[SPEAKER_05]: What's up, everybody?

[SPEAKER_05]: Welcome to the stack on Alex.

[SPEAKER_05]: I'm just on Pete and on the stack, we talk about a bunch of comics that have come out this week.

[SPEAKER_05]: So let's get into it with no delay.

[SPEAKER_05]: Kicking it off with the comics.

[SPEAKER_03]: Talking comics.

[SPEAKER_03]: No delay.

[SPEAKER_03]: Never delayed.

[SPEAKER_03]: We don't know till the time.

[SPEAKER_03]: We don't even talk to each other.

[SPEAKER_03]: We just come and cool.

[SPEAKER_03]: Don't even say each other's names.

[SPEAKER_03]: And we just start talking comics.

[SPEAKER_05]: I don't even know these guys who flash absolute flash absolutely we're going to talk about that and we're going to review it because that's what we do on the show with no delay absolutely flash from 10 from DC Comics written by Jeff Lamier aren't by Dick Robles in this issue while he West finally makes his way into four facts as the rogues are hot behind him he's been teeming up with them and we get some revelations about the ongoing mysteries in this series [SPEAKER_05]: I really have to like you this more and more every issue personally.

[SPEAKER_05]: I think it started as a little bit of a still bird, but a lot of that was building the ground that it needed to get to this point where things really started to heat up here.

[SPEAKER_05]: I like the art.

[SPEAKER_05]: I like the writing.

[SPEAKER_05]: I'm very much all in on this title, no pun, no pun on the DC all in.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and the first off cool cover, uh, I really love the colors in this really, uh, some great use of red, uh, love the red.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, love the, the panel designs, big action, big panels, uh, you know, grudists still not a factor, which is kind of freaking me out in the back of my mind as these stories are happening.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I don't want to hide up a little much.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't buy it, I don't buy it, I don't buy it.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't buy that all.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's really going to blow up in their face.

[SPEAKER_02]: But this is great.

[SPEAKER_02]: This is enjoyable.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't normally like flash.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think this started really strong.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like the first two issues, then got a little weird.

[SPEAKER_02]: But now it's back.

[SPEAKER_03]: Do you feel like P when you encounter someone with a villain's name?

[SPEAKER_03]: It makes you like not trust them.

[SPEAKER_03]: Even though it's just like [SPEAKER_03]: Hi, yes, my name is James Doom.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh my god.

[SPEAKER_03]: Get out of here just a mild manner and one of your best friends in college was named Hitler, right?

[SPEAKER_02]: If I remember correctly.

[SPEAKER_02]: That is not correct.

[SPEAKER_02]: That was one of your friends.

[SPEAKER_02]: You went to Cornell.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think that the, you know, when my work first got Coper insurance, they had to sit me down because I was like, I don't trust this at all.

[SPEAKER_02]: And they're like, be, no, this is real.

[SPEAKER_02]: you've got to take this insurance and I was like it's crazy you've got to do what you do walk the walk and I just thought what would you feel though if you're like if you had been working in California and it was co-brand LA or co-brand live you well co-brand a la la la la la I wouldn't fall for you like you just did [SPEAKER_03]: you just do.

[SPEAKER_03]: You couldn't help yourself.

[SPEAKER_03]: My dermatologist, when I was much younger, was named Dr.

[SPEAKER_03]: Terrible.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I still trusted him.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's a true story.

[SPEAKER_03]: His name was Dr.

Michael Terrible.

[SPEAKER_02]: But was he or was he not?

[SPEAKER_05]: That's the conversation before I asked.

[SPEAKER_05]: Is it pronounced to reblaid?

[SPEAKER_05]: You said, no, it was Terrible and you had a conversation about that.

[SPEAKER_05]: What do you think about absolute flash, just?

[SPEAKER_03]: Great, great follow-up question again, no delays here.

[SPEAKER_03]: He did end up finding a mole that he removed from my body.

[SPEAKER_03]: I put his coat barefoot.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and now, actually, I do have a follow-up question here.

[SPEAKER_05]: Since you grew up up state, are we talking about a mole like a piece of skin, or are we talking like he actually removed the animal and mole from your body?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, no, I had a mole running through my GI tract and he did remove it.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's an absolute, I describe, I describe the accident that led to a molding in my body, but We know you have two in a row.

[SPEAKER_02]: You strike well water.

[SPEAKER_03]: I did drink well water, haven't that doesn't necessarily mean you can't sleep well water.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, well, yeah [SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, this comic I knocked a little bit as being sort of not my favorite come out of the gate and I've identified why I think this is the most like just traditional superhero fair and type comic in the absolute universe But actually think they're really delivering though now it's like I think the story has been a really nicely pay slow build and in this issue in particular we get some [SPEAKER_03]: big emotional moments, big flash style flash continuity payoffs that really worked here even though I maybe could have predicted this character doing the thing that happens.

[SPEAKER_03]: It was still being surprised by a character like Rod, the way the robes are being handled, all these things.

[SPEAKER_03]: This is a great comic, the absolute universe continues to sort of [SPEAKER_03]: push out the tent poles to carve out a larger and larger area of them just taking over like how comic book storytelling goes where it's like hey why don't we just go hard all the time and that's what they're doing.

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, and one other thing that a lot in this book, on the easy to predict part, I think they've been very clear that like, there's a whole time loop thing going on with this book.

[SPEAKER_05]: But it's not something that they're doing in one issue or even two issues, but they're doing it in at least 12 issues at this point.

[SPEAKER_05]: So DC giving them the room and the breath of storytelling to be able to slowly build up these things that I do think are going to be absolutely devastating when they've fed any of them.

[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.

[SPEAKER_05]: Absolutely.

[SPEAKER_05]: Absolutely.

[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.

[SPEAKER_05]: In a flash, it's going to be devastating if you will.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to give him room to run.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, exactly.

[SPEAKER_05]: Not be stuck in the limire if you will.

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, why?

[SPEAKER_05]: The sea?

[SPEAKER_05]: No, no, not the narrow limire, like the mire, like the muck.

[SPEAKER_03]: Interesting.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think you'll have to say why I made that mistake.

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I think with no delay, we should move to our next title, which is Black Panther intergalactic number one from Marvel Written by Victor Laval, Art by Stefano Nessie.

[SPEAKER_05]: Pete, go ahead and get the Beastie Boys out of your system, and then we can talk about the book.

[SPEAKER_02]: Intergalactic plan the Terry, thank you.

[SPEAKER_05]: Great.

[SPEAKER_05]: I, this is spitting off of the imperial crossover.

[SPEAKER_05]: So far, we've really liked the spit off, see, but though we did love the event or mixed on the event, planted She-Hulk, great Nova Santorian's great.

[SPEAKER_05]: Now we're getting a very different story of Black Panther and Wakanda in space, which you guys think about this one, are we three, four, three?

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I thought this was enjoyable.

[SPEAKER_02]: There's some kind of jumping around here from different worlds, different times.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to kind of figure out all that is happening, but I love the art.

[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like this guy really cool action, interesting story.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm excited to see what's next.

[SPEAKER_03]: I like the moves here.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's so much exposition in this first issue that it feels like such a big dense first bite out of the apple.

[SPEAKER_03]: When what I really want is just to like, hey, let's get just a sense of a couple of these characters before we get into so much plot things.

[SPEAKER_03]: But the plot is interesting, like, and I especially like what is this issue ends.

[SPEAKER_03]: But this is just feeling a little bit of that hangover from the larger Imperial event.

[SPEAKER_03]: that it was like too much all at once when there could have been a better story without having to get so bureaucratic and there's there is a lot of that here as well.

[SPEAKER_05]: There are like you guys are saying a lot of neat plot points throughout here Black Panther is lost in some strange land and he's exploring that we get to see some cool stuff there including familiar characters in different ways.

[SPEAKER_05]: is weirdly the same issue that we had with Ultimate Black Panther, which Ultimate Black Panther felt like a Black Panther story.

[SPEAKER_05]: This also, this does not feel like a Black Panther story that it any way needs to take place in space with an intergalactic empire.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's the sort of thing that could happen Wakanda could happen on Earth.

[SPEAKER_05]: could happen anywhere else.

[SPEAKER_05]: So I don't know.

[SPEAKER_05]: I was surprised by that because give it the title.

[SPEAKER_05]: We see planets on the cover.

[SPEAKER_05]: We see ships and explosions.

[SPEAKER_05]: Like you're saying, it's the set up of the whole cosmos is unstable at this point.

[SPEAKER_05]: So I don't know why we didn't get any of that instead of mostly taking place in a pocket universe off of one room on one planet, you know?

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it got built towards it because when I when I looked at this cover when I read the title, I was like, oh, it's really interesting like a plant a black Panther and the nation of Wakanda, which was about [SPEAKER_03]: secrecy and remaining in its sort of particular place for all of its history.

[SPEAKER_03]: And now that they're doing the opposite, they're literally an expanded, intergalactic empire.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like that's the opposite.

[SPEAKER_03]: I wonder if that's what this is about.

[SPEAKER_03]: And it's actually not about that at all.

[SPEAKER_03]: There it is going back into a very contained story area.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I wish they would, that feels like such a fertile area to talk about.

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, and that, I believe it was tiny, hazy coaches run, which did the intergalactic empire of Wakanda, and it's tough to match up to that, like there's enough of it against the team, but like that's like sort of the top tier in terms of heady storytelling.

[SPEAKER_05]: So I understand backing off and going in the other direction, but I guess we'll have to see how this goes.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, we'll see.

[SPEAKER_05]: Next up, G.I.

[SPEAKER_05]: Joe number 16 from Scott, about an image coming straight in by Joshua Williamson, art by Tom Riley.

[SPEAKER_05]: We're going to do the Treadknock War as Duke and Cooper Commander of being taken hostage by a bunch of Hillbilly's and this issue, the Treadknows show up.

[SPEAKER_05]: I know that I don't need to say Dreadknock's twice in the same sentence.

[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_05]: In any case, the Joe show up to you save them, but there's some more twists and turns and big fights go on here.

[SPEAKER_05]: Pete, take it away.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, if I may jump in real quick, because I actually love this.

[SPEAKER_03]: This was an issue that I thought really worked so hard.

[SPEAKER_03]: It wasn't about just name checking characters.

[SPEAKER_03]: It was like, you really from the jump, you're like, [SPEAKER_03]: Duke, the Duke, Cobra commander thing of where it Duke's like, hey, I just want to question this guy.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's the villain.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to try to track down for a while.

[SPEAKER_03]: And they're like, we're, they're dread knocks like we're crazy.

[SPEAKER_03]: The pat, this pit one panel in the middle of the book is like, [SPEAKER_03]: One of the holding up a chainsaw saying we only care about money and parties.

[SPEAKER_03]: That was like sick.

[SPEAKER_02]: That is great.

[SPEAKER_02]: So the grape soda don't forget that, I mean.

[SPEAKER_03]: The grape soda is later added.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's I was like great soda.

[SPEAKER_03]: Are you doing insane composty?

[SPEAKER_03]: Because it seems like that's what they are doing here.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's like a thing.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think it'll just pair them.

[SPEAKER_05]: I guess if you go now, it's fake or grape soda.

[SPEAKER_03]: No, but I think it's the grape soda fego, as I think they're taking the same place.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's like an in our little fair enough analogy.

[SPEAKER_03]: But I love the way that this is all played.

[SPEAKER_03]: This is one of the most successful issues that has woven in Transformers, Antergon, G.I.

[SPEAKER_03]: Joe where I didn't feel like I didn't feel the sweat of the work on that.

[SPEAKER_03]: It just felt like a fun story, what they're fighting, these like red back maniacs.

[SPEAKER_03]: And maybe I just identify with the online.

[SPEAKER_02]: I call treadmill.

[SPEAKER_03]: Redneck maniac is almost saying dreadknocks.

[SPEAKER_03]: Can't watch it.

[SPEAKER_05]: God say dreadknock.

[SPEAKER_03]: But also says, you know, the headknock is a weird word.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's not dread.

[SPEAKER_03]: It should be dreadknoths.

[SPEAKER_05]: I agree.

[SPEAKER_05]: Anyways, they they call them very serious.

[SPEAKER_05]: Don't make jokes about this.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, thank you.

[SPEAKER_03]: They dread knocks.

[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I think that you actually, I think you missed when we were talking about the last issue just and I answer questions about what is he called road pig?

[SPEAKER_05]: Is that it?

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah, road pick at the fact that he does he lives in a house most of the time like he's just in that house and he doesn't leave that He doesn't love the road.

[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't love his poor pigs.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's a house pig.

[SPEAKER_03]: You guys are having a house pig another dreadnought [SPEAKER_03]: If I could please in the guy, what was your dreadknock name because Pete you're a roadhead right and Alex you were You were well also That's good guys.

[SPEAKER_03]: Let's see you guys riding in the car.

[SPEAKER_02]: They didn't make ride [SPEAKER_02]: they didn't make the joke in the comic column them read next one they were talking about the dreadnoughts yet yeah um but yeah this was a blast this idea that uh Alex was talking about before or maybe it was just in it's all a fog right now um the we're on the same thing the having kind of Duke and Cobra commander and this kind of thing of like uh [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, you know, I want to try to question this guy.

[SPEAKER_02]: Don't want to murder him.

[SPEAKER_02]: Even though he is the bad guy, it's cool.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's a great kind of a problem for Duke to be in.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's a great use of Duke for this.

[SPEAKER_02]: I also think that like, you know, this is great kind of cober commander of him always kind of slip away and kind of I think this is well used character work here.

[SPEAKER_02]: and I just think the action's great and yeah it's hard because they're like why don't you want to join the dreadnax where all about parting and grape soda and it's hard to hold you with that.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Pete, you could you live in the country.

[SPEAKER_03]: You could be a dreadnought.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you started.

[SPEAKER_05]: You could be a dreadnought number one.

[SPEAKER_05]: Dreadnought commander, if you will.

[SPEAKER_05]: This arc is a absolute blast.

[SPEAKER_05]: I love it.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's one other thing that I want to mention is Tom Riley's art in panel layouts or out of control this issue.

[SPEAKER_05]: In particular, there are pages that have like, [SPEAKER_05]: 30 different paddles all on an angle showing different fights that are going on and you can actually follow them and a lot of that is helped by Jordi bill as airs covers colors excuse me, which are great as always so this is a blast and you can a little bit of you get a one page back matter on road pick showing his design just for the road.

[SPEAKER_03]: the road take guys out.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[SPEAKER_02]: Just wanted to make it's cod piece for it.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: Now it's time to turn from one fight to another with the first of our all fight month titles this week.

[SPEAKER_05]: We've got cyborg versus swamp thing as part of DC KO.

[SPEAKER_05]: This is in Titans number 30 from DC comics written by John Laman art by Pete Woods.

[SPEAKER_05]: you do actually have to read these in a specific order, even though they don't have the dubbers on the cover, which I find a little annoying just to shout out to them.

[SPEAKER_03]: I read these out of order.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_05]: But the thing is that beyond cyborg and swam thing, fighting this issue, you're also getting stuff with the Titans and the ongoing story.

[SPEAKER_05]: And [SPEAKER_05]: Through all the all-fight month stories, there's a thing going where booster gold has revealed himself to be dark side and has taken down the quantum quorum, which is a bunch of time travelers who are trying to keep the DCKO tournament on track, and that's going at terribly wrong.

[SPEAKER_05]: Generally, I think we've liked these fight month stories so far.

[SPEAKER_05]: How'd you feel about the Titans one?

[SPEAKER_02]: yeah this is fun continues to be a blast around having a great time with this uh...

this was cool i thought that like uh...

swamping kind of tapping out and kind of being like a totally obie one yeah he you know he kind of john seen it you know uh...

he tapped out and said to go get him kid i'm done uh...

so interesting uh...

i thought [SPEAKER_02]: I felt like, you know, I had swamp thing winning in my bracket, but I thought it was cool the way swamp thing was like, hey, I'm a little bit more evolved, uh, and above all this fighting, so like, you know, if you want to do this, you know, you got my blessing.

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it makes a lot of sense.

[SPEAKER_03]: Swamp thing never a real hand-to-hand guy when it comes to fighting, not a slap, not a slap, only on a golden ice.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's more of a spores leaking slowly throughout the facility, kind of the guy.

[SPEAKER_03]: And it feels like one of the themes I would track through all of these is [SPEAKER_03]: maybe more like physical fighting.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's like power of like moving shit.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like Aquaman winning is going to be all about just how much he can do.

[SPEAKER_03]: Cyborg gets the big mix suit.

[SPEAKER_03]: So like maybe that's what we're getting at.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's like a villain.

[SPEAKER_03]: It can just be like [SPEAKER_03]: here's how many lasers I can make.

[SPEAKER_03]: But this is, it was those two people, I'm like, whoa, I would never put this right this down as to a fight I wanted to see, but it was interesting to see them be so different and find a way to confront each other and the swamp thing bow, he sort of like, yeah, I got all this stuff to do.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and this was my least favorite of the All-Fight Month titles so far, even frankly, including the one that we're about to talk about as well.

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I mean, I don't know, I think part of it was just an issue of titans, like the thing that I've really been enjoying is the focus from the other issues here where it's literally just this fight, like the entire issue is just this fight.

[SPEAKER_05]: This one jumped around like a regular issue and I don't have a problem with what's going on with the other titans or anything like that, but it, [SPEAKER_05]: it to me it took away a little bit of the specialness of this and maybe part of that is there frankly there's not much of a way that cyborg should be able to beat swap thing who is the entire earth um so they had to this is the one where it sort of felt like you could feel the gears turning a little bit to get the character where it needed to be no pun on cyborg [SPEAKER_03]: and obviously I would have liked to see the other titan stuff more if they if they treated this issue as like a three splash page fight between these two and then it and and that would have been a cool already way to do it and then we just get titans trying to keep the earth going as it slowly turns into apocalypse which is a great story I'm dying to see more of that that would have been one of my preference at the speaking of titans [SPEAKER_02]: the mortal thorn number five all dang and I blew it written by all you being art by myself and what were you talking about I brought thought titans was next but we were talking about titans I blew it [SPEAKER_03]: Wait, I'm sorry.

[SPEAKER_03]: Were you curing up?

[SPEAKER_03]: He thought it was Swan thing versus cyborg.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: And that tides was another kind of sweltering.

[SPEAKER_03]: I was saying to backpied up there, I was confused about that when we were reading these.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I get that.

[SPEAKER_03]: But I was saying, I was like, wow, what a whiff.

[SPEAKER_04]: All right, after Titans, let's talk.

[SPEAKER_04]: Imagine if that, that one, do we just- What was it, Titan?

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, what, what, what did we just like, we did the same comic, like, 30 times the row, instead of new comics, that would be easier.

[SPEAKER_03]: Let me throw this out.

[SPEAKER_03]: What if we had Pete handle all the transitions?

[SPEAKER_03]: Speaking of Titans long pause, a lot of questions, and again, no delays, no delays on this fight.

[SPEAKER_03]: So we keep it going.

[SPEAKER_03]: We keep a chance.

[SPEAKER_03]: I get along.

[SPEAKER_05]: Speaking of Titans, the mortal thorn number five from Marvel by how you are at my pass well, a very after moving back to Asgard, or maybe the Hala in the previous issue.

[SPEAKER_05]: We're now back on Earth, where there's a man named Sigurd Drolson who has a hammer and [SPEAKER_05]: forget it a little bit more from Loki and Odin who are manipulating things in the background and also we have to return of Donald Blake for those who don't remember Donald Blake is now a big villain in the Marvel universe.

[SPEAKER_05]: We get to see a new iteration of him here.

[SPEAKER_05]: I think I was negative.

[SPEAKER_05]: I was the one that was the most negative about the last issue but I'm curious to hear now that we're back to the main storyline.

[SPEAKER_05]: What did you guys think of this one?

[SPEAKER_02]: This was cool.

[SPEAKER_02]: I thought I really appreciated.

[SPEAKER_02]: We got kind of more backstory and a little bit of more of like what's going on with this character and how he got to the place that he's at.

[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like the villain is fun.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, the mayor may not be Thor.

[SPEAKER_02]: I got into a limbo.

[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like a little bit too trusting.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_02]: And I felt bad for Chris there because she seemed like she was really into Thor.

[SPEAKER_03]: um but uh the art on the kind of uh uh villain it has this kind of like mischievous Disney vibe that is fun um so yeah i think you're saying you like it yeah oh i agree i i think Pascal Farie's art is really great here because it's very clean i've always seen him is a very clean very modern feeling but there is such a retro [SPEAKER_03]: vibe to these characters and the way they're talking to each other like Blake in a limo holding this like snake cane.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's so much snake imagery here, which I think is interesting because that's not really, that's more Christian mythology, not really Nordic mythology, but it's such a focus here.

[SPEAKER_03]: My question.

[SPEAKER_03]: Does Thor, does our hammer, our construction worker throw and throw and know he's Thor?

[SPEAKER_05]: I started to suspect that he's not Thor, this issue, that there's going to be some sort of swarve there.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, just he has this in the scene when he's in the limo with Blake.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I love also just to keep blowing it up.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I love that Donald Blake is the villain.

[SPEAKER_03]: And the way the scene between Odin and Loki talking about like, hey, we messed up.

[SPEAKER_03]: We made Thor immortal, but he made his alter ego.

[SPEAKER_03]: We left a vacuum and let him take the Godhead position.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's like, oh, that's awesome.

[SPEAKER_03]: I love that.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's like Bruce Wayne versus Batman, something that we don't really see very often.

[SPEAKER_03]: But there's this scene when Thor, when our...

[SPEAKER_03]: construction worker Thor's in the limo with Blake, and he's like, I'm nobody special.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm nobody important.

[SPEAKER_03]: Nobody special.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just a man.

[SPEAKER_03]: Do you hear me?

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just a man.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, that he must know.

[SPEAKER_03]: To be protesting that much feels like he knows and that's such an interesting layer.

[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_03]: But I also love the horrifying design of Blake is really cool and such a surprise Pascal Ferry never really doing a lot of horror I love the cop scene where they're like, yeah, having a bungee cord in a hammer is very strange.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, yes, agreed [SPEAKER_03]: Guy.

[SPEAKER_05]: I really like this as well.

[SPEAKER_05]: Again, I was kind of negative about the last issue just because I have been enjoying this part of the run so much.

[SPEAKER_05]: It was nice to get back to it.

[SPEAKER_05]: Like you guys said, love Pasquale Ferris art, love the thrust of here.

[SPEAKER_05]: Curious to see how much longer they can maintain this because it feels like it's barreling through the story pretty quickly.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I feel like there's just so much story that I feel like it's more hammering through the story of the barreling, but I hear it.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you can hammer barrels, that's your game.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's classic Cooper.

[SPEAKER_03]: We got a Cooper talking over here.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, hang it with Mr.

Cooper in a lot of ways.

[SPEAKER_05]: Titans, number 30.

[SPEAKER_05]: Now, Wrestle High's number one from Image Comics really drawn by Colonel Stars.

[SPEAKER_05]: this is a brand new series where basically the title there's a wrestler who is injured by the wrestling promoter and years later he decides to pull a heist on the guy we don't really get to see too much of the heist to put into the crew in this first issue but there's still lots of building out of the world and all of the wrestlers there [SPEAKER_05]: And there's a crazy about a backbatter from Kyle Starks that is absolutely wild.

[SPEAKER_05]: And I will mention it's not up yet.

[SPEAKER_05]: It is up, excuse me, for Patreon supporters, Justin and I talked to Kyle Starks for about an hour.

[SPEAKER_05]: Mostly about his vertigo book, but we talked about this a lot.

[SPEAKER_05]: And there's even crazier stuff coming up with this book for everybody else who is in a Patreon supporter.

[SPEAKER_05]: we'll be going up at the regular comic book club feed on Friday so check it out.

[SPEAKER_05]: But I thought this book was great.

[SPEAKER_05]: I love Kyle Stark's stuff anyway.

[SPEAKER_05]: But have it him writing and drawing, which has been rare for the past couple of years as he delight.

[SPEAKER_05]: So I'll read anything he does.

[SPEAKER_03]: The two big things to take away from this, from talking to Kyle specifically is, the insane amount of time and ever he puts it at the back matter, you have, if you're at all a wrestling fan, he has interviews, questionnaires that he sent to, a ton of people in the comic book industry and beyond, to get their favorite wrestler takes, which is like wild to have that be, just two pages of that in the back of his comic, and he's like, oh, there's so much more of that to see in here.

[SPEAKER_03]: And then we talked about him, [SPEAKER_03]: Talk to Kyle about how he puts this together, and he just sort of goes cold.

[SPEAKER_03]: He creates this comic through, I think he said he does thumbnails first, and then goes right into drawing it, never writes a script.

[SPEAKER_03]: What?

[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like I've never heard of doing it.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think people do thumbnails.

[SPEAKER_03]: Most people, I think, do script first.

[SPEAKER_03]: Some people do thumbnails, then script.

[SPEAKER_05]: Kind of dispenses with all that those words and just goes Yeah, I did this is for his stuff when he's doing something he dropped their people He's much more locked up there, but yeah, it's kind of like Almost improvised comics and that use comedy field plays so well like there's so much really strong the jokes are so dense and constant It's a blast [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is awesome.

[SPEAKER_02]: I had a blast reading this.

[SPEAKER_02]: I love the set-up, the kind of the story that we get, the backstory of why he wants to rob this place.

[SPEAKER_02]: And what it's about is great.

[SPEAKER_02]: Really builds nicely.

[SPEAKER_02]: The art has such a fun vibe to it.

[SPEAKER_02]: So it's like, it adds such a nice sprinkling of lightness to all the kind of insanity that's happening.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is just a great five fun first issue.

[SPEAKER_02]: Get you on board with what's going on and get you excited for more.

[SPEAKER_05]: Next up, D.C.

K.O.

[SPEAKER_05]: is a 10 of versus Harley Quinn number one from D.C.

Comics, written by Leo Williams, art by Mirka Andalpha.

[SPEAKER_05]: This is the second all-thight month title we're going to be talking about.

[SPEAKER_05]: And this one, to me, was more like it.

[SPEAKER_05]: This is more of what I've come to expect from this mini event inside the event.

[SPEAKER_05]: First of all, you got Mirka Andalpha on art and great.

[SPEAKER_05]: Always great to see her.

[SPEAKER_05]: I really like her art style.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's like Cartoonie, but it leans.

[SPEAKER_05]: into these characters in particular so well, but she also morphs her arch style throughout the book to match the different part of the best two out of three rounds that are going on in this fight between Zetana and Harley.

[SPEAKER_05]: Surprisingly, there's the second one of the week where [SPEAKER_05]: After Swamp Thing is like, let me die here as spoilers, and I should have mentioned spoiler worded before, Harley kind of does the same thing, and that to me was a big surprise because I think just given publishing outside plans, you would expect Harley to go the distance, but I like how they came to round to it.

[SPEAKER_05]: I thought this was well plotted and was a interesting [SPEAKER_05]: exploration of Zetana even more than Harley Quinn because Harley is very even throughout Wells Zetana grows in cause places.

[SPEAKER_05]: So in my mind, another successful one shot.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I agree this is a blast of fun cover.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I liked how in the first one, Harley outsmarted to Tanda, you know, took away her vocal cords so she couldn't use magic very smart, very cool.

[SPEAKER_02]: I liked how this evolved and the fight moved on.

[SPEAKER_02]: This, I love the pace of this, the art was amazing.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this was awesome.

[SPEAKER_02]: This is DCKO, like having a lot of fun and exploring characters during a giant battle.

[SPEAKER_03]: uh...

yeah uh...

uh...

i love the satan winds and really setting up i agree with all of what you're saying before and really setting up is a tenet to be a power player like what i think is nice about these each of these issues even like the cyborgs one thing one which didn't really have as much juice to it [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like it is setting up all of these characters to have a real drive forward.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like Zetana's ready.

[SPEAKER_03]: You can feel the Omega coursing through her on the last page of this story.

[SPEAKER_03]: And that's exciting.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think that's the hype that they keep doing a great job building.

[SPEAKER_03]: Just want to say about the design two of these books across the plane.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like the way they do the chaos as big, splash video game style chaos, every ocean no matter what's happening.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's really smart.

[SPEAKER_03]: Good.

[SPEAKER_03]: Good editor will work there.

[SPEAKER_05]: Daredevil in the Punisher.

[SPEAKER_05]: The devil's trigger number two from Marvel written by Jimmy Pamiati art by Tomasso Bianchi and Gabriel Guzman.

[SPEAKER_05]: This is a follow-up on the one-bad day conversation.

[SPEAKER_05]: And here we flipped the perspective a little more to Daredevil after he had been pushed.

[SPEAKER_05]: hard by the Punisher to potentially kill people or be blamed in killing people and after a hard day, Punisher heads to the subway, which turns out to be a mistake.

[SPEAKER_05]: Just like Pete, he gets a meatball sub and it just does not sit right with period.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Pete, this must have been as someone, you must be terrified of New York from reading this, but I assure you this doesn't happen as often as it does in this comment.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, if you were to ever come to this New York City where Alex and I tough it out every day.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, congratulations on still being there, you know, I did my 20 year bid.

[SPEAKER_02]: I felt good about it.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I thought this was a lot of fun and cool and a great kind of heightening of what happened in the last issue in this exploration of these two characters and [SPEAKER_02]: What, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, but now the TV show became this kind of iconic moment that I felt, uh, okay.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: So the generally speaking, you would say TV is better than comics.

[SPEAKER_05]: No, no, I'm just coming.

[SPEAKER_05]: Comics get washed away by TV shows, TV shows, or I'm the guy who always wants them to put comics in the Marvel Flip.

[SPEAKER_04]: I know.

[SPEAKER_04]: So it's crazy to me that you're calling out a comic moment in the comic books with their devil and [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying, it kind of made popularized by the TV show and became a, I don't know, sorry, sorry for trying to update my lexicon and mid-sense apology.

[SPEAKER_02]: Can't surprise.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, comics are great, but sometimes they can be done differently and brought to life in different ways.

[SPEAKER_02]: But then brought back to the comic for a continuation of the discussion like in this issue and I appreciated that.

[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, and on a similar note, I think they really captured Thomas James character in this one.

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh my god.

[SPEAKER_05]: Dirty line for ever.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know who's doing bearing what's standard here.

[SPEAKER_05]: I like to mention something and not apropel of this.

[SPEAKER_05]: This is a very old fact that I think people who don't for years, but I just learned it this past week.

[SPEAKER_05]: Apparently Thomas Jane was the first choice for Rick Grimes on the walking dead, but he couldn't do it because he was doing, what was the show we had a big penis hung?

[SPEAKER_05]: We were used to hang.

[SPEAKER_05]: So he did hung instead of the walking dead [SPEAKER_05]: Anyway, God, wow.

[SPEAKER_03]: What a world we live in.

[SPEAKER_03]: The great foggy scene, foggy overorders, let me be honest a little bit here.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, whoa, whoa.

[SPEAKER_03]: New that was appropriate.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_03]: I really like this.

[SPEAKER_03]: Comic, I really love it's such a New Yorker thing to do to be like [SPEAKER_03]: I'm super fucked up, but I got to get home, so I'm gonna jump on this subway.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yep, the bottom of your cell is like bleeding, he's like jagged up, and he's like, I better just jump on the hell, yeah, faster, yeah, it is, believe me, faster, you know, not as expensive with the way prices taxy prices taxy is like, taxy is like, I don't know if I think, it's like a horse, but you, [SPEAKER_05]: you like you you pay it's an automated horse just in a 70 also is in the York City do you feel like they neglected the scene where he traded in his old metro card for Omni card because as we all know at this point there are three weeks left to use the metro card before he can't use it anymore.

[SPEAKER_03]: Why?

[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like the Punisher has a couple of tokens in his account.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's so cool.

[SPEAKER_05]: I'll tell you what.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's crazy.

[SPEAKER_05]: Like, I think about that sometimes.

[SPEAKER_05]: And I think about how, like, I used to have, like, a pocket full of some way tokens.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: I'll walk around with and all points.

[SPEAKER_05]: That's it.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's correct.

[SPEAKER_03]: I never lived in this city when you had that.

[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like a dead chest end is what I want to do.

[SPEAKER_03]: Right?

[SPEAKER_03]: When did that end?

[SPEAKER_03]: Because I never had to do that.

[SPEAKER_02]: It was still in 99.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's for sure.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, I was I don't know.

[SPEAKER_05]: It was definitely in the 2000s for sure.

[SPEAKER_05]: They switched over to Metro cards, but like yeah, I mean, I remember there was definitely a point when like maybe with summers or something that I was living in the city Where it was just like in your pocket full jangling with tokens all the time.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, you're a little short shorts heading out on the downtown Yeah, and it's a central part.

[SPEAKER_03]: I know you guys [SPEAKER_03]: I know you guys.

[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, I like this comic.

[SPEAKER_03]: It is very New York.

[SPEAKER_03]: They are taking time to really hit the subways and pay homage to them.

[SPEAKER_03]: So that's nice.

[SPEAKER_03]: Especially that Daredevil being like, oh, should I just run into the punishment of the subways?

[SPEAKER_03]: And there.

[SPEAKER_03]: I bet ran into my personal punishment from the subways.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, it's always fun when you run into someone you don't want to see in the subway Uh, at first I thought it was going to be hilarious where like the Punisher was like bleeding out and then show time was happening We'd have to be like, you know, a part that's baiting a joke.

[SPEAKER_05]: I have like, as yeah It was like, I'll just be a bit of a scene where the Punisher's waiting on the platform and then Daredevil walks in and he's like one card down from and he's like [SPEAKER_05]: Oh no, he knows I'm here.

[SPEAKER_05]: I know he's here.

[SPEAKER_05]: We got to say hi.

[SPEAKER_02]: He looks like he's been shot.

[SPEAKER_02]: I have to go say hi to him because he can't come to me.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, dare devil just put headphones in and ignores him.

[SPEAKER_03]: The headphones are really loud because he's so sensitive to hearing stuff.

[SPEAKER_05]: He's like, you're really trying to sell away from being me something like that.

[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_03]: The screeching from the subway must be very hard for our guy.

[SPEAKER_03]: That must be brutal.

[SPEAKER_05]: We're all tree number 17 from image comics written by James time in the fourth art by for non-dominal.

[SPEAKER_05]: The past couple of issues have been set in the post-apocalyptic future after a world tree.

[SPEAKER_05]: The internet has invaded the real world.

[SPEAKER_05]: But now we're jumping back in time back to the mean story before all this has happened as well as getting some revelations.

[SPEAKER_05]: I'll tell you what, there's a lot going on in this book.

[SPEAKER_03]: There is like going on.

[SPEAKER_03]: I do like it still and honestly at reading this issue.

[SPEAKER_03]: I was like oh this book is sort of like halfway between the the movie sneakers If you know that and and just the what did it sound like oh yes, of course, Whistler.

[SPEAKER_03]: You talk about that.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah [SPEAKER_05]: uh...

and alica i i really like i really like it but they're i'm the time lines are hard to quite square the who was at which characters are all sliding together you know yeah well particularly because this part of the story has been way for months if dot maybe a year i honestly don't know with the schedule at this point so jumping back in they're like yeah you know all of these thirty characters here we go which is which is stuff it's a tough for you [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, so I didn't have a finished department of truth is the coming.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's like sneakers meets department of truth for the internet and that's what world trees feeling like but the Yeah, I want the story to coalesce a little harder [SPEAKER_02]: That's a great combo though.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is cool.

[SPEAKER_02]: I love the art.

[SPEAKER_02]: Some fun kind of flash forward, flash back.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, two people talking on a bench, you know, love the art style.

[SPEAKER_02]: I thought the last panel was fun, but it's a weird tone, but it works perfect for this story.

[SPEAKER_05]: Wonder Woman number 28 from DC Comics written by Tom King, Art by Daniel Sim, Perry and Jorge for a nays.

[SPEAKER_05]: But just have to go on in this issue as we wrap up the mouseman arc while teeing the upcoming Wonder War, which is going to find Wonder Woman and others against the matriarch.

[SPEAKER_05]: We've already seen a dark future where the matriarch is very much one.

[SPEAKER_05]: And that, I believe this for Hay foreign aces part in this issue is watching the Baytree Rark take down all the village that Wonder Woman never could.

[SPEAKER_05]: While Wonder Woman meanwhile is triumphant against mouse man, this title continues to be excellently written and drawn and I'm very much looking forward to Wonder Woman.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, really seamlessly connects the end of this arc with the beginning of the next.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like you just [SPEAKER_03]: Don't even realize you're already in the, the matriarch stuff happening right after this.

[SPEAKER_03]: I love the way that she completely, I want to own completely subborns, Mausman, where he's like, using his language, he now only speaks Wonder Woman, which is cool, Wonder Woman knows is his last line that we see him here.

[SPEAKER_03]: Love that, enjoy the analogy of all of that, [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is a blast.

[SPEAKER_02]: I agree with everything that's been said.

[SPEAKER_02]: This has been really enjoyable watching this kind of wind down.

[SPEAKER_02]: Also fun that the Wonder Woman just has a baby now.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_02]: She's like, yeah, I got a baby Batman Superman like back off.

[SPEAKER_02]: Don't judge me.

[SPEAKER_02]: I've got a kid now and they're like, oh, I don't know what's going on.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, this is great.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm very excited for the next arc and hopefully she can take down nature, but looks like she's going to be tough.

[SPEAKER_03]: Great use of the invisible jet here.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, I was going to bring that up had just seeing like the her top part of her torso just sort of floating there in the air very fun.

[SPEAKER_05]: Streamstales, number three from Marvel Written by Jeremy Whitley, art by Belly Underwood.

[SPEAKER_05]: This is a book that is slowly building up a D&D style role playing game team, a sort of the idea behind here.

[SPEAKER_05]: but in practicality we got the Hulk attacking Wakanda and a bunch of weird random heroes trying to figure out what is wrong with him.

[SPEAKER_05]: This title continues to be absolutely delightful.

[SPEAKER_05]: The whole mix of characters is so weird but it works.

[SPEAKER_05]: Everything is well balanced with everybody and the art by belly underwood is very cartoony and a lot of fun as well.

[SPEAKER_05]: This is a great book to hand to absolutely anybody.

[SPEAKER_03]: To have like surey hulk want a maximum of niko and the staff one like this is all Really operating and you know as I was reading this house like why am I enjoying this so much?

[SPEAKER_03]: And I was like I know why this feels like a classic 90s annual crossover This is the Fabranium Vendetta in series four like all these random characters like hey, we're here to do this one thing [SPEAKER_03]: Do you?

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I know you from my bumped into you once.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like I love it.

[SPEAKER_03]: I love the tone is really hitting that the way they beat the Hulk in this is really smart and really fun surprising.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm so on board with this [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is great.

[SPEAKER_02]: I also love the team work.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_02]: Like a lot of times when you're reading a comic, they got a fun idea about the three of us reviewing these comics.

[SPEAKER_03]: No, did you meet them in the comic?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yep, but we're working together pretty well.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's our 19th anniversary.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, happy anniversary.

[SPEAKER_02]: Happy out of it.

[SPEAKER_02]: What did you get me?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's ironically, it's the comic book universe in the 19th year.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wow.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I just, I love it when people work well together, and you can just really feed.

[SPEAKER_03]: You like people really working well together, getting along, not throwing any curveballs at each other.

[SPEAKER_05]: That's right.

[SPEAKER_05]: Interrupting each other and whatnot.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, don't like it.

[SPEAKER_05]: What I'm trying to say.

[SPEAKER_03]: I like how there are no delays between you.

[SPEAKER_03]: No delays.

[SPEAKER_03]: They just really concise moving, you know?

[SPEAKER_05]: They should put that on the cover.

[SPEAKER_05]: No delay is this issue.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: That should be the name.

[SPEAKER_03]: No delays.

[SPEAKER_03]: Number three.

[SPEAKER_02]: The yard head.

[SPEAKER_02]: The yard head such a great vibe to it.

[SPEAKER_02]: It was light and fun.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's a little cuter than I like my Hulk, but I thought it worked really well.

[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of fun.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, just I had a blast with this and I agree.

[SPEAKER_02]: This was an awesome read.

[SPEAKER_05]: The author of mortal number three from if it comes from my Frank J.

Barbieri art by Morgan of Beam.

[SPEAKER_05]: We talked to Frank on the live show a couple of weeks back.

[SPEAKER_05]: So go and listen to that.

[SPEAKER_05]: But Pete, you've been really enjoying this one.

[SPEAKER_05]: You were pretty high on this issue, which finds our main author character in the Thrall of a horrible spider creature that we see on.

[SPEAKER_05]: the cover of this issue meanwhile his child is trying to find him and also an older version of his child is trying to find him meanwhile back on earth.

[SPEAKER_05]: Our JK Rowling stand-in is making some moves of her own.

[SPEAKER_05]: What are you enjoying about this so much, Pete?

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, first off, the cover is so scary and creepy, um, I thought like no way I got a shot and enjoying this, but I really did.

[SPEAKER_02]: I thought the comics, uh, art, such a cool tone, uh, art was just so impressive.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm a sucker for watercolors.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's scary.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's beautiful.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's all the things, uh, but a really creative story.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm having a blast with this.

[SPEAKER_02]: I was just so pleasantly surprised.

[SPEAKER_02]: I looked at the cover and thought off fuck.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not gonna like this because spiders here.

[SPEAKER_02]: The fuck out of me.

[SPEAKER_02]: And this is all the spider person.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah imagine a spider a man.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's disgusting.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: That'd be hard.

[SPEAKER_05]: What colors do you think a spider mad would be?

[SPEAKER_05]: I would say probably black.

[SPEAKER_05]: It would be crazy.

[SPEAKER_05]: It would be crazy.

[SPEAKER_05]: Brown.

[SPEAKER_05]: Something like that.

[SPEAKER_03]: Whispy and white.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like, you know, a web.

[SPEAKER_03]: The Kai is the comic-style listening to us right now.

[SPEAKER_03]: I love him with this if you're a fan.

[SPEAKER_03]: I love him with this if you're a fan.

[SPEAKER_03]: I love him with this if you're a fan.

[SPEAKER_03]: I love him with this if you're a fan.

[SPEAKER_03]: I love him with this if you're a fan.

[SPEAKER_05]: I love him with this if you're a fan.

[SPEAKER_05]: I love him with this if you're a fan.

[SPEAKER_05]: I love him with this if you're a fan.

[SPEAKER_05]: I love him with this if you're a fan.

[SPEAKER_05]: I love him with this if you're a fan.

[SPEAKER_05]: I love him with this if you're a fan.

[SPEAKER_05]: I love him with this if you're a fan.

[SPEAKER_05]: I love him with this if you're a fan.

[SPEAKER_05]: I love him with this if you're a fan.

[SPEAKER_05]: I love him with this if you're a fan.

[SPEAKER_05]: I love him with this if you're a fan.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you give your partner two gold.

[SPEAKER_03]: You offer like a tie to pay to do it at right then.

[SPEAKER_05]: Take your way, Justin.

[SPEAKER_03]: It is crazy, they're like, would you get your wife a wood present this year?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it might wood.

[SPEAKER_03]: Overall gonna make a boat.

[SPEAKER_03]: Sorry, it's not that time anymore, holiday.

[SPEAKER_03]: Let's change this.

[SPEAKER_03]: Can we change this?

[SPEAKER_03]: Where's the lotion one?

[SPEAKER_03]: Can we get lotion as one of them?

[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, I'll save that for my, uh, take five minutes.

[SPEAKER_03]: The, this comic book, um, I enjoy, and the, I was going to say, I want a gift card for lotion.

[SPEAKER_03]: If you're a fan of the comics, fables or books of magic from back in the day, you should give this a shot because this comic, both in the writing and the art is very much in that line.

[SPEAKER_03]: But it's modern, it's smart.

[SPEAKER_03]: The characters are really engaging.

[SPEAKER_03]: The action is terrifying throughout.

[SPEAKER_03]: And moves very quickly, I think, especially for a third issue, we're going so far, so fast in a good way.

[SPEAKER_05]: And it turns out both the traditional and modern gift for the 19th anniversary is bronze.

[SPEAKER_05]: So I got you a comic book that is inspired by the bronze age of comics.

[SPEAKER_05]: Superman, the Kryptonite Spectra, but it's pretty good.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's pretty good.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's written by W.

Maxwell Pritz, art by Martín Morazo.

[SPEAKER_05]: This is the final issue of this title, which is found Superman dealing with a bunch of weird types of Kryptonite.

[SPEAKER_05]: Lex Luther don't care, though, and he's using the opportunity to attack Superman and Metropolis and the world, but it all comes together here in this finale of what you guys think.

[SPEAKER_05]: What you guys think about the end and the series is a whole.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, first off, really fun cover.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I thought this was really fun.

[SPEAKER_02]: A cool idea, really well executed by this team.

[SPEAKER_02]: We know them from ice cream man.

[SPEAKER_02]: So it's cool to see them do something that's not as creepy, but it's fun to see a little creepy brought to the Spider-Man world.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, artistically, this is impressive.

[SPEAKER_02]: Also, fun kind of like classic, how are we gonna go to this?

[SPEAKER_02]: well, we'll have to turn them into a baby.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's how you save them.

[SPEAKER_02]: You just baby if I am.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's funny how Wonder Woman just got a baby and now Superman turned into a baby.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_03]: but I like that I think this this comic does just a great job of being so I mean you said bronze age Alex but like silver age feels like maybe more more what you meant yes upon the side wordplay aside the art is reflected that marty marazzo's art is so so perfect reflect modern reflection of that having a little bit more dark underpinnings to it [SPEAKER_03]: Some more modern things.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's some great just little jokes in here at the same time telling a really compelling story about Superman Action sequence this covers very cool if no one else had the balls to say it.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'll say it I love the use of Batman in this comic as well Just a great as a five-issue series.

[SPEAKER_03]: What a great pick-up.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes [SPEAKER_05]: Alien vs.

Captain America number two from Marvel Written by Frank Teary, art by Stefano Arafa Yel, while last issue was a slow bird of introducing the concept of aliens.

[SPEAKER_05]: This issue, the Hallean Commanders, get completely ripped apart by the sea no more.

[SPEAKER_05]: Among other weird things going on here, so I will say the last issue, I was like, I'm surprised Frank Teary is being so restrained.

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, he was [SPEAKER_05]: He's right up in the back here he's frank it up he's frank and beans in this issue Pete up surprised to see you cheering for the death of the howling commandos.

[SPEAKER_05]: I I think it's better for you to be pissed about that [SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, I was.

[SPEAKER_02]: It was a real, uh, most roller coaster.

[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I was like no, but then once I saw a cap, you know, ripping that or cutting that head off an alien with his shield, I was like, well, I got what I wanted.

[SPEAKER_02]: This is awesome.

[SPEAKER_02]: So, uh, yes, the real ups and downs, but man, this is, uh, tons of action, uh, fun twists and turns, um, [SPEAKER_02]: Bucky, you can't just go around touching people.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_02]: Consumton is important.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, did not expect you to end your review with that sentiment?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I agree.

[SPEAKER_03]: This is great, actually.

[SPEAKER_03]: I was fully shocked to see the Helen Commanders go down to them.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: So that was cool to be surprised by that.

[SPEAKER_03]: And then the turn it takes in this sort of last four pages bringing in another area of marble continuity.

[SPEAKER_03]: also shocked by.

[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, Frank Teary surprising the multiple times in this comic, this comic is taking swings that it doesn't need to take, which is an exciting place for something that is like just a crossover alien and superhero comic.

[SPEAKER_05]: The power fantasy number 14 from image comics written by Kieran Gillin, art by Casper, Windgard, things have been really heating up here in this title for the past couple of the issues leading to the death of a major character in the previous issue.

[SPEAKER_05]: And now we're dealing with the fallout in a big way.

[SPEAKER_05]: We've said this a million times here about this title.

[SPEAKER_05]: But this team builds tension like no other.

[SPEAKER_05]: And while a lot of this issue is [SPEAKER_05]: like I'm saying dealing with this repercussions of the death of at the end who is our professor ex stand in for this sort of pseudo-ex men in this world.

[SPEAKER_05]: The last couple of pages are so tense and there are nothing but a person's face at a couple of words on the page.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's perfectly paced out.

[SPEAKER_05]: There's really nothing like this on the stands.

[SPEAKER_03]: For a comic that I think thrives on its density, the way they just stretched out this moment in the back six pages of this was such a fun tone change or pace change for something that I just didn't expect it here.

[SPEAKER_03]: I thought it was really, really well done.

[SPEAKER_03]: We talked to these guys, I wanna say, last year.

[SPEAKER_03]: year at New York Comic-Con was it Alex?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah and I felt their joy and their meticulousness on display together and this is your issue particularly because they're so careful and they are so excited about talking about this story and how they work together I think allows us to have these moments [SPEAKER_02]: yeah i mean i'm running out of ways to say this comic is really cool and interesting and exciting and great uh...

but it is those things and the art is unbelievable uh...

i'm not sure what's happening all the time but uh...

i know it's good [SPEAKER_02]: just like reality.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, deep, bro.

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, let's see if you understand what's going on here in Superman, a limited number 8 from TC Comics written by Dan Slot and a Jeremy Adams art by Lucas Meyer.

[SPEAKER_05]: And this issue per the cover, Superman is dealing with Guy Gardner a little bit.

[SPEAKER_05]: There's some other stuff going on in the world, there you go.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, sick bulk cut.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is fun.

[SPEAKER_02]: They're having a great time with Toy Man and Guy Gardner here.

[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like this is really a solid, some cute moments between Lewis and Supes.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, there's some nice relationships stuff here.

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's reading this is such a sort of pace change from all of the DC continuity stuff, the all-in stuff.

[SPEAKER_03]: everything's happening with KO.

[SPEAKER_03]: So it definitely requires a mental gear shift that diving into this, but that's what the title is.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's Superman unlimited.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's out of continuity, even though it still has the all in branding.

[SPEAKER_03]: But it's, it is, it is fun.

[SPEAKER_03]: Guy Gardner, they interact surprisingly very little in this coming, but we get a lot of each of their vibes throughout.

[SPEAKER_05]: This to me, he felt a little bit more like Dan Slot doing a fantastic four plot over in Superman, which is fine.

[SPEAKER_05]: It is also interesting, although to see Dan who is great.

[SPEAKER_05]: I love him.

[SPEAKER_05]: He is not even he admits this not the fastest guy when it comes to writing.

[SPEAKER_05]: And Christopher's gauge was kind of his pitch eater would who would come in and help him out when he was running a little bit behind.

[SPEAKER_05]: Seems like Jeremy Adams, baby, is going to fill that slot over EDC.

[SPEAKER_06]: Good slot.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and I think that's a good notch.

[SPEAKER_05]: Like they have similar tones.

[SPEAKER_05]: So that's good.

[SPEAKER_05]: So yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: Next up, Planet She-Hulk number two from Marvel written by Stephanie Phillips, art by Aaron Kooter.

[SPEAKER_05]: She-Hulk is stuck on Sakaar, which is having a succession battle to see who is going to rule the planet.

[SPEAKER_05]: The one person who doesn't really want to rule the planet, but his kind of a charge is she-Hulk.

[SPEAKER_05]: Meanwhile, others are jockeying for control.

[SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to be very repetitive for this title, but I always say it.

[SPEAKER_05]: I'll read anything that Aaron Kooter draws.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, love Aaron Cooter's art here.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's a great, just fight sequence where we get to see she haul her, we get to hear her internal monologue, she's fighting someone who, she clearly likes and is like, wants to be close with.

[SPEAKER_03]: But I loving the tone, like the original planet Hulk was like Hulk Barbarian meeting Barbarian world.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so it's all about the power magnification of that.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I just love the twist with this of she-hulk being like, this world is dumb.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I want to undercut it.

[SPEAKER_03]: And we want to do the right thing because I want to fix it and not just punch it.

[SPEAKER_03]: And that's such a, and I'm not slagging off the original plan to hook it all when I say this is such a great second beat to what planet Hulk did.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I am so on board with this is one of the titles I'm most excited about as we move into the news.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I agree.

[SPEAKER_02]: This is a fun what she hopes take on this.

[SPEAKER_02]: We got kind of this cool fish out of water story and her kind of how she deals with this planet is such a fun thing that I have not and gotten tired of at all and I can't wait for more of this Stephanie Phillips is doing a hell of a job writing this.

[SPEAKER_02]: this is just great but arts fantastic the pace of this is great um yeah I'm I'm having so much fun with this and I can't wait for the next issue.

[SPEAKER_05]: Artificial number four from image comics written in drawn by Maria Levitt.

[SPEAKER_05]: This is the last issue of this title about a sex bot.

[SPEAKER_05]: It was a little crazy with the roleplay.

[SPEAKER_05]: And this issue, he comes back to our heroine's apartment and proceeds to assault her and beat up the guy who was her ex-boyfriend, I believe, and now is still interested in her.

[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: I thought that like a lot of love and stuff, this started strong and then got slightly off the rails by the end here in a way where it kind of undercuts the satirical and fun concept that she started with.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, you know, I get that deep.

[SPEAKER_03]: But I actually, I took it the other way.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like I felt like this was a great, I really liked this, and it was very upsetting, like what happens in this story, like a type of a sort of AI driven assault that the human characters in this are unable to really know how to react to.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I like that as a metaphor for like our lives.

[SPEAKER_03]: But I especially liked it because Maria Levitt's sort of reputation or the expectation to get when you open this book is you're going to read something that is like a bit of a sexual rom story.

[SPEAKER_03]: And with a twist with a sci-fi fantasy comic book twist.

[SPEAKER_03]: This, like, unsettles that, this goes against that, this, like, with that expectation is, is savage and used to sort of point out and how wrong you are and give power to what happens in this story.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I thought that was just such an effective and bold use of, of real evidence of reputation to tell a story that is very different than that.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, the classic tells all this time, you know, terminator warned us, you know, you can't fuck robots, you know, a robot's they're going to fuck us, uh, so, uh, you know, it's, uh, wait, sorry, is that, is this a philosophy written down anywhere, P?

[SPEAKER_02]: No, I've just seen Terminator, you know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_02]: I know how it goes, you know, you can't trust a robot, even if you were.

[SPEAKER_05]: He's absolutely right.

[SPEAKER_05]: That was the message of the first movie.

[SPEAKER_05]: They skipped a little bit on the second, but the third one is called Terminator, Rise of the Machines, I mean, come on.

[SPEAKER_03]: Come on.

[SPEAKER_03]: It makes it all right there.

[SPEAKER_03]: I remember Arnold Schwarzenegger said, Robert over again, don't fuck me.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: He kept saying, don't fuck me.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he did.

[SPEAKER_03]: But he meant it for real.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: Um, yeah, I mean, you know, this one, uh, horrible moments with the assault, but, um, you know, uh, I was happy that I could, you could read this one in public a little bit more, so that was nice.

[SPEAKER_02]: The art, the art is ironic, take aren't as great.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, interesting.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, art is always great.

[SPEAKER_05]: Always will read anything Maria Love does, but we are clearly at an impasse with this fight we're having over this comic book.

[SPEAKER_05]: This is a big fight.

[SPEAKER_05]: No delays.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: Spacecouts.

[SPEAKER_05]: Number two from Dark Horse Cobbix, run by Matt Kin, art by David Rubin.

[SPEAKER_05]: We are following a bunch of folks who are auditioning to become the next spacecouts, but there's a big twist in terms of what the whole program is about.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's not really signing out to be the next card.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's the galaxy.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's something else entirely which we find out towards the end here.

[SPEAKER_05]: Pete, I believe this was one of your picks for the next one.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think about the same picks.

[SPEAKER_02]: Just really enjoying this.

[SPEAKER_02]: Love the action.

[SPEAKER_02]: Korky Art has a fun tone to it.

[SPEAKER_02]: It kind of sets up this crazy alien world.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you know, the battle to be spaced out here is real.

[SPEAKER_02]: you know all they need is just a year of your time you know like but what if they say no you know they mean like what happens and so yeah I'm into this it's great you know it's uh you give your your job you know your life and they just keep taking and taking and taking you know so uh I think this is an interesting idea and really well executed very creative and and you [SPEAKER_03]: Pup, pup, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, pp, p [SPEAKER_03]: And then the sort of dark underbelly that is exposed in the back half, I thought was really cool and well done.

[SPEAKER_03]: This reminds me of, you know, something like, when I start ship troopers, when I'm getting a big comment on society per se, but it has that thing of being like, [SPEAKER_05]: And now it is time, the revelation will continue until tomorrow improves, uh, we are getting it.

[SPEAKER_01]: This is a big one.

[SPEAKER_05]: This is a big block.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, we are at our age and revelation block.

[SPEAKER_05]: We got five titles to talk about this week now, Justin.

[SPEAKER_05]: What I was thinking about mainly while I was reading these is you say last week and that's it then they're finishing it up next week and I was like nope there's more and guess what there's even more after this there's an entire other week with even more new titles before then finally we get to the end of the eight of the week yeah what are the other ones do we have more through this background because I looked at the back of the issue like they're kept possibly [SPEAKER_05]: It's great news for you guys.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you're right.

[SPEAKER_03]: I will say you're right, Pete.

[SPEAKER_03]: You are right.

[SPEAKER_03]: The way we'll say the ones that are coming next, our cloak or dagger is one you do, like I said it for us.

[SPEAKER_03]: But the it does end on New Year's Eve is the one when they're not releasing it.

[SPEAKER_05]: It shops until midday, not New Year's Eve.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like you have to be there.

[SPEAKER_05]: They handed over.

[SPEAKER_05]: They go 10, 9, 8, and they're slowly handing it over the counter to you.

[SPEAKER_03]: I can't wait to kiss the Marvel Comics employee on the mouth when they hand me this Oh wow [SPEAKER_05]: Anyway, we do have some age of revelation titles to talk about, so let's start with the big kids.

[SPEAKER_05]: And these are all final issues of these particular three-ish committee series.

[SPEAKER_05]: A bigger kid's number three written by Tony Fleece, Art by Andre Gennelett.

[SPEAKER_05]: This has been following a team of psychic mutants taught, ostensibly, by Quentin Choir, except they've been manipulating him and have decided to eliminate anybody who has bad thoughts about [SPEAKER_05]: As it's clarified, and this issue is literally everybody and things get turned by the end here.

[SPEAKER_05]: And even though it sounded like we were very negative about age of revelation, probably because we are, this is definitely one of the better titles.

[SPEAKER_05]: And I thought the boys wrapped up really dialed down on Quentin Quires character.

[SPEAKER_05]: It a fun, surprising way was great.

[SPEAKER_05]: I, this mini series was very good.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I agree.

[SPEAKER_03]: This one was good.

[SPEAKER_03]: And, you know, the best ones of these and there are a couple in this stack that we're going to talk about.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think just go dark.

[SPEAKER_03]: They make it feel very age of apocalypse, E.

And this one definitely did that.

[SPEAKER_03]: The way this goes went last issue into this issue.

[SPEAKER_03]: and you feel like we're riding with the kids, even though they're doing something pretty fucked up.

[SPEAKER_03]: And then something fucked up happens to them in the end.

[SPEAKER_03]: I was like, whoo, this is back to back bummers, but really well done, I thought.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I also thought this was enjoyable.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's nice to spend this kind of quality time of quitting choir, you know, he's a handful of usual, but I thought this was, he's a handful.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's a scammer.

[SPEAKER_02]: Boy, you see.

[SPEAKER_05]: But are you on Quentin choir duty this weekend, Pete?

[SPEAKER_05]: Or is that Justin?

[SPEAKER_05]: That's Justin.

[SPEAKER_05]: I had last week, yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm dying his beard purple.

[SPEAKER_03]: I thought he was, but I hear you [SPEAKER_02]: as Justin likes to say to his wife, we're going to need a new batch of kids, you know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, great art, cool story.

[SPEAKER_02]: That line where he's like, we're going to need a new batch of kids.

[SPEAKER_02]: You say that all the time.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's not the part.

[SPEAKER_03]: I do say that a lot.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's like sort of my kids phrase.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's a lot more kids.

[SPEAKER_03]: I want more kids.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, uh, yeah, Tony Feliz killed in the game.

[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, it's this kind of evil Iliana is very interesting.

[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, so yeah, uh, you got to be Tony Feliz and give me.

[SPEAKER_03]: There it is.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, also just a clarify for anybody listening.

[SPEAKER_05]: It is not Iliana.

[SPEAKER_05]: She just looks just similar haircut.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, she is banks.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you're telling me there's another bang to character, you see?

[SPEAKER_05]: She's a possible to me.

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, store number three written by Roaston.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yodale Art by Roland Bosky.

[SPEAKER_05]: This is following two timelines.

[SPEAKER_05]: One where rogue red is confronting storm, whose powers are out of control.

[SPEAKER_05]: And then years later, X years later, one might even say when storm is dealing.

[SPEAKER_05]: Don't you starve mystical.

[SPEAKER_05]: uh...

god like things going on as usual by you know they goes for it in this issue uh...

with some absolutely wild stuff the strongest clearest thing to me was probably the gambit root stuff which continues to hit after unbreakable x-men i want to say last week yeah just a great relationship with [SPEAKER_03]: Well, this is where the Gambit and a different rogue, technically, so that's also well done.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, I think you know that with, like, you're the lay out, going hard, like, bringing in the elements from the storm series and telling a story that is wild, the whole split rogue thing.

[SPEAKER_03]: I was like, is this something that has happened about your time before?

[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, I don't think so, but it's just like, nope, this is what we're doing.

[SPEAKER_03]: There are two of them.

[SPEAKER_03]: I was like, okay, do they just have a fight and [SPEAKER_03]: They were like, we both went rogue, say, well, make two who cares.

[SPEAKER_03]: And it worked, because I do think rogue storm and unbreakablexment were two of my favorite of the revelation books.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm happy they did it, even though it's weird.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I really love this issue.

[SPEAKER_02]: Such a cool issue, a sad, beautiful, you know, [SPEAKER_02]: when we rogue it just kind of disappears and you just got the knuckle dusters there all that's so badass.

[SPEAKER_02]: I love that.

[SPEAKER_02]: Great art, great story.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's a lot of great cool battles happening.

[SPEAKER_02]: I can't wait for the next issue.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, there is no next issue.

[SPEAKER_02]: There's no one next issue.

[SPEAKER_03]: These are all done.

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, the next storm storm.

[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_05]: All right, got it.

[SPEAKER_05]: The next issue, I believe, is Titans number 30.

[SPEAKER_05]: If I remember, the next issue, I believe is Titans number 30.

[SPEAKER_05]: If I remember, the next issue, I believe is Titans.

[SPEAKER_05]: The last, well, we do have a last, well, we've read number three written by Saladin on bed, art by Edgar Salazar.

[SPEAKER_05]: This is following the WED to go there.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: A round with as well as Heather Hudson, who now is one eye.

[SPEAKER_05]: Coming after Wolverine, who has been brainwashed by Revelation, and they have a big fight on a rooftop in this issue.

[SPEAKER_05]: leading to some change of status quo and which is a major character.

[SPEAKER_05]: I think my favorite part of this issue is when the Wendigo ate some people and was like, yeah, I bought it.

[SPEAKER_05]: Let me finally read the code myself.

[SPEAKER_03]: I have this pulled up because I was like, this is wild.

[SPEAKER_03]: Wendigo at the end of the issue, this is sort of his last thing he says before he we close a shop on this character for a long, long time.

[SPEAKER_03]: Don't say that.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's like, to feel my fangs sinking into sweet meat, human meat, he's biting a person's arm at this moment.

[SPEAKER_03]: And for the first time in years, I admit the truth to myself.

[SPEAKER_03]: I missed this.

[SPEAKER_03]: I was like, is this the end of like a Gilmore girl's episode?

[SPEAKER_03]: And he's eating human flesh wild.

[SPEAKER_05]: That was, I believe the last episode is, I miss, I don't remember that.

[SPEAKER_05]: No, it is.

[SPEAKER_05]: They don't remember that.

[SPEAKER_05]: Gilmore girls.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's not on Netflix, wouldn't share it to you.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, they don't have the balls.

[SPEAKER_05]: What do you think about the seed where after they cut off Wolverine's arm?

[SPEAKER_05]: He's like, well, thanks for cutting off my arm.

[SPEAKER_05]: Then the way to go is like, you're healing factor is probably back.

[SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to throw you on this roof.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, here's the thing.

[SPEAKER_03]: This issue exposed like just the major problem with revelation, as a quote, Age of Revelation is a crossover.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, wait, what the fuck is happening?

[SPEAKER_03]: Like...

[SPEAKER_03]: In this issue, Wolverine is like, he's been like this big monster, the sort of monster I'd revelations back and call, who's been babbled supposedly, doesn't understand language anymore.

[SPEAKER_03]: But also mind controlled by revelations somehow, right, and I'm making that out, and in this issue, they somehow stop that from happening.

[SPEAKER_03]: Cut his arm off, throw him off the roof, and then he's just regular again.

[SPEAKER_03]: And then we're meant to, and then he like, but doesn't have enough, we walks off with one arm.

[SPEAKER_03]: And it's like, I guess my wife's dead, a relationship we know nothing about nor care about technically, because we haven't seen it all.

[SPEAKER_03]: And then the only thing I care about now is finding revelation and making him pay, I was like, [SPEAKER_03]: What are you talking about?

[SPEAKER_05]: There's a lot of that happening in these issues this month where it ends with like Edward, coming for revelation.

[SPEAKER_05]: And I'm like, all right, I get it.

[SPEAKER_05]: These are the last issues that you think.

[SPEAKER_05]: But like you're saying, there hasn't been enough set up of anything for the most part.

[SPEAKER_05]: We're not in these characters had like having Wolverine show up with one arm at the end saying he's coming for revelation.

[SPEAKER_05]: I have to think they're going to put [SPEAKER_05]: that silly little age of apocalypse metal cap on him, so that he looks like that again or something like that.

[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know, wipe it just a part of his arm.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, and like it also like this event is technically from its spine is like a two-ish event because all this all these three-ish series seemingly have nothing that there's no spine here.

[SPEAKER_03]: We haven't we don't know Revelation.

[SPEAKER_03]: Someone said this in the comments on the live show.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think Eric MCI on Twitch was like [SPEAKER_03]: Who why is that revelation isn't working because we don't know anything about revelation like we he was a good guy And then he was sort of like being a little extreme, but still part of the X-Men He showed up and joined the X-Men Scott summer's X-Men and then now he's like this big bad That we don't know anything about and now we're meant to roof her apocalypse and Charles Xavier to care All our basically for a second for a book of Revelation [SPEAKER_05]: Why don't we talk about it?

[SPEAKER_02]: Wait, can I please talk about this conversation?

[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't got the same thing yet, please.

[SPEAKER_02]: I did thank you.

[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, yeah, 1030.

[SPEAKER_02]: So, uh, first off, I, I don't care what you guys say.

[SPEAKER_02]: The window goal will bring is my favorite character.

[SPEAKER_02]: This is just such a fun revelation.

[SPEAKER_02]: And it's nice to see him getting in touch with them myself again and eating people because that's his true passion.

[SPEAKER_02]: Um, but yeah, there was just so many things switched together.

[SPEAKER_02]: It was so weird because, like, Heather was like, oh, [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no, Wolverine's mind controlled.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I can't get through to him at all.

[SPEAKER_02]: And then she cuts off his hand, Arm and he's like, Heather, I'm like, what?

[SPEAKER_02]: That's the normal reaction when someone cuts off your arm.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and then he gets thrown off a roof, and then he's totally just walking down the street.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, why is in his arm, or a grownback?

[SPEAKER_02]: I know it's a special sword that can kill him.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that doesn't mean it cannot grow.

[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know, it's whatever that's on it.

[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know, I don't know, this, I don't like this part of Wolverine continuity, so I've not stored it by brain.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's like the coronavirus.

[SPEAKER_02]: The Marisama, Marisama, Marisama, Marisama, Marisama, Marisama, Marisama, Marisama, what I mean, Marisama, Marisama, that silver samurai had that can kill Wolverine, but I'll think this is the same sort as that.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's the same sword, so it cuts off his arm.

[SPEAKER_05]: It cannot grow back.

[SPEAKER_02]: No.

[SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's just such a weird like everything had to happen so fast where it was just like, uh, cuts off his arm and he's like, had there?

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, hey, what's up?

[SPEAKER_02]: I'll funny running.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, what?

[SPEAKER_02]: No, um, yeah, and then you just throw off a roof and then he's walking down the street and I'm just like, wow.

[SPEAKER_05]: This is just yeah, whatever I'm talking about radio active spider band number three written by Joe Kelly art by Kev Walker the big thing happening in this series is Aunt May has been corrupted by the x virus and turned into a horrific.

[SPEAKER_05]: teeth.

[SPEAKER_05]: Goop monster that is teeth, teeth, goop monster that's attacking New York.

[SPEAKER_05]: Everybody is yelling at Spider-Man to do something about it, but he doesn't want to and can't do what needs to be done despite miles being really pissed off about him.

[SPEAKER_05]: And man, this title has a been so good, but such a good punch at this issue in particular is not a dry eye of the house.

[SPEAKER_03]: this has been one of the best one and it's very funny to me that the best series of an X-Men crossover is Joe Kelly's Spider-Man book.

[SPEAKER_03]: And he's writing this at the same time in the Spider-Man book continues.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's just like a weird side quest for him, but it's like it's one of the best books of this crossover.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's so emotional.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's still playing on the larger themes without getting wrapped around the axle of a bunch of revelation stuff.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, maybe Peter Parker belongs with Dr.

Cecilia Reyes.

[SPEAKER_03]: What are we talking about?

[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know, but Ken Walker's art, by the way, there's a panel of Cecilia sobbing and yelling at Spider-Man that is so emotional and so well done.

[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, the rest of it as well, but I was just really struck by that in particular.

[SPEAKER_05]: So, great book.

[SPEAKER_02]: Pete?

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is crazy sad.

[SPEAKER_02]: All they have may stuff is heartbreaking as fuck.

[SPEAKER_03]: But you wanted him to kill her sooner.

[SPEAKER_03]: No, I've always wanted that.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Alex has always been like, she's just teeth-goop, get her out of it.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's her mouth, Alex.

[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I don't know.

[SPEAKER_05]: Like, we've been reading comic books for a while.

[SPEAKER_05]: When Uncle Ben says with great power comes great response to me, he's talking about the responsibility to kill at Ben, right?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: He whispered to Pete.

[SPEAKER_03]: Kill my wife.

[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, that's why there's this thing with Spider-Man.

[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know if you guys have noticed it.

[SPEAKER_05]: But he always seems very guilty.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to be a loan and having so if you get a rep and kill and may that would be great.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's such a nice positive way to look at it because the full quote we know is with great power comes great responsibility to kill him.

[SPEAKER_05]: And he also always famous saying rather be alone in heaven than married in hell Why?

[SPEAKER_05]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, good.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: The real one doesn't want to kill.

[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't want to.

[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't want to kill that may because Uncle Ben is single and heaven.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's fucking around.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, boy.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's heaven.

[SPEAKER_03]: You would.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, anyway, that's how it works, I think.

[SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to tell my wife about this later.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's been book revelation number three on my Jed McKay, art by Netho Diaz.

[SPEAKER_05]: This is one that we were starting to encroach out a little bit earlier.

[SPEAKER_05]: I think here is one of revelations coeristers is not so innocent.

[SPEAKER_05]: After all, she's actually a rocky from bars.

[SPEAKER_05]: And she works for Apocalypse and has been working guest revelation this whole time aka all three issues of this series.

[SPEAKER_05]: But Revelation do it and need it and do it to bring the final conflict with Apocalypse on so that Revelation can become a ego-the-living planet but for Earth.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like so the whole the whole my plan the whole time I meant for you to do that [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, the whole plan is to become one single consciousness.

[SPEAKER_03]: To have Revelation be like, you know what I love?

[SPEAKER_03]: I heard of, I met this guy, ego that living planet, he seems pretty sick.

[SPEAKER_03]: I wanna do that.

[SPEAKER_03]: I wanna do that.

[SPEAKER_03]: What?

[SPEAKER_03]: What are we talking about here?

[SPEAKER_03]: And then the issue ends, and I mentioned this before, the conversation is Revelation versus apocalypse and Professor X.

I'm like, no one likes any of these people right now.

[SPEAKER_03]: Why, what are we rooting for here?

[SPEAKER_02]: Also like this little kid almost takes out revelation.

[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, yo, this guy's supposed to be a bad And he can't even handle this little kid right now.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like what it's going on?

[SPEAKER_03]: Very Arya Stark coded character here, and I did enjoy that stuff in this book.

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I like this issue It's just it's exposing some of the overarching flaws in the in the story [SPEAKER_05]: I would actually throw out there that I think we find out the most about Revelation as a character, and I think he is the most interesting in this series, Book of Revelation, defaced on the way that he is confessing his motivations to the younger character, and that is interesting.

[SPEAKER_05]: I wish we had gotten more of that earlier on and more threaded through a more cohesive story.

[SPEAKER_05]: Because the idea of Doug Ramsay being like, how can I possibly be apocalypse?

[SPEAKER_05]: Let me figure out how to make that work in a way that morally I feel okay with.

[SPEAKER_05]: That's interesting.

[SPEAKER_05]: Like that is an interesting take on something But it's getting lost in the sauce of [SPEAKER_05]: pretty much everything else that's going on, including where it's like it was real bubbly to turn Warlock into this virus and just got a tossing off that detail that I'm like, that's a whole issue of a comic book at least not a paddle.

[SPEAKER_03]: it makes it makes this whole event like such a middle point in the plan where he's like yeah I got to manage all these annoying people what all I really want to do is make everyone one planet I'm like what that's a crazy thing to not say and have a bunch of bad versions of a plan before finally getting to this larger plan that is a single consciousness which I'm like [SPEAKER_03]: That's such a, it's such a strange leap.

[SPEAKER_03]: I like the justification that you are highlighting, I like sort of, it's like, hey, how can everyone survive even the week when the fittest are the only ones that can survive?

[SPEAKER_03]: Zick, well, if everyone's one, everyone survives.

[SPEAKER_03]: But that's just, that's something like a philosophy you write down that in practice known with ever belief.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_03]: So it's hard to fully get on board with it for a character we're meant to think has real emotion.

[SPEAKER_02]: Also, what we're not talking about is the fact of like, if you're a living planet, that sucks because you're like, hey, stop, stop it.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you're destroying me.

[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, don't set that on fire.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know, we would all be the same.

[SPEAKER_03]: one.

[SPEAKER_03]: We would just be podcasting all the time.

[SPEAKER_02]: We are ready podcast all the time.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we're doing it.

[SPEAKER_03]: We're like a tiny we're like ego the living.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the loss maybe.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: Great.

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, that's it for the edge of each revelation only two more weeks to go of that exquisite course celebrate the new year by ushering in the end.

[SPEAKER_05]: You know, after that we should go back and reread [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, great.

[SPEAKER_05]: Like how we do, in the new context, 30 times in a row.

[SPEAKER_05]: Exquisite corpse is number eight from Image Comics, written by Portsak, P.

Shot, and James Sider, the fourth, art by Adam Gorem, with Michael Walsh.

[SPEAKER_05]: Some big stuff going down this issue as a bunch of crazed assassins are trying to just write each other in an entire town.

[SPEAKER_05]: Meanwhile, back in the control room, they're freaking out because they've lost the [SPEAKER_05]: which gives one of our characters live in the town enough time to find out what is actually going on.

[SPEAKER_05]: From a character that frankly, I thought it was going to go to the distance, but even that ends up in surprising fashion, though I think it also teased up what maybe the end game is going to be here at least for this first series.

[SPEAKER_05]: What do you think about this one?

[SPEAKER_03]: I love this issue.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think this was like the issue that finally tipped this over into like just a such a winning comic like the way that there's just a great speech that's happening here while there's still some other action happening We're cutting back and forth with this [SPEAKER_03]: This conversation between our ambulance, driving character and our soldier, our soldier who's one of the state weapons, our state assassins out here to kill is so good.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so like inspiring, I was definitely like feeling the emotions of it.

[SPEAKER_03]: Even though it's like just a bloody mess in here, it really works.

[SPEAKER_03]: It really got to me and it really made me think, oh wait, this town is going to fucking fight back against these, [SPEAKER_03]: oligarchs who run everything and I actually believe it the first seven issues of this have been about the bleak dominance these killers are having over these these small town average Americans and this is this issue this speech maybe like oh man they're gonna kill these people so like I was like this is just when the revenge story has maybe started to turn and I'm here for it [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this continues to be really cool.

[SPEAKER_02]: Amazing, our a lot of fun to us in terms.

[SPEAKER_02]: Wow, all right, man.

[SPEAKER_03]: Do you not like this?

[SPEAKER_03]: Do you not like this?

[SPEAKER_02]: No, I do, but it's just a, you know, two bloody for you.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this, but it's, it is very interesting and unique and cool.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I, I don't know, just something about it is, I don't think it's just two bloody.

[SPEAKER_03]: Two horror.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's funny that you like enough blood, because there's something, these characters are like, a ton of punishers fighting.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's me, yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: So like, that's right over the plate for you, but it's just too much your line.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's a very specific line you have.

[SPEAKER_05]: Apparently, it's weird.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: You'll tie number three from Odie Press written by George Northeart by Rochelle.

[SPEAKER_05]: A ragdow is the final issue of this title that finds a town fighting against an influx.

[SPEAKER_05]: of monsters right out of Christmas myth.

[SPEAKER_05]: Can they beat them?

[SPEAKER_05]: Can they get rid of them?

[SPEAKER_05]: You'll find out in this issue.

[SPEAKER_05]: I have found the series to be very, a very fun charming adventure, particularly Rochelle Arrogno's art, which, again, I've using this word a lot this episode, but it is very cartoony, but it feels like it would be right at home on like, [SPEAKER_05]: like as a Netflix movie or something like that or Cartoon Network, it's a enjoyable time.

[SPEAKER_05]: I had a good time reading this.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, so as you're saying that I'm thinking like, oh, this has Hildan energy.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yes.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking of.

[SPEAKER_03]: And that's a good energy.

[SPEAKER_03]: I've been watching a lot of Hildos with my kids in Hildos such a fun.

[SPEAKER_03]: Hildos laughs to it.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's a great show.

[SPEAKER_02]: Cool cover or I go ahead, Justin.

[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry to make a good time.

[SPEAKER_03]: No, that's it.

[SPEAKER_03]: I agree with what Alex was saying and this has that fun every day people in a big fantasy situation that that works like Hilda.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I thought that.

[SPEAKER_02]: artistically this is really impressive family wins which is great you know a little kind of preview to maybe are around with crampus later but I really love this kind of story and where it ended here.

[SPEAKER_02]: I just think this is a tight package.

[SPEAKER_05]: Hilda, the sacrifices number 18 for the image comics written by Rick Remender, art by Andre Lima Arujo.

[SPEAKER_05]: The last couple of issues in this title have been barreling through plot at an insane degree, even for a Rick Remender title as we have followed our pigeon character who has been battling back against the gods, teeming up.

[SPEAKER_05]: with sluta who is the daughter of the son who seemed to be buying a drink of the cool aid almost literally but actually killed off all the gods.

[SPEAKER_05]: This issue we jump three years into the future to see how well that has turned out and the answer is not well but you do that because [SPEAKER_05]: Now it's crazy.

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, most, it's crazy.

[SPEAKER_05]: I recommend your book where things go real well for everybody.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want a pigeonhole.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's such a great writer.

[SPEAKER_02]: Pigeon.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: Pigeon.

[SPEAKER_02]: Pigeon.

[SPEAKER_02]: Luda.

[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, you have a, I mean, first off the art on this is phenomenal.

[SPEAKER_02]: Just the facial stuff.

[SPEAKER_02]: They, it's just unbelievable.

[SPEAKER_02]: You can see the pain on people's faces.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's unbelievable.

[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, this is sad.

[SPEAKER_02]: This is, [SPEAKER_02]: crazy but also such a cool idea to be like oh yeah you want to start revolution let's fast forward see how that works out for you just really really smart very well done [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, the fact that this is the three, the third part of a six-part arc, I'm like, wow, you don't see a 30 years later in the absolute middle of the story.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.

[SPEAKER_03]: But that's what we're doing here.

[SPEAKER_03]: The artist's fantastic.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's a panel when our, our, our, our replacement son, God, characters.

[SPEAKER_03]: Solaris, is it Solaris?

[SPEAKER_03]: or Solanus, she, Soluna, yes, she's like yelling and there she screams, she screams and there's like this sickness is sort of leafy out of her eyes and mouth venom style, this is very cool.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I just love like this arc feels, this story has been all about how abhorrent the idea of sacrificing a child was in the way this society worked back in the day.

[SPEAKER_03]: to do that to feed the gods, they kept the order.

[SPEAKER_03]: And now this ark is like, they finally threw off that yolk and we're like, that's evil.

[SPEAKER_03]: You deserve to die, they kill them.

[SPEAKER_03]: And now, [SPEAKER_03]: People are being sacrificed because of the lack of order in the world.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's always sacrifice.

[SPEAKER_03]: What is what do we do in a world where we win the fight and people are sacrificing the same amount or even more?

[SPEAKER_03]: And you see that emotional damage that they're going through and you are powerless to stop it.

[SPEAKER_03]: When it felt easy to kill the oppressors from before, and that's the kind of complicated shit that Rick Romander loves to dive into and I love to see The way that he lays that very real stuff down and just puts the metaphor on top of it and it's it's just this series I don't know if I know I feel like none of the people are talking about how great this particular series is in the In the really impressive [SPEAKER_05]: Star Trek, the last Starship, number three, for my WWE written by Colin Kelly and Jackson Lansing, Art by Adrian Bonilla.

[SPEAKER_05]: We talked to Kelly and Lansing about this book, a couple of days back on the live show.

[SPEAKER_05]: So check that out because they broke it all down.

[SPEAKER_05]: In this issue, we've got [SPEAKER_05]: Well, there's a lot of stuff going on in Star Trek continuity, including this taking place.

[SPEAKER_05]: After the burn and event that destroyed most of the Lithium in the universe, we've got the last Starship title that is traveling out there to try to bring hope again, but they've run.

[SPEAKER_05]: straight up against the cling-ons who are pissed off about the burn as well, complicating things quite a bit is a board-queen named Agnes who has an agenda of her own.

[SPEAKER_05]: Captain Kirk has been resurrected, it is not the body, and there is a whole crew to deal with at the same time.

[SPEAKER_05]: Even with all of those details, I would argue [SPEAKER_05]: This is the kind of high octane blockbuster Star Trek stuff that you are just not getting on TV at all, Eddie Bourne.

[SPEAKER_05]: And this is a absolute blast that you could end to anybody.

[SPEAKER_05]: Even with the deep continuity, there are so many bonkers moments in this issue is loan.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's just great.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I feel like the TV stuff is going like next generation, but like mystical, then a little weirder like trying to aim at prestige TV less procedural versions of TNG.

[SPEAKER_03]: And it's fine, it's just, it's a little inert, I think, in its execution.

[SPEAKER_03]: But man does this go the opposite way.

[SPEAKER_03]: This takes like some of the original like no Kathy Kirk wants to fight in the dirt with some aliens really if you look at it and it gets it pushes into the high action that the movie relaunched it back in the early odds.

[SPEAKER_03]: and but in a much more true bigger way and the comic book form is really allowing them to go to do more all at once than the movies did.

[SPEAKER_03]: So it's both paying homage to the original Star track while also driving so barreling forward like you're saying Alex in this great way.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I agree with all that.

[SPEAKER_02]: This is great.

[SPEAKER_02]: Continues to be great.

[SPEAKER_02]: There's so many cool moments.

[SPEAKER_02]: Great kind of battle with that kind of growing weapon stuff that was really bad.

[SPEAKER_05]: I came through up, but I just wanted to shout out Adrian Boney is, are there's two full page splashes of this issue, one, the one that you mentioned, Pete, where it just has this amazing page flip.

[SPEAKER_05]: to a thing with a batlet that I don't want to at least boil and then the last page as well which is just a shocker Crazy reveal that like Justin is saying connects Very much to exactly what you would expect from Captain Kirk, but a new fund.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's surprising.

[SPEAKER_05]: Sorry Pete.

[SPEAKER_02]: Go ahead.

[SPEAKER_05]: No, yeah, you nailed it.

[SPEAKER_05]: All right Last but not least, I loaded number two from image comics written by Kieran Gillen art by Stephanie I want to go die loaded baby.

[SPEAKER_05]: Come on [SPEAKER_05]: just like the dreadnogs And that's what they're talking about There we are back in the deadly RPG world of a die following some new characters who are legacy characters who have been sucked in there and they are dealing with all the weirdness that is involved And that's all I got to say about that [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that sums it up.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_05]: The first issue of this was really clear.

[SPEAKER_05]: And I think we lauded it for its clarity in terms of breaking down the very complicated premise.

[SPEAKER_05]: We're back and complicated lab this issue.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: Baby.

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, we get it.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's weirdly like.

[SPEAKER_03]: touching some very simple ideas we get like a straight rip of a frank frizzetta character in this In the middle and then like just a mermaid is briefly floating.

[SPEAKER_03]: I was like, I know what that is But the rest of it is I'm like, oh, I don't quite know anything that's happening here I know there's other characters.

[SPEAKER_03]: They have to meet up with I they do tell us the rules a couple times.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, she's helpful [SPEAKER_03]: But it's still hard to exactly put my finger on in the way that power fantasy was curing Gill and really like laying down a chip on like I'm going to change my vibe up a little bit.

[SPEAKER_03]: This comic is like no, I'm going harder in my density, density chasing storytelling.

[SPEAKER_03]: But you know, I'm here for it, the all will be revealed.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's just this is the complication issue.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, um, this is awesome.

[SPEAKER_02]: I really found last panel.

[SPEAKER_02]: Um, the art is really impressive.

[SPEAKER_02]: Some just breathtaking panel work here.

[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm, I'm, I'm very much excited to kind of be back in this world and excited to see how it's going to kind of up up the ante if you will.
