Après vous avoir parlé de la sainte Trinité de DC Comics avec Batman, Superman et Wonder Woman dans une précédente émission, on s'intéresse cette fois au Martien vert préféré de l'éditeur.Absolute Martian Manhunter, écrit par Deniz Camp et dessiné par Javier Rodriguez, arrive en France chez Urban Comics et s'impose comme l'un des nouveaux titres du label Absolute piloté par Scott Snyder. Est ce que ce nouvel Absolute est le titre à ne pas rater chez DC Comics ? On vous en parle dans cet épisode de ComicsDiscovery. Absolute Martian Manhunter de Deniz Camp et Javier Rodriguez Un invité venu d'ailleursPour parler des aventures d'un extraterrestre, il nous en fallait bien un autre. Nous avons eu la joie d'accueillir Dr Salience, vidéaste qui aborde les comics avec une approche très personnelle. Vous pouvez retrouver sa chaîne YouTube ici :https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClAxorfXj27uDj9NZXu8rBg Si vous en avez assez des vidéos critiques classiques tournées devant une bibliothèque Billy remplie de figurines Pop, son univers décalé et son humour singulier devraient vous séduire. Nous vous invitons à découvrir son travail et à vous abonner si le cœur vous en dit pour le soutenir. Découvrons le limier martienMartian Manhunter, aussi connu sous le nom de J'onn J'onzz, est l'un des personnages majeurs de DC Comics. Pourtant, en France, le personnage reste relativement discret, en dehors de ses apparitions dans les séries animées, notamment la célèbre Super Justice League qui l'a révélé à toute une génération.Chez Urban Comics, seuls deux titres lui ont été consacrés en solo, Absolute Martian Manhunter étant la seconde publication centrée sur le Martien. On l'a surtout découvert dans des récits d'équipe, dont le superbe New Frontier de Darwyn Cooke où il occupe un rôle clé.Cette rare présence éditoriale rend d'autant plus excitante la sortie d'un récit entièrement dédié au personnage. Créé en 1955 par Joseph Samachson et Joe Certa, Martian Manhunter appartient aux grandes figures de l'âge d'argent de DC Comics. J'onn J'onzz est souvent considéré comme l'âme de la Justice League, un héros profondément empathique, traumatisé par la disparition de son peuple.Sa personnalité mêle sagesse, mélancolie et sens du devoir, ce qui le distingue des autres membres de l'équipe.Ses pouvoirs variés, qui vont de la télépathie à la métamorphose en passant par la super force et l'intangibilité, en font l'un des héros les plus puissants de l'univers DC.Cette importance, bien reconnue aux États Unis, explique l'attente autour d'un récit qui lui redonne enfin toute sa place. Une réinvention du personnagePour revisiter Martian Manhunter, Scott Snyder s'est entouré de deux auteurs particulièrement inspirés.Deniz Camp s'est fait connaître avec des récits ambitieux comme 20th Century Men, où il explore déjà des thèmes humains, politiques et intimes.Javier Rodriguez apporte quant à lui une identité visuelle forte, grâce à son style expressif et ses compositions inventives aperçues dans Daredevil, Spider Woman ou The History of the Marvel Universe.Ensemble, ils donnent à ce titre Absolute une personnalité très marquée. Dans Absolute Martian Manhunter, Deniz Camp propose une interprétation originale en jouant sur la relation entre J'onn J'onzz et son identité humaine, l'agent du FBI John Jones.Le Martien est ici présenté comme une présence presque parasitaire dans l'esprit de l'agent, une conscience qui influence sa perception du monde.Cette idée rappelle par certains aspects la dynamique d'un Venom, mais avec une approche bien plus psychologique.Ce choix renforce les thèmes du récit, qui explore l'identité, la mémoire et la difficulté de trouver sa place.Le dessin de Javier Rodriguez accompagne parfaitement cette vision grâce à un jeu de couleurs expressif qui matérialise les émotions ressenties par l'enquêteur et accentue le décalage entre ses deux natures. Le titre à lire de la ligne Absolute ?Si vous aimez les séries des Big Two qui flirtent avec l'esprit des comics indépendants, comme The Vision de Tom King et Gabriel Walta ou Moon Knight de Jeff Lemire et Greg Smallwood, vous allez adorer ce titre.Absolute Martian Manhunter plonge au cœur de la psyché du dernier Martien et s'appuie sur une collaboration très réussie entre scénario et dessin.Le travail sur la couleur donne au récit un rythme particulier et renforce l'immersion dans l'enquête.Tout est pensé pour offrir un portrait complet du personnage et de son univers, tout en construisant un thriller haletant qui tient en haleine du début à la fin. Comme le titre de l'émission le laisse entendre, on est clairement devant le titre à ne pas manquer dans la ligne Absolute.Nous n'avons pas encore découvert le Flash, mais Absolute Martian Manhunter est déjà notre vrai coup de cœur de ce nouveau label DC.

What the Kids Say- 'In the Big Two Five' by Maine's Coast 93.1

"We've got big plans and big ideas, and want to have some fun with it along the way.”Canberra's beer scene has been dominated – in a nice way – by two breweries for the best part of a decade now, but since Cypher Brewing released their first beers in April 2023 the Gungahlin crew have been angling to join BentSpoke and Capital and turn the Big Two into a Big Three.We joined co-owner Jeff Wilson-Shipley and head brewer Matt Thiele at their brewpub as part of our podcast road trip odyssey in June. The former is one of a group of soccer-playing mates from diverse backgrounds behind the brewery, the latter a brewer who joined Capital a month after they launched and moved across town for the chance to take more creative control of a brewhouse.We talked about their ethos and brand, the building of what they refer to as “The Cypher World” – one that seems to involve plans to open a brewpub on Mars, their efforts to celebrate and engage their multicultural local community, balancing hardcore fans' (and their own) desire for big beers with more approachable offerings for the wider market, and their work advocating for indie brewers with the pollies down the road.It's a pretty snappy intro this week, covering the week's news – the founders of pioneering Red Duck Brewery putting the business on the market as they approach 20 years; the launch of an indie maltsters association in WA; tickets going on sale for the industry components of Grainstock – as well as Mick Wüst's lovely tale featuring the founders of Brisbane Pub Chess.We also reveal the latest winner in our Bluestone Yeast Brewery of the Month campaign; keep the nominations for that coming, as well as for our Have You Done A Rallings? celebration of good beer citizens.Start of segments: 7:54 – Grainstock 2025 Preview 11:37 – Cypher Brewing Part 1 32:25 – Bluestone Yeast Brewery of the Month 37:41 – Cypher Brewing Part 2To find out more about featuring on The Crafty Pint Podcast or otherwise partnering with The Crafty Pint, contact craig@craftypint.com.

This week's episode is a wild ride through unexpected musical theories, fast food rivalries, and a heartfelt tribute to a classic TV star. Buckle up for a multi-course serving of nostalgia and surprises. Segment 1: “Raspberry Seger?”Prince's Raspberry Beret turns 40 this summer, but here's the question we can't stop asking: Did Prince write that song in the style of… Bob Seger? Is this a legit theory or a full-on Mandela Effect hallucination? We investigate their shared Midwestern roots, the surprising musical similarities, and the strange-but-true story of why these two icons were supposed to meet—but never did. Also: Wolfman Mike shares a deeply personal (and very gross) tale of eating a mystery burrito in front of Prince—in the dark. Segment 2: “Burger Wars: Chapter 3 — Where's the Beef?”We've covered McDonald's. We've covered Burger King. Now it's time to give the other burger chains their shot. In Chapter 3 of our Burger Wars series, we spotlight Wendy's and the other 70s and 80s fast food joints that dared to challenge the Big Two. Can a square patty and a little old lady shouting “Where's the beef?” change the game? Is this the round where we finally declare a winner? Segment 3: “Goodbye to a 70s/80s Star”A beloved actress from our childhoods has passed away. Known for her beauty—but was that all she brought to the screen? We take a look back at her roles, her impact, and why she meant more than just a pretty face on TV. It's a tribute filled with heart and surprising insights.Please, fill out this short survey:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1eCzmh4jn6onsdfllOI_NencBhVWRRfvhWteLYfSbLxE/edit?usp=drivesdkSend us a voicemail:https://www.speakpipe.com/The70sVsThe80sSend us an email:The70svsthe80s@gmail.com

The boys are back to play catch up and chat about the latest Fantastic Four trailer, Peter Safran outlines the (oversaturated) future of the DCU, Amazon now owns 007, and The Big Two crossing over again.

Marvel and DC are teaming up for a new crossover in 2025, announced at ComicsPRO. The event will feature two one-shot issues: Marvel/DC published by Marvel and DC/Marvel published by DC. Details on the creative teams and storylines are still under wraps.It's rare to see the Big Two collaborate, so this could be something special—if they bring in the right writers and artists to make it worthwhile.

What do factors will have the biggest impact on the person you will be in five years?  Let's talk AND begin to take action!

It had to happen eventually: this week The Studies Show is all about philosophy. As we look at science in general, how do we decide what those studies are actually showing? Tom and Stuart take a look at the Big Two of philosophy of science: Karl Popper and Thomas Kuhn, with their respective theories of falsificationism and paradigm shifts. Both are theories that almost everyone interested in science has heard of—but both make far more extreme claims than you might think.The Studies Show is sponsored by Works in Progress magazine, the best place to go online for fact-rich, data-dense articles on science and technology, and how they've made the world a better place—or how they might do so in the future. To find all their essays, all for free, go to worksinprogress.co.Show notes* Tom's new book, Everything is Predictable: How Bayes' Remarkable Theorem Explains the World* Wagenmakers's 2020 study asking scientists how they think about scientific claims* David Hume's 1748 Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding* Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy article on the problem of induction * Bertrand Russell's 1946 book History of Western Philosophy* Popper's 1959 book The Logic of Scientific Discovery* Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy article on Popper* Kuhn's 1962 book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions* Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy article on Kuhn* 2019 Scott Alexander review of the book* Michael Strevens's 2020 book The Knowledge Machine* Daniel Lakens's Coursera course on “improving your statistical inferences”CreditsThe Studies Show is produced by Julian Mayers at Yada Yada Productions.

Chris Condon returns to the Cryptid Creator Corner today as part of Jimmy's DC December. Chris is the writer of such incredible series as That Texas Blood and The Enfield Gang Massacre. Now, Chris has taken over writing duties from Joshua Williamson on Green Arrow! Chris is taking Ollie back to the streets beginning with a back-up story in issue #17 (which was out in October, although the real fun starts with issue #18 that was out November 27th). Jimmy chats with Chris about it's been like taking on Green Arrow and what readers can expect from the story. Chris also talks about the upcoming Ultimate Wolverine (out January 15, 2025) and how he can balance these 2 different series. Writers with dreams of playing in the Big Two sandbox listen up as we try to crack the code as to how you break into comics.   Chris Condon & Jacob Phillips Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/condonphillips Green Arrow #17 From the Publisher This oversized issue features the aftermath of Oliver Queen's role in Absolute Power, while also setting the stage for his next chapter! First, Oliver Queen did the unthinkable to protect his family, and now must deal with the ramifications of his actions. Will his family and friends forgive him? Then, get ready for the opening chapter of the Emerald Archer's next adventure, from writer Chris Condon (The Enfield Gang Massacre, That Texas Blood) and artist Montos (Black Adam, Green Lantern: War Journal)! Ultimate Wolverine From the publisher Hitting stands in January, ULTIMATE WOLVERINE will be written by rising star Chris Condon (That Texas Blood, VENOM WAR: DAREDEVIL) and drawn by MOON KNIGHT powerhouse artist Alessandro Cappuccio. True to the character's origin as a government weapon, Ultimate Wolverine is an unwilling agent of the Maker, the secret creator of this corrupt universe. Mindwiped and used as an assassin, he's still the best there is as at what he does… even if he's not in control of who he does it to.  PATREON We have a new Patreon, CryptidCreatorCornerpod.
