00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:02.879
Hello, and welcome to First Issues Now, the weekly show
2
00:00:02.919 --> 00:00:06.639
posted daily about only the newest first issues released by
3
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:09.720
the insert comic company. Here this week, I'll be looking
4
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:12.560
at the comics released for the week of July second,
5
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:16.039
twenty twenty five. Now, as someone who's always said how
6
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.079
much I like anthology books, I really can't complain about
7
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:21.399
a book that has three stories for the price of Well,
8
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:23.160
that's not the point, and we'll be getting over to that.
9
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:27.320
So let's get into Marvel's zero number one, with three
10
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:31.160
stories to all cover the creative teams individually. The first
11
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:34.880
story is Fantastic Four Strange New World, written by Ryan
12
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:38.920
North or by Humbout Ramos, colors by Edgar Delgado, and
13
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:43.479
letters by VC's Joe Kara Magna. The Fantastic Four we're
14
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.960
testing out their new teleporter when they accidentally get summoned
15
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.159
to an alien sleepover because of a summoning circle that
16
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.880
was the same harmonic residence or something like that. It's funny,
17
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.560
it's light, and there's a really nice action set piece
18
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.200
of Marvel's first family as they fight the real things
19
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.039
that were summoned before we're leaving. Then we have giant
20
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:07.120
sized X men, the general written by Jackson Lansing and
21
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:12.239
Colin Kelly Arpa Abanacuela, colors by Brian Reeber, and letters
22
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.359
by VC's Clayton Cowells. We actually go all the way
23
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.920
back to the giant sized X Men days as Cyclops
24
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:20.400
the only one who survived the battle with I think
25
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:23.799
it was Krakoa actually, as he tests out the newly
26
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:29.400
arrived replacement team you know the team, I mean Thunderbird, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Storm, Banshee,
27
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:33.400
Sunfire and Colossus. Yeah, he kicks all of their asses
28
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.359
since their brand new recruits, and Scott Summers is the
29
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.040
original of Xavier's Child Soldiers. But on the plus side,
30
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:43.079
no one mentioned that failed Vulcan team, although I don't
31
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:45.359
think that actually exists in the six one six anymore.
32
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.439
I don't know, not that that really matters, since this
33
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.640
ends with Miss Marvel as in Kamala Khan coming out
34
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.480
because apparently she's here in the past now. And finally
35
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.799
we get a quick little fun one shot with Chipzardsky
36
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:04.480
writing a Wolverine and Deadpool popularity contest and VC's Joe
37
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.840
Cara Magna was on lettering on that it's a fun
38
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.039
little romp with an upsetting ending that means we won't
39
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.960
get dead Veren and Wolverpool killing Paul. I love chips,
40
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.840
so this is a fun quickie out of Cannon. Not
41
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:19.199
the versions anyone knows of for the characters, but I
42
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.879
do actually like the outfits. Anyways, this came out for
43
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:25.560
Free Comic Book Day and now it's seven dollars. See.
44
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.240
I think that's absolutely already putting into perspective why there's
45
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.759
been a negative backlash that I've at least seen over
46
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.080
on League of Comic Geeks and on Twitter for instance.
47
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.000
For reference, if we were only going with YouTube ad
48
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.919
sense revenue on average, it would take about seven thousand
49
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.159
listens to cover the price of this comment. Granted, I
50
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.400
don't even know what the hell ad sense pays out anymore.
51
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:50.960
It's been a while since I've been monetized on YouTube. Well,
52
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.479
I absolutely think these stories are great and by writers
53
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:57.280
who know how to be entertaining. I think the verdict
54
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:02.080
here is going to be contentious. A read it, read
55
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.599
it means that it is worth reading. But at the
56
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.439
same time, I'm going to add a huge asterisk to
57
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.520
the official scorecard because it is also quite ignorable. If
58
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.159
you aren't getting everything hell, I'd say that it'd be
59
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:19.039
better to spend these seven dollars on the FCBD packs
60
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:22.639
that people sell on eBay, but maybe I'm wrong. Comics
61
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.080
are an amazing medium to talk about, so please let
62
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.680
me know what your thoughts on this issue are over
63
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.840
on Facebook at the Comic Archivist or on Twitter at
64
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.400
AJAC underscore does it All or Blue Sky at AJC
65
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.080
does it All without any Underscore. Don't forget to like, share, follow,
66
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.080
and do all this stuff that I'm being told is
67
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:43.840
important to continue doing these and more than anything though,
68
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:45.199
stay Golden Inklings.
