Hello, and welcome to First Issues now, the weekly show
2
00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:07.120
posted daily ish about only the newest first issues released
3
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:10.320
by insert comic company year. This week I'll be looking
4
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:12.839
at the comics release for the week of October fifteenth,
5
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:16.399
twenty twenty five. I got nothing for the cold open
6
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:18.719
for the next comic. I don't think I've covered a
7
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:21.760
Distillery book at all in the last sixteen weeks of
8
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:24.440
first issues, but I generally love the books they do.
9
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:27.719
Greenlight and this is from Stephanie Phillips, who I've talked
10
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:31.079
about a lot in her mainstream work. I swear she's
11
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:34.439
had a comical week over the last four weeks. So
12
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.079
I do foresee some great dialogue back and forth at
13
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:41.640
the very least. Let's find out in Endeavor number one,
14
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.399
written by Stephanie Phillips, art by Mark Laming, colors by
15
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:50.600
Lee Luffridge, with letters by Tom Napolitano. From seventeen sixty
16
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:54.159
nine to seventeen seventy one, the HMS Endeavor, commanded by
17
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.759
the famous Lieutenant James Cook, sailed on a voyage of
18
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:01.840
discovery around Tahiti, New Zealand and Australia. It did not
19
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:05.400
end well. Now, a modern day tourism company is offering
20
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.519
a luxury trip aboard a near accurate recreation of the
21
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:12.239
ship for a hefty fee. Elite pastures can experience history
22
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.599
with all of the modern comforts, the vacation of a lifetime,
23
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.799
until the unthinkable happens, and seven children are stuck aboard
24
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.319
the ship alone and adrift at sea rough seas and
25
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:25.760
rations are the very least of their worries as they
26
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:29.680
quickly realize the real enemy is each other. Now granted,
27
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:32.280
I did also leave out the company parts of the solicit,
28
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.680
like this is another prestige format book, but it looks
29
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:38.200
so damn good. And I also left out that this
30
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.239
is for fans of Lord of the Flies and Yellow Jackets. Well,
31
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:43.760
I still haven't seen Yellow Jackets. I think you can
32
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:46.480
already get that this is a Lord of the Fli's book,
33
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:50.120
But that's illicit alone. But I also hate confining it
34
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:54.239
to that, especially since they go

with a family, especially
35
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:57.159
since this reference is the fun family book Watership Down.
36
00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.840
You know it's family friendly because there's bunnies on the cover.
37
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.920
Did you have a just wonder if Watership Down Bunny's
38
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:04.799
ever read of Mice and Men like it was a
39
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:09.120
horror novel Ditha. It's right there, bro. Anyways, this issue
40
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.800
is amazing, honestly, not because it throws some kids on
41
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.680
a boat and has them go all dos bus. Yes,
42
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:18.240
I went with a Simpsons reference, but because at the
43
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.639
end of this issue the kids are alone, it actually
44
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.080
draws it out, and so it's not as simple. Let's
45
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:26.159
get to the cool part, because that's what most of
46
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:29.319
the tribe style stuff does. The air quote cool part
47
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.599
of the story is when we get to the societal reflections,
48
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:35.879
and most things that do adapt it or are influenced
49
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.439
by want a race to that. But this is brilliant
50
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.879
because it focuses on our main characters via her brother
51
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.719
Royce and their relationship before the cruise, because well, honestly,
52
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:48.319
that's what actually makes you care. It'd be one thing
53
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:50.479
to see when Royce punches out a dude who'd made
54
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:52.800
fun of his sister on the boat, but then seeing
55
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:56.120
how it happened in the past when he didn't protect
56
00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:00.159
her really works, and adding the emotions of their mother's
57
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:03.039
death and then it all just works out so well.
58
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.840
Plus Carson is a tool who deserves to be punched,
59
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.400
but goddamn is he a well written asshole of a team.
60
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.599
Oh and the art style is also awesome in that
61
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.120
comic book realism way, not to be confused with a
62
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:19.240
comic with realistic art that makes sense in my head.
63
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.840
It's really hard to convey a lot of this audio.
64
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:27.360
Only top tier all across the board regardless. So my
65
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.960
verdict for this book is by it. By it means
66
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.159
it is absolutely worth going out and owning it, both
67
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.280
physical and digital and add it to your pull list.
68
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.599
Issue one is a great setup for the real shadows
69
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:43.719
and tall trees. Yes, I'm ending this with a YouTube reference.
70
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.199
Sue me, please, don't. I have no money just comics
71
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.560
at this point. How do I end this? Something something
72
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.479
the Coral Island? But maybe I'm wrong. Let me know
73
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.840
what your thoughts about this comic were over on Facebook
74
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.520
at the Comic Archivist or Twitter First Issues Now or
75
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.479
blue Sky at AJAC does it all? Don't forget to
76
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:06.759
like share following to all this stuff that I'm being
77
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:10.360
told is important to continue doing these and while you're
78
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.919
at it, check out all the other podcasts from carry
79
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.680
On Productions like Killing fifteen minutes, Mithing fifteen minutes, and
80
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.959
Blanking fifteen minutes. They're all pretty sweet in their own
81
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.480
way more than anything, though, stay golden Inklings.
