Hello, and welcome to First Issues, now, the weekly show
2
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:07.400
posted daily ish about only the newest first issues released
3
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:11.080
by insert comic company. Here this week, I'll be looking
4
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:13.400
at the comics release for the week of November twelfth,
5
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:16.879
twenty twenty five. I feel like I should start this
6
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:20.079
by saying that I started the comics restoration project so
7
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.239
that I could make full size posters on the cover
8
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:25.719
and first pages of Daredevil Battles Hitler. I even actually
9
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.399
finished inking the first story in that before life got
10
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:30.320
in the way and I kind of had to drop
11
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:33.840
the project. I only say that because Peter Cannon Thunderbolt
12
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.000
is just a renamed Daredevil, a character that existed before
13
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:40.079
Marvel's Daredevil. But well, you can't exactly trademark the old
14
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:42.920
Daredevil when Marvel already had that right for like the
15
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.840
last fifty years. Okay, now, I'm not going to talk
16
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:48.000
comic history throughout the rest of this. I just wanted
17
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:50.479
to let all that down. Comic must stand on its own.
18
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:55.759
This is Peter Cannon Thunderbolt number one, written by Fred Valenti,
19
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.560
art by Jonathan Looe, colors by Andrew Dollhouse, with letters
20
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.520
by Jeff Jackleberry. Peter Cannon his back and fist and

and Ascended artist Jonathan Lao An Ascended artist Jonathan Lao.
24
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:18.159
As a child, Peter Cannon grew up in a secluded
25
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:23.519
culture of the Awakened, an isolated movement blending New Age psychology,
26
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:28.359
an isolated movement blending New Age psychology, Tibetan Buddhism, extreme fitness,
27
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:32.079
and other esoteric disciplines. But when a mass suicide wiped
28
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.000
out almost all of the Awakened followers, an orphan and
29
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:37.400
abandoned Peter was left to find his own way in
30
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.959
the world. Now, years later, the last surviving member of
31
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:43.959
a mysterious mystical order arrives in New York City on

Cannon. But taking out the fabled
34
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:54.680
lightning vessel of the Awakened is easier said than done,
35
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:58.439
especially considered that Cannon's mind and body perfected moves can
36
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:02.159
collapse time and defy death itself. First off, thank you
37
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:05.280
Fred for writing this in there wasn't any kool aid.
38
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.479
It was flavor aid. Actually, that reminds me we need
39
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.159
to cover the People's Temple over on killing fifteen minutes. Awkwardly,
40
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.280
I'm also writing this review on the anniversary of the
41
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:18.000
Jonestown Masacer November eighteenth. Neat. None of that matters. I
42
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:21.039
just thought it was neat Anyways, Yes, that solicity is
43
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:25.280
basically the whole plot, although technically this issue is mostly
44
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:28.280
Peter getting the money to become a millionaire from a
45
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.280
domestic terrorist cell that was planning on abducting the Governor
46
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:33.719
of New York. Then he goes about doing his thing,
47
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:35.879
getting a car and looking into buying the old mansion
48
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:37.840
that once was the compound of the awaken and then
49
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:39.960
he goes to talk to an old friend from when
50
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.120
they were kids, but she didn't die in the Awakened
51
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:44.960
suicides before the CEO of the company of the party
52
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.719
that he crashed to talk to her comes out and
53
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:52.360
it's Peter Cannon. That is a hell of a first issue,
54
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:56.439
and yes, another fantastic first issue from Dynamite. What can
55
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.719
I say, Outside of some of the one shots, they've
56
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.680
been knocking it out of the park with their ongoing series.
57
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.479
Peter Cannon is a fantastic character and this reimagined take
58
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.599
on him is great at least in this showing. I mean,
59
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.520
it doesn't show the biggest range of character for him,
60
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.199
but it does set up for some wicked good adventures
61
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:16.439
down the road. And of course, what can I say
62
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.080
about the art besides Jonathan Loo is brilliant when it
63
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.840
comes to fight scenes. Their fluid and dynamic, kinetic and honestly,
64
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:24.560
the best way I can say this is that on
65
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:27.919
my Twitter First Issues now, I've posted a couple panels
66
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.039
that showed a move that would be in every martial
67
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:33.360
arts movie but is rarely in comics, where during a
68
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.439
fight scene the one at the Galla that I was
69
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.120
talking about, Peter gets grabbed by his blazer and he
70
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.319
slips out of it. It is a great show of
71
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.800
both the fluidity of Lao's art, but also there's actually
72
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:48.000
action in the action scenes instead of powerful panels of punching,
73
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.840
especially since Peter likes to use his feet. So my
74
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.800
verdict for this is absolutely collected. Collect It means that
75
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:56.879
you should have the book on your pull list, both
76
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.680
digitally and physically. You should absolutely be looking at all
77
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:01.719
of the variants and getting the one that you like,
78
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.199
or buy it in bundles like me because I'm a masochist.
79
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.800
And hey, they've done other renditions of the characters too,
80
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.319
so it could be interesting if you check those out
81
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.360
and see how it was handled in the past. I
82
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:13.719
do still try and give you guys some history, even
83
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:18.120
if I'm not doing those shows anymore. But maybe I'm wrong.
84
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:20.480
Let me know what your thoughts of this issue are
85
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:23.879

do all the stuff that I'm being told is important
89
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.319
to continue doing these and while you're at it, check
90
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:37.519
out the other podcast from carry On productions like Killing
91
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:41.279
fifteen minutes, Mything fifteen minutes, and Blanking fifteen minutes. They're
92
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:44.519
all pretty sweet in their own way, more than anything though,
93
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:46.000
