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 common 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 --> 00:00:16.359
twenty twenty five. I would say that I'm worried that
6
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.160
this one show would be like the Dogwater Chitaro one,
7
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:21.519
but it's Ed Breeson again, and he gave a truly
8
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:25.960
spectacular one shot belt Palmyra, Pumira whatever, which did actually
9
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:28.879
feature a slightly younger panthrow, so I can only be
10
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.480
excited to give this a read. Yes, that's all I
11
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:33.679
really have to say on this, So let's just dive
12
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:39.079
directly into ThunderCats Panthrow number one. Written by Ed Breeson,
13
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.640
art by Dave A Costa, colors by Arancia Studio, with
14
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:46.920
letters by Jeff Eckelberry. When monsters attack on a solo
15
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.399
excursion beyond the boundaries of the Cat's Layer, PANTHERW is
16
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:53.439
enjoying the solitude of the wilderness and a brief respite
17
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.200
from his responsibilities when he is set upon by a
18
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:59.960
pack of giant, hostile creatures. For a warrior of his nature,
19
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.840
this has become the best vacation ever but as the
20
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.680
battle is joined, the true intent behind the attack is revealed,
21
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.280
and this secret could spell doom for all the Thundarians
22
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:16.719
on Third Earth. Another goddamn banger from Brison on this one, however,
23
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:21.519
that's illicit is not the comic I just read at all, Like,
24
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:25.000
he's not on vacation. He's literally going on a scouting
25
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:29.400
run to try and find other Thundarians that have been lost,
26
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.599
and that leads to him being sucked up into a
27
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.760
giant pillar of stuff and then some monsters' attack. But
28
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:40.120
there's no like, it's just that's a weird solicit. But anyways,
29
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:43.120
this is a banger, Okay. This is definitely less of
30
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.959
a character origin and more on the line of a
31
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:50.200
fantastic contemporary if that's the right word, story about so
32
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.799
much more. This is about Panther finding a warrior from
33
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.280
a generation past trapped in an astral prison, and the
34
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.840
Load full transcript
monsters there are not thereby malice, so kind of are.
35
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.120
But honestly, it's another story I don't want to spoil
36
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.879
because this is how you get someone immediately wanting to
37
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:12.719
check out the mainline ThunderCats books and whatever ThunderCats Lost is.
38
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.400
I haven't even read that yet that also sounds kind
39
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:18.919
of interesting. Short of it, Panther is awesome and little
40
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.439
fun fact was my favorite Thundercat growing up. Yes, it
41
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.120
was mostly because it was blue, Sue me. I was
42
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.000
like five when I first saw the show. And with
43
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.919
the art dave A Costa, once again, it looks great.
44
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.639
It's all around perfect for a Thundercat's book without ever
45
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.919
feeling like it's trying to work against the art to
46
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.280
be its own thing. What I mean by that is that,
47
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.919
especially in books that are primarily dialogue driven like this one,
48
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.159
you sometimes have artists who want to take away from
49
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.639
the emphasis on that by going, oh I could and
50
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:51.439
try and make it interesting. It's not the artist's fault,
51
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.080
but they want to also be at the table. So
52
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.240
it's great when you see someone being able to fire
53
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:58.599
at their best. So it's great when you see someone
54
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:02.479
firing on all cylinders, even when it's just primarily stills.
55
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.400
Although the action in this is also really good too. Honestly,
56
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.840
there's no just good creators on this. It is all great.
57
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.759
So I know this isn't the biggest or best breakdown,
58
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.719
but my verdict is collected. Yes, this is once again
59
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.479
me saying that you should absolutely have the book digital
60
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:23.120
to read, physical to read, and also collect and have
61
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.879
all of the variant covers. I am personally partial of
62
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.960
that Will robson Variant. They're all worth owing and my
63
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:30.879
bundle should be in next week so I can have
64
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.639
them all. I really need to start trying to find sponsors.
65
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.439
Stadium Comics cannot keep getting away with all of my
66
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.520
money without at least paying for an acknowledgement. Oh and
67
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:42.280
like usual, check out the mainline comics because these one
68
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:44.360
shots are just little pockets trying to get you to
69
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.199
go check that out. So what more can I say? Then?
70
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:52.919
Get this, check that out, go now. But maybe I'm wrong.
71
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:55.280
Let me know what your thoughts of this issue are
72
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.680

does it all, don't forget to a like, share, follow,
75
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:05.719
and do all the stuff that I'm being told is
76
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.879
important to continue doing these And while you're at it,
77
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.759
check out the other podcast from carry On Productions like
78

Killing fifteen minutes, Mithing fifteen minutes, and Blanking fifteen minutes.
79
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:19.240
They're all pretty sweet in their own way. More than anything, though,
80
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:20.800
staggled and inklings
