00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:05.000
You stop.
2
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:20.000
I'm pushing buttons because I'm wearing I push a button shirt, and you won't let me push the other button because you're afraid. He's afraid, people. He's afraid that if I push the button on the podcast, it'll mess things up. Now that I know I'm not a push.
3
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:21.000
I'm not afraid of you at all.
4
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:32.000
He's not afraid of me. He's afraid of whatever the system will do because know exactly. I had computer Have. Have issues. What. Oh. What are you doing over there today, dude?
5
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:38.000
What is this region of superheroes number two? I already read it today. Yeah, we're recording. Maybe on the day this comes out.
6
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:47.000
Maybe the day that it comes out, he's already shotgunned the thing and sent me screencaps of. Of pictures from the comic as he's been reading it.
7
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.000
Yes. Spoiler. If you've not read this, Grimbor makes an appearance in the book.
8
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:58.000
Grimbor, one of our favorite characters here on the funny boar forensics podcast. Grimbor. What's he doing? Is he holding.
9
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:29.000
He's holding chains. What else he's holding? It's the chance. Juliet is very upset. I don't know what's going on here in the house. The was instantly jealous. No, I thought we should add a new segment. So we've done putting posters in. In frames. Posters and frames done, yes. We've done posters and frames. We've done cards and sleeves. So I thought we should do comics in bags.
10
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.000
Comics in bags?
11
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:39.000
Yeah. Well, I mean, this is a show about comic collecting, fandom, and so what greater joy does anybody get than putting comics in bags?
12
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:50.000
Comics and bags, people. He's putting comics in bags as we do this is. He's going to. He's going to bag and board all the books that he bought this week.
13
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.000
Well, I had a bunch come today.
14
00:01:52.000 --> 00:02:09.000
He had a bunch. Yeah. He's got to take care of them after he's read them and put them in there. If I have to hear that all show, I'm gonna. I am. I am gonna just. I'm gonna click the button to stop.
15
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.000
I can't stop. I gotta fit the comics over here. Make sure.
16
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.000
Oh, my gosh, people.
17
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.000
That's the best noise, isn't it? Sealable bags are the best, aren't they?
18
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:32.000
I mean, I don't know. Some people enjoy that noise. They enjoy peeling the. The. The. The plastic off the. The thing, the film, whatever it is. I know. Like Anna and I, whenever we get patrol number two, I'm doing patrol Number two.
19
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.000
Oh, wow.
20
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:42.000
I know. We. We fight over who gets to peel the thing. That is pretty cool. I like it. I like it.
21
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:57.000
I like all of the. I didn't buy te the new t Titans book. Well, let me rephrase it. I buy the new Teen Titans book, but I bought Doom Patrol, and I bought Legion, and I guess I should have bought the Teen Titans book because all three books got a second. Second printing.
22
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.000
Oh, wow.
23
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:01.000
All the new books released in September for D.C. got a second printing.
24
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.000
That's pretty impressive.
25
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:16.000
Yeah, I think so. So either comic book stores need to buy more comics or. Or the books are all really good, or both.
26
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.000
People like those books, and I don't know, man.
27
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.000
Put them in bags, people.
28
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:31.000
If you like the sounds that Dan makes when he's doing the show. Don't. Don't even let us know. I don't want to know.
29
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:32.000
I don't let us know.
30
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:40.000
I don't want to know if you find this enjoyable, because it's driving me crazy, and this is me driving Dan crazy.
31
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:53.000
I've still got nine tickets to Grit City Comic Con to give away. That may change by the end of this week. But nine tickets. If you comment that you love putting bags in comics or comics and bags, not bags and comics. That would be backwards.
32
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.000
If you put comics into bags. Wait. Bags into comics.
33
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:06.000
If you put that you love putting comics into bags in the chat, then I will give you a ticket to Grid City comic con on November 7th.
34
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:09.000
But if you already have a ticket, don't comment because you can't get another.
35
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:14.000
Or just. Or just tell me. You can. You can still comment. Just. You can comment on a ticket, but.
36
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:22.000
Yeah, but, I mean, we don't want to be like, oh, hey, this person's collected, like, 100 tickets. I mean, we don't even have 100 tickets to give. We only have nine.
37
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:29.000
Oh, look how on point Batman of two worlds. We've got beefy Batman and regular Batman. Oh, who will win one cover?
38
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.000
What are they gonna do?
39
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:32.000
Who would win?
40
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.000
Who would win?
41
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:35.000
Beefy Batman.
42
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:36.000
Beefy Batman. Of course.
43
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.000
He's younger.
44
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:47.000
What. What are they. I mean, what would they. Are they gonna talk about fighting crime? Are they gonna eat a steak together? Are they gonna talk about social injustices and how to fix them?
45
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:51.000
I don't think Beefy Batman eats steak. I think he eats ground turkey and rice.
46
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:58.000
I. I think he's a very. He's. He's very

conscious of what he eats. I think he's. He's one of those people, um.
47
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.000
Much like myself, I think he can't afford steak.
48
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:19.000
Oh, that's true. That, I mean, but, but I mean, you know, he's, he's very conscious, conscientious too, but he's like maximizing the protein intake that he's getting. And he's like, okay, what's going to give me the best bang for my buck if I'm only getting, if I can only afford this type of thing? Turkey's a great thing.
49
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:26.000
He's doing what I'm going to do. I bought three pounds of ground turkey. I'm going to mix it with a bunch of rice and 10 eggs and put it all together and eat on it all week.
50
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:54.000
That's, you know, I, my neighbor, he cooked up a bunch of chicken and then I took said chicken that he cooked and that he brought over. And then I took that chicken and I boiled it down. I like threw it into the, into the pot and I, I cooked it off again, made a nice broth, peeled off all the, peeled it off all the bones and then I, I meal planned it out so that I had all that and then I took the broth. Oh, nice. What is that?
51
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:55.000
Altcover.
52
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:56.000
Oh, very cool.
53
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:01.000
Saturn Girl cover for. Well, she's not Saturn Girl yet. Yeah, Princess Ardine cover.
54
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:04.000
Princess Ardine. Very cool.
55
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:05.000
She's now a princess, apparently.
56
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:24.000
Ah, princess. Well, she might like the, the rice that I made with the broth that I had and then I took the broth and put rice in it and then I cooked that rice off and then I threw some veg in there and then had my, my protein and my rice and my vegetables and I'm ready to go.
57
00:06:24.000 --> 00:07:08.000
Well, you had that. I have in the crock pot one small brisket, a parsnip, carrots, celery, four yellow potatoes, beef bone broth, regular broth. Yeah. And it has been cooking in the crock pot all day. So when we're done, that's what you're going to go ahead and have that. We've got another Legion of Superheroes cover. This time we have one Tenzel Chem, sometimes known as Matter Eater Lad. Matter Eater something. As you can see, that's what he does. Joshua Williamson, by the way, is doing an amazing job with that character.
58
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.000
Yeah.
59
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:21.000
And they've even buffed the powers up like the whole eat anything. But then they're like, they're also like, they have heightened agility. All the people from the planet Bismol. Which makes sense because if you have to get to your food, then.
60
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:29.000
Yeah, well, I mean, if you got. If you got a stomach ache, diarrhea, indigestion, Pepto Bismol is what you need. And.
61
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:32.000
Yeah, and they said they have to kill them on site.
62
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.000
Oh, my gosh.
63
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:38.000
If they bite you. Yeah, yeah, you gotta.
64
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.000
That's why you need the Pepto Bismol.
65
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:47.000
I don't need Anne judging me and being mad at me because I bought every single Legion cover. But.
66
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:48.000
But if you.
67
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:49.000
If.
68
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:51.000
I mean, you know, if I did.
69
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:52.000
That one is really cool.
70
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:53.000
That is really cool.
71
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.000
Okay, if I did happen to buy
72
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:58.000
every cover, that is pretty cool.
73
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:02.000
Well, usually we give you an update on comic books from the past, but
74
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:05.000
today, Today is nothing but comic books from now.
75
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:18.000
Today you're getting, like, what came out in the last couple weeks, which is. Is different. The. And, you know, of course, down here on the tablet today, I can give you some updates on the. The Rays and the Guardians, if you'd like.
76
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:21.000
Oh. Oh, the Raising. The Guardians. What. What is going on?
77
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:25.000
Who's winning, Dan, at zero to zero in the first.
78
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.000
Zero to zero in the first. Who are we?
79
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:28.000
Who.
80
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:29.000
Who do we want?
81
00:08:29.000 --> 00:09:02.000
That's the question. Well, we want the Seattle Pilots to win, and they're up 2 to 0 against the Dodgers right now. Okay, so for those of you not aware, the Milwaukee brewers started out in Seattle, and if. For those of you that are unaware, no team that has started out in Seattle has ever won the World Series. So since the Mariners were abysmal and terrible, I believe the consensus is that we root for the Brewers. I mean, Pilots.
82
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:06.000
Pilots. Yeah. Yeah, we. We root for the Brewers. That's who we're going for.
83
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:10.000
Plus, everyone hates the Dodgers, so them.
84
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:21.000
You know, it's really sad. I mean, like, I, I. That's a good cover. If I, if, if my grandma was still alive, we would be a Dodger's house. But I'll go Brewers. I mean, I'll go Brewers because.
85
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.000
Well, that's just because of Shohei.
86
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:29.000
That's. That Shohei. But he's. I mean, he's. He's not as powerful as he used to be. He's not as good as he was.
87
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.000
He's not pitching, and he only hit 30 home runs this year.
88
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.000
Yeah, he's not. He's not doing what he used to do.
89
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:35.000
He's hurt.
90
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.000
He's hurt, and he's like, he needs to heal.
91
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.000
He struck out, like, 34 times in the last month or something like that.
92
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.000
He needs a rest, but it's a
93
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:44.000
bad time for a rest.
94
00:09:44.000 --> 00:10:03.000
Yeah, it's a bad time for a rest. But, you know, Brewers, I. I remember when I. Back in the early 2000s, when I lived in the. The Wisconsin. Oh, geez. When I lived in Wisconsin area. I hate that sound. When I lived in the Wisconsin area or Wisconsin.
95
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:10.000
This is ending soon, sadly. Yeah. GSA Jeff Lemire got bored
96
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:11.000
going to a Brewers game.
97
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:12.000
It's pretty cool.
98
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:13.000
Yeah.
99
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:27.000
Okay. I would go to a Brewers game. Oh, hey, this is perfect timing. Very likely in the next two weeks. Possibly. We just have to clear the schedule, make sure it's still good.
100
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:28.000
Yeah.
101
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:30.000
But we are very likely going to have a special guest next week.
102
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:34.000
Oh, yeah. Next week upon my return.
103
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.000
Yeah, yeah.
104
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:44.000
I'm going. Oh, yes. I have a package going to him. Jonah X is out. I got to get to the shop.
105
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:49.000
Somebody has not got. Yeah, you haven't gotten the first two Legion issues, which is going to.
106
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:54.000
I know, I know. I'm just. I. I know what I'm doing tomorrow,
107
00:10:54.000 --> 00:11:05.000
so for sure, I just tell everybody. The Legion book is so good. It's got me excited to pick up a comic book and peel it out of the box when they get sent to me and read it again and
108
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:16.000
read it and again. Now you're going to be peeling it out of your bags and boards and you're going to hear that sound.
109
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:21.000
I mean, look, what's more satisfactory? What's more satisfying, Right?
110
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:22.000
Yeah.
111
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:32.000
Hearing the maga. Right. Backtrack on James Talarico being in a mental facility or me pulling that thread.
112
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:41.000
Well, I mean, it's not as loud as it used to be since the. All those data centers went down, but, hey,
113
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:47.000
that's fair. What do we have here? Star Trek Halloween.
114
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:53.000
Oh, that's cool. We like that on the holodeck. Is it on the hol. Do they.
115
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.000
I don't know. I haven't read it yet.
116
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:56.000
I just got it, and then he
117
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:01.000
put it in a bag. Well, I'm going to read it later. I'm just taking care of things right now.
118
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:04.000
You had to seal it now.
119
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:07.000
That's what you do when you get comics. Just ask Brody.
120
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.000
It's true. It's true. It's what you do. Brody knows.
121
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:12.000
Yeah, Brody knows.
122
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:35.000
It's. It's funny. Like when I used to. When. When Paula had the shop, and I would go up there and they would be like, do you want a bag and board? I'm like, no, I'm just to destroy this thing. I'm going to go home and destroy it. And they would just cringe. Like, I would Just take the. Take whatever books like they. That I'd be buying. I just grabbed my stack and I was like, here's my money. Take my. Take my bills. What's. Oh, Green Lantern.
123
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.000
Absolute Green Lantern. So we have to have absolute. For everybody.
124
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:50.000
You got to. Yeah, I just grab my books and I would just be like, I'm just gonna. I. I'm gonna just grab them and I'm gonna read them all, and they're just gonna be in a jacked up pile.
125
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.000
I'm gonna unbag a book.
126
00:12:52.000 --> 00:13:03.000
Oh, he's gonna unbag a book. Oh, he's gonna unbag a book, folks. Oh, gosh, the crinkly sound. Like
127
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.000
absolute Batman number five. We're gonna talk about that in, like a couple minutes.
128
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:08.000
It's true. We are. We are.
129
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:11.000
I'm gonna unbag another book and you're gonna be sad.
130
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:37.000
What are you unbagging? He's. He's not going to show me. He's going to. I just. I take it. Take his time to unbag this. He's doing this on purpose, folks. He's doing it so slow. It's like when. When you're hungry and somebody's like, hey, do you want to have a piece of this KitKat bar? And they take it out really slow. Oh, yeah, yeah.
131
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:38.000
Be sad.
132
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.000
I am sad. It's a good book, though.
133
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:46.000
It's called the. Can you read it?
134
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:55.000
The most Keith Giffen book about Keith Giffen for Keith Giffen fans. Yes, I believe that.
135
00:13:55.000 --> 00:14:00.000
Should we open this one up?
136
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:04.000
Are you pulling it out of there? Hermetic seal?
137
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:05.000
Yeah.
138
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:11.000
Oh, it was sealed and then put in a bag and then sealed again.
139
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:14.000
So maybe we should read something out of here soon. We've read something out of here actually.
140
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:16.000
We have already, but. But we should be.
141
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.000
Definitely. We've read things out of here on the podcast, but we should.
142
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:26.000
It's time again to revisit something from the master himself, one of the masters.
143
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.000
There's the heckler and.
144
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:29.000
Oh, very cool.
145
00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:31.000
Ambush bug on the inside.
146
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:37.000
I mean, you've. You've sent me on a task. I might be doing something similar.
147
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.000
I don't know. You might be getting this book when you go pick up the other comic books.
148
00:14:40.000 -->
00:14:43.000
Yeah, maybe so. Maybe so.
149
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:45.000
The. Yeah, It's.
150
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:49.000
If they don't have it there, then I'm sure I'll find someplace that does.
151
00:14:49.000 --> 00:15:05.000
Yeah, we. We read this one. It has an introduction to Keith Giffen, and then right away on page nine is a story you'll remember reading that has Matter Eater Lad. In fact.
152
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:06.000
Oh, yeah.
153
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:09.000
Yes. The Legion of Substitute Heroes special.
154
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:10.000
So good.
155
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:51.000
Right right up front. Kind of fantastic. Dollar books in the back, but hard to find. I think they have the whole run of the heckler back here. Yeah, it's. Have some Justice League, some Ambush Bug. It's a lot of fun in here. Got a page on the return of the Legion of Super Pets here. Oh, yeah, yeah. Here you go. Look at this.
156
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:56.000
Oh, cute. Nice.
157
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:09.000
Anyway, yeah. If you are a Keith Giffen fan. Oh, look, there's Pulser Stargate from the Legion of Substitute Heroes on the. The COVID here. See? I don't know what Greg's looking at. He's lost.
158
00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:18.000
I'm. I was checking something out for my. But for. Based on the tasks you sent me on, I was looking at something.
159
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:29.000
Yeah, you'll have to all sorts of things here. This is fun. Anyway, I get lost in this for hours. So we're gonna put that back right there. I believe it.
160
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:30.000
The.
161
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:40.000
Yeah. And there's a. There's a lot of updates and of course we're going to be at Grit City Show Comic show, Comic Con, Comic show.
162
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:43.000
Come see the show. One day. One day only.
163
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:55.000
Oh, this is my. Trying to use my Batman one. It's making a mess. One day only on November 7th. You can come hang out with us, meet. Maybe meet James Taylor. He might be there.
164
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.000
He'll be around. He'll be doing things.
165
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:24.000
And of course, some of the other guests, like Scott Collins. I figured out last. Remember when I said I initially. Even though they're completely different, got Scott Kilbush and Scott Collins mixed up. Right, right. Well, it was because Scott Collins was drawing the Legion of Superheroes in the doomed new 52 series. And then Keith Giffen came back on the book with Scott Koblish inking him.
166
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:25.000
I see.
167
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:44.000
So that does make sense. And that book and the. One of the dooms of that book is it had 9,000 different artists. So you can see where I'd get a little bit confused. But I will definitely be bringing a Legion book for want Mr. Collins to sign packet. And so I'm super excited about that
168
00:17:44.000 --> 00:18:04.000
and come and see all the folks that are there. There's gonna be a lot of cool, cool people, cool stuff to dig in. Oh, my goodness. It's all show, folks. All show the demon. I don't even know. I don't even know.
169
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:06.000
You have to rhyme now.
170
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:17.000
I don't want to rhyme. I don't have the time. I'm sorry, Dan, but I use some thyme when I season my food. I'm not in the mood. I don't mean to be.
171
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:22.000
So why didn't you just say time? Because it would mean time and time, it would be okay. Time.
172
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:33.000
Well, that's true. I don't know what to do when I think about this, I only think of you. I know that sounds so crazy. Boo hoo.
173
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:36.000
When you're seasoning a roast, it's time and time again.
174
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:47.000
It is time and time again, my friend. That's true. Each and every one till the end. Oh, no. It's like a text that you don't remember to hit send and it just sits there.
175
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:50.000
Oh, man. I'm running out of books to put in bags.
176
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:57.000
He's running out of books to put into bags. I'm so excited at that point. We can cover the absolute Batman number
177
00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:01.000
five that we've got. Oh, look, another Legion cover. It.
178
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:08.000
Another Legion cover, he says. Is it the same? It's the same. How many Legion covers did they do?
179
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:09.000
5.
180
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:12.000
Is it enough for you?
181
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:14.000
Probably. 2 would have been enough for me.
182
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:23.000
2 would have been enough for him. But yet he has five. He bought them on a whim. All right.
183
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:24.000
Ridiculous.
184
00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:29.000
Now he says with a grin.
185
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:31.000
Why did I get the demon out?
186
00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:38.000
He got the demon out and now he's gonna pout because I can't let this out.
187
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:39.000
This is my fault.
188
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:46.000
It's his fault. It's true. It's true. He doesn't even know what he's gonna do.
189
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:50.000
All right, now I've got all these stupid plastic things floating around my desk.
190
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:58.000
Dan, have you ever seen the show? Brilliant. No, you should watch it. And then. Really?
191
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:04.000
Why would I watch a show about me?
192
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:16.000
Is it's, it actually. It's really good. It, I mean, and you would actually like it. But it's. It's like if House had face buying this.
193
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:19.000
I, I. Why would I watch a show about
194
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.000
me and was gay.
195
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:24.000
Now you're just making up.
196
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:27.000
I'm not.
197
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:28.000
So the person is face blind.
198
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:39.000
He's face blind. Yes. And he's gay and he's
very, like, straight. Presenting 1, 2.
199
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:41.000
So why would I watch a show about me? This is.
200
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:53.000
Watch the show about you and what is it? Zachary Quinto is the. The. It plays. Plays Dr. Wolf. So why would you not want to watch that?
201
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:55.000
Sylar slash Spock.
202
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:57.000
Yeah, why would you not want to watch that?
203
00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:59.000
And I probably should watch it.
204
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:08.000
But you should. It's really good. And then episode four, I think four or five in season two. You're gonna love it. That's all I have to say.
205
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:12.000
Well, I was watching another Spanish soap opera.
206
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:13.000
Oh, they, they get in.
207
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:14.000
They.
208
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:22.000
They do like one of the episodes, I think it might be four is all. Most of it's in Spanish. It's great. And they bring in, like, the new nurse and.
209
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:24.000
Well, I'm not watching in Spanish. I'm watching it.
210
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:37.000
Oh, no, it's great because they do. They do. It's a bilingual episode and it is super good. And it's back and forth. It's so good. They, they do a lot of translation and stuff like that. And you will love the nurse as well.
211
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:41.000
Okay, well, I just finished watching Matlock and the Surgeon.
212
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:43.000
It's great. It's Gay's Anatomy.
213
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:46.000
He was like, I don't care about your Matlock.
214
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.000
I don't care. Wait, the new Matlock?
215
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:49.000
The new Matlock?
216
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:53.000
Yeah. Well, both Matlocks got an ass like a brick.
217
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:54.000
No.
218
00:21:53.000 --> 00:22:00.000
Yes. Have you seen Bobo when she was younger? Boy.
219
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:04.000
All right, well, we're moving on to.
220
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:07.000
You're like that. That's a lot to unpack.
221
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:13.000
There's a lot going on, I think. I still haven't watched Spider man yet.
222
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:16.000
You haven't watched the new Spider man or the correct.
223
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:17.000
The new one?
224
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:19.000
Which one? There's like four or five.
225
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:21.000
I don't know, Another home, whatever they're called.
226
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:28.000
Spider Man. Spider. Spider man can't find. Spider man can't find. Use ways to get home.
227
00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:33.000
Can't use waste to get Spider Man's way away from home.
228
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:36.000
Spider Man's in a way mode and he can't get home.
229
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:39.000
Oh, yeah. It's a good one. I like that one because I.
230
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:42.000
There's also Spider man noir, so.
231
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:48.000
No. Oh, okay. That's right. No, I have not watched Spider man noir yet. That comes highly recommended from Jiu Jitsu lawyer Paul, though.
232
00:22:48.000 --> 00:23:03.000
I. I imagine it would. It looks really good. And I. There's. I wish that they had made a second episode or second. Second season if they could, but apparently,
233
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:07.000
yeah, I mean, I'm all done with Lanterns, as I said last week, and I'm waiting for you to watch it.
234
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:15.000
I, you know, I. Every time I think I have time to watch it or whatever, it doesn't happen.
235
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:30.000
So I had too busy doing Mover and Shaker things for Overcast Comics. Yes, True things happen. True publishing happen.
236
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:31.000
Yes, yes.
237
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:37.000
Are there any announcements that we can share on the show? Starlight's coming soon, right?
238
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:40.000
Starlight is coming soon. We have.
239
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:46.000
You've got in there and you've shaken up those Publishers. And you've gotten that thing to go to print?
240
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:47.000
Yes, we're working on that.
241
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:49.000
You laid the hammer down.
242
00:23:49.000 --> 00:24:05.000
Send signed with a printer and distributor for Said Starlight and other things. So the same way that distributes your comic books that you get right now is going to be carrying ours.
243
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:12.000
Wait, so future comic books from Overcast are going to be in, like, the magazine for, like, Lunar?
244
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:14.000
Yes, yes, they will be.
245
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:16.000
Is that real?
246
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:17.000
That is real.
247
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:23.000
You mean I'll be able to just get them? I can either get them like on Kickstarter when they come out or.
248
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:24.000
Yeah, or you can go to your
249
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:27.000
comic shop and Just go to my comic shop and get it once they're ready.
250
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:35.000
You can get most everything from the Star from the Overcast comic catalog once we start putting things through. Yes.
251
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:45.000
What? Oh, wow. So. So, like, if you do a Kickstarter book, I could back it on Kickstarter and help everything out and get the book going, get all the cool extra things like signatures and stuff like that.
252
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:46.000
Yeah.
253
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:51.000
But then later on, I could buy the book at a comic shop.
254
00:24:51.000 --> 00:25:13.000
You could. You could put an order in at the comic shop and go and pick it up, and then you would get that comic book and also get that sales number up for us. But you could also, at the same time, you could say, hey, friend over here that might have never heard of this comic book. Let me give this to you because I think you might enjoy it.
255
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:35.000
So I could wait for the Revenge of the
Sith and Alex Rain story to come out. Oh, we'll get sued for that. Hang on. Let's try that again. I could wait for. I don't have anything clever now. Like, Alex Rain brings the pain to come out. There we go.
256
00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:51.000
Let me tell you something, Ric Flair. Alex Reign is bringing the pain. My father was a plot. No. Okay,
257
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:52.000
what do we.
258
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:54.000
Are you wearing crocodile shoes?
259
00:25:54.000 --> 00:26:01.000
I'm always wearing crocodile shoes. I hate crocodiles. I would kill them a hundred times and make them into shoes. What do you think?
260
00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:14.000
You're the longest ride, the oldest ride and the longest line over there, Ric Flair, let me tell you,
261
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:15.000
I'm the
262
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:19.000
people's choice over here. I'm the voice of the nation. I want to tell you one thing.
263
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:27.000
Did you just go from Dusty Rhodes to Superstar Billy Graham there like you transitioned. Are you too sweet to be sour now?
264
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:33.000
Like, I'm too sweet to be sour. But I'm gonna tell you one thing.
265
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:36.000
You're mixing your wrestlers like this is
266
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:38.000
tune in on channel five at nine o' clock at night.
267
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:41.000
Channel five on a.
268
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:42.000
On a Saturday night.
269
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:43.000
Come on. Channel 11.
270
00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:55.000
Channel 11 on a Saturday or Sunday morning, because Sunday comes faster than you think.
271
00:26:55.000 --> 00:27:06.000
Will be followed by the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling at midnight and the Powerful Women of wrestling at 12:30. That's right. KSTW. Channel 11.
272
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:09.000
Channel 11.
273
00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:13.000
All right. Well, absolute Batman, yo.
274
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:14.000
Hey, that was.
275
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:16.000
That's what we call a hard transition.
276
00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:19.000
Bam. Bam.
277
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:23.000
We've got a. We left off with the best comic we've read in months.
278
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:25.000
Yes.
279
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:47.000
And issue four. Issue four. Tying all of that kid history together and giving us to the place. And we really want to know why Batman took the money. Well, we know why he took the money, but we don't know the repercussions of taking the money. And we're about to find out what happens when you take a million dollars and do things with it?
280
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:51.000
If I had a million dollars.
281
00:27:51.000 --> 00:28:09.000
You would. If you had a billion dollars, you would spend more money than you did during the presidential election because you want to manipulate the outcome so Republicans win so you can keep X going, so you can continue to manipulate the public and think that you're a sane person.
282
00:28:09.000 -->
00:28:12.000
It's not called X anymore.
283
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:13.000
What is it called?
284
00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:15.000
I don't know. I think they changed the name again.
285
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.000
It's called Eczema because you just want to get it off of you.
286
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:25.000
Oh, gosh. Yeah, you want to put some lotion on it or you get the hose again.
287
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:27.000
It is Horror Movie month, folks.
288
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:30.000
It is Horror Movie Month.
289
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:35.000
I want to watch Ice Cream Man. No, no, don't watch it.
290
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:40.000
Don't watch the new Ice Cream Man. That's garbage. Watch the old one with.
291
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:42.000
Is the new one AI sloth?
292
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:43.000
Yeah, the new one is AI slob.
293
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:46.000
That's like 50 AI.
294
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:47.000
Don't watch that.
295
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:47.000
Go.
296
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:49.000
Actually, you have to go watch something else.
297
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:51.000
That's like.
298
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:52.000
I, I.
299
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.000
That's why I need the information. I didn't know I was, like, looking for new horror movies.
300
00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:00.000
I. It's a movie that's, like, off my. Whatever.
301
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:02.000
Now, what about the Carrie series?
302
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:11.000
How's that carry series? So we're actually going to watch that later because Matthew Lillard is in it, so. And.
303
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:13.000
And you like him because.
304
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:24.000
Because he's, like, awesome and very nice. And Scream and. Well, yeah, and Hackers and Scooby Doo. He's the best.
305
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:26.000
Shaggy, let's forget Scooby Doo.
306
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:29.000
What are you talking about?
307
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:34.000
Exactly. What am I talking about? Anyway, let's focus on Scream and other great things he was in Screaming.
308
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:43.000
Other great things that he's in. I mean, he's been in it. Oh, well, I mean, like, five nights at Freddy's. Fnaf.
309
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:45.000
That's fair. Yeah. So he's in carry, huh?
310
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:47.000
Yeah, he's in carry.
311
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:48.000
I didn't know that.
312
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:51.000
Yeah. Yeah. So check it out. Give it a watch.
313
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:54.000
Still can't believe you haven't seen what's on the back of here, too.
314
00:29:54.000 --> 00:30:00.000
I know, I know. I. I haven't seen it. I haven't read it.
315
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:01.000
I don't.
316
00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:03.000
I had to go read it.
317
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:04.000
I'm sure I can find it.
318
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:05.000
See it.
319
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:08.000
No, it's on. Watch it. It's on. Matt. Max. It's on. Whatever.
320
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:10.000
Oh, it's on. It's
on. Okay.
321
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:20.000
It's one on one of the three remaining television properties at Para. Whatever. Oh, Mount Max.
322
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:30.000
Max mounting. Oh, Max mounting. Wait, is that. Is that. What the. Wait. The little dog from the Grinch?
323
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:34.000
Only if he's visiting, like, lady and the Tramp or something.
324
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:39.000
Wow, that's a. Where's the Tramp, then?
325
00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:41.000
You know those dogs.
326
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:43.000
That's a weird. This is.
327
00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:45.000
This got weird.
328
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:51.000
You started it, and I just asked a question. You said a thing. I asked a question. This is what happens, people.
329
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:54.000
Now you know how there was 101 Dalmatians.
330
00:30:54.000 --> 00:31:08.000
Holy crap. That makes a lot of sense. I mean, honestly, though, that does. That does beg the question, because, like, I've seen dogs get pregnant, and I didn't know they could have that many dogs, that many puppies, but then again, I guess they could.
331
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:25.000
Oh, settle a debate for me, by the way. Okay, it was a minor debate, but I. I articulated that. Jiu Jitsu. Lawyer Paul likes one Halloween movie, and he insists that he does not because he thought I was referring to Jack. O lanterns.
332
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:27.000
Okay.
333
00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:34.000
Or not Jack. He thought I was referring to Jack Skellington. Okay, okay. But I was not referring to the Nightmare Before Christmas.
334
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:35.000
Okay.
335
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:36.000
I was actually referring to Hocus Pocus.
336
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:37.000
Oh, yes.
337
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:39.000
Which is indeed a Halloween movie, is it not?
338
00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:40.000
Yes, definitely.
339
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:48.000
Okay, so, jujitsu Lawyer Paul, just for the record, on the podcast, you are incorrect. You do like one Halloween movie. Amok.
340
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:49.000
Amok.
341
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:49.000
Amok. Amok.
342
00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:54.000
Oh, yeah, definitely as flat.
343
00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:56.000
As flat as you could possibly say that.
344
00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:58.000
Sisters.
345
00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:01.000
Oh, my gosh, that's a great Halloween movie.
346
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:03.000
I cast a spell on you.
347
00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:04.000
Ah.
348
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:11.000
Anyway, I've watched that movie so many times this week because we played at the shop every day 10 times.
349
00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:13.000
So you're probably tired of it at this point.
350
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:26.000
No, actually, I don't think I ever get tired of it. It's one of those movies you can watch a ton of times. It's. No, it's. The second one. I can watch that one probably once a year and be okay with it. It's good. It's good.
351
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:27.000
But
the original is.
352
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:35.000
The original one is just so good. I mean, I might be able to watch the second one a couple times in the year.
353
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:39.000
It's. It's like Sister Act. Like Sister Act. The first one.
354
00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:40.000
The first one, Banger.
355
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:44.000
You. I mean, but you can watch the other one because Lauryn Hill's in it. Yeah.
356
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:59.000
And. And. And it's great. It. It's. It. It. It is. It is great. But at the same point, it's like you, you know, when you watch Sister Act 1, you're like, oh, it's great. It's like Blues Brothers. You watch Blues Brothers and then you watch.
357
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:10.000
No, no, it's not like that at all. It's like Blues Brothers. And then we pretend like the other one does not exist. We don't do that with Sister Act 2.
358
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:39.000
That's true. That's true. We. We go, oh, you know, it's time for a yearly watch. Yeah. Because I, I don't. I, I have. I've. I. I can count the number of times on my hand, on one hand in which I've watched the other movie. And my dad actually was around when they filmed the. The other movie, like, was. And met Dan Aykroyd and was like, I'm gonna watch that. And then he watched it and he was like, I. I'm glad I met him. Yeah.
359
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:46.000
I mean, can we. Yeah. I. Yeah. The Belushis are not the same.
360
00:33:46.000 --> 00:34:00.000
They are not the same. I mean, I will give. I will give the. The younger Belushi. Is he younger? I think he's younger. I. I will give the Belushi brother.
361
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:01.000
He.
362
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:05.000
He did all right in. In. Was it Red Heat?
363
00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:08.000
Yeah. He needs to do his own things and not do what John Bl. He does.
364
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:13.000
Yeah. He doesn't need to fill in for his brother. He needs to just keep doing his own things.
365
00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:16.000
And, I mean, there's just a lot of cocaine involved in that, and it's.
366
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:20.000
Yeah. You gotta. Gotta be on a different level.
367
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:22.000
Well, Batman.
368
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:26.000
Batman. So speaking of a different level.
369
00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:27.000
Different Batman.
370
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:28.000
Different level.
371
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:34.000
Yeah. Batman's getting shots. He's getting his shots, actually.
372
00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:35.000
Yeah. Well, I just.
373
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:51.000
Bruce Wayne. We start off with Bruce Wayne back in the past getting shots after he came out of the bat thing at the zoo and we meet Leslie Tompkins for the first time. Fantastic and then we flip to sadness. Yeah.
374
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:54.000
Oh, yeah. I mean, by the way, we do
375
00:34:54.000 --> 00:35:04.000
have after the fill in artist for one issue, which was still fantastic. To call it fill in at that point is when you have that high quality art. You don't want to even call that fill in.
376
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:11.000
But it's just you had. You needed to make a change for that book. You really did. You needed a different feel and.
377
00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:27.000
Yeah. But we're back to Nick Dragoda's art and Snyder And Nick Dragoda on this book. Frank Martin on colors, Clayton Cowles on letters, and Sabrina Fudge and Katie Kubert on editing. On editing. On editing.
378
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:28.000
On editing.
379
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:31.000
You ever want me to say you're on editing when you edit a book?
380
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:34.000
You know, I mean, sure.
381
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:46.000
And we are into The Zoo Part 5. We're wrapping up. We're two more issues. It's the last two issues of the first story arc here in Absolute Batman.
382
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:48.000
Oh, absolutely. Great.
383
00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:53.000
And we get back to the Nick Degreta here because we get to the crazy paneling.
384
00:35:53.000 --> 00:36:14.000
Oh, right now it is off the wall, but it. But it makes sense. That's the. That's the. The best part, though. It might be crazy. It might be tight and it might be. The page is full of stuff, but it catches the eye and it brings you through all of the stuff. It really draws you.
385
00:36:14.000 --> 00:37:04.000
Yeah. I think I already showed it, by the way. But I'm gonna pull this other book back out too. Just for funsies. Just to make some noise. We'll talk about Batman for a minute. I just want to pull the other book out on paneling. Have it here. He's doing people the. Yeah. So Batman's writing in on his cycle and the crazy party animal people are all out there ready to kill him and they're unhappy. We get a scene where Commissioner Gordon and Martha Wayne are ready to go back out and face the public and just moving the story along. We get a giant advertisement for dc, all in, which I'm just going to show you because the art looks really cool.
386
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:06.000
Fair. Yeah.
387
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:10.000
It's a good art. Very different than this book.
388
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:14.000
Yes.
389
00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:40.000
And then we're back at the funeral. And I think that the saddest part of this is Bruce. It's like they. Scott Snyder is doing such a phenomenal job, like tying these points together. And again, it just could be my fault, right. In the past reading his stuff, it could be that I was reading mostly crossovers. I wasn't reading the mainline Batman stuff a lot of the time. I did read a lot of the Batman Stuff, though.
390
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:41.000
Yeah.
391
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:56.000
Like through. Through new 52. And then I gave up. It's so good. Like, I. Maybe I just wasn't paying close enough attention before. I love how he is taking these threads and then wrapping them together.
392
00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:57.000
Right.
393
00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:59.000
And
here is the perfect example. Right. We. He's at the funeral with his dad. We've already seen him at the trial cussing out Joe, chill. We have seen Gordon's, like, flip relationship with his mom. Right. They're working together on running the city. We go back to, you know, Gordon holding his hand coming out of the zoo. You know, the whole differences in the origin, slightly different. And then we get here to the funeral and we wrap the zoo. And we're gonna see a couple more of those Bat House panels in this, but they're gonna start to go away because we're close. Commissioner Gordon wants to talk to him. He's like, well, they're. Gonna. They're gonna get rid of the zoo. And Bruce is like, well, what are they going to put there? And he's like, yeah, I don't know. I don't think that Bruce Wayne, little Bruce Wayne, wanted the zoo to close. He was so excited. I mean, it's the, you know, the death of the zoo is like the death of his dad. It's like getting gut punched at the funeral.
394
00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:24.000
Yeah. It's kind of. I. I would say it's kind of like taking the thing that even though it holds a bad memory, it's a memory nonetheless. So you could go back and visit that place. It's facing that. That moment and, and having that connection, and it's kind of bittersweet hearing this news.
395
00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:41.000
Yeah. And I mean, I get if a mass shooting happens somewhere, you might want to memorialize that place or close it or do something. Yeah, I get that. But, yeah, it's the. It's. It's sad. This is really sad.
396
00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:42.000
This book so far.
397
00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:51.000
This book. Other book, Chef's Kiss, but also really good storytelling. This is also really good storytelling. But so far I'm sad. Sad.
398
00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:52.000
Yeah.
399
00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:53.000
But sometimes you can't always be happy.
400
00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:59.000
That's true. You can't. You don't always get what you want, but you always get what you need.
401
00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:47.000
Is it okay if I have a minor criticism and then you can wrap this back up for me? Do it and tell me why I'm wrong. I'm starting. I'm. I'm starting to feel like on the next page, like maybe if he was the narrator the whole time. Well, he kind of. I think that Alfred. Yeah, well, he is the narrator the whole time. Right. Kind of said. I almost said, he is the narrator the whole time. He's the narrator through the. He revs. He's so, you know, maybe it's not a criticism at all. I don't know. I feel like. I'm starting to feel like as Alfred sort of watches the scene here, as the party animals and Roman Siennis come out of their helicopter and they land it and they're getting ready just to, you know, up the city. Right. That's their whole goal here.
402
00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:48.000
Yeah.
403
00:40:48.000 --> 00:40:54.000
I'm starting to feel like Alfred is not a important character.
404
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:57.000
He's an active observer.
405
00:40:57.000 --> 00:40:59.000
Okay. Is that so?
406
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:01.000
He's kind of like, tell me how
407
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:05.000
this fits, because I. I'm starting to hate Alfred a lot in this book.
408
00:41:05.000 --> 00:42:39.000
He's somebody who's there. He's. He's watching everything unfold. He's trying to help, but he is limited in his abilities due to his position that we're finding out what that is. Right. So his. He's. He's very capable, but he's also very held back by the ties that bind him to what his job is. His job is to be there to neutralize one person and anything that if need be, and if anything gets in that way, in the. In the way of that. That task, then he may have to do that as well. So. But he's trying to minimize that because he sees the good that those other people don't see. Okay, those actions, but. But him narrating and seeing things. And. And it is frustrating because it's like, dude, you have this. The skills and ability to be so much more than this. And. And you can help. But then again, on the other aspect of it, Bruce, Batman doesn't want the. The. The insights or the. The help. The knowledge that he has at the moment, right? So he's. He's sitting there looking at what Alfred says, and he's like, I don't need you, old man. I've got. I've got all this under control. I've got it. I got it.
409
00:42:39.000 --> 00:43:17.000
Now we're starting to get to the thread. Thank you for helping me connect that. Because I was having a hard time, right? I'm thinking, like, how they're weaving in these other characters, right, from the general Batman universe, right? Like, I love what they've done with the best friends and the denizens of Gotham, right? Like how. How all of his friends are actually characters in the other universe, but they're weaving them in here. Love what they're doing. With Selina so far. I like what they're doing with his mom. I like what they're doing with Commissioner slash Mayor Gordon. Alfred almost seems like we have to have an Alfred.
410
00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:19.000
Yeah.
411
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:21.000
And so we have an Alfred.
412
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:23.000
Well, I mean, like, this could have
413
00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:25.000
been any generic spy guy.
414
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:35.000
Think about this, though. I mean, in. In the Batman, in. In the known Batman universe that you're used to, what purpose does Alfred serve?
415
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:44.000
He serves to serve the Wave fam. Wayne family. But they have rewritten the Alfred thing to where he was, like, an MI6 agent and all that in the past. And so disregard.
416
00:43:44.000 --> 00:44:42.000
Well, I mean, you take that and you put that in there as well. I can't say disregard it, but. But he serves the Wayne family. He helps out Batman, but he's in the background doing things. But Even with the MI6 background, he has that background and knowledge and skill and ability, and he helps usher in these
ideas and ways of doing things. Now, this Alfred, he's in the background. He's trying to help, but he's being pushed back on by a kind of upset youth who doesn't want to listen. A little rebellious, little rambunctious who's utilizing and leveraging his friend's knowledge base at this point, and. And the skills and abilities that they have to help him become the thing that he thinks the city needs.
417
00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:50.000
Okay, so you're selling me well on this. But then we get to a really important page in the entire, like, run of the five pages.
418
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:51.000
Yeah.
419
00:44:50.000 --> 00:46:32.000
And we go from panel to panel. One panel is the current, right? So Batman shows up to fight Roman. And Roman's like, so it's all set. 200 million, anonymous to anonymous. The code of the account was sent this morning. And Bruce is like, I know. I already used it on something. And Roman's like, ha. Amazing. Look at you. And then we get to the panel. They're stood the funeral. And there's a weight. And you hear, bruce, what are you. And he goes and grabs Gordon. And then we flip back, and the money's there again. And Roman's pushing him. He's like, on what? What'd you spend it on? Cars, planes, Bat computers, you know, making fun of him. How much did you use? I have to know. And he said, all of it. And then Gordon, in the past, panel says, bruce, what is it? And Bruce says, I don't want them to knock down the zoo or turn it into something practical. I want something there that makes everyone look like you said something that shines. And we see the money, and we go Back to the present time. And Batman clicks something and he says, want to see how I spent it? And he lights it all on fire and a giant bat flare. And so he didn't take the money. He's good. But he took it from the bad guys. So he, but he didn't spend it. I, I'm okay.
420
00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:34.000
He set it on fire.
421
00:46:34.000 --> 00:47:14.000
Yeah, I, I, I, I get it. Right? Like he's, you know. And they say he's like, he pulled the Joker. Yeah, that's one big ugly bat. But then they get reports of, of the Gotham Zoo Memorial Light. So that's what he's doing. So he integrates back again. Snyder again, amazing in this he says, witnesses claim a massive bat made of money. And then Roman yells, party animals. The deal is off. And so then they, then we start a big fight scene where they all attack Batman. So. And then we get a lot of blood and a lot of stabby. Stabby.
422
00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:15.000
Yeah.
423
00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:18.000
And I don't want to minimize the art here. It's really good.
424
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:19.000
Oh no, it's really good.
425
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:21.000
And, and we are onto a fight scene.
426
00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:36.000
I will say this, like, honestly, when, and not to go back to and, and not to make you feel bad, but like during the unnecessary debates, there was this kid in the audience said
427
00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:42.000
just one necessary debate hosted by Mike Tanner.
428
00:47:42.000 --> 00:48:34.000
Yes. Who? Mike Tanner. The Tanner who does what? Who does who. Who is the co. Author of Junior Braves of the Apocalypse and Absolute Zeros and with me and, and host Orcs in Space. Works in Space. And he writes Orcs in Space. And he's like, you know, co author of Horses Base. Yes, yes, yes. But yes. So while we're there, there was this young man who just like wouldn't stop. Like he, like this scene, like, or not this scene, but like as we geared up towards the end of the thing, it was like he just kept grabbing what were imaginary. The imaginary cowl. Like the cowling, you know, like. And he's flipping around and like, yeah, just like. And like I was like, we're getting there, but you have to go on a date first. You have to have dinner before you get to that point.
429
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:38.000
Before you get the, you gotta have dinner before you get the cow.
430
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:40.000
Before you get the cow.
431
00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:43.000
You know, Gotta buy me dinner before you get the cow.
432
00:48:43.000 --> 00:49:07.000
Yeah, you know. Ah, so good. But yes, he is, I mean it's a, it's a lot of hack and slash going on. Bruce is. Or Batman is definitely not. He's, he, he's, he's, he's hurting. Maiming people he's using the. The suit. To all of its extents, it is. It is good.
433
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:28.000
But then he realizes something and says to Roman, you don't care how many people die? And Roman's like, nope. And he starts shooting his own people to try to get Batman to protect them. So, Beefy Batman can be trapped by some nets. These must be some awesome nets. That's all I got to say.
434
00:49:28.000 --> 00:49:31.000
They must be.
435
00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:43.000
And he grabs Roman's jacket, and we get the tie back to the jiu jitsu thing, and he. Roman grabs his arm and breaks it. Snap. We get a crack.
436
00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:45.000
Arg.
437
00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:49.000
If we were doing a Legion comic, we'd have to take a drink there, right? Oh, yeah, yeah.
438
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:51.000
I mean, you know, it's.
439
00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:59.000
You've got a drink. I don't. So tonight. So I was waiting to have my drinks with my. Wonderful.
440
00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:00.000
With your meal.
441
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:58.000
Yes. Beef later. But then they all start going after Batman because he's in there. And they all start stabby stabbing, and they light him on fire. They steal his big ax thing, hit him with it. Badass. Throw him off a roof, and he uses his super cool cape to float down. And. Yeah. And then we get something I'm sure won't ever come up later as Barbara Gordon finds him. And Officer Barbara Gordon. Right. And she lets him go. But she has the cow. She has the cow if she wants it. So there we go. And she doesn't see him. I don't think. She doesn't get a look on his face. Right. He covers up with his arms.
Yeah.
442
00:50:58.000 --> 00:51:00.000
After she hits him with this. With her car.
443
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:06.000
Yeah. I have that problem, too. Like when I put my arm next to my head. You can't see it because my biceps are so big.
444
00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:09.000
Biceps are so big. Yeah. You can hide behind your own video.
445
00:51:09.000 --> 00:51:10.000
You can see it.
446
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:11.000
That.
447
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:15.000
I can hide behind my biceps, too, Greg, Can't I?
448
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:18.000
Yeah. I mean, I had to put my elbow in front of my face to.
449
00:51:18.000 --> 00:51:19.000
You can see my glasses.
450
00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:20.000
Yeah.
451
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:28.000
Okay. Yeah. At yoga, they make me do this move. And you're supposed to be able to, like, touch your palms.
452
00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:30.000
Oh, you can't do that.
453
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:32.000
How? How.
454
00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:35.000
Yeah, no, you can't do that. It's physically impossible.
455
00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:36.000
It hurt.
456
00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:36.000
Hurts.
457
00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:37.000
Get.
458
00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:39.000
Get tinier, Dan. Get tinier.
459
00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:40.000
Get tinier.
460
00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:41.000
Get sinewy.
461
00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:42.000
Yeah.
462
00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:44.000
I need to get less Grimbor.
463
00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:48.000
I have to get my Lululemon pants on and stuff.
464
00:51:48.000 --> 00:51:50.000
Get less Grimoire.
465
00:51:50.000 --> 00:52:01.000
Get less. Be less Grimbore. Yeah. I deliberately now, at yoga, position myself next to the bigger guys. Well, yeah. So I can see what they can't do as well.
466
00:52:01.000 --> 00:52:02.000
Oh, that's nice.
467
00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:06.000
Yeah, it makes me feel better. Yeah.
468
00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:07.000
Feel safer?
469
00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:27.000
Uh, no, but it is. It's kind of frustrating to see like I'm doing. So you gotta think about it, like when I do the hot yoga, kind of like Batman here. Yeah. Doing all. I don't have any ACL in my knee and I'm. We're doing like all standing poses for like the first 35, 40 minutes.
470
00:52:27.000 --> 00:52:28.000
Right.
471
00:52:28.000 --> 00:53:01.000
Like balancing on a leg and stuff. Well, I'm balancing 200 pounds on a leg. I look over and this like 108 pound woman is like stretching her leg out all the way and pulling it out and balancing £108 on one leg. And I'm like, you know, I have to do a lot of work to stay up here. Like, just staying up here is a lot of work. There's a lot to carry. Yeah. It's a little bit different now. I will say there is somebody who has trained at jujitsu lawyer Paul's gym.
472
00:53:01.000 --> 00:53:02.000
Yeah.
473
00:53:02.000 --> 00:53:04.000
His name is the vegan legend.
474
00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:06.000
Oh, the vegan legend.
475
00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:15.000
Oh, yes. In fact, I just saw a post on Instagram where his new baby is strapped to his chest and he's doing pull ups.
476
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:22.000
Oh my gosh, that's. And he's doing the whole thing and he's like getting it up.
477
00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:26.000
Oh, yeah, he's doing like pull up. He's just doing pull ups with the baby like there. Yeah.
478
00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:37.000
Like so just, just thanks a lot for making everyone else feel inferior. Vegan legend. Yeah, well, Andy's a vegan and he's a vegan people.
479
00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:40.000
So he would just say, I'm whining right now.
480
00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:42.000
He's plant power.
481
00:53:42.000 --> 00:53:48.000
He would just say train more and quit whining. So I will do that. But yeah, I mean, it's just.
482
00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:52.000
I'm just trying to get. I'm just trying to get closer to the blue zone, Dan.
483
00:53:52.000 --> 00:54:03.000
Just trying to get place you could. But where we don't want, I think is train like Batman. Because Batman trains by like stumbling into things, getting shot, stabbed, and then going into the sewer.
484
00:54:03.000 --> 00:54:07.000
Yeah, well, I mean, I live in the sewer, so like a turtle.
485
00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:10.000
Yeah, well, I live in my basement, so that's pretty close to the sword.
486
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:19.000
And you're a turtle too. Which turtle are you? Well, you're Michelangelo.
487
00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:31.000
I was not going to say that. You're Michelangelo. That leaves one of the other ones for me. I'm probably Raphael.
488
00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:36.000
I knew it. I knew it. I was gonna say you're Raphael. You're Raphael.
489
00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:40.000
Yeah. Yeah, I, I think that's pretty standard.
490
00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:43.000
Nobody wants, I mean, nobody wants to be Leonardo.
491
00:54:43.000 --> 00:54:46.000
And, and what's wrong with being Leonardo?
492
00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:48.000
What, you want to be Leonardo?
493
00:54:48.000 --> 00:54:49.000
No, what's wrong with being him?
494
00:54:49.000 --> 00:55:05.000
Nothing's wrong with him. It's just like. I mean, it's just a lot of, like, you know, a lot of weight. But then, you know, Donatello, I mean, it's just like lots of pack.
495
00:55:05.000 --> 00:55:38.000
Well, anyway, Roman is very happy that he's taking over the city. And he's like, hey, Gotham. And he tells this terrible story about shooting pigs in the head with, with these guns and, and on a farm and like hitting their nerve center. And I guess what he's trying to making them really happy. And I think what he's trying to say is, Gotham, we're going to destroy you. Just lay back and accept it. Is that, is that fair? That's what's going on.
496
00:55:38.000 --> 00:55:39.000
Yeah.
497
00:55:39.000 --> 00:56:27.000
Okay. And then we get Batman in the Bat cave, but I don't know where the Batcave is. I guess it's in the Shores. It's in the Shores, but we find the giant Batmobile. The little Batmobile. We don't have the motorcycle
because he just used it. Yeah, we've got Batman and he. I think he's not very good at first aid because he's sewing himself up over here, but he has like a thousand band aids on. Yeah, he definitely needs a better first aid kit if he's going to keep doing this. I mean, I don't want to be judgmental on the 2,200 million. And I'm glad he didn't spend it and he lit on fire, but I think he should have spent like a thousand dollars on like some medical supplies and then burnt up the thing that could.
498
00:56:27.000 --> 00:56:41.000
Yeah, that would have been smart. It had been smart. Or you know, maybe like an on call doctor maybe, because I don't think that's in his friend's group. I mean, he's got, he's got smart guy, he's got lawyer guy. He's got.
499
00:56:41.000 --> 00:56:43.000
There he is doing blood transfusions.
500
00:56:43.000 --> 00:57:01.000
Oh, so maybe he's doctor guy. But he needs it. He needs, he needs doctor person. He needs, he needs, he needs a house or a wolf or like, you know, one of the brothers from whatever that show is where they, they live on the Hamptons.
501
00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:16.000
And then Alfred comes back and is like, alfred, I'm not going to pat you up. I'm not going to help you. I'm not doing anything for you. So you, Alfred and then down here, we get another one of the. The things from the zoo. It says, bats are highly infectious.
502
00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:19.000
Oh, my goodness.
503
00:57:19.000 --> 00:57:53.000
And I just. I mean, I love how it tied this together. And then we're at the end of the. This issue because the mayors, the mayor and the deputy mayor are standing there, and all of a sudden these boxes drop out of the sky and everybody starts grabbing masks like they're in one of the Purge movies. And we get a preview for Zatanna, which I didn't buy, so I don't know if it's good. And Jamal Campbell wrote it and drew it, so it's probably really good.
504
00:57:53.000 --> 00:58:04.000
It probably is. It looks. I mean, the. The artwork like what we see right here. It looks really good. Satan is pretty good book. I mean, so.
505
00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:11.000
But I did not buy it, so. Yeah, I mean, this.
506
00:58:11.000 --> 00:58:12.000
I.
507
00:58:12.000 --> 00:58:18.000
Well, when I was reading this, even though I've read it before, I immediately went and started reading number six again,
508
00:58:18.000 --> 00:58:27.000
because, of course, you would have to, because you know what happens next. Got the end. Like, the Purge and what's going on?
509
00:58:27.000 --> 00:58:41.000
I was just going to pull. I really love what's going on with the art at dc. You've got the square paneling there. I was going to pull Grimbor back out for a second because Travis Web saw this page earlier.
510
00:58:41.000 --> 00:58:42.000
Yeah.
511
00:58:42.000 --> 00:59:05.000
Actually, I showed Travis, say. Well, first I showed Travis just the Grimbor at the bottom, and then he was, of course, like, oh, obscure Legion reference. And then he goes. Then he sent me a message, said, please show me the whole page because I want to see the paneling in that book so I get inspired again. That's what he said. Yeah. I just think the panel. The circular paneling in here looks good.
512
00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:13.000
Oh, my. I know. Like, when I tried to blow up the picture that you sent me, and I was like, oh, my gosh, this is so good.
513
00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:20.000
But then I had another friend I sent it to looked at it and said, how do I read that?
514
00:59:20.000 --> 00:59:21.000
So obviously they don't.
515
00:59:21.000 --> 00:59:32.000
And I. I said. I said, top, middle, bottom. When I wrote. I said. I said top, middle, bottom. Just like, grim. Oh, wait, I didn't say that.
516
00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:39.000
I. Yeah, totally. Because, like, I mean. I mean, that is. That makes sense. You got to read.
517
00:59:39.000 --> 01:00:14.000
But I said, top, top, middle, bottom. Like, it's really easy to read. Like, I didn't find it hard to read at all. But I was reading the book through, and there's another page here with the circular panels with Matter Eater Lad with Tenzel talking. And I find the layouts in this book to be incredibly beautiful and the layouts in this book to be beautiful. This Hayden Sherman art. But even when we get, like, a whole page like this with these angular panels at the bottom, like, just check out that.
518
01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:18.000
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
519
01:00:18.000 --> 01:00:19.000
It's.
520
01:00:18.000 --> 01:00:20.000
It's. It's not.
521
01:00:20.000 --> 01:00:22.000
They're putting out good stuff.
522
01:00:22.000 --> 01:00:23.000
I will say this. And.
523
01:00:23.000 --> 01:00:24.000
And.
524
01:00:23.000 --> 01:01:02.000
And this is like, people take from things, inspiration from other things, and this is a good thing, generally speaking. And not to say this is like a animification, but, like, you get a lot of this type of paneling look in a manga. And it's, you know, it's. It's. It's cool. It's very dynamic. It's very interesting. You know, the way that. That, that looks. It's stacked in a different way. It draws you in and makes you think while you're reading it.
525
01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:07.000
One, if it was traditional comic art, I probably wouldn't like it laid out that way.
526
01:01:07.000 --> 01:01:08.000
Right.
527
01:01:08.000 --> 01:01:15.000
But the way I do feel like Sherman and Dragoda both do a really good job of a blended style.
528
01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:16.000
Yeah.
529
01:01:16.000 --> 01:01:22.000
And then you're, you know, looking at it. I mean, just happen to have the old Giffen stuff here.
530
01:01:22.000 --> 01:01:24.000
Right.
531
01:01:24.000 --> 01:01:50.000
And this was completely accidental. That. Not that it was out, but the Giffen stuff's interesting because Giffen loved to do lots of panels too. Yeah. But Giffen loved to do, like, the 12 panel and nine panel grids. Right. And tell a lot of
story and. But he also really focused on facial expressions. Right. And angles and things like that where a different form of storytelling. Right.
532
01:01:50.000 --> 01:01:51.000
Yeah.
533
01:01:51.000 --> 01:01:54.000
And nothing's wrong with either one. Right. They're both.
534
01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:56.000
They're both really good.
535
01:01:56.000 --> 01:01:58.000
They're both fun ways to tell a story.
536
01:01:58.000 --> 01:02:02.000
I. I will say this too. And. And there's something I saw with the.
537
01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:09.000
Always talk about the Legion 9 panel grids that were after Watchmen. Happen to be in this book.
538
01:02:09.000 --> 01:02:22.000
Yeah. But like in the coloring, too, like, who's the colorist in. In the books that you just showed that were new? Because that's also important in key. Because one of the things.
539
01:02:22.000 --> 01:02:25.000
Frank Martin, on this one. Let me grab the Legion colorist for you.
540
01:02:25.000 --> 01:03:12.000
Okay. Because with one of the things that Travis and I were talking about is like, you can have somebody draw something, and then you can have somebody color it in, and it's a hundred percent different because the way that somebody draws it looks one way, and then the way somebody colors it makes it just stand out a hundred better or 100. You know, like, it just looks like a different image altogether. It Just brings a different life to it. And I guarantee you the line work is. Is. Is great, but the way that it's colored, it really stands out, and it really pops off that page and makes you just want to know.
541
01:03:12.000 --> 01:03:16.000
The colorist in this one is Tamra Bonvillin.
542
01:03:16.000 --> 01:03:17.000
Okay.
543
01:03:17.000 --> 01:03:20.000
So organization. That's.
544
01:03:20.000 --> 01:03:21.000
That's somebody.
545
01:03:20.000 --> 01:03:22.000
It's spelled like villain.
546
01:03:22.000 --> 01:03:23.000
Yeah.
547
01:03:23.000 --> 01:03:24.000
Yeah.
548
01:03:23.000 --> 01:03:33.000
But that's somebody that I'm gonna probably be keeping an eye out for, because I like the way that they make the. The art just pop off the page.
549
01:03:33.000 --> 01:03:36.000
And his materader lad ever looked cooler than right there?
550
01:03:36.000 --> 01:04:00.000
No, that, like, again, that is like, I. Looking at that page, it just. The whole thing just looks so good. You know, you've seen other books where, you know, it's just like, boom, boom, boom. Okay, that's. I'm following the story. I'm going through the panels, and you open up that page spread, and I'm like, what the hell is going on?
551
01:04:00.000 --> 01:04:05.000
Well, I'm gonna pull it just because I have this here too. I'm gonna pull another callback thing.
552
01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:06.000
Yeah.
553
01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:18.000
Because Giffen like to put these. Because now sometimes I think this was a criticism of his because he couldn't get enough story in the regular book. Right. He put these in
the back of the book.
554
01:04:18.000 --> 01:04:21.000
Oh, yeah. Just to give you huge.
555
01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:22.000
More text pieces.
556
01:04:22.000 --> 01:04:23.000
Yeah.
557
01:04:23.000 --> 01:04:35.000
One in this case, to give some context. This was the first issue of Volume 4 of Legion, and it was set five years later in the future from the previous issue. Previous series. Right. So they're trying to give you some backstory. Right. Because you're.
558
01:04:35.000 --> 01:04:36.000
Yeah.
559
01:04:35.000 --> 01:04:57.000
You're just jumping in as if you. But you've missed the last fight. You don't know what's happened. Right. So he's giving you these. But I love this here because they pay homage to that on the very first page of this book. But they do it in a completely different way. And the coloring and everything. Check this out. Is that not fun?
560
01:04:57.000 --> 01:05:18.000
Oh, that is super fun. And I mean modern time wise. Okay. That looks like something if you're jumping through, like, anything that you're looking at in today's lens is familiar enough to be like, okay, I get it.
561
01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:32.000
And the words here actually are words, Right. They're not just. I now would have been kind of cool if they put in interlock, and nobody would have been able to read it, but I would have had to sit here and translate the whole thing. So I'm kind of glad they didn't buy it.
562
01:05:32.000 --> 01:05:35.000
But you would have. That's the Thing I would have.
563
01:05:35.000 --> 01:05:55.000
But they're talking about, like, this is the part where they were talking about. Bismolians have evolved with deadly ability to eat and process all forms of matter. Their teeth can chew through nearly all matter known to the United Planet. They are extremely fast and agile. So they're telling you about the characters in this. Right. But also giving you that feel to the old book.
564
01:05:55.000 --> 01:05:56.000
Yeah.
565
01:05:55.000 --> 01:06:00.000
And then this side is kind of fun because it's listing, like, all the alien races over here.
566
01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:09.000
But it looks like you're looking at an updated Wikipedia, though. I mean, it looks cool. It looks cool as hell. People, like, don't sleep on this.
567
01:06:09.000 --> 01:06:47.000
But I've just. It's. There's just a lot of. Of just. You point out, sometimes I don't always have the brand new books next to me. And there's a lot of fun stuff going on. There's fun stuff at Marvel, too. I mean, unfortunately, I can't grab Gail's book out of here because it came a couple weeks ago because both issues were there. And I don't have one of her. I don't have one of the X Men books in here, but I'm enjoying those as well. But I. I think there's a lot of creativity gone going on. I guess, you know, a lot of times we talk about older comics, but I. I just want to make a pitch here at that toward the end is don't sleep on some of these new books. Yeah. I can go out and get old stuff, too, and love it.
568
01:06:47.000 --> 01:06:48.000
Yeah.
569
01:06:48.000 --> 01:07:13.000
And, you know, I mostly bought this because it's a tribute to Keith Giffen, but it's. I have all sorts of stuff that I'm reading all the time, but then, you know, don't sleep on these new books. And I think, Greg, you made a really good point that, you know, this art is a combination of classic. The Hayden Sherman stuff and the Nick Dragoda stuff. Kind of a combination of a classic art style with the manga style. Right?
570
01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:18.000
Yeah. And it's kind of what the. Like the kids today.
571
01:07:18.000 --> 01:07:19.000
The kids today.
572
01:07:19.000 --> 01:07:24.000
The kids today are used to or they're. They're. They're accustomed to, in a sense.
573
01:07:24.000 --> 01:07:25.000
Right.
574
01:07:24.000 --> 01:08:46.000
Because if they're. If you're. If you're trying to draw in new readers and they're used to seeing stuff that is put up on any type of. I want to say there's a multitude of comic outlets out there for. For people, and a majority of the folks that are coming out of art school are trained in various types of school of very Various types of art. But manga is definitely very prevalent, very, very popular. And they're seeing a lot of comics that are done in that way. And if you want to see. If you want to see those. Those same readers cross over from the types of comics that they're accustomed to to something that's more, I want to say, like, mainstream and other things. Put it out there in a. In a way that they're gonna be drawn into it and give them something that they can go, oh, this is something that I'm familiar enough with in. In an art style that I understand that I like. And. Oh, what is. How did it. Why did he do this? Oh, okay. And makes them really think and makes them appreciate it.
575
01:08:46.000 --> 01:08:54.000
And I will say it's interesting because when I looked at this here and in the action poses in the way that that story is written and all the paneling. I love this.
576
01:08:54.000 --> 01:08:55.000
Yeah.
577
01:08:55.000 --> 01:09:15.000
I'm gonna say. I don't know. When I, I, I asked. When we were at summercon, I asked Randy why I didn't like the figures that were out, because all we just had were the, Just the, The. The figure drawing. Right. We didn't have it all in the book. Right. So all in the book. I don't know that I like this Static.
578
01:09:15.000 --> 01:09:16.000
Yeah.
579
01:09:16.000 --> 01:09:18.000
I don't know if that static is my favorite.
580
01:09:18.000 --> 01:09:19.000
Right, Right.
581
01:09:19.000 --> 01:09:49.000
Just that character design and a static form. But when it's integrated into stories, with the paneling and how they're telling stories and it's all moving together. I'm not saying I dislike this. I'm just saying I don't know that that's my favorite. Right, Right. But when I look at it in here and it's all drawn together, it's absolutely great. And I
will say, I hung up my Legion. I got my comic shop sent me the Legion promo poster. So I have it hanging up in the house. And I will say three different people have looked at it and commented on how great it looks.
582
01:09:49.000 --> 01:09:51.000
Hey, there you go.
583
01:09:51.000 --> 01:09:56.000
And that's what you're saying, right. Like, it's not about what I liked in 1984.
584
01:09:56.000 --> 01:09:57.000
Yeah.
585
01:09:57.000 --> 01:10:07.000
But it's what's about where the industry is now and what art is there. And I guess if you're holding on to some sort of weird past where you're just going to hate on everything, then it's probably not going to work for you.
586
01:10:07.000 --> 01:11:08.000
But you got to move forward, people. And. And I will say, though, like, that Lesion book has a. It's very akin to that. That cover that you just Showed for the listeners, for the viewers out there, they saw it. But for the listeners, it looks like something that just popped off a comic book, but with banging colors. I mean, why would you not want to buy that Legion book? Why would you not want to see what's inside? And. And if you're familiar with comic books, they didn't have colors. So, I mean, you're gonna want to buy this book, and you're gonna want to check out this Legion book and see what's inside, because it's a damn Easter egg. And when Dan shows me pictures, he's. He's. He spammed me with text messages a couple times, and between Travis and I. And Travis will message me back, like, what the hell is going on with these books? So, I mean, it's. It's like, okay, I. Yeah, this is. This is good stuff.
587
01:11:08.000 --> 01:11:23.000
Well, and I will remind everybody that, you know, all of the. Not all of them, but there was a large group of Legion fans in the early 1990s, late 80s bitching about Keith Giffen's art, too.
588
01:11:23.000 --> 01:11:24.000
Yeah.
589
01:11:24.000 --> 01:11:27.000
Right. And saying how terrible and ugly this is.
590
01:11:27.000 --> 01:11:35.000
Oh, but it. But it's akin to that, too. So, I mean, come on, people. I mean, and it's where we're.
591
01:11:35.000 --> 01:11:36.000
We.
592
01:11:35.000 --> 01:11:42.000
It's circular. It's a. It's like a clock. It all comes back around to 12 again. So we.
593
01:11:42.000 --> 01:11:46.000
Well, I dare somebody to walk up to Simon Bisley and tell him that this is ugly. So.
594
01:11:46.000 --> 01:11:51.000
Well, he'll tell you to piss off. That's what he'll tell you.
595
01:11:51.000 --> 01:11:53.000
If you don't like it, why did you come here?
596
01:11:53.000 --> 01:11:57.000
Why'd you come to tell me this?
597
01:11:57.000 --> 01:11:58.000
He's for.
598
01:11:58.000 --> 01:12:10.000
For. For the gruffest guy. I mean, and honestly, for somebody who draws that character guy, I mean, he is. He is exactly who you imagine drawing that character.
599
01:12:10.000 --> 01:12:11.000
Yep.
600
01:12:11.000 --> 01:12:28.000
And it is exactly the interaction I imagine, was the
best and maybe definitely, like, top tier of most interactions out there.
601
01:12:28.000 --> 01:12:46.000
Well, and I'll. I'll apologize ahead of time. I. I think we were. We were funny the last couple weeks. I don't know if we were funny as this week, but I. I just. The book's really enjoyable, and hopefully you had fun with us down this little comic book comparison, too, because I wanted to. It's kind of fun to have the new books out.
602
01:12:46.000 --> 01:12:47.000
Yeah.
603
01:12:46.000 --> 01:13:15.000
And it's fun to look at the art and not just limit ourselves by being in the past. Right. Like, being. I feel like I'm like a therapist now, but, you know, center yourself not just in the Past, but in the present. That doesn't mean I can't go back and watch the live stream of WWCW Wrestling on YouTube when I'm going to sleep at night. But tell me how I should also enjoy the things option. Do you feel Only you can choose
604
01:13:15.000 --> 01:13:18.000
how you feel as I unpack this feeling.
605
01:13:18.000 --> 01:13:21.000
I can't define how you feel.
606
01:13:21.000 --> 01:13:22.000
I'm feeling pretty good.
607
01:13:22.000 --> 01:13:25.000
Yeah. I'm not falling into this trap.
608
01:13:25.000 --> 01:13:27.000
You're not falling. It's not a trap, Dan.
609
01:13:27.000 --> 01:13:31.000
Oh, yeah, you're caught in a trap. You can't walk out.
610
01:13:31.000 --> 01:13:34.000
You're not in trap, Dan. Roll again.
611
01:13:34.000 --> 01:13:36.000
Because Grimbor loves you too much, baby.
612
01:13:36.000 --> 01:13:41.000
Grimbor loves you too much, baby. You can't fall into the trap that you're already in.
613
01:13:41.000 --> 01:13:47.000
I mean, Daddy Grimbor hitting on Rock Crin is Grim Boar with his. Whoa. That.
614
01:13:47.000 --> 01:13:51.000
The hand on the hands. Touching hands.
615
01:13:51.000 --> 01:13:55.000
Hey, buddy, you play Magno Ball? That's right. You did.
616
01:13:55.000 --> 01:14:01.000
I was like, damn, dude. I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy can get you off the planet, if you know what I mean.
617
01:14:01.000 --> 01:14:24.000
Yeah, I always. I always thought Grimbor made more sense for Grimbor to like boys than like, karma or whatever her name was in the Legion war. Well, on that note, got game. On that note, obviously, we've mentioned Jiu Jitsu lawyer Paul on the podcast. If you need some legal help, I don't have the phone number ready, so I don't know why I started this promo at all.
618
01:14:24.000 --> 01:14:28.000
He doesn't have the phone number ready, people. You always had to have the phone number ready.
619
01:14:28.000 --> 01:14:31.000
I had to restart my computer before the podcast started.
620
01:14:31.000 --> 01:14:38.000
You want to call Jiu Jitsu lure, Paul, we need to have the phone number for you to call. Yeah, I need the number, Dan.
621
01:14:38.000 --> 01:14:40.000
Well, the number is.
622
01:14:40.000 --> 01:14:41.000
Wow.
623
01:14:41.000 --> 01:14:56.000
The number is 253-656-4475. And if you need some legal help, you can talk to the wonderful Kelly on the phone, and she will connect you with Paul. And if Paul can't help you, he'll connect you with somebody that can.
624
01:14:56.000 --> 01:15:02.000
If I'm a young man trying to get off planet. But Grimbor is trying to persuade.
625
01:15:02.000 --> 01:15:06.000
If Grimbor is making your job intolerable.
626
01:15:06.000 --> 01:15:07.000
Yeah.
627
01:15:06.000 --> 01:15:14.000
He's creating a sexual hostile environment at your job. That's a good time to call Jiu Jitsu Rapal. He probably would represent you in that case.
628
01:15:14.000 --> 01:15:19.000
Good, good. Because, I mean. I mean, it's not happening to me, but maybe somebody.
629
01:15:19.000 --> 01:15:23.000
Somebody at your work keeps wrapping you with chains. And you've told them no many times.
630
01:15:23.000 --> 01:15:24.000
Many Times.
631
01:15:23.000 --> 01:15:26.000
That is. That is. That is the time to take care
632
01:15:26.000 --> 01:15:29.000
of uncomfortable and unfortunate.
633
01:15:29.000 --> 01:15:30.000
Yeah.
634
01:15:29.000 --> 01:15:30.000
They don't like it.
635
01:15:30.000 --> 01:15:33.000
It's a bad situation, so.
636
01:15:33.000 --> 01:15:34.000
Bad situation.
637
01:15:33.000 --> 01:15:42.000
Yeah. I mean, for example, if you happen to be at the Retro Emporium on Meager street in Kent, Washington, where you can relive your childhood.
638
01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:43.000
Yeah.
639
01:15:42.000 --> 01:16:05.000
And you could visit them on Instagram or Facebook and see the wonderful posts that Ann Smith puts out. But if you knew that somebody had put chains on the Squatcher man and locked him in the back, back by the old stock, and you knew it was Greg, that would be the time. That would be the time to reach out to jujitsu lawyer Paul.
640
01:16:05.000 --> 01:16:07.000
This man is living his best life
641
01:16:07.000 --> 01:16:10.000
right now out on a farm. You sent him to a farm in.
642
01:16:10.000 --> 01:16:19.000
No, he's. He's visiting the Yetis, his cousins in. In. In. He's. He's out there in the Himalayas.
643
01:16:19.000 --> 01:16:20.000
In the Himalayas.
644
01:16:20.000 --> 01:16:24.000
Picking up the pink salt. Yeah. Himalayan.
645
01:16:24.000 --> 01:16:25.000
Okay.
646
01:16:24.000 --> 01:16:25.000
The Yetis.
647
01:16:25.000 --> 01:16:39.000
Yeah. We know what's happened. And of course, in addition to the Retro Emporium, and we are going to be at Grit City Comic con on the 7th. It'll be Greg I and one Mr. Tanner. Will Brett be there?
648
01:16:39.000 --> 01:16:40.000
Change match. Cage match. Cage match?
649
01:16:40.000 --> 01:16:42.000
No, there's gonna be no cage match.
650
01:16:42.000 --> 01:16:48.000
I. I don't know. I. I think. I think Mr. Taylor said there might be a cage he could bring.
651
01:16:48.000 --> 01:16:54.000
He said that. But Mr. Tanner has sworn off wrestling on social media, so there will be none of that.
652
01:16:54.000 --> 01:17:00.000
Oh, no. Okay. Yeah. And. And there will be no Brett. Brett is not available for this this time around. So.
653
01:17:00.000 --> 01:17:01.000
Okay.
654
01:17:01.000 --> 01:17:02.000
So.
655
01:17:01.000 --> 01:17:04.000
But there are other great people there. Like Scott Collins.
656
01:17:04.000 --> 01:17:15.000

And now has Ann instructed you on how to take pictures for things?
678
01:18:19.000 --> 01:18:46.000
That's. That's the, that's the, that's the Greg face. That is the face that I make when I take pictures. I've taken that face for my whole entire life. And honestly, I. I have gone back through all my pictures and I have taken that face since I was a child. My mom is taking pictures like that. My dad is taking pictures like that. That is the face that I grew up taking pictures of. My face is that face. That is the face that I think pictures is like.
679
01:18:46.000 --> 01:18:49.000
Well, like there's even books that you worked on down here.

682
01:18:59.000 --> 01:19:19.000

I mean, it's a book I worked on. Those are books that I worked on. I'm not. Anyway, there. If, if you are lucky enough to come to the show and I have those books with me, you might get one for free.
683
01:19:19.000 --> 01:19:22.000
Well, what books will you have at the show?
684
01:19:22.000 --> 01:19:32.000

685
01:19:32.000 --> 01:19:37.000
Okay. Well, there we go. And probably not Starlight issues, but we're going to try.
686
01:19:37.000 --> 01:19:53.000
I'm going to have a couple. Some of these series, not the whole series. It's really hard right now, but we do have printing in progress, so we'll be getting more prints out there for the folks.

01:20:11.000 --> 01:20:18.000
Yeah, get out of here. Oh, my gosh. Like, hats are not limited in size. These things stretch out. They are.
693
01:20:18.000 --> 01:20:22.000

So it's two for sale, but it's not. Sure shirts. That. That is. That is. You better come up and get one.
