488
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, setting up the next run of swap thing that has existed for many decades at this point, which I thought was really neat.

40:42.109 --> 40:49.533
[SPEAKER_03]: I am, I feel like I've said these exact words before, but I'm just so glad this exists and they got this out here.

40:49.753 --> 40:55.696
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a fantastic package full of old school ads and a femuroth route.

40:56.136 --> 41:01.479
[SPEAKER_03]: But overall, this was also just a really good story about Swamp Thing and Abigail Larkine.

41:01.919 --> 41:03.500
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd love to have a tie it up at the end.

41:03.740 --> 41:04.741
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought this was just great.

41:05.581 --> 41:06.302
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I agree.

41:06.342 --> 41:08.783
[SPEAKER_01]: This is cool cover, fun.

41:09.344 --> 41:17.088
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we get like kind of letters page and back matter and everything you were just kind of talking about really good to add so I really, yeah.

41:17.429 --> 41:23.652
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the editor and brief was a fun bit too on the letters page.

41:23.692 --> 41:25.874
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, this is just great ending.

41:26.634 --> 41:30.777
[SPEAKER_01]: The amazing kind of trip dot art that really does a great job of paying homage to.

41:31.197 --> 41:36.481
[SPEAKER_01]: kind of where it started, John Constantine saved the day, made me very happy, just amazing.

41:36.501 --> 41:39.302
[SPEAKER_01]: I also love the black and white swamping drawing at the end.

41:39.843 --> 41:45.146
[SPEAKER_01]: This was just a hell of a package and really well done in great hands.

41:45.506 --> 41:46.187
[SPEAKER_01]: Super impressive.

41:47.342 --> 41:56.129
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, I wish we could just continue from here now forward and do more stories like this because it's great.

41:56.389 --> 41:58.110
[SPEAKER_02]: We get some classic Fertigo stuff.

41:58.170 --> 42:05.216
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got a contenting, shoving hand into arcades, eyes with a middle finger,

42:05.869 --> 42:08.892
[SPEAKER_02]: sending it back to New York all the the big bad.

42:09.072 --> 42:10.053
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought it was really cool.

42:11.934 --> 42:18.920
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels like this type of storytelling we just don't have anymore of blending different parts of the DC universe but still under the vertigo tent.

42:19.680 --> 42:20.861
[SPEAKER_02]: And I really liked where it ended.

42:20.881 --> 42:21.642
[SPEAKER_02]: It was very sweet.

42:22.383 --> 42:24.244
[SPEAKER_02]: The last panel is very funny.

42:24.384 --> 42:30.289
[SPEAKER_02]: It's Abigail just like celebrating in the swamp while swamping has their son named

42:31.650 --> 42:32.331
[SPEAKER_02]: Jesus Christ.

42:32.431 --> 42:33.472
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that was yes.

42:33.532 --> 42:35.575
[SPEAKER_03]: You said he was inspired by a guy.

42:35.595 --> 42:37.136
[SPEAKER_03]: He met in the past.

42:38.458 --> 42:39.058
[SPEAKER_02]: Really subtle.

42:39.459 --> 42:41.401
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's crazy to be like I was inspired.

42:41.541 --> 42:43.864
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, this is my son Jesus Christ.

42:45.154 --> 42:46.535
[SPEAKER_02]: I just Jesus Christ thing.

42:46.835 --> 42:53.840
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you think I'd be at least part of that because we talk to work by each other and he wrote this stuff after room?

42:54.180 --> 42:57.322
[SPEAKER_03]: The whole flap about him drawing something as a cross.

42:57.762 --> 43:00.024
[SPEAKER_03]: That has to be a little bit of him thumbing his nose.

43:00.524 --> 43:03.706
[SPEAKER_02]: I think definitely that just enough to say so.

43:04.067 --> 43:05.628
[SPEAKER_02]: But it is funny the last panel.

43:06.048 --> 43:09.190
[SPEAKER_02]: Abigail celebrating happy kid and swamp things look air like.

43:09.823 --> 43:13.148
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god, I got a parent this time.

43:13.309 --> 43:14.971
[SPEAKER_02]: He looks very unsettled.

43:15.272 --> 43:18.377
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, oh, you saw yourself in Swamp Thing as well.

43:18.597 --> 43:19.739
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I do all the time.

43:23.475 --> 43:25.057
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, that's a great place to wrap up.

43:25.117 --> 43:29.561
[SPEAKER_03]: Star Trek Red Shirts Ghost of the 21st century number one from I.D.W.

43:29.581 --> 43:33.164
[SPEAKER_03]: Written by Jerry Duggen, art by Scott Abwon, Chris Gianno.

43:33.904 --> 43:40.930
[SPEAKER_03]: This is a sequel series for the first Red Shirts series that focuses on the Dube to two die engines in the Star Trek universe.

43:40.950 --> 43:43.893
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a new story, though, with some new deaths at a new mystery.

43:44.593 --> 43:49.658
[SPEAKER_03]: We talked to Jerry about this when he was on the show a couple of months back, but what did you guys think about this one?

43:50.661 --> 44:08.037
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is really fun, you know, love the tone of it, the art is kind of light and fun, a lot of cool colors, you know, strong start with the killing the Spocktop character, green blood everywhere, super gross.

44:08.757 --> 44:12.000
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, but I felt like the tone of this was fun.

44:12.881 --> 44:17.264
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the Mugatu, you know, kind of a fun shout out to the Zoonlander.

44:17.925 --> 44:21.688
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll feral character, Mugatu, so nope.

44:21.868 --> 44:23.910
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was a fun nod to that.

44:25.506 --> 44:26.287
[SPEAKER_02]: Definitely true.

44:26.307 --> 44:29.729
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean the question I thought this is great.

44:29.769 --> 44:38.775
[SPEAKER_02]: I love getting into the underbelly crimes that happen amongst the utopian ideas of most Star Trek shows.

44:39.015 --> 44:39.576
[SPEAKER_02]: That's cool

44:40.462 --> 44:55.539
[SPEAKER_02]: that there's also a great panel where a dude is like, oh, I shouldn't have hooked up and in the foreground, you see a three cup bra hanging from like the tree next to the funny, but the, the thing, the directions.

44:56.527 --> 45:00.070
[SPEAKER_02]: This book is a feathering the idea that Richards know they're going to die.

45:00.550 --> 45:03.753
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I think that's not that's not what's supposed to be.

45:04.633 --> 45:08.557
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not like you're like, oh no, that's a pop culture thing.

45:08.597 --> 45:10.278
[SPEAKER_02]: Not a Star Trek culture thing.

45:10.538 --> 45:16.523
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, it's there are a lot of engines and all the engines should not be like, well, we are going to die.

45:16.663 --> 45:17.824
[SPEAKER_03]: That's not exactly it.

45:18.444 --> 45:18.925
[SPEAKER_03]: I think,

45:19.973 --> 45:34.027
[SPEAKER_03]: this one, at least in this first issue, finds a better way around it and a better reason for that than the first one did, which yeah, that was a little critical of because like it was very deathly serious about like,

45:35.008 --> 45:37.669
[SPEAKER_03]: They're all red shirts, and they're all gonna die, period.

45:37.729 --> 45:43.512
[SPEAKER_03]: This one at least finds some fun in the weirdest of that concept and explains why they're getting all those folks to do it.

45:43.752 --> 45:53.077
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, there's related to the idea that it's like, well, if you're gonna do a mission that's a crime, you need the lowest level goons to do it.

45:53.197 --> 45:55.058
[SPEAKER_02]: So, there's not a lot of questions.

45:55.944 --> 45:58.285
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but fun start next up.

45:58.525 --> 46:07.128
[SPEAKER_03]: This is one that I know everybody liked on Kenny X-Men number 32 Marvel Mike Alcimone art by Roja and Tonyo Jim Toe and Freda Reak of Manson.

46:07.608 --> 46:12.910
[SPEAKER_03]: There are two alien visions happening Louisiana at the same time with the X-Men caught in the

46:13.570 --> 46:14.931
[SPEAKER_03]: middle and this issue.

46:14.951 --> 46:18.252
[SPEAKER_03]: They fight back as well as one of them.

46:18.652 --> 46:22.413
[SPEAKER_03]: Two of them actually leave the team it is for right now by the end.

46:23.174 --> 46:25.835
[SPEAKER_03]: Since you guys definitely like this one, what did you like about it?

46:25.955 --> 46:26.395
[SPEAKER_03]: What are you?

46:26.615 --> 46:27.295
[SPEAKER_03]: What are you enjoying?

46:27.596 --> 46:28.716
[SPEAKER_02]: Pete, you shouted this out.

46:28.996 --> 46:30.897
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well first off, cool cover.

46:30.977 --> 46:31.857
[SPEAKER_01]: Really fun.

46:34.777 --> 46:54.001
[SPEAKER_01]: great art and action fun stuff roping proud of her new acts team it was just great stuff love the humor of the tone quality comics i just felt like it was a nice kind of emotional rogan rummy kind of leaving the team everybody said about it but excited for them so i loved it

46:55.375 --> 46:59.138
[SPEAKER_02]: They're like, he's sick, he's a dragon, he has a new name.

46:59.158 --> 47:02.921
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, wow, okay, he's leading into it a little bit.

47:03.702 --> 47:10.928
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't, when I have a cold, I'm not like, I'm, Slyvern, do you want us to start calling it?

47:10.948 --> 47:13.190
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you have a nice, honestly, maybe that would help.

47:13.410 --> 47:16.193
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a really turn of being sick into a string.

47:16.213 --> 47:17.053
[SPEAKER_01]: That quill.

47:17.133 --> 47:20.957
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's like, oh, it's, I'm the terror, I just think it's a weird word.

47:22.008 --> 47:25.190
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, but I, I think this book is so good.

47:25.610 --> 47:33.774
[SPEAKER_02]: The, the, the, I said this, the previous to this issue, I feel like the series has been leaning into these like old school sci-fi movie tropes and this does that.

47:33.814 --> 47:40.858
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, incorporating mutina into the team and have everyone be like, we don't really like you're just like, I don't like you, but I am part of this now.

47:40.998 --> 47:47.721
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's cool, giving them the new mutants name in this car that that was also shallow, much, much of loved that.

47:48.382 --> 47:49.062
[SPEAKER_02]: That's been it.

47:49.142 --> 47:57.044
[SPEAKER_03]: what I saw rogue a gavel with the boxes and was like, come on, let's do this here we go, because that's just a little blue and some branded boxes.

47:57.245 --> 48:00.045
[SPEAKER_03]: And first of all, I was like, where did they order this from?

48:00.706 --> 48:02.066
[SPEAKER_03]: Who did they see this from?

48:02.086 --> 48:03.106
[SPEAKER_03]: At sea, yeah.

48:04.387 --> 48:11.109
[SPEAKER_03]: But still, yeah, I was hoping it was the debut in costumes and that they did it, and not only did they get the costumes, they get the name, very satisfying.

48:11.149 --> 48:12.889
[SPEAKER_02]: Then on the table for a while, happy to see it.

48:13.349 --> 48:17.411
[SPEAKER_02]: But I also want to say, if you're a fan of X-Men 97,

48:18.811 --> 48:20.774
[SPEAKER_02]: you need to be reading this comic book.

48:20.814 --> 48:25.420
[SPEAKER_02]: This comic book is the comic that is doing that currently now.

48:25.501 --> 48:28.224
[SPEAKER_02]: No other comic is even approaching that style of storytelling.

48:28.765 --> 48:29.867
[SPEAKER_02]: That series is awesome.

48:29.887 --> 48:31.209
[SPEAKER_02]: This comic is awesome.

48:31.549 --> 48:33.712
[SPEAKER_02]: Everyone should be consuming both of these things.

48:34.787 --> 48:45.854
[SPEAKER_03]: The last I agree with everything you guys said the last little note that I'll throw out there is I love romantic swash buckling night crawler and that's what we're getting here and it's just the best.

48:46.154 --> 48:55.079
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like I said this with a previous issue there's a lot of folks that have been pairing this to Chris Kriermontz on Kenny Xman and keep shouting him out this episode.

48:55.539 --> 49:01.484
[SPEAKER_03]: But I think this is actually a lot closer to Excalibur in terms of it's kind of a weird team.

49:01.584 --> 49:10.031
[SPEAKER_03]: There's weird things going out all the time, but ultimately it's these people that are this de facto family that have joined together all living in the same place.

49:10.212 --> 49:10.532
[SPEAKER_03]: It's great.

49:10.968 --> 49:34.694
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's a great comfort you that lights you up, but for most people, that's no, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's zero, that's

49:35.035 --> 49:41.298
[SPEAKER_01]: You're like, I know a lot of people are complimenting it, but I wanna just take it down to that.

49:41.318 --> 49:42.779
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I love Excalibur.

49:42.799 --> 49:47.381
[SPEAKER_03]: You gotta go back and read those original issues of Excalibur.

49:47.421 --> 49:54.225
[SPEAKER_03]: It's definitely got a crazy wonky after a while, but the first like 12 issues or so are so good.

49:54.405 --> 49:54.765
[SPEAKER_03]: They're great.

49:55.345 --> 50:06.034
[SPEAKER_02]: The most Excalibur thing I think lately in X-Men continuity was the during Crocoa, the swords and those X-Men swords and all that.

50:06.494 --> 50:16.002
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, the thing that I'm thinking about though is like there's always stuff at Excalibur where like the warwolves would show up with through the shiny, weird, odd things.

50:16.562 --> 50:30.949
[SPEAKER_03]: And they come back with a lot of the other characters that I'll write and they just sort of like pop in and pop out for a while and then disappear And that's kind of what this title does is like oh, there's two alien invasions But the important thing here is they get new costumes period and it's great.

50:31.389 --> 50:32.270
[SPEAKER_03]: I just have it a blast

50:33.351 --> 50:49.101
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, void rivals number 32 from sky-bouted image comics written by Robert Kirkman art by Connor Hughes and this is she really dialing down on our void rivals hanging out with Pythana from guess, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

50:49.922 --> 51:02.355
[SPEAKER_03]: leading up to the introduction of Rom who was actually introduced in a surprise issue that was provided in blind bags of bass number one and will be generally available at the end of August.

51:03.556 --> 51:07.560
[SPEAKER_03]: But Pete, what do you think you're our energon correspondent?

51:07.860 --> 51:31.263
[SPEAKER_01]: yeah this continues to kick so much as first off cool cover um yeah fun to see python i can't believe you know they may python a cry come on android like be cooler about this you know like it's not just some and it's not being cool yeah it's not just some ship you know it's a you gotta think they gotta talk to the android p yeah it's a it's a liviathan for Christ's sake you know

51:31.746 --> 51:55.260
[SPEAKER_01]: and then that ship gave birth to a baby ship so you know the future is bright you know what I mean so but yeah I mean there's a lot of cry in this episode you know so people feel in the motions which is good and fun kind of reveal at the end um... you know so uh... yeah this continues to be a blast uh... and uh... you know jumping the bath is is warm

51:55.830 --> 52:03.372
[SPEAKER_02]: How would you feel if you're like your car you had it for a long time and the only way to get your next car would be to like make sure that car had a baby car.

52:03.772 --> 52:04.832
[SPEAKER_03]: Can I say something crazy?

52:04.972 --> 52:06.793
[SPEAKER_03]: I was going to say the exact same thing.

52:06.813 --> 52:08.193
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't, I don't, I don't wear that in line.

52:09.373 --> 52:11.034
[SPEAKER_02]: Got that baby, my car is pregnant.

52:11.354 --> 52:12.714
[SPEAKER_02]: I need this new car.

52:12.894 --> 52:21.737
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's, you know, that's exciting, but it's also like, you know, that means your, uh, your old car is coming to an end, you know, because the new car is being born.

52:25.148 --> 52:42.950
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a circle life, I say yeah, it's a circle of, I mean I guess it makes them a sense because Transformers are cars and trucks and so you really believe in this shit and you walk Not only do you talk the talk what you do walk the walk and you do bottle feed your car gas And so that's right you sweet.

52:43.350 --> 52:43.531
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah

52:44.171 --> 52:46.952
[SPEAKER_03]: I will say that I like this issue.

52:47.032 --> 52:49.933
[SPEAKER_03]: Void rivals has been very meandering the entire time.

52:49.953 --> 52:53.734
[SPEAKER_03]: I think they really dialed down and focused in this issue.

52:53.874 --> 52:58.755
[SPEAKER_03]: All the stuff that Pete was calling out with Handroid and his name, Derek.

52:58.915 --> 53:00.676
[SPEAKER_03]: I really should know their names, but let's say Derek.

53:08.058 --> 53:09.099
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, it's void rival.

53:09.939 --> 53:10.940
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought it was very cool.

53:11.320 --> 53:23.667
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought there was some good characterization in here in this issue that we're usually sorely lacking From this comic and I am a sucker for rom so see you know show all right now.

53:23.747 --> 53:31.292
[SPEAKER_02]: It's your it's your bath for me Yeah, Pete loves rom's because you love rom's rom coms and I think maybe we're gonna get a rom com

53:32.172 --> 53:42.938
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, at some point in here, but I agree with you, when this comic dials in on these characters and we get sort of a little bit of a landing place into a narrative, I'm like, yes, this is good.

53:42.998 --> 53:53.684
[SPEAKER_02]: I like a big sci-fi story, these two people from different worlds coming together, but this comic does not want to take any tangent and go for a crazy drive.

53:55.423 --> 54:01.469
[SPEAKER_01]: You've locked me there when you said landing place, because I'm still mourning the laws of their ship, Leviathan, you know what I mean?

54:01.889 --> 54:03.431
[SPEAKER_02]: But they have a little baby bug.

54:03.631 --> 54:03.871
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

54:04.052 --> 54:06.534
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a bug though, yuck.

54:07.435 --> 54:09.397
[SPEAKER_02]: But here's a lie, not to keep going in this analogy.

54:09.417 --> 54:13.261
[SPEAKER_02]: What if you're carried to drive it from inside the engine?

54:13.281 --> 54:15.143
[SPEAKER_02]: These guys are driving it in the bug brain.

54:16.282 --> 54:31.425
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah man, what if you had a drive a bug car from the outside the bug brain is real cushy, you know what if it's cushy, yeah, what if it's juicy soft and you know Just comfy you want to get in a bug?

54:32.866 --> 54:39.007
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if the inside is a good bear, you know chair or something, you know it's like you know driving on a cloud

54:40.453 --> 54:48.957
[SPEAKER_03]: People was, was this a comic where there was a car, somebody transforms into a car, the inside is all fleshed bones and stuff.

54:49.297 --> 54:49.757
[SPEAKER_01]: Am I?

54:50.637 --> 54:52.378
[SPEAKER_02]: That is a thing that we've seen.

54:52.658 --> 54:55.579
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that used to be a cartoon or a dude turned into a car.

54:56.120 --> 54:57.780
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, some of that happened recently, did it.

54:57.940 --> 54:58.901
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember what it is.

54:59.361 --> 55:00.161
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, anyway.

55:00.342 --> 55:01.982
[SPEAKER_02]: Or anthology made it.

55:02.002 --> 55:05.024
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think story where it was like a bone car.

55:05.444 --> 55:05.704
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

55:06.578 --> 55:21.505
[SPEAKER_03]: Dark Knights of Steel, too, heir to the sea, number one from DC Comics, written by Tom Taylor, art by Ricardo, Fedor Richi, there's a one-shot spinning off of Dark Knights of Steel, too, giving us the origin of Aquaman in this medieval world.

55:22.166 --> 55:27.308
[SPEAKER_03]: And wonder of wonders, he is adopted by the Kenths and raised by them.

55:27.848 --> 55:29.049
[SPEAKER_03]: So, huge twist there.

55:29.769 --> 55:34.952
[SPEAKER_03]: There's also a tease of some more huge twists to come with this character.

55:36.132 --> 55:37.614
[SPEAKER_03]: Justin, what did you think about this one?

55:37.734 --> 55:38.675
[SPEAKER_03]: Al-Khamad is your guy.

55:39.255 --> 55:40.957
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought this was very cool.

55:41.337 --> 55:47.763
[SPEAKER_02]: I really liked the Dark Knight to steal two number one that was last week, and we where we see Al-Khamad at the end of the issue.

55:48.283 --> 55:51.706
[SPEAKER_02]: And this to give us a backstory that I thought was good, and it was great, like...

55:52.640 --> 56:05.090
[SPEAKER_02]: Mixed tape of DC origins having the cans find an underwater baby and raising that kid That's just like what's a puddle, but a spaceship from the ocean.

56:05.651 --> 56:09.634
[SPEAKER_02]: I think You know what I mean and I thought this was cool.

56:09.734 --> 56:17.140
[SPEAKER_02]: I like the larger implications of this black Mantis being set up in here as a very big villain which is good

56:18.227 --> 56:20.508
[SPEAKER_01]: This, oh, I'm sorry, you go ahead, Alex.

56:20.849 --> 56:22.350
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I was gonna let you rant, Pete.

56:22.810 --> 56:23.570
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, thank you.

56:23.590 --> 56:24.271
[SPEAKER_02]: Cause you love this.

56:24.631 --> 56:25.852
[SPEAKER_01]: This was very upsetting.

56:25.952 --> 56:32.656
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, stop making everybody have the same name, you know, like having Martha be Aquaman's mom too.

56:32.736 --> 56:34.778
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you got to stop DC with this, like, what's your mom's name?

56:34.998 --> 56:35.858
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god, that's my mom's name.

56:35.878 --> 56:36.999
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, stop giving everybody the same named mom.

56:37.039 --> 56:43.023
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you

56:43.123 --> 56:45.866
[SPEAKER_01]: that was such a horrible point in the movie.

56:46.287 --> 56:49.570
[SPEAKER_01]: And I can't believe that this is just the calling back.

56:49.710 --> 56:52.073
[SPEAKER_02]: Everyone at DC's mom's is named Mark.

56:52.093 --> 56:53.795
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's a crazy coincidence.

56:53.815 --> 56:58.000
[SPEAKER_01]: It's part of their culture and their heritage, so it's actually very insulting for you to bring up.

56:58.340 --> 57:08.422
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm sorry to insult you, but I'm sick of everybody having Martha as their mom, and it being a huge talking point, and it's just like, stop revealing it.

57:08.462 --> 57:11.123
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just racist towards Martha Americans.

57:11.203 --> 57:11.863
[SPEAKER_03]: I get what it is.

57:11.903 --> 57:12.843
[SPEAKER_03]: That's fine.

57:12.883 --> 57:15.004
[SPEAKER_02]: This was an innocent incident.

57:15.044 --> 57:16.884
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a story choice.

57:17.344 --> 57:17.884
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought of it.

57:17.904 --> 57:21.405
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I just, I'm sick of DC being like, hey, the reveal is going to be

57:22.163 --> 57:23.124
[SPEAKER_01]: This name is Martha.

57:23.505 --> 57:25.247
[SPEAKER_03]: That's not what that wasn't the reveal.

57:25.908 --> 57:28.031
[SPEAKER_03]: That wasn't the reveal and it was the same, Martha.

57:28.512 --> 57:31.556
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm still so hurt from the movie that I can't.

57:32.137 --> 57:35.762
[SPEAKER_01]: Anytime DC does this, it makes me super mad, so I'm sorry.

57:36.242 --> 57:36.543
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

57:37.694 --> 57:56.852
[SPEAKER_03]: uh... great that seems to be a little criticism of this comic this is a really good is story i thought well done really gave us a very different origin for aquaman which may be intrigued to see how he's going to play out going forward there's also a lot of fun to in here a lot of

57:57.553 --> 58:02.857
[SPEAKER_03]: play going on as Arthur freeze a bunch of lobsters for the town.

58:02.997 --> 58:13.165
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, there's a thing where he punches King Shark in the heart and you're like, oh no, he killed King Shark and King Shark's like, nah, I don't know, my heart's hard, it's not here, it's fine.

58:14.266 --> 58:19.970
[SPEAKER_03]: So there's some fun stuff going on even in the middle of like all the dark ages seriousness and that's a great place to be.

58:21.083 --> 58:27.151
[SPEAKER_03]: Sicko number one from Ignition Press with like any Howard art by Amal Carpina.

58:27.732 --> 58:35.663
[SPEAKER_03]: The idea of this book that becomes apparent as it goes on is there is a woman who is having her immune system attached.

58:35.683 --> 58:38.567
[SPEAKER_03]: She doesn't know why doesn't know what it's happening, but she figures out.

58:38.995 --> 58:50.507
[SPEAKER_03]: She can harness that in the other direction and make her amuse them attack other people and that makes her temporarily feel better and she starts to go on the run because of that.

58:51.027 --> 58:57.474
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought this was a great kick off with a wild premise and some really gorgeous off-kilter art in here.

58:58.255 --> 59:00.117
[SPEAKER_03]: I enjoyed it, but how do you guys feel?

59:00.868 --> 59:22.289
[SPEAKER_02]: same I like this to this felt like very 90s vertigo coming like and I like the idea very curious how to tell where we're going she's definitely a character that feels like has been crushed by the world and her place in it and now she's lashing out so it is it that like punk rock story or are we going in another direction here looking forward to finding out

59:22.923 --> 59:47.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, the idea of a killer immune system that will attack its host own immune system if it can't attack anybody else is kind of an interesting thing and the art is crazy, but yeah, I mean, the dark side to this like this person who's suffering is tough, but yeah, other than that, yeah, artistically it's pretty unique and interesting.

59:48.192 --> 59:57.719
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I do think there is an element here that this is in just like cool power fantasy period that there are a lot of people out there with debilitating illnesses.

59:57.979 --> 01:00:09.768
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think this is trying to build off of that and figuring out how exactly how can you make the power fantasy of that sort of thing and flip it around a little bit because they're not just making.

01:00:16.853 --> 01:00:19.898
[SPEAKER_03]: textual layer that I assume they will play with going forward.

01:00:21.064 --> 01:00:26.308
[SPEAKER_03]: Next up, Spider-Man Longway home number two from Marvel Written by Jonathan Hikman, Art by Adam Cuber.

01:00:26.468 --> 01:00:38.516
[SPEAKER_03]: This is a out of continuity series that finds a different kind of Punisher, has taken control of a cosmic cube, and both Spider-Man and the Hulk are on his tail.

01:00:40.038 --> 01:00:48.604
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so big stuff goes down here, particularly the Hulk is a unrepentant murderer, a big week for murderers in Marvel, which

01:00:50.825 --> 01:00:56.871
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, this comic reading I'm like, what was the development process like how did this come I feel like it was?

01:00:57.351 --> 01:00:58.752
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, we have this movie.

01:00:58.933 --> 01:01:13.346
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's put the characters in the movie in a comic and John and the Hacomot was like, oh, hold my beer I'm about to do something you did not see coming and that's what this is so as a comic reader I like it as a fan of the movie.

01:01:13.506 --> 01:01:14.627
[SPEAKER_02]: I would be like oh

01:01:17.231 --> 01:01:18.392
[SPEAKER_03]: Pete, how do you feel about this?

01:01:19.152 --> 01:01:28.217
[SPEAKER_01]: The 80s had band-punisher was a lot, especially when he was smiling, so I do think this was it like to see your guy smile?

01:01:28.357 --> 01:01:33.339
[SPEAKER_01]: I was weird, I felt weird and I didn't know how to feel.

01:01:34.460 --> 01:01:41.823
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think it's a fun idea, sad what happened to that guy and his little dog, but

01:01:45.868 --> 01:01:47.385
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, so

01:01:50.897 --> 01:01:51.177
[SPEAKER_03]: Cool.

01:01:51.237 --> 01:01:52.198
[SPEAKER_03]: I do think the artist's great.

01:01:52.258 --> 01:02:02.644
[SPEAKER_03]: I would actually suggest it was more in the line with Jada Thickman getting Adam Cuber and figuring out how he could write for him similar to the book that he did with Greg Capulo would be my guess.

01:02:03.224 --> 01:02:05.206
[SPEAKER_03]: So in that it's an art showcase.

01:02:05.406 --> 01:02:18.153
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just plot-wise turning Hulk into objectively the bad guy of this book as a surprising place to put him and like he just does not meet up with what's going on to the movie it seems like at all.

01:02:18.653 --> 01:02:19.514
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's weird.

01:02:19.694 --> 01:02:21.915
[SPEAKER_02]: But in the climate it came to be the McGuffin field.

01:02:21.935 --> 01:02:30.678
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, there's a lot going on There's also a lot of travel in this particular issue But you know, I'll read the next one.

01:02:30.878 --> 01:02:41.922
[SPEAKER_03]: It's pretty Universal monsters blood of the wolf man number two from skybout an image comics written by Joshua Williams and art by Leo Max We're following a wolf who is a teen a teen wolf if you will

01:02:43.662 --> 01:02:48.986
[SPEAKER_03]: I would love to see more on that possibly like can he play basketball?

01:02:49.006 --> 01:03:04.859
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess we'll find out these surf on top of car that that's the first thing I think of as a teen would a team would do is play basketball He has been kidding a couple of murders maybe as a wolfman and we delve more into that this issue as well Is this twisted relationship with his father?

01:03:04.939 --> 01:03:06.080
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you guys think about this?

01:03:06.880 --> 01:03:11.124
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think the art is the real kind of hero here It's really some just

01:03:11.704 --> 01:03:13.785
[SPEAKER_01]: beautiful layouts.

01:03:14.205 --> 01:03:19.347
[SPEAKER_01]: They kind of sunset from the car window is really beautiful and awesome.

01:03:19.427 --> 01:03:21.808
[SPEAKER_01]: So also this cover is great.

01:03:22.328 --> 01:03:29.131
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think it does a great job of capturing the kind of wolf man will be kind of tone a little bit.

01:03:29.171 --> 01:03:34.513
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I think this is really unique and cool and it's great to see them take a property.

01:03:34.553 --> 01:03:37.714
[SPEAKER_01]: We know so well and kind of have some fun within the comic book world.

01:03:38.367 --> 01:03:44.129
[SPEAKER_02]: If you are being chased by a werewolf and you can get your hands and all I heard was you say Arby's so I got hungry.

01:03:44.149 --> 01:03:44.569
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry.

01:03:44.949 --> 01:03:47.569
[SPEAKER_02]: If you are bees, something's wrong with your appetite.

01:03:47.789 --> 01:03:52.031
[SPEAKER_02]: If you are being chased by a werewolf and you can get your hands in a basketball, they can't resist.

01:03:52.371 --> 01:03:57.412
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you've got to just give them a chest pass and then you can, you know, they were that already out of the bounce pass even.

01:03:58.453 --> 01:03:59.273
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this is good.

01:03:59.313 --> 01:04:01.475
[SPEAKER_02]: The pacing of this comic is excellent.

01:04:02.075 --> 01:04:05.278
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels very meticulously paced.

01:04:05.718 --> 01:04:08.420
[SPEAKER_02]: Yet a lot is happening, especially by the end of this issue.

01:04:08.500 --> 01:04:11.883
[SPEAKER_02]: I really liked how the story was really driving hard forward.

01:04:13.281 --> 01:04:28.659
[SPEAKER_03]: agreed next up the flash number 35 DC comics written by Ryan North art by Gavin Gwejry and the flash is developing this new power which gives him kind of pre-cognition he's sort of figuring out how it works working with Mr.

01:04:28.699 --> 01:04:29.160
[SPEAKER_03]: Terrific.

01:04:30.199 --> 01:04:46.658
[SPEAKER_03]: and this issue he figures out if he studies everything in the entire city he can actually prevent crimes and terrible things from happening before they happen is also tangling with heat wave a little bit and he decides to am things up by the end of the issue but i do want to start off

01:04:47.098 --> 01:05:04.661
[SPEAKER_03]: by saying something that I always say here on the podcast which is cool cover and the reason this is cool cover is the front cover is flash getting fired at by heat wave who was on the head the head the deck of a pirate ship that is raised out of the sea

01:05:05.502 --> 01:05:17.485
[SPEAKER_03]: And then you flip to the first page and it shows flash dodging to the other side of the heat wave, so it's the same frame, but he's moved fast through it, and that is so cool.

01:05:18.105 --> 01:05:20.986
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this book is just really operating.

01:05:21.026 --> 01:05:22.606
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like I really like it.

01:05:23.006 --> 01:05:24.187
[SPEAKER_02]: I like these ideas.

01:05:24.327 --> 01:05:26.887
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the art is really fun and carefree.

01:05:26.967 --> 01:05:28.348
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels very loose.

01:05:28.368 --> 01:05:32.529
[SPEAKER_02]: It's capturing the tone of the character just to the art look alone.

01:05:33.349 --> 01:05:40.014
[SPEAKER_02]: And right north, still using all of his science, the flash is becoming a predictive algorithm in a way.

01:05:40.455 --> 01:05:44.418
[SPEAKER_02]: And I feel like that will become a problem soon.

01:05:44.458 --> 01:05:46.399
[SPEAKER_01]: Just so I don't want to give you kind of notes.

01:05:46.419 --> 01:05:48.341
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder when you're talking well about a common.

01:05:48.421 --> 01:05:49.081
[SPEAKER_02]: I like him.

01:05:49.102 --> 01:05:51.623
[SPEAKER_02]: Been so happy in all these years to find out it's in them.

01:05:52.344 --> 01:05:57.128
[SPEAKER_01]: You say normally a person says this comic is operating on another level.

01:05:57.228 --> 01:05:58.028
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like insane.

01:05:58.048 --> 01:05:59.910
[SPEAKER_01]: But you just said this comic is operating.

01:06:00.450 --> 01:06:02.651
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, well, is that good, I guess?

01:06:02.691 --> 01:06:04.351
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, that's good with a vernacular, Pete.

01:06:04.371 --> 01:06:05.792
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't need to say the level.

01:06:05.912 --> 01:06:06.732
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just operating.

01:06:07.252 --> 01:06:07.833
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, OK.

01:06:07.913 --> 01:06:09.093
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess I'm just not here.

01:06:09.193 --> 01:06:13.675
[SPEAKER_03]: I would argue most of the comics on the stack are operating.

01:06:13.755 --> 01:06:16.456
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you end in a song Smooth Operator?

01:06:16.556 --> 01:06:20.197
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you missing what level the operator is being smooth on?

01:06:20.937 --> 01:06:22.298
[SPEAKER_01]: Or are you pretty cool?

01:06:22.398 --> 01:06:24.458
[SPEAKER_01]: So some operations go wrong.

01:06:24.538 --> 01:06:26.759
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, do you think you're never going to clarify?

01:06:26.779 --> 01:06:27.899
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, we ever get a clue.

01:06:27.919 --> 01:06:29.100
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we never know.

01:06:29.620 --> 01:06:29.940
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:06:30.060 --> 01:06:33.023
[SPEAKER_02]: When you go to the hospital, do you request a smooth operator?

01:06:34.164 --> 01:06:34.585
[SPEAKER_01]: Always.

01:06:35.085 --> 01:06:36.066
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the first thing I did.

01:06:36.086 --> 01:06:37.047
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it on the form?

01:06:37.207 --> 01:06:39.088
[SPEAKER_02]: What's your insurance that has that on the form?

01:06:39.109 --> 01:06:40.089
[SPEAKER_02]: Like a check.

01:06:40.490 --> 01:06:42.932
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll take the smooth operator.

01:06:42.972 --> 01:06:44.733
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, Pico has to talk to your feel good.

01:06:44.814 --> 01:06:45.374
[SPEAKER_01]: I know that.

01:06:45.414 --> 01:06:45.514
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:06:45.534 --> 01:06:45.734
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:06:45.794 --> 01:06:46.715
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, hopefully.

01:06:47.156 --> 01:06:47.636
[SPEAKER_01]: Who doesn't?

01:06:47.856 --> 01:06:48.116
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:06:48.317 --> 01:06:49.217
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, what's?

01:06:50.278 --> 01:07:17.070
[SPEAKER_01]: What's impressive about this comic is just like the fun that it's having like You know the fact that he like steals the lava guns away from the guy is kind of a fun move and wants to move to Metropolis This is all just kind of I feel like doing a great job of capturing kind of Flash and who he is as a character and kind of a Heightening mat and all the cool ways and also great splash page in here that we get so great art

01:07:18.150 --> 01:07:18.990
[SPEAKER_01]: Fun story.

01:07:19.110 --> 01:07:20.351
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a flash page.

01:07:20.871 --> 01:07:21.751
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:07:22.111 --> 01:07:23.291
[SPEAKER_01]: This is doing a great job of flash.

01:07:24.692 --> 01:07:30.673
[SPEAKER_03]: Giant robot Hellboy returns number one from Dark Horse Comics written by Mike Mediola art by Duncan for Gredo.

01:07:31.453 --> 01:07:39.475
[SPEAKER_03]: We are getting a sequel series here about a giant robot that has not exactly the brine of Hellboy robot.

01:07:39.715 --> 01:07:39.976
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:07:40.296 --> 01:07:41.556
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, they've taken Hellboy

01:07:42.290 --> 01:07:59.770
[SPEAKER_03]: and transferred his brain into a giant robot here they're going to the bottom of the sea to try to get it back so we get a bit of what you might call a pacific rimsitch going under the sea yeah that's for sure that was uh peat you are over the moon for this one because it's a large hellboy i assume but take it away

01:08:00.310 --> 01:08:04.992
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I'm excited because it's like, you know, they're like, oh, I know you guys want Hellboy.

01:08:05.052 --> 01:08:06.912
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, we'll give you a robot Hellboy.

01:08:07.213 --> 01:08:07.453
[SPEAKER_01]: Huh?

01:08:07.833 --> 01:08:09.113
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's a sense of value.

01:08:09.133 --> 01:08:10.234
[SPEAKER_01]: To work.

01:08:10.674 --> 01:08:11.094
[SPEAKER_01]: It did.

01:08:11.234 --> 01:08:11.814
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a little bit.

01:08:12.154 --> 01:08:12.574
[SPEAKER_01]: It did.

01:08:12.674 --> 01:08:13.495
[SPEAKER_01]: It was exciting.

01:08:13.595 --> 01:08:16.296
[SPEAKER_01]: I felt like we were close to getting Hellboy back.

01:08:16.356 --> 01:08:20.517
[SPEAKER_01]: It was fun to even see a robot being Hellboy.

01:08:21.598 --> 01:08:22.198
[SPEAKER_01]: Great art.

01:08:22.838 --> 01:08:24.661
[SPEAKER_01]: fun kind of hellboy adventures.

01:08:25.322 --> 01:08:30.809
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, man, if we can't get hellboy back and this is close as we get, I'll take it.

01:08:31.010 --> 01:08:31.551
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.

01:08:32.011 --> 01:08:34.855
[SPEAKER_01]: This is fun and tomorrow, please.

01:08:35.076 --> 01:08:38.140
[SPEAKER_01]: I would like to hellboy back, but I'll take this robot in its place.

01:08:39.379 --> 01:08:41.781
[SPEAKER_02]: Nice, sort of a methadone hellboy in a lot of ways.

01:08:41.801 --> 01:08:45.965
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, um, I Yeah, I thought this was was fun.

01:08:46.105 --> 01:09:05.381
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't there's a lot of yelling in this comic that I didn't like understand There are people yelling, you know, I understand people yelling You understand the concept of yelling people almost exclusively yell their ideas and you But the I don't know I just like

01:09:06.413 --> 01:09:17.941
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess I'm not as on you're like, why are you like, you're just like, the ladies was silly because it was like, what if we took Hellboy's brain and put it in a giant robot, let's see what that looks like.

01:09:18.021 --> 01:09:20.703
[SPEAKER_03]: This one is a little more classic.

01:09:20.763 --> 01:09:22.705
[SPEAKER_03]: We'd be all that complicated mythology.

01:09:22.725 --> 01:09:25.587
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to the bottom of the ocean and their secret portal.

01:09:25.607 --> 01:09:26.447
[SPEAKER_03]: God, whatever.

01:09:26.527 --> 01:09:28.769
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, all right, and this was a simple.

01:09:28.889 --> 01:09:30.951
[SPEAKER_03]: You complicated it up a little bit.

01:09:31.011 --> 01:09:32.632
[SPEAKER_02]: And it also just less fun and Jim.

01:09:32.672 --> 01:09:34.113
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, what?

01:09:35.057 --> 01:10:02.565
[SPEAKER_03]: Some thing is killing the children number forty nine for boobsteads and my jails ton of fun Written by James time of the fourth art by Werther Della had a rough look this is the final part of the arc that has been back in the day following a young Erica Slotter as she visits a snowy resort and roots somebody do for the house of slotter before we flash back to the present day to catch up with Erica for the first time in a really long time

01:10:03.905 --> 01:10:09.774
[SPEAKER_03]: Pete, why don't we go to you first since you are a fan of this book and then Justin as a known hater of this book you've talked about.

01:10:09.894 --> 01:10:17.004
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not a hater, but I will say you use the term really caught up with Erica in the present and I don't think so.

01:10:17.505 --> 01:10:18.727
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think that's what happened to this.

01:10:18.887 --> 01:10:20.769
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, you got to see him walking.

01:10:20.829 --> 01:10:22.610
[SPEAKER_02]: He's on image of her in the present.

01:10:22.690 --> 01:10:26.474
[SPEAKER_02]: She had a slightly different haircut, which that must blow your fucking hair back here.

01:10:26.534 --> 01:10:27.134
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess.

01:10:27.294 --> 01:10:28.576
[SPEAKER_02]: Really?

01:10:28.616 --> 01:10:29.817
[SPEAKER_03]: What is killing it?

01:10:30.457 --> 01:10:31.738
[SPEAKER_01]: What's the haircut, you know?

01:10:31.798 --> 01:10:32.839
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm talking about.

01:10:32.999 --> 01:10:33.840
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I agree.

01:10:34.501 --> 01:10:34.981
[SPEAKER_01]: I love this.

01:10:35.001 --> 01:10:36.883
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care what JT says.

01:10:37.103 --> 01:10:41.407
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm what JT for on this because something is killing the split ends.

01:10:42.247 --> 01:10:55.138
[SPEAKER_01]: and this is four times the fun not we get a lot of just talking but I don't care because the art's great and this is just such a great book and as long as I get to spend time with these characters I am happy

01:10:56.870 --> 01:11:08.761
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is such a unique world and idea, and I, you know, we kind of get to see people pick their totems in this one, so that was kind of cool and unique.

01:11:09.041 --> 01:11:13.225
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't care what they do, I'm there for because I'm a fan.

01:11:14.468 --> 01:11:14.948
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go.

01:11:15.108 --> 01:11:16.069
[SPEAKER_02]: What a great take.

01:11:16.409 --> 01:11:21.912
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't care what they do because I want to like this book, but I feel like so many issues.

01:11:21.972 --> 01:11:25.954
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, well, because yes, there's a totem selection happens, but it doesn't happen.

01:11:26.334 --> 01:11:28.195
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the idea that they might select a totem.

01:11:28.816 --> 01:11:31.777
[SPEAKER_02]: There's, uh, there's a lot of like almost things happening.

01:11:31.797 --> 01:11:33.298
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, well, you don't like gummy worms.

01:11:33.518 --> 01:11:35.519
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a fun gummy worm reveal in this.

01:11:35.540 --> 01:11:36.240
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't like that.

01:11:36.600 --> 01:11:42.184
[SPEAKER_03]: All I got to say is hook me up to that JT IV because I want it stuck at my veins.

01:11:42.204 --> 01:11:43.204
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what I'm talking about?

01:11:43.985 --> 01:11:45.886
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the new dentist camp camping.

01:11:46.446 --> 01:11:46.626
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

01:11:47.087 --> 01:11:49.028
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll try to say it a little better than next time.

01:11:49.088 --> 01:11:49.869
[SPEAKER_03]: That was a little awkward.

01:11:50.249 --> 01:11:51.369
[SPEAKER_02]: It's hard to get to it.

01:11:51.389 --> 01:11:55.972
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's gentle because no one looks at JT James time in the fourth and says IV first.

01:11:55.992 --> 01:11:56.313
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

01:11:56.733 --> 01:11:59.314
[SPEAKER_03]: Almost definitely not because that's not what it is.

01:12:00.455 --> 01:12:07.000
[SPEAKER_03]: I, the weird side effect here, I do generally actually agree with you, Justin, that this book takes its time.

01:12:07.040 --> 01:12:11.984
[SPEAKER_03]: Even though I love the art, but there isn't much that happens in most issues.

01:12:12.064 --> 01:12:14.366
[SPEAKER_03]: It's more just like, oh, it's nice to visit this world again.

01:12:15.026 --> 01:12:20.030
[SPEAKER_03]: However, I've been liking fall of the house of slaughter so much that it actually

01:12:27.418 --> 01:12:28.538
[SPEAKER_02]: But I agree with you.

01:12:28.758 --> 01:12:40.180
[SPEAKER_03]: I know, like what the grand dragon shows up, a character that up until this point, and up until the fall of the House of Slotter series, I've been like, I don't know, whatever he's a kind of cool dude, but I don't really care what he shows up, I'm like, oh, it's him, but he's dying in the present.

01:12:40.420 --> 01:12:41.400
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, this is exciting.

01:12:41.420 --> 01:12:44.801
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but there's more happening with Erica in that book than this one.

01:12:44.821 --> 01:12:45.601
[SPEAKER_02]: That's not it.

01:12:45.621 --> 01:12:46.141
[SPEAKER_02]: We got both.

01:12:46.161 --> 01:12:47.001
[SPEAKER_02]: She's not in that at all.

01:12:47.021 --> 01:12:48.322
[SPEAKER_02]: They just talk about her a little.

01:12:48.562 --> 01:12:56.763
[SPEAKER_02]: And in this, we follow her around in different time periods, and still it's just like, it's fucked up all these monsters and like, yes, agreed.

01:12:57.363 --> 01:12:58.224
[SPEAKER_03]: It is.

01:12:58.804 --> 01:13:02.728
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, we're rounded out to the big issue 50, so we'll see what that's like.

01:13:02.908 --> 01:13:04.169
[SPEAKER_03]: Next is you next up.

01:13:04.269 --> 01:13:08.733
[SPEAKER_03]: Green Lantern number 37 from DC Comics, written by Jeremy Adams, Art Bizer, Monaco.

01:13:08.833 --> 01:13:10.194
[SPEAKER_03]: We are picking up with the cloud line.

01:13:10.214 --> 01:13:14.558
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, a couple of plant lines that's issue, but the main one is Kyle Reiner and Odyssey.

01:13:15.158 --> 01:13:16.579
[SPEAKER_03]: are hanging out in Hollywood.

01:13:16.639 --> 01:13:18.380
[SPEAKER_03]: She is becoming a Hollywood star.

01:13:18.460 --> 01:13:22.722
[SPEAKER_03]: He is her bodyguard and also reigniting a romance with Jade.

01:13:23.143 --> 01:13:29.486
[SPEAKER_03]: This issue, they get involved with online trolls and tribe's Kyel kind of crazy.

01:13:30.386 --> 01:13:32.247
[SPEAKER_03]: I love this series.

01:13:32.788 --> 01:13:41.072
[SPEAKER_03]: Every issue is just so fun and they're having such a blast here, the relationship, the friendship relationship between Kyel and

01:13:42.693 --> 01:13:46.595
[SPEAKER_03]: the romantic relationship between Kyle and Jade is really hot as well.

01:13:46.695 --> 01:13:47.195
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, great.

01:13:47.215 --> 01:13:48.415
[SPEAKER_03]: That's great.

01:13:48.916 --> 01:13:49.676
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what this is?

01:13:49.736 --> 01:13:58.619
[SPEAKER_02]: To me, it has the mix of comedy and real superhero action of like not necessarily the Justice League back in the day.

01:13:59.020 --> 01:14:02.081
[SPEAKER_02]: And the art is even like in that world a little bit.

01:14:02.121 --> 01:14:04.282
[SPEAKER_02]: So like, I don't know if you're a fan of that.

01:14:04.942 --> 01:14:13.209
[SPEAKER_02]: and any of the sort of more fun versions of those superhero, those DC Superhero comics, like this is just a great book to jump into.

01:14:14.190 --> 01:14:24.258
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I hear it, I definitely, but like, you know, having trolls be trolls, I was a little like mine, right.

01:14:24.479 --> 01:14:31.444
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, it was fun seeing out and see cut up that troll with X caliber and then being like, you know,

01:14:32.632 --> 01:14:34.012
[SPEAKER_01]: It was kind of fucked up what you did there.

01:14:34.392 --> 01:14:37.353
[SPEAKER_03]: So, yeah, I thought that was a fun joke.

01:14:37.493 --> 01:14:42.415
[SPEAKER_03]: I liked the move of having Kyle saying, don't worry, it's no problem.

01:14:42.435 --> 01:14:44.235
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll just respond to this comment for you.

01:14:44.355 --> 01:14:46.396
[SPEAKER_03]: And then they cut through 40 hours later.

01:14:46.516 --> 01:14:50.057
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's completely screwed her life online.

01:14:50.097 --> 01:14:51.237
[SPEAKER_03]: He's like, okay, don't worry about it.

01:14:51.257 --> 01:14:53.318
[SPEAKER_03]: You take care of it from here, leaving.

01:14:53.338 --> 01:14:55.698
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just like you're getting at, I think, Justin.

01:14:55.718 --> 01:15:01.060
[SPEAKER_03]: There's this very casual, light, goofy humor to everything that's going on.

01:15:02.020 --> 01:15:14.671
[SPEAKER_03]: And even we get one page of whatever's going on with how Georgia the wonder twids and I don't know what's going on there But even that is light and fun at the same time and it's also funny that it's just like a crazy cut it in the middle of the story

01:15:15.517 --> 01:15:15.977
[SPEAKER_03]: Good stuff.

01:15:16.378 --> 01:15:17.198

[SPEAKER_03]: This pits Godzilla vs. the San Diego Convention Center, specifically.

01:15:33.132 --> 01:15:35.854
[SPEAKER_03]: San Diego, Comic Con versus the other

01:15:38.176 --> 01:15:39.756
[SPEAKER_03]: anthology one shots that we've had.

01:15:39.776 --> 01:15:42.418
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the whole city that he doesn't go to the zoo.

01:15:42.678 --> 01:15:44.659
[SPEAKER_03]: It is just the convention center.

01:15:44.679 --> 01:15:45.039
[SPEAKER_03]: That's it.

01:15:45.499 --> 01:15:46.460
[SPEAKER_03]: You seem pretty psyched.

01:15:47.060 --> 01:15:48.941
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean you have me at San Sikay.

01:15:49.742 --> 01:15:51.322
[SPEAKER_01]: He does the first story in here.

01:15:51.342 --> 01:15:54.344
[SPEAKER_01]: This is just a fun collection of stories.

01:15:54.764 --> 01:16:05.750
[SPEAKER_01]: A great use of Godzilla, even the kind of fun kind of lighter last story where they're all kind of dressed up and kind of fighting each other on the beaches fun.

01:16:07.438 --> 01:16:08.079
[SPEAKER_01]: This is great.

01:16:08.719 --> 01:16:12.243
[SPEAKER_01]: Arts really light is a blast.

01:16:12.323 --> 01:16:26.398
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a solid collection of books that are stories that are just kind of having a character and just, you know, it's a lighter, you know, so I think it's cool.

01:16:27.540 --> 01:16:39.707
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the other books in this run really good dial into the city, and this one focus so hard on Comic-Con, I mean, I get it, but I wouldn't like it's called, yes, I don't know.

01:16:39.747 --> 01:16:46.932
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a little bit more variety, I think, in the stories and gotten into some other San Diego stuff, because I think that's where the real power was in the other books.

01:16:47.891 --> 01:16:51.074
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, all very, these are all very semi is the problem.

01:16:51.254 --> 01:16:53.876
[SPEAKER_03]: Every single one of them is like, we're at San Diego Comic Con.

01:16:54.056 --> 01:16:57.159
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh-oh, Godzilla attacked thing about San Diego Comic Con.

01:16:57.219 --> 01:16:58.460
[SPEAKER_03]: So it gets a little repetitive.

01:16:59.261 --> 01:17:01.803
[SPEAKER_03]: I did like the stance guy story at the beginning.

01:17:02.283 --> 01:17:05.726
[SPEAKER_03]: He works with Sergio, our gonace or a lot, right?

01:17:05.826 --> 01:17:06.006

01:17:09.909 --> 01:17:13.853
[SPEAKER_03]: The story, we just got a wild, but, you know, it's fun.

[SPEAKER_03]: Skate Ali number two from Dark Horse Comics written by Sam Humphrey's art by Nostasha Bustos, this takes place in Rovers.

01:18:53.418 --> 01:18:58.381
[SPEAKER_02]: So like I said earlier, this really got me on board with super wide prime.

01:18:58.441 --> 01:19:05.705
[SPEAKER_02]: It's an emotional story at the same where the super wide prime sort of like actually owning the madness and

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, you've said enough.

01:21:33.602 --> 01:21:38.524
[SPEAKER_03]: To take the contrary opinion, I think it is good to tear up comics and sit on that.

01:21:38.544 --> 01:21:39.785
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think we should have more of

01:21:40.585 --> 01:21:42.766
[SPEAKER_02]: How dare you man comics are for butts.

01:21:43.327 --> 01:21:47.729

01:22:17.038 --> 01:22:19.040
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's really good.

01:22:19.220 --> 01:22:24.845
[SPEAKER_03]: Like we were talking about earlier, it gives him a delineation from the other super boys and the lie to her otherwise I'm very say me.

01:22:25.506 --> 01:22:26.247
[SPEAKER_03]: So good stuff.

01:22:26.827 --> 01:22:31.969
[SPEAKER_03]: Pat thoughts number two from ignition press written by eddy parks art by Dave Walker.

01:22:32.029 --> 01:22:35.370
[SPEAKER_03]: This is a spy thriller military thriller.

01:22:35.430 --> 01:22:46.673
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess about a unit that deals with a guy who can read psychic impressions of death and crimes and figure out where they came from.

01:22:47.013 --> 01:22:59.402
[SPEAKER_03]: sort of a Tony-choo situation without actually eating them, and this issue not only does it reveal his power to a bunch of friends over dinner, but he ends up in a bit of a pickle.

01:22:59.902 --> 01:23:00.623
[SPEAKER_02]: A bit of a pickle.

01:23:01.704 --> 01:23:03.025
[SPEAKER_02]: I really like this book.

01:23:03.345 --> 01:23:10.470
[SPEAKER_02]: This issue, you know, some big stuff happens, but a lot of it is just like the ongoing conversation that dialogue is so good.

01:23:11.030 --> 01:23:11.711
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a section

01:23:15.133 --> 01:23:32.654
[SPEAKER_02]: No no bake noodles and the bake noodles that he put into a lasagna that I thought was just clearly ripped out of reality in a great way like I think the series is a great read for some Nguari supernatural adjacent very ex files the type um fam

01:23:34.123 --> 01:23:37.827
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, I agree, some cool arts and great action.

01:23:39.288 --> 01:23:44.353
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not clear on everything that is happening, but I definitely want to keep reading it and checking out.

01:23:44.373 --> 01:23:46.275
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it is creative and unique enough.

01:23:47.108 --> 01:23:48.749
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I can't even help fill you.

01:23:48.789 --> 01:23:51.790
[SPEAKER_02]: And Lasagna is like sick of cube.

01:23:52.750 --> 01:23:54.411

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay.

01:23:55.791 --> 01:23:56.951

[SPEAKER_01]: That's a good way.

01:23:57.772 --> 01:24:02.213
[SPEAKER_01]: Was that that like jello kind of magic cube that we saw on that other blackness cube?

01:24:02.333 --> 01:24:03.274
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, similar.

01:24:52.862 --> 01:25:01.287
[SPEAKER_03]: to be characters who is clearly a bad guy is forcing all of his thoughts into the other characters head and they're all kind of breaking out a part behind him.

01:25:01.667 --> 01:25:02.667
[SPEAKER_03]: That thought was very cool.

01:25:02.908 --> 01:25:05.129
[SPEAKER_03]: I try to do that with you, but it never works.

01:25:06.410 --> 01:25:08.050
[SPEAKER_03]: We should just touch far ahead sometime.

01:25:15.693 --> 01:25:34.717
[SPEAKER_03]: This is cocoon meets ET meets Godzilla is sort of the idea here as a bunch of old Hasbit over the hill stars have encountered what first seems a giant monster and is now about their size They're trying to get the monster away from the government because they've seen a vision that if the government gets it

01:25:35.377 --> 01:25:40.642
[SPEAKER_03]: It will destroy the world and some tragic stuff goes down this issue.

[SPEAKER_03]: The arts great, the story, and characterizations are really developed on as well.

01:25:48.770 --> 01:25:50.111
[SPEAKER_03]: And this monster is weird.

01:25:50.171 --> 01:25:53.995
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a little sad, even though the numbers are clearly on the front.

01:25:54.035 --> 01:25:54.996
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess I had to look to them.

01:25:55.036 --> 01:25:59.480
[SPEAKER_03]: I was sad when it said to be concluded at the end because I'm enjoying spending time in this world.
