Hello, and welcome to First Issues Now the Weekly show Post,
2
00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:07.360
a daily ish about only the newest first issues released
3
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:10.599
by insert comic company. Here this week, I'll be looking
4
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:13.560
at the comics released for the week of September twenty fourth,
5
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:17.320
twenty twenty five. No, I haven't read the previous series,
6
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:19.800
but I'm always happy to get another Kung Fu Wu
7
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:22.760
Shoo kind of comic. I'm consistent in my love for
8
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:25.920
the era and the insanity that a good writer can bring,
9
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:29.559
So let's hear it. Four Orphan and the Five Beasts
10
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.719
Bath of Blood number one, written Ilisher and LETTERD by
11
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.560
the creator James Sokoe. Orphan Moe is back after having
12
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.679
dispatched two of the five Beasts tasked to her by
13
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:42.719
her late master. The hunt begins for the third. But
14
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.759
Mo isn't the only one following the trail as a
15
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.159
whole new cast of eccentric and dangerous players arrive to
16
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:51.960
join the Fray. But that's not having a log line
17
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.640
for this, because yeah, well I haven't read the first ones.
18
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.119
This is a really fantastic start for even those who haven't.
19
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.439
I don't know about the past players, but the ones
20
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.159
introed here are well. I don't want to say manga
21
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.239
as fuck, but yeah, for a good example, there's a
22
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:09.400
kick ass scene where Moe uses a postaff through someone's
23
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.239
cheek to swing them around, or at the end where
24
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.560
there's a hand trying to attack a woman buggy style. Right,
25
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.319
So let's start at the beginning. I should say that
26
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:20.359
the plot of this comic is that the bruised Pine bandits.
27
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:24.359
I believe that's Mo and her faithful Patsy Hotpan, and
28
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:26.239
I think a pregnant chick, but I'm not sure if
29
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.680
she actually counts as a member of the bandits or
30
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.480
she's just random mystical pregnant woman you know those kind
31
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.400
of float around. Having defeated two of the five beasts
32
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.159
are now on the track of the third. Meanwhile, there's
33
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:40.799
a mysterious Inspector Jao on her trail. Yes, in town.
34
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.040
There is a really cool action scene, actually a couple,
35
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:45.760
but the one that's really fun starts with that trick
36
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:47.959
with the staff, although it's technically a staff end of
37
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.480
a spear, and that's just badass. Then Inspector Jiao ends
38
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.200
the fight by saying she and Mo needs to talk.
39
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.640
Dun dun, dun. Oh, and then the hand of apparently
40
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.159
Chopar Tang is on the Pregnant Ladies belly to give
41
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.640
a wait, what the hell for a real hook ending? Yes,
42
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.200
I am here for that. If you heard the plot
43
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.400
and didn't go well, that actually sounds pretty cool, even
44
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:10.159
if it's a door who's saying it? Then you are
45
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:12.400
a stronger man than I. But that is also why
46
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:16.280
sometimes the summary isn't a means to encapture why something
47
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.319
is good. It is interesting how that works. That is
48
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:23.280
easier to talk about than good. I blame Shakespeare anyways.
49
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.080
The comic is awesome with a capital fuck. Yeah. This
50
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.080
is a love letter to the Chopsaki Woujia movies that
51
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:31.400
I grew up watching avidly. I'd say it comes off
52
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.240
as late Shaw Brothers, but at the same time it
53
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:36.039
definitely is its own thing, using the tropes and styles
54
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.639
from those flicks, but at the same time as James
55
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.240
Stockoe my dudes, and he is a flavor all by himself.
56
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.199
The art is for netic kinetic dynamic. It flows like
57
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.719
water but hits with the intensity of a brick. It
58
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.759
is epic. Oh, and the colors are pretty cool too. Look,
59
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.000
it's not going to come to any surprise that this
60
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:54.520
is a five out of five if I did a
61
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:58.919
numbering system, but on migrating scale. The verdict is collected.
62
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.599
Collect it so that you should have it on both your
63
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.719
digital pull lists and your physical pull list. You should
64
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:06.919
get all of the issues in floppy and when the
65
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:10.159
trade comes out, get the trade. And of course, since
66
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:12.840
this is actually the second mini in the orphaned books,
67
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.319
you should retroactively go back and give that first run
68
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.919
at the very least in trade form a read. And
69
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:21.919
if you've never heard of Stokou before, the book of
70
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.719
unfinished comics that came out he did is honestly a
71
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:29.080
must have for any comic fan or honestly just art
72
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:33.560
fan in general. Completely sin serious about that, dudeses, but
73
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.439
maybe I'm wrong. Let me know what your thoughts of
74
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.479
this issue is over on Facebook at the Comic Archivist
75
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:42.479
or Twitter at AJAC underscore does it All or a
76
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.280
blue Sky at AGAC does it All without any Underscore.
77
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.560
Don't forget to like, share, follow, and do all the
78
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:50.680
stuff that I'm being told is important to continue doing these.
79
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.479
It's just like tipping the bell hop. And while you're
80
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.439
at it, check out the other podcast from carry On
81
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:59.479
productions like killing fifteen minutes, mithing fifteen minutes, and blanking
82
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:03.319
fifteen minutes. They're all pretty sweet more than anything, though,
83
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:05.039
Staygolden Inklings.
