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

all new action packed reimagined from Enlightened author Fred Valenti

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

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

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