00:08.765 --> 00:11.226
[SPEAKER_01]: What is that everybody welcome to the stack on Alex?
00:11.567 --> 00:12.147
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm Justin.
00:12.487 --> 00:12.967
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm Pete.
00:13.328 --> 00:16.830
[SPEAKER_01]: Add all the stack we talk about a bunch of books that we have read this week.
00:16.890 --> 00:18.310
[SPEAKER_01]: Comic books in fact.
00:18.450 --> 00:19.131
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no!
00:19.171 --> 00:21.132
[SPEAKER_01]: This is spicy stack.
00:21.172 --> 00:21.932
[SPEAKER_01]: I get a save.
00:22.693 --> 00:28.256
[SPEAKER_02]: As soon as I was reading these books, I was looking for rarely am I like, thinking about doing the stack.
00:28.616 --> 00:31.456
[SPEAKER_01]: But this stack, I was like, yeah, no, I was too.
00:31.517 --> 00:33.477
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we're going to get right into it in a second.
00:33.537 --> 00:40.378
[SPEAKER_01]: Before we do though, two things I'll mention right up at the top of the end of the podcast, we are going to do our pick of the week, things.
00:40.418 --> 00:47.159
[SPEAKER_01]: If we had five bucks or rather you, the listener viewer had five bucks, we would recommend you go into a comic book shop and pick up.
00:47.539 --> 00:54.660
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the other thing is spoiler warning here, because we're going to be talking about everything, full spoilers about all of the books.
00:54.720 --> 00:57.801
[SPEAKER_01]: If you don't want to know, go away until you've read them.
00:58.261 --> 01:00.502
[SPEAKER_01]: Kicking off a way, spoiler your blind.
01:00.542 --> 01:01.742
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll go away and then come back.
01:01.822 --> 01:17.008
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Avengers number one from Marvel, written by Chip Starsky, art by Marco Chichetto, this picking up a right off of the end of Avengers Armageddon, as well as the current run on Spider-Man, kind of important to have read that, because there's some big plot points that go down here.
01:17.568 --> 01:22.490
[SPEAKER_01]: But once again, in the aftermath of a global event, the Avengers have disbanded.
01:22.850 --> 01:26.311
[SPEAKER_01]: Tony Stark has left town, Bucky is far as everybody knows dead.
01:26.731 --> 01:39.576
[SPEAKER_01]: Cap is off doing his own thing, and the world has banned superheroes except for the United States, which is what our team here on the cover, which is Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Wolverine, Daredevil.
01:40.056 --> 01:51.544
[SPEAKER_01]: Captain Marvel, who has been severely de-powered after Armageddon and Miracleman, aka David Colton, are all dealing with the most important person in the entire world.
01:51.884 --> 02:02.471
[SPEAKER_01]: The other big plot point that we're dealing with this first part of this first arc is in the Captain America arc by Chip Sedarsky, Mufisto was kicked out of hell.
02:08.695 --> 02:14.077
[SPEAKER_01]: are now knowing which is what we're dealing with here, uh, so some big stuff goes down.
02:14.157 --> 02:17.018
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure we're going to

get right into it and probably talking about it.
02:17.078 --> 02:21.600
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's going to be about baby.
02:21.720 --> 02:23.841
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm waiting years for this.
02:24.462 --> 02:26.242
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on.
02:26.422 --> 02:27.263
[SPEAKER_00]: I've called it.
02:27.723 --> 02:28.623
[SPEAKER_01]: I've called it.
02:29.083 --> 02:30.884
[SPEAKER_01]: Pete, you know, this is bait first of all.
02:30.944 --> 02:32.525
[SPEAKER_01]: Second of all, Justin, what were you going to say?
02:33.177 --> 02:34.978
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, there's, there's a lot to talk about.
02:34.998 --> 02:35.838
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot to talk about.
02:35.858 --> 02:37.159
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot to talk about.
02:37.419 --> 02:46.423
[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing speaks more to how humans have deep loving relationships than a contract expiring.
02:46.623 --> 02:49.084
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I'm really hoping.
02:49.184 --> 03:00.069
[SPEAKER_02]: Pete, of course, is so excited because famously, Peter Parker signed a contract with Mufisto to give up his marriage for his aunt, which the more he, I say it, the more fucked up that is.
03:01.369 --> 03:09.154
[SPEAKER_02]: from a interpersonal relationship way, but I can't believe how hard this first issue goes and being like, remember that?
03:09.874 --> 03:12.456
[SPEAKER_02]: Peter Parker's married again by contract with the devil.
03:12.476 --> 03:13.156
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, that's not.
03:13.176 --> 03:14.277
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, okay, here's the thing that they don't get into.
03:14.297 --> 03:14.757
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't get into it.
03:14.777 --> 03:26.564
[SPEAKER_00]: Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a
03:26.844 --> 03:35.389
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so we'll crush him after a second take over leading hell and Mufisto of a sudden disappeared.
03:35.629 --> 03:43.253
[SPEAKER_00]: I said hey, wait a second guys that means that the contract that spider-man made and you guys Look at all that crazy
03:46.915 --> 03:59.859
[SPEAKER_00]: It turns out assholes, I was right, and I fucking called it, and now what I've been waiting at seven years, I don't know how long it's finally, but you don't believe me, you don't be in peace.
04:00.019 --> 04:11.202
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't make deals with the devil, man, that's not what you should do, and now it's finally going to get undone, and I am so excited, and I just couldn't believe what I was reading this comic.
04:11.802 --> 04:13.663
[SPEAKER_00]: I jumped up and down, it was like,
04:13.903 --> 04:16.203
[SPEAKER_00]: you want to talk about I can't wait for the stack.
04:16.624 --> 04:25.665
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like oh it's fucking hot baby and there I saw it's at the top of the stack and I was like yes I'll have a try and yeah let's talk about it.
04:26.305 --> 04:40.628
[SPEAKER_00]: Taking years of the making my Marvel's finally right kind of when the you just mistakes they've ever made this is a comic book and I can't believe it's happening and it's glorious okay so I'll be talking about what's happening.
04:43.808 --> 05:02.016
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, so here's the thing, is what they do acknowledge in this issue is Peter Parker finally remembers that he made a deal with Befisto, and that is definitely a board, like that is a big change in terms of what's been happening for 15 years because he hasn't put a word of it.
05:02.376 --> 05:08.919
[SPEAKER_01]: He realizes that, of course, the only thing that he would have made a deal with is to save and make his life.
05:09.319 --> 05:19.207
[SPEAKER_01]: the thing that's complicating that is due to events over an amazing spiderbed at made does not remember Peter Parker right now, but he realizes that he needs to go safer.
05:19.287 --> 05:22.069
[SPEAKER_01]: What's not brought up in this issue is the marriage.
05:22.390 --> 05:24.371
[SPEAKER_01]: And what's not totally clear,
05:25.432 --> 05:36.256
[SPEAKER_01]: is how this breaking the contracts work because it does through we get to see a guy who wanted to live forever and he's immediately made old ad dies when the contract is broken.
05:36.376 --> 05:39.437
[SPEAKER_01]: We see a couple of other things like that.
05:39.697 --> 05:42.298
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, pretty clear instant ramifications.
05:42.478 --> 05:46.679
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, instant ramification of like you are not going to be old that's taken.
05:46.779 --> 05:50.360
[SPEAKER_01]: Like what we don't necessarily see which we are getting a parallel for
05:54.982 --> 06:02.830
[SPEAKER_01]: We see that these angel-type characters are coming for Anne May to kill her to null-envoy the contract.
06:03.170 --> 06:06.313
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't see what happened for the thing that somebody traded.
06:06.934 --> 06:11.298
[SPEAKER_01]: And we see this also with a young girl who were told to her parents.
06:11.379 --> 06:13.260
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't know exactly the circumstances.
06:13.981 --> 06:15.483
[SPEAKER_01]: It seems like wanted a daughter.
06:15.983 --> 06:28.092
[SPEAKER_01]: got a daughter by making a pack with mefisto, they knew about it, they had a way to stop it because they were planning for the day when mefisto broke the contractor, something like that, and so Spider-Man meets up with this girl.
06:28.813 --> 06:32.655
[SPEAKER_01]: So I would venture, this is just my guest based on this issue, and I'm sorry, Pete.
06:33.136 --> 06:41.382
[SPEAKER_01]: I think what's happening is at some point, somehow Spider-Man is going to figure out a way to make another deal to save this girl's life.
06:43.275 --> 06:47.956
[SPEAKER_01]: And that is not is he's still not going to have the marriage at the end of this.
06:48.056 --> 06:52.637
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'll tell you what the fuck that's out of left field, bro.
06:53.017 --> 06:56.798
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't fucking I just I can't even have a whole issue.
06:57.138 --> 06:59.919
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't even give me one at the whole issue.
06:59.939 --> 07:00.979
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm free in the pizza.
07:00.999 --> 07:01.879
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, please.
07:01.919 --> 07:02.980
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a lot.
07:03.000 --> 07:03.640
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, Neil.
07:04.380 --> 07:08.021
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I think there's just so many complicated things to deal with here.
07:08.876 --> 07:22.790
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, first off, why didn't the Fisto make the deal with a hell as an underwriter rather than just make it sign it directly over to him because that's just bad business relationships I would argue.
07:23.591 --> 07:24.832
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, so huge mistake there.
07:25.412 --> 07:29.677
[SPEAKER_02]: Second, great time to cut ties with an aunt when she doesn't know you are like you.
07:30.197 --> 07:53.575
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he's like, oh, he
07:54.417 --> 07:55.158
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, number one predict.
07:55.178 --> 07:56.198
[SPEAKER_01]: What would you do, P?
07:56.459 --> 08:01.442
[SPEAKER_01]: You get the marriage back, but in the process, spiderbed to capitates that may with an angel sword.
08:01.482 --> 08:02.263
[SPEAKER_01]: How do you feel about that?
08:02.523 --> 08:04.004
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't feel good about that at all.
08:05.345 --> 08:22.438
[SPEAKER_02]: The other crazy thing, specifically in this issue of the Mary Jane is, when this first happened 15 years ago, I feel like we were like, oh, this is so complicated and feels like it's a meta-rack con while at the same time being a very high profile story that was interesting,
08:23.318 --> 08:39.522
[SPEAKER_02]: Just like left us with questions now that we're sort of unraveling it at least a little bit It leaves even more complicated questions like you undo a marriage that didn't technically undo their feelings But they did split up at the in the past.
08:39.662 --> 08:51.165
[SPEAKER_02]: They've been quite separate We have another issue in the stack of where to talk about where Mary Jane doesn't even maybe say the word
Peter Parker out loud While she's living her own life and maybe having another relationship with someone else
08:53.438 --> 08:57.473
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not like this contract was about their feelings for each other at all, in fact.
08:57.874 --> 08:58.115
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
08:58.950 --> 08:59.631
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know.
08:59.671 --> 09:11.859
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, there's a lot of stuff going on here, and we haven't even really other than this talked about the issue, which otherwise does spend a lot of time with these characters dealing with the fallout of Armageddon, how they feel about it.
09:12.300 --> 09:18.204
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the eve of the mayor election in New York City, so the pages mayorship is on the line.
09:18.624 --> 09:25.369
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a little bit of a flirtation going on with their devil in Captain Marvel, who is once again being attempted by
09:25.589 --> 09:50.628
[SPEAKER_01]: alcohol after her troubles and Wolverine has a relationship with David Colton who is trying to figure out when her his powers come out from and what's going on with him so there's a lot of different stories that are being juggled in here other than the whole Mary Jane Spider-Man of it all how did you feel about this issue how did you feel about this comic how did this work as a kickoff to an Avengers comic in particular.
09:51.124 --> 09:52.465
[SPEAKER_02]: As a whole, I really like this.
09:52.725 --> 10:01.111
[SPEAKER_02]: This had the feeling of the classic new Avengers Reset, that this feels a little bit at least in conversation with.
10:01.331 --> 10:02.712
[SPEAKER_02]: I like this team coming together.
10:02.752 --> 10:08.717
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels very organic, like the original Avengers, where they're coming together because of a situation.
10:09.277 --> 10:14.840
[SPEAKER_02]: where it honestly doesn't make much sense for them to do what they're doing because it's bad for sort of all of them.
10:14.980 --> 10:17.281
[SPEAKER_02]: There's anti-superhero hysteria going around.
10:17.601 --> 10:19.002
[SPEAKER_02]: Luke Cage is trying to win office.
10:19.062 --> 10:20.843
[SPEAKER_02]: He shouldn't be fighting on the streets.
10:21.543 --> 10:24.644
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's just a great call to heroic action here.
10:25.065 --> 10:31.548
[SPEAKER_02]: I really like Captain Marvel in this, a character that I feel like we talked about this a little bit in our discord, but like
10:32.348 --> 10:52.615
[SPEAKER_02]: She's depowered and it feels a little trolley to depower her and I get that 100% as a if that's what this is coming from I don't love it from a meta message board response story telling idea, but within the story I thought carolism is really I like her arc that begins here of her being like
10:53.295 --> 10:55.577
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow, I just went through something really harrowing.
10:55.657 --> 10:56.638
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what I'm doing.
10:56.778 --> 11:11.953
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm really low And her stepping into the hero role here is just I thought really nice The David Colton of it all feels like another character where I'm like oh, we really are wanting David Colton to be something is Marvel's telling us he should be something here
11:12.712 --> 11:15.476
[SPEAKER_02]: But the Wolverine relationship are already interesting.
11:16.157 --> 11:26.492
[SPEAKER_02]: The thing that's established in the previous story of there being another miracle man on in 616 because David Colden has the miracle man powers from the ultimate universe.
11:27.410 --> 11:28.171
[SPEAKER_02]: what is that about?
11:28.271 --> 11:29.532
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why they complicated.
11:29.552 --> 11:30.533
[SPEAKER_02]: Are we going to deal with that?
11:30.994 --> 11:37.860
[SPEAKER_02]: Because there's been some speculation that that is bucky somehow and that's going to become this other storyline in a few months in January.
11:38.301 --> 11:45.868
[SPEAKER_02]: So like there's just so much going on but this story feels like it's on a nice island setting the stage and bringing these characters together.
11:45.968 --> 11:50.172
[SPEAKER_02]: Let alone we get this Daredevil Captain Marvel moment that I thought was awesome as well.
11:53.408 --> 12:05.832
[SPEAKER_00]: I was just going to say it was interesting like I'm losing my shit reading this so it was hard to kind of focus on the other things happening But I'm very excited to see where this is going to go.
12:06.812 --> 12:17.556
[SPEAKER_00]: I also just thought it was weird how Wolverine was being coy with like Why need you to say like I have a miracle man tracker you know you mean like it was such it would like hey Wolverine what's that nothing
12:22.651 --> 12:26.653
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a weird thing to be like, oh, I don't mind your business.
12:27.214 --> 12:30.256
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I don't know how to weird stuff in his pocket, honestly.
12:30.796 --> 12:31.877
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was kind of funny.
12:31.897 --> 12:35.339
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, who else is old enough to know who Miracle Man is?
12:35.439 --> 12:37.300
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Wolverine, we'll put them together.
12:37.380 --> 12:38.961
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
12:38.981 --> 12:41.362
[SPEAKER_00]: I just throw out there and just carve out.
12:41.422 --> 12:42.223
[SPEAKER_00]: It's great, though.
12:42.323 --> 12:47.886
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, just to wrap up this discussion about Avengers, we've talked about this,
12:51.831 --> 13:12.163
[SPEAKER_01]: Avengers on the Marvel side, Justice League on the DC Shah side should feel like or be the center of those universes, and so rarely are they, and I imagine at least part of that is juggling all of these pieces when you have, say, seven characters on a team or something like that, and they're all at individual books.
13:12.684 --> 13:19.227
[SPEAKER_01]: All of those individual books plotlines take priority, and ultimately the team book like kind of goes down to the second level,
which sucks.
13:20.268 --> 13:28.771
[SPEAKER_01]: So I spent most of this issue being like, do we have a central Avengers book because Chip Sedarski has talked about that, that's what he wants this book to be.
13:28.791 --> 13:34.173
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm reading most of the issue feeling like, oh, we're doing another mythist as to relying, I don't know if that's it.
13:34.393 --> 13:35.694
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, New York's in trouble.
13:35.814 --> 13:37.094
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not quite sure if that's it.
13:37.935 --> 13:42.797
[SPEAKER_01]: But the end of the issue, we are poking the bear of one more day.
13:43.837 --> 14:11.057
[SPEAKER_01]: if that's the idea of this book if he has a list of like all the third rail things with marvel words like maybe don't touch that maybe don't do that thing and that's what this book becomes that I think is good because that makes it and I hesitate to use this word but that makes it feel important and big because it's doing things that are dangerous that you shouldn't be doing obviously it depends on how the outcome of this particular arc and I'm assuming a lot
14:12.978 --> 14:15.019
[SPEAKER_01]: But I do hope that's the place this lives at.
14:15.280 --> 14:22.524
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and I think we talk about this a lot where it feels like Marvel in the last two or three years hasn't been making a lot of bold choices.
14:22.564 --> 14:27.167
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, DC on the other side of the fence to make the comparison has.
14:27.327 --> 14:35.452
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels like they're prioritizing bigger creative swings, really making booms that feel fun, big, and just propulsive.
14:36.033 --> 14:40.336
[SPEAKER_02]: This book, I think, is the first book in a while I've seen that capitalizes on that.
14:43.045 --> 14:45.746
[SPEAKER_02]: And just the fact that I agree with you, they are finding some edges here.
14:46.146 --> 14:54.709
[SPEAKER_02]: But also, they're just wrapping current editorial into all of this, which isn't always happening in the main Avengers book.
14:54.889 --> 14:59.251
[SPEAKER_02]: And to have these characters feel like this is the current book for them is good.
14:59.351 --> 15:00.771
[SPEAKER_02]: And it makes it feel important.
15:01.472 --> 15:04.213
[SPEAKER_01]: So, by the way, can I throw out the most likely possibility?
15:04.353 --> 15:07.974
[SPEAKER_01]: I think for what happens, we have the end of this arc, Pete, that you're gonna hate.
15:08.699 --> 15:09.039
[SPEAKER_01]: you're ready.
15:09.439 --> 15:11.119
[SPEAKER_01]: Why are you trying to predict something?
15:12.300 --> 15:20.381
[SPEAKER_01]: I bet at the end of this arc Spider-Man does remember the barrage, but can't bring himself to tell Barry J.
15:20.761 --> 15:22.602
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's the place where she remember.
15:23.642 --> 15:24.102
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
15:24.402 --> 15:26.923
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think about something, but he goes about it.
15:26.943 --> 15:28.323
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, I can't do it.
15:28.463 --> 15:30.923
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't tell her it's all fairies matter.
15:30.943 --> 15:32.204
[SPEAKER_00]: That they used to be married.
15:32.224 --> 15:33.104
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
15:33.184 --> 15:37.825
[SPEAKER_02]: It's very Spider-Man to be sure that by the idea together and not know how to
15:39.523 --> 15:48.887
[SPEAKER_02]: The shame of it is, I just really like what Joe Kelly's doing with Spider-Man, and I really like his potential relationship that he is going to sell to that bullshit.
15:49.927 --> 15:53.628
[SPEAKER_00]: I grew through Zalbetron that I think that this is great.
15:53.888 --> 16:04.692
[SPEAKER_00]: I think for comics when a kind of a bigger team can be the center for these characters and all the shit's happening in this book and then can kind of echo out the owns.
16:08.834 --> 16:10.895
[SPEAKER_00]: that continues to be where they're kind of going.
16:11.495 --> 16:18.858
[SPEAKER_02]: I made a washcloth rabbit for my third great girlfriend, Reannon, and just the other day, I tore it to pieces.
16:19.518 --> 16:22.179
[SPEAKER_02]: Does that contract broken in my finally?
16:22.959 --> 16:23.959
[SPEAKER_00]: Do it free for life?
16:24.080 --> 16:24.740
[SPEAKER_00]: No, about this.
16:24.780 --> 16:25.380
[SPEAKER_00]: What is going on?
16:25.420 --> 16:25.740
[SPEAKER_00]: Why does she?
16:25.860 --> 16:26.440
[SPEAKER_02]: She doesn't.
16:26.740 --> 16:28.121
[SPEAKER_02]: She doesn't know about the washcloth bunny.
16:28.201 --> 16:31.922
[SPEAKER_02]: Why would you hold on to something you had to die at when you did that, right?
16:32.402 --> 16:34.043
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, that was the deal, I mean.
16:34.863 --> 16:36.084
[SPEAKER_02]: So, don't make deals with the devil.
16:37.093 --> 16:39.695
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, do whatever you want because you're a couple deals.
16:39.715 --> 16:41.056
[SPEAKER_01]: No couple of small deals.
16:41.496 --> 16:44.378
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't make a big deal, but like a couple of small deals with them.
16:44.398 --> 16:52.042
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, see that's how he gets you does one small deal, then they see you know you're in too deep.
16:52.222 --> 16:55.184
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, well, there seems like people are just keep taking over a hell all the time.
16:55.204 --> 16:58.046
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, there's an election last night in America.
16:58.226 --> 16:59.307
[SPEAKER_02]: There's just a change at all the time.
17:00.533 --> 17:19.798
[SPEAKER_01]: What do we move on talk about absolute superman number 25 from DC comments from my Jason is an art by one for era, carmine dn and carmine g jando many co big stuff going down here as the get brainiac arc ends with superman getting bradiac and battling him in the mind the scape for control.
17:20.918 --> 17:46.366
[SPEAKER_01]: We also get some significant movement on the Lex Luther storyline that has been bubbling at the background as Lex Luther heads off to get Bradyac on his own after
Bradyac kills his family at the behest of I don't remember whether it was the Bradyac for the main universe or the mirror master for the main universe but whatever it is they basically go to him into creating the Lex Luther over into the absolute universe.
17:46.426 --> 17:48.227
[SPEAKER_01]: Pete you've got a question right off.
17:48.527 --> 18:05.226
[SPEAKER_00]: yeah guys let's talk covers for a second because i can can see that this is a glorious cover but it's also like too much you know what i mean like seeing this my nerd brain just kind of fucking melted i was just like holy shit there's too much going on
18:06.147 --> 18:28.044
[SPEAKER_00]: on this cover it uh it just almost seems daunting because I was like how are we gonna connect all these fucking dots that James just seems like it's too much am I the only one feeling that when I see this or maybe at the book does that I feel like it does it does it does it does it pull it off which is impressive but I don't know sometimes I think less is more because this is
18:28.444 --> 18:29.305
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot going on.
18:29.365 --> 18:31.987
[SPEAKER_01]: I just was like, oh, man, this is what they've been doing.
18:32.007 --> 18:34.008
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the 25th issue of absolute Superman.
18:34.028 --> 18:35.569
[SPEAKER_01]: They did the same thing for Wonder Woman.
18:35.589 --> 18:37.110
[SPEAKER_01]: They did the same thing for Batman.
18:37.130 --> 18:38.731
[SPEAKER_01]: You loved it over in Batman.
18:38.791 --> 18:45.476
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is the graphic idea they came up with for these Kate Fold covers for these 25th issues.
18:46.777 --> 18:47.377
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
18:47.497 --> 18:51.139
[SPEAKER_02]: I love it and big question for you is what superman's wearing a caper a cloak?
18:51.179 --> 18:53.040
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I know one piece on my uniform.
18:53.060 --> 18:56.082
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, see this looks more like a cloak than a cape, you know?
18:56.102 --> 19:00.344
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and you know that because the cloak is outside the clothes and the cape is inside the clothes.
19:00.364 --> 19:00.965
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly.
19:00.985 --> 19:05.427
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this is a bigger cape that almost seems like a cloak at this point, you know?
19:05.447 --> 19:10.290
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, because we think of a cloak and dark dagger, it's, you know, he's got a whole universe under that thing.
19:10.310 --> 19:12.071
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't use cowl then you turn a cowl.
19:12.091 --> 19:14.452
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, oh, he's not, he's not cape and dagger, you know?
19:14.872 --> 19:15.573
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly.
19:15.993 --> 19:21.298
[SPEAKER_00]: But, man, the Brainiac on this cover is a fucking scary ass Brainiac.
19:21.338 --> 19:24.281
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, no quick, can I ask you a question back beat?
19:24.341 --> 19:26.683
[SPEAKER_01]: Are there any interior pages in this issue?
19:26.724 --> 19:27.704
[SPEAKER_01]: Or is it
just a cover?
19:28.025 --> 19:29.066
[SPEAKER_01]: I honestly don't remember.
19:29.166 --> 19:30.307
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, that's the thing.
19:30.367 --> 19:33.070
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all here on the cover, so why open it?
19:33.230 --> 19:33.770
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
19:33.790 --> 19:34.971
[SPEAKER_00]: You got everything right here.
19:35.332 --> 19:36.813
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, how many did read it?
19:36.873 --> 19:37.974
[SPEAKER_00]: Justin, what did you think about it?
19:37.994 --> 19:38.895
[SPEAKER_00]: How many did you read it?
19:39.956 --> 19:42.378
[SPEAKER_02]: If you guys ever opened the Mona Lisa, there's a lot of story.
19:43.759 --> 19:44.500
[SPEAKER_02]: No one opens.
19:44.680 --> 19:45.501
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
19:45.601 --> 19:46.501
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
19:46.541 --> 19:47.142
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
19:47.202 --> 19:47.762
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
19:48.123 --> 19:48.463
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't.
19:48.483 --> 19:50.945
[SPEAKER_02]: She's gonna turn the whole story.
19:51.105 --> 19:51.385
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
19:51.485 --> 19:55.649
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't read a plain thing that man flies on yet.
19:58.231 --> 19:59.132
[SPEAKER_02]: You're gonna love it.
19:59.172 --> 19:59.332
[SPEAKER_02]: Wait.
19:59.352 --> 19:59.632
[SPEAKER_02]: Hold on.
19:59.652 --> 20:00.393
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me take that back.
20:00.833 --> 20:02.554
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't read the trivia in Man yet.
20:04.032 --> 20:06.976
[SPEAKER_02]: It's crazy how many arms and legs he has he got to find out the origin.
20:07.016 --> 20:11.641
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like a spider man of some so I think this comic is great.
20:11.881 --> 20:16.767
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm I'm always beating the drum for absolute Superman a nunder another Undersung title
20:18.012 --> 20:31.856
[SPEAKER_02]: in the larger absolute universe with all the other great titles that are going on, this story weaves a heartfelt tale about Jorrell meeting his, the mother of Superman Laura, and how they are Laura, I should say.
20:32.256 --> 20:38.258
[SPEAKER_02]: We get that great connection, we get Superman fighting this great battle where the only thing that sustains is his relationships.
20:39.398 --> 20:41.418
[SPEAKER_02]: Brainiacs a great terrifying villain.
20:41.558 --> 20:43.379
[SPEAKER_02]: This book I feel like has it all.
20:44.213 --> 20:52.785
[SPEAKER_02]: and it sets Superman up to have this next probably great horrifying villain coming through in the name of excellent.
20:53.686 --> 20:57.231
[SPEAKER_00]: When it was raining, Brainiacs, that was pretty intense, you know what I mean?
20:57.511 --> 20:58.793
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I see it all over again.
21:01.366 --> 21:19.873
[SPEAKER_01]: I, what I love about this book and what I love that Jason Aaron keeps finding due ways to do is just the classic superhero thing of forcing Superman into an impossible situation where he absolutely is going to lose and give up his morals at every time
I'm like, oh boy, this is it, they're really going to corrupt up this time, but at the end of the
21:27.545 --> 21:33.995
[SPEAKER_02]: agree this one especially was very much like you ruined you fool and he's like no I'm actually fine in your room.
21:34.275 --> 21:42.367
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like wow and I'm so fast that was it was intense but you're right it is what's great about Superman but yeah
21:42.527 --> 21:52.950
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree this is a really enjoyable comic, just that I do agree with you that maybe it doesn't get enough love, but Jason Aaron's doing such a great job with this.
21:53.330 --> 22:05.433
[SPEAKER_00]: I love how we're kind of jumping around a little bit exploring the different threads here, but yeah, that Brainiac missiles was just such an intense thing to happen.
22:06.595 --> 22:07.415
[SPEAKER_00]: Pretty great stuff.
22:07.475 --> 22:15.018
[SPEAKER_01]: Next up, Archie and Hell, number one, from O'Neigh Press and Archie comics written by Patrick Corvath, Art by Tyler Crook.
22:15.398 --> 22:16.758
[SPEAKER_01]: Now we talk to both of these folks.
22:16.938 --> 22:21.260
[SPEAKER_01]: It'd visually a couple of weeks back about this book, so go back and listen to the interviews.
22:21.700 --> 22:28.922
[SPEAKER_01]: But per the title, that's not exactly what happens in this issue, which I thought was a fun little twist.
22:29.043 --> 22:32.924
[SPEAKER_01]: We're mostly following Archie going about his day and Riverdale,
22:33.624 --> 22:48.757
[SPEAKER_01]: with some pretty dark things involving a cult creeping around in the corners, so we've got a big twist at the end of the issue where it's more archiest sent to his personal hell than specifically hell itself, though we'll just have to see how that picks up an issue too.
22:49.217 --> 22:52.540
[SPEAKER_01]: Now interview us aside, what did you think about this book?
22:52.760 --> 22:58.021
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I hope they have some cool, like, varying covers and different stuff for stuff like this.
22:58.041 --> 23:00.362
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I mean, because it seems like it would be a cool idea.
23:01.162 --> 23:04.903
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, yeah, I was, uh, I thought this was a really great issue.
23:05.043 --> 23:08.004
[SPEAKER_00]: Really kind of fun, start it to this.
23:08.084 --> 23:09.044
[SPEAKER_00]: I loved the art.
23:09.164 --> 23:12.505
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was an interesting take, some real twists here.
23:13.185 --> 23:16.786
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, yeah, I'm all about, uh, Sabrina and Archie teaming up.
23:16.826 --> 23:18.046
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a great idea.
23:18.146 --> 23:22.507
[SPEAKER_00]: So we kind of get this tease the little bits all, hopefully that'll, uh, that'll happen.
23:23.689 --> 23:29.701
[SPEAKER_02]: I just love the way this story starts where it starts in full regular Archie Cannon.
23:29.761 --> 23:33.308
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I got two dates and I make it in time.
23:33.915 --> 23:36.258
[SPEAKER_02]: gets to the
accursed nature of the story.
23:36.398 --> 23:48.330
[SPEAKER_02]: I've talked about this one panel that I love so much and it's to to all the creators separately where Archie is essentially flung out of Earth into another place.
23:48.751 --> 23:55.838
[SPEAKER_02]: What we assume is some sort of hell adjacent thing, but it's presented on the in the last page reveal as a very different thing.
23:56.626 --> 24:02.171
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's really cool, but that panel, I just think it's such a beautifully done, perfectly past choice.
24:02.611 --> 24:04.833
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the art and this is great, fully on board.
24:05.794 --> 24:14.981
[SPEAKER_01]: Now that we do have all three of these O'Neigh Archie books out, Rankham Real Quicks, Sabrina, Archie and Hell and Archie.
24:15.021 --> 24:15.582
[SPEAKER_02]: Great question.
24:15.602 --> 24:19.685
[SPEAKER_02]: I actually would throw my order to be Archie, Archie and Hell Sabrina.
24:20.752 --> 24:21.712
[SPEAKER_02]: It's Archie of the top.
24:22.232 --> 24:22.492
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
24:23.153 --> 24:26.193
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that Archie book is just amazing.
24:26.273 --> 24:33.535
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels like a climactic culmination of everything that Archie has been over all these different iterations.
24:33.895 --> 24:42.657
[SPEAKER_02]: We are always shouting out Archie for all this surprising creative choices they're doing, but this book feels like it distills them all into such a great place.
24:43.157 --> 24:50.939
[SPEAKER_01]: I would put Sabrina at the top then Archie, then Archie and Helen and Archie and Helen is only at the bottom.
24:50.999 --> 25:07.364
[SPEAKER_01]: I like all three of them because it feels like if this issue things are just getting started, like we get to that twist at the end there and I'm really intrigued by issue 2, but just based on the first ones, Sabrina inducted out of the park for me, Archie, I like, I think it's good, but yeah.
25:07.915 --> 25:08.735
[SPEAKER_02]: I like all three of them.
25:08.915 --> 25:09.776
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree.
25:09.796 --> 25:10.796
[SPEAKER_00]: All three of them are great.
25:10.836 --> 25:15.097
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a little too early to tell, but I'm excited to see what's going to happen.
25:15.457 --> 25:16.297
[SPEAKER_00]: But what's at the top?
25:16.317 --> 25:16.578
[SPEAKER_00]: Pete.
25:17.138 --> 25:17.478
[SPEAKER_00]: Ranking.
25:18.538 --> 25:18.958
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
25:18.998 --> 25:20.879
[SPEAKER_00]: Man, it's too early to tell yet.
25:20.939 --> 25:22.159
[SPEAKER_02]: Ranking in spank and Pete.
25:22.179 --> 25:22.959
[SPEAKER_00]: Like what we say?

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
25:24.140 --> 25:25.260
[SPEAKER_01]: It's time for a little section.
25:25.280 --> 25:25.720
[SPEAKER_01]: Not the show.
25:25.740 --> 25:27.341
[SPEAKER_01]: We call the Ranking in spank.
25:27.501 --> 25:28.241

25:30.261 --> 25:32.322
[SPEAKER_02]: That actually is a good title for some of you guys.
25:33.674 --> 25:35.015
[SPEAKER_01]: put that in the hopper guys.
25:35.215 --> 25:36.696
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, so you're just not going to rank them.
25:36.776 --> 25:40.498
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to rank them yet the spank them or you're going to You must thank them.
25:40.818 --> 25:41.539

[SPEAKER_01]: Friendly neighborhood Mary G. Number one from Marvel Written by Ashley Allen.
26:07.334 --> 26:10.055

26:10.216 --> 26:10.796
[SPEAKER_00]: Pete, come on.
26:10.816 --> 26:13.197
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't love a little friendly neighborhood Mary Jade.
26:14.258 --> 26:14.638
[SPEAKER_00]: I do.
26:15.359 --> 26:29.414
[SPEAKER_00]: She's one of my favorite characters now you know what I mean you love a little friendly neighborhood Mary Jane you know what I'm talking about yes I do know you're talking about you're not you know full of anybody but I do think that this was messed up because
26:29.975 --> 26:33.077
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, we got him set in the cops arrested.
26:33.237 --> 26:38.400
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that the Con somebody else tiger is just sac religious.
26:38.440 --> 26:39.801
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't do that, Mary Jane.
26:39.821 --> 26:40.942
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't call flash.
26:41.502 --> 26:42.923
[SPEAKER_02]: She uses tiger all the time.
26:43.063 --> 26:43.924
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't like it.
26:45.064 --> 26:45.645
[SPEAKER_02]: She can't.
26:45.865 --> 26:46.665
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you can't.
26:47.686 --> 26:55.471
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think Justin, you know, as someone who just worked in television production, starting our own company right now, this is a tough time to start the production company.
26:55.491 --> 26:57.412
[SPEAKER_00]: You have the possibility of choice.
26:57.852 --> 27:00.634
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think there's a possibility that Mary Jane has never seen a tiger?
27:00.754 --> 27:04.876
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe like she thinks they are tigers and she's like calling them tigers.
27:05.316 --> 27:06.637
[SPEAKER_01]: She thinks humans are tigers?
27:06.797 --> 27:09.858
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, she's never been to the zoo or the circus or anything like that.
27:10.419 --> 27:11.119
[SPEAKER_01]: She's like tigers.
27:11.139 --> 27:12.500
[SPEAKER_01]: She's like a great actor.
27:12.780 --> 27:13.700
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, how come exactly?
27:13.720 --> 27:15.501
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm a facet tiger.
27:15.942 --> 27:18.523
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't believe they treat you this way at the zoo.
27:18.543 --> 27:22.305
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you think that the zoo is just hot men naked behind bars?
27:23.465 --> 27:24.126
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, isn't it?
27:25.765 --> 27:37.015
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, Mary Jane starts a production company, she's got a little venom accessory that's hanging out called Fang, she's romantic flash Thompson, and the chameleon is very slowly coming after.
27:37.075 --> 27:38.356
[SPEAKER_01]: Justin, what do you think about this one?
27:38.957 --> 27:40.078
[SPEAKER_02]: I like all the moves in this.
27:40.118 --> 27:41.179
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought this was fun.
27:41.419 --> 27:50.047
[SPEAKER_02]: I love Mary Jane as, like, deep-powered hero essentially, really showing off her heroic tendencies.
27:50.948 --> 28:00.654
[SPEAKER_02]: The amount of page dedicated to her starting a production company, I was like, okay, uh, to peace point, it's an awful time to start a production company.
28:00.674 --> 28:01.795
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a crazy idea.
28:02.195 --> 28:04.957
[SPEAKER_02]: I've had people in my life say this to me and I was like, this is bad.
28:05.157 --> 28:09.600
[SPEAKER_02]: And I wish someone was able to tell her that flash, where are you with the production company realities?
28:09.960 --> 28:18.165
[SPEAKER_02]: And this climate with uh, uh, I'll so much, uh, somebody companies merging, uh, look, look, there's a crisis when it comes to like a production like we're in the,
28:18.565 --> 28:27.244
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's like, I kind of love that she's decided to start a production company and her plan is she has a script and no money.
28:27.745 --> 28:27.926
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
28:28.347 --> 28:28.708
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's it.
28:29.559 --> 28:30.479
[SPEAKER_02]: really good.
28:30.759 --> 28:35.401
[SPEAKER_02]: I do like if she pivoted to only having AI work at her production company Peter.
28:36.181 --> 28:50.425
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm just saying like you know she's got a lot there's it's a crazy market right now you know you mean like a lot of things can sink you or make you in the production field right now and it's just I think this is a thinly veiled Justin comic.
28:50.725 --> 28:54.709
[SPEAKER_00]: where you swap out Mary Jane for Justin and it's your live story.
28:54.769 --> 28:57.232
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you love a scarf accessory.
28:57.372 --> 28:58.253
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
28:58.293 --> 29:01.817
[SPEAKER_00]: You do line producing for a living.
29:03.158 --> 29:08.844
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen you say those things two directors that she is saying, you know, at her meeting.
29:08.924 --> 29:11.687
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I feel like you should be sitting marvellous right now.
29:11.847 --> 29:15.411
[SPEAKER_02]: I will say, J. Scott Campbell has drawn me in this exact same pose.
29:16.492 --> 29:17.753
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm seeing you in that picture.
29:17.993 --> 29:19.555
[SPEAKER_00]: You also love tight t-shirts.
29:19.615 --> 29:21.017
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's a true.
29:21.057 --> 29:22.178
[SPEAKER_02]: Me and Mary Janner are the same.
29:22.438 --> 29:24.040
[SPEAKER_02]: What if she just pivots to NFTs?
29:24.520 --> 29:25.181
[SPEAKER_02]: Good move.
29:25.221 --> 29:27.864
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be a poor to ape company, that'd be fun.
29:28.144 --> 29:28.925
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my God.
29:29.045 --> 29:32.408
[SPEAKER_02]: Or maybe she just robs Binance from Bitcoin.
29:34.270 --> 29:35.611
[SPEAKER_01]: These are all great ideas.
29:35.751 --> 29:37.432
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see if they pay out of the second issue.
29:37.472 --> 29:46.318
[SPEAKER_01]: Meanwhile, Batman number 15 from DC Comics, written by Matt Fraction, Art by Jorge Amenez, as it says on the cover, this is the assassination of Bruce Wayne.
29:46.338 --> 29:47.058
[SPEAKER_01]: What?
29:47.678 --> 29:58.145
[SPEAKER_01]: As Batman is trying to figure out why there are assassins in his city and how he can capture them or get them out of the city before they cause too much damage.
29:58.525 --> 30:03.428
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's assembled the team to take care of it, including Jim Gordon, E.L.O.
30:03.468 --> 30:08.791
[SPEAKER_01]: Brian, aka Plastic Man, Verity Perry, Pennyworth at a couple of other folks.
30:09.772 --> 30:13.134
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, it leads, they're not lying on the cover.
30:13.634 --> 30:19.418
[SPEAKER_01]: Bruce Wayne, technically, is assassinated by the edge of this issue, but it is a fun not romp to get there.
30:20.298 --> 30:26.121
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like math fraction, no one's writing for the issue in comics right now is hard as math fraction.
30:26.361 --> 30:30.383
[SPEAKER_02]: Every issue is like the structure and composition is just excellent.
30:30.863 --> 30:34.885
[SPEAKER_02]: I love we get a little bit of oceans eleveny stuff here that run in this scam.
30:35.265 --> 30:37.146
[SPEAKER_02]: We know what's happening the entire time.
30:37.246 --> 30:39.747
[SPEAKER_02]: It's still gratifying to watch it happen.
30:40.167 --> 30:42.328
[SPEAKER_02]: Plastic man is excellent in this.
30:42.629 --> 30:44.850
[SPEAKER_02]: I love Verity as a member of this cast.
30:45.190 --> 30:47.151
[SPEAKER_02]: When else have we out of the member to the
30:49.992 --> 31:07.178
[SPEAKER_00]: with all three
of us all three of us absolutely happy so happy us do this is bullshit man you can't kill Bruce Wayne you need Bruce Wayne to have Batman you can't kill the alter ego that's insane you can't
31:07.918 --> 31:09.619
[SPEAKER_00]: just take it and run around.
31:09.779 --> 31:12.261
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I fake that for a weekend.
31:12.541 --> 31:15.944
[SPEAKER_00]: Dude, you can't kill somebody in the public eye and then turn around.
31:15.964 --> 31:17.845
[SPEAKER_00]: Be like, oh, bro.
31:18.005 --> 31:21.707
[SPEAKER_01]: He's still got matches alone, which is a very convincing disguise.
31:22.268 --> 31:23.729
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree with that statement.
31:24.129 --> 31:26.911
[SPEAKER_01]: But that guy has a mustache and a toothpick.
31:27.131 --> 31:28.972
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't actually imagine.
31:29.192 --> 31:30.894
[SPEAKER_00]: Really is a Bruce Wayne.
31:31.854 --> 31:34.036
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I was thinking about that man to succeed.
31:34.576 --> 31:41.162
[SPEAKER_00]: If it goes all dark night, it goes all dark, and it's just going to get worse than rather than better.
31:42.303 --> 31:46.446
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe he'll come back as toothpicks, Malam, to be different.
31:46.466 --> 31:48.688
[SPEAKER_02]: The more less criminal face.
31:49.608 --> 31:52.090
[SPEAKER_01]: Graham and Mrs. Art is a great in here.
31:52.130 --> 31:53.671
[SPEAKER_01]: The characters are so much fun.
31:53.691 --> 31:55.192
[SPEAKER_01]: I called it a romp at the beginning.
31:55.233 --> 31:59.616
[SPEAKER_01]: I beat it from Jim Gordon, being like, wow, so that's the plan.
31:59.976 --> 32:01.337
[SPEAKER_01]: Why am I here exactly?
32:01.417 --> 32:02.478
[SPEAKER_01]: What's going on?
32:02.538 --> 32:03.819
[SPEAKER_01]: Which was very funny.
32:06.080 --> 32:13.824
[SPEAKER_01]: everything that happens here is delightful the way that Batman diffuses several situations with the assassins throughout the books.
32:14.044 --> 32:15.625
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought was great as well.
32:15.945 --> 32:16.626
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a blast.
32:16.686 --> 32:18.067
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm having such a good library to this.
32:18.407 --> 32:19.687
[SPEAKER_01]: And the stuff with Joker is
32:20.888 --> 32:25.375
[SPEAKER_01]: perfect because Joker if you don't know if you're reading a watching right now.
32:25.535 --> 32:30.983
[SPEAKER_01]: He is essentially being quote unquote cured with this thing called the crown of storms.
32:31.584 --> 32:34.869
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody knows they're walking a very dangerous line here.
32:34.969 --> 32:36.291
[SPEAKER_01]: He's in this back to tank.
32:36.811 --> 32:37.752
[SPEAKER_01]: He's hanging out.
32:38.453 --> 32:42.157
[SPEAKER_01]: He's being very friendly with the doctor who is tending to him.
32:42.578 --> 32:56.233
[SPEAKER_01]: But then there's so much tension in that scene that purely comes out of the way that they do the lettering and the drawing and the looks for the joker where we all know this is a bomb that's going to go off and but you don't know when.
32:56.733 --> 33:01.076
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't reminds me of anything in the alien franchise.
33:01.356 --> 33:04.719
[SPEAKER_02]: It has that same like, in the fonts are a little similar.
33:04.819 --> 33:08.881
[SPEAKER_02]: It has that same just like slow build like, uh, right.
33:09.362 --> 33:13.144
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no, this whole thing, stressful tension.
33:13.244 --> 33:16.427
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's awesome to have that just boiling in the background.
33:16.547 --> 33:17.928
[SPEAKER_00]: The, with the character like the Joker.
33:18.508 --> 33:29.195
[SPEAKER_00]: The Bill of Mountain was very funny, but that cut to a Wonder Woman and Superman just being like, what the fuck are you doing Batman?
33:29.555 --> 33:35.499
[SPEAKER_00]: Was my favorite part of the issue and I felt very seen there because I was like, do this is a horrible fucking idea.
33:35.519 --> 33:38.901
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say Wonder Woman had a bit of a scrunched weird baby face.
33:38.981 --> 33:39.621
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she did.
33:39.641 --> 33:40.002
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she did.
33:40.882 --> 33:42.603
[SPEAKER_00]: was a mirror of my face.
33:43.904 --> 33:47.506
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, because I was like, what the fuck are you doing, bro?
33:47.546 --> 33:48.827
[SPEAKER_00]: Real fucking abs thing.
33:48.867 --> 33:55.051
[SPEAKER_00]: Bill's Mountain and you expect these to amazing heroes to go along with this fucking madness, bro?
33:55.951 --> 33:59.093
[SPEAKER_02]: Batman, please explain, Bill's Mountain is amazing.
33:59.173 --> 34:01.055
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm super mad at him.
34:02.535 --> 34:07.940
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree that would be exactly mountain to Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman, they should still work her.
34:07.980 --> 34:12.404
[SPEAKER_00]: But I hope we're currently just going to face from Wonder Woman's plan with Bill Femount.
34:12.904 --> 34:21.552
[SPEAKER_01]: On the other hand, the Page Flip to the double page spread of the silhouette of them confronting Batman was gorgeous, like absolutely beautiful to page spread.
34:21.792 --> 34:22.473
[SPEAKER_00]: The arts amazing.
34:23.363 --> 34:30.665
[SPEAKER_01]: Dungeons & Dragons, number one from Dark Horse Comics from Lee Collin Kelly and Jackson Lansing, art by Abraham Roberson.
34:31.585 --> 34:41.667
[SPEAKER_01]: One cool thing about this book is it comes with Mountain Dew and Doritos and that would be pretty sweet for when you're hanging out with your friends and playing.
34:41.687 --> 34:47.369
[SPEAKER_01]: No, we talked to Colin and Jackson about this book and they geeked out quite a bit.
34:47.409 --> 34:50.169
[SPEAKER_01]: They're very excited to take on Dungeons & Dragons.
34:54.190 --> 34:56.611
[SPEAKER_01]: weeks, maybe months back.
34:56.631 --> 34:57.271
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't.
34:57.291 --> 34:58.071
[SPEAKER_01]: Time doesn't matter.
34:58.632 --> 35:03.973
[SPEAKER_01]: But I am not a big dungess and dragon's lure guy at all,
like you could not tell.
35:04.073 --> 35:06.534
[SPEAKER_01]: I could not tell you anything about the forgotten realms.
35:07.074 --> 35:09.695
[SPEAKER_01]: This was a blast anyway.
35:09.715 --> 35:15.577
[SPEAKER_01]: It is basically a putting a team together to take down this dragon, the main to destroy the entire world.
35:16.237 --> 35:29.697
[SPEAKER_01]: we slowly meet the team, they are as far as I understand it, basically the Avengers of the forgotten realm, realms, and there's a big twist at the end that I thought was pretty ballsy and fun as well.
35:30.320 --> 35:31.862
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, this book goes hard.
35:32.082 --> 35:34.105
[SPEAKER_02]: It gets right into it.
35:34.265 --> 35:39.271
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like a lot of books like this in the RPG or Dungeon's Dragon Space.
35:40.052 --> 35:42.516
[SPEAKER_02]: And they sort of like, hey, let's sort of like a little game.
35:42.536 --> 35:47.642
[SPEAKER_02]: Like they really walk you into it because they feel like they have to protect readers who don't play, I think.
35:48.463 --> 36:13.443
[SPEAKER_02]: but this much more wisely just throws us into this world which we're good even if we don't play D&D we can follow a world where comic book readers this does that well and then it gives us time with the characters to really meet them see their intricacies and then like a nice twist at the end art that feels very much of the D&D world while not being super like still
36:18.230 --> 36:20.114
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree this was really awesome.
36:20.415 --> 36:23.681
[SPEAKER_00]: I also like D&D guy.
36:23.962 --> 36:25.525
[SPEAKER_00]: That is deep.
36:25.926 --> 36:29.192
[SPEAKER_00]: It is maybe a should but
36:30.267 --> 36:33.589
[SPEAKER_02]: You should be we all been talking about this in intervention.
36:33.609 --> 36:35.630
[SPEAKER_00]: I was really impressed by this.
36:35.690 --> 36:45.134
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was a great issue loved all the twists and turns fun last panel But you got to be some kind of moron to think you can just roll up on a dragon and then talk shit.
36:45.174 --> 36:51.697
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean what kind of fucking you I mean that just logically does not make any sense to me, but all right
36:51.877 --> 36:53.738
[SPEAKER_02]: But here's think of a dragon's gonna talk back.
36:53.939 --> 36:55.420
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, all right, let's play the game.
36:55.440 --> 36:56.100
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's do the dance.
36:56.400 --> 36:59.983
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but you shouldn't roll up, you know, that's a dragon's home.
37:00.083 --> 37:03.066
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're gonna just kind of roll up and fucking start talking shit.
37:03.086 --> 37:05.948
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there's a way to talk to a dragon and that ain't it.
37:07.062 --> 37:10.023
[SPEAKER_02]: But dragons expect people to roll up and talk shit.
37:10.063 --> 37:12.224
[SPEAKER_02]: It's part of the game of drag.
37:12.244 --> 37:14.404
[SPEAKER_00]: You're a giant ancient dragon.
37:14.584 --> 37:16.445
[SPEAKER_00]: You demand respect.
37:16.605 --> 37:17.505
[SPEAKER_00]: Otherwise you're going to fight.
37:17.525 --> 37:18.986
[SPEAKER_02]: It's essentially a roast battle.
37:19.486 --> 37:20.867
[SPEAKER_02]: The dragon knows it's coming.
37:20.927 --> 37:23.247
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, uh, it's like your mom.
37:24.068 --> 37:24.548
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like your mom.
37:24.568 --> 37:24.708
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
37:24.728 --> 37:25.448
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels like one of them.
37:25.508 --> 37:26.028
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like your mom.
37:26.068 --> 37:26.148
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
37:29.350 --> 37:30.551
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, okay.
37:30.651 --> 37:31.831
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess this is part of the show.
37:31.851 --> 37:33.032
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to say goodbye to Pete.
37:33.112 --> 37:34.733
[SPEAKER_01]: Pete, thank you so much for coming on.
37:34.793 --> 37:38.635
[SPEAKER_01]: He has to log off so he can delve very deep into Dungeon Dragons.
37:38.655 --> 37:40.816

[SPEAKER_00]: I did you

[SPEAKER_00]: Blindness.
38:10.577 --> 38:11.478
[SPEAKER_00]: To Marvel.
38:11.498 --> 38:23.700
[SPEAKER_01]: Written by Dan Waters, arched by Andrea Veracardo, Spiderman is in a detective mode after the events of the Basics Spider-Man Spider-Man diversity where she got infected by the carnage symbiotes.
38:23.740 --> 38:26.441
[SPEAKER_01]: She is the umpteenth character, he said, you know what?
38:26.601 --> 38:29.441
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that I'm the one you control carnage.
38:29.681 --> 38:30.402
[SPEAKER_01]: I can fix him.
38:30.842 --> 38:31.442
[SPEAKER_00]: I can fix him.
38:31.542 --> 38:32.142
[SPEAKER_00]: I can fix him.
38:32.322 --> 38:33.322
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what she's doing.
38:33.362 --> 38:36.423

38:41.027 --> 38:43.109
[SPEAKER_01]: She's a host don't dare

38:43.450 --> 38:44.831
[SPEAKER_01]: A list villain called the hangman.
38:44.851 --> 38:46.072
[SPEAKER_00]: You've been riding for a hangman?
38:46.112 --> 38:50.376
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm just saying, you know, maybe not D. You know, maybe in the mid section somewhere.
38:50.937 --> 38:53.079
[SPEAKER_00]: But you guys got a feel.
38:53.119 --> 38:55.141
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the fourth of 26 letters.
38:55.321 --> 38:56.562
[SPEAKER_00]: What is the mid section here?
38:57.043 --> 39:01.047
[SPEAKER_00]: You talk about B. Yeah, maybe like a C. You know, I mean, like a B plus.
39:01.587 --> 39:05.770
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, you guys got to feel pretty stupid, though, because Eggman's like, you know what?
39:06.090 --> 39:10.233
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna make New York City say for my daughter, what the fuck have you guys been doing?
39:10.433 --> 39:10.833
[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing.
39:11.154 --> 39:12.214
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been killing that.
39:12.254 --> 39:12.855
[SPEAKER_00]: I killed people.
39:12.875 --> 39:13.415
[SPEAKER_00]: I killed people.
39:13.435 --> 39:15.076
[SPEAKER_00]: I killed people.
39:15.477 --> 39:15.997
[SPEAKER_00]: My fault.
39:16.277 --> 39:16.657
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.
39:16.697 --> 39:17.958
[SPEAKER_00]: You haven't been doing the work.
39:18.078 --> 39:18.619
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, people.
39:18.659 --> 39:20.080
[SPEAKER_00]: I just talked about our day.
39:20.340 --> 39:21.220
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay.
39:21.501 --> 39:22.061
[SPEAKER_00]: What happened?
39:22.181 --> 39:23.562
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's called parenting pee.
39:23.622 --> 39:23.862
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
39:23.882 --> 39:24.263
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
39:24.503 --> 39:25.603
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all right.
39:25.724 --> 39:30.507
[SPEAKER_00]: Having a daughter in New York City means you're gonna murder a bunch of people, so that they can feel safe.
39:30.987 --> 39:33.528
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, it's as a father of daughters.
39:33.548 --> 39:34.629
[SPEAKER_01]: I murder people all the time.
39:34.869 --> 39:37.290
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, good for you.
39:37.370 --> 39:38.170
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just normal.
39:38.630 --> 39:51.976
[SPEAKER_02]: This is, despite the fact that we get the, the symbiote stuff, the story we have seen a lot of lately, and it happens halfway through the issue, and I had sort of forgotten that until it's revealed halfway through.
39:52.957 --> 39:57.919
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was definitely bummed out a little bit, but I will say I like the way it's handled here.
39:58.848 --> 40:04.591
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not carnage having a whole chat with Spider-Women the entire time.
40:05.071 --> 40:10.953
[SPEAKER_02]: Carnage is much more of just impulsey and pushing her to be more violent.
40:11.314 --> 40:20.658
[SPEAKER_02]: We get a reveal at the end that I thought was actually a nice way to treat it and worked here and her dealing with
40:22.120 --> 40:30.572
[SPEAKER_02]: this this hangman they this very violent villain I thought is a nice counterpoint that helps make all the carnage of it work a little bit better.
40:32.200 --> 40:45.404
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought there was a really interesting graphical design that they did when she is talking to Carnage, where you can kind of see this broken web over her eye.
40:46.204 --> 40:48.885
[SPEAKER_01]: As she looks in the mirror and sees Carnage in there.
40:48.925 --> 40:50.206
[SPEAKER_01]: So I thought that was really cool.
40:50.446 --> 40:50.806
[SPEAKER_00]: I liked it.
40:50.866 --> 40:51.466
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm into this.
40:52.026 --> 40:57.868
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I thought it had a real nice balance of action and story, a solid first dish.
40:59.386 --> 41:00.286
[SPEAKER_01]: solid first issue.
41:00.446 --> 41:05.208
[SPEAKER_01]: Gangs of Gotham number one from DC comics written by Christopher Cantwell art by Mike Henderson.
41:05.228 --> 41:09.609
[SPEAKER_01]: This is spinning directly out of bad seeds following Kentucky.
41:09.689 --> 41:14.251
[SPEAKER_01]: That's where Brad says way up the titular gangs of Gotham.
41:14.598 --> 41:21.745
[SPEAKER_01]: There's another character who is also working her way out the gangs of Gotham, who is a little bit of a secret, though you might be able to figure it out.
41:21.905 --> 41:24.487
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, Justin, what did you think of this one?
41:25.168 --> 41:25.989
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is great.
41:26.329 --> 41:31.013
[SPEAKER_02]: The character reveal in the last couple of pages really pops it off for me.
41:31.694 --> 41:35.858
[SPEAKER_02]: This spins quite directly out of bad seeds and one of the bad seeds.
41:37.039 --> 41:45.928
[SPEAKER_02]: the mini series I really enjoyed so that that makes this a nice direct sequel to that and characters that I've been wanting to follow up with.
41:46.048 --> 42:01.263
[SPEAKER_02]: Anarchy we get a lot of like journaling happening here which reminds me of one of my favorite Anarchy stories which is a two-parter back in like probably the late nineties in shadow of the bat I want to say and anarchy story that I loved and so
42:01.984 --> 42:04.047
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm getting that same energy here.
42:04.689 --> 42:12.802
[SPEAKER_02]: This feels like a big story, not just a simple little epilogue to bad seeds, so I'm happy to be reading this.
42:13.535 --> 42:15.937
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't want the bad seeds to be over.
42:15.957 --> 42:19.800
[SPEAKER_00]: Some glad we got a little extra seeds here and keep selling.
42:20.081 --> 42:21.502
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, oh, yeah.
42:22.002 --> 42:27.187
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I was just a little disappointed by Batman being kind of a dick.
42:27.367 --> 42:28.107
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
42:28.148 --> 42:30.610
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt like he was a real dick at the end of the comic.
42:30.670 --> 42:32.211
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was just like, man, Batman.
42:32.231 --> 42:34.433
[SPEAKER_00]: Wait a fucking crush.
42:34.473 --> 42:36.074
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got a lot to manage,
Pete.
42:36.114 --> 42:36.955
[SPEAKER_02]: Bruce Wayne just died.
42:37.435 --> 42:37.676
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
42:39.397 --> 42:43.700
[SPEAKER_01]: Now he's toothpicks malo and play 24 seven.
42:43.720 --> 42:57.510
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exquisite corpses loan gunmen number one from tiny onion and image comics written by porn sack piece show to are to buy Alberto Ponte celly this is spinning off of the exquisite corpses series and unlike
42:58.290 --> 43:18.102
[SPEAKER_01]: The other spin-offs, including one will be talking about later on in the stack, this is not a prequel, it is a sequel taking place following the characters who survived the first competition as they are embroiled in a new, dangerous situation, Justin, and you're pretty psyched about this one, so take it away.
43:18.822 --> 43:23.245
[SPEAKER_02]: Really enjoying this, and honestly I'm surprised they're not selling this a little bit harder
43:27.632 --> 43:28.153
[SPEAKER_02]: they should.
43:28.173 --> 43:34.880
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a really good violent, uh, like a breathtakingly violent open to this story.
43:35.020 --> 43:39.325
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is essentially exquisite corpses 1.5.
43:39.405 --> 43:47.234
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we're getting a second season, sometime next year, I believe, but I like the Rascal Randy series, enjoying the Fox Mass Killer series.
43:48.363 --> 43:50.244
[SPEAKER_01]: And both of those are filling in the backstory.
43:50.424 --> 43:58.448
[SPEAKER_01]: This is very much moving the mythology for, and there was a question in our discord earlier this week about the many series of money.
43:58.848 --> 44:06.632
[SPEAKER_01]: They confusion about the mythology of exquisite corpses, which we talked about a bit during the run of the made series that sometimes it was
44:07.572 --> 44:10.433
[SPEAKER_01]: hard to figure out because they didn't explicitly state any of it.
44:10.613 --> 44:21.576
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're wondering what is going out of the world of exquisite corpses and how all this works, read, load, gun, mid, number one, which lays it out very plainly what's going on here.
44:22.016 --> 44:25.357
[SPEAKER_01]: And then also has a really cool fun twist at the end here.
44:25.897 --> 44:34.520
[SPEAKER_01]: The majority of the book to be almost felt like a flip side of what porn sack is doing over an absolute green arrow exploring some of those themes from maybe a different
44:35.720 --> 44:38.624
[SPEAKER_01]: But there's again a deep twist at the end here.
44:38.684 --> 44:45.371
[SPEAKER_01]: I won't spoil the plays off of the title that I thought was very smartly done and continues to tie into those themes.
44:46.052 --> 44:49.115
[SPEAKER_01]: Poor Zach, one of the smartest writers working today.
44:49.656 --> 44:52.859
[SPEAKER_02]: Truly, like I feel like really coming into his own right now.
44:54.081 --> 44:56.423
[SPEAKER_02]: with these very disparate stories.
44:56.943 --> 45:01.346
[SPEAKER_02]: And jumping on other sort of properties and telling great stories is really hard, I think.
45:02.446 --> 45:03.527
[SPEAKER_02]: But I agree with you about it.
45:03.767 --> 45:07.569
[SPEAKER_02]: With everything you said, and Longgunman from exquisite corpses was one of those characters.
45:07.609 --> 45:11.011
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, oh, so intriguing, but just didn't get enough time with them.
45:11.612 --> 45:21.798
[SPEAKER_02]: And in this, we not only get the sequel that you were describing, Alex, but we also get to really explore what the Longgunman character was and is now, and will continue to be.
45:22.530 --> 45:37.034
[SPEAKER_00]: and so that was this was just a very satisfying I didn't expect to be so satisfied with this read yeah yeah a cool cover great art the tons of action and violence a little bit over my head but yeah very smart
45:38.529 --> 45:47.216
[SPEAKER_01]: Ghostwriter, Kushala, number one from Marvel and my taboo, and Beer, all art by Guillermo, Sanna, and Vanessa R. Del Ray.
45:47.616 --> 45:57.844
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a 88 page comic book all about this Ghostwriter exploring her history as she goes through the Marvel Universe battling Doctor Doom.
45:58.244 --> 46:01.527
[SPEAKER_01]: I was shocked at how long this was.
46:01.767 --> 46:05.590
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder if this started as a four-page, but he's serious that they're like,
46:06.046 --> 46:19.782
[SPEAKER_01]: A four-issue mini-series four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-issue four-
46:20.762 --> 46:24.544
[SPEAKER_02]: But no, I think this, you can even see the brakes, I think, in it.
46:24.584 --> 46:27.045
[SPEAKER_02]: So it definitely feels like this is a mini-series they collected in one.
46:27.065 --> 46:29.086
[SPEAKER_02]: But I will say that, it still works.
46:29.226 --> 46:41.732
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is such an exploration of not only the Ghost Rider and this version of Ghost Rider, which I think is really effective, but other characters in the Marvel Universe pop up here that I think are really well used.
46:42.532 --> 46:45.574
[SPEAKER_02]: And there's just so much philosophy in this book.
46:45.754 --> 46:48.635
[SPEAKER_02]: It was reading a different sections like a concrete book.
46:48.875 --> 46:50.795
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I like that person.
46:50.835 --> 46:51.155
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
46:51.716 --> 46:58.297
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I thought this was such a cool idea of combining, you know, Ghost Rider in this character in such a
unique way.
46:59.057 --> 47:05.318
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, I just was really impressed, you know, two great characters kind of gather here.
47:05.698 --> 47:10.459
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, also interesting use of doom here, you know what I mean?
47:10.499 --> 47:12.100
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just snatching kids.
47:12.340 --> 47:13.060
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, doom.
47:13.080 --> 47:13.980
[SPEAKER_00]: That's fucked up, man.
47:14.610 --> 47:15.631
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so bad to him.
47:15.871 --> 47:18.253
[SPEAKER_02]: This guy's a real guy who should run hell.
47:18.833 --> 47:20.355
[SPEAKER_00]: He's so yeah, you're right.
47:20.435 --> 47:20.835
[SPEAKER_00]: You're right.
47:20.855 --> 47:22.336
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a fucking thing.
47:22.356 --> 47:24.138
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a distal to run hell.
47:24.478 --> 47:25.759
[SPEAKER_00]: That's guys.
47:25.939 --> 47:26.239
[SPEAKER_00]: Are there?
47:26.660 --> 47:28.081
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you know are there auditions?
47:28.141 --> 47:29.042
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I heard of that.
47:29.082 --> 47:30.323
[SPEAKER_01]: And like I wanted to sign up.
47:30.483 --> 47:31.784
[SPEAKER_01]: You didn't get the call back.
47:31.984 --> 47:33.265
[SPEAKER_00]: My agent has him.
47:34.045 --> 47:36.127
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate to tell you you didn't get the call back.
47:36.627 --> 47:41.011
[SPEAKER_02]: I totally whipped my audition to run hell because I drank the wrong blood.
47:41.071 --> 47:41.952
[SPEAKER_02]: I drank
47:42.576 --> 47:53.370
[SPEAKER_00]: Alex, I'm sorry, as you were leaving, I was walking in and I heard some of the cast and agents talking and they were saying that like, you know, this guy's perfect, but his wife is just too nice.
47:53.691 --> 47:58.117
[SPEAKER_00]: So this business man, this business of dabbing souls that were in it.
47:58.157 --> 47:58.818
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like,
47:59.218 --> 47:59.418
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
47:59.478 --> 48:00.679
[SPEAKER_01]: What am I even doing anymore?
48:00.779 --> 48:03.360
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you are a great dammer like sort of in.
48:03.380 --> 48:15.685
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's kids who are damming souls all the time, just like no resources over on clipclop, you know, because like the devil has hooves.
48:15.705 --> 48:17.105
[SPEAKER_01]: So he makes like a clipclops on.
48:17.845 --> 48:18.026
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
48:18.326 --> 48:19.886
[SPEAKER_01]: And how am I supposed to compete with that?
48:19.906 --> 48:21.087
[SPEAKER_01]: That's my question, you know?
48:21.107 --> 48:21.367
[SPEAKER_00]: Well,
48:21.867 --> 48:25.809
[SPEAKER_00]: that's held up on the sound effects, you know what I mean, how you will get to this.
48:25.829 --> 48:27.330
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, add the sound effects to come later.
48:27.630 --> 48:29.892
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we do a lot of editing on this show.
48:30.272 --> 48:30.472
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
48:30.752 --> 48:31.313
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
48:31.333 --> 48:32.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Capital number four
from DC Comics.
48:33.254 --> 48:38.217
[SPEAKER_01]: We have Scott Snyder and Chase Grayson are by Bengal in this issue.
48:38.317 --> 48:42.079
[SPEAKER_01]: Catwoman and her team are coming directly for Cassandra Kane.
48:43.059 --> 48:43.179
[SPEAKER_01]: And
48:44.220 --> 48:44.820
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.
48:44.940 --> 48:46.121
[SPEAKER_01]: Pete, you seem pretty excited.
48:46.141 --> 48:46.942
[SPEAKER_01]: What did you like about that?
48:46.962 --> 48:47.642
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I love this.
48:47.722 --> 48:50.123
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought fun twists and turns.
48:50.183 --> 48:52.164
[SPEAKER_00]: Great action fast pace.
48:52.364 --> 48:53.245
[SPEAKER_00]: Amazing art.
48:53.305 --> 48:54.526
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought this was awesome.
48:55.106 --> 48:56.267
[SPEAKER_00]: Red really well.
48:56.847 --> 48:59.708
[SPEAKER_00]: I liked a lot of the choices they were making artistically.
49:00.409 --> 49:05.872
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, it's kind of a fun to see Catwoman in this kind of trouble that she's in.
49:05.972 --> 49:08.073
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I enjoyed it.
49:08.761 --> 49:10.021
[SPEAKER_00]: She's in trouble, future trouble.
49:10.302 --> 49:13.543
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we're still getting some flashback to her past.
49:13.843 --> 49:20.085
[SPEAKER_02]: And there's actually a lot of that, and that's some of the more exciting stuff where she really beats the share of a garden.
49:20.225 --> 49:23.526
[SPEAKER_02]: And that was a good scene.
49:23.866 --> 49:29.988
[SPEAKER_02]: This feels very much like we're still getting toward the, the next issue is when sort of it all goes down, I feel like so.
49:30.528 --> 49:31.509
[SPEAKER_02]: Excited to get to that.
49:31.549 --> 49:35.790
[SPEAKER_02]: But the art is really like clean, feels futuristic, it's really working.
49:36.172 --> 49:44.439
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, a group that feels quite different from the rest of the absolute books, yet still sad and a slightly different dystopian world.
49:46.141 --> 49:53.587
[SPEAKER_01]: No one escapes the dialectic number one from Boom Studios written by Spencer Akerman, Art by Antonio Fuso.
49:54.368 --> 49:57.551
[SPEAKER_01]: This is about a lot of stuff.
49:57.631 --> 49:58.932
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you guys think it is about?
50:05.523 --> 50:07.204
[SPEAKER_02]: You can't get out of that.
50:07.524 --> 50:17.010
[SPEAKER_01]: It's about conspiracy theories, it's about a burger, it's about protests, it's a lot of stuff about the economy world, more about dialect, but it's not.
50:17.630 --> 50:23.835
[SPEAKER_01]: No, so Spencer Aquaman is a security expert and has written on that for years.
50:23.935 --> 50:43.529
[SPEAKER_01]: He wrote Iron Man for a while and I don't know if this is his first creator owned book but it's definitely his first one since Iron Man and it does to me at least and I say this complimentary, he feels like he's like this is all the stuff they wouldn't let me do out Iron Man and I'm just going to kind of go
for it now.
50:44.743 --> 50:46.985
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, but that's in this nice.
50:47.045 --> 50:57.915
[SPEAKER_02]: It's sort of working in two, we get a lot of like sort of dialogue boxes with conversations from this group of people working to be generally bad guys.
50:58.455 --> 51:00.757
[SPEAKER_02]: I really like all of the writing.
51:02.080 --> 51:10.429
[SPEAKER_02]: and the text threads, like all of their names, we get the idea that their names are going to be athletes and animals.
51:11.270 --> 51:11.750
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe.
51:11.870 --> 51:12.130
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
51:12.211 --> 51:16.355
[SPEAKER_02]: And there's just some great fun pun writing going on there.
51:17.000 --> 51:24.043
[SPEAKER_02]: And all of those conversations feel very authentic and from like douchebags essentially.
51:25.003 --> 51:27.224
[SPEAKER_02]: But the story is very propulsive.
51:27.244 --> 51:31.806
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of action happening as we're getting this sort of fun text thread stuff.
51:32.467 --> 51:40.090
[SPEAKER_02]: And I will say the title is not, I wish the title was different, because it's a tough title, I think, to really be like,
51:41.170 --> 51:42.371
[SPEAKER_02]: to explain what the book is.
51:42.491 --> 51:47.794
[SPEAKER_02]: The book is much more action-oriented than what no in escapes the dialectic says as a title.
51:48.354 --> 51:52.237
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I thought this was intense, great art.
51:52.257 --> 51:55.939
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of violence, the tone of the art, it was really fantastic.
51:56.359 --> 52:01.122
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was a really interesting start and I'm interested to check out more.
52:10.534 --> 52:21.818
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is across over the fantastic four and the X man where three K has released a virus in a small town in Pennsylvania, Pete, you okay first of all.
52:21.838 --> 52:27.821
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm trying to find that back and trying to find that white beast everywhere.
52:29.181 --> 52:29.821
[SPEAKER_02]: That white beast.
52:29.841 --> 52:30.041
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
52:30.061 --> 52:31.222
[SPEAKER_02]: Have you ever looked in the mirror?
52:31.282 --> 52:31.962
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you're the way.
52:32.022 --> 52:33.003
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no.
52:35.425 --> 52:50.644
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... wait let me take another one uh... if you want to find that way at peace maybe check out some friendly neighborhood Mary Jane first be it you know i don't know yeah we'll fix that and i think yeah we have a lot of stuff to edit this episode
52:51.425 --> 53:10.828
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, the fantastic four and the expert have figured out that the beast of the future from the Age of Revelation sent a coded message back into Magneto's genetics to let them know how to cure the ex-virus that the chairman, the head of 3K, who is an evil beast,
53:11.649 --> 53:25.299
[SPEAKER_01]: has released, they head there, unfortunately, the chairman kind of messed up the formula a little bit and we all end with Cyclops heading inside of a dome to kill his friend Hank McCoy.
53:26.480 --> 53:39.449
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I gotta tell you, you know, why do you mess it up and wanted to blow up a whole town as a little crazy and the fact that Scott Summers thinks he can save it all by himself is a really interesting.
53:40.273 --> 53:42.255
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I really like that idea.
53:42.395 --> 53:45.177
[SPEAKER_02]: Like we end on that Scott's going to go face the beast.
53:45.698 --> 53:52.564
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels like a nice echo of what happened in the age of Revelation where it was Scott and Beast that were sent forward in time.
53:52.624 --> 53:54.886
[SPEAKER_02]: So now they're having their final confrontation.
53:55.466 --> 53:57.708
[SPEAKER_02]: Good parentheses on that idea.
53:59.349 --> 54:06.736
[SPEAKER_02]: This story, like Alex, I think he said is in the live show that it felt like it sort of wrapped up when Magneedow is saved in the fantastic four.
54:07.502 --> 54:10.464
[SPEAKER_02]: sort of did their business inside Magneto's body.
54:11.105 --> 54:13.807
[SPEAKER_02]: And they aren't really super involved in this part of the story.
54:13.827 --> 54:16.969
[SPEAKER_02]: It's been across over where it's been a surprisingly separate.
54:17.109 --> 54:18.870
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like, and it has worked.
54:19.891 --> 54:22.213
[SPEAKER_02]: But it just feels like sort of across over.
54:22.233 --> 54:26.656
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels like an experiment story of the fantastic for we're had a little side quest on.
54:28.077 --> 54:32.821
[SPEAKER_02]: But I would also say the idea in here that a chairman's like, ah, I made sloped moons.
54:33.602 --> 54:38.486
[SPEAKER_02]: Whoops, okay, I'm gonna just I'm gonna tip this into the garbage and move on.
54:38.506 --> 54:41.028
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, oh, is this still the story?
54:42.863 --> 54:47.587
[SPEAKER_02]: He was like a very wild and chairman's just a wild.
54:47.607 --> 54:48.948
[SPEAKER_02]: He was like, yeah, I fucked up.
54:48.968 --> 54:53.472
[SPEAKER_01]: See later, and I was like, really, I actually liked that.
54:53.652 --> 55:10.147
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I actually, I like the chairman more and more as a villain, just based on him being like, that's very consistent with what Benjamin Percy was doing with P. Stover at X-Force, where he was like, well, got to build these big setinals to destroy a bunch of people, I guess, that's just what I have to do.
55:11.008 --> 55:17.294
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's kind of continuing here with the Slapped Mutants, which are grossly drawn by Fred of Reykjou's Itch and Titi.
55:17.855 --> 55:27.225
[SPEAKER_01]: My little thing that's holding me up is I feel like every appearance of Cyclops now in the main continuity at some point in conversation is like
55:28.270 --> 55:32.432
[SPEAKER_01]: we should murder those guys, you guys like murder.
55:32.572 --> 55:36.614
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the fact that this issue ended with
like, well, I'm going to have to murder my friend.
55:36.775 --> 55:38.055
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, maybe not.
55:38.295 --> 55:39.476
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, maybe don't.
55:39.556 --> 55:42.558
[SPEAKER_01]: And the rest of you don't stand about to be like, have fun.
55:42.958 --> 55:43.318
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
55:43.338 --> 55:45.119
[SPEAKER_01]: Full of the murderers, have fun and so on.
55:45.199 --> 55:46.700
[SPEAKER_02]: Bye.
55:46.740 --> 55:47.240
[SPEAKER_02]: Good luck.
55:47.400 --> 55:49.141
[SPEAKER_02]: Send us a message if you can through the force field.
55:49.381 --> 55:50.362
[SPEAKER_02]: And join Pennsylvania.
55:50.922 --> 56:03.547
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and like I'm already kind of on the line with the whole we're an extreme aggressive proactive X bed team who takes care of business and we're a team of killers who are struggling with that.
56:04.007 --> 56:08.449
[SPEAKER_01]: But the fact that like very explicitly Scott is like well, we have to murder these people.
56:08.549 --> 56:12.650
[SPEAKER_01]: Like he said that I remember off had the Hellfire Gallospesh all.
56:12.690 --> 56:13.271
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
56:13.531 --> 56:14.191
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was it.
56:14.431 --> 56:15.291
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is he with?
56:15.311 --> 56:16.652
[SPEAKER_00]: Doesn't seem like a good leader.
56:17.772 --> 56:26.818
[SPEAKER_01]: No, but in the Hellfire Gallery, especially it's like work here to murder 3K and then in almost every issue of DNX, it was like, we should murder those people.
56:27.458 --> 56:32.702
[SPEAKER_01]: Last issue of X-Men, he had a whole conversation with South Africa, he was like, do you know why I made you by XO?
56:33.182 --> 56:36.224
[SPEAKER_01]: Because you like to murder people and I also liked it.
56:36.304 --> 56:38.766
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, okay, stop.
56:39.927 --> 56:40.987
[SPEAKER_01]: What are we doing?
56:43.265 --> 56:45.568
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, I guess we'll see what happens.
56:45.588 --> 56:48.292
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, it's cracks me up when Zalvin gets grow over hands.
56:48.392 --> 56:48.713
[SPEAKER_00]: Whether it's...
56:52.737 --> 56:58.999
[SPEAKER_01]: You're like, oh, I actually do have Muppet has, we've talked about this on the show before.
56:59.039 --> 57:02.119
[SPEAKER_01]: You know how everybody has like two split lines on their hands?
57:02.679 --> 57:05.420
[SPEAKER_01]: I actually have one line through both of my hands.
57:05.440 --> 57:08.860
[SPEAKER_00]: Because the guy who's working your hands didn't buy you the good hands.
57:08.880 --> 57:10.881
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the good hands he got you the cheap ones.
57:11.421 --> 57:12.981
[SPEAKER_02]: My daughter has one line.
57:13.181 --> 57:14.662
[SPEAKER_02]: It's called a simian pa.
57:15.002 --> 57:16.682
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, but she have it on both hands.
57:17.302 --> 57:18.123
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, interesting.
57:18.303 --> 57:35.177
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so I don't know if you guys remember though like
all my life I've been like this is a weird thing about my hands because some people will have that on one hand But they won't have it on both hands and I call them up at hands and the only time I ever brought it up on our live show I was like and I somebody asked like what's the weird fact about you?
57:35.197 --> 57:39.661
[SPEAKER_01]: So I said this our guest who I cannot remember who it was was like, oh, I have those two
57:40.995 --> 57:41.675
[SPEAKER_01]: You remember that?
57:42.235 --> 57:42.675
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
57:43.035 --> 57:45.756
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it was very impactful for me because I was like, what?
57:45.876 --> 57:46.436
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
57:46.996 --> 57:51.037
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never done anybody in my entire life who had that until I'm saying it now too.
57:51.277 --> 57:51.837
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.
57:52.818 --> 57:54.758
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, DNX is now on stance.
57:54.918 --> 57:55.718
[SPEAKER_01]: Backroll.
57:57.078 --> 58:03.280
[SPEAKER_01]: Backroll, number 25 from DC Comics written by Tate Bromble Art by Takeshi Miyasawa and the Damian Scott.
58:03.620 --> 58:07.561
[SPEAKER_01]: This anniversary issue brings back reason.
58:09.220 --> 58:15.544
[SPEAKER_01]: Father David Keene, they have a little chap in a diner, goes pretty well, I think, all things considered.
58:15.604 --> 58:17.745
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it doesn't get worse from there.
58:17.805 --> 58:19.627
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it goes horribly wrong.
58:19.707 --> 58:23.829
[SPEAKER_01]: Pete, you were pretty psyched about this one, so I'll turn it over to you.
58:24.149 --> 58:24.730
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I thank you.
58:24.750 --> 58:26.151
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, first off, cool cover.
58:27.171 --> 58:31.274
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a man, you know, you sit down with your dad.
58:31.394 --> 58:33.255
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he's been, what's going on?
58:33.335 --> 58:36.017
[SPEAKER_00]: And now, man, and it tells you this horrible plan.
58:36.557 --> 58:44.221
[SPEAKER_00]: And he sucks and he's trying to kill her so that really sucks for our girl and But man, I love this arc.
58:44.301 --> 58:45.382
[SPEAKER_00]: I love this issue.
58:45.402 --> 58:55.046
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is really interesting It's kind of cool to see back-roll Kind of fighting all of this as she still continues to move forward.
58:55.407 --> 58:58.308
[SPEAKER_00]: The art has such a vibe, but man.
58:58.528 --> 59:01.890
[SPEAKER_00]: I I really like Love this issue
59:03.175 --> 59:05.796
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought this was such a pleasant surprise.
59:05.896 --> 59:16.518
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought it was great having so violent, so upsetting, the dad come back, the characters that are killed in this issue, we meet for a second.
59:16.578 --> 59:19.479
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was just so upset to see them die.
59:20.519 --> 59:23.620
[SPEAKER_02]: So I thought this was great as well.
59:25.851 --> 59:38.058
[SPEAKER_01]: When we interviewed Tate about Adam Frankenstein a couple
of months back, we talked a little bit about his influences and he was talking about how he does where his influences on his sleeve.
59:38.518 --> 59:41.000
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd be very curious to talk to you about this, but this felt.
59:42.282 --> 59:52.789
[SPEAKER_01]: straight up, inspired part by the sand van diner issue where everybody does the diner, like felt very much like that, but with more complete and digital fighting.
59:53.249 --> 01:00:05.357
[SPEAKER_01]: And then towards the end, we get a shot of that girl that feels like very specifically a riff on the classic Wolverine alone in the sewer thing where he lecturers looks up at the cabron, does that thing?
01:00:05.457 --> 01:00:05.717
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
01:00:06.157 --> 01:00:06.958
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, this is great.
01:00:07.118 --> 01:00:08.219
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a great issue.
01:00:08.339 --> 01:00:12.363
[SPEAKER_01]: If you've been off that girl, if you haven't read it at all, you can jump right in with it.
01:00:12.423 --> 01:00:18.049
[SPEAKER_02]: Jump is just you definitely want to pick up cold because it is sort of an epilogue to a lot of stuff that's been happening.
01:00:18.668 --> 01:00:22.893
[SPEAKER_02]: with from bad seeds to also the previous storylines before.
01:00:23.194 --> 01:00:30.903
[SPEAKER_02]: But just to talk about the art a little bit, the fight sequences felt such old school comic book, like the good.
01:00:30.943 --> 01:00:31.724
[SPEAKER_02]: Big panels.
01:00:32.024 --> 01:00:32.565
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, definitely.
01:00:32.925 --> 01:00:37.331
[SPEAKER_02]: Big panels split up where the fight is just progressing through the panels really good.
01:00:38.607 --> 01:00:45.089
[SPEAKER_01]: Next up, Mad Science Division number one, from ignition press, written by Dan Waters, art by Brian Level.
01:00:45.149 --> 01:00:56.573
[SPEAKER_01]: We read the zero issue of this, the cold open, and this is continuing to follow up on that with a new young boss taking over the Mad Science Division of the title.
01:00:56.913 --> 01:00:58.213
[SPEAKER_01]: There's various departments there.
01:00:58.273 --> 01:01:01.554
[SPEAKER_01]: They deal with everything from bioweapons to more and more
01:01:04.996 --> 01:01:06.958
[SPEAKER_01]: And he is a cost cutter.
01:01:07.098 --> 01:01:08.820
[SPEAKER_01]: He wants to cut down the department.
01:01:08.860 --> 01:01:10.822
[SPEAKER_01]: He wants to get us in projects.
01:01:10.842 --> 01:01:17.831
[SPEAKER_01]: What he doesn't realize is you kind of can't do that with a bad side's division because things will go horribly wrong.
01:01:18.171 --> 01:01:21.655
[SPEAKER_01]: Pete's giving a frowny face because he loved it so much and it made him so happy.
01:01:22.016 --> 01:01:22.937
[SPEAKER_01]: What did you want to say, Pete?
01:01:23.097 --> 01:01:30.122
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I just had a question guys where can you get the super cocaine next to where you get your friendly neighborhood Mary Jane.
01:01:30.162 --> 01:01:31.964
[SPEAKER_00]: We were going to get to the super cocaine.
01:01:32.604 --> 01:01:35.226
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean that whole thing was just like, hey, welcome.
01:01:35.246 --> 01:01:36.247
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
01:01:36.307 --> 01:01:38.729
[SPEAKER_00]: Back in the 90s we invented super cocaine.
01:01:38.949 --> 01:01:44.273
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, like, whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't just say super cocaine and then move on.
01:01:44.593 --> 01:01:48.796
[SPEAKER_00]: But I do think it was hilarious that the dude who invented it died of super cocaine.
01:01:48.877 --> 01:01:49.137
[SPEAKER_00]: So.
01:01:49.837 --> 01:01:53.720
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, but his weakness was also, yeah, it's just like Kryptonite.
01:01:53.880 --> 01:01:54.941
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's true.
01:01:54.981 --> 01:01:56.122
[SPEAKER_02]: Super cocaine.
01:01:56.162 --> 01:01:59.064
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you think cocaine is bad.
01:01:59.365 --> 01:02:00.886
[SPEAKER_00]: Why do you try super cocaine?
01:02:01.046 --> 01:02:02.847
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you think he's going to have that super cocaine?
01:02:03.008 --> 01:02:04.689
[SPEAKER_02]: It's someone who likes regular.
01:02:04.909 --> 01:02:06.791
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, man, the oral idea.
01:02:07.351 --> 01:02:15.117
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, the rat on this cover really disturbs me because I can't tell if it's like, uh, got brain control or something's going on, but the drool,
01:02:16.678 --> 01:02:21.059
[SPEAKER_00]: And two directions is, oh, I'm sorry, is it a mouse?
01:02:21.920 --> 01:02:22.620
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you read the book?
01:02:22.640 --> 01:02:22.700
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
01:02:23.180 --> 01:02:26.861
[SPEAKER_02]: As we learn in the issue, they're not rats, they're fucking big gold goops.
01:02:27.501 --> 01:02:37.865
[SPEAKER_00]: There, uh, I mean, this was, but this is a level of detail that I was like, you know, this is really best up.
01:02:38.265 --> 01:02:45.487
[SPEAKER_01]: Once again, I must emphasize that comics have interior pages as well, and we should probably discuss them just in, what did you think about the book?
01:02:46.227 --> 01:02:46.727
[SPEAKER_02]: It's very funny.
01:02:46.747 --> 01:02:59.131
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean the zero issue really sets this up well and everything we've read and it was a part of this we get to read pages there in here, so that's nice The We're allowed to do that, no?
01:02:59.732 --> 01:03:06.914
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a real, it feels like a real cheat But the way that the main character is like
01:03:07.454 --> 01:03:11.598
[SPEAKER_02]: Sort of a loser dick not only is he like he's not a villain per se.
01:03:11.618 --> 01:03:19.406
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just sort of sucks And all the other characters who are definitely villains are like this guy sucks now He's gonna be the hero and then nope.
01:03:19.746 --> 01:03:24.811
[SPEAKER_02]: He also just pretty regular sucks It's such an interesting way into this world.
01:03:24.991 --> 01:03:26.552
[SPEAKER_02]: I really
like this world the way
01:03:28.014 --> 01:03:43.613
[SPEAKER_02]: All the fucked up things that we're talking about feel mad science in a way I didn't expect their Weirder than I thought like the rat situation and I have just no idea where the narrative's gonna go Is this guy gonna get it got is he going to somehow be better?
01:03:44.353 --> 01:03:45.655
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
01:03:45.675 --> 01:03:47.117
[SPEAKER_01]: I love this so far.
01:03:47.437 --> 01:03:49.480
[SPEAKER_01]: It is super, super gross.
01:03:49.620 --> 01:03:54.006
[SPEAKER_01]: All the designs that bright level does are absolutely future to discuss.
01:03:54.046 --> 01:03:56.549
[SPEAKER_01]: They're sort of like not to keep bringing up vertigo stuff.
01:03:56.569 --> 01:04:02.377
[SPEAKER_01]: But like it's on the edge of kind of Kelly Jones swamp thing without necessarily going that stream.
01:04:02.937 --> 01:04:11.220
[SPEAKER_01]: And for the writing perspective, I generally like to add water stuff, but here it feels like he's going for a vintage war in L.S.
01:04:11.300 --> 01:04:15.001
[SPEAKER_01]: meets Mark Millar type comic because you got a great quote.
01:04:15.401 --> 01:04:25.185
[SPEAKER_01]: You got like just the classic like bureaucracy, well, we're just checking in for our jobs thing and then you also have the Mark Millar style like super cocaine and what I'd rats and whatever else.
01:04:26.266 --> 01:04:33.794
[SPEAKER_01]: But luckily it's Dan Waters, neither of those other guys who suck, so I'm happy to really this comic book instead.
01:04:33.814 --> 01:04:42.283
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm excited, even if it's just like five issues of exploring these various departments as horrible things happen to this guy, that's very fun.
01:04:43.895 --> 01:04:44.255
[SPEAKER_01]: agree.
01:04:44.696 --> 01:04:45.156
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
01:04:45.216 --> 01:04:51.061
[SPEAKER_01]: Next up, Ironman number 11 from Marvel written by Joshua Williams in Art by Luka Moreska.
01:04:51.081 --> 01:04:57.227
[SPEAKER_01]: We had a big revelation the last issue which is the return of Ironman's Butler.
01:04:57.327 --> 01:04:58.588
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe it is Pete.
01:04:58.648 --> 01:05:02.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Happy Hogan who is back from the dead and ready to battle again.
01:05:03.072 --> 01:05:08.417
[SPEAKER_01]: We of course explore what type of sandwiches he's going to make for Tony over the course of the issue and that's the big plot point.
01:05:09.037 --> 01:05:17.684
[SPEAKER_01]: The other thing that's going on here, as you can tell from this very verboting cover, is terrible things happened with the fantastic four who are terrifying this issue.
01:05:18.024 --> 01:05:19.385
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really hard and inflected.
01:05:20.133 --> 01:05:25.177
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this is really insane because Tony and Mr.
01:05:25.237 --> 01:05:41.770
[SPEAKER_00]: Fantastic, I say that in quotes, have a douche-douche off, just like who can be the worst person ever and they're like, you know, hey, we're trying to sit down and have a nice dinner and you guys are like, just fucking going off the deep end there.
01:05:43.591 --> 01:05:46.594
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanted to walk out like that lady didn't the comic, you know what I mean?
01:05:46.634 --> 01:05:47.294
[SPEAKER_00]: This is just,
01:05:48.135 --> 01:05:51.658
[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, it's just to be in the yard before it gets too far into it.
01:05:51.758 --> 01:06:02.306
[SPEAKER_01]: The reason I think the cover is so weird is you have read and sue in shadow, ominously holding Iron Man trapped in a bubble, but the actual plot of the book is they go on a double date.
01:06:02.807 --> 01:06:06.890
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm just curious what changed at what point like what happened there.
01:06:07.831 --> 01:06:08.131
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
01:06:08.311 --> 01:06:12.815
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it feels like the cover was just, it's a cool cover, like it makes you want to read the book.
01:06:13.215 --> 01:06:15.056
[SPEAKER_02]: Even though it's definitely not at all what happens into it.
01:06:15.117 --> 01:06:15.537
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like
01:06:16.612 --> 01:06:35.031
[SPEAKER_02]: they were just like make a cool couple cover of Iron Man versus a fantastic for even if that versus is just sort of a shitty chat like a little bit of a nasty little dinner but I we never see characters heroes do this and that's that's good like
01:06:35.892 --> 01:07:03.167
[SPEAKER_02]: you see them get together and be like oh guys that's not get into it and they're like of course we won't get into it and then immediately they're like you saw they're too you they are too you like genuinely quite yeah they're genuinely quite mean to each other which i thought was uh really fun and afterwards they're like sorry about that i got crazy i was like you just sat down and started being so nasty this is mean girl shit for inventors do you think she was right to leave the date though because i don't think so
01:07:03.907 --> 01:07:05.008
[SPEAKER_00]: What are you talking about?
01:07:05.548 --> 01:07:06.569
[SPEAKER_00]: Why would you sit there?
01:07:06.629 --> 01:07:10.712
[SPEAKER_00]: Why these two assholes that she has no You know what I mean?
01:07:10.732 --> 01:07:12.193
[SPEAKER_00]: Like what the fuck is she supposed to do?
01:07:12.253 --> 01:07:12.613
[SPEAKER_00]: Sit there.
01:07:12.653 --> 01:07:13.073
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
01:07:13.113 --> 01:07:14.034
[SPEAKER_00]: Talk to them on.
01:07:15.542 --> 01:07:17.243
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I have a conversation.
01:07:17.323 --> 01:07:19.966
[SPEAKER_01]: Make fun of them getting the interest in the conversation.
01:07:19.986 --> 01:07:20.766
[SPEAKER_00]: It's awful.
01:07:20.906 --> 01:07:22.287
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an awful conversation.
01:07:23.248 --> 01:07:24.449
[SPEAKER_00]: Get the fuck out of there.
01:07:24.609 --> 01:07:26.611
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no sit there and put up now.
01:07:26.631 --> 01:07:27.111
[SPEAKER_00]: No, that's it.
01:07:27.652 --> 01:07:28.152
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
01:07:28.192 --> 01:07:30.374
[SPEAKER_02]: There'd just be in a little nasty, but it's interesting.
01:07:30.754 --> 01:07:32.816
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like I'm not bailing out on that.
01:07:32.916 --> 01:07:35.118
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, I want to grab an entree.
01:07:35.198 --> 01:07:35.778
[SPEAKER_02]: Give me an app.
01:07:36.539 --> 01:07:38.320
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, predstics.
01:07:38.341 --> 01:07:39.682
[SPEAKER_02]: Get the predstics going.
01:07:39.742 --> 01:07:41.023
[SPEAKER_01]: Some sort of unlimited sounds.
01:07:41.043 --> 01:07:42.944
[SPEAKER_01]: You better suppose to be on the same team.
01:07:44.718 --> 01:07:51.341
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it's the number one restaurant in New York, which I believe is still the Olive Garden and it's checking this down.
01:07:52.061 --> 01:07:52.541
[SPEAKER_02]: There we go.
01:07:52.641 --> 01:07:54.282
[SPEAKER_02]: It has seven Michelin stars.
01:07:54.742 --> 01:07:58.564
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow, that's a nice, sorry, sorry, seven Michelin tires.
01:07:59.664 --> 01:08:01.485
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just rolling around the wall.
01:08:01.525 --> 01:08:04.786
[SPEAKER_01]: Dropping it up because it keeps like tipping over a little bit.
01:08:04.946 --> 01:08:06.887
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, the tables are wobbly, yes.
01:08:07.467 --> 01:08:09.049
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely, just one more thing on that.
01:08:09.069 --> 01:08:11.130
[SPEAKER_02]: We didn't do too much to actually talk about the book.
01:08:11.411 --> 01:08:16.055
[SPEAKER_02]: But what Joshua Williams is doing here is he's making Iron Man suspect.
01:08:16.615 --> 01:08:30.868
[SPEAKER_02]: There's so much of that in his run and I'm curious, like, I feel like that's been a sort of half attempted before where it's like, hey, he's a little, he drinks too much, or he's just a little bit too obsessed with winning of all those things.
01:08:31.448 --> 01:08:39.852
[SPEAKER_02]: We're questioning his abilities on a lot of fronts now, and that's an interesting place to have a hero, like Iron Man, who his whole thing is capability.
01:08:40.552 --> 01:08:41.372
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's cool.
01:08:41.553 --> 01:08:45.514
[SPEAKER_02]: I like where we end this in a place where he shouldn't be saying and doing what he's saying and doing.
01:08:46.075 --> 01:08:49.116
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's to question your hero so hard, I think.
01:08:50.847 --> 01:09:10.356
[SPEAKER_01]: absolute green lantern number twenty from dc comics written by all uing art by cid kodian the first half of the book were catching up with carol ferris as well as the man hunter arc that was followed in the past couple of issues but it's the back half of the issue that i think is the real highlight as joe and the rest of the lantern core
01:09:11.016 --> 01:09:20.139
[SPEAKER_01]: return to evergreen the site where of the town where we originally started this book and make some big changes and big declarations.
01:09:21.379 --> 01:09:34.763
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like I said, I was really, we've been I think kind of split of this book just in terms of sometimes it feels like it's too weird for its own good, but getting back to basics here at the end felt
01:09:35.063 --> 01:09:35.383
[SPEAKER_01]: great.
01:09:35.563 --> 01:09:36.684
[SPEAKER_01]: I like these characters.
01:09:36.724 --> 01:09:37.885
[SPEAKER_01]: I like this realignment.
01:09:38.525 --> 01:09:44.709
[SPEAKER_01]: It does feel a little loosey with the football where I feel like valuing next issue will be like, and everybody's inside out, it upside down.
01:09:44.890 --> 01:09:50.053
[SPEAKER_01]: But if it sticks with this, then establishing their lantern core on earth.
01:09:50.233 --> 01:09:51.134
[SPEAKER_01]: That's very cool.
01:09:51.914 --> 01:10:00.520
[SPEAKER_02]: You can almost feel the handoff from the like sort of complicated backstory with these other characters in the Carol Ferris part.
01:10:00.840 --> 01:10:23.928
[SPEAKER_02]: to like here's some actually big ringsling in action where some of the more confusing stuff that we've been with with all of the different lanterns in space is now just in motion and we get to see them talking to each other moving straight up killing dudes yeah uh Pete you must have liked that part that these dudes are establishes as bad because they're only snorting regular.
01:10:24.650 --> 01:10:35.202
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh man, yeah, I mean for losers, surprisingly violent, first off cool cover, great art, interesting kind of character stuff.
01:10:35.663 --> 01:10:43.692
[SPEAKER_00]: The Joe using her ring like that was her intense, the finger removal was just, I thought that was awesome.
01:10:44.233 --> 01:10:45.033
[SPEAKER_02]: You great!
01:10:45.694 --> 01:11:04.835
[SPEAKER_02]: just to to it was that due to his shooting at her and she just he oinks his trigger finger yeah green lantern power that's why you have green lanterns mostly making like little toys and punching gloves and like yeah take a finger that would be oh yeah like also was interesting was like you know usually the kind of the
01:11:05.275 --> 01:11:20.388
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the green street comes out of the ring and like, you know, it turns into the Nipro whatever, but it that it wasn't connected to a ring which was interesting that she was just kind of created this finger grabber that was kind of floating around on its own, which was I was like, oh, wow, that's interesting.
01:11:21.489 --> 01:11:30.236
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I was really surprised how violent this was also the Quarred help us lady was very intense the
01:11:31.792 --> 01:11:55.306
[SPEAKER_00]: cat to my black star lady so yeah there's a lot going on but the line at the end was a little corny for me I felt a little out of character it was like I was like oh you're just I mean that's just kind of like a you're almost referencing a TV show but art you know but other than that I was I'm having a great
time which line at the end of the issue she says
01:12:03.300 --> 01:12:03.661
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
01:12:03.681 --> 01:12:04.501
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought that was cool.
01:12:04.561 --> 01:12:09.464
[SPEAKER_02]: I like that she built up the the diner and I don't know.
01:12:09.484 --> 01:12:10.484
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought that was nice.
01:12:10.824 --> 01:12:23.051
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and the yabba that had a dude in bother me at all Powering her car with her feet Yeah, the part where she slid down the dinosaur after work was a little much, but you know what it is when it is it's a living
01:12:25.051 --> 01:12:42.930
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, what do we move on talk about exquisite corpses fox mask killer number two from tiny onion and image comics written by Chase Grayson art by Adam Gorham this is a prequel series following the titular fox mask killer who thinks she has escaped the long arm of the assassins
01:12:45.528 --> 01:12:55.717
[SPEAKER_01]: organization that she has a killed no it's going to say situation which is not it is a situation yeah it's an assassin situation it's a situation
01:12:56.977 --> 01:12:57.157
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
01:12:57.717 --> 01:12:59.138
[SPEAKER_01]: In any case, we're following along.
01:12:59.178 --> 01:13:06.221
[SPEAKER_01]: She ends up in Braille did another situation throughout this issue before it leaps back to her assassin situation.
01:13:06.581 --> 01:13:07.601
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you guys think about this?
01:13:08.522 --> 01:13:10.563
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, Alex really misses the jersey, sure.
01:13:11.003 --> 01:13:12.123
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I thought this.
01:13:12.143 --> 01:13:13.564
[SPEAKER_00]: Great show.
01:13:14.164 --> 01:13:15.385
[SPEAKER_00]: The twist in terms.
01:13:16.465 --> 01:13:18.327
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh man, I think she's a lad.
01:13:19.349 --> 01:13:21.571
[SPEAKER_00]: My buddy used to produce producer on that show.
01:13:22.732 --> 01:13:24.434
[SPEAKER_00]: The twists and turns in this are great.
01:13:25.375 --> 01:13:32.824
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I thought that this was very kind of interesting, but I love the art and the action.
01:13:32.924 --> 01:13:34.526
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, very much enjoy this.
01:13:35.803 --> 01:13:51.495
[SPEAKER_02]: I like to duel timelines we're getting here, seeing her become what she became and then deal with the repercussions of the actions, even though it still is, I am a little bit poisoned by Lone Gunman wanting to see the future more.
01:13:52.535 --> 01:13:59.481
[SPEAKER_02]: So I do want to see this push through and get to more exquisite corpses stuff because was it the super cocaine that poisoned you?
01:14:05.361 --> 01:14:06.402
[SPEAKER_02]: the opposite of poison.
01:14:07.823 --> 01:14:14.989
[SPEAKER_02]: But I still do like this and the fact that these two books are sort of giving us a little pincher on exquisite corpses.
01:14:15.970 --> 01:14:22.436
[SPEAKER_02]: I was skeptical of this whole project being a middle ground between the two seasons of exquisite corpses.
01:14:22.496 --> 01:14:25.378
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, I don't know, is it going to work to keep a sort of on the hook?
01:14:25.978 --> 01:14:29.381
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm going to say it is definitely working on me anyway.
01:14:31.075 --> 01:14:36.820
[SPEAKER_01]: In Fertil Hall, versus Spider-Man, never won the Marvel by Philip Kennedy Johnson, art by Havir Apena.
01:14:36.880 --> 01:14:44.706
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the third of four one shots that are following the infernal Hulk's takeover of the Marvel Universe.
01:14:44.927 --> 01:14:49.390
[SPEAKER_01]: In this issue, after the fantastic four, were beaten last issue, I thought.
01:14:50.231 --> 01:14:58.253
[SPEAKER_01]: The heroes are sent a message by Reed Richards, the last ditch effort to stop the infernal Hulk from corrupting the entire Earth.
01:14:58.733 --> 01:15:01.393
[SPEAKER_01]: And Spider-Man goes to try and stop it.
01:15:01.873 --> 01:15:15.056
[SPEAKER_01]: However, in the midst of trying to take care of Reed Richards essentially dying plan, he finds out that key to the infernal Hulk's plan is none other than the daughter of Luke Cage and Jessica Jones.
01:15:15.536 --> 01:15:18.017
[SPEAKER_01]: So he plays keep away the entire issue
01:15:19.897 --> 01:15:24.620
[SPEAKER_01]: leading to something that is almost as disgusting as what P.K.J.
01:15:24.680 --> 01:15:26.581
[SPEAKER_01]: is doing over in Midnight Spider-Man.
01:15:27.842 --> 01:15:29.342
[SPEAKER_01]: Pete, you're not ain't no, no, no.
01:15:29.923 --> 01:15:33.425
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this guy hates Spider-Man, he hates Spider-Man, he hates Spider-Man.
01:15:33.445 --> 01:15:45.051
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this is crazy dude, this, first off, this is a crazy cover, you know, we're looking at this, I was like, oh man, I'm really worried about Spider-Man, and then I opened it and just, uh,
01:15:45.491 --> 01:15:55.176
[SPEAKER_00]: you know, a Spider-Man basically dies saving Luke Cage's kid, RIP Spidey, but man, at least the kid's safe, right?
01:15:56.537 --> 01:15:59.779
[SPEAKER_00]: This is just, I'm so worried about this Hulk.
01:16:00.419 --> 01:16:09.304
[SPEAKER_00]: This is really hard for me because I'm used to rooting for Hulk, but Hulk is a villain in this, and I, it's just very stressful.
01:16:10.004 --> 01:16:23.610
[SPEAKER_00]: in a way that I don't know who can stop this Hulk I don't know how we're gonna win this one and Hulk is just gonna run through the Marvel Universe killing everybody and it's like why do I gotta keep reading this?
01:16:23.630 --> 01:16:33.955
[SPEAKER_00]: This is fucking heartbreaking but uh I don't know how we're gonna stop this dive but that really the the art is just so creepy and incredible and all the right ways
01:16:34.748 --> 01:16:41.669
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, this chalk is quite infernalies killed Wolverine, the Fantastic Four Spider-Man.
01:16:41.789 --> 01:16:43.269
[SPEAKER_02]: Up next is that the
Avengers, what do you think?
01:16:43.950 --> 01:16:44.910
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we're doing it.
01:16:44.930 --> 01:16:45.770
[SPEAKER_00]: Can we bet none?
01:16:45.850 --> 01:16:46.630
[SPEAKER_00]: Count, what's Count?
01:16:46.650 --> 01:16:48.050
[SPEAKER_00]: She bet none for this one.
01:16:48.070 --> 01:16:48.270
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
01:16:48.290 --> 01:16:53.691
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to check out she on this because I'm going to put all my money on for another one.
01:16:54.011 --> 01:16:55.652
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't approve of any of that stuff.
01:16:55.692 --> 01:17:01.413
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is absolutely garbage, but can we have bet on comic book story lines because we really want to see it.
01:17:03.973 --> 01:17:04.714
[SPEAKER_00]: like winning?
01:17:06.356 --> 01:17:09.619
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that'd be some bad bets if we...
01:17:11.313 --> 01:17:15.076
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the, everyone's like insider these monsters using their inside knowledge.
01:17:15.136 --> 01:17:16.757
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we're what if we can do for comics.
01:17:20.940 --> 01:17:22.382
[SPEAKER_00]: Make that comic book money.
01:17:22.402 --> 01:17:23.663
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this is really bad.
01:17:23.763 --> 01:17:29.407
[SPEAKER_02]: But what I do know this stuff, but my benefit from it with my little dumb knowledge.
01:17:29.807 --> 01:17:30.828
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, yes, please.
01:17:30.848 --> 01:17:34.131
[SPEAKER_02]: This book is, I like,
01:17:36.563 --> 01:17:39.244
[SPEAKER_02]: He's, a piggy day is doing something just so unprecedented.
01:17:39.264 --> 01:17:44.427
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like he's talked about it as he's taking a line wide crossover and just making it in one book.
01:17:45.467 --> 01:17:46.428
[SPEAKER_02]: The story feels big.
01:17:46.468 --> 01:17:47.528
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels devastating.
01:17:47.768 --> 01:17:50.590
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I feel like we know this isn't.
01:17:51.830 --> 01:17:56.813
[SPEAKER_02]: continuity, eventually this has to be reset, obviously, but it's still working.
01:17:56.873 --> 01:18:05.537
[SPEAKER_02]: The upsetness that I feel in here is real, even though I know this is not the last I'll see of this spider, man.
01:18:07.518 --> 01:18:18.423
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'll just add on that this felt structured like a classic Spider-Man takes on a way bigger guy than him issue in a really nice way.
01:18:18.583 --> 01:18:26.147
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you got that with a juggernaut, you get that with the Hulk, even the Infernal Hulk calls out, no way you can take me and Spider-Man can.
01:18:26.367 --> 01:18:35.412
[SPEAKER_01]: But it a really beautiful heroic way seeing Spider-Man try to stay one or two steps ahead of the Infernal Hulk while keeping a kid safe.
01:18:36.312 --> 01:18:43.096
[SPEAKER_01]: It's horror, but it is also really diving into what makes these heroes these heroes at the same time.
01:18:43.596 --> 01:18:44.656
[SPEAKER_02]: It's so true to the character.
01:18:44.676
--> 01:18:48.619
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's reminded me of the Jokelli Hellgate issue from a while back.
01:18:49.019 --> 01:18:55.102
[SPEAKER_02]: It's structured very similarly, so it feels so true, except he just turns into a giant monster at the end.
01:18:55.661 --> 01:19:01.083
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you guys going to belt a bed on the Spider-Man or in Furnal Hulk if we're going on calcium?
01:19:01.503 --> 01:19:04.725
[SPEAKER_02]: If you aren't a bed on, I mean if you aren't a bed on Spider-Man, I'll take it.
01:19:05.265 --> 01:19:07.246
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and so sorry.
01:19:07.266 --> 01:19:09.947
[SPEAKER_01]: We're betting on this after the issue came out already.
01:19:09.967 --> 01:19:11.047
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, yep, yep, okay.
01:19:11.347 --> 01:19:12.188
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that how that works?
01:19:12.548 --> 01:19:13.728
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, I'm ready.
01:19:13.788 --> 01:19:18.550
[SPEAKER_01]: These sites are in that negative for humanity, so I haven't explored them too much, so you tell me.
01:19:19.191 --> 01:19:23.272
[SPEAKER_02]: Peaches, bebby, a hundred bucks that the nicks are going to lose the finals last year.
01:19:25.433 --> 01:19:25.853
[SPEAKER_01]: no way.
01:19:26.494 --> 01:19:27.514
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I got that one.
01:19:29.195 --> 01:19:35.679
[SPEAKER_01]: The demon number two from DC Comics by James Harrin, not Jason Aaron, just to be clear for anybody.
01:19:35.719 --> 01:19:38.240
[SPEAKER_01]: James, James, Harrin.
01:19:38.720 --> 01:19:42.863
[SPEAKER_01]: In this issue, the demon is fighting his evil brothers,
01:19:43.963 --> 01:19:47.725
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's a pretty epic battle as you do it with brothers.
01:19:47.865 --> 01:19:52.446
[SPEAKER_00]: No, this worth it for the art alone I really love the art on this.
01:19:52.867 --> 01:20:11.874
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think it's such cool character design and such cool kind of takes I'm characters that we know Yeah, it's kind of just a fun idea while executed kind of fun to see the demon battle as brothers and what's gonna happen here So yeah, I'm having a blast with this
01:20:12.594 --> 01:20:14.195
[SPEAKER_02]: This feels very Kirby-esque.
01:20:14.655 --> 01:20:24.621
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels very modern, but also so Kirby-E, and a good way, truly much more of a knockdown dragout battle issue than I expected here.
01:20:25.481 --> 01:20:29.623
[SPEAKER_02]: But still, there's some nice bubbling backstory happening with more.
01:20:29.703 --> 01:20:34.046
[SPEAKER_02]: I expect we're going to get a lot more Jason blood in the next issue, and that's all right by me.
01:20:35.625 --> 01:20:42.869
[SPEAKER_01]: My orcana number twenty for boob studios written by Jeff LeMier, art by Latisia Katanichi and Jeff LeMier.
01:20:43.089 --> 01:20:54.796
[SPEAKER_01]: If this issue our main character has left town for the big city, and she is given up her destiny as a fortune teller, but it's always drawing her back.
01:20:55.937 --> 01:20:57.097
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you think?
01:20:57.117 --> 01:20:59.759
[SPEAKER_01]: We, like we talked about the last time we missed a couple of the issues.
01:20:59.779 --> 01:21:00.039
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a
01:21:05.282 --> 01:21:10.965
[SPEAKER_01]: Now we're getting back to this main character Justin, what do you feel what do you think about this Justin, how you feeling?
01:21:11.466 --> 01:21:12.827
[SPEAKER_01]: You're okay.
01:21:13.387 --> 01:21:14.047
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm okay.
01:21:14.327 --> 01:21:14.728
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm okay.
01:21:15.028 --> 01:21:15.488
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm okay.
01:21:15.568 --> 01:21:17.189
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm okay.
01:21:17.869 --> 01:21:20.491
[SPEAKER_02]: I This is great emotional story here.
01:21:20.991 --> 01:21:31.998
[SPEAKER_02]: I do feel like we've been doing a lot of disparate backstory And I want to get back to a spine and maybe that's what this issue is sort of setting up in the next issue because this does feel very like
01:21:33.290 --> 01:21:36.792
[SPEAKER_02]: zero issue e as for an a major arc.
01:21:38.653 --> 01:21:43.977
[SPEAKER_02]: But I mean, I still like this series like the the characters are interesting.
01:21:44.017 --> 01:21:45.598
[SPEAKER_02]: The backstory is nice.
01:21:45.838 --> 01:21:48.019
[SPEAKER_02]: It just, uh, these a little bit more direction.
01:21:48.079 --> 01:21:48.279
[SPEAKER_02]: I think.
01:21:48.299 --> 01:21:49.480
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, interesting.
01:21:50.241 --> 01:21:51.922
[SPEAKER_00]: I really love the art.
01:21:52.362 --> 01:21:55.904
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a sucker for anything that kind of comes close to a watercolor type of look.
01:21:56.444 --> 01:21:58.025
[SPEAKER_00]: And this definitely does that.
01:21:58.686 --> 01:21:58.866
[SPEAKER_00]: Um,
01:22:00.278 --> 01:22:03.060
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a lack of big reveals in this issue.
01:22:03.120 --> 01:22:06.742
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we find out Grandpa Heng himself and your mom is dying.
01:22:06.822 --> 01:22:09.844
[SPEAKER_00]: So that is a lot going on, but man.
01:22:11.045 --> 01:22:13.967
[SPEAKER_00]: Art is just creepy, but great.
01:22:14.267 --> 01:22:17.429
[SPEAKER_00]: And the story is very unique and interesting.
01:22:17.550 --> 01:22:22.173
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, it's really original.
01:22:22.393 --> 01:22:25.215
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, it's hard to deny it.
01:22:26.345 --> 01:22:35.253
[SPEAKER_01]: Uncanny X-Men, number 38 from Marvel Written by Gal Simone, art by Luciano Vecchio, bunch of things going on in this issue in a bunch of different places.
01:22:35.974 --> 01:22:47.625
[SPEAKER_01]: First of all, Dazzler is leading the charge to dismantle the former prison, Grimmolkin prison, that is an Xavier school, she recruits Monet and Rogue to do that.
01:22:48.266 --> 01:23:00.763
[SPEAKER_01]: Meanwhile, Sarah Gaunt, the hag was escaped from the school, is assembling a X-Men team of her own and made up of mutants who have been experimented on and turned into little Wolverines.
01:23:01.343 --> 01:23:05.209
[SPEAKER_01]: And she is using them to attack and potentially kill.
01:23:06.002 --> 01:23:10.568
[SPEAKER_01]: one of the new x-man in the books specifically mutina is who they come after.
01:23:10.988 --> 01:23:12.190
[SPEAKER_00]: Pete, you have a question.
01:23:12.570 --> 01:23:16.074
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry, I just wanted to, you know, last time you were like, hey, Justin, how you doing?
01:23:16.114 --> 01:23:19.138
[SPEAKER_00]: And I wanted to take this time to be like, hey, Alex, how you doing?
01:23:19.679 --> 01:23:21.080
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, thanks so much for asking me.
01:23:21.281 --> 01:23:21.741
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really nice.
01:23:21.901 --> 01:23:24.565
[SPEAKER_01]: Frustrated that you're not telling me what you think about this book.
01:23:24.945 --> 01:23:32.711
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I would like to first love he's just start by saying Gal Simone is writing those shit out of this.
01:23:32.771 --> 01:23:34.553
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean she is killing this comic.
01:23:34.573 --> 01:23:37.675
[SPEAKER_00]: She is on one This is she is sim one.
01:23:37.995 --> 01:23:38.416
[SPEAKER_00]: She's sim.
01:23:38.516 --> 01:23:40.037
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, oh, all right.
01:23:40.077 --> 01:23:40.878
[SPEAKER_01]: Does that make sense?
01:23:41.038 --> 01:23:43.079
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure In a way does
01:23:44.100 --> 01:23:45.661
[SPEAKER_02]: that.
01:23:46.002 --> 01:24:00.773
[SPEAKER_00]: And one, um, yeah, I, this is an intense, issue, uh, Sarah Gaunt is just, woo, all sorts of scary in ways, you know, uh, I was ready for, um, she can really transform into some nightmare type of situations.
01:24:01.733 --> 01:24:04.334
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, willing to spend the money, you know what I mean?
01:24:04.374 --> 01:24:24.780
[SPEAKER_00]: Real estate is a great investment and Sarah Gantt knows that, so, uh, but yeah, I've been really been impressed with on Kenny Xman, really kind of crazy story that makes me feel, uh, you don't reminds me of old Xman, so, um, yeah, I'm, I'm on board, uh, love the art, cool story.
01:24:25.220 --> 01:24:26.240
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, Galsamone.
01:24:26.880 --> 01:24:29.041
[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing gets Pete's motor humming.
01:24:29.501 --> 01:24:44.257
[SPEAKER_02]: like a real estate deal in a car oh man clearly that funny move it makes Pete smile Meanwhile there is so much other big emotional action happening what an issue for dazzler I love this.
01:24:44.417 --> 01:24:51.685
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the way you check in with sobs is the dazzler at I love the way okay I didn't realize that's why you were checking in but no
01:24:52.460 --> 01:24:55.942
[SPEAKER_02]: I love the way Rogan Monet show up and Rogan's like, what's up, dad's?
01:24:55.962 --> 01:24:56.622
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, dad's cool nickname.
01:24:56.642 --> 01:25:17.392
[SPEAKER_02]: Say big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big
big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big
01:25:17.858 --> 01:25:42.607
[SPEAKER_01]: spoiler for the end of the issue but mutina dies maybe and I really like this character and it feels like yeah that was her we need to spend more time with so I hope she's not actually dead yeah yeah we've talked a lot about mutina in particular because she keeps showing up at this book she had a lot of fun stuff to do in the alien invasion arc in particular but just and I think you and I have talked about like
01:25:43.327 --> 01:25:44.527
[SPEAKER_01]: What's going on with this character?
01:25:44.567 --> 01:25:45.448
[SPEAKER_01]: They're pushing her a lot.
01:25:45.468 --> 01:25:47.088
[SPEAKER_01]: We can don't quite have a handle honor.
01:25:47.488 --> 01:25:52.990
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'll tell you, watching her die, my reaction was, oh no, don't kill mutida.
01:25:53.390 --> 01:25:53.730
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
01:25:53.770 --> 01:25:59.892
[SPEAKER_01]: Clearly, I have become far more connected to mutida than I thought I was over the course of this run.
01:26:00.332 --> 01:26:00.832
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we're similar.
01:26:00.852 --> 01:26:02.033
[SPEAKER_02]: Sim one goes.
01:26:02.373 --> 01:26:03.073
[SPEAKER_02]: Be found.
01:26:04.354 --> 01:26:06.615
[SPEAKER_02]: We are Sim 2 to Sim 1.
01:26:06.635 --> 01:26:07.155
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go.
01:26:07.435 --> 01:26:08.416
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this book is great.
01:26:08.456 --> 01:26:13.999
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the best X-Men book on the Stads, the best ongoing one at the very least.
01:26:14.819 --> 01:26:17.901
[SPEAKER_01]: Just the way that Galsamone is, Palisic stuff is great.
01:26:17.941 --> 01:26:22.204
[SPEAKER_01]: Leachianne Vecchio, the art here is awesome.
01:26:22.324 --> 01:26:27.407
[SPEAKER_01]: Particularly, I love the designs of this new Sarah gone to X-Men team.
01:26:27.447 --> 01:26:29.668
[SPEAKER_01]: They feel very distinctive right off the bat.
01:26:30.088 --> 01:26:30.929
[SPEAKER_01]: which is cool.
01:26:31.470 --> 01:26:44.508
[SPEAKER_01]: I like Pete was saying the idea of Sarah God turning from her old sweet blood form into a horrible monster at a moment's notice is very well done again artistically.
01:26:44.628 --> 01:26:45.509
[SPEAKER_01]: So cool stuff.
01:26:46.170 --> 01:27:09.282
[SPEAKER_01]: Joe de Hacks in the shadow of death number two for these comics by Michael Walsh we have Joe de Hacks refusing to investigate a supernatural mystery of the old West because he's not gonna pop those scars one more time he's done with that instead the supernatural's going a little crazy in town and he can't avoid it because it is coming straight for him oh man
01:27:10.393 --> 01:27:27.960
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, yeah, just this turned this really first issue was a little bit more of like, okay, you know, you know, Jonah Hacks, this is a kind of our darker tail, a little bit more of a monster story, but in this one, it's really, uh, very horror kind of reveal here.
01:27:28.080 --> 01:27:33.902
[SPEAKER_00]: So, uh, very scary, um, uh, I was not ready for this, um,
01:27:34.402 --> 01:27:39.203
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, you know, that girl almost gets eaten by a tiger, I was like, oh my god, this is fucking crazy.
01:27:39.684 --> 01:27:44.025
[SPEAKER_00]: So a little bit more on the horror side than we're used to from Jonah Hacks.
01:27:44.945 --> 01:27:49.226
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, this is a kind of an interesting take on a character that I love very much.
01:27:50.386 --> 01:27:51.347
[SPEAKER_02]: I like this so much.
01:27:51.467 --> 01:27:57.988
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like it's a great, deeply disturbing horror Western on multiple fronts.
01:28:04.244 --> 01:28:15.427
[SPEAKER_02]: great villain reveal of a dude who just like cracks open like a like a gingerbread man and reveals a horrifying inside which I thought was cool.
01:28:15.967 --> 01:28:31.170
[SPEAKER_02]: Jonah just trying to his whole thing is like resisting the call to heroism so hard and I'm like bro what do you have to do get a knife to the ribcage that you go on and that's so that's his on switch I hope to get
01:28:36.103 --> 01:28:42.687
[SPEAKER_01]: Amherfist, a number three from Image Comics written by Rick Remender, art by Steve Epting in this issue.
01:28:42.707 --> 01:28:46.609
[SPEAKER_01]: Hammerfist finally gets his hammerfist, but he doesn't use it.
01:28:46.669 --> 01:28:48.490
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not fisting anything in this issue.
01:28:48.770 --> 01:28:49.630
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, he's not.
01:28:50.010 --> 01:28:50.711
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not.
01:28:50.831 --> 01:28:52.312
[SPEAKER_01]: He's refusing the fist.
01:28:52.332 --> 01:28:53.972
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what he's using to pop his fist.
01:28:54.033 --> 01:28:55.333
[SPEAKER_01]: If you can't wait to burn him.
01:28:55.353 --> 01:28:56.614
[SPEAKER_00]: That's our fisting thing.
01:28:57.054 --> 01:29:18.488
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, uh, bring on the fist, I say, but until then we are getting some sort of bizarre, a love crafty and cult is worshiping a thing and doing some sacrifices to it, they turn into horrible monsters that you can see here on the cover, uh, and then they chase after old fisty and he still won activate his fist.
01:29:19.432 --> 01:29:27.679
[SPEAKER_02]: I love how much of this issue is these people becoming monsters and he's been like what the fuck holy shit Many moves a little bit and he's like holy
shit.
01:29:27.699 --> 01:29:31.121
[SPEAKER_00]: It's even crazier over here You're even more fucked up.
01:29:31.141 --> 01:29:33.103
[SPEAKER_02]: I got to get this fiscal and what is this thing?
01:29:33.123 --> 01:29:44.632
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know oh my Well, they're even closer to me and they got weirder hands than I thought it's a wild like spectator issue of this comic But I'm on board the great horrifying images.
01:29:44.652 --> 01:29:44.672
[SPEAKER_02]: I
01:29:45.713 --> 01:29:54.952
[SPEAKER_02]: This is such a different style of story from Rick Romander, very like grind house, like parade of psychopaths.
01:29:55.733 --> 01:29:57.337
[SPEAKER_02]: And I like that flavor.
01:29:58.187 --> 01:29:58.947
[SPEAKER_00]: It is different.
01:29:59.047 --> 01:30:01.268
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a little unsettling for sure.
01:30:01.328 --> 01:30:03.789
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this scary cover really freaks me out.
01:30:04.249 --> 01:30:13.733
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the shit gets even crazier on the insides that devil baby kind of turns that poor sacrifice laid into a fucking naked monster.
01:30:13.753 --> 01:30:25.858
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, holy shit, this is not my jam, but in my notes, I had Fistel and Zalbatron said Fisty, so we're closed on that, but it will
01:30:26.178 --> 01:30:28.119
[SPEAKER_00]: Fisto's already a character there, right?
01:30:28.239 --> 01:30:29.660
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, a human character.
01:30:29.880 --> 01:30:31.181
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, this is a new character.
01:30:31.361 --> 01:30:32.102
[SPEAKER_02]: May a Fisto?
01:30:32.782 --> 01:30:33.502
[SPEAKER_02]: No, number one.
01:30:33.542 --> 01:30:33.923
[SPEAKER_02]: Fisto?
01:30:34.263 --> 01:30:53.894
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:30:55.015 --> 01:30:58.377
[SPEAKER_01]: He, I, I want to get fisted by this comic, okay?
01:30:58.417 --> 01:31:00.519
[SPEAKER_01]: He will fist you're gonna get hammered.
01:31:00.899 --> 01:31:02.040
[SPEAKER_02]: You're gonna absolutely hammer.
01:31:02.100 --> 01:31:07.123
[SPEAKER_01]: If anybody knows recommender, you tell him Alex Salvin wants to get fisted, okay?
01:31:07.163 --> 01:31:10.246
[SPEAKER_02]: That's yeah, Alex, I think you want to be afraid of freaks in here.
01:31:10.266 --> 01:31:11.847
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you're about to get a hammer fisted.
01:31:12.187 --> 01:31:14.549
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, yeah, fist me next issue, remember.
01:31:15.607 --> 01:31:20.609
[SPEAKER_01]: Last but not least, super bad the stranger number three from DC comics by Wes Craig.
01:31:20.629 --> 01:31:34.196
[SPEAKER_01]: This is taking Superman back to his beginnings and in this issue we
see a new look at the first meeting between Superman and not Lewis Lane, as well as him finding out finally about Lex Luther.
01:31:35.056 --> 01:31:36.417
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I love this series.
01:31:36.457 --> 01:31:38.119
[SPEAKER_01]: This is gorgeously drawn by West Craig.
01:31:38.139 --> 01:31:40.180
[SPEAKER_01]: We talked to West about this couple of months back.
01:31:40.240 --> 01:31:44.964
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's clearly putting his heart and soul into every single paddle here and you can feel it.
01:31:45.425 --> 01:31:46.285
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, but what do you guys think?
01:31:46.305 --> 01:31:48.227
[SPEAKER_01]: Carry feeling about the third issue.
01:31:48.738 --> 01:32:07.881
[SPEAKER_02]: the two things that strike me from reading this issue and remembering our interview are one he spent like I believe over a decade thinking about this comic before he brought it to bear and I feel like I feel that in the the writing and the are here both and two he was so coy about talking about the
01:32:08.642 --> 01:32:32.746
[SPEAKER_02]: social underpinnings of his version of Superman when that's what this series is a hundred percent about in this issue you see him sort of breaking the law and being much more of a Batman than a Superman who and it's really refreshing to see that here so I think that's really well done and seeing Superman as an orphan and all of that as an outsider in America as opposed to someone
01:32:36.428 --> 01:32:47.014
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not saying I prefer that origin, this sort of original origin of Superman to what we are generally using in the continuity now, but it's certainly more compelling, I think.
01:32:47.915 --> 01:32:50.677
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, yeah, I just gotta talk about the art for a little bit.
01:32:50.697 --> 01:32:54.879
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it has such a great retro feel that is really fun for Superman.
01:32:56.240 --> 01:33:01.463
[SPEAKER_00]: Also, the kind of lowest, like, hey, I gotta tell you about this Lex Luther character.
01:33:02.077 --> 01:33:17.795
[SPEAKER_00]: and then she has such a great line where she calls him a big blue idiot uh... yeah this is this is a lot of fun a lot of big swings being taken but also the art is just so uh... absolutely perfect for this comic it's uh... it's really impressive
01:33:18.916 --> 01:33:31.501
[SPEAKER_01]: And that is it for the stack, but before we go, it is time for our pick of the week, the one title, we would recommend if you've only got $5 to spend in your headed to the comic book shop, which we know you are.
01:33:31.521 --> 01:33:33.082
[SPEAKER_01]: What would you pick up?
01:33:33.182 --> 01:33:35.203
[SPEAKER_01]: Justin, do you have a pick of the week?
01:33:46.143 --> 01:33:48.884
[SPEAKER_01]: There are a lot of other very prepared here.
01:33:49.044 --> 01:33:51.264
[SPEAKER_01]: We have a very important last week.
01:33:51.524 --> 01:33:54.945
[SPEAKER_02]: I do, I like that we're not quite decided.
01:33:55.045 --> 01:33:59.846
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, if we came in cold and just rattle them off because I think our conversation influences our opinion.
01:33:59.906 --> 01:34:01.267
[SPEAKER_02]: 100%.
01:34:01.327 --> 01:34:01.827
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you ready?
01:34:01.867 --> 01:34:02.667
[SPEAKER_00]: You seem ready.
01:34:02.827 --> 01:34:03.367
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm ready.
01:34:03.407 --> 01:34:04.487
[SPEAKER_00]: What you're asking?
01:34:04.527 --> 01:34:04.747
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
01:34:05.047 --> 01:34:06.588
[SPEAKER_00]: Because it's hard to just pick one.
01:34:06.628 --> 01:34:07.808
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I don't.
01:34:07.948 --> 01:34:08.328
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't.
01:34:08.368 --> 01:34:08.568
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't.
01:34:08.588 --> 01:34:09.168
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't.
01:34:09.268 --> 01:34:10.349
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't.
01:34:10.389 --> 01:34:12.169
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's your time.
01:34:12.309 --> 01:34:12.929
[SPEAKER_00]: But you had $10.
01:34:16.230 --> 01:34:18.631
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, that's how I don't have done.
01:34:19.411 --> 01:34:20.531
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go with a vendor.
01:34:20.732 --> 01:34:23.492
[SPEAKER_02]: He keeps his money in five other bills in his ass.
01:34:23.532 --> 01:34:26.553
[SPEAKER_02]: He's eat a round.
01:34:26.853 --> 01:34:27.834
[SPEAKER_00]: Vengeance number one.
01:34:27.854 --> 01:34:29.094
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
01:34:29.434 --> 01:34:30.815
[SPEAKER_00]: Why does this number one?
01:34:30.915 --> 01:34:35.696
[SPEAKER_00]: Because for the first time in 15 years, I have hope, oh, my God.
01:34:35.716 --> 01:34:37.617
[SPEAKER_00]: That's so darn it, sour.
01:34:38.317 --> 01:34:39.137
[SPEAKER_01]: What a dark time.
01:34:39.157 --> 01:34:39.657
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
01:34:39.677 --> 01:34:40.938
[SPEAKER_00]: Why do you ask it?
01:34:42.398 --> 01:34:43.339
[SPEAKER_01]: Justin, what about you?
01:34:43.379 --> 01:34:44.119
[SPEAKER_02]: You got a pick yet?
01:34:45.315 --> 01:34:48.157
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I feel sort of, uh, sort of crazy, but I was gonna take advantage of number one as well.
01:34:48.177 --> 01:34:58.445
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
01:34:59.148 --> 01:35:00.988
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly, what are you gonna find in my butt, Alex?
01:35:01.169 --> 01:35:11.531
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I, uh, this is a bit of a bummer because I thought there was a title you were gonna pick Justin so that I could pick another one, and now I have to decide between two of them.
01:35:11.551 --> 01:35:13.631
[SPEAKER_01]: Would you, would you, or are you going back and forth about?
01:35:13.811 --> 01:35:19.313
[SPEAKER_01]: I've got between exquisite corpses, lone gunmen, number one, and mad science division, number one.
01:35:19.353 --> 01:35:20.653
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think I was supposed to be both on loan guns.
01:35:20.733 --> 01:35:23.115
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I'm gonna go from bad science division number one.
01:35:23.195 --> 01:35:27.138
[SPEAKER_01]: I just really love the bold weirdness of that book.
01:35:27.198 --> 01:35:28.499
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought the art was great.
01:35:28.879 --> 01:35:31.321
[SPEAKER_01]: It just didn't feel like anything else in the stack.
01:35:31.421 --> 01:35:33.383
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just had a real blast.
01:35:33.403 --> 01:35:39.627
[SPEAKER_01]: That was definitely, I think maybe of all the books that we read this week, the one I was like, give me a issue to right now.
01:35:39.647 --> 01:35:43.951
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to read it because I, like you said, Justin, I have no idea where this is good girl.
01:35:44.051 --> 01:35:46.433
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a really fun feeling to be left with.
01:35:47.373 --> 01:35:48.414
[SPEAKER_01]: And that is it for the stack.
