Batman: Knightfall on episode 16 of Matt and Mike Read Comics. The classic story where Batman finally lost and the introduction of the truly terrifying villain known as Bane. Batman's rogues gallery is hard to compare to, but rarely had there been a villain like Bane. Others had come close to beating Batman, but never truly succeeded. Bane's desire to both know and beat his enemy was a new approach to villainy in the Batman world. Following Batman's defeat, Jean Paul Valley takes up the mantle in the most 90's way possible. We cover it all on this episode of Matt and Mike Read Comics.
La Órbita de Endor hoy regresa al cómic, regresa a Batman y regresa con una obra que hemos seleccionado por sus claroscuros y porque marcó un antes y un después en la historia del Hombre Murciélago: BATMAN KNIGHTFALL (LA CAÍDA DEL CABALLERO OSCURO). Obra más larga que un día sin pan y que tiene momentos memorables, antológicos incluso, y periplos más cuestionables, incluso urticantes, por lo que hoy habrá ovaciones y abucheos a partes iguales. No nos casamos con nadie. Con todo, es necesario analizar una obra que definió el cómic de superhéroes de los años 90, así que será más un audio de análisis cultural que del cómic propiamente dicho, honesto a muerte y donde no sobrarán hachazos al formato y precio en que ha vuelto a las estanterías de las librerías. Con Paco Garrido, Jaime Angulo, Antonio Monfort y Antonio Runa, volvemos a Gotham. ¿Quién será héroe, sidekick, villano o esbirro? Además, en este podcast, a partir de minuto 184 (3 hrs : 04 min) podrá escucharse un relato en formato audiolibro, locutado por Juan Carlos Albarracín de una historia en cinco partes. Se trata de una narración protagonizada por Isaac Zarco, el protagonista de la última novela de Antonio Runa, pero en un caso independiente y conclusivo titulado EL CASO DEL SR. GUILLOTINA. La música con licencia Creative Commons utilizada en este podcast pertenece a Gregoire Lourme, Fran Prados, Nightbringer, Simplefixty y Runestaff.

Mroczna aura, długie płaszcze, wzbudzanie popłochu wśród złoczyńców - jeżeli pominąć metody działania, Batmana i Spawna łączy bardzo wiele, ale czy potrafią ze sobą współpracować? Odpowiedź na to pytanie podsuwają historie zarówno z 1994 roku, jak i ubiegłoroczne, zebrane przez Egmont/Świat Komiksu w jeden tom. Więcej na jego temat dowiecie się z kolejnego odcinka podcastu Nightslime.Rozmawiamy o autorach tomu, nie tylko Toddzie McFarlanie (twórcy Spawna) oraz znanym z "Powrotu Mrocznego Rycerza" Franku Millerze, ale również o triu w dużym stopniu odpowiedzialnym za sukces "Batman: Knightfall" w składzie Doug Moench, Alan Grant i Chuck Dixon; o sposobie narracji McFarlane'a, który sili się na ponurą poezję, ale rezultat przypomina teksty numetalowych zespołów; o wyraźnym, choć nieszkodliwym faworyzowaniu tego bohatera, który jest bliższy poszczególnym scenarzystom; a także o zdrowej porcji niepoważnej rozrywki, jaka jest immanentną cechą komiksowych crossoverów.Patronami odcinka są:Paweł Jaksik, Jakub Kraszewski, Sebastian Wojtasik-------------------------------------Możesz nas wesprzeć na https://patronite.pl/Nightslime

We vermoeden dat het niemand onopgemerkt gepasseerd is: Kelley Jones kwam op 21/6 naar Mekanik strip! En wat voor feest was dat, zeg! Kelley is natuurlijk de bekende tekenaar van the Sandman "Dream Country" en "Season of Mist", Batman & Dracula, Deadman, en Batman Knightfall. Een echt icoon van de comicwereld dus! Geen enkele comic-fan vergeet de stijl waarin hij Batman tekent, met die kenmerkende lange oren! Fans trokken van heinde en verre naar de Mekanik om huh commissies, comics, artist editions, en special prints te laten signeren, en om een gezellig babbeltje te doen met Kelley natuurlijk. Het weer was de moeite en de sfeer zat erin in onze galerie! Natuurlijk deden wij zelf ook een onderonsje met deze comic legende! Het resultaat kan je hier belijken of beluisteren. Jens nodigde ook FACTS interviewers Tony en Nout uit voor deze speciale Kelly Jones Mekanicast!
After a week where kids derailed recording an episode, Matt and Jay are back. They get into books this week, starting with Project: Hail Mary by Andy Weir. They shift to some Star Wars books (and movie rumors) and Mark Twain. They jump to comics, where gets into Batman: Knightfall and they discuss Robert Kirkman. They finish with 2 weeks of homework, including Samaritan, Cherry, Ghosted, Air, Tetris, The Son, Good Nurse, and more. This week's beers were Arch City Haze from Bluewood Brewing and OJ Run from Narrow Gauge Brewing. This week's featured song was Tiny Bodyguard by Superbloom. You can find them at: Instagram | Youtube | Facebook The intro music was The Mad Dog Remix of The Other Side by the Red Hot Chili Peppers; it was created by Madelyn Tierney.

Po ponad ćwierć wieku wreszcie doczekaliśmy w Polsce zamknięcia kultowego "Knightfall". O epilogu historii, która pokazała wyjątkowo ludzkiego, pełnego słabości, a dzięki temu silniejszego jako postać Batmana, a także historii, która wprowadziła do świata komiksów DC Bane'a opowiadamy w kolejnym odcinku podcastu Nightslime.Rozmawiamy o nietypowej, braterskiej relacji Batmana z Robinem, kiedy w tego pierwszego zaczyna wcielać się Dick Grayson; o tym, że Bane nigdy później nie wydawał się równie ważny i niebezpieczny; o tym, czy Batman jest jak Ghostface z "Krzyku" - pusta maska, pod którą może znaleźć się wiele postaci; o cyberprzestępcy Dwóch Twarzach i o tym, że chociaż nowe polskie wydanie (Egmont/Świat Komiksu) jest najbardziej kompletnym z możliwych, chciałoby się w świecie "Knightfall" pozostać na dłużej.Patronami odcinka są:Paweł Jaksik, Jakub Kraszewski, Sebastian Wojtasik-------------------------------------Możesz nas wesprzeć na https://patronite.pl/Nightslime
It's time. Time to revisit one of the worst comics we've ever read on the show... Frank Miller's All Star Batman & Robin, the famously crass and unfinished alternate universe version of "The Goddamn Batman." Our friend Nick (from the Your Stupid Minds podcast) joined us back when we read the first 6 issues, so of course we had to invite him back to talk about issues 7-10. We were all desperate for some classic Batman after that, so Nick also joined us as we continued our long read of Batman: Knightfall with Chapter 10 in Detective Comics #663. Next Time: Cosmic Ghost Rider (2018) + Knightfall #11 (The Breaking of the Batman)
It's been a long time since we read any Alex Ross but today we decided to take a look at his newest book, Fantastic Four: Full Circle, a story exploring some of the FF's past with the Negative Zone. Alex Ross abandons his painterly for something a little different, and he also wrote this book too! Then we continue our long read of Batman: Knightfall with Chapter 8 in Detective Comics 662, a story that focuses on The Riddler while Batman hangs out with a monkey. Next Time: Secret Invasion #1-8

It's time for the 2nd half of our Young Avengers two-parter! We dive into issues #7-12 and learn more about Teddy's birthright while also speed-running the secret of Billy's speedster twin brother (because they gotta wrap this series up ASAP). Then we continue Batman: Knightfall with Chapter 6 in Detective Comics #661, where we learn to NEVER mess with the firefighter's union. Next Time: Our 200th Episode Celebration with Alan Moore's 1963.
Dla każdego, kto w latach 90. zaczytywał się w komiksach z Batmanem w roli głównej - wydawanych przez TM-Semic - ponowne zagłębienie się w "Knightfall" musi być wyjątkową podróżą sentymentalną. Mimo że minęły już trzy dekady, nie jest to jednak historia, która broniłaby się wyłącznie wspomnieniami, a w dodatku w tomie czwartym nowego wydania (Egmont/Świat Komiksu) znalazło się mnóstwo zeszytów dotąd u nas nie publikowanych. Więcej dowiecie się z trzysta trzydziestego odcinka podcastu Nightslime. Rozmawiamy o ogromnej wartości długoterminowego konstruowania fabuły, na co dzisiaj coraz rzadziej scenarzyści mogą sobie pozwolić; o odwadze, jaką musiało być nie tylko poświęcenie kilku rozdziałów samemu Bruce'owi Wayne'owi, ale w dodatku przebranie go za brytyjskiego arystokratę; o londyńskim odpowiedniku Batmana - Hoodzie, który na karty komiksu powracał rzadko, a który byłby znakomitą postacią filmową dla lubującego się w ożywianiu mało znanych herosów Jamesa Gunna; o losach Ligi Sprawiedliwości w latach 90.; a także o Jamesie Bondzie, "Mission: Impossible", "Super Mario Bros.", filmach kung fu i o tym, że dopiero ten tom w pełni pozwala zrozumieć, że najistotniejszy jest w "Knightfall" konflikt nie Batmana z Banem, tylko Bruce'a Wayne'a z Jean-Paulem Valleyem.Patronami odcinka są:Paweł Jaksik, Jakub Kraszewski, Sebastian Wojtasik-------------------------------------Możesz nas wesprzeć na https://patronite.pl/Nightslime

Superman), Livio Ramondelli (artist - IDW's Transformer comics, creator of IDW's The Kill Lock), and Chris Thorne (sketch card artist - Star Wars, The Walking Dead, Alien 3) participate in a thorough discussion regarding Batman: Knightfall (1992) in light of the comic event's 30th anniversary, with topics including Jones' creation of the iconic "break the bat" cover image, memories from the release of Knightfall, how the event changed the character of Batman forever, and more. (Beware: SPOILERS for Batman: Knightfall abound in this panel discussion!)
Jesienią opowiadaliśmy między innymi o kilku produkcjach superbohaterskich, horrorach "Uśmiechnij się", "Terrifier 2" czy nowym "Hellraiserze", o kolejnym tomie "Batman Knightfall" i nowym wydaniu "Ligi Niezwykłych Dżentelmenów", ale i tak nie zdążyliśmy sięgnąć po każdy z bliskich nam tematów, więc w kolejnym podsumowaniu minionej pory roku nadrabiamy to, czemu poświęcaliśmy ostatnio czas, a o czym dotąd nie mieliśmy okazji się podzielić. Będzie o wrestlingu z perspektywy dwóch czołowych meksykańskich luchadorów - Penty El Zero M i Reya Féniksa, którzy najpierw w połowie października stoczyli widowiskowe boje w trakcie finału trzydziestolecia TripleManii; a później jako członkowie Death Triangle weszli w posiadanie AEW World Trios Championship i są właśnie w trakcie rozciągniętej na siedem widowiskowych starć wojny o ich obronę z The Elite. Będzie o japońskiej animacji (trochę o nie aż tak zachwycającym jak pierwowzór "Chainsaw Manie", więcej o pięknym hołdzie dla gier i konsol Segi w "Uncle from Another World" oraz o pełnym emocji, zachwycającym od strony animacji "Mob Psycho 100 III"), a także o japońskim komiksie (nadrabianym przez jednego z nas "Ataku tytanów", nowym wydaniu "Battle Angel Alita" i przepięknym "Dorohedoro"). Będzie o podjęciu wyzwania obejrzenia wszystkich odcinków "Star Trek: Następne pokolenie"; o "Pearl" - wspaniałym hołdzie dla Złotej Ery Hollywood, który Ti West złożył, spoglądając przez pryzmat swojego ukochanego gatunku, czyli horroru; a także o hołdzie dla filmu, jaki William niedawno miał okazję złożyć podczas występu na Festiwalu Filmowym Cinematika, gdzie wykonał własne wersje utwór między innymi z "Halloween" i "Blade Runnera".

It's been a while but we finally revisit the Age of Apocalypse with the next miniseries on our list, X-Calibre, which is basically the Nightcrawler and Mystique show. It's got pirates and senseless murder and piles and piles of dead bodies. Cool. Then we start our longread of Batman: Knightfall with a special Vengeance of Bane one-shot that tells us about how Bane was sentenced to prison as a baby. Wait, that can't be right... Next Time: We break format to remember Kevin Conroy with a pair of animated TV episodes Batman: The Animated Series - "Perchance to Dream" Justice League Unlimited - "This Little Piggy" Plus we start Batman: Knightfall properly with Batman #492
Poprzednie dwa tomy "Knightfall" były podróżą sentymentalną dla tych osób, które czytały "Batmana" wydawanego przez TM-Semic w drugiej połowie lat 90. Tom trzeci to w przeważającej mierze te wątki historii o upadku i powrocie Bruce'a Wayne'a, których w Polsce dotąd nie mogliśmy przeczytać, skoncentrowane na moralnych zmaganiach nowego Mrocznego Rycerza, jego przemianie i zatarciu granic pomiędzy dobrem a złem. Więcej dowiecie się z kolejnego odcinka podcastu Nightslime. Rozmawiamy o tym, że chociaż wiele potyczek tak zwanego "Azbata" (czyli Azraela w roli Batmana) wydaje się nieistotnych, toczonych przeciwko marnym przeciwnikom, służą uwiarygodnieniu jego niestabilnej psychiki; o fascynującej galerii wrogów od doskonale znanych Jokera czy Catwoman po wymyślnych i rzadko w późniejszych latach przywoływanych Komornika albo Ballistica; o jednym z najlepszych wcieleń Robina; fascynujących rysunkach Vincenta Giarrano; a także o tym, dlaczego Azbat to "niewyżyty seksualnie świętoszkowaty palant".

With Namor appearing in the movies soon for the first time in Black Panther, we go waaaaay back in the past to 1939 to read the first appearance of the Sub-Mariner in Marvel Comics #1, published back when they were called Timely Comics. Then we read the Namor stories from Marvel Mystery Comics #7-10 to see him attack New York and fight the Human Torch and basically be the biggest a-hole of all time. It's very entertaining! Then we finish our tour through the life of Earth-2's Batman with Brave and the Bold #197, in which Batman recalls the way he and Catwoman fell in love. Next Time: We go back to the Age of Apocalypse with X-Calibre We start our next long-read, Batman: Knightfall, with Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1

Zawartość drugiego tomu ponownego polskiego wydania "Knightfall" to jeden z najważniejszych komiksów w liczącej ponad osiemdziesiąt lat historii Mrocznego Rycerza. Pełen emocji, w swoim czasie wstrząsający finał konfrontacji z Banem i zarazem zalążek historii szaleństwa następcy Bruce'a Wayne'a. Więcej dowiecie się o niej z kolejnego odcinka podcastu Nightslime.Wracamy we wspomnieniach do połowy lat 90., kiedy "Knightfall" ukazywał się w Polsce w pojedynczych zeszytach nakładem TM-Semic; rozmawiamy o uczciwym podejściu do złoczyńców z bogatego panteonu wrogów Batmana, którzy nawet w krótkich potyczkach otrzymują minimum osobowości, czego dzisiaj często im brakuje; o zaskakującym stopniu przemocy w niektórych momentach scenariusza; a także o poruszających introspekcjach Bruce'a Wayne'a autorstwa Douga Moencha i wyjątkowych, skrajnie odmiennych rysunkach Norma Breyfogle'a i Jima Aparo.Patronami odcinka są:Paweł Jaksik, Jakub Kraszewski-------------------------------------Możesz nas wesprzeć na https://patronite.pl/Nightslime

Episode 149!? This week we are switching things up! We had some technical difficulties so you get to check out one of our Patreon shows, the "Thicc Cut" Welcome to our new partreon exclusive show! Thicc Cut! I know its a weird name but on this show we are going to be doing deep dive read along's from major comic book events! We'll be going issue by issue so you can keep up with us! We're kicking this thing off with Batman: Knightfall. "Knightfall" is a 1993–1994 Batman story arc published by DC Comics. It consists of a trilogy of storylines that ran from 1993 to 1994, consisting of "Knightfall", "Knightquest", and "KnightsEnd". The story takes place over approximately six months. Bruce Wayne (Batman) suffers burnout and is systematically assaulted and crippled by a "super steroid"-enhanced genius named Bane. Wayne is replaced as Batman by an apprentice named Jean-Paul Valley (a.k.a. Azrael), who becomes increasingly violent and unstable, tarnishing Batman's reputation. Eventually, Wayne is healed through paranormal means and reclaims his role as Batman. "Knightfall" resulted in long-term ramifications for the Batman continuity, as Batman's trust from the police, the public, and his fellow superheroes had to be rebuilt due to Azrael's violence. Additionally, Wayne realizes the peril and burden of attempting to work in solitude, leading to the eventual creation of the modern incarnation of the Batman Family. The events of "Knightfall" also led to the (temporary) resignation of Wayne's loyal butler, Alfred Pennyworth. The entire "Knightfall" storyline took over a year to complete in the comic book serials. In later years, the comics were reprinted several times, though never in full, as the "Knightquest: The Search" story arc had not been collected until the second omnibus edition in 2017 The series continues with Batman #497 so download it and lets dive in!

Pierwsze starcie Batmana z Banem to jedno z najważniejszych wydarzeń w ponad osiemdziesięcioletniej historii Mrocznego Rycerza, w swoich czasach rewolucyjne, ukazujące Bruce'a Wayne'a jako zmęczonego, wypalonego, osłabionego fizycznie i psychicznie człowieka z krwi i kości. Dla polskiej publiczności, która czytała pierwsze publikowane u nas komiksy superbohaterskie, to również podróż sentymentalna, którą wreszcie (dzięki Egmont/Świat Komiksu) w kompletnej wersji może przeżyć jeszcze raz. Więcej dowiecie się z kolejnego odcinka podcastu Nightslime.Jako osoby wychowane na "Knightfall" i powiązanych z głównym wątkiem pobocznych historiach, poświęciliśmy pierwszemu tomowi serii jeden z najdłuższych odcinków w historii. Rozmawiamy o cierpliwym, stopniowym budowaniu nastroju tego wyjątkowego komiksu, co w oryginale zajęło aż cztery lata i o tym, dlaczego dzisiaj na równie rozległe wydarzenia nie można liczyć; o ówczesnym kształcie uniwersum DC, w którym dopiero co Doomsday odebrał życie Supermanowi i o różnicach pomiędzy pierwszym rodzimym wydaniem "Knightfall" (TM-Semic) a najnowszym.Analizujemy każdy z rozdziałów z osobna zarówno pod kątem scenariusza (porównujemy podejścia Chucka Dixona, Douga Moencha oraz Dennisa O'Neila), jak i rysunków (Jima Aparo, Michaela Netzera, Joe Quesady); rozmawiamy o elementach tych historii, które nie zestarzały się najlepiej (chociażby kolejna potyczka Batmana z rekinem) i o tych, które wciąż wywołują piorunujące wrażenie; a także wskazujemy na podobieństwa do wrestlingu, niesławnego "Batman i Robin" Joela Schumachera, Moon Knighta, "Mission: Impossible" czy nawet "Pana Kleksa w kosmosie".Patronami odcinka są:Paweł Jaksik, Jakub Kraszewski, Krzysztof Sieja-------------------------------------Możesz nas wesprzeć na https://patronite.pl/Nightslime

If you know Kelley Jones -- and you should -- you're probably conjuring up one of his creepy, highly-stylized Batman: Knightfall covers from his run in the 90s. That's fair. Those covers and his interior art on the Dark Knight are iconic. But Kelley is more than that. He contributed to the look of the Dreaming in several issues of Sandman. He also redesigned Deadman to look more like, well... a dead man. More Batman work followed, as well as stints at Dark Horse and Marvel. Kelley draws the most beautifully horrific images, and you get to hear about how he does it in another classic Oren one-on-one episode._______________________________________You can find a video version of this episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits.Check out and subscribe to YEET Presents on Patreon: patreon.com/yeetmagazine.Email us at dollarbinbandits@gmail.com.

In this episode, Greg, Leon and Rahul are joined by special guest Marvyn For the fifth and final installment in our epic discussion and breakdown of BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Knightfall). Presenting “BATMAN: KNIGHTSEND” (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/KnightsEnd) Following the events of “KNIGHTQUEST: THE CRUSADE” (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Knightquest) and “KNIGHTQUEST: THE SEARCH” (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Knightquest), Bruce Wayne has returned to Gotham. Alfred has gone. Jean-Paul valley's campaign of terror and one knight, deepy violent crusade on crime has ravaged Gotham. The mansion is in a state of disrepair and Gotham has lost trust in her champion. The mantle of the Bat now resides in the iron claw of a zealous dark paladin who has appointed himself judge, jury and executioner. Bruce is determined to take back the mantle and correct his mistake, to restore the Batman, as a symbol to its former glory. But first he needs to regain his edge, before going toe to toe with Jean-Paul for the title! Now there really is just one arc here that closes out the battle and puts the mantle back where it belongs with Bruce Wayne. But following Knightfall the story is not truly over. It isn't a tidy ending, which is why we chose to cover the fallout for true closure! This is collected in two subsequent chunks “BATAMAN: PRODIGAL” (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Prodigal) and “BATMAN: TROIKA” (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Troika) It's all here.

Picking up where we last left off, it's time to learn about Marvel's second attempt at comics for Christian audiences. Highlights include comic adaptations of "classic" Christian stories and the creation of an evangelical superhero, but the results were decidedly less impressive than the "Saint Series" from the early 80s. ----more---- Episode 8 Transcription [00:00:00] Jessika: Good, I can see, perfect. No sneaking up on me, Jesus. Mike: Welcome to Ten Cent Takes, the podcast where we partake in comics' forbidden fruit, one issue at a time. My name is Mike Thompson and I'm joined by my cohost, the muffin of mayhem herself, Jessika Frazer. Jessika: Hello. Mike: How's it going? Jessika: Oh, pretty good. Even better, now that you're calling me a muffin. I love it. Mike: I mean, it was either that or the scone of scorn and I liked muffin of mayhem better. Jessika: Oh, either way. I mean, it's very close. I do have a cupcake on my shoulder as you know. Mike: Yes. [00:01:00] Well, as always, the purpose of this podcast is to perform deep dives on comic books in ways that are both fun and informative. We want to look at their coolest, weirdest and silliest moments, as well as examine how they're woven into the larger fabric of pop culture and history. Today, we're picking up where we left off with our last episode and concluding our look at Marvel's short-lived run of Christian comics. Are you ready? Jessika: Yeehaw. Mike: Well, I'm going to give you a quick break before we actually get into that. What is one cool thing that you have read or watched since we last recorded? Jessika: I started reading the Princeless series by Jeremy Whitley. Mike: Nice. Jessika: Yeah. The art for the first book was by M Goodwin, but there are other artists involved, including Emily Martin, who is local to our area, which is super neat. Mike: Yeah. I met her at Luma [00:02:00] Con a couple of years ago. Jessika: Oh, that's rad as heck. Nice, nice. So, the story follows a princess, Adrienne, who from a young age, is not at all on board with the conventional helpless role she's expected to take as a princess, and is not happy about being locked in a tower alone. So she decides that she doesn't need to continue this path that has been chosen for her and escapes to help others. She's also a person of color and her hair care routines and style reflect that, which is wonderful. And I'm only one issue into the first book, but I'm so excited to see what destiny Adrienne writes for herself. Mike: I think I read the first volume a couple of years ago and I really enjoyed it. It was a really fresh feeling story. Jessika: That's how I felt about it, it was very refreshing. Well, what about [00:03:00] you? Whatcha been reading? Mike: So, one of the series that I have on my pull list at Brian's comics up in Petaluma is We Only Find Them When They're Dead from Boom. It's about six issues. And now it's this really cool sci-fi fantasy sort of series by Al Ewing who has really gotten big while he's been writing the Immortal Hulk, which I also highly recommend because that takes the incredible Hulk storyline and turns it into pretty much a horror story. Jessika: Oh, cool. Mike: It's really neat. And it's really unnerving and, he's been writing it for over 30 issues now, I think, but it's really solid. And the whole idea is that the Hulk is effectively an immortal being and he can't die. But how that comes into play is genuinely terrifying at times. But Al Ewing did this new series called We Only Find Them When They're Dead. The series is just incredible. And it's set in this weird dystopian future where [00:04:00] the bodies of these giant space gods, for lack of a better term appear out of nowhere. And then humanity is so stretched thin for resources that, that what they've started doing is they have these spaceships that will harvest the bodies for parts. And nobody knows where these gods come from until the crew of one of these harvesting ships decides to solve the mystery. It's this really tight kind of small scale story so far, but it's set against this really insane, massive cosmic backdrop. And it's also very queer, so, I think you would probably enjoy it more so than usual. Jessika: Very nice. Very nice. Mike: All right. Let's turn back to Marvel's Christian Comics. Would you be so kind as to give us a quick recap of where we left off after the last episode? Jessika: Sure. Last week we went [00:05:00] through the first years of the Marvel Catholic comics, how it got its start printing religious material, cue the power of asking that we keep discussing on this show, and who was involved in making these particular Comics. Our focal comics were the Saint series, comprised of the stories of St. Francis in Francis Brother of the Universe, Pope John Paul. I can't not do it that way. Mike: It's so good. Jessika: Pope John Paul II, and Mother Teresa. Oh man. Do we want to take a quick second and talk about the recent news? It was so timely about Mother Teresa. You wanna? You want to talk a little bit about that, Mike? I just had to talk about it. It was so freaking timely. Mike: Oh, absolutely. I think this happened a day or two after we recorded the article. So over the past couple of days there's been a number of stories that have come out, basically highlighting that [00:06:00] Mother Teresa was running a cult and I think the headline that I sent you was, “Are there still people who didn't know Mother Teresa was running an alleged cult?” And. Jessika: Cue. Mike: I think. Jessika: Cue me raising my hand. Mike: Yeah, I think this was a day or two after, after you and I had recorded and it just felt ridiculously timely. It was really funny. Jessika: Oh, serendipitous. Mike: No, she was not a good person by the increasingly numerous accounts that I've been seeing. She was quote unquote good by a very narrow definition that unfortunately it was kind of like what the media presented her as back then in the eighties. And since then, I mean, if she was operating today, there's no way that she would have received the Nobel Peace Prize. But. Jessika: Oh, no, absolutely not. Mike: But you know, we're talking, she received that 40 years [00:07:00] ago, so. Jessika: Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Oh gosh. Well, back to what we were talking about last week. After the St. series, after all of that wrapped up, Marvel seemed to decide to walk away from religious content after these winning Comics, we did however, land on a bit of a cliffhanger because Mike, you teased that they took another swing at religious comics in 1992. Mike: That is correct. So, to set the stage, the late eighties and early nineties were a massive boom for the comic book market. There was this huge speculation bubble that was going on, and as a result, Marvel and DC and other imprints were just seeing an unprecedented amount of success. On average, a lot of major books were seeing over a million issues in circulation, which, even today, they don't see. I think in 1991, X-Men number one, the new series that was [00:08:00] drawn by Jim Lee and written by Chris Claremont had something like 12 million issues move for the. Jessika: Oh. Mike: For - yeah. It's bonkers. And then shortly thereafter, the rug basically got pulled out from under Marvel's feet. So the early nineties really went from being awesome to really rough in almost no time flat. And that was because the company's top artists were freelancers and they weren't happy with Marvel's compensation plan. So they left and they founded Image Comics back in early '92. And that was essentially the top artists from really well-performing comics, like X-Men, Spiderman, Guardians of the Galaxy, and X-Force just to name a few, became Marvel's competition overnight. And DC was having some major commercial successes at the same time with events like the death of Superman, and Batman Knightfall, which is when he got his back broken. [00:09:00] So Marvel was suddenly scrambling to keep their share of the market in that light Christian book, publisher, Thomas Nelson, reaching out to former commercial partnership must have seemed like a, uh, well, for lack of a better term, a godsend. And up until that point, Evangelical Christian audiences were a largely untapped demographic outside of their specialty markets. Now that said, I haven't been able to find any old press releases from when this deal was announced. It honestly seems like both. Marvel and Thomas Nelson, would just like to have everyone forget about this whole venture since neither company mentions the partnerships on their sites. I can't even find them on archive or anything like that. Jessika: Oh, wow. Mike: That said - Yeah. It's, it's like buried pretty deep, but that said, I did find an article from Christianity Today, of all places, that fills in some of the details. So, it's kind of a long-winded meandering puff [00:10:00] piece, but there are a couple of relevant details. Would you do me a favor and read the first bit explaining why this deal came to be? Jessika: Sure. Some Thomas Nelson staff, whose young children were drawn to comics noticed there was little available from a Christian viewpoint. Realizing they did not have the resources in house, the publisher struck a deal with Marvel comics to produce a series of comics under Nelson's editorial direction. Using Marvel artists and writers that resulting comics would be marketed in Christian markets by Thomas Nelson and in comic bookstores by Marvel. Mike: Yeah, so, honestly, it sounds more like Thomas Nelson hired Marvel rather than the two were in a legit partnership. Thomas Nelson was even setting the price point for the books, which wasn't cheap. For reference the average Marvel comic cost $1.25 in 1993. The least expensive [00:11:00] Nelson comic, for its single issue Life Christ books, that we'll talk about a little bit, and each of those was going for $2.99, a pop. So that's almost $6 in today's money. Illuminator, which we're really going to talk about for a bit, was going for $4.99 a book, which means Thomas Nelson was expecting kids to shell out the equivalent of $10 bucks per issue for a comic with like zero name recognition. Jessika: Right. Mike: Yeah, and that's actually called out in the same article. Like Christianity today couldn't even give them a complete puff piece, they actually called out how maybe Thomas Nelson was a little bit high on their own fumes. If you'd be so kind to read that section as well. Jessika: The primary difficulty in selling the Illuminator to the secular comic book market is not the subject matter, but the price. As a book publisher, Thomas Nelson wants the comics to look as high quality and [00:12:00] book-like as possible. They have more pages than standard comics, carrying no advertising, and are printed using higher quality paper and ink than standard comics. Thomas Nelson likes to call them illustrated novels, a variation of the comic industry term graphic novel. Because of this, the 48-page Illuminator sells for $4.99. As one comic store owner put it, “that's a pretty stiff price for a comic with no well-known characters, artists or writers”. Yikes. Mike: When you can't even get to pull its punches for an article like this, that kinda says a lot. I feel, yeah, so I don't know what kind of marketing was done, but I haven't been able to find any ads for the Nelson comics in any of my Marvel issues from 1992 to 94, nor have I been able to track down [00:13:00] anything on the web. I mean, absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence, but it certainly seems like the partnership got rolling and then nobody really wanted to draw the attention to the end results. Which, based on what we've seen of the end result of the product, uh, maybe, maybe that's kind of understandable. Jessika: Big sigh. Mike: Yeah, that said, I do have the Illuminator comics in my collection and they are definitely higher quality in terms of production. Like, you know, the colors still pop they're definitely thicker. But, if I had seen this in the comic store, I would have blown right past it when I was kid. Jessika: Yeah. Mike: So speaking of Illuminator, do you want to give us an elevator pitch for that comic? Jessika: Oh my, well, if you insist. I mean, other than calling it a hot mess? Mike: Other than calling it a hot mess. Jessika: Okay. So this high school-aged [00:14:00] kid named Andy Prentiss goes to summer camp, is bullied a lot, and gets tricked into going into the forest in the middle of the night where he is abducted? Mike: It's pretty vague. Jessika: By a beam of light? Yeah. Mike: It's super vague. Like, they don't ever actually, we'll get into that. Okay. Jessika: It's very strange. And he, he somehow becomes the light? And has powers for no explicable reason? I know there are a lot of question marks behind my, my sentences, because that's how it feels. He gets semi-brainwashed by a local reverend and convinced that his powers are from God himself. Mike: Was he actually a reverend was, I thought that dude was just like a… Jessika: I don't know. Or maybe he was just a janitor. I don't know what he was. Mike: It's never really explained. Like. Jessika: I'm giving him a lot of credit. Mike: Yeah. Sorry. I derailed it. Jessika: That's okay. Well, he [00:15:00] convinced him that his power, whoever this dude was who worked at this church. He was always sweeping, he was probably a janitor you're right. Convince him that his powers are from God himself and that he is acting because God directed him to. But like slippery slope my dude. Thus, the Illuminator was created after that all of the villains are supposed to represent really obvious, evil being demon-like creatures, trying, and being mostly successful at tempting the public into acting sinfully. There isn't a great explanation as to why any of this happened, like we said, or is being aimed at Prentiss himself, who didn't seem to be very religious in the first place when this thing started? Mike: No, he was just kind of like an earnest, sort of naive teenager. Jessika: Yeah. But I'll tell you what there is, there is a healthy amount of [00:16:00] slut-shaming. So that's certainly exciting for me because, you know, I hate that bullshit. So. Mike: Yeah. It's definitely uncomfortable to read. Also, I wanna note that his superhero design for the Illuminator persona feels like a rip off of Long Shot, who was this popular character in the eighties who palled around with the X-Men for awhile. Like, here's what he looked like. Take a look, tell me what you think. Jessika: Oh, he even has the little star. Okay. This does look really similar to the other comic we read. He's wearing like a black kind of jumpsuit, but it could, it really could be a motorcycle jacket and pants. He's got boots on. He has a little bullet necklace or a bullet sash? Mike: I believe the term is a bandolier. Jessika: A bandolier, thank you. He has a bandolier, I'm cutting all of that bullshit out. He has a bandolier [00:17:00] and he's throwing, like, I don't know, a little, are those knives? Mike: Knives. Jessika: Oh, okay. Mike: He, like that's Long Shot's thing, is that his power is he's super lucky. He has slightly enhanced strength and hollow bones, which makes him a better acrobat. Jessika: Got it. Mike: And then his weapon of choice is he throws knives that basically he just can hit anything with. Jessika: The problem is they kind of look like sharp popsicles. Mike: Kind of yeah. Jessika: So. Mike: But yeah, I mean like Long Shot is one of my favorite characters. Jessika: Nice. Mike: And I was reading this book again and I was just going, oh my God, they added a helmet and then kind of removed the bandolier and added some extra padding and called it a day. He's even got the mullet. It's just a different color. Andy's a dirty blonde and. Jessika: Yeah. Mike: And Long Shot is platinum. Jessika: It's like three shades off, real close. Mike: So you gave a pretty solid summary of the comic itself. I gotta say [00:18:00] the comic series felt very unfocused. It doesn't feel like it really conveys much of a Christian message. Andy's powers are so vaguely delivered, as you called out, and there's no real specific link to Jesus or Christianity at that point. He only becomes the Christian super hero when he retreats into a church to escape, apparently a demonic opponent? Bu, the only reason that we know that he's demonic is because he doesn't want to go in the church. And then he gets a pep talk from this one-armed wise man who lives there, apparently. I feel like he still approached things in a very standard superhero way: punch first ask questions later. Did you notice that there was no trying to solve problems in a way that would result in anything other than a fist fight with powers? Jessika: Oh, no, it was just like, oh, there's a problem, I need to go beat someone up. That was absolutely the vibe. Mike: Yeah, I was genuinely surprised by that. I would have expected a little [00:19:00] more Jesus-inspired approaches such as turning the other cheek, or lifting people up who are suffering, things like that. But no, it was just a superhero fights with people or things that were designated as evil from an evangelical point of view. And I mean, we should talk about that. Like, each of the comics comes across a super victim-blamey. Like, there's that party where Nightfire, the first demonic entity, shows up and starts draining victims, and it shows they're all drinking or doing drugs or being slutty. Jessika: Yeah. They're at a party and there are girls on guys' laps and apparently, that's not good. Mike: Apparently, but then they all become Nightfire's sort of undead army. So it's that implication that sinful behavior leads to damnation later on. Um. Jessika: Okay. Mike: And then [00:20:00] in the second issue, the story paints college campuses out as godless places, full of temptation and being devoid of morality. So, they're susceptible to this mad scientist, who's splicing together weird animal human hybrids, which, I mean, that felt like something that was written by someone who has never actually been on a college campus. Jessika: Yes. Mike: And then the third issue was absolutely trying to link Satanism and Wiccan beliefs. I'm not crazy, right? Like that actually, that's how it felt. Like, Satanism and crystals, that they're just hand in hand. Jessika: Yeah, it was super gross. Mike: Yeah, it was really bad. I mean, the book only had three issues or illustrated novels or whatever they want to call it before it was canceled. So, I personally think that the probable lack of marketing that we discussed really hurt it, but it also seems like there were some production problems that caused it to be [00:21:00] delayed because the third volume has a cover date of August, 1993, but it turns out it didn't actually hit the shelves until February of 1994. I could not find sales figures for the months that the first two volumes came out, but the third issue doesn't even crack the top 100 issues being sold in the market when it actually hit the shelves. You brought up the slut-shamey aspect to it. And in the end of the third issue, it really felt uncomfortable where Andy was, these days it would be incel kind of logic, where he's really mad that the girl he saved didn't go to him. Jessika: That is so how it felt. I was just like pointing at you viciously right now, like, really aggressively. Mike: Yeah. When you were doing that, I was like, what did I do wrong? Jessika: Ya know that's exactly how it felt. It felt like he's like, well, I saved her and I'm the better guy. So she should just be with me. Mike: Yeah. And then. Jessika: He just expected it. It was gross. Mike: And then they kind of have a teaching moment where they're like, well, you know, that's not always how it works, [00:22:00] blah, blah, blah. And then she shows up to be another disciple of Christ or whatever, and blah. Jessika: Yeah. She's like, I broke up with that other guy. Mike: Oh yeah. That. Jessika: She's wearing a knee length skirt and like. Mike: Yeah. And before that she'd been wearing kind of form-fitting jeans and tank tops and. Well, the other guy, I can't even remember his name, but he was at the party. That's the only time we saw him. And he was basically trying to make it okay that everyone was drinking. So, you know. Jessika: Yeah. And then he was in the mall scene and he was like, trying to convince her like something stupid, something else stupid. Mike: Yeah. That was after they got returned to their bodies. That's right. I, I actually thought that she was the mom of one of the other characters originally because she had such a mom haircut and it was like, oh, it's kind of the sexy mom. And then oops. It was, the ages of those characters was very [00:23:00] ill-defined. Jessika: Agreed. Mike: And then, like I said, like this was clearly written by someone who had not experienced really anything of the real world, it felt. Nightfire is a drug dealer who just hangs out outside of high schools and tries to randomly sell drugs to kids? Like, my dude. Do you not understand how drug dealing works? Jessika: That's not how that works. Yeah. Your kids don't have enough money for drug dealers to be interested in them. And they're definitely not giving your kids free drugs. Like I know I say that a lot, but it's because I believe it a lot. They're not just going to get rid of their revenue. Mike: It was the same thing with that college campus, with the mad scientist professor who was, he was in a wheelchair for no really defined reason, he just was. And then apparently he's just creating an army of [00:24:00] man-animal hybrids. Which, again, I was sitting there and I'm like, man, I took biology classes in college and they were never this cool, like, are you creating an army of mutant supermen at your college? Yeah, sign me up. I'll pay that tuition. I'll take out a loan. Jessika: Well, and it was happening in this way that wasn't really logical, to where they were kind of meshing into this larger, like alligator with massive arms and walks around like a human, but then I don't know. It was strange. He was making them come apart with his, God-light. Like they could become two separate things. Again, it wasn't like he was chopping things up and sticking them back together or making a new creature. I don't really understand how this was supposed to be happening, from a scientific aspect. Mike: His powers were really, ill-defined like he, he could fly and he could shoot light. And then I guess, theoretically add super strength, but. Yeah, that whole, like God-light separating the things out, but then it turned out it killed them because they'd been bonded too long to get, I don't know, whatever [00:25:00] it was, it was fucking dumb. Yeah. So that was the thing was Trisha goes to a crystal store where it's apparently a front for a demon cult. And again, I'm like, I don't know, man, if I went to a crystal store and they told me that I could traffic with demons, I'd be much more likely to buy one of their ridiculously expensive geodes. Because I've been taken on a date to a crystal shop, because I was sick and my date wanted to buy me a healing crystal and I was. Oh, God, Jessika: That's, that is very sweet. Mike: I did not respond well to this. Jessika: I'm sure you did not. Mike: Which. I'm sure does not surprise you, but. Jessika: No. Mike: I'm just saying if he'd instead offered to induct me into a cult where they hung out with demons, I might've actually gone out for a second date with him. Hmm. [00:26:00] Do you have any more thoughts on Illuminator before we move on to our next entry? Jessika: I mean, I didn't care for this comic. Other than the first one that was establishing his origin story, it felt like the same story in each of the three issues. It was some demon character sucking the life out of people that were making bad choices. It was literally the same story each time, not even well masked. Mike: Yeah, exactly. Jessika: And, it was hard to follow and it was hard to figure out the incredibly vague, read not there, ties to Christianity that this character and his actions and powers were supposed to have, like we were talking about. It felt like a stretch at best. Mike: Yeah. They were just trying to shoehorn it in at the end where he would go talk to, the guy's name was George, I think, where he would go and talk to his mentor at the church. It felt like a very kind of vague, well, if you look at it this way, this could be your lesson from Jesus. [00:27:00] Jessika: Yeah, exactly. And you were bringing up another point that I also didn't like, they were just making fun of other religions, for example, naming someone Chakra, and mocking other spiritual practices with crystals, it was really disrespectful and in poor taste. Mike: Which, I mean, I can't say I'm really surprised given how evangelical culture typically goes these days. Jessika: Christianity, isn't the only religion and I'm tired of mainstream society being okay with Jesus-washing everything, and then being offended when any other religion is given any space. It's deplorable. Mike: Yeah. And then also, these stories just felt very lazy and dumb. The big one that I keep on thinking about is, again, that second issue where he's at a college campus and there's the mad scientist and it's revealed the mad scientist kidnapped a football player, like the star football player from the university's team, and then [00:28:00] turned him into, I think, the alligator hybrid that we were talking about. Jessika: Yeah. Mike: I was sitting there going my dude. You're mad that they pulled your funding. What do you think they're going to do to you when you remove their giant cash cow of college football from the campus? Jessika: Yeah, exactly. And like, do you not know the cardinal rule of picking people who don't have people looking for them? Mike: Right? Jessika: But, like, I'm not planning on doing anything bad and even I know that. Yeah. So, yeah. And other than just the audacity that Andy has making assumptions that he and Trisha are gonna get together based on the fact that he saves her from what he perceives as a bad situation. Mike: He's a nice guy. He is that proverbial nice guy trope. Jessika: Hint to everyone out there: Don't you ever slide into my DMS and say you're a nice guy, because you will be [00:29:00] blocked so quickly. Mike: On that note, what do you say? We move on to the next books in our discussion. Jessika: Let's mosey. Mike: So, I mentioned the Life of Christ comics that were single issues. These are the two issues that were put out to retail; the Christmas and Easter stories. They were both written by Louise Simonson and illustrated by Mary Wilshire, as well as Eisner award winner Coleen Doran, she apparently helped with the Easter issue. Simonson is a major name in comics alongside her husband, Walt. She co-created the character, Cable, from the X-Men; she helped launch the long running series, Superman, the Man of Steel; and she was one of the major stakeholders in the death of Superman storyline. And she also helped out, if I remember right, I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that she was a major [00:30:00] part of Walt Simonson's really acclaimed run on Thor, to the point where both of them appear in cameos in the original Thor movie. Like I think, I think they're both featured at the end when they're celebrating at the hall of heroes, or whatever it is. But it was a nice little nod because they created a lot of stuff like Thor: Frog of Thunder, and, Beta Ray bill, if I remember right. Likewise, Mary Wilshire did a ton of stuff for Marvel in the eighties and nineties. She was best known for her work on Red Sonja and Firestar. And then Colleen Doran, goddamn, she's this incredible illustrator who's worked on a ton of properties. I always associate her with Neil Gaiman's Sandman. So. Jessika: I just started reading that. Mike: Yeah, like all three of these women are Legit Big Deals, like capital letters at the start of each of those words. And that's why it's so weird to see their names in these issues. I can't believe how bland and [00:31:00] boring everything about them felt. Like, is that mean? Am I going out of line? Jessika: No. No. I'm surprised to hear about the acclaim that these illustrators have, because it felt very elementary. Am I supposed to have received this as a coloring book? Mike: Yeah, it's really flat, like, okay. So for comparison, here is a painting that Colleen Duran did for Sandman. Check it out. Jessika: Oh, wow. This is cool. Mike: Right? Jessika: Wow. Okay. There's a lot going on. So I'll just describe this really quick. There's a ton going on. So at the very top, there's a Swan couple swans, a swan and a, some sort of a harp, maybe a harpsichord thing. And you've got some planets and moons and a dude gargling some blood, it looks like. Mike: I [00:32:00] think that's supposed to be Orpheus. Cause he, if I remember right, he was Dream's son and then Orpheus is eventually ripped apart by the Bach the Bachinal. I dunno, whatever there. Jessika: And then there is a legit goth lady who has this amazing, I'm not too far into it, obviously, as you can tell. Mike: Right. So that is death. That is Dreams sister. I mean, Jessika: That's great. Mike: Yeah. If, if you're not too familiar with it, I don't want to spoil all the elements for this, but this painting features a ton of major characters from throughout the Sandman series, which she provided a lot of illustration for. And it's a beautiful piece of work. Jessika: It's a feast for the eyes, honestly. I mean, there's so many different elements, I mean, part of it looks like it's supposed to look like stained glass and other parts of it, don't look that same way. It's very interesting. Mike: Yeah. So it's very [00:33:00] much not what we got. Likewise, I want you to look at some of Mary Wiltshire's art, here. Jessika: Oh, wow. See, that's fun. Mike: Right? Jessika: Red Sonia. See, I want to read some Red Sonia. Mike: Yeah. The 80's series is fun. I think Marvel might have the rights back, because it's part of the Conan properties. Oh no, wait, I think Dynamite has Red Sonia. I don't know. You can probably find some books on Hoopla if nothing else. Jessika: This is great. I mean, the color vibe is great. There's all this shading, which there really wasn't in that other one at all. Mike: Yeah, I noticed that, too. It was just flat color, other than they used some crosshatching within the illustration, but that was kind of all they did, except for Jesus's hair. That was such a, like, it was a choice, I guess, they just, the only thing that had any sort of shading was, like, Jesus's hair looked like it was a tie dye masterpiece, so, [00:34:00] oh, wow. Mike: Both of these books feel very, for lack of a better term, very paint by numbers. Jessika: Yes, very much. So. Mike: I mean, we've all heard these stories before, too. There wasn't really anything new. The most exciting artwork for both of these books was on the cover. And, the one weird thing that really stood out to me, was that the Easter book felt kind of anti-Semitic, I don't know if I was just reading a little too much into that. Jessika: No, you you're. I've I read that too. Yes. Mike: I feel like there was an abnormal focus on making Pontius Pilate into not being the bad guy. And instead of keeping the blame on the Jewish elders, it felt very weird and very gross. Jessika: It did. Mike: And it's, I know that is an argument that is somewhat popular with certain extreme right-wing sectors of evangelical Christianity, too, is that the Jews killed Jesus, [00:35:00] which, I don't know how to respond to that. Like it, it just, just. Jessika: It felt very much like they were saying, yes, we know the Romans did it, but it's your fault, Jews. And it's like, what? No, no, no, no. Mike: Yeah. It was very uncomfortable to read. Jessika: Absolutely. Yeah. I agree. A hundred percent. The other thing that bothered me from the birth issue was the angels. Like, I've read what angels are supposed to look like. If it's not some beautiful human woman with wings floating down gracefully from the clouds. It is a terrifying multi-eyed creature that shows up in some really jarring way. The whole situation seemed way too peaceful for what I've read from the actual Bible. Like, I have read the Bible in its entirety. I was bored at [00:36:00] 13, don't ask, but yeah. So, but that's not the vibe. Like, people are always really terrified when angels come down and there is a reason. Mike: Yeah. And that's something that I remember is that when I was growing up, you know, I was presented with the very, kind of Renaissance style angels. And so I never understood when I was reading as a kid or having the stories read to me, why are people scared of the angels? Because you know, they're just glowing people with wings. And then later on it was, oh, oh, they're fucking monsters. They are, they are straight out of HP Lovecraft. Okay. I get it now. Jessika: Yeah. Because technically the humans are supposed to be the ones that are like, what? In God's image. There's nothing about angels being so. Mike: Nope. We're the, we're the mud people. Jessika: Yes. Mike: Well, moving on from that, aside from those aforementioned single issues, Nelson Comics published, [00:37:00] what was dubbed the Christian Classic Series, which are comic adaptations of kind of big name Christian literature. I was able to track down digital copies of the Pilgrim's Progress and In His Steps; What Would Jesus Do? Let's talk about that one first. I had actually heard of iIn His Steps before this, because it took that titular phrase and it kind of brought it into the popular culture. It was originally written in the late 19th century. It's basically about a reverend who is moved to challenge his congregation to use the question when making life decisions. It's a dry book and the comic was super dry as well. It just, it felt like a lot of expository dialogue set in late 19th century settings with a bunch of very prim and proper white people who, for the most part feel pretty monied and pretty privileged. Jessika: Yeah. Mike: There's occasionally some sort of [00:38:00] over-the-top situations where our Christian heroes are facing persecution, but it's like, it's made up persecution. It's that idea where Christians are like, we're the victims, people don't like us. And I think maybe because you're assholes, I don't know how to respond to that otherwise. Jessika: Yeah. Maybe it's not about your religion. Maybe it's just you. Mike: Yeah. If everyone's telling you you're an asshole, maybe it's not anything else, maybe it's just you. I agree. But yeah, it's just, it's a boring slog and it took me way longer than it should've to get through this. Jessika: They were awful. I'm not gonna lie. I read them, but I skimmed them because I couldn't sit there and like, let that infest my brain. Mike: No. There's also a sequel novel that they didn't adapt. Jessika: No. Mike: But basically, I think if I remember right, the sequel novel has Jesus actually showing up, like, it's like the second coming of Jesus. If I remember right. I Jessika: Man, they already got so close to that in this one, because they had that one [00:39:00] dude show up who is a scraggly stranger. And then the reverend has a dream that Jesus is actually lying in the bed and he's like, oh my God, it was Jesus all along. Mike: Yeah. Oh God, that was. Jessika: So heavy handed. Smacked me across the face with that message. Jeez. Mike: Oh, and what is it? The tramp has a daughter who the reverend and his wife take in to raise as their own. Jessika: Oh yeah. Mike: On what planet…? Jessika: Because apparently. Mike: Ugh. Jessika: No, it's awful. No, we all know that Christians don't care about the children once they're born. Mike: We, there are so many signs around my town, at least in our area because we live right near a Catholic church where it's the pregnancy crisis centers. And I keep on, resisting the urge to go spray, paint them or something, they're so gross. Jessika: Oh, we have the ones up that have a picture of a baby that say my eyes are formed after blah, [00:40:00] blah, blah days or whatever. Mike: Gross. Jessika: Yeah, I know they're awful. And every once in a while they do get spray painted. Mike: Good. Jessika: Obviously I have nothing to do with that, but I walk past and I go, okay. Yep. Yep. Yeah. Mike: Side tangent, completely unrelated to comics, but there was a Reddit post within the last year, I think, from some guy who was really upset about how his girlfriend would go and deface, the local pro-life billboards that would go up near their house. She would add things like citation needed for some of the claims, or just cross them out, or whatever. And he was saying, would I be justified in breaking up with her? Because I feel like, she's putting herself at legal risk doing all this. And literally every response was yo dude, you should break up with her and then give her my number because she sounds fucking rad. Jessika: Seriously. Oh my gosh. That's great. Mike: Anyway. Jessika: Hero of heroes. Mike: Yeah, the hero we need. [00:41:00] So, turning to the Pilgrim's Progress. This is a Christian allegory novel from the 1600's that's extremely surreal. I'd actually never heard of this book before now, and I had to do some basic research just to see how close they mirrored the plot. And I'm really bummed that actually, the comic is a pretty faithful adaptation of the source material. Which means there is a giant prose novel that is just this dumb and insane, but without at least the somewhat arresting visuals that we got. Jessika: It's basically Pinocchio. Mike: Yeah, I mean, it's not far off, except there's a second act where the dude's sinful family follows him, which. Jessika: Oh my God. They just kind of get abducted into the nether though. They don't do anything. [00:42:00] He's the one that does everything and then they're suddenly just there. Mike: Before we get into this discussion. It's about a protagonist named Christian, on his pilgrimage across this metaphorical landscape, where he confronts temptation and he learns, I don't know, moral lessons, I guess. I wasn't entirely certain about a lot of those, but whatever. And then after he makes it to heaven, his wife and kids follow him, because he couldn't convince them to come with him originally. This was written in the late 1600's, originally it is updated and adapted to what's supposed to be modern day, New York. And there's a lot of like really thinly veiled criticism being leveled at environmentalists for some reason, which I did not understand. Jessika: It was really strange. I don't know where that came from. I read that, too. Mike: Yeah. And then in the novel, after he makes it to heaven, confronting all these challenges, [00:43:00] his wife and his kids follow him. And then they have a sort of angelic guardian, who helps protect them along the way, who she shows up in the comic book, it's whatever, the kids, and this was actually kind of a weird diversion from the novel in the novel. The kids become adults throughout the journey, cause it's a long journey and they get married and they have families of their own. And so at the very end, they don't go with the wife, but they stay behind. And, basically they're living Christian lifestyles. And in the comic book for some reason, and it's not really explained well, they're left behind with their aunt who was also on the journey with them. And then the mom was just like, okay, bye. I'm going to go off to heaven now with your dad. Jessika: Yeah, he just like sticky handed her up there or something, like you earn the right to snatch your wife from earth. Maybe that was the rapture. Mike: Yeah, maybe. Well, and then at the very end, his friend, who was like, oh no, [00:44:00] you know, we're, we're doing our part. We're recycling and taking care of the planet. He's denied access to heaven by St. Peter for some reason, that's not really explained. Jessika: Which was so strange. Like, yeah, please, don't recycle friends. What, what a strange takeaway from this whole thing. Mike: It just, it feels kind of like this religious acid trip with occasional detours into misogyny and racism. Correct me if I'm wrong. Jessika: Not at all. Very, very same page as you. Mike: The one piece of praise that I can offer these books is that they definitely have the best art of the Nelson comics line. Jessika: It was decent. Yeah. So I found for both of these comics, both In His Steps and the Pilgrim's Progress, unsurprisingly, they keep replaying the same messages that have been consistent with these comics: be faithful against these huge temptations that are supposed to bombard you every day. I would expect there to be women and men of loose morals [00:45:00] falling at my feet to tempt me constantly is all I'm saying, like, let's make it happen. Disappointment. Mike: I'm, I always see these things talking about like women have loose morals or, or ill-repute, I clearly was not hanging out in the right neighborhoods. Jessika: That's what I'm saying. Mike: Yeah. Bums me out, man. Jessika: There's always some messages about staying on the path of God, which is always very vague and sometimes literally a path, which come on. And Beelzebub constantly shows up, because the only real villains are the devil and your inability to resist temptation, apparently. Once again, though, didn't see any queer people, which is fine because the Bible really doesn't say anything about them anyway. And I guess God didn't really start hating us in mainstream media until later on then. Huh? Mike: Man, I don't know. I mean, [00:46:00] like, there's that whole thing about Sodom and Gomorrah, and how we're all sodomized or whatever, but I don't know when, when it became really okay for Christian people to hate on the gays. Jessika: Yeah. I don't know. They need to step back. Oh, did I say that out loud? Mike: Yeah. Jessika: They're right behind me, aren't they? Mike: Not yet, at least. Jessika: And also, why is it such a theme that these main characters, low key become cult leaders every single time Mike: Right? Jessika: It's like, yikes, Catholicism, have some awareness about what a cult-vibe you give off, just like, generally. All in all, the religion is so forced in there that the plot lines of these stories rarely made any sense. It felt like the comics were a game of tug of war, trying unsuccessfully to write a cohesive storyline while still shoehorning in religion, which ultimately caused the comics to feel frenzied and disorganized. Mike: Yeah. On top of that, these are just [00:47:00] so dry. They're so dry. I get the Thomas Nelson was trying to adapt, quote unquote, major works of Christian literature. But, I can't think of anyone who really reads these books, let alone kids. I'm not really familiar with the whole Christian allegory genre of fiction, but there's gotta be better stuff out there than these books. I know the Thomas Nelson for this line, they also had CS Lewis' Screwtape Letters turned into a comic, I couldn't find it to read, but I'm kind of wondering why they didn't try adapting some of his other work, like the Lion, the Witch, the Wardrobe, you know, Aslan is very much a Jesus' allegory and - Jessika: Yeah. Mike: It just, it doesn't make a lot of sense not to do something with more name recognition. I mean, hell, Thomas Nelson has an entire collection of fictional books in their catalog. I just scoped out their website today, and I don't understand why they didn't do a comic adaptation of something from there. But, [00:48:00] don't know, I guess that probably would have required extra effort involving research and the author's permission. And it seems - Jessika: Oh no. Mike: Like no, I mean, that, honestly, that seems like more work than the publisher really was interested in committing to this whole endeavor. Jessika: Fair. Mike: You know, and unsurprisingly, the Nelson comics imprint wasn't long for this world. And it was abandoned by 1994, reportedly due to low sales. Between the quality and the apparent lack of marketing and also the high price points, I can't say I'm surprised. I did find it really funny when I was looking at their website, they have some limited edition of Dracula on their website and Shakespeare, and I'm like, those things are not Catholic friendly, or evangelical friendly. Are these edited, are these just like, did he just decide to do like limited edition reprints? I don't know. Jessika: That's interesting. Mike: Weirdly though, Thomas Nelson's recently gotten [00:49:00] back into comic books with Bible Force, which was a comic or a graphic novel that went on sale this year. Here, take a look at this cover, just check it out and tell me and me what you think. Jessika: Yeah, let's see. Oh, oh, wow. Mike: Right? Jessika: Okay. So, who's supposed to be the dude in the middle? Mike: I don't know. I don't Jessika: Okay. So there's like some dude, there's some dude in the middle, he's got a sword, and it's thrusting out towards the viewer. There's. What is it? Joseph and his Technicolor coat, I'm assuming that's what that was. Um, Mike: That's what it looks like. Jessika: Uh, it's what it looks like. It's a color, her coat there's there's Noah's Ark. There's definitely Jesus with arms outstretched. Although, of course, white Jesus, because why be historically accurate? All of these people are Caucasian. I might add in this entire comic, all of these people were Caucasian, except for a very few in the Jesus [00:50:00] episodes. And those were just people from far away, quote unquote, everyone else was very, very light-skinned. Mike: Also, if you're going to give us white Jesus, can you at least give a shirtless white Jesus? I want to see some washboard abs. Jessika: That's what I'm saying. Mike: Right? Jessika: That's what I'm saying. So yes, this is just, it's very exciting. Says, Bible Force, the First Heroes Bible. I think that's Probably. Mary as well on the front. It's a woman also Caucasian, and she's got a head scarf of some sort on, it's pink, which they absolutely had magenta back in Bible days. I am sure, absolutely feasible. I'm there. Believe it. Isaac Mizrahi's in there like designing, designing Mary's outfit. Oh honey, you're going to look great in this. Mike: He is all about the [00:51:00] timeless looks, isn't he? Jessika: Yes. Mike: So, I mean, that's the Nelson comics. Short-lived imprint. Do you have any final thoughts? Jessika: Well, can't say I'm surprised that these didn't continue on. I can't imagine that they were really keeping kids' attention, or giving them any type of cohesive and thoughtful messages. Mike: No. I mean, probably not. I don't think many comic retailers were carrying them either because this was right at the height of my teenage collecting years, and I don't remember seeing any of this stuff in any of the shops that I frequented. Jessika: Yeah, it was pretty much like here: look at the colors. Oh, and have some antisemitism, enjoy. Mike: And some casual misogyny. It's fine. Jessika: Yes. Yes, exactly. Mike: If you could sum up the titles from this imprint [00:52:00] in one word, what would you use? Jessika: Confused. Mike: I was going to go soulless, but that's also good. Jessika: Oh, yours is better. Mike: Now is the time of the show where we discuss our Brain Wrinkles, which is the one thing comics or comics-adjacent that has been just stuck in our head for the last couple of days that we just want to talk about. I guess we should talk about the recent Highlander casting news. Would you like to take that away? Jessika: Oh, oh certainly. Certainly. Oh my goodness. So, during our Highlander episode, Mike, you mentioned that there has been a Highlander reboot in the works since 2008 Mike: Yep. Jessika: And we were speculating on who would be good to cast. Well, there is a reboot in the works, but we were both incorrect about casting, and sorry about that, Chris Pine and Channing Tatum, because either of you [00:53:00] would have been most fabulous in this role, but it landed and it turned out to be Henry Cavill who will be our new next Highlander. And I'm sure he'll have a new name because that's kind of how we trend with the Highlander series, which is good. Mike: Yeah, they haven't announced the actual role that he's playing yet, but it's assumed that he's going to be the MacLeod who's the main character. Jessika: I would think so. Wouldn't it be interesting if he was like the Kurgan or something that would be really funny. Mike: Yeah. I think I mentioned this, supposedly Bautista is going to be the Kurgan, but that he'd signed on, I think back in 2015. So it's been six years since then? Jessika: Well, I have to say though, I'm not all that upset about this turn of events. What about you, Mike? Mike: No, not at all. I just tore through the Witcher series on Netflix last week, over the course of a couple of days while I was working, I had it on in the background. And it was really nice to see Cavill in a role that wasn't [00:54:00] Superman, which is, you know, I use the term, unfortunately, he is just so associated with that role right now. And, honestly, I like him as Superman, I just wish they gave him better scripts and movies to work with. Jessika: Yeah. And it's hard to feel typecast as well. You don't, you know, you don't want to be Daniel Radcliffe, you know, playing Harry Potter for 20 years and then not being able to do anything else, although he's done very well. So I, can't say that. Mike: I was going to say I actually really - Jessika: You know, not a good example, I suppose. Mike: I love the choices that the Daniel Radcliffe has made since Harry Potter, Jessika: Yeah, me too. Mike: He has chosen so many insane roles. It's great. Jessika: Yeah. Mike: Um, yeah, no, like, you know, honestly, Cavill. First of all, I just, I really like Henry Cavill, like, he's given the interviews where he's talked about how playing Superman makes him want to be a better person, because he is portraying this character who is a role model for so many, especially the little kids. And that just [00:55:00] makes me really fond of the dude. Jessika: That's so sweet. Mike: He seems like another Chris Evans, and I'm, fine with that. That said, he is fucking grumpy in the Witcher, and it's really fun. He basically just has this very surly charisma throughout the entire show. And he's still jacked, but he's not as yoked as he is for the Superman rules. Like he doesn't look like a bodybuilder, he just looks like an incredibly fit dude, and I'm fine with that. Also, he does action scenes really well. The guy who's handling the reboot is Chad Stahelski, who did the John Wick movies. Dude knows his way around an action scene. And if you ever want to see an example of Henry Cavill in good action scenes, watch the Witcher or the Mission Impossible movie that he was in, where he literally does that thing where he reloads his arms and then puts up his Dukes. I can watch that scene on repeat for hours. It's great. Jessika: Nice. I'll have to watch that. I haven't seen the Witcher [00:56:00] yet. Mike: Yeah. It's fun. We'll talk about that later on, but it's good. I really liked it even coming into it without having any real familiarity with the games or the books that it's based on. Also, I got to say that Highlander heart group that we were in, some of those people were grumpy at the casting. Jessika: Yes. Some people were very grumpy. It was, it was a mixed bag. Some people were very excited and some people were very, very, very grumpy. Mike: And even - Jessika: Okay. Mike: To their credit, even the people who were unhappy, weren't toxic, like in some other groups we've seen. Jessika: Oh, correct. Yes. That was very refreshing, cause, you know. Mike: Yeah. the backstory to your listeners is that we have been a part of other Facebook groups that are just heinously toxic nerd culture groups. And we swipe left pretty quick when we're in there. Jessika: Yeah, I don't want to feel like I can't like things or I don't want somebody telling me the amount of a fan. I am the type of fan I am. Mike: Exactly. Jessika: Gatekeeping is awful. Don't do it. Mike: Yeah, don't be a jerk, [00:57:00] I have to say the news that has been coming out about the reboot for Highlander sounds pretty promising. So fingers crossed that it doesn't suck but, we'll see. Jessika: Yeah. Mike: I believe that's it for this episode, so we'll be back in two weeks, and until then, we'll see y'all in the stacks.

strong family owned hey mom overplayed his hand is warning him for penguin he wanted ridler and I was the other rumor that wanted more than you know I mean I you know it's one of these great aspects of of the Hassi history that earthquake hit thing that literally no one asked him well now the people are snow about him to come back not swimming in money you can play with you all this like crows you're right now that you think about it I was like Oh my God they literally just switch animal it made it to they did you know except for the title cat woman I mean there's no proof even that Halle Berry Linney Travis not that out of the park and hunger game and all right but then again the bear Moore's aren't that now just very scripted instead on your stop lease I could see I don't like to the script the cat woman was even in the DC version is all they did all they do is I took the script from the crow and put in a cat ed I remember I remember the trailer for cattleman start off saying like when you die spirits carry to the under all by a cat yeah I love across by the way I knew I mean the only movie ever the book is I never say the book better always in the movies better this one time where it will say absolutely the comic book is better than it did level legacy of Halle Haley well you know you know hopefully the legend okay jail it's all right he'll hopefully you got a nickel off of that yet I I still like the movie but man this is such a better story that's granted the comic book is probably less than than the movie which is kind of of course good it's GonNa be alright well she wasn't a cow he had a whole different name funding take me they made a tape they made four movies four movies not one that you know and he always as soon as someone asks that I liked about the book was the book teases the idea that the whole story could be Detroit so anymore it's over but I'm Living Zoe Kravitz cattleman hitched that because he kind of looks like Sir you really really defined the role and I loved how to be fair I mean I actually did see the movie I I did love the movie and I went and I found the book and it was just like Oh my God in fact because it was so good even after having very they say you know what if we get another another asking American lady that would be really awesome and now did you hear element it's wonderful I really complete opposite I usually the comics or the bulk is better than the movie and it's just like I think for the crow on the opposite I like the movie better it's like if you just if you just watch the movie and like during the comic like you don't even know the name of the main bad guy unless you look in the end credits yeah guys are always offensive out there I mean those are like ten dollars a Taylor is going to a rave right now a revenge fantasy that aired driven is heavy or just Eric didn't have named books having as dying name Okay Sleep Apnea Harley yeah both I might mean meeting Tom on Sunday oh cool we are how how things are not cinema go you know it's it's a much more personal story it's kind of it's the kind of story that was Martin Scorsese would make interest what do you think it is just that under five hundred that is looking at camera who is that is that Tom Welling Tyler Patrick you know on the phone yet making a comic book movie scene it's GonNa go anywhere he will you that's the thing is Martin Scorsese will make a comment the earth too yeah because blacks are hiring yeah but okay so they mixing before that Robert Queen was the man the man is that always the way the man gone down that's right man keeps you down fill man keeps whatever you kind of discovered I you know what I mean is one of those things and I I was more familiar with the prominent grew okay so a crisis and insurance so they killed Batman or something about how the cactus secular we already had a damn besser crazy in the crow movies I'd have but it's like they're really like no one calls them and they don't call them by name he doesn't call himself by name it's just like than the movie I mean the movie is is good but it's a completely different story than the comment is such a deep personal story the hood wheelers of earth too and there's no dialogue about him dying or returning her any at some point but he was still thought the hood I didn't know if he got it well yeah maybe Adrian Shaved Porn Roy any Portland neighborhood say oh well yeah but it is weird that like Oliver's didn't say anything about Robert or anything wing plan so in my store like I guess these are like magazine cover like magazine bags or something Oh okay so you got bags the God loves man kills will graphic now but he's bigger than the other ones too though too so that was the one thing that kind of threw me about and then they didn't even touch on like so Harry Jesse quick now dead too they me I'm wondering if he just came back for incident crisis and then he's gone after crisis go controversial opinions Oh here in the end yeah so I'm talking about that unexcited the dance well we get any owner forget any China you know something I thought it'd be neat like no we don't have I'm actually interested in meeting sue and Ralph you give them an VW Moseley because he mentioned I happen to he mentioned sue and happened to go and find her and I would rather do that storyline for you know Kinda get so I have a question for Lois and Phil Okay so was that I don't know I miss something on Arrow was that I think it's about time my dad loves man kills here but I think it's about the same size I think they said this is like wider than in the graphic novels that's what we used to call them back in the graphic novels it will big plus the whole thing so I did notice that the joker highly that I got was kind of a different side they do with with Brennan leaving Superman their minds I don't know I'd so you're right it is the canaries because you need a black Canary Yellow Canary Siren series well female green and yet flat flash forwards on the show it's going to be him and felicity daughter yeah the backing of like if you hadn't read the company didn't really know the history I can give you say that Oh boy no I think he's going to be recurring every so often this then they may be a whole in series he has no room I saw that are they like stuffing in suit aw thank you Louis thank you because that was what I said when they announced that way healthy and so I get okay some of that I just want to focus on the flash housing would on trump did they didn't they announce that they're doing Arrow Yeah Tony Artisan earthlings his when Superman can travel in the past boop might drop visioned bear God on the flash CISCO IS IN COSTUME YEAH still salary that he did that I think it was selfish and it was a dick move oh I looked like in foam reverend there that's allowed how lex luther became good and that his descendant went into space over time go the last luther the L. 00:20:48 - 00:20:50 dropped just became an by the way it's it's killer frost I don't care about that story man I get more about this than I do Caitlyn bite me again that's really on who actually hear about vibe anymore so he can't like feel in the by an earth is destroyed one else was saying he's getting his powers back then and if you look at the number the old wonder how leads any of that is the last two

going to be excited but do you think Los Shriek Lady bummer maybe maybe the name of the show he was not Mormon sign I'm wondering Shriek has yet sonic powers yeah that's kind of a I don't know it was passed it's like birds in the fate don't eat how the Clinton everybody got heard book while naked or play online to somehow we can make it work anywhere on the big Christmas it was I love potatoes so when I saw that it was like potato games they yes this is for knee pick the right one so yes big potato B for target they're not sponsors we will take your money to you like the man who just send us more game especially that target actually reminds me not to say mark waits on a fantasy girl orders is pay he mentioned the important stuff like this askelon anyway buying Leeman yeah I think it's just telling the kids stories but we're GonNa get the whole discussion there targeted ads channel. 00:23:30 - 00:38:19 Leon Yeah we check out twenty has such a great gain are now once you go to buy that game said love that game to your local target into a mini series they were just like ongoing one shot nobody cares played out I don't think that they under Dan the cycle is other things finding their burn heraldic they burn deadpool out you know when they had to like they put her in everything hang out and then then Margot Robbie well I think diplomas we've only got a little bit over yeah if we would they would use issues you know I like to get you issues and then I can make an honest decision about the fullest but it's live action in the head to pay for it someone's getting naked role overnight for the next the premiere episode of Star Girl and didn't let on CW special event and then it was like for the rest of the series check out the petition do on he'd have you actually they almost only last like my my or jokes constantly thank you thank you yeah I mean I like the older the hard series did they are they still pretty that is men beyond beyond Harlequin both both among recall any hardware that show me your Harley I hope that star girl is more in a family ask nist though would like to watch it with my kids you know like the issue and I would grab it so I got two issues which I really love but you know very read that I like to put a book on the Pulis before thing and bring her back to form yeah give us an Eerie Harley Quinn nine she's out super no I have no idea what was my full lift so it was always just oh it's a new so you think you think you think they'd be dropping commercials every every commercial break for DC is that they take yeah but we're putting yeah but we're going to pay money for Disney plus and they're not going to be giving us that are they I want Old Lady Hurry I go GimMe Gimme party inside show me your book Old Lady Harley or do you mean the one from everything else is on DC universe words doomed already patrol or you know tightened were they don't tell the little questionable that'll have like a little kid around you know and quality content graphics you'll get yet well look for when it will mm-hmm did you guys hear about star girl she's got to be on the CW it Kinda makes sense if we're going to be like kind of touching into that small bill for Disney they've got the prestige label to to make the demands I think it's like if you're in yeah you know what I have I don't know that that's necessarily the case but more to the point they're gonna be giving us some good content give us under alimentary here's a sailor watch more episode with me but she did she was excited to see Robin so here's the rule if it's exactly friendly over at Tcu sure but that's how Tom Hardly animated that's definitely kid friendly something yeah language other sectors violence it's never salty later pay if you're paying pride in South Jersey man you can go down to Cape May it's almost tropical it's very nice almost tropical hello we're on our house April you don't see every five minutes you gotta find the next but I don't think we thought well that's not true all right I'm back next time Tom I will I will all right yeah let's talk some the harake lights are for what it's worth for what it's worth yeah I mean any it would it be nice if they did Komo deadpool one this'll be pg the worst and ever it's not GonNa be on DC universe moon at the bank just like I thought they'd never moved Willet I've been talking about war Ville the last four books yes this issue or the CDs you know humans are you know we have not come reply rope the IRA yeah but we let certain things we're GonNa pay our money NBC or how about what he calls his Co worker in the apartment now kind of desensitized and so ours union people who have found joy in the word of Avis and are trying to get back to crawl space I love a racist worshiped worship is the world the word of Avis is the head of the series for those who remember from last month there is a group of Eh really I mean the pluses like we'll give you like it shall never know bitcoin lay on the beach and the garbage global warming nowadays we barely get snow North Jersey anymore I got a piece spoiler venire gets shot in the head so and they did linger on it in kind of a grotesque way so that went on they were talking about they were talking about justice society on their Jay Garrick so it makes I mean where do you have a guarantee of what will be interesting they did something they did the pilot about it yeah well you know zoom patrol not watch with the kids swamp thing I'm not watching the kids Titans Titans are in the Solomon Oh car agency so awesome they may view on the show well yeah no they make the joke they they make very racist jokes he's like you gotTa Get Outta Love Florida as you all know the difference yeah go to Jersey let's just it'll be the same just colder Bob Bob is anywhere in the world guy you know it's a single vowel too hard consonants on either end and oh but of course we go there God's name's Bob what a stupid name for God God not like Jehovah That's a God thing able to pronounce it worked at Virginia now it should be something we can pronounce it should be very hard to pronounce it should be something yeah I mean I was born though maybe a little bit violent is that like I I don't see how you're like an art in the golden bears get your mouth overlords all you want from what its word how y'all know the rule no princess we have we have a South Jersey too titan fighting okay someone's getting no well spent language then maybe worse than anyone you're a bad parent like me your kids love that so yeah you put your on the job under some some some some of these species may have more vocal cords than we do but then it'd be but it's still going to be how we hear the word you know the joke is really anew that you are just sitting there looking at some stupid context of the joke they do as you would like to book stories why can't you pay attention like Charlie asks does ever be I don't know and this is oh look at this that makes you look stupid this is Charlie this is a series being written by humans so it's like you could name the race and again an actual you can write it anything term for Bob for God in in in a lot of fantasy novels and you know that you know at some point they call God it it just it's AC- race so you can make fun of them has oh hey that word sounds like a word that we have in our in our in our context yes when you're looking for that purpose in a religious ideology how first off some people can exploit that and people when I'm sorry daddy don't beat anymore la it's good because it does come down to this idea of why insane okay if you make this so it's like you know if you fight and so as an example you know you have you have Bob as us you know it's like no it's Avis you know but we can't hear that so you know we're the idiots that's the point in a language you don't even speak to make it there you go it's an alien greg which we shouldn't even be able to pronounce the name of their God or why shouldn't you be her out of the aggie w our who's making that no lives that's their course Zimmer was last time this hi pal it's Kinda thing Phil it's like there's only so many waged Combined sounds to make words some of them are going to sound Gordon Avis why is Jehovah that hard for you know but I mean how can you pronounce another language completely different lately they can produce significant four continents outside of our vocal range that is part of the name of Avis that we can't even here okay thank and why should that make you want to do evil if you do evil in the name of something good than it couldn't have been that good to start with so oh comedy Oh town but is it though style but it's still earth it's not a completely different planet in a different you know well yeah but how many bowel sounds do you think there are really the ads for books coming up from a dark horse you've got Count Crowley which is like really great and so now any kind of lives up to the height that's auto four part two of to the word of eight so they doing more ed to review on this but somebody you sure you didn't do it on your pants we might have talked about it at least one or two on superconductivity take it too far and other people can say you know if it is if it's if your faith is true if this really does give you purpose why should you care what other people it's really good as always like I say it's you know norval is a good movie TV series I can't see it on okay little from any book throughout I had no idea what the book is about but it's called strayed adding it's like some kind of cosmic cat and the Wacky nece that it indigenous the President Superman okay else I'm just saying nothing can be wiling other language violence and sex or like a daily thing while even on just on the news the kids are taking mischievous I tried to do it even if it's like this mobile it did fine okay did you read tales of the dark from the door multi verse Batman in a day you know where Bain Breaks Batmans back like you read that original might fall unlike Azriel was never that deep of thinker he wasn't a big planner he was basis krone which looks cool but it's like the third in a series I'm not sure I'm GonNa pick it up and just in this one actually this one of my favorites is okay why she doesn't like working memory I got union I got tonight I don't think it's growing and evolving time I guess okay lecturing about yes I in the Orville yeah haven't orb atomic so yeah some women these relive all the editor course you know it's like we're Batman didn't come back after nightfall you know as real took over Gotham and then it's like thirty years later in like here's like this whole system set up with lieutenant we see universe or something Kinda Cross promote because I'm hoping star girl commercial the books is reverse flash but he's the black flash in the TV show I don't need like the dark multi-diverse yeah did you read that one yeah it's weird I don't like it the album universe somehow or without paying off the money that goes with it but I mean I just love at the end of this I mean we see that wall these kids auto to worry about that here is in crisis yeah I never about but no nightfall I mean it was decent but it's like so do you think that's wanted to maybe joked about because they did name Avis I mean they could name it anything so put on them yes there's a comic book of Orrville UN low of none of your book. 00:42:33 - 00:47:01 I did not I think as you might pick it up it's theory on is very much in the vein the trash is just a one shot now the reason the dot the dot multi verse I'm just like Yeah Yeah Okay Anyway let's see one mix well if they are always they always have at least two then running concurrently everyone marvel DC Medellin's original I'm surprised no middleman haven't haven't gotten the DC universe series yet Outlook yeah but but that's the whole problem like read-end ritual nightfall because they've been reprinted Batman for four ninety seven as like a dollar specialist we and patients needs love sets so want centers all men originally showed up in the books when wally was still the flash so on that or a miges too I some other here's came from another earth they were supposed to be more here's yeah they're like after the success of doom patrol at I gotta say that wow you know I think that's like the next logical step for them you know they might also of late night laughs I'm good I'm good walt rush forward to is kind of tied into that has like while traveling you know with the with the Hukou clarity of the crystal gems kind of like this idea of show you know you can do a story where we're making up what the qualities of metal art and then something like a really good young thunderball commerce Threaten it Dan also you know characters that embody it so you know I'm just saying this is Italian they're definitely agree like a lot in the thousands can stop basically running off them instead of Batman and just like if you read the original nightfall like Azra wasn't her systems a little better a high voltage board of of of Omni corpse yeah what else is kind of alive I know now I love that it's wally but it's I don't know I guess I can make it up to the wally fans for what they did have like a last ditch us it has a has a very fundable feels that she might have picked it up so this is the middlemen in the dark universe or multi verse Oh yeah very much so we I was on Amazon videos won't be able to pick it up insteps even those Dan he actually did a really good job I really enjoy the art bashing interesting story but I I don't I really enjoyed it but it also has to do with dark multi verse two titles can never nothing Amazon is giving their money from me I don't see why they're gonNa make it hard for me to use their products up maybe because we got the first one was going to chat and then it's like oh there's another one won't cool also I really want to give a quick shout out to all of the amazing thank you might have been like Halo fucking interesting Luke Warm Oh yeah but she got me interested not any of the unit NBC. 00:47:01 - 00:48:00 At Very I can't think of one thing I'll show law and order Svu that's the only thing that I said I will ah these these punts now they get cartoons every day oh voted just the ball feel and we do have you did it that system in his head so maybe that I will always be the master they're always they famed their own death during the boom work and they are high rand I do miss that my childhood was the best everybody else can go home cry ashes behind the black because he got greedy in the comrex tournament tournament for the Brash but he was zoom he was wearing a black cost number one. 00:48:00 - 00:47:27 Let's let's discuss okay what the freaking happen so cyclops has you will everything dark universe that you know you've heard of multi verse make up your mind DC it's it live that's it that's our loved grouch delay the growed are you didn't see the growth I was gonna say the only know NBC is law and Order Svu and like you know Saturday night if you've got nothing else they will turn on Saturdays it's kind of like having a rule comcast I mean it's probably not now but you know enough money need help I can get it on there for you can you know I know there's something I watch NBC but I couldn't tell you what it is I think that's the only thing anybody that I know what wrestling's on NBC. 00:47:27 - 00:52:15 I mean the affiliate universal the world doesn't revolve around you love Oh it'd be wrong old white men in Shirley has one a- and Wolverine is living with with Scott Gene Bronco Thirty Oh yeah okay yeah I those fantastic cyclops and like like the the summers family has like a House on the moon by right by the Blue Area the moon o'clock Wolverines Batman and Robin but rolling cyclops I would ship it more than I should will R- energy oh good to know good to know because I'm like I can break yeah wins that these are Disney plus will not be on Amazon fire is that true the cartoon like Cortina might be easier than Lebron yeah yeah yeah but they just seem like the at and T. Warner Brothers Ron with you ehlo Time Warner not a thing if gone doc wallet voices Mac GonNa Be Permanent Good -re definitely if Charlie just knock himself off or talking about excellence down the button this video make friends you know so if I saw the money goes I got I don't know what shall I even watch on the I like my hobby I just don't hardly plant I don't think that maybe it's less that hardly quit his ooh that is the best at what he does what I do when I do Hello we all do I know it's like kind of the point of it being a problem where it doesn't matter who the red headed would it be added I've never gotten attention that they show like I don't get it have tension with professor x even though as grows increasing has a thing for redheads at the time they got around the berry they're just they had the wall they play the whole thing in the season to the flash at first they made you think he was gay garrick and then he turned on his mind AWW EXCI- it'll be you know and you couldn't get sci-fi for a couple of weeks and then I got size you know anthro that thunderheads and power rangers and all that stuff have a great resurgence in that the cycle of Sidecar News Bert multi rather but it's Kinda is the way they made it visited no he got the replace them with asking me about why Hunter Solomon as you can finish is the all the all the short homicidal all of Anti Heroes have things were redheads Wolverine Wealth you're well it says so bad it's it's not a pump ever think for a red it's like if a red wig on a map the older dude doug any with actual source ruining by Jennings in your magic Oh yes jennings now Bob Jennings isle to see more of that's eight that that's true yes weird because guessing obviously Jean Grey is using her intense mental powers to manipulate everyone melanie but when you start like a like make you do things I can convince you that that was your ibn the whole time that when he Berlin three exit attack no I'm just saying is play I'm Bob Jennings because he's brilliant doug you see if you're an old man like me you know who got done any as you know it is this what you're saying because mind control is a super villain our Phoenix airport is in he like he had he had a whole disciplinary hearing about the whole thing was still alive so bright La control them on just reading minds it's invasive and it's creepy but it's not really super the thing is Dr Strain here but I mean the other you know and let's not forget senior Magic Oh Korea thorough series right now like partly they're like power man and Iron Fist Jessica Jones Moonlight shut while midnight show up next issue in here weans the weekly Halloween story things making good admitted good observation about the guys who are like you know I guess in this violates every previous candidate of Nikolas that all the X. 00:52:15 - 00:51:36 men are just crazy nut butters now it's just like a excuse to do you can come back well I think that's the thing it's like a whole cloning process he now it's like they're not right or whatever now I mean it's like they said all right so we'll if you're current on X. 00:51:36 - 01:04:25 Men Charlie read some house acts and powers of x get where the you have to figure this out like why but like their personal space but then like wolverines living with them doing genetic Mike Chicks these Georgia or your local meetings are looking for that you know that poor stormtrooper take in contagion we'll even though they're all acting weird all of a sudden containing which is also a great way like the way they're going about it is okay we're here we're here like it or not you know get get the out of our way if you don't like it you know here we come trying to go but are you talking about like I don't like is anyone picking up like villain Bob some or all these X. men everybody yes the character driven story instead of a punch Mer in twenty eight but but again and again the premises sound it's like you know trying to you know establish themselves as this power and it's like there's a way to do it but it just seems I'm channel incorporating my book who wasn't Creek Coa actually villain like in the original the this particular book that he more character driven than it's like well if you focus on gene sure but staten will reader just like I might have no personality Geico specific that's happening right now and I don't think that Hickman had the actual firm grasp of it kind of one of those it didn't understand yeah where they threw out some exactly what you always say about the mind control and yeah I think they were can you actually writing just wanted to love them he was ever get the name but it was so what it's one thing to be it's not it's okay to be lonely and the human contact it's not okay to demand Smith show up I think well if you remember thought they threw out a line in neither house of extra powers of x was like oh we thought it was evil but it's Oh this is a a search I remember I think the whole go to Cholla because there's a problem you know that's the only difference ourselves on so impede alcohol I'm thinking Hellfire become the marrying type all too human contact no matter how lonely you are hardly seen Harvey I mean one man's terrorist is another Nancy yeah yeah what it's all about control again the loop our Ooh out because you really you know here's the thing lovely was if you have the power to control people's minds that you say that 'cause I'm like yeah I didn't want to let you go if he poops cocaine does that mean in love it isn't even really a relationship or is that a quid pro quo or is that it depends all humanity basically though the human beings close wrong Nelson relationships I enjoy the myself but the fact that America's is that you know when you they clearly you built wrong wrong no you bet is not a hard barter it really interesting situation you find yourself our face will help are basically the best relationships with the ones you sound horrible everybody's saying a lot of things about absolute conscious number four building picking picking up they pay what is and where you actually don't see a opted for yourself we see positive for the got it I guess you know he'll Batman just be like the psychopathic kick your ass now camera office sort of okay well he's not here did you read US Superman Year one number three oh you've just been worn down and you don't realize that's just my take on marriage don't listen to me I emailed her because just like she suspected there they pushed that back again another week that number one I mean she's a lady so yeah more her I think she was she even said let's talk to her she's like she like I think they supposedly there's talk that they might push it back so look at look at what it doesn't interest word maybe that's it because I was like the first who seem kinda slow than this one seems like it rushed yeah and style when you think of that it was able but then then we saw the light but with each other yeah you can have something even beyond that so something I found funny this week is that I heard back make him a good man must be done with it why I covered I just wanted to I just wonder if they're gonNA try to redeem her seven V one woman seven fifty I did it was super rush it was way too much of the INFO dot in everybody hated eh the peace because it's you know the first half fours you know what will be fans out there oh you know what actually did pick up absolute carnage dead poor number three so if you WanNa Talk Down Wade's world tomorrow awards and is it was it just me like I couldn't get through this whole thing in one reading either put it down like at least twice and then pick it back up later getting up stay for the WHO Played Him Michael Shoe the guy was reports was the tentacles it was like no it's not oh the style jets just like they've been with the my goodwill or wonder woman showed up are we doing Batman v Superman now I thought I was I'm not I'm not faulting players philosophy I'm just saying you know now that there are other kinds of relations whatever it's boring is how it's Thursday and I don't care about thirsty I've been reading the regular wonder woman series but the anoc that it Miller right superman needs to be fired in not in the I know and not in a smart way just like I'm GonNa Punch Superman is like okay Batman he's trying to download it on his computer twenty eight Gig memory card and that's what we're downloading it onto we can't say did you see Loath Hellfire supposedly we are supposed to talk to Kelly Thompson but thanks guys guys guys walk not to be judgmental on your optimism it wasn't something that feels boring I'm just like I don't know if I'm enjoying this wonderful the whole thing with along with my disposal income will get right on that Russian who Latvia for Chief Wrigley Wonder Woman Book Okay G Willow Wilson Draining it's okay like I think you've got a little better but I don't care my wonder woman anymore which is a shame because she's the best we're gonNA look after the eighties Frank Miller's evolving grow right it's eighty twenty nineteen aspect a little bit if he jumps off camera can you hear me white man's Glenn he jumps off probably hoping to give it another miniseries on it or something but the fight another really having her but again there I whether like cashing in I mean I wonder woman the unseen cotton it seemed like the rush part and then it's like we don't get back the lax I mean I know they're probably setting the groundwork you know this is the Dark Knight Returns Universe and the these coming up on that guy speaking of that the witching cows or whatever that story arc is terrible it has gone on way too long a really only the third part of it you know Charlie likes stuff but I swear marble DC it's like a spider man Batman World Right now I want other spin off well again I think we
