00:47.445 --> 00:49.466
[SPEAKER_01]: Does anyone buy this exact stack?

[SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, if you if you're listening to this and your stack is reminiscent of ours Please let us know in the comments.

[SPEAKER_01]: I would like to hear that

00:57.699 --> 01:25.582
[SPEAKER_01]: because we're going to talk comics and we're going to start with absolute Cassandra Kane the shadows and number one from DC comics written by uh... chai grace in our biometheus per jara uh... p you seem very hyped about the past uh... what's that about this is a sick issue i was really blown away by this i just thought the art was just so amazing um... uh... just uh...

01:27.039 --> 01:28.200
[SPEAKER_02]: just really cool.

01:29.221 --> 01:31.383
[SPEAKER_02]: I loved the the look, the idea.

01:31.543 --> 01:35.406
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just kind of like a water color painting and just so beautiful.

01:35.426 --> 01:39.149
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought this was such a cool first issue.

01:39.169 --> 01:43.673
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the team on this is absolutely fantastic.

01:43.833 --> 01:45.655
[SPEAKER_02]: I cannot wait for the next issue.

01:46.896 --> 01:53.041
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I didn't know I was such a Cassandra came fan until this issue, but man, this is this is schoolman.

01:53.141 --> 01:53.702
[SPEAKER_02]: I like this.

01:54.142 --> 01:54.842
[SPEAKER_02]: It's interesting.

01:54.902 --> 01:55.502
[SPEAKER_02]: It's interesting.

01:55.562 --> 01:56.643
[SPEAKER_02]: It's interesting.

01:56.663 --> 01:57.383
[SPEAKER_02]: It's interesting.

01:57.443 --> 01:59.023
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really catching on.

01:59.183 --> 02:00.164
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

02:00.404 --> 02:02.724
[SPEAKER_01]: The folks like it and we are folks.

02:02.744 --> 02:06.345
[SPEAKER_01]: What I like about this is sort of what you said.

02:06.565 --> 02:08.746
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't realize I was a Cassandra Kane fan tonight, read this.

02:09.226 --> 02:16.348
[SPEAKER_01]: This boils down the Cassandra Kane character whose backstory is, it's not that it's confusing.

02:16.448 --> 02:18.609
[SPEAKER_01]: It just was told over a long period of time.

02:18.649 --> 02:19.169
[SPEAKER_01]: She was sort of a,

02:19.698 --> 02:47.148
[SPEAKER_01]: She was introduced, I believe she was like a mysterious character, this background with no mouth hole in her cowl and we slowly found out why but then she actually couldn't talk and then she could and in this it leans a little harder and sort of does a great job of boiling down the origin to be it's hits the high points, putting it in the context of the catwoman story that she is a part of over an absolute catwoman.

02:47.968 --> 02:57.457
[SPEAKER_01]: And just rolls in like Lady Shiva, all the other characters that we've spent a lot of time getting to know in the recent background run, especially.

02:58.238 --> 03:08.467
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's, you know, absolute I feel like has just risen up as this distilling the characters down and then making more extreme versions of them.

03:08.827 --> 03:09.768
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'll tell you one.

03:10.309 --> 03:11.630
[SPEAKER_01]: That formula seems to be working.

03:12.698 --> 03:13.258
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

03:13.379 --> 03:14.339
[SPEAKER_01]: He got something there.

03:15.000 --> 03:17.281
[SPEAKER_01]: He got something there and this is a good one to check out.

03:17.821 --> 03:21.824
[SPEAKER_01]: But let's go over and talk about something that the PD is equally if not more excited about.

03:21.964 --> 03:26.847
[SPEAKER_01]: DNX number one from Marvel Comics, written by Jed McCay are by Federico.

03:27.007 --> 03:27.607
[SPEAKER_01]: And X.

03:28.048 --> 03:29.108
[SPEAKER_01]: This is Vicentini.

03:29.508 --> 03:36.573
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the first issue of a crossover perhaps an unlikely crossover between the X-Men and the Fantastic Four.

03:38.107 --> 03:41.009
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, they are dealing with the fallout.

03:41.029 --> 03:42.190
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me try to explain this.

03:42.551 --> 03:43.772
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, this is still the interesting.

03:43.992 --> 03:44.512
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.

03:44.832 --> 03:45.893
[SPEAKER_02]: Just real simple.

03:45.933 --> 03:47.414
[SPEAKER_02]: If you could just make a real simple voice.

03:47.455 --> 03:49.456
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a character named Doug Ramsey.

03:49.536 --> 03:53.339
[SPEAKER_01]: He was good at reading and being a human resource, if you can.

03:53.699 --> 03:57.823
[SPEAKER_01]: And for whatever reason, he was powered up by a couple of clips to become revelation a character who was way more power.

03:57.843 --> 03:59.244
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't actually know how his powers work.

03:59.284 --> 03:59.424
[SPEAKER_01]: But,

03:59.684 --> 04:02.747
[SPEAKER_01]: he was married to someone who was from Morocco, which is like the Mars planet.

04:02.767 --> 04:09.492
[SPEAKER_01]: But during a lot of the series of crossovers, including the cracoa event, Morocco was sort of the rivalry of the planet.

04:09.512 --> 04:13.856
[SPEAKER_01]: Mars were a bunch of different characters went and came from the more extreme, even the apocalypse ended up going there.

04:14.156 --> 04:16.218
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe that's how they became friends and he was married to this woman.

04:16.418 --> 04:17.759
[SPEAKER_01]: And of course he's got Warlock his friend.

04:17.779 --> 04:19.941
[SPEAKER_01]: They were traveling around, but he was becoming more and more extreme.

04:19.961 --> 04:22.403
[SPEAKER_01]: And he'll be got to the age of revelation where he went too far.

04:22.763 --> 04:25.985
[SPEAKER_01]: overstepped and became sort of an apocalypse figure and he was killing out of humans.

04:26.005 --> 04:32.088
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a release of a virus that was infecting humans and even turning humans into humans and killing humans and killing humans.

04:32.429 --> 04:33.889
[SPEAKER_01]: He was just devastating everyone.

04:33.929 --> 04:35.250
[SPEAKER_01]: Cyclops went forward in the future.

04:35.270 --> 04:36.071
[SPEAKER_01]: Beast went forward in the future.

04:36.091 --> 04:36.631
[SPEAKER_01]: What was a beast?

04:36.651 --> 04:37.171
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it wasn't beast.

04:37.211 --> 04:37.952
[SPEAKER_01]: It was another beast.

04:37.972 --> 04:38.512
[SPEAKER_01]: A second beast.

04:38.792 --> 04:40.633
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be considered with confused with Dark Beast.

04:40.653 --> 04:41.634
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a different beast from Asia.

04:41.654 --> 04:42.214
[SPEAKER_01]: Apocalypse.

04:42.274 --> 04:43.435
[SPEAKER_01]: Third beast named the Chairman.

04:43.755 --> 04:44.435
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not the beast.

04:44.455 --> 04:45.356
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not the Dark Beast.

04:45.376 --> 04:45.956
[SPEAKER_01]: He's the Chairman.

04:46.136 --> 04:47.097
[SPEAKER_01]: The Chairman is also the beast.

04:52.480 --> 05:19.157
[SPEAKER_01]: three k three k different x x k x k x k three k they are a terrorist group that is also trying to make what happen to age of revelation come true but they're doing it a very different way and that's where we're focusing our story right here and for some reason the fantastic for us there yeah great job first off uh I just want to back up the truck and ask you a question about this cover here uh do you think when you know maybe the writer and the artist were talking about this you know like what should we

05:20.392 --> 05:22.577
[SPEAKER_02]: And the artist was like, well, who do you want in front?

05:22.697 --> 05:25.182
[SPEAKER_02]: And they were like, well, the cyclops, but can you make them?

05:26.230 --> 05:41.818
[SPEAKER_02]: extra douchey a little bit like really if you can find a way to kind of like because there's something extra douchey about this the cyclops on this cover that makes me happy that feels like they really captured cyclops in a way that we haven't really seen before.

05:42.158 --> 05:46.401
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm a big extra douchey chin that I don't know if it's the chin or what?

05:46.421 --> 05:47.921
[SPEAKER_01]: A big cyclops defender.

05:48.202 --> 05:52.344
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm always right for cyclops but I gotta say I agree with you Pete.

05:56.595 --> 05:58.517
[SPEAKER_01]: He has too much jaw here.

05:58.597 --> 06:03.500
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how his bone, look at the distance from his end of his chin bone, to his mouth.

06:03.660 --> 06:05.682
[SPEAKER_01]: That is a strange amount of face.

06:06.002 --> 06:06.963
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a strange face.

06:07.503 --> 06:09.205
[SPEAKER_01]: He looks like Motoc with a neck.

06:09.505 --> 06:14.008
[SPEAKER_01]: And when I say neck, I'm talking about like a third Kelsey brother style.

06:14.089 --> 06:14.529
[SPEAKER_01]: No.

06:15.009 --> 06:19.533
[SPEAKER_01]: On here, this is like the capital NECK shit here.

06:20.553 --> 06:23.656
[SPEAKER_01]: The 3K is the size of Scott Summer's neck on this cover.

06:24.136 --> 06:27.717
[SPEAKER_01]: But let's look beyond the cover and oh, yeah, let's let's go inside it.

06:27.757 --> 06:30.418
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I just wanted to take a moment But thank you for that.

06:30.478 --> 06:35.660
[SPEAKER_02]: What's also just sitting inside like the second page you get the team breakdowns Which I enjoy.

06:35.720 --> 06:36.500
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, oh great.

06:36.520 --> 06:37.841
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, let me know who they are.

06:37.861 --> 06:40.522
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me know who's on team and then the fantastic four.

06:40.542 --> 06:43.783
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like Wow, this is really really really friendly like

06:45.172 --> 06:47.233
[SPEAKER_02]: Normally, you can just say the fantastic form.

06:47.253 --> 06:52.534
[SPEAKER_02]: We know you're talking about, they're really kind of like, let us know, like, who's on the fantastic form.

06:52.554 --> 06:58.536
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, oh, wow, we're really expecting some new readers with this, which is, I guess, you know, we want to include everybody.

06:58.556 --> 07:03.917
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's good, but I was just, I thought it was funny for some reason that they labeled all the fantastic form.

07:04.077 --> 07:06.438
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you passed the first couple of pages.

07:06.498 --> 07:09.999
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we'll find that, you know, we give it a good story area, you know what I mean?

07:10.019 --> 07:12.960
[SPEAKER_02]: I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

07:13.656 --> 07:16.698
[SPEAKER_02]: was one over by the last panel.

07:17.759 --> 07:25.804
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought the last panel was really cool, you know, it's too much of stretch and beast going back and forth.

07:26.284 --> 07:39.973
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, there's a lot of talking, but I was kind of one over by the last panel and then they did this thing where they kind of like teased this sick kind of like mind battle and then moved on and I was just like,

07:42.854 --> 07:51.416
[SPEAKER_02]: But that gets kind of, so I was happy about the next issue not letting that cool thread go.

07:51.536 --> 07:57.817
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I was surprised that was won over by this because I had my arms crossed and was like, interesting.

07:58.177 --> 07:58.937
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree with you.

07:59.057 --> 08:00.258
[SPEAKER_01]: I like this first issue.

08:00.278 --> 08:01.058
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was good.

08:01.498 --> 08:08.319
[SPEAKER_02]: Also did you like the fact that like, you know, read Richards was a real dick and then like a thing had to be like, hey man, listen to your wife.

08:08.439 --> 08:09.840
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, what are you doing?

08:10.100 --> 08:11.600
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I was going to highlight here.

08:11.920 --> 08:23.266
[SPEAKER_01]: because I like the plot that Magneto has been secretly poisoned essentially from the future and that is wherein the clues to maybe save the day are going to be.

08:23.646 --> 08:30.290
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a cool story idea, but the read Richards being like, hey man, fuck this guy, I'm not fixing him.

08:30.370 --> 08:35.413
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, well, he's like, I'll save his life, but I'll save Bob's not going to, I'm not going to give him his powers back.

08:35.433 --> 08:35.773
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

08:35.893 --> 08:38.074
[SPEAKER_01]: And Vista's like, they have a Magneto on their side.

08:38.094 --> 08:38.935
[SPEAKER_01]: They have a clone.

08:39.115 --> 08:42.237
[SPEAKER_01]: We need this magneto and I was like, this is a strange argument.

08:43.092 --> 08:48.115
[SPEAKER_01]: that felt like such a side quest because I'm like, they're going to give him his powers back.

08:48.135 --> 08:48.335
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

08:49.255 --> 08:58.901
[SPEAKER_01]: And then just like, it was like a little bit of a fun fur, a little bit of like, oh, we're just, we're a little dust up that we know will be resolved.

08:58.961 --> 09:03.763
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was really happy when Sue Storm comes in and is like, hey, hey, the story of it.

09:03.803 --> 09:04.164
[SPEAKER_02]: No, not.

09:04.584 --> 09:05.824
[SPEAKER_02]: And let me get this right.

09:06.465 --> 09:07.465
[SPEAKER_02]: You want to do what?

09:08.106 --> 09:09.547
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, all you know nuts.

09:09.727 --> 09:11.728
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think that's how Sue Storm walks into a meeting?

09:13.250 --> 09:17.393
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I was and she has to put up with the worst stuff.

09:17.633 --> 09:18.953
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, she's got real.

09:19.074 --> 09:27.518
[SPEAKER_01]: She's got real cranky anchors energy the MTV Puppet prank calling show from the late 90s early odds.

09:27.899 --> 09:28.079
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah

09:28.759 --> 09:30.742
[SPEAKER_01]: She's a real crank anchor so storm.

09:31.643 --> 09:40.093
[SPEAKER_01]: I am I thought this was good and let I think this segway is nicely into the next issue X-Men 37 Which takes a fragment.

09:40.574 --> 09:46.601
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I should say X-Men 37 from Marvel written by Jen McKay, Arby Anetho Diaz, the normal crew on here

09:47.302 --> 09:53.367
[SPEAKER_01]: And we are basically just diving deeper into the fight we get for a little bit to the next time.

09:53.387 --> 09:56.609
[SPEAKER_01]: Quentin Quyer, Quentin Quyer, I'm working on it, I'm doing a lot.

09:56.949 --> 10:00.252
[SPEAKER_01]: Quentin Quyer and Cassandra Nova have it.

10:00.312 --> 10:03.915
[SPEAKER_02]: So this was the real kind of meat and potatoes of those.

10:03.935 --> 10:04.735
[SPEAKER_02]: You love this.

10:05.176 --> 10:10.760
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, well, they kind of tease this, like, let's have these two kind of titans go ahead to have.

10:11.240 --> 10:15.061
[SPEAKER_02]: And the mind-scape battle, and I was like, oh, this will be great.

10:15.341 --> 10:17.922
[SPEAKER_02]: And then they walked away from that idea, and I got really upset.

10:18.322 --> 10:29.764
[SPEAKER_02]: But then I picked up this comic, I was like, I will do the next was the title of the day, and there was kind of about X-Men, but this time it's X-Men, D-A-N-X, or we're gonna have to go through a whole thing before we get to the battle.

10:29.784 --> 10:34.626
[SPEAKER_02]: But no, they started right, where we wanted them to with the mind-scape fights.

10:34.646 --> 10:38.166
[SPEAKER_02]: I immediately went from arms crossed to excited,

10:40.847 --> 11:04.314
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, what a cool idea, what a fun mind-skate battle, which, you know, could be tough in the comic book form to have a mind fight, but I thought they did such an amazing job with this, it was such a fun, warm-upmanship going on, like, oh, yeah, you think this is going on, and just really, uh, and what a kind of badass, the last card that Quinn acquired kind of through at the end there.

11:04.374 --> 11:06.435
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, really, it was great.

11:10.690 --> 11:11.971
[SPEAKER_02]: fun twists and turns.

11:12.271 --> 11:15.373
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I thought this was really good.

11:15.393 --> 11:32.464
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and broadly a great way to sort of use a crossover to really pop out this fight and make it not just like a deeper dive into it, but really just a showcase for Netho Diaz's art, which I thought crushed in this.

11:32.845 --> 11:33.225
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.

11:33.245 --> 11:34.666
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a great mindset fight.

11:34.786 --> 11:36.387
[SPEAKER_01]: It was something we see a lot.

11:38.250 --> 11:39.610
[SPEAKER_01]: real scary villain.

11:39.690 --> 11:42.911
[SPEAKER_01]: Someone who has been built up as an absolute killer.

11:43.591 --> 11:47.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Something you don't think Quentin's going to be able to beat and we get to see them really spar here.

11:47.892 --> 11:50.613
[SPEAKER_01]: They really get to meet Toyota and new one spoiler how it ends.

11:51.453 --> 11:52.853
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's it's well done.

11:53.354 --> 11:59.115
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not we're talking about how many crossovers are we talking about in this stack pd, you know, at least three.

11:59.535 --> 12:00.275
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it's four.

12:00.595 --> 12:05.096
[SPEAKER_01]: So like this is the first of four crossovers from the the two major companies.

12:05.436 --> 12:06.537
[SPEAKER_01]: They were talking about and that

12:11.118 --> 12:21.501
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to spoil my thoughts, but I'm enjoying much of what we're seeing out here in cross-paper-down.

12:22.881 --> 12:28.703
[SPEAKER_02]: It's great for comics to be able to do it in a way that doesn't make you mad.

12:29.283 --> 12:33.464
[SPEAKER_01]: It used to be that summer was more the cross over time, and it feels like we're really stretching into fall.

12:34.287 --> 12:51.881
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... but you know who else loves uh... the atominal experience it's g i jow the jow stay love a long walk in central park sipping a lot today especially in this issues from skybound image comics from my Joshua williamson are by tom Riley uh... peat you have a statement or question

12:52.101 --> 12:52.822
[SPEAKER_02]: I have a question.

12:52.842 --> 12:57.725
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I immediately saw this cover and got very excited.

12:58.145 --> 13:01.447
[SPEAKER_02]: Zartam is the fun reveal on this cover.

13:01.467 --> 13:03.749
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, as soon as it wasn't, uh, G.I.

13:03.789 --> 13:04.990
[SPEAKER_02]: Joe had, like, myself.

13:05.430 --> 13:07.431
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you, like, oh, interesting.

13:07.511 --> 13:10.974
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you, because they introduced Zartan earlier.

13:11.194 --> 13:15.457
[SPEAKER_02]: Were you able to put that together or, or, or, or, how you, yes, I like the review.

13:15.477 --> 13:17.058
[SPEAKER_01]: I first thought I think this cover is great.

13:17.318 --> 13:18.559
[SPEAKER_01]: And I like the review.

13:19.159 --> 13:19.740
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

13:20.200 --> 13:24.305
[SPEAKER_01]: This issue is a little, there's so much going on right now.

13:24.345 --> 13:24.505
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

13:24.525 --> 13:25.966
[SPEAKER_01]: This guy is.

13:26.667 --> 13:40.762
[SPEAKER_01]: So I do, I like the way it ends really, I thought it ended really strongly with some a little bit of skullduggery right at the very end, but I wanted to slow down a little bit.

13:41.901 --> 13:47.169
[SPEAKER_01]: previous issues that we were able to really focus on one thing at a time and this is just so much going.

13:47.349 --> 13:57.645
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it seems like they cranked it up, they kind of shortened the timeline that they were playing with it, because it was, I think, doing a nice job of kind of sitting in these kind of things as they were going on, but this

13:58.005 --> 14:02.948
[SPEAKER_02]: your right does feel like they kind of cranked it up a little bit because it's fast and furious in this.

14:03.569 --> 14:04.990
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's an exciting edge.

14:05.070 --> 14:06.271
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot goes down.

14:07.512 --> 14:10.794
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's a great kind of showcase of the Baroness.

14:11.134 --> 14:14.997
[SPEAKER_02]: She is one of the greatest spies in the GI Joe world.

14:15.077 --> 14:18.299
[SPEAKER_02]: So this was a fun kind of look into that.

14:18.639 --> 14:20.381
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, another great spies, Zartan.

14:20.681 --> 14:21.942
[SPEAKER_02]: And as we know, Zartan,

14:26.940 --> 14:27.640
[SPEAKER_02]: That's going to be hard.

14:27.660 --> 14:28.121
[SPEAKER_01]: He can't do sun.

14:28.421 --> 14:29.981
[SPEAKER_02]: He can't do sun.

14:30.041 --> 14:31.542
[SPEAKER_02]: Such a hilarious week.

14:31.562 --> 14:32.322
[SPEAKER_02]: That's all.

14:32.983 --> 14:35.684
[SPEAKER_01]: He can't do any sun.

14:35.704 --> 14:36.344
[SPEAKER_02]: What does he do?

14:36.364 --> 14:39.326
[SPEAKER_02]: His skin starts to turn colors.

14:39.346 --> 14:41.247
[SPEAKER_02]: He gets, like, kind of runs away.

14:41.287 --> 14:42.567
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a fun.

14:42.587 --> 14:44.348
[SPEAKER_01]: He hasn't cracked the skin for me.

14:44.368 --> 14:47.069
[SPEAKER_01]: Because the skin looks, he's able to fool everyone.

14:47.249 --> 14:48.410
[SPEAKER_02]: Got a little bit of sun.

14:48.910 --> 14:49.170
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.

14:49.190 --> 14:50.951
[SPEAKER_02]: It just can't get about side things in trouble.

14:50.991 --> 14:52.292
[SPEAKER_02]: You love some office setting.

14:52.712 --> 14:53.372
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it the heat?

14:53.812 --> 14:54.873
[SPEAKER_01]: Or is it just like,

14:56.204 --> 15:00.648
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, he's kind of like this chameleon and this son kind of hurts his skin, you know what I mean?

15:00.668 --> 15:02.149
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's got sensitive skin.

15:02.729 --> 15:07.033
[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, but he's not, he's putting like a skin, he's putting a mask.

15:07.213 --> 15:07.533
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

15:07.554 --> 15:08.214
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

15:09.135 --> 15:11.557
[SPEAKER_01]: He just is the main mask printer is bad.

15:12.249 --> 15:16.413
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, he needs a fake face to survive in the outside of the world.

15:16.433 --> 15:20.897
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going down to Halloween adventure and buying a whole big time, like every year.

15:20.957 --> 15:22.899
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I mean, because he needs it for protection.

15:22.999 --> 15:25.361
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'll tell you, you have that rubber against your skin.

15:25.481 --> 15:26.663
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to lead for rash.

15:26.883 --> 15:28.444
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the sun hits it no wonder.

15:28.564 --> 15:31.147
[SPEAKER_01]: It's probably just stinks, probably just stinks.

15:32.654 --> 15:33.235
[SPEAKER_01]: but go Joe.

15:33.835 --> 15:42.643
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean this is just for me the nostalgia factor is high and this is just such a fun kind of fast-paced action forward dish.

15:43.504 --> 15:43.924
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go.

15:44.385 --> 15:53.113
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll let's talk absolutely green area number five huge issue from DC Comics, where my point's like, uh, Peach is showed and art by Raphael Alba Curkey, the Curkeys.

15:53.233 --> 15:53.914
[SPEAKER_01]: The Curkey?

15:55.098 --> 16:02.711
[SPEAKER_01]: This big reveal, we have here, or at least part of a reveal, the beginnings of a reveal.

16:02.731 --> 16:04.073
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's one part.

16:05.019 --> 16:30.997
[SPEAKER_01]: As Absolute Green Arrow and Dinalance from the Absolute Universe have been trapped, they've been kidnapped by a Solomon Grundy that is fucked up, I've been really loving this series, how it is literally ripping corporate intrigue from the headlines and putting that into the Absolute Universe and saying this is the worst possible situation, but it is our reality.

16:31.557 --> 16:36.579
[SPEAKER_01]: and throwing a murderous green arrow and dinollants trying to solve the mystery.

16:36.619 --> 16:37.940
[SPEAKER_01]: We do get the reveal here.

16:38.920 --> 16:43.903
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if we should spoil it, but there should be my second mystery setup.

16:43.963 --> 16:50.426
[SPEAKER_02]: We spoil, you know, I'm the stack room and spoil things, but yeah, they do a good job of like, it's a two-part reveal.

16:50.466 --> 16:52.447
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't get all the answers in this ish.

16:53.027 --> 16:56.670
[SPEAKER_02]: but you get some that kind of gets you excited for more.

16:57.250 --> 17:00.333
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, amazing cover.

17:00.573 --> 17:10.440
[SPEAKER_02]: Roughly all, Abler Kirke, one of the greatest artists working today, just such a great job in this comic, just really impressive cool.

17:10.921 --> 17:16.765
[SPEAKER_02]: Look to the art, we get like an unmasking, which is a lot of fun, and then also just kind of a more

17:17.991 --> 17:44.891
[SPEAKER_02]: in depth cliffhanger with who's who so yeah very cool as you see part of the mask in the cover here yeah i mean what's great is they kind of talk about green arrow and he's not really in this so someone is not happy with green arrow right now this is a perfect issue for me so yeah i had an absolute blast with this great action fantastic art as a solid how do you feel about green arrow firing

17:47.134 --> 17:48.555
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to don't next level.

17:48.815 --> 17:51.856
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, if you don't have hands, you know, you got to do what you got to do.

17:51.876 --> 17:55.158
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, can you train for that?

17:55.778 --> 17:56.699
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you train for that?

17:57.399 --> 18:02.541
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess, like anything else, you got to train, you know, you lose the hand, you got to learn to do it, other ways, you know?

18:02.902 --> 18:05.663
[SPEAKER_01]: Have you been training to podcast exclusively with your mouth?

18:06.743 --> 18:07.544
[SPEAKER_01]: To bring it on home?

18:07.924 --> 18:10.265
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess in a way, we have, yeah.

18:11.426 --> 18:14.067
[SPEAKER_01]: You're using your tongue to press go on the recording.

18:15.102 --> 18:17.382
[SPEAKER_01]: If I have to say, well, that's the spirit.

18:17.662 --> 18:19.023
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the answer I was looking for.

18:19.363 --> 18:29.104
[SPEAKER_01]: And perhaps the answer you're looking for, for all of your Avengers Armageddon needs, is Avengers Armageddon number four from Marvel Comics or by Chips and Arski Art by Dileo Diaz and Frank Alpazar.

18:29.484 --> 18:31.905
[SPEAKER_01]: You could talk the green arrow real was big.

18:31.925 --> 18:37.526
[SPEAKER_01]: We got another big reveal in this issue that has been somewhat lighting up.

18:38.726 --> 18:43.707
[SPEAKER_01]: As it was leaked recently, Pete, how did you feel about this?

18:44.870 --> 18:46.071
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is crazy.

18:46.151 --> 18:50.293
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, first off, you got a cool cover where we get, uh, Hulk being choked out.

18:51.133 --> 18:53.034
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, you know, we got the red hall care.

18:53.134 --> 19:00.998
[SPEAKER_02]: So, uh, yeah, this is, uh, this, um, you know, we get an interesting reveal.

19:01.078 --> 19:11.083
[SPEAKER_02]: Not, uh, I don't, you know, I don't want to spoil anything, but whatever, uh, art is in, uh, intensive, cool way, um, but, uh,

19:13.187 --> 19:16.968
[SPEAKER_02]: We've got some real big explosions in this issue.

19:18.029 --> 19:23.651
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think we can reveal this one because it has been pretty out there in the press.

19:24.031 --> 19:31.413
[SPEAKER_01]: We will spoil the power set that Colson David Colson has been taking on here.

19:31.593 --> 19:37.755
[SPEAKER_01]: David Colton has been taking on here from the origin box from the ultimate universe.

19:37.775 --> 19:39.036
[SPEAKER_01]: It is Miracle Man.

19:40.276 --> 19:41.337
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

19:43.665 --> 19:45.826
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I know who that is.

19:46.827 --> 19:53.550
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this famously a character that was, there's some Neil Gaiman mixed up in this.

19:53.670 --> 19:57.912
[SPEAKER_01]: There's, there's, there's lawsuits mixed up in this.

19:58.372 --> 20:09.618
[SPEAKER_01]: Recently, we got more miracle man coming out from Marvel Comics, and then this reveal, like we had, most everyone had assumed it was century, I think we had talked about that as well.

20:10.363 --> 20:14.367
[SPEAKER_01]: This was definitely a surprise and honestly, I didn't enjoy this issue.

20:15.107 --> 20:20.412
[SPEAKER_01]: It's crystallized and a lot of the sort of smaller ideas here.

20:20.472 --> 20:27.239
[SPEAKER_01]: The R on the Red Hulk is so good like he's like bursting with gamma energy and flames.

20:27.259 --> 20:31.803
[SPEAKER_01]: He's gone and become a Russian asset over the course of the

20:32.368 --> 20:32.988
[SPEAKER_01]: this series.

20:33.028 --> 20:34.749
[SPEAKER_01]: So all that is cool.

20:34.789 --> 20:35.369
[SPEAKER_01]: It's well done.

20:35.809 --> 20:37.329
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious what the take away.

20:37.730 --> 20:42.831
[SPEAKER_01]: We're getting a lot of like this is going to change everything forever for for the Avengers.

20:42.891 --> 20:45.972
[SPEAKER_01]: And we are getting a new team of characters after this.

20:46.032 --> 20:47.753
[SPEAKER_01]: So it definitely will be different.

20:47.773 --> 20:53.714
[SPEAKER_01]: But I wonder what miracle man really being in this marvel universe is going to be.

20:54.795 --> 20:55.035
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

20:56.495 --> 20:57.115
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you think?

20:57.495 --> 20:58.216
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know man.

20:58.456 --> 20:59.056
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not like.

21:00.540 --> 21:28.611
[SPEAKER_02]: sick miracle man yeah I mean some like how is it's gonna go you know can we legally play with this toy or what's going on so the the reveal wasn't I where I wanted to be but also I have in my notes this can be right or read Richards was also being a dick to sue in this issue is that is that true to happen again or am I mixing up my notes here

21:29.300 --> 21:33.021
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I mean, I don't think, I guess you could, you see that a lot of different places.

21:33.581 --> 21:33.821
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

21:33.841 --> 21:43.903
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, there's a nice sequence of, like, the Nuke's being launched at American cities and every, the different Avengers teams have to stop them.

21:44.743 --> 21:46.343
[SPEAKER_01]: And the fantastic four are doing it.

21:46.503 --> 21:52.665
[SPEAKER_01]: And the missiles equipped with anti-suced storm technology, then she has to sus out and solve.

21:53.045 --> 21:54.725
[SPEAKER_01]: And Reed is trying to say, don't do that.

21:55.264 --> 21:58.091
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't appreciate this, you know what I mean?

21:58.231 --> 22:00.798
[SPEAKER_02]: How much can sue put up with, you know what I mean?

22:01.373 --> 22:08.259
[SPEAKER_01]: In the same way, I mean, you're a huge fan of Marvel, marriage is staying together, but are you pushing for a read-su divorce?

22:08.539 --> 22:12.862
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I just want read to appreciate what he has and start treating or some goddamn respect.

22:12.882 --> 22:14.844
[SPEAKER_02]: That's all it doesn't seem like it's too much to ask.

22:14.984 --> 22:17.286
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but do you feel like we don't see their home life?

22:17.566 --> 22:18.587
[SPEAKER_01]: We see them on the job.

22:18.607 --> 22:23.391
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I don't like what I see, so I worry about what's going on, you know what I mean?

22:23.431 --> 22:25.893
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, what do you want them to be just stopping and kissing and stuff, man?

22:26.273 --> 22:50.573
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I just want, you know, it's just a set of stuff and read to shut the fuck up and listen, you know what I mean and actually hear what she's saying and said he's always like, I don't know my plan, you know, I'm the genius, you know what I mean and then she saves the day anyway and it's like man's, you know, maybe that's something that sort of it's part of their marriage it's like a little, you know, that keeps a goal and keeps it fresh.

22:50.913 --> 22:55.257
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I like how much of an asshole he is to me, something.

22:56.493 --> 23:21.491
[SPEAKER_01]: there's something there but all right let's shake it up and shake it down with the big shake down number one from Dark Horse Comics or in by Jordan Blum and Tim Seely are by Scott Koblish what a time we had just last night talking with Jordan and Scott about this book on our live show definitely check that out if you want to hear more about how they are inspired by L.A. itself to write this story

23:22.492 --> 23:23.292
[SPEAKER_01]: And they live on.

23:23.372 --> 23:24.012
[SPEAKER_02]: So they know.

23:24.833 --> 23:25.213
[SPEAKER_02]: So they know.

23:25.233 --> 23:38.535
[SPEAKER_01]: This story, this comic is about the big earthquake that has been sort of predicted on the San Andreas fault for decades, finally comes to California, wrecks everything, the US government doesn't help.

23:38.555 --> 23:41.836
[SPEAKER_01]: So California has to go on living in the wreckage.

23:42.556 --> 23:43.916
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's the setting.

23:44.156 --> 23:46.517
[SPEAKER_01]: That sounds like the premise, but it really is just the setting.

23:53.258 --> 23:54.479
[SPEAKER_01]: Solving, she's revealing.

23:54.499 --> 23:55.819
[SPEAKER_01]: She's a hero for her.

23:56.239 --> 23:57.900
[SPEAKER_01]: She's a, yeah, she's a tracker.

23:58.400 --> 23:59.800
[SPEAKER_01]: Actually, P, did you know that?

24:00.100 --> 24:01.321
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is a tracker.

24:02.841 --> 24:17.165
[SPEAKER_01]: And she's, she has a mystery around her that she, we're going to find out over the course of the four of your series, but we also get her sort of taking a case that she doesn't want to take and then a wild visual reveal at the end of the first issue.

24:17.740 --> 24:32.348
[SPEAKER_02]: yeah yeah this is awesome artistically it's you know it's it's heartbreaking you don't want this to happen but it's kind of a cool exploration of you don't want the earthquake to happen yeah i don't want it to California to get in trouble like you're in charge

24:34.346 --> 24:36.327
[SPEAKER_01]: No, that's a that big lever behind you is.

24:36.508 --> 24:40.751
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, I'm not going to pull that, don't worry, California, I'll never pull that.

24:41.451 --> 24:43.833
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, but yeah, I just think of it's lever.

24:44.393 --> 24:54.981
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh boy, um, yeah, I just think that this is, you know, kind of a messed up subject matter but dealt with in a kind of an interesting way, and a fun story in all this madness.

24:55.001 --> 24:59.825
[SPEAKER_02]: This character will be immediately kind of connect with this character in such an interesting way.

25:01.126 --> 25:05.409
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, she decides to help the student find his daughter, which is very sweet and all this madness.

25:05.469 --> 25:07.811
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, how can she do that and all this chaos?

25:07.851 --> 25:08.692
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to find out.

25:09.472 --> 25:15.917
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's a really great setup and the art really delivers and you know, plus you get a map right on the cover.

25:16.017 --> 25:16.858
[SPEAKER_02]: I love a guy.

25:17.078 --> 25:18.039
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't you love a map?

25:18.319 --> 25:18.600
[SPEAKER_02]: I do.

25:18.620 --> 25:19.560
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a subtle map.

25:20.281 --> 25:20.561
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

25:21.362 --> 25:21.902
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you love a map?

25:21.922 --> 25:23.023
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you use maps?

25:23.483 --> 25:25.485
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you use paper maps in your travels team?

25:26.023 --> 25:38.806
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, back in the day before the gooks I did, but you know, the gooks, yeah, yeah, there was that what was that LA kind of like big kind of like had all the streets, you know, and it's kind of like he's talking about a map.

25:39.566 --> 25:49.369
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, it was this very specific map that they made for a lake because when I was living there and driving back to the stars, no, not what's that, but, you know,

25:49.728 --> 25:50.609
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was a thing.

25:50.949 --> 25:53.592
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyways, uh, you're talking about L.A. map.

25:54.052 --> 25:55.573
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, no, I really enjoyed this book.

25:55.894 --> 25:57.115
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, we talked about it a lot.

25:57.615 --> 26:08.505
[SPEAKER_01]: The fun read, it's great that they establish the premise and then just move into a character driven story that uses the an earthquake ravage L.A. is a backdrop.

26:09.472 --> 26:19.574
[SPEAKER_01]: I just love also that the universe the world already feels super lived in right out of the gate in the first issue Well done Scott's art is excellent Definite pick that up.

26:19.874 --> 26:27.056
[SPEAKER_02]: Why I think the question that this count brings up though is if L.A. goes under what's a one restaurant that you hope is saved?

26:27.096 --> 26:30.096
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean what's what if you can only save one L.A. restaurant.

26:30.136 --> 26:32.977
[SPEAKER_02]: What are you saving?

26:32.997 --> 26:35.238
[SPEAKER_02]: You're going in and out like where where are you?

26:35.538 --> 26:36.978
[SPEAKER_02]: They are a lot of those

26:38.812 --> 26:40.373
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't think we need all of you.

26:40.393 --> 26:43.375
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't know, okay, all right, all right.

26:43.555 --> 26:46.377
[SPEAKER_01]: What about, I would say, moose on Franks, the steak house.

26:46.677 --> 26:49.099
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, look at you, fancy, all right.

26:49.139 --> 26:51.120
[SPEAKER_02]: Little high end.

26:51.140 --> 26:52.841
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, another beautiful rich people.

26:52.882 --> 26:53.482
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, all right.

26:53.702 --> 26:56.304
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's a cool old school, old Hollywood.

26:58.285 --> 27:05.590
[SPEAKER_01]: What is, try to say, well, I've, the UCB theater place, I go to a lot of the first, right next door there.

27:09.541 --> 27:11.298
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, obviously all the Scientology Buildings.

27:13.502 --> 27:14.382
[SPEAKER_01]: if you want to save those.

27:14.422 --> 27:14.882
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.

27:15.282 --> 27:16.023
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.

27:16.283 --> 27:16.763
[SPEAKER_02]: That's fair.

27:16.963 --> 27:19.623
[SPEAKER_02]: That's, I mean, that's very LA of you.

27:20.243 --> 27:20.463
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

27:20.503 --> 27:21.804
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, there's there here, too.

27:22.644 --> 27:28.665
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about exquisite corpses, the Fox mask killer number one.

27:28.705 --> 27:32.546
[SPEAKER_01]: This is, of course, from where did I put the notes?

27:32.886 --> 27:33.286
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

27:33.326 --> 27:34.606
[SPEAKER_01]: This is where are they?

27:34.646 --> 27:38.787
[SPEAKER_01]: This is from Tiny Onion Image Comics, where by Jay Grayson, are by Adam Goreham.

27:40.214 --> 27:47.778
[SPEAKER_01]: of spinning out of the exquisite corpse main exquisite corpse's main story, which is, you know, it's not over.

27:47.818 --> 27:48.919
[SPEAKER_01]: It's on a little bit of a break.

27:48.939 --> 27:51.680
[SPEAKER_01]: We're bridging the gap with some standalone books.

27:51.700 --> 27:55.702
[SPEAKER_01]: We had a two-issue series that just finished Fox Mass Killer.

27:55.722 --> 28:00.104
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe is a one-shot in the name of we have one more coming after this peat.

28:00.725 --> 28:05.047
[SPEAKER_01]: How, how do you like these expanding expanded the universe issues?

28:06.365 --> 28:33.109
[SPEAKER_02]: well not all all the time do I like them but here I do I thought this was very cool I thought this was a nice kind of drill down and focus on this kind of badass killer that we get here you know we find out she's pregnant she makes some hard choices and you know decides to murder her way out to save her baby and I for one tip my hand say you know good for you lady you know you mean like I don't think that was a good environment to raise your child and

28:33.936 --> 28:43.842
[SPEAKER_02]: not sure about that due to his father, but yeah, she, uh, this is very cool, arts, really, and this is very fast moving and high pace.

28:43.882 --> 28:51.027
[SPEAKER_02]: So I thought this was very kind of unique and cool and an interesting character to drill down on and to focus on for a little bit.

28:51.047 --> 28:51.927
[SPEAKER_02]: So I love this.

28:52.628 --> 28:59.972
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a, it's a story well told, um, it's narrated to the unborn child that is revealed halfway through the story.

29:00.012 --> 29:00.773
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that was cool.

29:01.788 --> 29:11.852
[SPEAKER_01]: a nice art really gets you it brings the character right up to the the way we meet the character in the exquisite corpses story so that was cool.

29:13.012 --> 29:21.716
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah I've been enjoying these I like this model of telling a big expansive first art giving us a little bit of story that is not just

29:22.596 --> 29:25.958
[SPEAKER_01]: filling in the gap or a prequel or a sequel.

29:26.018 --> 29:27.599
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just different for each character.

29:28.420 --> 29:42.209
[SPEAKER_01]: We are read the Rascal Randy issues that we're really cool and then we have Lone Gunman coming from Pornstack, Pisa Chay, Pisa showed so like someone right or we really like so that'll be really cool to see that.

29:43.410 --> 29:43.770
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll be

29:45.118 --> 29:46.039
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk Spidey.

29:46.339 --> 29:47.100
[SPEAKER_01]: Spider-Man.

29:47.200 --> 29:52.025
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, the long way home number three from Marvel in my John of the Eggman are by Adam Cuber.

29:53.587 --> 29:55.408
[SPEAKER_01]: He had a feeling you like this, you know, why?

29:55.488 --> 30:04.077
[SPEAKER_01]: Because it's a lot of just big bang bang arcs being fired off from Adam Cuber that is a great artist.

30:04.737 --> 30:06.177
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is awesome.

30:06.938 --> 30:10.238
[SPEAKER_02]: I titled this one fun with traps.

30:10.298 --> 30:12.159
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, Punisher sets out a trap first.

30:12.179 --> 30:15.120
[SPEAKER_02]: He catches a spider and you're like, Oh, that's not what I was trying to do.

30:15.880 --> 30:20.121
[SPEAKER_02]: But then he catches the Hulk and oh boy, it's on now.

30:20.141 --> 30:22.101
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so this is a blast.

30:22.121 --> 30:23.882
[SPEAKER_02]: This is just the ton of action.

30:23.902 --> 30:27.703
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, this is the great art.

30:29.178 --> 30:35.020
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I thought this was just a kind of a fun idea and while executed, a kind of a cool issue.

30:36.040 --> 30:43.923
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's, you know, this featuring the characters that were in the Spider-Man movie that was such a big hit.

30:44.643 --> 30:50.445
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, but also featuring like some deeper continuity things like the cosmic cube in here.

30:50.645 --> 30:54.767
[SPEAKER_01]: The characters that night none of them would you expect to be focusing on

30:58.308 --> 31:00.009
[SPEAKER_01]: This is really just an art showcase.

31:00.029 --> 31:01.851
[SPEAKER_01]: There's just a massive fight.

31:02.051 --> 31:04.272
[SPEAKER_01]: There's the panels are huge in this.

31:04.393 --> 31:06.734
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a ton of light on the old words.

31:10.199 --> 31:11.821
[SPEAKER_01]: And it ends in an interesting place.

31:11.981 --> 31:14.603
[SPEAKER_01]: It feels like a lot of Hickman's Marvel work lately.

31:14.643 --> 31:39.002
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just him like jamming feels Yeah, he's just Jason stuff that he wants to do here that he did that Wolverine book that was sort of set in a slightly separate continuity where a colossus is the bad guy That was interesting this book interesting, you know, it's you never quite know what that guy's up to and then he's has the X-Men midnight coming here pretty soon so

31:40.064 --> 32:02.599
[SPEAKER_01]: lots going on let's talk let's move into our bad seeds block yeah let's get into this block this event man come on bad seeds event marvel or DC event number two of four that we are talking about here this set in a world we have four issues this week that our bad seeds

32:04.020 --> 32:13.067
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is a poison ivy, the current mayor of Gotham City has decided to let loose because of a deal she made with the urine.

32:13.347 --> 32:20.192
[SPEAKER_01]: A thing she did to make the parliament of trees mad, she had to make a deal with them where they're basically taking over Gotham City.

32:20.412 --> 32:28.138
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's gotten out of control, there's big ass plants growing every which way that are like eating people in the case of these issues.

32:28.758 --> 32:33.941
[SPEAKER_01]: making them go crazy through the esports in a lot of different ways.

32:34.782 --> 32:37.904
[SPEAKER_01]: I gotta say, I feel like this crossover is crushing it.

32:38.004 --> 32:55.075
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like I like each of these books, four books in this week of the event, and all of them did a great job of focusing on the main character, while also telling an important part of the story, being scary, interesting, very being very different from each other.

32:58.817 --> 32:59.617
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I agree.

32:59.657 --> 33:01.538
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this is such a great idea.

33:01.618 --> 33:02.639
[SPEAKER_02]: So well executed.

33:03.299 --> 33:10.723
[SPEAKER_02]: If something is happening in Gotham, I want to know how it's affecting each of our Gotham heroes in different ways.

33:11.103 --> 33:11.783
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?

33:11.803 --> 33:14.705
[SPEAKER_02]: Like what's not doing in a blood haven?

33:14.765 --> 33:16.305
[SPEAKER_02]: Like what is going on over here?

33:16.385 --> 33:17.166
[SPEAKER_02]: What is Batman?

33:17.246 --> 33:18.646
[SPEAKER_02]: What about woman doing?

33:19.387 --> 33:20.547
[SPEAKER_02]: This is so cool.

33:20.808 --> 33:21.628
[SPEAKER_02]: So well done.

33:22.108 --> 33:24.509
[SPEAKER_02]: It works really well for the story.

33:26.150 --> 33:50.416
[SPEAKER_01]: huge ideas so I like the fact that we're checking in with all the bad family on this and yeah for soft cool cover um and yeah just talk about batwoman number seven um that woman coming in hard from her trip she's been in Europe dealing with her sister and all of that but she happens to come home right as the as poison ivy's plans are taking over and boy she thrown into it

33:53.537 --> 33:53.918
[SPEAKER_00]: in this.

33:54.318 --> 33:58.203
[SPEAKER_01]: I should say, so this is that one number seven from DC written by Greg Raka, are by Danny.

33:58.844 --> 34:00.165
[SPEAKER_01]: So excellent.

34:00.526 --> 34:02.087
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, the, I've loved it.

34:02.648 --> 34:10.938
[SPEAKER_01]: All of the art throughout the series so far, but this, it's really adding a nice tone to the crossover because it is so dark and melancholy.

34:11.158 --> 34:12.640
[SPEAKER_01]: Almost might mean you'll ask.

34:12.955 --> 34:38.904
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and it's just such a fun kind of like we get to kind of sit in on these kind of like huddles words like that one is back and she's like because of that man like let me guess boys and I be and it's just like this fun short-hand words like these guys you know this is this is cool we're getting to see how they talk to each other like this so yeah it's such a cool setup so well executed the arts fantastic and yeah this is Batman's kind of

34:39.464 --> 34:41.345
[SPEAKER_02]: what she's doing and all this madness.

34:41.365 --> 34:43.046
[SPEAKER_02]: So really enjoyed it.

34:43.826 --> 34:54.831
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go to week two part two, which is Detective Comics number 1113, run by Tom Taylor and Dan Waters are by Jeff Spokes and Scott Hepburn.

34:55.272 --> 34:59.514
[SPEAKER_01]: We do have two stories here, but the first one takes up most of the air.

34:59.634 --> 35:02.095
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Batman versus Vandal Savage.

35:02.155 --> 35:08.118
[SPEAKER_01]: He's decided he's going to release some herbicide that is going to kill the plants and a lot of people.

35:08.658 --> 35:12.862
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so Batman has a thing about spraying poison all over the place.

35:12.882 --> 35:17.446
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you can't just pick and choose who's gonna die It's it's everybody comes in contact.

35:17.486 --> 35:28.215
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, and first off cool cover the fun on top of a It will not a hot air balloon, but like a blimp situation and we have this ticking time bomb of like

35:28.635 --> 35:43.398
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, these three separate kind of pesticide balloons are going to kind of a spray Gotham and what's that going to mean and Batman trying to race against time to stop all three of these kind of poison blimps if you will.

35:43.498 --> 35:53.819
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, this is just kind of it seems like a Joker idea gone bad type of thing here with the savage, but yeah, I thought this was amazing,

35:57.060 --> 35:57.941
[SPEAKER_02]: a ton of action.

35:57.961 --> 36:06.790
[SPEAKER_02]: I just said out loud to myself as I flipped the last page and closed the book was like I'm a great time with this event.

36:06.810 --> 36:07.410
[SPEAKER_02]: This is so good.

36:07.430 --> 36:07.590
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

36:08.272 --> 36:11.954
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's such a nice, high-octane, fast-paced story here.

36:12.494 --> 36:18.278
[SPEAKER_01]: I really enjoying Alfred's niece or a dad or a daughter.

36:18.298 --> 36:22.841
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry, daughter, I think, actually who is become an indispensable part.

[SPEAKER_01]: She's the one doing the toxic testing on the herbicide, back in Pendingworth, Manor.

36:29.004 --> 36:32.166
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, important stuff that needs to be done, you know what I mean?

36:32.186 --> 36:33.967
[SPEAKER_01]: It's about lyrical disability.

36:34.387 --> 36:35.588
[SPEAKER_01]: It's about lyrical disability.

36:37.702 --> 36:39.584
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't I don't I don't I don't like that to him.

36:39.644 --> 36:44.107
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if I'm not saying I'm being Let's give a compliment.

36:44.127 --> 36:47.390
[SPEAKER_02]: You're not the attack Alfred already is dead all right.

36:47.430 --> 36:48.551
[SPEAKER_01]: Alfred's not even a part of this.

36:48.591 --> 36:53.915
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm just I was just saying in relation To make fights with people.

36:54.135 --> 36:55.036
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a fight.

36:56.177 --> 36:59.579
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a fight at all Oh, it's not it's his niece.

37:00.260 --> 37:00.560
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

37:00.580 --> 37:06.365
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm pretty sure Because he does have a daughter and that's Julia Yeah

37:07.530 --> 37:10.951
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is a different, this is Daphne, I believe.

37:12.731 --> 37:13.871
[SPEAKER_01]: No, sorry, Farrity.

37:14.011 --> 37:18.312
[SPEAKER_01]: There is another daughter named Daphne, but this is Farrity Pennyworth.

37:18.332 --> 37:19.612
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I want to get it right.

37:19.932 --> 37:22.513
[SPEAKER_02]: I area, I area, you're just confused me in the process.

37:22.573 --> 37:23.773
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, Daphne, what are we?

37:23.793 --> 37:27.893
[SPEAKER_02]: The fucking Scooby-Doo, you know, squat over here with the fuck's going on?

37:28.454 --> 37:29.914
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's she's the old school.

37:30.374 --> 37:32.254
[SPEAKER_01]: This is his great niece, Farrity.

37:32.434 --> 37:35.375
[SPEAKER_01]: Daphne is his niece introduced back in the 70s,

37:38.158 --> 37:39.879
[SPEAKER_01]: Alfred's got a lot of he's been around for a long time.

37:39.899 --> 37:45.080
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, he's got a little Moscow on the old Roland stone here, but yeah, Varity.

37:45.180 --> 37:46.780
[SPEAKER_01]: I like her addition to the bad family.

37:46.840 --> 37:57.443
[SPEAKER_01]: I think she's very good Let's talk had Another angle on this is number 91 Written by Torne Grondbeck, art by Danilo Bayruth

37:58.517 --> 38:01.623
[SPEAKER_01]: Catwoman has her own mission.

38:01.663 --> 38:03.026
[SPEAKER_01]: She's checking in with her friends.

38:03.687 --> 38:05.811
[SPEAKER_01]: She's, she's friends with Ivy.

38:06.031 --> 38:08.175
[SPEAKER_01]: So you can sort of see it in the way this is told.

38:08.195 --> 38:10.179
[SPEAKER_01]: That's like, she's a little bit like, oh, Ivy.

38:11.041 --> 38:35.961
[SPEAKER_02]: classic yeah but you know catwoman is you know doing what catwoman you would think would do like in all of this chaos she's like well I could pull some jobs so I know but he's looking and I'm like oh catwoman come on you know let me come on you know try to help out and she does on the way to rock people she does stop and try to help which I think is very nice of her but yeah I thought this was another great issue

38:38.190 --> 38:42.897
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, maybe Catwoman acts as only creates a supervillain by the end of the issue.

38:43.017 --> 38:54.273
[SPEAKER_02]: But, this is still a lot of fun and very cool and, you know, it's kind of nice to see what Catwoman's up to with all this madness going on and unfortunately she's up to what you think she's up to, you know.

38:54.413 --> 38:56.955
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, well, like about this in the progression.

38:57.015 --> 38:59.356
[SPEAKER_01]: So in over the course of this, she's out here.

38:59.416 --> 39:07.961
[SPEAKER_01]: She gets, she's trying to help people, trying to find a friend gets caught up with this rich dude who's being an asshole to his classic, essentially.

39:08.282 --> 39:14.085
[SPEAKER_01]: And we get introduced the idea that there are spores in the air that are making people go crazy.

39:14.105 --> 39:16.247
[SPEAKER_01]: And she's fighting this rich dick.

39:17.467 --> 39:17.848
[SPEAKER_01]: at the end.

39:17.888 --> 39:39.178
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I thought that was a great way to sort of move us into this next phase because it really comes to play in the last issue from the Crop Bad Seeds this week, night we number 142 and my Dan Waters, Arby David Lappham, where the really upsetting story in this issue, where we start on a sport flying through the air.

39:39.258 --> 39:40.999
[SPEAKER_01]: It's called the title of

39:43.410 --> 40:07.537
[SPEAKER_01]: This was just a great stand-alone story, despite the fact that it's in the midst of this crossover, but a spore goes into a kids I think he takes the spore into his body It caused him to go a little mad, he gets knocked out of his window, falls to his death, which pushes his father to steal some explosive and drive them to Gotham to blow up a building

40:08.941 --> 40:16.669
[SPEAKER_01]: and it's great premise, upsetting nightwing has to chase him and also sort of talk him down over the course of it.

40:18.170 --> 40:22.654
[SPEAKER_01]: The art has a sort of noari vibe to it, which I think really works.

40:23.495 --> 40:25.397
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a great issue.

40:25.537 --> 40:27.980
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just sorry, I'm just saying how great it was.

40:28.160 --> 40:28.320
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

40:29.227 --> 40:32.770
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is a really kind of cool messed up in a lot of ways.

40:33.310 --> 40:41.637
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, what's interesting is we're kind of talking about the progression in these different stories taking place in this kind of arc.

40:42.178 --> 40:48.403
[SPEAKER_02]: Is the arc is also getting kind of like scarier and scarier with each story like this arc is a little different.

40:48.423 --> 40:50.465
[SPEAKER_02]: There's something a little off-center about it.

40:50.485 --> 40:51.526
[SPEAKER_02]: Like if you look at the cover

40:52.046 --> 40:54.267
[SPEAKER_02]: Like night when you face you're like oh shit.

40:54.387 --> 40:55.368
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going down.

40:55.448 --> 41:08.315
[SPEAKER_02]: It's getting more and more crazy and serious as we're going So I think also what's cool is the art as heightening as we're going, which is kind of unique and cool But yeah, man a crazy last panel.

41:08.695 --> 41:14.479
[SPEAKER_02]: This is tense and cool and fun, but man She's going down now.

41:14.559 --> 41:16.320
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's getting cranked up.

41:16.360 --> 41:19.782
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, it's uh, you know It's it's

41:20.823 --> 41:21.844
[SPEAKER_02]: It's really kind of cool.

41:22.564 --> 41:23.364
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going down.

41:23.484 --> 41:24.325
[SPEAKER_01]: It's cranking up.

41:24.605 --> 41:28.307
[SPEAKER_01]: Definitely check out this run of bad seeds issues is excellent.

41:28.747 --> 41:32.249
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's move on to a comic that P is going to be hyped about.

41:32.629 --> 41:37.712
[SPEAKER_01]: OFU's number one from Image Comics by a Gil March.

41:37.912 --> 41:44.516
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the first issue of comic that it's hard to tell actually what's happening in here.

41:47.446 --> 41:56.935
[SPEAKER_01]: In the first issue, we focused on a guy coming to OFU, so which we learned in the beginning, stands for Snake Island.

41:58.596 --> 42:02.240
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a guy, and he's talking to this woman who lives there at her shop.

42:02.780 --> 42:06.304
[SPEAKER_01]: He's sort of like, oogling, ogling her a little bit.

42:06.904 --> 42:10.948
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we cut to a corporate situation with

42:12.429 --> 42:27.558
[SPEAKER_01]: a guy who looks different, but maybe is the same guy older, we don't quite know, but another similar guy who's watching a coworker this woman given a presentation and then we get into there's a lot of new to be in this to say.

42:27.778 --> 42:29.219
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't read this in public.

42:30.520 --> 42:34.382
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, unless you're reading it in like a new beach.

42:36.684 --> 42:37.004
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

42:37.724 --> 42:38.705
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I mean, that's fine.

42:39.083 --> 42:39.944
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah.

42:40.404 --> 42:41.265
[SPEAKER_02]: No time for that.

42:41.545 --> 42:46.369
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you're on a nude beach you don't have to wear clothes, but you can also be reading comic book.

42:46.910 --> 42:50.753
[SPEAKER_02]: With no idea, I guess that's the only place where you can be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is cool here.

42:51.353 --> 42:54.496
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, how many nude beach beaches are in South Eastern Pennsylvania?

42:55.036 --> 42:55.677
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, not many.

42:56.437 --> 42:58.339
[SPEAKER_01]: No, but you know where they are.

42:58.459 --> 43:00.461
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm in South Central Pennsylvania.

43:01.061 --> 43:01.482
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, nice.

43:01.662 --> 43:03.844
[SPEAKER_01]: They're which is a famous nudist, sort of.

43:03.864 --> 43:05.365
[SPEAKER_01]: And beacha, that's why you move there, right?

43:05.765 --> 43:07.587
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, for all the nude beaches.

43:08.595 --> 43:09.416
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah.

43:09.436 --> 43:10.677
[SPEAKER_02]: This doesn't make any sense.

43:11.498 --> 43:14.281
[SPEAKER_02]: I read it and tried to read it again.

43:14.321 --> 43:15.422
[SPEAKER_02]: Then I was like, what am I doing?

43:15.502 --> 43:17.845
[SPEAKER_02]: So here's the thing.

43:17.865 --> 43:19.827
[SPEAKER_02]: Alex puts together an amazing stack.

43:19.847 --> 43:25.473
[SPEAKER_02]: But sometimes he puts things in here and he's not here to defend it or at least talk about it.

43:25.533 --> 43:25.713
[SPEAKER_02]: But

43:26.732 --> 43:34.140
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, if you like weird things, this is you, you know, if you're like a little nudity, this is for you.

43:35.181 --> 43:36.142
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's the thing, right?

43:36.162 --> 43:41.507
[SPEAKER_02]: Like how many issues do you have to go where you can follow what's happening or need answers?

43:41.547 --> 43:42.068
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?

43:42.088 --> 43:43.229
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll find that out with this book.

43:43.249 --> 43:44.631
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm certainly intrigued by it.

43:44.711 --> 43:47.754
[SPEAKER_01]: Like there's like a definitely a sexual element to it.

43:47.874 --> 43:48.775
[SPEAKER_01]: There's, um, the

43:48.895 --> 44:07.106
[SPEAKER_01]: there's a lot of male gays in here so like you know I'm not I'm not fully saying I'm fully unbored with it but I'm curious what the idea here is because it's definitely getting at something but we don't know why there's a beautiful sequence of one of the underwater stuff is very beautiful.

44:07.226 --> 44:07.627
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

44:08.587 --> 44:14.293
[SPEAKER_01]: underwater, just like floating, sort of sinking and laying on sea grass.

44:14.433 --> 44:17.416
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's, I mean, Gilm marches art is amazing.

44:17.577 --> 44:20.740
[SPEAKER_01]: So like, it's, I was happy to read this.

44:20.800 --> 44:22.862
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was interesting at the very least.

44:23.343 --> 44:30.190
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm very curious what the next issue is going to be and what the sort of story is going to point at by the end of it.

44:30.701 --> 44:42.732
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and it's also this interesting idea if you see somebody in the water who's not moving, you know, maybe they're just laying in the sea grass and relaxing, like don't try to save them because they'll be like, hey, you're messing with me.

44:42.752 --> 44:48.697
[SPEAKER_01]: If you see someone under water and they're down there for longer than like 20 seconds, I would go check it out.

44:48.797 --> 44:52.360
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, if that's the thing, the guy does in this and she's like, what are you doing?

44:52.481 --> 44:53.722
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's like, oh, my bad.

44:54.659 --> 45:07.728
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, yes, I got to say she's mad at him for disturbing her like feels like ritual But my I got to say that That's you can't hold not many people can hold their breath for much longer.

45:07.748 --> 45:13.873
[SPEAKER_02]: How long do you think you can hold your breath Well, I mean Tom Cruise can do it for almost 10 minutes or something That's definitely not accurate.

45:13.993 --> 45:17.495
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe he says that How long can you hold your breath do you think?

45:18.096 --> 45:19.837
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know 20 seconds maybe

45:20.445 --> 45:21.425
[SPEAKER_01]: See that that's short.

45:21.606 --> 45:22.226
[SPEAKER_01]: That's pretty short.

45:22.946 --> 45:32.671
[SPEAKER_02]: So like I'm saying, that's most people You hear hold your breath and not how long how long can you do there a hot shot probably like a minute Hold minute.

45:33.211 --> 45:33.611
[SPEAKER_02]: I think so.

45:34.191 --> 45:36.472
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow I'm a lake guy.

45:36.832 --> 45:37.413
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a lake guy.

45:38.293 --> 45:41.455
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, you're too busy at the nude beach on the surface.

45:41.555 --> 45:42.175
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm underwater

45:43.385 --> 45:45.407
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sort of the offer use of the two of us.

45:45.567 --> 45:45.767
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

45:45.867 --> 45:46.407
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.

45:46.507 --> 45:51.251
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I won't disturb your sleep summers while you're under and eat the water there.

45:52.092 --> 46:02.960
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, let's move from Snake Island to a Minister of Bath for our guide to the page with space ghosts versus the Hercules number one from Dynamite and by David Pupos.

46:03.440 --> 46:04.922
[SPEAKER_01]: Art by Jonathan Lows.

46:05.682 --> 46:14.108
[SPEAKER_01]: Here we are, we've brought together two sides of the nostalgia universe, and boy, are they unhappy with each other?

46:14.588 --> 46:18.531
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's the problem I have with this issue is the B, the verses.

46:18.651 --> 46:21.833
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to see my parents fighting like this, you know what I mean?

46:21.853 --> 46:24.215
[SPEAKER_02]: We've got space to go to verses the Hercules.

46:25.435 --> 46:27.377
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a great issue, starts really...

46:28.017 --> 46:33.078
[SPEAKER_02]: Sweetly with a very nice moment with the Herkuloid husband and wife there.

46:33.158 --> 46:37.519
[SPEAKER_02]: I was very moved I thought this was such a nice little backstory.

46:37.659 --> 46:52.162
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is great and then you know then you're they're fighting each other I'm like, please stop please stop but by the end of the issue hopefully you know They'll be talking things out a little bit more and not fighting each other, but

46:52.962 --> 47:06.729
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, yeah, I'm excited to see what's going to happen after this, and they hopefully will stop fighting each other in team up, but um, I think this is a cool start and an interesting setup, and I just don't like the versus part, you know what I mean?

47:07.749 --> 47:08.790
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, yeah, I get that.

47:08.950 --> 47:19.275
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have a feeling that they will end up coming together, because um, there's a character introduced in here whose name is, um,

47:23.513 --> 47:28.255
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, Space Coast, hero, classical hero.

47:28.295 --> 47:28.555
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

47:29.736 --> 47:37.980
[SPEAKER_01]: And you need to really bat an eyelash when someone's like, hi, I'm Dr. Arco D. and Chee Ford and blah, blah, blah.

47:38.020 --> 47:40.301
[SPEAKER_01]: But people call me the evil collector.

47:40.621 --> 47:45.183
[SPEAKER_01]: Feel like he would maybe throw it out there like, would you say, and you sound.

47:45.203 --> 47:49.625
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, yeah, yeah, it seems like me around the wrong side of things, you know what I mean?

47:50.292 --> 47:56.317
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, he certainly seems evil because it's in his name and he introduced himself in that way.

47:56.417 --> 47:58.299
[SPEAKER_01]: If you said, I'm evil, Pete LePage.

47:58.439 --> 47:58.919
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

47:59.800 --> 48:00.121
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.

48:00.181 --> 48:01.842
[SPEAKER_01]: I've known you for 20 years now.

48:02.282 --> 48:03.724
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh man, that's that's heartbreaking.

48:04.344 --> 48:05.405
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

48:05.465 --> 48:09.228
[SPEAKER_01]: We have also his robot of Butler is wearing a restraining bolt.

48:09.469 --> 48:10.710
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's something going on there.

48:10.990 --> 48:14.393
[SPEAKER_02]: Also for the record, I'd like to point out that I'm not the evil, Pete LePage.

48:15.814 --> 48:16.835
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a more evil.

48:17.953 --> 48:37.108
[SPEAKER_02]: well i've met another people page and i tried to say he was the evil one and he said i had facial error so i'm the evil one and i was like a few men no i but i think he's what what what what are you what's wrong with that i think i was right well who's the other people page that's what i'm saying you know i mean like why why you take it that guy's side

48:38.481 --> 48:44.945
[SPEAKER_01]: Because, well, for multiple reasons, he said, he was evil and he said, no, no, you're clearly evil.

48:45.625 --> 48:46.486
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was the end of the thing.

48:46.506 --> 48:47.966
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't even know me, you know what I mean?

48:47.986 --> 48:48.827
[SPEAKER_02]: That was fucked up.

48:49.267 --> 48:52.169
[SPEAKER_02]: Here, could I try to get him on the podcast, he wouldn't come on.

48:52.729 --> 48:54.150
[SPEAKER_01]: In his names, also, Pete LePage.

48:54.290 --> 48:56.351
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's mad because he works at Google.

48:56.411 --> 49:01.354
[SPEAKER_02]: I was working at Apple, our past cross, and we're like, hey, what the fuck, you know what I mean?

49:01.374 --> 49:06.997
[SPEAKER_02]: And he was not as cool as I was because he was mad at me because when you Google beat

49:08.398 --> 49:12.079
[SPEAKER_02]: I came up before him and he worked at Google, so he was pissed about that.

49:12.159 --> 49:13.520
[SPEAKER_01]: You think he's changing the results?

49:15.480 --> 49:18.261
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't, I'm sure he's trying, but you know, you can only do something.

49:18.281 --> 49:21.702
[SPEAKER_01]: That does have to be embarrassing at work, at Google.

49:22.823 --> 49:25.123
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I mean, what's he doing at Google himself all the time?

49:25.143 --> 49:26.564
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I mean, knock it off, bro.

49:26.664 --> 49:27.584
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not Google himself.

49:27.604 --> 49:28.284
[SPEAKER_01]: He's Googleing you.

49:29.225 --> 49:30.665
[SPEAKER_01]: Ha ha ha ha.

49:30.945 --> 49:32.526
[SPEAKER_01]: And you mean, wow, you're a tough man.

49:32.586 --> 49:34.986
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm the evil one, you know, come on.

49:37.587 --> 50:01.473
[SPEAKER_01]: are used to be well used and he works there yeah so don't think about anyway fun comics fun comic let's see these guys fight but there's a lot of tragedy in this issue too yeah the herky Lloyds set couple of look like they die you know do you have a feeling we're not gonna find that I've were to find that wasn't what happened but

50:01.870 --> 50:21.862
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's upsetting for the old Lloyds, you know, let's move into our third of their event, the Queen in Black Block, the Queen in Stack, let's talk Queen of Black number for first from Marvel and by Alan doing art by Iban Cuelo and Paco Medina.

50:23.366 --> 50:34.893
[SPEAKER_01]: It's important when you read these issues in a particular order because the second issue is queen of black defenders of light dark number three by valuing in time wall to art by Zay Carlos.

50:35.593 --> 50:44.819
[SPEAKER_02]: You want this is queen of black number four, which you think maybe I read this I know you should read this first read this one first queen of black number four four of the other one.

50:44.879 --> 50:46.700
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, it's a little tricky stuff man.

50:47.538 --> 50:54.863
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, we are getting to the end of this, the fifth issue of Queen of Black will be the final issue.

50:55.523 --> 51:12.074
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, um, of the crossover, we're getting a lot of, uh, so many symbiots, symbiots on symbiots here, um, we have a fire lord symbiot that is needs to be dispensed with, um, Pete, you are the venom freak.

51:12.694 --> 51:13.234
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, dude.

51:13.474 --> 51:14.155
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a venom freak.

51:14.915 --> 51:16.476
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been loving this queen and black thing.

51:16.496 --> 51:17.857
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this is very cool.

51:18.157 --> 51:24.521
[SPEAKER_02]: I still think this was a crazy end of an issue where I was like, oh fuck, I did not see that coming.

51:25.381 --> 51:27.162
[SPEAKER_02]: They're having fun with that, you know what I mean?

51:27.262 --> 51:28.043
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm liking it.

51:28.203 --> 51:30.864
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this is really interesting.

51:31.285 --> 51:33.966
[SPEAKER_02]: And we kind of get like the other event.

51:34.006 --> 51:36.748
[SPEAKER_02]: We get a two part kind of story, which I think is such,

51:37.568 --> 51:38.950
[SPEAKER_02]: So well executed.

51:38.990 --> 51:52.269
[SPEAKER_02]: We kind of get like this big fight that's teased in this one, but really kind of plays out in the next issue, which I think is a cool way to kind of do it, telling bigger stories that can't be contained in the 22 page kind of issue.

51:52.289 --> 51:52.329
[SPEAKER_02]: So

51:53.470 --> 51:55.151
[SPEAKER_01]: They refused to be contained.

51:55.271 --> 51:57.973
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I'm all for it, man.

51:58.033 --> 52:09.361
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought this was such a crazy end of an issue that then kind of gets explored more in the next one, but man, awesome.

52:09.381 --> 52:16.205
[SPEAKER_02]: This was really weird and kind of cool and crazy visually when he gets to the end of the issue.

52:16.245 --> 52:18.567
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, oh, wow, what a smile.

52:19.739 --> 52:29.985
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, yeah, it's, there's just so much going on in this event, there's the black cat in this unlike what's happening say in bad seeds where everything is existing on its own track.

52:30.713 --> 52:31.794
[SPEAKER_01]: at the same setting.

52:32.495 --> 52:37.819
[SPEAKER_01]: Every all of the plot moments have to come together here because we have black cat went to get this seed.

52:37.899 --> 52:48.969
[SPEAKER_01]: So the the Goopy Supreme Intelligence from the Cree Homeworld had to be turned on Goop essentially.

52:49.590 --> 52:52.733
[SPEAKER_01]: So we get that happening here, which helps them win, we get

52:53.640 --> 53:00.730
[SPEAKER_01]: the defenders teams that are run by cable and ironman have gone into space and all they talk about his plan B.

53:01.545 --> 53:09.911
[SPEAKER_01]: There had a plan A that's they've been teasing plan B forever plan B was just let's bring hella and null together.

53:10.332 --> 53:15.736
[SPEAKER_01]: Hella has the power of null of symbiote king and black energy.

53:16.156 --> 53:16.857
[SPEAKER_01]: She's the queen of black.

53:17.357 --> 53:19.539
[SPEAKER_01]: null has been given light powers ironically.

53:20.760 --> 53:23.342
[SPEAKER_01]: And so they they're like, hey, if we put them together, they'll kill each other.

53:23.862 --> 53:24.803
[SPEAKER_01]: Interesting plan.

53:25.224 --> 53:29.228
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't expect it to work quite as well as it did because it doesn't make a ton of sense.

53:29.968 --> 53:40.719
[SPEAKER_01]: But we do get to see that in the that happens off panel in number four that we get to see the actual story come together in the fantasy like dark number three.

53:40.999 --> 53:42.761
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the focus on cloaking dagger there.

53:43.241 --> 53:43.782
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

53:43.802 --> 53:44.262
[SPEAKER_01]: That's cool.

53:45.582 --> 53:46.683
[SPEAKER_01]: We get to see them fight.

53:46.723 --> 53:50.647
[SPEAKER_01]: We find out that no, hello famously, hard to defeat.

53:50.747 --> 53:52.369
[SPEAKER_01]: No, handily, does it?

53:54.251 --> 54:03.920
[SPEAKER_01]: And then no is the final big bad, having become the king, I guess, of light and darkness, essentially, right?

54:04.381 --> 54:04.581
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

54:05.413 --> 54:13.921
[SPEAKER_01]: Meanwhile, everyone else reads running a venom experiment that goes wrong, and the entire planet Earth is symbioded.

54:16.103 --> 54:17.905
[SPEAKER_01]: We're living out of venom plant.

54:18.125 --> 54:20.787
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's a whole planet as venomized.

54:21.288 --> 54:25.812
[SPEAKER_02]: But luckily, no, it was flying away in this victory kind of flight.

54:26.396 --> 54:43.213
[SPEAKER_02]: which we get into the next issue and yeah this is crazy turn to events man what do you do if you're whole planet is eaten by venom you know what I mean I really like the last both of these comics end with the last page reveal of yeah venom world

54:44.064 --> 54:52.689
[SPEAKER_01]: but the one in Queen of Black number four has a lava tongue and like a core tongue coming out which I actually think is really cool.

54:53.410 --> 54:54.370
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, tongue is fun.

54:54.950 --> 54:56.812
[SPEAKER_01]: So a lot of wild visuals.

54:56.892 --> 55:01.854
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a little all over the place, but I am curious how we get to the end here.

55:01.935 --> 55:06.137
[SPEAKER_01]: We do know that Mary Jane will not be venom anymore after this.

55:06.177 --> 55:07.058
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's too bad.

55:07.178 --> 55:09.059
[SPEAKER_01]: I wish we could have more time with her.

55:09.866 --> 55:10.787
[SPEAKER_01]: I was doing that.

55:11.387 --> 55:13.068
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it was very fun to have for there.

55:13.108 --> 55:14.470
[SPEAKER_01]: I miss I miss her already.

55:15.370 --> 55:19.553
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like her and Venom have gotten a divorce as well.

55:20.254 --> 55:20.974
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, man.

55:22.516 --> 55:24.017
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't Second divorce.

55:24.137 --> 55:27.259
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, you're killing me, man.

55:27.339 --> 55:29.841
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think that'll give Venom and Peter Parker more to talk about?

55:29.861 --> 55:33.904
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, they were like, man, we were both in love with MJ.

55:33.984 --> 55:35.726
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, to work out.

55:36.506 --> 55:38.748
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we're like also Venom's in love with Peter.

55:39.785 --> 55:40.005
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

55:40.825 --> 55:41.666
[SPEAKER_01]: Thrupple.

55:42.846 --> 55:45.987
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's move on and talk about dark nights of steel.

55:46.267 --> 55:47.448
[SPEAKER_01]: We, that's when we already did.

55:47.708 --> 55:52.750
[SPEAKER_01]: Dark nights of steel, number two, number three, from DC Comics or by talking about.

55:52.810 --> 55:53.270
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

55:53.390 --> 55:54.330
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

55:54.350 --> 55:59.312
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, this is the second run of this story, which I think is cool.

55:59.980 --> 56:11.893
[SPEAKER_01]: and it's the third issue of that second run are in by Tom Taylor R by Otto Schmidt, this following a medieval version of the DC universe where all the characters are mixed them up.

56:12.673 --> 56:16.135
[SPEAKER_01]: In different ways, we're focusing on Amanda Waller's plan.

56:16.475 --> 56:19.877
[SPEAKER_01]: She's been secretly poisoning all of the cryptonians.

56:20.637 --> 56:29.862
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's getting away with it except for her daughter, Barbara Gordon, and this world, Amanda Waller and Jim Gordon are together.

56:30.042 --> 56:32.743
[SPEAKER_01]: And they had Barbara Gordon who is Oracle.

56:33.063 --> 56:34.084
[SPEAKER_01]: She is in Oracle.

56:34.124 --> 56:36.465
[SPEAKER_01]: She can see the future, which I thought is a smart idea.

56:37.500 --> 56:38.641
[SPEAKER_01]: She's seen it all happen.

56:39.221 --> 56:51.647
[SPEAKER_01]: We're getting everyone moving sort of against everyone being fooled by Amanda Waller We're getting super girl poised in one woman sad because they are together and this world I love this world.

56:51.667 --> 56:54.849
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like it's just smart boiled down storytelling from Tom Taylor.

56:54.889 --> 56:59.251
[SPEAKER_01]: The art is really lined up with this world in a nice way.

56:59.271 --> 57:01.592
[SPEAKER_01]: I would just keep reading this forever.

57:02.388 --> 57:03.890
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the art is amazing.

57:03.930 --> 57:05.551
[SPEAKER_02]: It's worth checking out for the art alone.

57:05.631 --> 57:07.794
[SPEAKER_02]: The kind of fun twists on the characters are great.

57:08.074 --> 57:10.196
[SPEAKER_02]: Harley Quinn is awesome in this comic.

57:10.276 --> 57:13.059
[SPEAKER_02]: I really love the version of Harley we get in here.

57:14.080 --> 57:17.223
[SPEAKER_02]: Such a kind of cool, almost kind of like narrator character.

57:17.243 --> 57:18.885
[SPEAKER_02]: It kind of walk us through all the madness.

57:20.226 --> 57:23.710
[SPEAKER_02]: But it gets pretty dark in this issue.

57:23.750 --> 57:25.471
[SPEAKER_02]: That kind of took me out of it a little bit.

57:26.432 --> 57:30.316
[SPEAKER_02]: the pillow death in this was a little much for me.

57:31.217 --> 57:32.858
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, hello, that sounds fun.

57:33.359 --> 57:39.404
[SPEAKER_02]: No, not in this and, uh, Bane is, uh, pretty creepy in this as well.

57:39.464 --> 57:45.309
[SPEAKER_02]: So, uh, yeah, it's interesting to see the kind of artistic takes on their heroes and villains.

57:45.349 --> 57:48.012
[SPEAKER_02]: We know so well, so that's the fun of this.

57:48.643 --> 57:50.625
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, let's then let's light it up a little bit.

57:50.665 --> 57:57.390
[SPEAKER_01]: P and talk hell-raiser resurrections the deep gospel number one from Boom Studios are in My Teenie Howard, our by Jenna Chao.

57:57.791 --> 58:01.574
[SPEAKER_01]: Today we've had a few of these.

58:01.614 --> 58:04.116
[SPEAKER_01]: We've talked about the last two and the last two weeks.

58:04.856 --> 58:06.398
[SPEAKER_01]: We're gonna get at least one more.

58:07.548 --> 58:24.996
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, this is following, um, the, we got to follow the, um, chatter in the last one, um, we got to follow, I believe, pinned head, uh, before, uh, and then in this issue, we're following, um, the center bite.

58:25.456 --> 58:30.218
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the female character in the Hellraiser, uh, sort of,

58:30.958 --> 58:31.778
[SPEAKER_01]: Canon, I guess.

58:32.338 --> 58:33.879
[SPEAKER_01]: Have you watched the hilarious movies, Pete?

58:34.199 --> 58:35.119
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure, haven't, buddy.

58:35.759 --> 58:38.280
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not a big fan of horror movies.

58:38.640 --> 58:39.620
[SPEAKER_02]: I got to be scary.

58:39.720 --> 58:42.020
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I got enough things to give me nightmares.

58:42.060 --> 58:44.341
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't need more nightmare fluid.

58:44.381 --> 58:45.061
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?

58:45.101 --> 58:47.662
[SPEAKER_02]: So I try to avoid them.

58:49.142 --> 58:50.922
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, some people think it's fun to be scared.

58:51.703 --> 58:52.423
[SPEAKER_01]: I like being scared.

58:52.783 --> 58:53.083
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't.

58:53.363 --> 58:54.323
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it's fun at all.

58:55.463 --> 58:56.504
[SPEAKER_01]: Were you scared by this issue?

58:57.524 --> 58:57.704
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

58:59.619 --> 59:10.710
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, this one, we follow the sentabite as she's sort of giving an education to some other disciples in the hell's gospel, I guess.

59:10.830 --> 59:16.835
[SPEAKER_01]: She is teaching them about the exquisite torture of pain and how you must.

59:17.516 --> 59:23.617
[SPEAKER_01]: go through that to be to find your destiny in hell, it's a pretty wild story.

59:23.697 --> 59:26.898
[SPEAKER_01]: This is not my fame of the three.

59:26.918 --> 59:33.659
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like the other two were more fucked up, a little darker, but that helped the story.

59:33.679 --> 59:38.140
[SPEAKER_01]: This is very much, and they were also touching on characters on earth.

59:38.560 --> 59:43.862
[SPEAKER_01]: This one's exclusively in hell, and you know, I'm not from, I have never seen a hell razor either,

59:46.382 --> 59:46.862
[SPEAKER_01]: fan.

59:46.902 --> 59:48.442
[SPEAKER_01]: This would be some nice.

59:49.103 --> 59:51.223
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought you were saying I haven't been to hell.

59:51.783 --> 59:52.963
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what it's like.

59:53.263 --> 59:59.085
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't been to hell yet, but I think it's going to be pretty good at the end of the day.

59:59.105 --> 01:00:01.685
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't have a great handbook in the deep gospel number one.

01:00:02.325 --> 01:00:04.726
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk Destroke the Terminator number seven.

01:00:04.746 --> 01:00:07.526
[SPEAKER_01]: These are comments written by Tony if leaks.

01:00:08.047 --> 01:00:10.107
[SPEAKER_02]: You got the Tony fleece and kid me.

01:00:10.949 --> 01:00:35.139
[SPEAKER_01]: the I-20 fleets as part of part of me are by Carmine D. D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D. and D

01:00:35.985 --> 01:00:40.527
[SPEAKER_01]: sort of how they split from each other and what she did to get there.

01:00:41.247 --> 01:00:43.388
[SPEAKER_01]: What did you think of this, Pete?

01:00:43.608 --> 01:00:54.851
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we didn't get a lot of terminator in here, but there was a lot of like a test stroke, you know, killing what looked like toxic adventure type dudes, you know what I mean?

01:00:54.871 --> 01:00:55.252
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.

01:00:56.272 --> 01:00:59.353
[SPEAKER_02]: And kind of a cool, interesting cliffhanger.

01:00:59.884 --> 01:01:09.625
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, kind of this very interesting, like, what's in the, you know, what's in that kind of glass kind of cylinder type of thing, you know, so

01:01:11.261 --> 01:01:13.722
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I thought this was very cool that art was great.

01:01:14.923 --> 01:01:21.085
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, interesting cliffhanger, you know, Tony does some great writing, you know?

01:01:21.145 --> 01:01:26.388
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he knows how to write action, knows how to like stop action, explore ideas, kind of do stuff here.

01:01:26.428 --> 01:01:28.709
[SPEAKER_02]: So we get a little bit of that, which is cool.

01:01:28.809 --> 01:01:38.053
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, I just think maybe some people are more determined and are than destruct fans a little like, hey, don't jip me on the German ender, but then that, this is interesting.

01:01:39.602 --> 01:01:43.694
[SPEAKER_01]: What you wanted, do you think this was a defeating the terminator side of things?

01:01:44.302 --> 01:01:53.626
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I just think that, you know, Zalbatron, if you put people's names in the title and they're not in it, he gets a little kind of like, hey, what the fuck?

01:01:53.646 --> 01:01:54.226
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?

01:01:54.266 --> 01:01:56.627
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you fooled me, you fooled me for the last time.

01:01:56.848 --> 01:01:57.508
[SPEAKER_02]: Is what he screams?

01:01:58.088 --> 01:01:58.508
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:01:58.968 --> 01:02:12.675
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I thought this was a great, a great issue filling us in on how that stroke's former partner sort of came to where she is and when we meet her in the previous issues, all very upsetting, all going to get

01:02:14.275 --> 01:02:17.619
[SPEAKER_01]: As it goes on since it's the past great great title here.

01:02:17.639 --> 01:02:25.828
[SPEAKER_01]: The art is excellent I like the use we use two artists here to split up different sections of the book Which I think is super effective.

01:02:25.848 --> 01:02:27.130
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that is really good.

01:02:27.350 --> 01:02:28.411
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad you pointed that out.

01:02:28.491 --> 01:02:29.192
[SPEAKER_02]: It's pretty well done

01:02:29.908 --> 01:02:30.529
[SPEAKER_01]: Well done.

01:02:30.669 --> 01:02:32.290
[SPEAKER_01]: This series continues to be great.

01:02:32.310 --> 01:02:33.050
[SPEAKER_01]: Definitely pick it up.

01:02:33.110 --> 01:02:34.672

[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, for my press.

01:02:36.653 --> 01:02:37.794
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about it.

01:02:38.334 --> 01:02:39.535
[SPEAKER_01]: Written by Dave.

01:02:39.635 --> 01:02:41.897
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll guys aren't by Tad Galucia.

01:02:41.957 --> 01:02:43.758
[SPEAKER_01]: We had Dave on the show.

01:02:43.938 --> 01:02:44.379
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure did.

01:02:45.339 --> 01:02:47.601
[SPEAKER_01]: Was that two weeks ago or last week?

01:02:47.641 --> 01:02:48.201
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure.

01:02:48.441 --> 01:02:48.882
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm not sure.

01:02:48.902 --> 01:02:49.362
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm not sure.

01:02:49.382 --> 01:02:51.063
[SPEAKER_02]: The dude also had the brim like yours.

01:02:51.083 --> 01:02:53.185
[SPEAKER_02]: So that was kind of you guys had conflicting brims.

01:02:53.965 --> 01:02:56.227
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if they were conflicting, they were collaborating.

01:02:56.247 --> 01:02:57.667
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I believe that's good.

01:02:57.707 --> 01:03:03.170
[SPEAKER_01]: He was last week, and we talked about Showdown a book that I love.

01:03:03.190 --> 01:03:09.074
[SPEAKER_01]: We were talking about on the live show about how you really capture small town life here.

01:03:09.114 --> 01:03:20.440
[SPEAKER_01]: If you haven't heard about this book, this is two characters, a woman comes back to town and she's avenging her brother essentially, challenges the person she blames for his death.

01:03:20.840 --> 01:03:21.661
[SPEAKER_01]: to a showdown.

01:03:22.141 --> 01:03:23.221
[SPEAKER_01]: That was in the first issue.

01:03:23.381 --> 01:03:36.908
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we take the time to get to really flesh out these characters Learn their triumphs and tragedies mostly tragedies This fourth issue is bringing them very close to the final showdown, which I think we're gonna get next issue

01:03:38.837 --> 01:03:40.820
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think this is great.

01:03:40.880 --> 01:03:47.887
[SPEAKER_01]: There's comedy moments, there's just great slice of life stuff about being about heightened circumstances in a small town.

01:03:48.488 --> 01:03:52.372
[SPEAKER_01]: Why people make the choices that they do and the consequences of those choices.

01:03:53.153 --> 01:03:57.278
[SPEAKER_01]: One of my favorites definitely start over at the first issue and read it up to this number four.

01:03:57.498 --> 01:03:58.880
[SPEAKER_01]: Can't wait for the fifth issue.

01:03:59.160 --> 01:04:00.280

[SPEAKER_02]: And in 10 slash panel old school fights, you know, you just,

01:04:54.014 --> 01:05:03.099
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I think the fights were such an interesting part of small town life, you know, a really great, you know, let's you know, like, oh, I just got punched in the face.

01:05:03.619 --> 01:05:05.420

01:05:05.700 --> 01:05:10.203
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm being an asshole, you know, and I think, you know, you really took the fights to harden year.

01:05:11.143 --> 01:05:16.726
[SPEAKER_02]: Dude, they were a big part of growing up, man, like, you had to fight your way into life.

01:05:16.846 --> 01:05:21.429
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big, it was a big way out, right?

01:05:21.509 --> 01:05:22.369

[SPEAKER_01]: But I just beat the shit out of so many on the way out the door.

01:05:29.728 --> 01:05:30.608
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right, man.

01:05:30.888 --> 01:05:32.189
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right, exactly.

01:05:32.549 --> 01:05:33.069
[SPEAKER_01]: Good to know.

01:05:33.350 --> 01:05:34.070
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm there.

01:05:34.990 --> 01:05:37.692
[SPEAKER_02]: I also too, but I might need to tag you and help me out.

01:05:38.252 --> 01:05:41.473
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, and this one.

01:05:42.054 --> 01:05:43.754
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, this was so good.

01:05:43.774 --> 01:05:45.975
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to fight the other people, Google Pete LePage.

01:05:46.516 --> 01:05:47.396
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I would love to.

01:05:48.497 --> 01:05:49.457
[SPEAKER_01]: As your last act.

01:05:49.952 --> 01:05:51.692
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I got no problem with doing that, man.

01:05:51.712 --> 01:05:54.633
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I said, I'm sick of this shit anyway.

01:05:54.733 --> 01:05:59.735
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I just think this is such a great exploration of a showdown, right?

01:05:59.855 --> 01:06:05.816
[SPEAKER_02]: And like we all kind of are living our own little movie and then kind of somebody gets in our way.

01:06:06.396 --> 01:06:10.737
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, nobody stops to think about what's their side, what's their deal, you know?

01:06:10.817 --> 01:06:16.599
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think this is a kind of cool way to kind of get everybody's story and something like,

01:06:17.698 --> 01:06:21.004
[SPEAKER_02]: a fight, you know, so very well done while executed.

01:06:22.108 --> 01:06:25.710
[SPEAKER_02]: And the art just kind of really pulls you and such really gets way, yeah.

01:06:25.810 --> 01:06:26.250
[SPEAKER_01]: Great read.

01:06:26.890 --> 01:06:32.032
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk uncanny X-Men number 35 from Marvel and by Gale Simone, Art by Luciano Vecchio.

01:06:32.733 --> 01:06:36.935
[SPEAKER_01]: Here we are getting two, we're telling, we're hearing the story on two tracks.

01:06:37.575 --> 01:06:44.158
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got your, your gambit and rogue gambit has been possessed by his entourage.

01:06:44.178 --> 01:06:44.418
[SPEAKER_01]: Demon.

01:06:45.058 --> 01:06:49.240
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but he's got the other eye of Agamado jammed into his chest.

01:06:50.100 --> 01:06:50.701
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks for that.

01:06:51.633 --> 01:06:54.896
[SPEAKER_01]: Meanwhile, the other X-Men have sort of gotten caught up in a mystery.

01:06:54.916 --> 01:06:59.580
[SPEAKER_01]: They find some mutants that are being abused, but they try to help them.

01:07:00.001 --> 01:07:12.792
[SPEAKER_01]: I really end up breaking into this, essentially, a torture facility that is going to be, we're going to continue to find out how it's going, but they are facing down a big

01:07:18.656 --> 01:07:19.957
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, if you know that book as well.

01:07:20.617 --> 01:07:22.017
[SPEAKER_01]: I really like these two tracks.

01:07:22.098 --> 01:07:24.358
[SPEAKER_01]: I like this new character Repent.

01:07:25.439 --> 01:07:43.587
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe is his name who's the mutant exorcist as a cool idea It's chastagale Simone for just like introducing all these new ideas it feels like Her book is this creative explosion building out the X-Men universe getting characters like this at the same time really flushing out

01:07:44.590 --> 01:07:52.974
[SPEAKER_01]: the other people that the X the X men are living with down in northern's area down Louisiana is really nice.

01:07:53.094 --> 01:07:59.357
[SPEAKER_01]: I like meeting this really getting to know this family they're staying with showing how much care they are giving for all the mutants.

01:08:00.017 --> 01:08:02.318
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really really good.

01:08:03.008 --> 01:08:03.768
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I agree with you.

01:08:03.788 --> 01:08:07.010
[SPEAKER_02]: Gale Simone is a great writer, and this is kind of fun.

01:08:07.290 --> 01:08:28.360
[SPEAKER_02]: It's also interesting that DC kind of showcased one-armed person who is kind of, you know, with the bow and arrow, and in this issue, we get a one-armed person from Marvel, so it's kind of like, what's going on in the air that this is coming out, but cool character and always kind of fun to introduce new people in X-Men,

01:08:29.500 --> 01:08:37.324
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is also a very heartbreaking talking about abuse and, you know, I think this is what, you know, what you want expend to be fighting for.

01:08:37.404 --> 01:08:42.567
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't even mean like let's take care of these fucking assholes and bad guys and and, uh,

01:08:43.269 --> 01:09:08.537
[SPEAKER_02]: make this world better so yeah great kind of premise yeah like you said with the two stories going on and you know I'm worried about evil Remi here so we'll see how this all unfolds you know that what was it called the iron cathedral that doesn't sound good you know I mean that sounds like that's going to be troubled but you know time will tell but yeah I think they do a great job of teasing kind of what's coming next

01:09:10.828 --> 01:09:11.109
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:09:12.151 --> 01:09:13.514

[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm just so curious where this book is going to or this this book is this arc I guess is going to end Because I just can't see it and that's an exciting place to be it is and we read a lot of comments So the fact that you can't see it is But you didn't think the saving the big cop revealed to the end was good.

01:11:20.764 --> 01:11:21.325
[SPEAKER_02]: You didn't like that.

01:11:21.365 --> 01:11:22.205

[SPEAKER_02]: This is Garth on this having a good time, you know.

01:12:28.932 --> 01:12:39.556
[SPEAKER_01]: It is definitely you can feel the fun that everyone's having as they work on this and they're doing a good job of keeping the story balloon in the air at the same time they're keeping the parody balloon in the air which is actually really hard to do.

01:12:40.036 --> 01:12:41.177
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree, I agree.

01:12:41.617 --> 01:12:48.059

[SPEAKER_02]: Enjoyable and I'm just realizing we're getting the double bird here on the cover.

01:15:47.316 --> 01:15:48.017
[SPEAKER_01]: You've got to get mine.

01:15:48.037 --> 01:15:48.898
[SPEAKER_01]: Mine are coming in the mail.

01:15:49.559 --> 01:15:51.442
[SPEAKER_01]: They're being delivered by drones, ironically.

01:15:52.462 --> 01:16:18.248
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... let's talk red roots number five uh... comic spy Lorenzo de Felicci we talked about how this story was like the first issue was like wild like we we were very charmed by how strange it was the pivot that happened in the middle and i feel like for the last couple of years been like wait we actually what is happening and we're continuing to not quite know what's happening but at least the characters are coming back together Pete how do you feel

01:16:18.778 --> 01:16:19.498
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I agree.

01:16:19.538 --> 01:16:21.579
[SPEAKER_02]: This is weird, but enjoyable.

01:16:21.659 --> 01:16:22.519
[SPEAKER_02]: I have my notes.

01:16:22.979 --> 01:16:25.600
[SPEAKER_02]: I love this story, but I can't really tell you why.

01:16:25.620 --> 01:16:33.903
[SPEAKER_02]: I love the characters, the monsters are so interesting, and I love how much like they don't understand humans and why they're scared of them.

01:16:34.563 --> 01:16:44.726
[SPEAKER_02]: It's unique, and it's taking us time, and it's not pissing me off that I don't understand it yet, but the art and the character designs are just amazing.

01:16:44.826 --> 01:16:45.086
[SPEAKER_02]: So,

01:16:45.606 --> 01:16:59.332
[SPEAKER_02]: It's kind of this, walking this weird line and in this issue that's also the characters are like my scared, I feel like it should be scared and the monsters are like growing, just chill out man, why don't you just hang out?

01:16:59.812 --> 01:17:05.274
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's interesting that they haven't really given us a full look at the premise or narrative.

01:17:05.834 --> 01:17:06.314
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:17:06.895 --> 01:17:08.835
[SPEAKER_01]: And that makes me think, are they going to?

01:17:08.975 --> 01:17:11.616
[SPEAKER_01]: Are we just on board with this journey?

01:17:12.297 --> 01:17:12.777
[SPEAKER_01]: Basically?

01:17:14.277 --> 01:17:14.577
[SPEAKER_01]: maybe.

01:17:14.937 --> 01:17:20.339
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's an interesting way to tell the stories committing to not revealing everything.

01:17:20.779 --> 01:17:23.059
[SPEAKER_01]: When usually stories are pretty coy about it.

01:17:23.479 --> 01:17:28.841
[SPEAKER_01]: This one seems to be saying like, sorry, I'll tell you what I want to tell you when I want to tell you.

01:17:29.001 --> 01:17:30.981
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not being prescriptively coy.

01:17:31.241 --> 01:17:32.882
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm this is the way I tell the story.

01:17:33.802 --> 01:17:36.385
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see how that works out in the next issue.

01:17:36.725 --> 01:17:42.550
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk superman on limited number 17 these from DC Comics are in my dance slot, art by Monto's.

01:17:43.270 --> 01:18:01.065
[SPEAKER_01]: This is of course the 7th issue in the kingdom of about this week where Superman just really does a lot in this issue.

01:18:01.870 --> 01:18:19.203
[SPEAKER_02]: sure does yeah yeah we're working against the clock here but golden Superman you know he tries to save the dang it rid of all the kryptonite far enough fun art this is cool dense lot you know I mean that guy can

01:18:20.251 --> 01:18:37.360
[SPEAKER_02]: he can write some stories and there's a lot going on and he has kind of the knowledge base and the fandom to kind of know all the lore you know so I feel like sometimes he's flexing on us in this but yeah still very kind of cool and interesting story we got going on here.

01:18:38.203 --> 01:18:39.704
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I wondered this this golden.

01:18:39.724 --> 01:18:51.254
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is like a race against the clock is his golden powers the only last 200 seconds because that's like the golden hour the sunset once it's, you know, it's a second.

01:18:51.314 --> 01:19:00.482
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he it's like him going supernova the Nova flame from Johnny storm if you will and so he's a clip.

01:19:01.162 --> 01:19:10.527
[SPEAKER_01]: He's flying around and he is absorbing all of the bad kryptonite, which is super nice of him to do.

01:19:11.087 --> 01:19:21.132
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, there's a lot of Superman as Jesus in this, which I thought was, I don't know, I guess this is just my taste.

01:19:21.252 --> 01:19:27.055
[SPEAKER_01]: So like, because I do think this is a good story and I like the way that everyone is being taught each other.

01:19:28.032 --> 01:19:37.335
[SPEAKER_01]: But it is a little jeez to see it, and I don't mean that I saw a knock against religion, but it's putting Superman in this role of being like perfect.

01:19:37.455 --> 01:19:49.358
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a moment in here where his got John, who's been in disguise this whole time, is fighting the eradicator, the female eradicator robot.

01:19:50.377 --> 01:19:53.300
[SPEAKER_01]: and he's like, I, she's a robot, right?

01:19:53.320 --> 01:19:59.745
[SPEAKER_01]: I can kill her and everyone's like, yes, you didn't know that and everyone's mad at him and he's like, I was just kidding.

01:20:00.325 --> 01:20:03.648
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, since one is, everyone, they're so pristine.

01:20:03.688 --> 01:20:05.689
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, he can't make a joke, I think.

01:20:07.351 --> 01:20:16.598
[SPEAKER_01]: And Superman flying around and absorbing this energy, feel like that's a power set that I, I don't know, it feels a little off to me.

01:20:16.838 --> 01:20:18.620
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's maybe just my flavor.

01:20:19.788 --> 01:20:29.413
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I assume man's always one of those like sometimes they kind of invent powers for an issue or something You're like what the where is this coming from you know what I mean?

01:20:29.974 --> 01:20:40.980
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm still upset about this Superman movie where he just kind of threw the his as S. Office chest and all of a sudden it was like a foil thing to get trapped in I was like what the fuck is this?

01:20:41.920 --> 01:20:42.861
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm nothing that's cool.

01:20:43.421 --> 01:20:44.982
[SPEAKER_01]: I love surprising clothes

01:20:47.329 --> 01:20:52.011
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, he he flies so far and so fast and his golden power that is beard literally comes off.

01:20:52.752 --> 01:20:53.052
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.

01:20:53.312 --> 01:20:55.193
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's how you're supposed to take off your beard.

01:20:56.373 --> 01:20:56.954
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you see it?

01:20:56.994 --> 01:20:59.035
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's I thought that was funny.

01:20:59.555 --> 01:21:01.116
[SPEAKER_01]: It's he is like a strange choice.

01:21:01.256 --> 01:21:05.598
[SPEAKER_01]: He has the beard and then he doesn't and then he will be going to get a comment on it.

01:21:05.638 --> 01:21:06.879
[SPEAKER_01]: Like he.

01:21:08.019 --> 01:21:08.359
[SPEAKER_01]: I like you.

01:21:08.439 --> 01:21:09.060
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the beard.

01:21:09.080 --> 01:21:11.661
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, oh, what do we heard?

01:21:12.001 --> 01:21:13.822
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just there's just strange ideas here.

01:21:14.654 --> 01:21:41.057
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but they're big ideas and that's on the end of the idea that yeah, thanks going big this crossover was about that we still have a little bit more to get to the fallout from the what happened here he saves Lana's life She's been sort of depowered lowest also depowered so we're getting back to the the original relationship with all these characters so that's that's cool

01:21:43.092 --> 01:21:45.455
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder why I have to do to get my beard to come off?

01:21:45.475 --> 01:21:47.558
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, fly as fast as you can, man.

01:21:48.199 --> 01:21:48.879
[SPEAKER_02]: Like we're running?

01:21:49.740 --> 01:21:53.525
[SPEAKER_02]: No, like you got to start flying, and then you turn gold, and then it comes up.

01:21:54.086 --> 01:21:55.127
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, I'll give it a shot.

01:21:56.289 --> 01:22:00.594
[SPEAKER_01]: We got red coat coming up next number 20 from Ghost Machine Image Comics, from my Jeff Johns Art by Brian Hitch.

01:22:01.547 --> 01:22:05.771
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, in the last issue, some horrible things happened.

01:22:05.791 --> 01:22:11.615
[SPEAKER_01]: Ben Nick Arnold killed Redcoats, wife, and two children with an axe.

01:22:11.856 --> 01:22:17.600
[SPEAKER_01]: It was, and we get the aftermath of that here where he's just really twisting the knife over and over again.

01:22:17.640 --> 01:22:18.601
[SPEAKER_01]: The axe, if you will.

01:22:19.142 --> 01:22:19.422
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

01:22:20.183 --> 01:22:25.167
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Redcoat does something really viscerally upsetting I thought too.

01:22:26.602 --> 01:22:39.986
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, he Barry's Benedict Arnold had been trapped in the bottom of the ocean for a long time and came out and he was like, I'm normal and everyone's like, okay, I bet I bet you're still evil or maybe more evil like evil peat LePage.

01:22:40.366 --> 01:22:42.547
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey Um, he revealed.

01:22:42.567 --> 01:22:44.927
[SPEAKER_01]: Told you then confidence man, come on do it.

01:22:44.987 --> 01:22:46.348
[SPEAKER_01]: You said that on a podcast.

01:22:46.923 --> 01:22:50.484
[SPEAKER_01]: The, so he takes Petit Journal and puts him in cement.

01:22:50.924 --> 01:22:52.844
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's in cement shoes, you know?

01:22:53.064 --> 01:22:54.565
[SPEAKER_01]: But there's a whole lot of cement whole body.

01:22:54.985 --> 01:23:00.686
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, I guess you'll be frozen this cement forever and he's like, fine, I was like, fine.

01:23:01.486 --> 01:23:04.047
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a crazy thing to accept, Petit Journal.

01:23:04.747 --> 01:23:07.188
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's confident to be like, yeah, I'll just chill for a while.

01:23:07.208 --> 01:23:09.268
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm a rest here for a little bit.

01:23:09.688 --> 01:23:11.309
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, rest in peace.

01:23:12.229 --> 01:23:12.929
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.

01:23:17.297 --> 01:23:32.030
[SPEAKER_02]: Impressive in the fact that I never know what I'm going to get with this comic, you know, I don't like the name of this comic, but it's really creative very unique in its way where it does it reminds me of

01:23:33.852 --> 01:23:55.247
[SPEAKER_02]: oh my god you just you just referenced it ice cream man where it's like what are we gonna get each issue they do a different idea uh it's usually really well executed so it's one me over each issue and yeah this was I was just like oh this is fucking dark and then it's gonna darker but yeah I think the next issue is going to be dark

01:23:56.598 --> 01:24:08.585
[SPEAKER_01]: It's called paralyzed and I think oh, she's well from a great height and I think he may be I think it's gonna be dark for at least the next couple of issues.

01:24:08.925 --> 01:24:11.186
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, man As he recovers from this.

01:24:11.226 --> 01:24:17.529
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I remember when we used to be fun, so I'm still enjoying it, but Me too.

01:24:17.749 --> 01:24:21.391
[SPEAKER_01]: I this is one of my favorite comics to read we can make out for the exacting.

01:24:21.411 --> 01:24:22.812
[SPEAKER_01]: You're saying it's a surprise every time

01:24:23.182 --> 01:24:23.883
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's okay.

01:24:23.903 --> 01:24:26.226
[SPEAKER_01]: He's immortal, so he can have some downsides.

01:24:26.627 --> 01:24:35.760
[SPEAKER_01]: Just like Benedict Arnold like go live in the concrete for a bit Yeah, just relax in some concrete I would love to just rest in a bed of concrete

01:24:36.671 --> 01:24:57.733
[SPEAKER_01]: and we can rest after we talk about this our final issue of the stats we wanted 37 from these economies are by Tom King art by Daniel Sam Perry we're back the wonder war is back act two starts right here in this issue we had a lovely little break where we got to retell the romance between Diana and Steve which I thought was really cool

01:24:58.783 --> 01:25:02.948
[SPEAKER_01]: and we are bringing it back to the matriarch.

01:25:02.968 --> 01:25:07.915
[SPEAKER_01]: We get a nice reunion between Wonder Woman and Steve, which I thought was cool, Trinity's there.

01:25:07.935 --> 01:25:08.816
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my God.

01:25:08.836 --> 01:25:10.958
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of explaining is going on.

01:25:11.839 --> 01:25:13.481
[SPEAKER_01]: Great last page moments.

01:25:13.842 --> 01:25:15.904
[SPEAKER_01]: This comment continues to just be.

01:25:16.740 --> 01:25:22.484
[SPEAKER_01]: Great capturing big moments between characters throughout each issue.

01:25:22.824 --> 01:25:33.151
[SPEAKER_01]: We have a nice speech where Diana is talking to two little babies about how what a monster is and how to defeat a monster and also have sympathy for a monster, which I thought was really interesting.

01:25:33.211 --> 01:25:39.175
[SPEAKER_01]: Tom King, just doing a great job writing comics, doing a great job writing the TV show lanterns.

01:25:40.188 --> 01:25:45.246
[SPEAKER_02]: I, uh, yeah, I mean, of the Zelda trombone's here, I was like, how dare you put this at the end of this stack.

01:25:45.266 --> 01:25:46.751
[SPEAKER_02]: This is such a great comic.

01:25:47.188 --> 01:25:49.249
[SPEAKER_02]: It continues to be an amazing comic.

01:25:49.269 --> 01:25:52.731
[SPEAKER_02]: This should be at the top of the stack, because it's so much fun.

01:25:52.751 --> 01:25:53.831
[SPEAKER_02]: This is so cool.

01:25:54.211 --> 01:25:55.432
[SPEAKER_02]: It gets you in the feels.

01:25:55.492 --> 01:26:03.976
[SPEAKER_02]: It really does such a great job of exploring Wonder Woman as a character, sharing her thoughts and feelings on stuff through these kind of babies and the lessons she's trying to teach.

01:26:03.996 --> 01:26:10.359
[SPEAKER_02]: But then when she sees Steve, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

01:26:10.699 --> 01:26:12.639
[SPEAKER_02]: Just magic absolutely magic.

01:26:13.100 --> 01:26:16.740
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, just this is an absolute banger of a comic.

01:26:16.860 --> 01:26:21.541
[SPEAKER_02]: It's has been for a while I don't know why you're not picking up this comic.

01:26:21.561 --> 01:26:22.581
[SPEAKER_02]: It is really great.

01:26:23.302 --> 01:26:33.064
[SPEAKER_01]: The artist is fantastic Really nice That's it for the stack, but before we go, I wanted to try something we haven't really done before much I peed do you have like a pull of the week?

01:26:33.284 --> 01:26:39.525
[SPEAKER_01]: What is your comic that you would say is Lighten you up the most from all the books we top

01:26:40.223 --> 01:26:44.145
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I would say absolute designer came the shadows hand number one.

01:26:44.165 --> 01:26:47.366
[SPEAKER_02]: That was just the very first one we talked about.

01:26:47.386 --> 01:26:50.748
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I thought that just so unique, so cool.

01:26:50.948 --> 01:27:00.632
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm really appreciating the big swings that the absolute universe is taking and really letting the art also drive the story.

01:27:00.652 --> 01:27:01.833
[SPEAKER_02]: So really been loving it.

01:27:02.394 --> 01:27:02.834
[SPEAKER_01]: That's great.

01:27:02.994 --> 01:27:21.246
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to cheat slightly and say the bad seeds comics the run all you are issues I thought were fantastic There's never one winners never cheat if I had to that's not true if I had to pick the fave from it I think I would choose the night wing issue number 142, but they're all great.

01:27:21.266 --> 01:27:23.787
[SPEAKER_02]: I would choose a bad woman issue, but I agree with you.

01:27:23.807 --> 01:27:24.468
[SPEAKER_01]: They're all great

01:27:25.172 --> 01:27:25.552
