Hello, and welcome to First Issues now, the weekly show
2
00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:07.719
posted daily ish about only the newest first issues released
3
00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:11.199
by insert comic company. Here this week, I'll be looking
4
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:13.919
at the comics released for the week of August thirteenth,
5
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:18.320
twenty twenty five, So for continuity's sake, these events take
6
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:21.719
place after the Yacht Jah Hunted, Wolverine, Black Panther, and
7
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.879
most recently Spider Man. No. I haven't read any of
8
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:27.760
those yet, but I have read a metric ton of comics,
9
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:30.839
novels and fan fix for Predator, so I've got this
10
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:36.000
all right. Comic time. This is Predator Kills the Marvel Universe,
11
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:40.560
Number one, written by Benjamin Percy, Pencils by Marcello Ferrera,
12
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:44.119
Inks by Jay Leiston and Daniel Piccato doing both, and
13
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:49.200
Daniel Piciato doing both. Colors by Frank Darmatta, with letters
14
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.520
by VC's Clayton Cowles. There's a lot of people killing
15
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.880
the Marvel Universe lately, hasn't there been? Okay? So it
16
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.479
opens with the gardens the Galaxy being killed, which I
17
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:01.799
feel goes by way too fast. We see Predator X,
18
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.400
which I believe as a government experiment making a weapon
19
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.959
X project out of a yacht ja, although it also
20
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.239
be a very different part of the Weapons Plus program
21
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:12.519
since they're way past their tenth incarnation, just to be
22
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:14.599
a nerd about that. And then we cut to the
23
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.959
blue side of the Moon where the Fantastic Four are
24
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:20.120
enjoying a nice drink in their observation bubble. They're just
25
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:24.599
talking when suddenly Mister Fantastic's arm gets blown off human torture.
26
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.640
The Thing are also soundly defeated, while the Invisible Woman
27
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.319
is there left holding her bleeding out husband. The Predators
28
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:35.319
have landed on the moon. Done, done, done. Look, I'm
29
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.079
gonna be real, I actually really hate the notion behind
30
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:40.879
the kills the Marvel Universe stuff. Now. Don't get me wrong,
31
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.000
I don't mind the Godzilla Destroys series or even this
32
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.519
for the most part, but it always actually annoys me
33
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.239
because I'm sorry, the Fantastic Four would wipe the floor
34
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:53.519
with three Predators and Craven the fucking Hunter. Oh right,
35
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:56.040
This whole thing is predicated on Craven the Hunter becoming
36
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.560
a blooded yacht jah warrior during or after the Versus
37
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.959
Spider book. But I can see the Guardians being surprised
38
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.920
enough to get ganked. But The Fantastic Four were very
39
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.439
much in a hardcore facility that they designed, I think,
40
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.360
and mister Fantastic was even saying there was a higher
41
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.800
alert due to the doomsday calculations or something like that.
42
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.639
Maybe it was hubris, as it often is, but come on,
43
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.240
but that is the problem I have with books that
44
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:24.080
dot the we're really here just to see how everyone dies,
45
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:29.080
because it's like, yeah, but no, that's not how it goes. Like,
46
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.360
let's be clear, the Punisher killing the Marvel universe. He
47
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.039
couldn't even gank a quarter of the Marvel Universe. Even
48
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.800
the street level characters would hurt him. That being said, well,
49
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.520
I always find the kill everyone gimmick kind of hokey.
50
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.080
I am also nothing if not a hypocrite because it's Predators,
51
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.319
my dude. It's a gimmick that sticks around because it's
52
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.319
fucking great to see star Lord get his chest blasted
53
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.800
by a plasma shop or watch the Human Torch get
54
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:59.280
eroded and then explode. It's over the top fun. Now, granted,
55
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.199
the art is a hyperrealistic gore, although yes, there is
56
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:06.039
gratuitous amounts of blood and it is pretty vibrant. Yes,
57
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.080
I couldn't get nerdy, nitpicky about it, but this is
58
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.080
a shut off and escape. These sorts of comics are
59
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.439
a trip to markar Riteville. You may indeed have some fun,
60
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:20.360
care free times, but other times you may just become
61
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.120
Eddie Burback. Luckily, I didn't read any of the stuff
62
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.759
before this, so it's still fresh, and that leads me
63
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:29.000
to my verdict. My verdict for Predator Kills the Marvel
64
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:33.639
Universe is, in fact, pull it. Pull it means well,
65
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.000
it should be on your pull list. It is a
66
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.840
fun read, there's some great character moments, even it is
67
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:41.599
just to set up what goes on in the future.
68
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:43.560
I'd also say that if you do like these kind
69
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.159
of stories, then is definitely worth a full buy it
70
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.039
since having a physical copy of it is just a
71
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.639
nice thing to have. And the variants of this are
72
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.560
also really really good covers. That Gabrielle del Auto cover
73
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:59.919
is poster worthy. But maybe I'm wrong. Let me know
74
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.280
about what you thought of this issue over on Facebook
75
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:07.479
at the Comic Archivist or Twitter at ajac underscore does
76
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.319
it All or Blue Sky at ajac does it All
77
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.560
without any Underscore. Don't forget to like, share, follow, and
78
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.919
do all the stuff that I'm being told is important
79
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:19.839
to keep continuing doing these episodes, and more than anything though,
80
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:21.240
