Alex: And on The Stack, we talk about a bunch of books that have come out this week. Tons of books out this week. Lots of number ones to get through. Pete: Tons. Tons. Alex: So let's jump into it talking about Magic. Number one from BOOM! Studios written by Jed MacKay, art illustrated by Ig Guara. This is a bit of a reinvention of the classic universe people probably know from Magic: The Gathering and the card games. It takes a bunch of Planeswalkers, essentially magic folks and otherwise, has them attacked, spoiler over the course of the issue, and they end up having to band together. I got to tell you, I obsessively collected Magic: The Gathering cards as a kid, but I don't think I ever paid attention to the mythology. So I didn't know a lot going into this, but I still, as usual with the Jed MacKay book, enjoyed it quite a bit. What did you think, Pete? Pete: Yeah, I thought it was cool. It definitely seemed like I was like, “Oh, there's a lot more going on than I know about.” But I wasn't sure. But, man, loved the Medusa character for sure. Alex: Well, the thing that I really liked about this, and again, this is a spoiler for the issue, but it sets it up as this very typical fantasy world and then wrecks everything about halfway through the issue. And I thought that was- Pete: That was really hard. Alex: Yeah. I thought that was a really bold, fun move. It's basically saying, “Oh, this fantasy world that maybe you know from card games, from books, I assume, and otherwise, don't worry about that. We're going into our own story. We're doing our own thing.” So just kind of just follow it from there. Pete: Why did you say, “I assume.” Are you worried that people do magic for real. I'm thinking are you talking about them? Alex: No. I assume there are magic novels, but I don't know. Pete: Oh, okay. I see what you're saying. Okay. Okay. Alex: Yeah. I just don't know enough about this world, but [crosstalk 00:02:02] Pete: I thought you were throwing shade to magicians for a second. Alex: Oh my God. I never would. They would come after me. Green Lantern, number one from DC Comics written by Geoffrey Thorne, art by Dexter Soy and Marco Santucci. In this, we are getting the Oa's on the Green Lanterns, dealing with the new status quo of the universe. There is a new United Planets, as we've seen over the Superman books and otherwise, and that is affecting things here where they're trying to decide, “Hey. If we're the United Planets, if we have our own police force, what do we need the Green Lanterns for?” Of course, things go a little wrong over the course of this issue. Pete, now you're not the biggest fan of Green Lantern other than a book we're going to talk about it a little later at The Stack. But what did you think of this one? Pete: Well, first off, I want to just say a couple of nice things about the book. Really love the start, very crazy heavy action, kind of love this kind of who done it. And then, a spoiler, fun killing one of the floating large shirt tail peep know-it-alls. I've always wanted to do that. So I'm glad it finally happened in this book. Alex: Can I just interrupt? It's weird to me that you don't like the guardians given you love short people and they are very short. Pete: Yes I do. I love short people very much. Know-it-alls, I have a problem with. Also, the whole flowing large shirt thing bothers me. And I also hate how they look like you with the giant heads and always talking about how smart they are. Alex: What the fuck. How dare you? Also, thank you. I would love to look like [inaudible 00:03:46] Pete: I'm sure you would. Also, you would look amazing in a flowing gown. I mean, how are you going to have a Green Lantern number one and not have Far Sector in your shit? It's the best Green Lantern of all time and you're going to have a Green Lantern number one and- Alex: Here's the thing, she is in, and this is a little bit of a spoiler from the title, a Far Sector. So there's no reason for her to come back to the main planet for this. I will say I kept going back and forth in this issue where I thought based on the cover, “Okay. This is going to focus on the new teen Lantern character and what's going on with her.” It doesn't completely. She plays into it, but there's so much going on here that there were things that I felt like, “All right. I don't quite get this or why this is here or what's going on.” But by the end, so much was set up that I felt like, “Okay. We have a solid. This is just throwing everything at the wall. Let's see what sticks going into the second issue.” Pete: All right. Alex: Next up. Let's talk about one of my favorite issues of the week, which I know Pete probably didn't like, as well. We're starting off so well here, the Silver Coin number one from Image Comics, written by Chip Zdarsky, art by Michael Walsh. It's creepy, but it's supposed to be creepy. I love this book. This is a new horror anthology from a bunch of folks like Chip Zdarsky and, I think, well, I should probably look up who else is on it. But there's a bunch of folks that are contributing and they're each, I think, going to write a different issue as it follows this evil cursed silver coin through different situations. Alex: Here, we get a rock and roll tale that ends in a very Tales from the Crypt style way. Love the art by Michael Walsh. Like you said, creepy and terrifying in exactly the right way and viewers just dread into it. Chip Zdarsky writes a good rock and roll tale. I enjoyed this quite a bit. I didn't know what to expect going in, but I like this. I was always a sucker back in the day for Tales from the Crypt and shows like that, and this channels those very well. Pete: I agree. I definitely agree. It does have a fun Tales from the Crypt feel. It's also going to be cool to see how this moves forward, but this first story is just kind of the classic band selling their soul to the devil to kind of make it big. But it's got a very kind of interesting, it's not that in all the right ways. And, I think, it's the way they kind of leave it with the coin is very cool to see how this is going to keep moving forward. So as creeped out as I was and how much I knew Zalben enjoyed it, I still enjoyed this. And, I think, not only did I enjoy it, but I'm looking forward to see how the next one goes. Alex: They call them comics, but they're not very funny. Pete: I don't know what you're doing, but please, stop. Alex: That was my Crypt Keeper. He was always doing like [crosstalk 00:06:48] Pete: Yeah. Yeah. That was pretty good. My bad. My bad. Alex: Thank you. Let's talk about something I do think you liked because this is one of your favorite series out there. Beasts of Burden: Occupied Territory number one from Dark Horse Comics, written by Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer, art by Benjamin Dewey. If you haven't followed the series, this is about a bunch of dogs and other animals that investigate supernatural mysteries. Here, we're getting a tale from back in the day of a sheep dog back in World War II, I believe, who is looking into a simile supernatural mystery there. Man, I love this series. It's so adorable and terrifying at the same time, the perfect mix. Pete: Okay. So a couple of things I want to ask. So here's the hard part for me about Beasts of Burden, okay? Beast of Burden, love the story, love the idea but, originally, Jill Thompson on the art, who does these amazing water colors and you get that in kind of the fold Beast of Burdens created by Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson. So then, I feel weird about supporting this book. Okay. It's the same writer. It's the same title. I should be supporting this book, but it's not this amazing watercolor artist. I love Sarah's art. I think this is very cool, different take. Alex: Benjamin Dewey did the art. Pete: Oh, I thought it said Sarah Dyer. Alex: I think Sarah Dyer wrote it with Evan Dorkin. Pete: Oh, my bad. My apologies. Alex: That's all right. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. Pete: Regardless, art is clean. It's a different take on it, all of the same characters we love. The story is great. But I kind of have this thing of like, “Should it be okay that I'm still reading this book? Or is it betraying Jill and her amazing work?” Talk me through this, Zalben. How should we do this? Alex: I mean, I sort of had the same thought process as you because Jill Thompson's art is so gorgeous and so necessary to this book that I was thrown initially, when I saw Benjamin Dewey's art. I do think Benjamin Dewey's art is real good, as well. Pete: Oh, yeah. Alex: It's super fun for a flashback tale. Yeah. I don't know anything that might be on behind the scenes. It's entirely possible given artistic schedules, maybe Jill Thompson is working ahead on something else that takes place in the present. And, excuse me, Benjamin Dewey is doing this thing because it takes place in the past. I don't think Evan Dorkin was like, “Screw you, Jill Thompson. I'm doing my own comic at my own time.” or anything like that. So I don't think it's anything you need to feel bad about necessarily. But Jill Thompson is great, so it's okay to miss her art at the same time. This is super fun. Alex: You don't need to know anything about Beasts of Burden to jump into this. All you need to know is talking animals, supernatural mysteries. There's a terrifying last page here that maybe out loud I'd go. So it's good stuff. Next up, King in Black number five from Marvel, written by Donny Cates, art by Ryan Stegman. I thought this was worth talking about in a block with Venom number 34 from Marvel, also written by Donny Cates, art by Iban Coello because they're both ends of the era leading directly into the next status quo for Venom and I believe Donny Cates leaving the title after this. King in Black wraps up. They made King in Black saga. Venom number 34 interweaves with it a little bit and sets up, spoiler, a new status quo for Flash Thompson. Pete, go ahead. Pete: What was the order reading this? Because I read King in Black first and then I was like, “Oh, I think I should have read Venom first.” I just want to [crosstalk 00:10:29] Alex: We are simpatico here. I had the same thought process where I got to about page five of King in Black and thought, “Wait, did I miss something? What's going on here?” Pete: Yeah. Yeah. Alex: So I think Venom number 34 happens concurrently with King in Black. So you kind of can read them in any order, but probably you should read Venom number 34 first, then King in Black number five. Pete: Yeah. Because I did the opposite and I was like, “I shouldn't have done that.” Because reading Venom, it's kind of like, “Oh, I know what's going to happen.” So read King in Black number five first, then read Venom. Okay. But let's kind of go in that order, King in Black. First off, Donny Cates did this epic giant tail and I feel like was really impressive. All the stuff with the son was great. This was a giant kind of epic event, but also had a lot of small, amazing moments, a lot of great Flash Thompson moments, a lot of, “Holy shit, look at the size of that sword. I've never seen Silver Surfer with a giant sword before. This is fucking cool.” It just got even better. I really love this book. I really loved how it ended. It ended so well I wanted to go back and reread the whole thing again. Man, this was really a lot of fun and I was surprised at how much it covered and how much happened in it. Alex: I did appreciate that the ending here brought it back around to Eddie Brock and Venom. I thought that was a really good sense of focus under the event both in King in Black number five and Venom number 34. I think he gave a nice crest to the story he wants to tell, though there's probably at least one more issue going on there before he really wrapped things up. Yeah. I also appreciate the fact I really identified with people throughout this event being like, “Ugh, is this a Venom thing? I hate symbions. This sucks.” Because that's my general feeling going into it but, like you said, Donnie Cates and company made it feel very cool and big and fun throughout the event. So good times. Pete: Yeah. Also, it's a great book to pick up if you're like… I love comics where someone's mostly free falling and just kind of thinking about things and then there's flashbacks and stuff because they really [crosstalk 00:12:51] Alex: Are you a big Tom Petty fan? Then check out King in Black number five and Venom number 34. Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters number two from Oni Press by Chris and Laura Samnee. This is a almost mostly silent series at this point. It's all ages as well about a girl looking for her sister who has gotten lost in the wild with the unpossible monsters in the title. Beautiful, beautiful book. I want more of it every time is my only thing. I kind of want to wait until there's a trade. And then maybe hand it to my kids and say, “Hey, check this out.” But gorgeous. Pete: Yeah. I mean you and your kids this, and you're a cool dad. You're winning. This is a really amazing book. Art is, I mean, I say it all the time, but it's worth it alone. It's just so fantastic. Love the role building. Love the pace of this. Storytelling is unbelievable. Touching, badass, all the right things. Yeah. I can't get enough. Yeah. It does read quick and I'm sure I'll read it a lot better than the trade, but man, single issues have been a lot of fun. Alex: Let's move on then to talk about the Swamp Thing number two from DC Comics, written by Ram V, art by Mike Perkins. We have a new Swamp Thing here who is investigating some weird doings out in the desert. We had the setup, but not exactly the explanation in the first issue. Here, the new Swamp Thing is exploring his powers and abilities a little bit more and tangling with somebody new and very, very bad. This book is gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. Mike Perkins' art is incredible. And Ram V is really leaning into that. This, to me, feels like, I feel like you're going to yell at me here, Pete, but this feels like on par with the first couple of issues of Batwoman by J.H. Williams III. It's just breaking the layouts, playing with it, playing with the format feels really engaging and dark in a very similar way. Pete: Yeah. That's hell of a praise. That's really fantastic praise. Okay. I agree. It's absolutely gorgeous. This is a lot of fun. Swamp Thing can be hit or miss for me. I enjoyed this issue a lot. I didn't enjoy all the human stuff as much, but I really thought this was cool. And also, we got to talk about this. You guys don't go to central park in the middle of the night because there's full grown dudes being born out of trees and I'm glad Swamp Thing is finally talking about it. It's fucked up and someone needs to look into this because it's not right, man. It's just really messed up. Alex: I'll tell you what, I've been to The Ramble at night and I don't think that's what dudes are doing in trees. Pete: Well, that's what's happening in this comic book. Alex: Great book. Seven Secrets number seven from BOOM! Studios, written by Tom Taylor, art by Daniele Di Nicuolo. Pete: I mean, Seven Secrets number seven. I mean, that's you. Alex: We still don't know what the secrets are, but in this issue, our main character has wandered off the road into the land of fairy [crosstalk 00:16:08] Pete: We don't know all the secrets. We know a couple. Alex: We don't know anything. The secrets are still secret in this book. We know they're important, but we don't know what they are or anything about them, which is kind of wild. But we do know more about the main character, about where he comes from, another really good issue of this very fun title. I'm enjoying it. How about you, Pete? Pete: Yes. Absolutely. Art's amazing. Paneling is fantastic. And if you're going to do a glowing horse with a fish tail, this is just the peak that which all should be measured. This is very creative. Very cool. Interesting paneling, amazing storytelling. Yeah. This is just really kind of creepy and tripped out in all the right ways. It's one of those things where you got to be like, “All right. I'm definitely going to find out the secret in this issue.” But they do such a good job of keeping you busy in all the right ways. I'm impressed by this book. Alex: By the way, the thing you mentioned, the horse with the tail of a fish, like they say in the book, it's called a sulky, which is where the expression taking a sulky comes from. Pete: Oh my God. You're such a dad joke. It's ridiculous. Alex: The Immortal Hulk number 45 from Marvel, written by Al Ewing, art by Joe Bennett. In this issue, the Hulk is once again, dead, killed by the U-Foes, trapped in the land below grid, I always forget what the name is. But it's Joe Fixit and the dumb, very flabby, kid Hawk being trapped by the leader while back on earth, things are going wild. I'll tell you what, not only do I love this book, like we talk about every issue. Not only are all the designs absolutely terrifying and the amount that Al Ewing and Joe Bennett are building into the mythology, rather fascinating. But I don't think any other book, since a Brian K. Vaughan book like Saga, consistently on the last page out loud makes me go, “Oh, here we go.” Every single time out of the gate. Pete: Yeah. I mean, I wish I could, after reading this book and all the crazy thing, is I wish I could have been on this pitch meeting for Marvel. Can you imagine how you'll be going, “All right, listen. I'm going to take Hawk and I'm going to twist them and I'm going to turn them. And it's going to be so gross and so fucked up, it's probably going to turn a lot of people away. But if people check this out.” I mean, this keeps getting weirder and more fucked up, yet I'm having such a great time. I don't know. I don't know how to describe this to somebody. I don't know what's going on. I love the last page. I can not wait to see what's happening. I don't know. I'm so confused. I'm so grossed out. I love this book. I love the way it starts with the quote every time. And then it gets all sorts of fucked up. This is some groundbreaking, really cool shit right here. Alex: This is one of the most epic Hulk rods of all time. And it's so exciting to be able to be reading that right now. I love it. Next up, let's talk about one that I know you really liked a lot, Dead Dog's Bite number two from Dark Horse Comics by Tyler Boss. Now this is one we missed talking about the first issue of this, which I really regret because Tyler Boss, great artist. We know him from 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank, which he did with Matthew Rosenberg and other things. Pete: The Burgee. Alex: This is about a woman who is investigating a disappearance. It's weird. It's funny. The panel layouts are great. I loved it. Love this issue. Pete: It's really impressive. This is very, very creative in all the right ways. The Boss is killing it here. I mean, it kind of takes a little bit of like gives me that Hawkeye feel with a little bit of, God, what was it, King's Vision with the different panelings and stuff here. But it's got this great Indie kind of creative field, but just the paneling and the logos and the different stuff that they're doing. I mean, I'm enthralled watching someone put money in a machine to try to get soda out. How can you do that? How is that enthralling? Yeah. I'm just really, really impressed with how creative and fantastic this book is. The scene where she goes and sits down with their mom at the fucking lunch table. Oh my God. This is crazy. I cannot wait to see how this kind of unfolds or gets explained. This is fantastic. I'm completely on board. Alex: Me, too. I want to go back and read the first issue at this point. I feel bad about missing it. This is great. Next up, Batman number 107 from DC Comics, written by James Tynion IV, art by Jorge Jimenez and Ricardo Lopez Ortiz. In this issue, we're continuing to find out about how Batman is dealing with the new status quo of Gotham City. Scarecrow is on the move. Other forces are, as well. And the backup story is about Ghost-Maker. What'd you think, Pete? Pete: All right. I've never seen Scarecrow so badass portrayed in a Batman book in a while. This is very interesting and cool. Tynion's doing unbelievable stuff. The art's fantastic. The Harley Quinn stuff has been so enjoyable. I think just kind of sprinkled throughout this Batman run and I think in a great way, and then we kind of get this new lady in red with green plant dogs who loves roses, so very intriguing. Tynion has done introducing a lot of different new characters with Ghost-Maker and now this lady in red. This is interesting to see what's going to be happening here for Batman. Yeah. I've been enjoying it. Alex: I'm going to throw a theory out at you. So there's a character named Simon Saint, who we know is tied to the magistrate program that we saw in the future state books that essentially takes over Gotham and turns it into a police state, potentially in the future. Is Simon Saint Scarecrow? Because there's a scene in the book where- Pete: Don't you fucking spoil this for me, you son of a bitch. Alex: No. I have no idea. But there's a scene in the book where Simon Saint is looking outside and Scarecrow almost seems to be talking into his mind standing on a gargoyle. We've previously seen Scarecrow in his office sitting there in the darkness and it almost seems like maybe there's a split personality thing going on there. Pete: Oh, interesting. Alex: Just a thought. Whatever it is, love this book. I'm glad James Tynion has the, whatever you call it, handcuffs off or something like that and is able to just go wild in this book. It's great. Next up, The Last Witch number four from Boom! Box, written by Conor McCreery, art illustrated by V.V. Glass. As a little bit of a note, we're going to have Conor McCreery on our live show in a couple of weeks, so definitely check that out. I know you and Justin are going- Pete: For real? Alex: For real. I love giving you news on our podcast. Pete: Oh, man, that's great. Dude, this book has been fantastic. I cannot wait to talk about this. Alex: Yes. We'll talk about this one, then. We have our young witch is continuing to learn magic as she goes on a hunt for other witches. Here, we meet a refugee from Ferry who seems to be working with her. Maybe he's not, necessarily. What'd you think about this issue? Pete: Yeah. Really great set up. I mean, first off, the girl's grandmother's just fantastic. What a badass. Alex: You love a grandma. Pete: There's nothing better than a badass grandma, all right? I don't know what it is, but it's glorious. Yeah. So just interesting. Alex: That's the thing that you love about grandmas, Pete. They keep getting older and so do you. Pete: Okay. Great. Stop being creepy. Yeah. Yeah. It seemed like a interesting kind of dude tagging along on this. Amazing kind of last page reveal on that. Yeah. Love the art. It makes it seem like it's this kind of all ages, innocent thing, but there's really a lot going on underneath the surface. So I'm very intrigued by this. Love all the main characters. It does such a great job of giving you story, giving you fun, giving you action. Yeah. I can't wait to see how this all unfolds. Alex: I like the V.V. Glass art in particular on this book. It really feels like sort of a, Don Bluth isn't exactly right, but it's very classic animation style where you could almost feel like it's moving between the panels. It's very nice. Next up, America Chavez: Made in the USA number two from Marvel, written by Kalinda Vazquez, art by Carlos Gomez. In this, we're continuing to find more about the origin of America Chavez and it is not what we thought it was. We're definitely in retcon territory here, folks, where we find out there's a family after she left the Utopian Parallel that adopted her and kept her for a while. We get to see how she started to develop her characters and there's the hint that everything she knew was wrong. I'm really enjoying the series quite a bit. And I say this as somebody who likes the concept of America Chavez a little better than the solo series I've seen. I've always liked her in a team book, but haven't quite understood the character out of here. This is so far and we're in the early going, maybe my favorite American Chavez story so far. Pete: Oh, cool. Yeah. I agree. This is really great. I feel like the art's fantastic. We're getting just enough backstory where it doesn't feel like too much. It's done so well with the kind of back and forth. I also really liked her with Spider-Man. That was great. Yeah. It's very interesting how we're kind of slowly getting her backstory, I would say a lot more in this issue, which is good. I'm very interested to see how this goes. I like how she's moving about the world solving kind of things, trying to figure stuff out. Sometimes when that's done, it can seem forced but it feels really natural here. Yeah. I mean, going into old-timey arcade place at night, that's just not a smart idea. Nothing's good is going to happen there. Alex: Next up, Fear Case number three from Dark Horse Comics, written by Matt Kindt, art by Tyler Jenkins. Pete, you read this book and we missed it, right? What'd you think about this one? Pete: Yeah. I thought this was creepy in all the right ways. Very interestingly drawn. I love the kind of pencil kind of take on it. A lot of really powerful panels. And I just kind of finding things out with the characters here. Really love the last page, oh, shit kind of reveal. I think this is very interesting to see how each one of these fear cases kind of unfold. I think it's really well done. The art's fantastic. Alex: Next up, Suicide Squad number two from DC Comics, written by Robbie Thompson, art by Eduardo Pansica. This is continuing the assault on Arkham storyline, which finds the Suicide Squad trying to liberate Talon from Arkham Asylum just as seemingly Scarecrow is, not Scarecrow, excuse me, joker's fear toxin is being released throughout it as we've seen in a couple of other comic books. As usual with Suicide Squad, a bunch of people die. It's very dark. There's complicated and morality here. I think this is a really good classic Suicide Squad story with some very nice superhero art by Eduardo Pansica. What do you think, Pete? Pete: Yeah. I agree. I think this is really cool. Also, I'm glad that in Suicide Squad, the comic, we're getting more Peacemaker here getting us ready for the movie. Really an over the top kind of person. So I think having what's his face playing it is going to be very- Alex: John Cena. Pete: Yeah. Alex: Can you smell what John Cena is cooking? Pete: No. No. No. You can't see me, okay? But I also really love the pulp fiction heart attack moment. I thought that was fun. Alex: Good stuff. Next up, I don't know anything about wrestling. Nocterra number two from Image Comics, written by Scott Snyder, art by Tony S. Daniel. Pete: Just for the audio podcast, I was waving my hand in front of my face like John Cena does. Alex: Okay. All right. Why does he do that? Pete: Because you can't see him. You can't see. Alex: Is that where the Drax [inaudible 00:29:26] came from? No, that's Dave Bautista. Nevermind. Pete: Yeah. Alex: They're different people? Pete: Yeah. Alex: Okay. Pete: See how it works is they're different people. Alex: Okay. I don't see people. Pete: Wow. Alex: I just don't see people. I don't see things. Okay. Nocterra number two written by Scott Snyder, who we had on the live show. He talked quite a bit about this as well, as many spoilers for Nocterra number three, which was very cool and very fun. So check out that live podcast if you hadn't. In this book, we're continuing our journey through a world where it's always night and it's filled with horrific creatures. Tony S. Daniel's art is stunning here as usual. Just great action scenes. They're fighting a terrifying villain named Blacktop Bill. This is great. This is like duel on sci-fi steroids is what I'd compare it to. You love this issue too, right? Pete: Oh my God. Yeah. And I love Blacktop Bill. Yeah. And also, really amazing art, bold choices. We talked about that Batman issue with him but two solid pages of all black, bold, bold choice. I was like, “Wait, did this not download right? What's going on here?” Yeah. I think this is really getting crazier and crazier. Yeah. This is just really over the top fun. Yeah. It kind of reminds me of having metal in all the right ways where it's like, “Oh yeah, this is just gonna be completely non-stop trucker fucking.” Yeah. This is fun. Alex: Well, I also like the fact that it's not delaying or an issue too. We already know a ton of information and things about the world. Pete: But it's so much to know. That's the fun part. Alex: Well, exactly. But it's the sort of story where it feels like, “Oh, okay. These are things that you kind of drag out and get to an issue 12.” But nope. We're getting them in issue two. And that's awesome. Next up. Let's chat about Geiger number one from Image Comics, written by Geoff Johns, art by Gary Frank. Now, before we get into it, I do want to mention, this was initially at the top of our stack. We moved it down here because if you haven't read it, there was a big interview with Ray Fisher from Justice League talking about his treatment from Geoff Johns. There were a lot of quotes in there. There were a lot of back and forth. We don't know anything necessarily about it. Certainly, we want to listen to every single viewpoint and understand what went on. Alex: As the story continues, we will continue to discuss it and find out more about it. But as is, I felt like it was still potentially worth talking about a Image Comic book from Geoff Johns and Gary Frank that's coming out. So we'll see. Maybe we'll scrub this from the podcast later, if more things come out. But as is, let's talk about the comic as the comic and as it is. So that all said, this is a new issue from this team who's worked on Doomsday Clock as well as a lot of other things. Here, we're getting an original property set in a post-apocalyptic world where one man has been seemingly affected by the radiation and gained radiation powers. The world, specifically, Las Vegas here has been split into different ruling factions as the outside of the world is not safe. What'd you think about this book, Pete? Pete: Yeah. I don't know about all that shit. This is kind of news to me. Alex: Again, I love giving you news right on the podcast. Pete: Yeah. So, hopefully, we're not enjoying something that's whatever. I don't know what to say, but just looking at this comic as a comic and hopefully… All right. My point is that this is very cool idea. I've very much enjoyed the action. I thought the glowing man was really badass. I'm very interested to see how this kind of all enfolds. This two-headed dog is my favorite. This is really very, very cool. You got the broady kind of villain. So if everything's okay, I'll be interested to see how this all unfolds. Alex: Yeah. Sorry I threw you there, Pete. I can see you're really struggling with it and that is totally fair. I think the thing that I would say about this is Gary Frank's art is meticulous as always as well as of layouts. I do think a lot of the problems that we had with Doomsday Clock, which got very in its head about the whole Watchmen of it all. There's a lot of themes and ideas and images that I think do get hit on and in a certain way, and not a necessarily bad way recycled here, but it feels much more wide open. It feels a little looser, both in terms of the storytelling and the plotting. And it'll be interesting to see, potentially, if everything gets clear, what this team does away from DC Comics. This is something that we talked with Scott a bit about as he is on his Rumspringa from DC Comics right now, about how you don't have the corporate responsibility. You don't have the things that you need to write because you're serving a greater master here. Alex: So again, we'll see what happens. If anybody has any feedback or questions about any of this, we, of course, are happy to chat either at comicbookclublive@gmail.com at Comic Book Live on Twitter or in our page here on Slack. We'd love to get your feedback on whether we should be covering this comic or not. But again, we like to cover number ones. We like to talk about this. This is a big superstar team, so it was worth throwing in there. Maybe not as the first comic book in The Stack. Next up, let's move to happier climbs with Far Sector number 11 from DC Comics, written by N.K. Jemisin, art by Jamal Campbell. Another fantastic issue of this book that just gets bigger and bigger every issue out of the gate. Pete, this is the Green Lantern you like. Go ahead. Pete: I mean, it sets the bar higher and higher with each issue and then continues to meet that bar and go above it. I mean, it's just fantastic. 20% ring to save 20 billion. I mean, come on. This is exciting stuff. Everything has been unfolding in such a cool way. The art alone is worth the pickup. It is gorgeous in all the right ways. Characters designs are new and fresh, breaking this mold of stereotypical people and what they should look like. I love every single minute of it. Alex: Well, I say this every issue, but I don't think you can undervalue the fact that Jamal Campbell has drawn every issue of Far Sector, as well as N.K. Jemisin writing it, and they make a great team together. I know it's not always possible with the monthly schedule of comic books, but I love that they have been able to continue together and kept this world consistent and build on it and make it look weirder and more interesting every issue out of the gate. It's great. This book is great. And I'm really curious to see if it ends with issue 12. Is it going to continue? What's going to happen? Because it's such a fun interesting premise that they've set up here. One little side note- Pete: Am I to go and take over Green Lantern? We don't need Green Lantern. We got Far Sector. Alex: There you go. One little side note I'll mention, I checked out, because I love this book so much, I read N.K. Jemisin's The City We Became which is a novel. It's awesome. I know everybody probably already noticed this, but just in case you haven't checked it out yet, it is, I don't even kind of want to spoil it, but it's about people who become living cities and it's not the same themes. But you can kind of get a sense of similar things that she's trying out here in Far Sector. Particularly as a new Yorker, I love it because it's based in New York. It's so of New York. Such an awesome book. Alex: Again, I'm sure a lot of people have read it who are listening to this, but if you've only checked out our comics, definitely read that, as well. It's well worth it. Next up, Crime Syndicate number two from DC Comics, written by Andy Schmidt, art by Keiran McKeown and Bryan Hitch. I think we were a little split on the first issue of this because it takes a more satirical look at the Crime Syndicate, at the evil Justice League. Here, we get them fighting Starro and we also get a backstory for Owlman. What'd you think about this one, Pete? Pete: It's interesting. It's cool. I mean, the Flash, shirtless Flash, with the crazy chain pants was hysterical. So fun. Alex: I like this a little better. I felt the humor was a little strained in the first issue, but it hits more of its rhythm in this one. I like the backup story here. Bryan Hitch's art is always pretty good. So I was ready to jump ship after this issue, but I think I'm more than willing to check out a third issue after this one. Pete: Cool. Alex: Next up, Bliss number six from Image Comics, written by Sean Lewis, art by Caitlin Yarsky. We are, I think, getting towards the end game here as we finally find out a big secret from the past of the father and son who were trying to find each other in this world where gods run a muck. There's some great bits here with one god that the son is palling around with, this turtle god who hangs his mouth open the entire time. There's some very dark and emotional stuff that happens as well. What did you think, Pete? Pete: Yeah. This is just really unbelievable. Fantastic storytelling. This has been a real roller coaster of rooting for them or not rooting for them. It seems like really evil, but then the other side to him. We've got the AOC on the cover with the old balance of power there, the scales. Yeah. I really think this is a very interesting, cool world and it's really done very well. The art and the characters are weird in all the right ways. Yeah. We find out a lot about the family in this. This is great. This really continues to be a book that you're like, “What is this going to be?” every time you pick it up and it doesn't disappoint. Alex: Totally agree. And that's it from The Stack.

Full Episode Transcript Alex: What's up everybody? Welcome to The Stack. I'm Alex. Justin: I'm Justin. Pete: I'm Pete. Alex: And on The Stack we talk about a bunch of books that have come out this week. Pete: Shut up. Justin: We sure do. We got lots. Alex: With one that Pete is terrified by. Pete: Oh my God, we're starting with this? Alex: We're starting with this, Pete. We're going right into it with HAHA, all caps, #1 from Image Comics, written by W. Maxwell Prince, art and cover by Vanesa Del Rey. Now, the reason I put it right here at the front of The Stack is this is by W. Maxwell Prince who also wrote Ice Cream Man, our number one book of 2020. This is his follow-up book. He talked about it live on the show when we had him on as a guest. I feel like there's a fair amount of hype regardless in the real world about this, let alone here on our little old podcast. Pete: We're old. Alex: This is a different sort of anthology. This is not about the Ice Cream Man, this is about clowns. This is still an anthology telling deathwatch stories, I believe, about these different characters, and obviously it goes very dark. But what did you think about not just this book, but how it holds up compared to Ice Cream Man? Justin: I think definitely it's great. If you're a fan of Ice Cream Man, I think you will like this book as well. It's nice to see a story that is a little bit totally different. I feel like Ice Cream Man has sort of a supernatural dread to it and this has just more of an existential dread to it, which is just a subtle shift in flavor, the difference between a pistachio with chocolate chip and a pistachio without chocolate chip. But the art is different, which I appreciate, and I really liked the first story. Alex: Pete, how did you feel about this? Were you're too scared to read it? Pete: It was very scary, I had to make sure I read it during the day with plenty of light. Justin: You had to empty that bladder out first so you didn't pee your pants. Pete: Yeah, this was insane. This is really just … What was nice is you kind think you understand it and then it kind of takes a couple more turns. So it was creatively impressive, but just the fact of like this is the person who did Ice Cream Man, the tone underneath it was very troubling, and scary and intense. There is a lot of creepy stuff going on all the time. Yeah, the art was glorious. The storytelling was impressive, but I am very scared to see what's going to happen if this is the beginning. Alex: I like this quite a bit. I thought this was really good like you guys are saying. For those who didn't pick it up, I felt, whether purposeful or not, this felt like a very specific response to Joker to me because this is about- Pete: Oh, interesting. Alex: … a clown who is down and out and pushed to his limits, and then what does he do next? Justin: The movie Joker? Alex: The movie Joker, yes. Pushed to his limits, what does he do next? It goes in very different directions obviously than the movie goes, but it does go to this very dark place. It doesn't back off from the realism of it. But like Pete was touching on Vanesa Del Rey's art, goes through these really different art styles that are very gritty and realistic, some that are cartoony. Alex: So there's a real breadth to the art there that I thought was really nice. And it does feel different from Ice Cream Man like Justin was saying, which I thought was nice to see as well. Even if you haven't read that book, even if you had no interest, even if you were scared of clowns, this is really good. Alex: I mean, I will say, I know I've mentioned to the lead-up to this book that my wife was a clown so I was going to throw this by her, but this is a different type of clown. It's just like more of a party clown type thing going on. Pete: I'm glad we're- Justin: Well, I guess we'll see. Pete: … talking about this, because something that I touched upon last episode, I don't know if the live show or The Stack or whatever, I'm worried- Alex: We know, as we do too many podcasts. Go ahead, Pete. Pete: … I'm worried about your children, because your wife is a clown, you are an evil genius. What are your children going to turn into? You know what I mean? I am very worried that I'm growing up in a world where it's going to be the birth of some kind of like joker type character. You know what I mean? Justin: I'm worried you're raising some sort of insane clown posse. Is that possible? Alex: Yeah. The other day, and this is really weird, my son said, “Hey, do you want some Faygo?” and I was like, “I don't know what that means, but yes, please.” Justin: Nice. I feel like they've got a big weekend planned later this little summer. I want to give a shout out to the movie Quick Change, which I feel like may have been an inspiration for this comic, a Bill Murray movie from like 1990 or something like that. Alex: Regardless, very good book. Definitely pick it up. Next up, King in Black: Thunderbolts #1 from Marvel written by Matthew Rosenberg, art by Juan Ferreyra. As you- Pete: Bergie Alex: … As what? Pete: Bergie. Justin: Bergie Alex: You just love shouting things in the middle when I'm talking, Pete. Pete: Yeah. Alex: If you haven't been picking it up, this is taking place during the King in Black event where Knull, the God of the Symbiotes, has taken over New York City. Here, Kingpin gathers a group of villains to try to take down Knull or at the very least start the process of taking down Knull. In classic Matthew Rosenberg fashion, things don't go very well. There's a bunch of sad sack, horrible villains. But a lot of people die in this book. This feels like Marvel's answer to Suicide Squad, the best way. Justin: 100%. The movie. Alex: I had a lot of fun reading this. Justin: Agreed. This was great. I was really into the star character in her standalone series from last year, so it's great to see her on this team. And just great story, loved everything that happened. Great panel where you get to see Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones kicking ass in the middle and they're like, “Yeah, let's get away from this.” Pete: Yeah. I feel like this is a great kind of story, but also the art is really fantastic in a lot of different ways. It's cool to see Kingpin out of a suit. He's rocking like a starter jacket and a polo shirt, but casually still running things like Kingpin. Yeah. There's a lot of fun being had in this book that is completely insane and over the top, but yeah, this is a fun issue. Alex: Yeah, I've been a little 50/50 about some of the tie-ins. The Venom stuff feels necessary, the King in Black stuff feels necessary, but a lot of stuff with this event feels very side to the event to me. This is side to the event, but I had a blast reading it anyway, and I think that makes it worth checking out. Next up, let's go into our Future State block. We did this last week for the first week of Future State. Justin: Yes. Pete: Oh, boy. Alex: We read and talked about not all the books, but some of our favorites. But once again this week we read all of the books in DC's Future State, which shows us a possible future of the DC Universe. I'd love to go to you guys. Given that we read, I'll just read the titles and then we could read the creative teams later. Alex: We read Teen Titans, Green Lantern, Kara Zor-El, Superwoman, Robin Eternal, Justice League, Superman, Wonder Woman, Dark Detective. Those are the ones that came out this week. What jumped out at you? What did you particularly like that you thought was the standout this week or standouts? Justin: It occurs to me reading a lot of these books that this event feels so much like the 2099 line that Marvel did many, many years ago- Alex: Good call. Yeah. Justin: … especially the Dark Detective book and Robin Eternal in this batch. And I liked both of these books. Robin Eternal brings in Spoiler and some of the … Was it Robin Incorporated? Was that the name of it or? I forget the team of all the Robins, there was a book for a while. Alex: We Are Robin. Justin: We Are Robin, That's what it is. Alex: Yes. Just to mention the creative teams- Pete: We Are Robin. Alex: … behind those since we're talking is, Robin Eternal is written by Meghan Fitzmartin, art by Eddie Barrows. Dark Detective is written by Mariko Tamaki and Matthew Rosenberg once again, art by- Pete: Are they- Alex: … Dan Mora from Once & Future, one of our favorites here, and Carmine Di Giandomenico. Go ahead, Justin. Sorry about that. Justin: And no, great. And Dark Detective I feel like is almost a direct analog to Spider-Man 2099 #1, which is a great book. I really enjoyed this. And then the backup that you were just mentioning, the team behind it, I think is Matt Rosenberg with a Grifter story which I also enjoyed. Pete: … Yeah. I mean, I'm not mad at this event. Like this has been some very interesting reading. I've been reading DC for most of my life and some of the stuff in here is really great. The superwoman art was just- Justin: It was really good. Pete: … unbelievable, the character design. It was just nice to be reading a DC book and being like, “Wow, is this really a DC book?” The colors and the stuff was just so cool. Alex: Yeah, just too while you're calling it out, Kara Zor-El, Superwoman is by Marguerite Bennett and art by Marguerite Sauvage, who I believe was the team behind the DC Bombshells line as well. So there's definitely a sense of that going on. But go ahead, Pete. Pete: And yeah, I just think that even the Future State: Green Lantern, we still got … I was hoping it wouldn't be the actual Green Lantern, it'd be the Green Lantern that we really like. But there's still a lot of creative stuff happening. And maybe I don't know everything, but I was really … The Teen Titans book, Beast Boy is also part of Cyborg. And Robin is rocking what looked like a Taskmaster belt. But like it- Alex: Deathstroke. Pete: … Yeah. But it looked- Alex: Same character basically. Pete: … Well, Slade Wilson, but the belt has the T that looks exactly like Taskmaster's belt. But that kind of stuff aside- Justin: Terminator. Pete: … I was like, “Oh my God, this is a ton of books that we have to read that Robin just dumped in our laps to make us read. But I ended up being very happy- Justin: Make us read. Pete: … that we had to do this. And also, I'm still really loving this new Wonder Woman. Justin: Yeah. Well, Alex, you haven't said anything yet. Why don't you go? Alex: No, that's fine. I mean, I agree with a lot of those picks that I think are really good. Mariko Tamaki, like you said, her Dark Detective was awesome. This book is about Bruce Wade is left for dead, of course he's not quite dead. So who does it become next? The Matthew Rosenberg Grifter story, again, a really fun story there. Alex: I agree with you about Robin Eternal. I was surprised about that one, how much that I like that. It's a really good Tim Drake spoiler story, and I was definitely reading that being like, “Oh, Justin likes this one.” But the one that stood out to me that I was really surprised about was Future State: Superman/Wonder Woman #1, written by Dan Watters, art by Leila Del Duca. Alex: Like Pete said, I think like Wonder Woman, clearly this new Wonder Woman has been the standout here of this event. She's definitely the one that everybody hooked into. They're developing it for the CW as a Wonder Girl show. But she's great, she's fun, Jon Kent is fun. The tone of this is just … Alex: This Wonder Woman is … I believe they haven't been totally upfront about everything that's going on, but she seems to be from some sort of South American god, Pantheon, but also the Olympian Pantheon. Like Zeus is her dad, but somebody else is her mom. So she's dealing with the Sun God there who ends up having a race with … Is it Solaris? Justin: Solaris. Pete: Yes, Solaris. Alex: Solaris. Pete: In that conversation, Superman versus Solaris really. Alex: So fun where just Superman and Wonder Woman are on the ground being like, “Well, this is messing up the entire earth because of the tides and everything that's going on, while these two Sun Gods are having a race around the earth.” Just the whole tone of it was so surprisingly light and enjoyable. I had a blast reading this book. Pete: Also, I- Alex: Justin, you were pointing at me, which one did you think I was going to call out? Justin: I thought you were going to call out Justice league #1, which is I really liked that. Pete: … That's exactly what I thought he was going to say. I also was … Yeah, I really liked Justice League and Justice League Dark. I also liked the kind of last stage reveal. Alex: That was great. So that was Joshua Williamson writing the Justice League story, Ram V writing- Pete: The third. Alex: … the Justice League Dark story. Robson Rocha on the first story, Marcio Takara on the second story. And yeah, I liked the Justice League story, I thought that was a lot of fun. That was all about like the fallout of the Justice League messing up and being rear-ended, what have you. Pete: Also had the right Green Lantern on that one. Justin: Yeah, we get our N.K. Jemisin Green Lantern. Pete: Yeah. Alex: Which is awesome. But the Justice League Dark story was fantastic in that backup there. So then- Justin: Yeah, I like both of these stories. They do a great job of really giving us context for the first Justice League story and then just moving quickly through the story in a fun way by getting this idea out that they're not supposed to talk to each other, they're supposed to maintain their secret identities. But they're all breaking those rules, really great. Justin: As opposed to some of the ones that I thought were harder to read were the Teen Titans one and the Green Lantern one because I was like, “What is happening?” There was very little context given up at the top. And they felt like dumping us into story that I didn't quite know it was happening. Alex: … I think this is an interesting week two thing in particular with the Green Lantern one. Teen Titans is like the … There seems to be a disparity in terms of time period with some of these, where some the earth is a paradise, some the earth is ruined. It's not quite clear how they connect to each other. Pete: Which one are we living in? Alex: A little bit of both, calm A, calm B. Pete: Okay, cool. Justin: There you go. Alex: Teen Titans is by Tim Sheridan, Rafa Sandoval. Green Lantern is by Geoffrey Thorne, Ryan Cady, Ernie Altbacker, art by Tom Raney, Sami Basri and Clayton Henry. We get three stories in the Green Lantern one. That was definitely one where I felt like we're just dropped in the middle with a John Stewart story. You don't know exactly what's going on. They're fighting a new villain. Alex: The second one, it felt like it started to become a little clear as we followed. Jessica Cruz is fighting some Yellow Lanterns, some of the Sinestro Corps. And it becomes clear that the rings have failed. At some point, the Green Lantern rings stopped working. And it becomes even clearer in the third story, which was my favorite of that book, which follows Guy Gardner. He's on a random alien planet as his ring fails and he can't leave the planet, so he kind of makes the best of it. That story I thought was a lot of fun, personally. Justin: Yeah, indeed that one was very fun. Alex: But there you go, good stuff from the Future State. Surprisingly like we've been talking about, a strong event going into week two. Justin: Really enjoying. Alex: Next up, let's talk about one of Justin's favorite books I imagine this week, Home Sick Pilots #2 from Image Comics, written by Dan Watters and art by Caspar Wijingaard. In the first issue of this book, we met a punk band, maybe something like that. One of them got possessed by a haunted house, but- Justin: That happens in punk band. Yeah. Alex: … the other folks got killed by that haunted house. And at the end of the book, we found out the one that was possessed by the haunted house was traveling around, finding relics that had been taken out of the house, and that's where we pick up this issue. This title is awesome. I love it. Justin: It's so good. It's comes from such a strong point of view, like such confidence writing this story, which is like a little wild. Like, you're getting into all this like band and music stuff, at the same time a very specific type of ghost story or horror story. And the way this issue plays out is super fun, super unique, sad at points, and it's setting up some real tension for the characters going forward. Pete: Also I'm glad it really explains why people hang a horseshoe above the door. We really get the kind of where that all got started and why people do that. This is all true stuff. Justin: But what if the horses come back for their shoes? Pete: Yeah. Alex: It reminds me a little bit, I don't know if this is exactly correct, but it reminds me a little bit of- Pete: You buy them Jordans, that's what you do. Alex: … like Scott Pilgrim meets Locke & Key, because- Justin: Okay. Alex: … Yeah. Well, because you got the … This is a spoiler, but we find out by the end of the issue our main character has to track down six relics for the haunted house. Pete: Ah, don't spoil it. Alex: Well, hold on. But six relics for the haunted house. We get some teaser of some very creepy things that are going on there. We get some big fights. But there's this whole mythology being built out here that is fascinating to read it. It really feels like something completely fresh and new at a very excited way. Justin: Yeah, the shot of the horseshoe ghost once it's returned to the house was very Gabriel Rodriguez I thought, in a great way. Alex: Yes. Pete: Yeah. Alex: Great stuff. Definitely pick up this book. This is a good one to get on the ground floor of. Next up, King in Black: Gwenom, I think- Justin: Gwenom. Alex: … vs. Carnage #1 from Marvel, written by Seanan McGuire, art by Flaviano. This is again tying it to the King in Black event. Here we're getting our alternate universe. Gwen Stacy is going into the fray as you could probably guess from the title, she ends up fighting Carnage by the end, but not the Carnage you know. What did you think about this tie-in? Justin: I like it a lot. I've been a huge fan of the Spider-Gwen and now Gwenom and all the different iterations. It's a pretty wild story at this point that she is a Gwen Stacy who held Peter Parker when he died in her arms and became Spider-Girl, Spider-Woman. And then in this, in her earth, there's a little bit of gender swapping with a lot of characters and just slightly alternate takes with everybody. Then she had a venom from her earth, she's now in our earth and dealing with a lot of other Venoms in this issue, including a surprising person who becomes Carnage by the end. I liked it. Alex: Pete. Pete: Yeah. I mean, they make comics for different people, and the important part is that everybody gets to enjoy what they like and that's awesome Justin: What don't you like about this? Not enough Venoms? You need more Symbiotes here? Pete: No, just Gwenom is cool for people, not one of my favorite characters. And hey, awesome for other people, just not my cup of tea. And I respect people want to make comics that they want to read, and then you get to pick what you want to pick. Alex: You sound so sad right now, Pete. I liked this book a lot more than I thought I would. I do like Spider-Gwen or Ghost-Spider or whatever you're calling her. I think she's good. This is a good tie in. It feels natural to bring her into this, given her status quo. And I think in particularly the art by Flaviano is really good- Pete: Art is great. Alex: … and very consistent with the Gwen Stacy Ghost-Spider book, if you read that. Next up, Sweet Tooth: The Return #3 from DC Comics by Jeff Lemire. This gets you the story of whatever is going on with this new Gus who might be the old Gus, we're not quite clear, who is being tracked out of this post apocalypse that's living under the earth. This book is so wild to read, particularly in reference and bouncing off of what's happening to Sweet Tooth. It's fascinating. Justin, I know you were a little conflicted, I think, about the second issue. How did you feel about the third one? Justin: I mean, I still like the book. It's funny. It feels like just a sped up version of the original series in a way. And I do think we're going to get probably next issue the reveal that this Gus is a clone of the original Gus and it's sort of like someone trying to re-engineer a religious event for all these people and return to the earth, and all of that. And so I think that's a cool story, but it definitely feels like we're digging up fossils that we were there for when they were buried- Pete: No way. Justin: … if that makes sense. Pete: This was an awesome, awesome issue. Earl is my new favorite thing. This was- Alex: This is a large elephant man who kills people. Pete: … Yeah. And Earl was just such a bad-ass and such a fun addition to this book. I mean the fuck me Earl is loose just before his head gets ripped off, that's just great. That's just great comics. That's just fun stuff. Yeah. Kind of a creepy reveal of the kind of like two versions of him. But I think this is a very interesting kind of book as it does kind of speed through this, which I … It says three to six, like they don't have time for this. I appreciate the fact that it's fast forward a little bit. Justin: Of course, I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I'm saying that's just what it feels like. Pete: Yeah, so … Alex: That's definitely a cool quote for the cover, “I don't have time for this shit.” Justin: Yeah. Alex: I really liked this a lot, it's just it's a weird read. To your point, Justin, I'm curious too. I'm more curious to reflect on it when it's done and how it works in relationship to the first Sweet Tooth more than anything else. Next up, A Man Among Ye #4 from Image Comics, written by Stephanie Phillips, art by Craig Cermak. This is ending this title, I believe, for now. It focuses on a bunch of female pirates who are teaming together. We finally get that team in this issue as they try to rescue one of their boyfriends, I guess, that's the best way of putting it. Pete, you've been a big fan of the series. Pete: Yeah, this is really great. And I think this ends really well. It's a little heartbreaking what kind of happens. But I've been really impressed with the action, I love the storytelling and I think this is a really kind of cool way of everybody kind of coming together here at the end so we can kind of get more ventures hopefully. But I thought this was a great kind of a fun pirate story with some cool twists in it to kind of update it. And I appreciate a lot of the rage in what was happening. Alex: Justin, what about you? Justin: Some comics are for Pete, and some comics are for Justin and some comics are for Alex. And this one, this was fine. I think I said last time like I'm not a crazy fan of this. Reading this issue, it feels very much like an old black and white Disney movie in it's sort of storytelling and style. Once I was like, “Ah, I think that's what the vibe is here,” I enjoyed it more, but it's all right. Alex: Yeah, I would have honestly wanted a little more from it. I want to kind of want to see where it goes, and maybe now that this team is all together where it goes to the second arc, excited about that. But art by Craig Cermak was good. I think the writing was solid. I had a fun time reading this. Next step, The Immortal Hulk #42 from Marvel, written by Al Ewing, art by Alex Lins and Adam Gotham. Gotham, perhaps. Justin: Oh, interesting. And on a Marvel book. Alex: That's weird. Justin: I think it's Gotham. Alex: Gotham. Justin: Oh, Gorham actually. Alex: Gorham? Pete: Wow. Justin: Yeah. Alex: All right. Interesting. Anyway- Pete: Actually, it's Jones, I think is what it is. Yeah, it's Gorham. Alex: In this issue, we're getting split focus between Henry Gyrich is taking over Gamma Flight- Justin: I think it's Gyrich. Alex: … Gyrich? Justin: Definitely. Alex: Have I been pronouncing it wrong my entire life? Justin: Yes. Alex: Jesus Christ. Justin: It's pronounced [inaudible 00:25:37]. Pete: I don't want that attention. Alex: Anyway, some guy is taking Gamma Flight to task. Meanwhile, the leader is trying to figure out why he can't get the whole taking over the world, the Immortal Hulk thing to work for him. He figures out some stuff by the end, so does Gamma Flight. Lots of stuff going on here and lots of movement to this issue. What did you guys think? Justin: This book is great. It's continues to be great. This feels very much like a sort of middle type issue, so it's not the like big moves happening. I do like the reveal that our newspaper reporter, who's been an ongoing character in this run, has been affected by the gamma rays. That's a big turn and reveal. And I love, love the reveal at the end. Alex: Pete, what about you? Pete: Yeah. I mean, it continues to be gross and creepy in all the right ways. Yeah. I mean, we got the leader trying kind of figure things out a little bit in this issue, and then some other storylines going on. Yeah, just the monster stuff is so insane and this stuff. I'm interested to see where this is going. It continues to be a really solid book. Alex: Yeah, I love this as well. My one caveat that I was weirdly struck with this issue, I wish, I know that they can because they've got to release a whole book every month, I wish that they would have waited for Joe Bennett to do all of it. Because Joe Bennett's art is so phenomenal and his designs are so disgusting in exactly the right way, that whenever he does an issue, it's heads and tails above everything else. And we've gotten some phenomenal stuff as well. I think the art in this was good. Alex Lins, Adam Gorham, you say. Justin: I know, I think you've got to give it up for Gorham. Alex: Yeah, both really good things across the board. But man, there's something slightly missing in terms of the fucked upednes of Joe Bennett's art in this issue that I would have wanted a little bit more. Justin: But I also think this issue wasn't about that, this was sort of dealing with some of the other characters. If we're going to take a break from the crazy body stuff, I'm fine having another artist jump on. But I got to get up for Al Ewing for really plumbing all the depths of the Hulk villains to hit all the weirdest marks, and we do it again here. Alex: Yes, I agree with you on that cliffhanger. Let's move on to talk about American Vampire 1976 #4 from DC Comics, written by Scott Snyder, art by Rafael Albuquerque. Pete: Albuquerque. Alex: In this issue we're ramping things up in a big way as our heroes, I guess, question mark, sort of try to start to figure out how they can stop the apocalypse, things get worse before they get better. What did you guys think about this issue? Pete: This was a really amazing, fun issue. Love the crazy team up. A really intense last page. The art is really unbelievable. This was really clicking for me. I really enjoyed this issue. Justin: If you walk in a room where the chairs are too big, get out of there, because someone's coming home and sitting- Pete: Yeah, that's a good note. Justin: … in those big ass chairs. Alex: I broke into a house one time and there was a chair that was too big, and there was a chair that was too small, but then there was one chair that was just right, that's the one that I sat in and then I broke it. Pete: And then the bears came home and murdered you like your name was Archie? Alex: Yeah, that was a lot of things all at the same time, Pete. Justin: Interestingly you were in a house that bears own. Alex: I got totally bear-zoned, if you know what I mean. Justin: Yeah, you got bowned. Pete: Yes. Alex: Yeah, great book. Really awesome every issue. Let's move on and talk about Seven Secrets … Yes, what? Justin: No, I do. I really like this book. Scott Snyder has such a mastery of these characters, and I think it's building up to something really exciting. Alex: Yeah. I guess the main thing is just like, it is wild to be in a thing that started with something so relatively simple as, “There's different type of vampires,” and now it's like, “Every monster,” but I love it, it's fun to read. Seven Secrets #6 from Boom! Studios, written by Tom Taylor, art by Daniele Di Nicuolo. We have wondered the entire series what these secrets are, they just kind of talked about what the secrets are. Finally, we get an inkling of what is going on- Pete: A little taste of the secret. Alex: … with them as our heroes get attacked by the Keepers, the Villains, manage to escape at the last second. And we open up the mythology of the book in a really big and very weird way. I thought this issue was not only great as the series has been, but very necessary in terms of the run, because there's only so long you can keep these secrets- Pete: Yeah, exactly. Alex: … secret from the reader before it starts to get annoying and they start to really pull back the veil here. Justin: Yeah. It's great to hear your secrets. Go ahead. Pete: I was really impressed because I was like, “Man, it's the sixth issue when we're finally getting a little taste of the secrets,” I was like, “There's no way to build up.” But the fact that it is such a huge kind of thing that happens when they open up one of the cases, I was like, “Okay, great. This is worth it. This is totally insane. The action is over the top.” It's really interesting how something can start at one place and kind of end up here. It's really impressive, the writing and the storytelling. It's great. Justin: Yeah. I feel like Tom Taylor set out at the beginning of this book and was like, “I'm going to write a comic that is truly an anime, that is very much in the style of an anime series or anime movie,” and that's what this is. This feels very much like it's- Pete: In all the right ways. Justin: … Taylor-made to be an anime. Alex: I get it. Justin: Taylor-made to be an anime. Alex: Let's move on and talk about S.W.O.R.D. #2 from Marvel, written by Al Ewing, art by Valerio Schiti. This is also tying into the King in Black event, though it's not necessarily labeled as such, I believe, on the cover. I believe this following how it's affecting the X-Men side of the world and things get real bad by the end here with this weird defacto team of folks. What did you think? Pete? Pete: Sure. Alex: Justin? Justin: Yes. This was a weirder … Like we were talking about with the King in Black stuff, this definitely feels like it's a fair distance away from the main storyline. But it's a fun, random team of X-Men. And it's nice to read a book with Al Ewing sort of dabbling around in the X-Men world. I like the places ends. I like to see these characters random. Magneto sort of feels like older Magneto. Sebastian Shaw. We haven't seen these characters in a while, so I enjoyed seeing them in this book. Alex: Pete. Justin: Yeah, Ewing is doing amazing stuff on Hulk and so cool. Alex: This is wild. This is like straight out of the nineties X-Men book. It's very different from a lot of the other X-Men stuff, and it is tangential. I mean, it's all of them living on the S.W.O.R.D. Space Station and try to figure out like basically reasons why they should not go fight Knull, the King in Black, is essentially what happens to this issue. Alex: But it is one of those books where I'm reading, I'm like, “Oh yeah, I remember that character from the nineties. Okay, that's cool.” But like you said, a good cliffhanger at the end that definitely makes me excited to read #3. And last but not least, Bloodshot #10 from Valiant Comics rate by Tim Seeley, art by Brett Booth- Pete: Don't you feel it. Alex: … and Pedro Andreo. This is a book that straight up feels like it's trying to capitalize off the massive success of the Bloodshot movie that never happened. But regardless, Tim Seeley is doing his best here to put out a fun over the top, insane, cinematic Bloodshot book. Justin: Yeah, and I think he is succeeding. I like a lot of the movies in this book. I mean, aren't we all strung out Bloodshot who comes back in the middle of the issue and tries to pick a fight, but he doesn't have enough protein? That's what we're all living in right now. And I like the line, “Come on you Jared Leto-looking motherfucker.” Pete: Yeah, that's great. Justin: Very funny. Alex: That's just Tim Seeley. Justin: Tim Seeley does a great job of combining great action with some fun minds. Alex: It's wild how much happens in this book, it feels like three entire arcs of a Bloodshot comic happening within 20 something pages which is an insane pace to read. But it's fun, I enjoyed it. I don't know. Pete: Yeah, I mean- Justin: Eat your protein. Pete: … Tim Seeley is a great writer. He adds humor to all the right things. Bloodshot to me is not one of my favorite characters, the movie didn't help that at all. I thought this was kind of a more interesting take, but it was very fast-paced, but it had some great lines in it. Justin: Let me ask you, Pete, what don't you like about him? That he's like Deadpool, a character you like, or the Punisher, another character you like? Pete: I don't know what it is, man. All right? I don't know. Justin: You don't like nanites? They're just tiny robots. Pete: Yeah. Don't trust them. Alex: He kills people and eats meat, what is there that you don't like about that, Pete? Pete: Okay. On paper, it seems like I should love this guy. I get it guys. Justin: Tim Seeley, one of your favs. Pete: Oh, yeah. Justin: Touchy-feely Tim Seeley. Alex: His name is Bloodshot. Blood and shot are two of your top 10 words. Pete: It's okay guys, I get what you're saying. Justin: Whenever we used to go out to bars, you'd be like, “I'll have a blood shot,” and we would all drink blood with you because that's what you demanded. Pete: Yeah. Alex: And then you would shout, “Dracule.” All right, folks. I think that's it for The Stack. If you'd like to support us, patriotic.com/comicbookclub.

Alex: And on The Stack we talk about a bunch of new comic books that have come out this very week. We review them, we give our unfiltered [crosstalk 00:00:23]. Pete: Just try to filter us. Good luck. Alex: It's never going to happen. And we're going to come out raw and hard on this first one. Pete: What? Well, don't say things like that. Alex: Yeah, but no, I'll say whatever I want. Home Sick Pilots number one from Image Comics, written by Dan Watters, art by Caesar Wijngaard. I don't know, I probably should check that before we got on the air or anything like that. Justin: I think Caspar, is Caspar Wijngaard. Alex: Yeah. This is a new title obviously from Image Comics from two creators that frankly I don't think I've ever heard of, but this is … I wanted to put this up front because there's been a lot of hype on this. And there is a very big, in my opinion, bold debut that is well worth that hype. This focuses on an indie band, one member who ends up in a haunted house, disappears, weird things go on, crazy things go on. And it almost feels like to me a spiritual descendant of like, I don't know, so many different things at the same time that it feels original. But the first things that came to mind are like Locke and Key a little bit, Paper Girls a little bit. Pete: Paper girls. Yeah. Alex: And it's great. I was so happy with this book and I'm so excited to see where it goes next. Did you guys feel the same way? Justin: Yeah, I agree completely. I thought this book was great. The art's really nice and it really makes you really feel along with the characters, especially in the first third, that when you're young and you're like, “Let's go fuck around. Let's go mess something up. Let's go … ” That rebellious vibe. They do a good job of expressing that in a fun way. And then it does a nice job also of being a horror story that also edges into comic book world. It's not just a horror story. And I really appreciated that. Pete: Yeah. I think this is really a fantastic first issue. Does a great job of getting us set up with who's who and what's going on, and then tells a really crazy story. I also really love the use of the all black panels are really great. Just some really fantastic storytelling [inaudible 00:02:39] perspective. They really did a great, great job. I can't recommend this comic enough. It's really interesting. And I cannot wait to see how this unfolds, really, really impressive. Alex: There's a double page spread in the middle of the book that was laid out in a way that honestly as a comic book reader was kind of confusing for me, but once I realized what they were going for, I really appreciated and liked, where two different groups are coming to a haunted house at the same time, but coming from opposite ends of the house. So the way you read it is you follow one group and then they meet in the middle and then you follow the other group from the other side of the page. Alex: One is going the way that we read in America, the other is going the way that you read anime. But it took me a second for my brain to adjust to that. But I thought it was such a smart, fascinating way of laying out the page. And that's what plays throughout the book is just these top of mind choices that they're going for. Justin: Yeah. It's just a book that feels very cool. They're all musicians, they seem like they're in cool bands. It feels like it's just a good- Alex: You want to hang out with them, wondering what they're doing. Will they give you a call? Pete: Justin, it's okay, you're cool, man. You don't have to just want to hang out with the cool kids all the time. Justin: No, I'm just saying like, “Hey nerds, I'm going to hang out with these cool musicians. I'm out of here.” Pete: Watch you become a nerd. Alex: Let's move on and talk about the opposite of a nerd, which as we know is jock with Venom number 31 from Marvel, written by Donny Cates, art by Iban Coello. This is picking right up off of the cliff hanger from King in Black number one, where Eddie Brock was thrown off the top. Love the sounds of coke being poured to the background. Pete: Sorry. Making the last of my rum and coke here, so apologies. Justin: Pete. Alex: It's okay. You got to listen. Justin: Pete, it's 10:00 AM. What are you doing? Alex: Cook breakfast for your kids. Venom number 31, Eddie Brock has been thrown off of a building. And this takes place during 32 seconds, 31 seconds. Justin: 32 seconds, yeah. Alex: 32 seconds, could have been 31 seconds, could match the number of the book, where he is falling to the ground and various things are going on. And he's thinking back on his life and the mistakes you've made. What'd you think about this issue as a follow-up to King in Black number one in particular? Pete: Well, I thought it was really very interesting, this kind of using this kind of free for all to tell the story that's kind of insane and kind of, I think fits what's going on. This is a very over the top kind of insane thing that's happening in this book. I thought this was kind of an interesting way to kind of tell this story. The arts phenomenal, the action's very intense. Yeah, it's impressive how much store we get in as a person is falling to maybe their death. But the art I cannot say is just how creepy and weird and disgusting it is. It's really impressive the way they're doing it. Justin: Yeah. I mean, especially after how big the first issue of this crossover was with so much happening, I really like this issue despite the fact that it takes place in 32 seconds really slows the action down. And it's sort of like setting the table, we're meeting a lot of the players that feel like they are going to be the core characters in this crossover. Eddie Brock, obviously his son, Dylan know. And we really get in their heads as we are moving forward. I appreciate this. And it's like one of those issues that sort of just like a show piece, it all takes place as this one quick thing is happening and the art's amazing. Pete: Yeah. It seems like the son's going to be a part of this somehow. Alex: Yeah, I think so maybe, maybe a little bit. To what you're saying Justin- Justin: Well, let me just say from the last issue was a huge broad strokes, you saw as much of Dylan as you did of Captain America. I do think this issue is important to be like, “Yes, Dylan is the linchpin of this crossover.” Alex: Yeah. Well, to your point Justin, I think what's really nice about this is creating different tones. It could feel since you're coming from the same writer, you could be getting big bombastic King in Black and then big bombastic Venom, but instead he's using them to hit two different storytelling modes to continue the same story. And it's very smart decision. Alex: Let's move on to talk about The Comic Book History of Animation number one from IDW written by Fred Van Lente, art and letters by Ryan Dunlavey. We have talked to Fred and Ryan about many, many series that they have done, Comic Book History of Comics, Action Philosophers, other things like that. They have been diving into specific histories forever, and this is no different, just a reliable duo. And I say that in the best sense that when you see Comic Book History of Animation at the front, you see who's doing it. You know what you're getting, it's smart, it's funny, it's informative, but it's a good story at the same time. I just had a blast reading this and it's so packed with information, is a good value for readers as well. Pete: Yeah. I loved the kind of like, you've heard stories over the years, but this is really informative. The fact that there's a spinning house that rotates with the sun, that was really cool to find out. Yeah, this is really cool, very nerdy in all the right ways. The art does such a great job of keeping things action oriented and fun. It's not just like facts, facts, facts, they do a good way using the storytelling to kind of keep things fun and light. It's really impressive what they can accomplish. Justin: Yeah. To your point, Pete, they really do a great job of just selecting the facts, details and just story points that they tell about these historical figures. What I got really excited about is the animation studio that was like basically the first Hollywood studio in Midwood, Brooklyn. I want to go drive out there and look around and be like, “This is the first Hollywood style studio, is right sort of 20 minutes away from me.” That's awesome. Pete: Wow. Alex: Well, to that point, I think it's interesting the different things you can pick out. The thing that really drew me in was the story of Winsor McCay, who created Little Nemo in Slumberland, and how crucial he was to the development of animation as an art form, which I feel like was one of those facts that maybe I had heard at some point and kind of ignored or not really gotten stuck in my brain. And to hear it again in this way, and as part of the story that eventually leads up to Walt Disney while not necessarily getting into Disney Studios. It's good, it just really draws a narrative line between these things, which is what the best history stories do or the best history lessons do, and this is one of them. Justin: There's another great panel where Walt Disney, who was sort of a dick, all of his animators that he had crossed are flipping him off wearing Mickey ears, that will really resonate. Pete: I was a huge fan of Felix the Cat as a kid. And so that part where Felix is pissing on exec's desk really made me laugh. Alex: Good times. Justin: Yeah, you'll laugh so hard your heart will ache, your sides will ache and your heart will go pitter pat. Alex: Sweet Tooth: The Return number two from DC Comics by Jeff Lemire. This is, as you could figure out for the title, the continuation, reverberation, whatever you want to call it, the original title. Pete: The Return. Alex: Well, I think there's a lot of things going on here. With Sweet Tooth we don't necessarily know the full story or exactly what is going on with this new sweet tooth. But we find out a lot more about the world that he is in this issue, as well as potentially what's going on and how it maybe ties to the first series, or maybe not. It feels like there's more swerves going on. This is just great to revisit again in this new way. It's eerie. It's weird. It's dark. I am loving this series. Pete: Yeah. This is a crazy issue. We're slowly kind of learning more of what's going on. And I really liked this kind of new friend that we meet. I think this is a very interesting character. I'm excited to learn more. This is very exciting to be back in this world kind of in a fresh way. And I really hate the creepy old church guy, but I'm excited to read more. This does a great job of getting you pumped for the next issue. Justin: Yeah, I agree. I'm curious how this is sort of going to roll out because it does feel like they're telling the same story in some ways, but in just a total different mashed up iteration. So I'm curious sort of what the point of that is. Why are we hitting these same characters again in the same way, very much in the like, it's happening again, that sort of TB trope. I'm curious what that will mean. And I just got to say nobody draws crusty old villainist dudes better than Jeff Lemire. Pete: Yeah. Alex: Yeah. Next up, Scarenthood number two from IDW Story, and art by Nick Roche, colors by Chris O'Halloran. We had Nick Roche on the story, on a live podcast a couple of weeks back, really enjoyed the first issue of this one. I think in particular, Justin, you were probably the biggest fan of the first issue, which found a bunch of parents dealing with some weird going on at their kids' school. How do you think the second issue held up? Justin: I really enjoyed it again as well. I think what I said last time is this comic does such a great job of simultaneously really being about the horrors of everyday parenthood, as well as touching on this supernatural horror that is really just boiling underneath this town and these characters. And this issue does the same thing. We get a lot of great scenes, their main character and his kid that he's raising on his own, and sort of the little mistakes you make when you're a parent, when you're distracted and you apologize. And it just felt, the detail work here is so good. And so I got to give it up for Nick for putting that together. Pete: Yeah. I think this really continues to be a very interesting book. I love the kind of like almost scary things that kind of happen in this. We're getting a little bit more story and a little bit less of the kind of ghost, kind of stuff and more like, okay, this is the team that we're going to be kind of leading this expedition as we move on. I think this is a really great issue. The art is fantastic. It's kind of a cool world and I'm excited to see where it goes in the art. Again, I really like it. Alex: Like we talked about with the first issue, I think this does a phenomenal job of capturing the frustration and terror of being a parent, and then funneling that into actual horror things and ghosts. There are moments in here as Pete pointed out, there's less of the supernatural activity, but the moments that were really just made my heart beat faster were the things about being, thinking you're a bad parent, being a bad parent, acting like a bad parent. All of those things are very true to life in the best way. And on top of that, you do have this really nice art and this spooky story talk into at the same time. It was good stuff. Next up- Justin: One thing that really resonated with me is multiple times in this issue he's doing something and his kid is like, “Hey,” and he looks at the clock, he's like, “Oh shit, I got to go do this thing.” That was very real. Alex: Yes. Vampirella: The Dark Powers number one from Dynamite, written by Dan Abnett and art by Paul Davidson. In this issue Vampirella is now teaming up with a super team made up of people from project superpowers, I think is what's going on here. And she's just got her crazy vampire methods and they don't like them. Justin: They don't like them. [crosstalk 00:15:03]. Pete: Oh, go ahead. Alex: Go ahead, Pete. Pete: I was just going to say that that's a cool idea, right? It's like put the person who doesn't do well on a team, on a team. You know what I mean? Because there is this thing of like, oh, this is my arch enemy, and they keep coming back to haunt me. And it's like, well, if you took care of business the first time, it wouldn't keep going. So having Vampirella unleashed on these bad guys is very fun. She likes her work. She's very good at it. And so yeah, it's kind of fun to see her not trying to fit in, but being on this team and how they're going to kind of deal with her. Justin: Let me ask you, what is the team that you would be put on that would be the biggest mismatch, and it can be like a Cub scout trip leader. What's the team that would be the biggest? Alex: Maybe a podcast or something like that. Pete: Yeah. I'd say a podcast with two assholes is what my answer is. Justin: And so you'd be the mismatch by being an asshole? Pete: Touché or douche as I should say. Alex: Let's move on and talk about Seven Secrets number five from Boom! Studios, written by Tom Taylor, illustrated by Daniele Di Nicuolo. In this we're dealing with the fallout of the attack on all the secrets they go to hide from their enemy, and things go very, very badly leading up potentially to finally finding out what these secrets are. This series is as usual very well-crafted by Tom Taylor. I like the anime inspired art [inaudible 00:16:39], I guess inspired art by Daniele Di Nicuolo. Just a good series through and through. Pete: Yeah. Tom Taylor is a great writer and this is a very interesting, cool idea. In this issue though we kind of get this like … there's someone on the inside because they keep doing the wrong thing. And it's a little obvious where it's like, attacking us all at once, oh no, it's got … what should we do? Oh, let's all go to the same spot. And it's like, “Oh no, that's a horrible idea. But here we go.” But all that said, I'm really impressed with the art and the storytelling, I can't wait to see what happens next. Justin: Yeah, I think the [inaudible 00:17:22] influenced art, I think it's really working. And I think the story really plays into that in a nice way. It feels like that was the intention throughout, which is great. And I just want to know a couple of the secrets. I don't want to be greedy. I just want to know two secrets. Alex: Yeah. Right. Justin: Or maybe three. In general I don't know secrets. I keep secrets. I'm great at secrets. Pete: Whoa, I don't believe that. Justin: I've kept all of your secrets, Pete. Pete: Whoa. Alex: Let's move on to talk about Crossover number two from Image Comics written by Donny Cates, art by Geoff Shaw. The first issue we found out that in Denver, I believe in Colorado, a big superhero crossover from every possible super year universe broke out, a dome appeared over Denver, locking it off. Some comic book characters were left outside, some were not. We found out different pieces of the story as we've followed a comic book shop worker has got embroiled with one of those rogue comic book characters. Find out a lot more about the state of the world in this issue, as well as having many, many teases for other things going on in this world, as well as the real world. What'd you think about this issue and how it picked up on the first one? Justin: I mean, it's fucked up that there's all these dead actual comic book writers in the beginning. Alex: Yeah, they kill Scott Snyder, Brian Kayvon, Robert Kirkman, and somebody else. Justin: Chip Zdarsky. And do you think CNN would be leading with these names, all these comic book writers? Chip Zdarsky, Scott Snyder, I don't think so. Alex: I did like the joke where they're like Brian Kayvon, Marvel comics writer. And I read that first page I was like, “Marvel comics writer,” and then the next page is the comic show crowder being like, “Marvel comics writer.” So well played. Justin: That was very funny. And you could tell that this is all sort of, the winks here are strong and good. Pete: Strong links for sure. Justin: Strong links. And the story, it's such a good concept that it's one of those premises that almost feels like it's going to break under the weight of the story. But Donny Cates does such a great job of really straddling that line and keeping us just on the good side of like, “No, this is working, these people are going to enter the dome and encounter all of your favorite superheroes or maybe not.” We get the scene in the superhero prison where you see the arms of some of your characters you recognize. Pete: Yeah, that's really cool. Justin: Yeah, it's cool. Alex: It's like Batman's there, Spawn's there, Spiderman, bunch of others like that. It's definitely- Justin: The Thing. Alex: … Easter egg heavy. The Thing, yeah. Pete: I really thought the way that they intertwined different styles of art in this book is really impressive. A lot of the shading and shadowing and coloring really is impressive. And it fits well in this story, which is really cool. And then we got a really creepy reveal at the end. I think this is very interesting. Unfortunately, they lean a little hard on the comic book shop person is a lot of their god. It's like, I would just like one normal comic book shop owner, just one time, just one person- Alex: Doesn't exist. Pete: … that's got their shit. But I really like the story. The Cates does good work. I'm excited to see how this unrails, unreveals itself. Alex: Yeah. Good stuff across the board as you mentioned, Geoff Shaw's art is really gorgeous as well. Let's move on, talk about Spider-Man number five from Marvel, written by J.J Abrams and Henry Abrams, art by Sara Pichelli. This was a huge launch I want to say a year ago at this point, something like that. Justin: Ages ago. Alex: Yeah, ages ago, because of course, J.J Abrams and his son behind it, unclear how it fit into Spider-Man mythology, but it was very much its own thing. And of course, circumstances worked against it with COVID and delayed things. Seems like maybe it would have been delayed a little bit anyway, but who knows? But how do you think this wrapped up? Justin: Sad. Sadly. I mean, we talked about this I think back when the first issue came out that seeing Peter Parker be a distant parent and a jerk or an absent parent replicating the mistakes that he suffered from where his parents died obviously and then uncle Ben died, seemed very out of character to me. So that was a hard pill to swallow. And then to have the way this issue ends up, I was like, “Ah.” I appreciate the sacrifice Peter makes. And I liked the reveal that we get at the end here, but I was just such a … it just bummed me out the way it ended. Pete: Yeah. It's really kind of crazy and over the top. And it's got a little kind of like aliens meets Spiderman kind of vibe to it. But I feel like the heart of Spider-Man is still in this story, which is nice. At the end of the day still trying to do what he can, trying to do the best that he can. Alex: Whatever a spider can. Pete: Yeah. Bu it's very gross and it's kind of scary, but there's some heartwarming stuff in it. Alex: This was kind of a bummer for me. I think Sara Pichelli's art is always great. And there's some phenomenal action sequences in here. But this is quippy even for a Spiderman book, everybody is joking all the time even in the middle of dire circumstances to the point where everybody kind of sounds the same. It wrapped up very quickly. I don't know if it was a victim of pacing necessarily, it certainly felt like that could be part of it. But after an intriguing start, I felt like this fizzled a bit at the end for me, even if it is worth picking up for Pichelli's art, who is only as good on Spider-Man personally. Justin: Yeah. Alex: I thought you were going to say more. American Vampire number 1976, a lot of issues on that one. American Vampire 1976, number three, DC Comics written by Scott Snyder, art by Raphael Albuquerque. I just continue the storyline where Skinner Sweet and his pals are robbing an old train, great train robbery, a little bit of a twist on that as they fight the edge of the world and some other dark things go on as some of other characters track down Dracula. Man I love how much they're blowing out the mythology of this book. And just as always, Scott Snyder loves his details in a very good way, and Raphael Albuquerque- Justin: Guy loves details. Alex: Loves details. Raphael Albuquerque just draws the hell out of a book. Pete: Yeah, the Querque just kills it. One of my favorite artists on a book called- Justin: Never heard him call the Querque. Pete: But yeah, this was my kind of favorite. Alex: Hey, who's your favorite Star Trek captain, Pete? Pete: Kirk. Alex: James Kirky. Pete: Yeah. Alex: Which favorite thing to eat on Thanksgiving, Pete? Pete: Jerky. Justin: Beef turkey. Pete: Stuffing. No, but a really fun bit at the start. I really liked that. And then they had kind of … What I like about this is they're having fun, but there's also some crazy kind of ideas poke around here. I wrote this down, the world becomes a greenhouse and all the buried secrets will come poking up. I thought that was a very kind of cool line in there. I mean, the arts phenomenal, the action in this issue, this issue really moves. It's got a great kind of pace to it. Amazing last panel. Yeah, this is great issue. Justin: I think this book is one of the most consistently successful comic books on the stand. Scott Snyder and the Querque know how to really just deliver the great action, great character moves, while at the same time pushing the story forward. The reveals at the end of the issue are super exciting. This book is just so good. Alex: Next step, Getting it Together number three, written from Image Comics, written by Sina Grace and Omar Spahi, art by Jenny D. Fine and Sina Grace. Continuing our story of a bunch of friends if you will in San Francisco, mixing it up romantically. We get some big band stuff goes down in London. Justin: A lot of big band music, classic 1950s big band stuff. Alex: I like this story. I'm into these characters. I like how they relate to each other. I do think the band drama is really good at particular and well done. There's a lot of nuance there in terms of how the characters react to the fact that their band might be falling apart, that I thought was very nicely drawn in terms of the characters. How'd you guys feel? Pete: Yeah, it's weird, but I agree with you, Alex. I really love the band stuff. Justin: Huh, it is weird. Pete: And I feel like that's really kind of- Alex: Look at us, quirky in the turkey. That's what they always call us. Pete: I don't know about that, but I think the art does a great with the paneling and the pacing to kind of really give it this tone. And I think this is kind of cool. You see texting and when it's done not so well in comics, but this is kind of a fun way to kind of have these texts conversations. And they did a good job of trying to be creative about it, which I think is impressive. But overall, I think this story really continues to move forward in an interesting way that does a great job of getting the reader excited for more information. Justin: Pete, I thought you're going to say, “You see texting,” and I honestly hate these textings. Why can't you just give a call or just say hello, I don't want to get a bunch of words from you. Alex: Send a letter through the mail. Justin: That's the way we used to do it in my hometown, letters. Alex: Back in the civil war, which I fought in. Pete: Oh my God. Alex: Anyway, good stuff. Next up … Oh, go ahead. Justin: I really like this as well. It's funny we have so many band based comics today, they approach it in a very different way. I said this back when we had the team on our show. But to me, this has some Scott Pilgrim fives in a very good way. If you like Scott Pilgrim, this feels like a updated version of that, where we get to explore those same worlds in a fun and reverent and visually interesting way. I love the way the issue ends with the music performance and into the drug stuff, really great. Alex: All right. Origins number two from Boom! Studios, created by Arash Amel, Lee Krieger and Joseph Oxford, script by Clay McLeod Chapman, and art by Jakub Rebelka. This is continuing a weird future story of a virus that's mostly wiped everybody out seemingly there- Pete: Oh, no. Alex: Yeah. Justin: Yeah, it happens. Alex: There is a guy who, as we find out, spoiler, but right at the top of the issue, has been cloned, who has been resurrected, potentially a bunch of times we find out a lot more about his past here. I think our general impression of the first issue was gorgeous, but confusing. Do you feel like it's more straightforward an issue too? Justin: I do. Pete: Well, I think for parts of it, yeah. We get the main characters kind of deal, which is interesting. But then it gets kind of really tripped out with what the main character is going through. But man, the art is fantastic. It really feels like this other worldly, which is very impressive. There's also some sweet small moments. Yeah, it's a little like, I got a little confused by the end of what's happening, but man, the art and storytelling are fantastic. This does feel very original and cool as far as the story goes, so I'm into it. Justin: I feel like of all the books we've talked about and maybe in a while, this feels very much tailor made to become a feature film. And maybe that's the intention of this book. Because I do think this issue lays out some of the factors and sort of the places where the characters are a little bit better, and we get sort of locked in on our trio who begin this journey. So yeah, I like this, I think the second issue really pushes it forward in a good way. Alex: Next up, King in Black: Namor, number one from Marvel written by, Kurt Busiek, art by Benjamin Dewey. Right off the bat, I will say, I thought this was a great Namor story, it's Namor dealing with some issues in the present while he's flashing back to his past. So we get fun, young, shirtless Namor, kind of like a little skinnier, a little smaller, deal with [crosstalk 00:30:27]. Justin: Tiny. Alex: Yeah. Justin: Shirtless. Alex: Yeah, he is, it's cute. [crosstalk 00:30:29]. Pete: Don't make it weird. Alex: He's like a cute teen Namor. Justin: Now as you were saying his nipples are a little smaller. Pete: what the fuck man? Alex: They're very hard because he's under the water. Justin: Yes, cold. Pete: Oh my God, what? Justin: It's cold down there. Alex: Nothing's going on, you know what I mean? Pete: Oh my God. Justin: It's like from that song from The Little Mermaid like, it's always colder and your nipples are harder under the sea. Pete: What the fuck. Alex: You got those [inaudible 00:30:53], doubt where [inaudible 00:30:54], under the sea. Pete: All right. Stop. Stop. Alex: It's a good Namor book. I don't understand how it could actually King in Black. And this is a problem, I mean, I do want to talk about this book in a second, but I love the King in Black number one. As we talked about in this very Stack, I liked the Venom issue. Pete: Oh, in this very Stack? Alex: In this very Stack. The other issues they've released so far have been weird. I don't know what this has to do with King in Black yet, this issue, the [crosstalk 00:31:27] which we reviewed last week also was like, here's this new concept? There's a wet dragon in here somewhere, don't worry about it too much. And then I don't know if you guys read the Atlantis Attacks issue that Greg Pak wrote, which was real good, but ended with the most red skies of red skies possible things where they're like, I wonder what's next for us. In the background there were some dragons and that was it. And it's just like, don't label it as an event if it doesn't actually have anything to do with the event. Pete: Yet, they could be leading up to it. I appreciate the fact that Marvel was like, “Hey, listen, we need you to tie it in.” And they were like, “You go fuck yourself, I'm telling the story I want to tell. We'll put a fucking banner on the top, so everybody will be happy.” I think this is a good issue, Namor is usually a complete douche bag. So it's nice to see younger, less douchey version a little bit. I think there's a lot of cool characters [crosstalk 00:32:25]. I'm not going to fucking answer that bullshit. Justin: Honestly I'm a larger nippled Namor guy. From the beginning I appreciate sort of Namor. Alex: Well, how he's grown into his nipples, right? Justin: I mean, it's a thing that as he gets older, it's part of his history, that his nipples- Pete: You two are the fucking worst. Alex: I always like to call them, I'd like to call him Namor the [inaudible 00:32:48]. Justin: That's the way they originally created the character. Pete: Don't laugh at that. Justin: He was the nazi man. He wasn't even under- Alex: Stan Lee watches the [inaudible 00:32:57] days like, “I want a character with rock on nipples.” Justin: I mean, that's probably a 100% accurate. Alex: Probably. And Steve Ditko was like, “I don't know, I'll draw some fucking bigger rounds nipples, we'll see what happens.” Justin: In the far future Namor is mostly nipple. I think I agree with you. It is weird that these stories exist under this banner, but I also think this is a good way to launch new titles, new character, directions, everything, so I'm here for it. And I do think, well, there was Nereus [inaudible 00:33:32] in this issue. They do one of the characters that King talks about how there's some black rocks hidden underwater somewhere that probably are like, “Oh, a bunch of symbionts or something.” Eventually we'll get there. Pete: Yeah, there you go. Zalbs, what are you talking about? Alex: I know. And again- Justin: And also apparently this will tie into King in Black number two, which will then spin back into the Namor number two book. Because Namor apparently has something to do, because here's the thing, symbionts, very gloopy underwater. It's a weakness. Alex: There's a point to this book where somebody offers somebody piece of food. They're like, you've got to try this, this is really crispy. And that didn't track for me, because there's not a lot of things that are very crispy underwater. Justin: That's fair. That is a 100%. I will say if you were to eat a lobster whole, it would be crispy. Alex: That's true. Or some coral, crunched down some coral, that might be crispy. Justin: Depends on how good your teeth are. Alex: Points retracted. This is a good book. Let's move on, The Vein number three from ODI press written by Eliot Rahal and illustrated by Emily Pearson. We checked it on the first issue of this book, which is kind of turning into its own sort of American vampire story following a group of the empire criminals throughout history, throughout important moments in American history or world history I guess actually. Here we get them through several decades as they try to get blood, as they try to hide out. I think we're big fans of the first issue. Do you think this concept is still holding up three issues in? Justin: I like this book. I do think this is like an American vampire that's coming at it from a totally different way. It's much more focused on the passing of time, the passage of time for vampires, which I think is fun. I like these characters. I like the action here. It's very funny that the back half of the issue focuses on the most gabagool, goofy ass gangster character. He's like, “Hey, I'm Johnny Boneno.” [inaudible 00:35:40]. That part was crazy. And then he's just like, “Yeah, I'm going to be a fun guy, okay, [Don Gambilino 00:35:47], I sell blood to vampires and I didn't mention that before. Pete: No one killed old bananas yet. Justin: No, just call me bananas, classic gangster name. Pete: Johnny bananas. Alex: Good stuff. What'd you think about this issue, Pete? Pete: I mean, it's interesting. It's great artwork. The subway stuff really made me miss New York. Because when you're living in New York, you can just wrap a body and a carpet and walk down the subway tunnels, no one will say shit to you. Alex: Yeah. Philly they're like, “Hey, what's that, a she steak? Give me a bite.” Pete: They're like, “Guys, give me, you're going to eat that whole hoagie yourself?” But- Justin: But in Philly- Alex: And they're halfway through and they're like, “Yo, is that a body? You got a body here?” Justin: You seem to be painting New York as some sort of like Thunderdome. When in Philadelphia you can murder anyone at a sporting event and everyone be like, “Yep. It's the purge basically because our sports teams are playing.” Pete: Hey, take it easy, all right, with that, like you're fucking all saints over there. All Right? Justin: Okay. What are you, Mr. Philly now? You've lived there for four months, not even. Pete: That's true. Justin: We've got the Philadelphia Philly over here. Alex: [crosstalk 00:37:01] with Gritty, what's going on with that? Are you friends with Gritty? Pete: Gritty, yeah. Our next door neighbor made his own Gritty costume, It's a lot of fun. Alex: No further questions. Pete: Great. Justin: Well, everyone in Philadelphia has to have a Gritty costume, right. They come by and check. Alex: Last but not least, Red Sonja: The Price of Blood number one from Dynamite written by Luke Lieberman and art by Walter Giovanni. This started off with Red Sonja captured in a dungeon. She flashes back, tells the story of how she got there. Typical, crazy Red Sonja adventures, getting drunk, killing people, you know how it is. But how do you think this held up, was this a new fresh take on Red Sonja? Is this a story you want to read more of? What are your thoughts? Justin: It's interesting. I haven't read a ton of Red Sonja, and I didn't know she was this sort of partying fun, loving. I thought she was sort of grim. When she cuts, she goes to the literal fire festival. I don't know if that was meant to be the same one that we've seen so many documentaries about, but definitely had that vibe. So yeah, it's hard to pin down exactly what the character is from this issue anyway. Pete: Yeah. I mean, this is more of Red Sonja who likes to murder and party. But I think this is, I am excited for more in this story just because I like her the way she fights and just straight up attacks anyone who kind of tries to wrong her. I think that's one of my favorite things about Red Sonja. And I'm glad that like, yes, there was kind of crazy shit happening in the party, but they didn't focus too hard on that, it was in the background, which is good. I want Red Sonja to be more about action and story and less about like TNA. I think that this comic does a good job with that. Alex: I liked Walter Giovanni's art in particular in this book, there's a part in the middle where Sonja kicks a guy out a window that I thought was really active and nicely staged just in terms of the angles of everything. It was very cool. And just across the board, the action and the characters are very clear, which is good. The settings are very clear. I know that sounds like faint praise, but I thought this was a solid first issue of a Red Sonja book, if not necessarily a radical reinvention, say like the Vampirella book that we talked about earlier. Justin: Yes, good comparison. Alex: Thank you very much. And that is it for The Stack.

Welcome to The Stack, I'm Alex. Justin: I'm Justin. Pete: I'm Pete. Alex: And on The Stack, we're talking about a bunch of books that have come out this very week. Kicking it off with a big new book from BOOM! Studios, Seven Secrets #1, written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by Daniele Di Nicuolo. Pete, I want to go to you first, because I was very surprised to hear, I think this was your favorite book of the week. Is that right? Pete: It really was. Justin: Yes. Pete: It is. It's a great book, I love the art. It's a very interesting idea, that there are seven secrets and they are highly guarded secrets. And people kind of like dedicate their lives to them. There's this kind of like societies built around, protecting the secrets. I think it's just a very creative idea, and fun, amazing art. A lot of action right out of the box. So, yeah, I think this is a great book. I'm very excited for more. Justin: Yeah, I agree. This is really fun. It reminded me a lot of the Iron Fist run, that I want to say, Matt Fraction did which dealt with the… Alex: I think it was Fraction and (Ed) Brubaker, right? Justin: Yes, yes, that is accurate. Which got into all the different sort of fighting squads in doing battle throughout all of time. It has that same sort of dynamic art style, and feels like it's very numerical, you're chasing very specific things. So, I really like this. Alex: Yeah, I thought this is great as well. I mean Tom Taylor is such, such a reliable writer and Daniele Di Nicuolo almost has like this Proto, Manga style in a way, where feels more detailed than that in terms of the fight, but the propulsive nature of the action suggests that a little bit. There's also a really good emotional underpinning, that I won't spoil for any or somebody who's planning on reading of the book. My only little quibbled with it… Pete: Hey, watch yourself. Alex: All that… It reminded me a little bit in pacing of Wynd from BOOM! Studios, another book we really liked a lot. But both of them felt like… Just to take like a very broad view, back in the day, you had these ‘done in one issue', right? People still do aim for done in one issue, then you had (Brian Michael) Bendis came along with Ultimate Spider-Man and this whole decompression, and aiming for the trade thing. Both Wynd and Seven Secrets which I both like a lot, seem almost different in a way where it's not decompression for the trade, so much as here are the first 20 pages of the story. Where they ended places, where it's like not even the of a chapter, exactly, so much is it almost feels in the middle of a chapter. and I need to read the second issue to understand more of what's going on. I don't know if you guys got that same feeling for that. Justin: No, I hear you. Especially in Wynd. Pete: That's a very weird thing to say, but, okay. Justin: No, but I get it from a storytelling perspective, it's like we've talked about writing for the trade for almost the entire run of our podcast, and this is taking it to the next level. It's like literally writing the trade, and then chopping it up with like a butcher's knife, and here's the first issue. Alex: Yeah, which is, it's a good first issue, and I highly recommend picking it up. But it just, it needs more, for me. Pete: I don't… Yeah, I disagree. I think the ending was a fucking crazy ending and it's a kind of fun place to leave it off until next time. Alex: It's good. It's a good book. Definitely pick it up. That's why we wanted to lead with it. Next up, Dark Nights: Death Metal #3 from DC Comics written by Scott Snyder and art by Greg Capullo. Talk about wild. This is a wild ride to through the DC Universe. The heroes of the DC Universe are being completely beaten down by the Batman Who Laughs, who now is the Dark Knight, I think he's called. Justin: The Darkest Knight. Alex: Yeah, there we go… Because he has Doctor Manhattan powers. They're trying to stave off the death of the Multiverse as usual, as you do. And so, they've invaded Apocalypse to go and rescue Superman in this issue. Some other things happen. How'd did you feel about this? Pete: Now this is just a fun comic. Like by the title it's like, Dark Nights: Death Metal. Like let's take this, what we know and love, and just turn it to 11. You got para Robins; you've got like insane crazy ideas. Everything is fun and over the top about this. You've got Superman with like knuckle-dusters on. I mean this is just crazy fun that like you know, just makes the young kid inside of you excited about what you're seeing on the page. [00:05:00] Justin: The way you even structure your review, Pete, reminds me of Stefon on SNL, which is actually sort of a good description of this book. But it's like you want to go to the craziest night club in the DC Universe. [laughter] Pete: Yeah. Justin: You've got Batman a dinosaurs, you've got a dwarf riding another Batman. And that's literally what this is, it's like a million ideas jammed up in a blender and spread out over a crisis style storyline line. And I like it as well. It's like they took a hammer to the Elseworld's annual crossover from like the late ‘90s, smashed up all those bits, jammed them together, and we're like, “This is an event we're actually going to spend some time in.” And this issue, especially, I thought was super fun. All the Superman stuff was great. The Mister Miracle escape, all that. I… Pete: Yeah. The use of Mister Miracle is amazing. The dark side of Batman was crazy. Like seeing Wonder Woman with like a metal ass chainsaw. It was just so badass. Justin: I could do with a few less Batman, let me just say that. Alex: Yes, it is… We're reaching critical mass with Batman, and I think they would kind of realized that to the point where Harley Quinn is like, “Man, he's really good with branding”, and just calling that out. And I think like that's the sort of cheeky self-awareness that makes this work, because it's Scott Snyder realizing how ludicrously over the top it is. Everything that's going on and leaning into that, versus saying, “No, no, no. This is serious stuff here. Okay, there's a lot of Batman.” It doesn't feel… The stakes are high, but it doesn't feel serious at any point, and I think that's good. Like that gets into you. One of my favorite characters from Scott Snyder's run, we get Jarro the pint-sized Starro [overlap talk] who think Batman is his dad. Pete: Come on. Alex: It's great. It's super fun, and cute. Justin: It's so funny. Alex: That's enjoyable. I do want to ask you guys… Pete: The all hands in moment was fun. Alex: Super fun. I did feel like this issue was a little more expository than I would've liked. There was a lot of standing around and be like, “Okay, real quick, here's what we need to do, and here's what's going on. This is complicated. I'm just going to bring you up to speed”, in between the fun moments. But there was a hint that there's something else going on with both Batman and Superman, where they turn to each other in the middle, after they freed Superman. And I think it's Superman says, “Does Diana know about you?” And Batman says, “No. Does she know about you?” So, what do you think's going on with them? What is the deal? Justin: I don't know, that moment it stressed me out little bit because it… To me, not to be the Pete in the situation… Pete: Yeah. Justin: But it made me feel like it's going to be like, “Did you tell her that this is all a simulation that's happening?” “No, I didn't tell her. Did you?” It felt like a ‘too cool for school secret' that I don't want to disrupt the flow just when I'm really getting into the flow of the book. Pete: Yeah, yeah. Alex: Yeah. I could see something like that. I mean my big thought is that Batman is already dead. That he died, that's why he's running around with the Black Lantern Ring. That's why he was able to escape the omega beams, that hit him from the Dark Side Batman. I don't know what Superman's secret is, but to me that feels like the most reasonable thing that could happen to him, and that would be sad for Diana because they essentially have already lost. Pete: Well, but like this is, it sort of exists in the dark Multiverse. So, it's the flip flop of everything. So, maybe that's the win, the fact that they're already dead or there's something, where it's going to be something with emotional resonance, like them being dead, but that is actually the victory they find or the loophole they escape through. Alex: I mean, I think you kind of just said this, but what if the whole thing is in the Dark Multiverse? What if they're not in the Real Multiverse at all but this is just where the heroes have lost already, and this the flip side of the story to show them the way that things could've have gone horribly wrong. Justin: Yeah, I mean that to me… Because all this hype about like this is the real continuity. I'm like, “I don't need that.” This is just as good a story if it takes place in a Dark Multiverse, but I think what emerges from that I guess is what the lesson is. It's are we going to get this Superman in the world or some version of these characters. Alex: Good fun stuff. Moving on, Something is Killing the Children #9 from BOOM! Studios written by James Tynion IV, illustrated by Werther Dell'Edera. If you happen to read this book Something is Killing the Children, it's a bunch of monsters. They like to eat children. And there's one woman who may or may not be able to stop them. In this issue, she trying to appeal to a young boy who has previously been attacked by the monsters to try and act as bait for them. Man, this book is so good. So, well drawn, so well written. This is almost the opposite of what I was saying with Seven Secrets where it's like not a lot happens every issue but it feels so weighted every single time. [00:10:06] Justin: Yeah, there's just a creeping dread all the time, and we get little dribs and drabs of backstory each time. It's really interesting, and also really horrifying, the stuff that happens. The adults feel like they're crippled and stuck in place the entire time. There's a whole section about like, “I'm just handing out beers, because I don't know what else to do.” While the kids are either being murdered or trying to act against these monsters. And the sort of reveal, at the end, is interesting and maybe spins the story in a different direction. Pete: Yeah, I mean this is a very interesting comic. Each issue has been a fun surprise of like, what's kind of in store. In this one, we kind of get her back story, the main hunter's backstory and it's very cool the way it's told. I really love the paneling and the art of this book. It's just very unique and cool. And I think this is one of my favorites in this stack. It's really great every time we get to read this. Alex: I agree. Let's move back to Marvel for Empyre#5 story by Dan Slott and Al Ewing, written by Al Ewing, art by Valerio Schiti. And when I say move back to Marvel, this is the first time we're talking about Marvel in The Stack. I thought here's another on… [chuckle] So, this is the second to the last issue of Empyre, Marvel's big events, which is plants versus zombies. In this, the Cotati, a plant race, has been attacking Earth. They want to take over the Earth and the entire universe. The Kree and Skrull are trying to stop them. But in the middle of all of that whole Hulkling has been leading the Kree and the Skrull army, except not really. There's actually somebody masquerading as him, Wiccan who secretly married him. Figured that out the last issue. That's where they pick up this issue, with both that, and the fact, that She-Hulk, who has been taken over by one of these plant creatures, and is supposedly dead is attacking the Thing. So, lots of stuff going on here. As we round up this event, how are you feeling about it? Pete: Well this issue, I'm like, “All right now, things are happening.” Like things are really cooking now. I feel like I'm just starting to get into this event. But this was a great issue; a lot happened. It's sad though we didn't address the She-Hulk stuff yet, but I feel like this had a great amount of kind of like story mixed with action and the weight of everything happening. I really like this issue. Justin: I like this issue too. It really is… I'm so surprised it's ending already. It does feel like it's just ramping up. It feels so short to go right into the final movement right here. I really like that they folded in the wedding between Hulkling and Wiccan, as sort of a main story point. Like that feels really good. But I feel like I need two more issues to really elevate the stakes. And if the She-Hulk death is like the whole thing here, it's like… I don't know, it feels a little disjointed. Alex: It's… Pete: I… Oh, I'm sorry… Alex: All I was going to say is, this struck me over the past couple of issues but it really started to hit me with this one. And I know this isn't a TV show, so it's the wrong term, but there's not enough sets in this book. Like it takes place… Pete: Ha… Weird. Alex: It takes place on the alien ship mostly, where they really haven't left the throne room that Hulkling is in. And then there's a couple of glimpses of other places that they go to that mostly seem motivated by what's happening in the spin offs side stories. So, we get a bunch of stuff at Wakanda, but it's more like here's an overview of what's happening in other places, and then Tony Stark and Reed Richards are just hanging out in Avengers Mountain and putting together a suit. So, like you guys are saying every issue of this is good and fun. Dan Slott and Al Ewing know what they're doing. Valero Schiti's art is very good superhero art, but there's not a lot going on, which is surprising. Pete: Yeah… So first of, I want to say I'm sorry Wakanda is not enough for you. Secondly, I love… Alex: Hey, what can you, Wakanda do about that? Pete: Ahhhhhh… Justin: Oh, boy. Alex: Giddy-up… [chuckles] Pete: Anyways… I really love The Thing stuff in here like this. Like when you're talking about a classic fight and this whole thing about giving up. I thought that was a perfect kind of monologue for The Thing to have. I really thought it was a cool bad ass moment. Alex: Yeah, I agree The Thing stuff is good, the character stuff is good, like I was saying it's well written, it's well drawn. I just want a little more out of a big cosmic event. Justin: Yeah, of course, the small moments are great and you would expect that out of these writers, but like when you think about the great epic crossovers like Infinity Gauntlet, every issue a massive event happened, and you really felt the movement of the book. [00:15:00] And to your point Alex, there aren't a lot of sets; the movement has been very small. And you want those big sweeping moments like remember that… I want to say fifth issue of Infinity Gauntlet, when all of the beings of the universe showed up and it was like, “holy shit”. It felt huge, and this feels small. Alex: Maybe part of it is the name. They've been selling it as this big event. They've been building up for a while. They called it Empyre, and so far, the Cotati haven't done anything. Like they're trying to take over Earth, but we don't get to actually see them really taking over Earth. Not to armchair write this but I want to see them take over Earth in issue one, and then expand outward from that like what happens next how what happens when they start to actually take over the universe make this a big thing and it just I don't know it feels small. Next up, Dryad #4 from Oni Press, written by Curtis Wiebe and illustrated by Justin Osterling. We launched this in a live show, but we are setting up an interview with the creative team. So, check for that in your local Comic Book Club feed. But this book is great and wild, every issue. We talked about it as the heir to Saga very purposely. I think, in the promotional materials, they call it the Saga Continues for the next issues. But if you haven't been reading, it started off as a fantasy story. It's about two parents, take their kids, hide out in a fantasy style town. Turns out, it's not really a fantasy world; it's actually a tech world with some fantasy looking creatures. Magic has disappeared, except the dad actually has magic. And last issue, they got picked up by a mercenary team, and taken back to the city that they've fled from, that's where they had this issue. Things go terribly wrong for there. I just don't know what this book is, from issue to issue, and I love it. I love it. [chuckle] Justin: Yeah, it's mixing up a lot of stuff in a good way though it's moving through it very specifically in a smart way. I'm totally on board with it. The Saga comparison is great. I that we've made that… I think it also reminds me of Ascender and Descender as well; the image book. Because it is blending that science and magic worlds. Pete: Yeah, I just think it's very interesting the way each issue is so different. This one is very action packed and a lot of crazy stuff going on. So, it's very cool when you pick up a book and you think you're like you have an understanding of it and it still surprises you. Justin: Yep. Alex: Good stuff. Let's move on to The Flash #759, from DC Comics, written by Joshua Williamson art by Rafa Sandoval and Scott Kolins. This kicking off finish line, which is technically Joshua Williamson's, I believe, last arc on The Flash. Something he teased way back when he was on our live show. So, this is something he's been building to for a really long time. Reverse Flash, Professor Zoom, has taken over Barry Allen's body, stranded him in the Speed Force, and meanwhile, he's trying to turn all of his friends against him. I know you guys aren't really into the speedsters. I, of course, enjoyed this issue because I love the speedsters. Love Bart Allen, like seeing him interacting with Barry and everybody else. What'd you guys feel about this one? Pete: Well, I felt like we had, the art's unbelievable. And then, we had like an evil Flash messing with a younger big haired Flash, and then all old timey Flash was like, “Leave them damn kids alone.” Alex: Oh, it was great, what a great cliff-hanger. Justin: Yep, what a great summary of the book. Almost like a live reading of it. [chuckles] Alex as such a fan of the speedsters, does this make you like do wind sprints or does this make you sort of speed up in your own life. Alex: I never stop moving when I read this book. Pete: Wow. Alex: Like I'm just, I'm going, going, going, the entire time. Justin: Always on your treadmill that doesn't travel through time. Your very terrestrial… Alex: My comic treadmill. [overlap talk] Justin: Ah, that's good stuff. Pete: Oh, boy. Justin: I like this. I love Impulse, one of my favorite characters in the original comic, way back in the day. So, it's great to see him here and sort of getting a little bit of an emotional moment, which I think is something that's been missing from the character of Bart Allen for a while. It's sad to see Barry Allen being such a jerk. Alex: Yep. There you go… Next up, Adventureman #3 from Image Comics written by Matt Fraction, pencils and colors by Terry Dodson, inks by Rachel Dodson. This about a woman who discovers that the old timey pulp hero, she loves and obsessed with, was actually real. She becomes the heir to his power and his mysteries and everything else. In this issue, she's dealing with that in some very weird ways. [00:20:01] As it turns out, she's just getting real buff and larger. And getting information that is powered by the pulp stories that powered Adventureman. This is great. I love seeing Matt Fraction just having fun and also clearly just leaning into letting the Dodson's do their stuff. Pete: Yeah, yeah. This is what, I mean if you're going to say… The art is worth picking this up alone. I mean this is definitely… Alex: If I was going say that Pete? Pete: If anybody was going to say it. I'm just saying… Justin: If any one of the three of us were to hypothetically say that… [chuckle] Let's call it a catch phrase. Pete: Yeah. I feel like… This story is good, but really, it's just fantastic art, and it's so weird the way we're kind jumping between worlds and stuff. But I'm very interested in the story. I think it moves really well. We're kind of finding things out with the main character, which is cool. But yeah, it's interesting. I'm curious to see how this kind of unfolds. Justin: The main character grows 15 inches in her time. What would happen with you guys if one of you or both of you grew 15 inches Alex: Whew. I would probably scratch against the ceiling, first of all, in this basement where I'm taping right now. Justin: [chuckle] That's right, because you're already six two, right? Alex: Yeah, I'm very tall, as you guys know. [chuckes] Justin: Yeah. Pete: Yep. Justin: Maybe you have grown this much. We don't even know. Alex: That'll probably hurt a lot, right? Justin, you probably know this, but when my kids grow, they go crazy, like literally, insane. Justin: Yeah… When children grow, they scream the entire time, right? Alex: Yup, pretty much. Justin: That's what happening with my kids… Pete, if you grew, you'd be mad, though, because you like to be Wolverine sized. Pete: Yeah, I like to be short. But I would say if I would've have grown 15 inches maybe like during high school, that would've been glorious. Really could've changed my volleyball career. Alex: Too many inches… Too many inches, I don't like it. Justin: Also, I'd like a longer definition of volleyball career, eventually, but that's cool… It's cool for now. I like this comic a lot. I think we've given sort of the crown of cleanest comic to a TV or movie adaptation to Kieron Gillen's Once and Future. I think we can share that crown with this book. It feels like very much writing it for the eventual TV show or movie that this would become. Alex: Yeah, and Matt Fraction and Kelly Sue DeConnick have that TV production arm, Neutral Milk Hotel or whatever it's called… Justin: [chuckle] Whoa… Hipster slam… Pete: Hipster slam… Alex: Yuhhh… Got you guys, know I love you. I think you're amazing. We're happy over your house, once. It was very nice. Marauders #11 from Marvel Comics, written by Gerry Duggan and art by Stefano Caselli. Pete: The Duggs! Alex: This is… Man, this cover, so nervous with this cover. You know I love the Kate Pryde, man. I was really nervous, man, Pete: Yeah, man. Alex: I was really freaking out, it was tweaking here. Justin: It's game over man. Alex: Game over, Red. So, Kate Pryde was killed off a couple of issues back, by Sebastian Shaw on a boat. She wasn't coming back. She wasn't allowed to Krakoa. They couldn't reincarnate her in a new body. That's what this issue is dealing with. I'll spoil it right here… Three, two, one… Kate Pryde comes back! They figure out how to get her back. It turns out that she wasn't able to phase through their eggs, and all that Emma needs to do is pull her through. I'll tell you what, I love that Gerry Duggan is pushing the ‘frenemy-ship' or whatever you want to call it between Emma Frost and Kate Pryde. So much fun, I'm glad she's back. I know there's more mysteries to figure out but this a good book. I enjoyed it. Pete: I got some questions. Alex: Yeah, what up, Pete? Pete: So, we get kind of, she has like a Viking funeral, do they purposely kind of make her look like Michael Jackson… In the boat? Or is that just me… Justin: Let me ask you, Pete… Pete: Like it was a weird choice, for she has like the kind of red jacket, and then the quarters over eyes or half dollars… Alex: Oh yeah, like how Michael Jackson always had half dollars over his eyes? Pete: No, but I mean it looks like a Michael Jackson outfit. Justin: Like Captain Eel? Pete: Yeah, I'm just… Maybe it's just me… Alex: Okay. Pete: But anyways… Justin: Let me argue… Maybe say, Pete… I feel like maybe you're looking… If you guys have an X-Men book, you're maybe looking for something to… I believe it's called nit-pick? Pete: Oh, interesting. Justin: Or Pete-pick? Pete: You know, I don't… Yeah, I mean, so we see a funeral, and then it's like me really like, “No, no… “ It was just the we didn't figure out the eggs part, right? Which, “Okay, cool, cool” but then there was this weird moment where it was like, “Yeah, it took 18 eggs.”… “Oh, so she's 18 now?” Like that was a weird pervy moment. Alex: Hold on. First of all, A) definitely misinterpreting that. But I did want to ask about that moment just because it's Nightcrawler calls out that they tried to resurrection her 18 times. I did a quick search for that because it seemed to me that was like some sort of religious thing that I wasn't picking up on. I couldn't find anything on it. I don't know if you guys know if there's anything from non-Judaism? I want to say Christianity or Catholicism… But something that is about 18 resurrections? Is there anything about that? Pete: No. Not that I know… That's just why I thought it was something about her age or something because she's always been younger. Alex: No, it's not about the age. It's definitely about like the 18 resurrections. So, I don't know if it means that there's like 18 Kate Pryde bodies out there that Nightcrawler's going to find, or if that is a specific reference to something. It was definitely a weird moment, but it was not a creepy age moment. Pete: Okay, well it's definitely a weird moment that stuck out to me. Justin: I would say we're not the most theological podcast hosts, when it comes to doing a deep dive on a religious reference. Alex: Sure… Pizza priest though. Justin: Pizza priest… No, pizza, pizza priest. Alex: Yehey, pizza priest. Pete: Yeah… Have a pizza priest. I'm not a regular priest. Justin: Nice… I don't know the reference. I did like this book. I liked the position Kate Pryde had in the X-Men world where she was sort of ‘outsided' and not allowed. It's a good mystery. I don't know if that's over now, or what the deal is going forward. But I think this book is a fun sort of side book to the X-Men universe right now. Alex: Yeah, I agree. Stefano Caselli's art is always good. Let's move on to Judge Dredd: False Witness #2 from IDW, story by Brandon Easton, art by Zei Kama, excuse me, Kei Zama. I think we have some pretty nice things to say about this book last time, which is why I thought it would be interesting to revisit. This is somebody on the outskirts, who lives in the wastelands outside of Mega-City One, comes into the city finds out that him and other people like him are being harvested. And that's where we pick up this issue. He continues to run very parallel to the storyline with Judge Dredd. But I like this book. I think, I'm surprised how much I like this book because I'm not the usual Judge Dredd fan. But I think it's doing a good job of channeling social commentary storytelling character along the way, even though you do have these two characters that really have not met yet at all. Justin: I feel like a lot a book we'll talk about in a little bit, Transformers book, and a lot of like books that have been around for a long time that maybe need a little reinvention. I think there's been a lot of smart takes, and this feels like right in that line where it's like, “Let's look at these characters from a different angle and find a new story here.” I don't know what… so I like this. It remind me of a show called Exosquad… You guys ever watch Exosquad back in the day? Alex: No… I've heard the name. Justin: Pete, no? Pete: Nothing. Yeah, I don't know what you're talking… Justin: Cartoon… Very cool. Pete: What's it about? Help me out. Justin: It's a lot like, sort of pilots of these mech-suits. They have cool haircut. There's a lot of good relationships in it. It's fun. Pete: Cool. Justin: It's in the world in the sort of the style of Starcom, you ever watch that? Pete: No. No. Justin: I guess maybe I grew up in a different Multiverse. [chuckles] Alex: Yeah. Pete: Yeah. I guess so. Alex: This does feel like stuff that is right across to play for you, Pete. I'm surprised you don't know it. Pete: Yeah, yeah. I mean you can't watch every cartoon, I guess. Justin: That's true. Pete: Yeah, I would like to try, I would like to try, yeah. I just want this to kind of get going. I thought this was really cool comic I do like this, but I wanted the main characters to kind of come together a little bit it. It seemed a little too side story, but I really think it's very cool. Art's great. Alex: Let's move on to something that was a huge surprise for me in a very pleasant way. Wonder Woman #760 from DC Comics, written by Mariko Tamaki, art by Mikel Janin. So, Wonder Woman is, at least initially, going up against Maxwell Lord, thinks Maxwell Lord is brain washing a bunch of people in the city. By the end, things seem to be going at a very different direction. Mariko Tamaki is… On such a roll. Justin: Yeah. Alex: Just with writing, with her storytelling, with every that's going on. This is one of the better Wonder Woman arcs I think I've read in a very long time. [00:30:04] I love that it's not mining the Greek Gods stuff anymore, or anything like that. But it still feels very emotionally grounded. And man, Mikel Janin's art is gorgeous. Pete: So good. Justin: Yeah, the art is so good in this. How about that cute rabbit… I mean damn. Alex: Yes. Justin: Yeah, Melanie the Rabbit, I believe is the name. Alex: Yeah… I also want to call out the cover, which is one of the best covers I've seen in a really long time. Pete: Yeah, I just Wonder Woman, like kind of talking shit to robots. I loved it. Justin: Well what I liked about this and a lot of Mariko Tamaki's work is, rather than… I feel there's such a trend in trying to scoop up every aspect of the characters and trying to like mash it up and be like, “This is what it all means.” and I think that's just, it's so much work when this is just a great story that is like scoping up some aspects, and being like, “Here are the things about Wonder Woman I want to talk about,” and then telling that story. And I think this is great. If you're a fan of Alias, the (Brian Michael) Bendis book from back in the day, the Jessica Jones character… I think feel like there's a connection point there, especially with the Purple Man stuff, in this book. Pete: Yeah, yeah. You got the creepy mind control guy. But yeah, I really think the art is great. We get the pair of demons, there's a lot of fun stuff going on. But yeah, the writing is the real hero. This is very interesting. I'm excited to see where this goes. Alex: Let's roll out to a new book from Image Comics, Big Girls #1, story and art by Jason Howard. This is about a world where some children are growing to gigantic size, men grow into monsters, women usually grow into gigantic helpful people… There's one… [chuckles] Justin: That's such a true statement. Alex: Yeah. A gigantic helpful woman who is trying to hold back the monsters. And that's basically what you get in the first issue, as well as some moral quandaries. I overall like this, but had some concerns about it. Curious to hear what you guys think though. Pete: Yeah, there was a kind of a real fucked up moment in the book. Justin: Yes. Pete: That I was like, “Yeah, I don't know if you can come back from that.” But it's a fun premise. It's cool. The art's great. I'm excited to see where this goes but it's an interesting enough story that I'm definitely going to pick up the next issue. Justin: Yeah, I agree that. It felt like, of all the comics we read and cite, it's so hard to have a premise that feels super fresh, and then executing it in a way that invites you in with the characters. And I think this book does a good job of that and it's a fun surprising idea, and it's such a visual idea that I think is well done. And the emotional hit that… I guess we're not spoiling… It was sort of harsh. Pete: Yeah… It was very harsh Justin: Especially, the way the story was told where that harsh moment happened, and then the reason why it happened came after, which I think was smart from a storytelling perspective, but a little more difficult to read. Pete: Yeah. It was tough on the reader. Alex: I'm curious to see where they go with this one, because my big concern about it was, I love the idea that men grow up to be monsters, women are the only people who could protect us… Like there's so much metaphor that you can mine there, and I think it hasn't quite gotten there yet and it also muddies the ground a lot with the reveal at the end of the issue, which again, I won't spoil here. So, it's going to be interesting to see what Jason Howard has to say with this comic, and how he says it. Particularly, because he is a man saying something about misogyny, so I don't know. There's a lot of opportunity with this book, and I'm very excited to see where it goes. Jason Howards aren't always very good, but again, I'm a little concerned/nervous about what direction it might head in. Justin: I really thought earlier on, that you're going to say, “Oh, it's like men are from Mars and women, they're from Venus.” [chuckles] Alex: Yeah. Have you thought about that?… Have you thought about it? Immortal Hulk #36 from Marvel, written by Al Ewing and art by Joe Bennett. Man, this book is fucked up bad. Oh my god. Justin: Yeah. Alex: It's fucked up… Hulk is now, Dumb Hulk, and Rick is evil, and turned into to a horrible monster. Absorbing Man is getting ripped into pieces. Horrible things are happening all the time. Pete: I can't take this anymore… I'm tapping out. I want my Hulk back. I can't… This was cool for a little while, guys. But it's getting weird now. [chuckles] It's getting really weird now, guys. Justin: I still love this book. I'm very excited for the story line coming with a leader; I feel like we're leading up to. [00:35:03] Pete: Yeah. Justin: But… Alex: Well, I think the leader is inside of Rick, right? Justin: Yeah, but it's like… Well the trap hasn't been fully sprung; I feel like. Alex: Okay. Justin: But I also think another title for this book would be, Everybody's Clay Face…? Pete: Yeah. Justin: In a lot of ways… And to Pete's point, how does Hulk come back from this and go back to being just a regular old dude? Pete: I just… Yeah… I can't anymore. Alex: I feel like they're already doing it though, right? Like there was no way they were going to keep Hulk out of crossovers and showing up in other books. I wish they had. I wish they could've kept it in this own pocket thing. But they've already had him show up, and be like, “Yeah, I'm the Asshole Hulk, let me help you.” [chuckles] It just doesn't quite work at all. But to your point, Justin… Like particularly, Joe Bennett's art is… Shade. The splash page towards the beginning that reveals the twisted monstrous Rick… Pete: No… no… Alex: Is nightmarish like literally out of a nightmare and it's… amazing. It's great stuff. Justin: Yeah. Pete: It's too much. Alex: Stealth #4 from Image Comics. Pete: They've gone too far. Alex: [chuckle] Stealth #4 from Image Comics written by Mike Costa and art by Nate Bellegarde… I don't know why I can't pronounce that name. So, this is starting to wrap up. This story about a man who has this powerful like Dark Hawk-esk armor, the stealth armor. He is suffering for dementia. It may be because of the armor, maybe not. His son is trying to track him down and save him/help him/slash stop him Meanwhile, there's a two-faced… Half-faced, I guess, gangster… Pete: Half a face. Alex: Half a face, who's trying to kill him. This book is so good. And particularly, Nate Bellegarde's pacing… Pete: Yeah. Justin: Yeah. Alex: That's between like amazing action and hilarious moments. Particularly in this issue, that are wonderful. Justin: And just, there's a couple of panels… This guy gets shot, sort of halfway, maybe in the two thirds away through the book. And it's just… It's so surprisingly done that it really sticks with you. A lot of the angles that that he chooses to draw the characters from are so good. It's just a great book. Pete: Yeah, it's really awesome. There's some real cool fight sequence stuff like this one guy gets his leg kicked in, that was really brutal. But also, what's tough for me is to see a sweet white Lincoln get destroyed. And that was that was tough. That was tough to watch. But this is a great book. Fun design on the villain, it keeps getting more and more interesting, and yeah, I'm very, very much enjoying this book. Alex: Great stuff… Amazing Spider-Man #46 from Marvel written by Nick Spencer, and art by Marcelo Ferreira. It's continuing with the Sins Rising storyline where the Sin-Eater is back. Turns out the Sin-Eater is maybe not exactly what you think he is, and he is attacking villains. And in this issue, maybe be making them better, maybe making them worse, not entirely clear. Justin, you were very excited about this issue talk about it a little bit. Justin: I can't believe the turn that Nick Spencer's taken this book on. After doing such a light hearted Spider-Man, and then now the Sin-Eater story, the set-up issues, and then getting here, it's like so much more topical, so much more like satirical. And it's just, these panels where Sin-Eater kills this villain and then we get this moment where the crowd starts clapping… It was devastating, and it felt like it just, it activated all of my stress about our world in a way. And Pete, to you, I don't know what you think about this. But it feels like an indictment of the Punisher, and that whole… His whole world… Pete: Yeah, yeah. I mean they're like basically booing people who clap at violence. You know what I mean? But it's also tough because it's like there's violence in comics, and there's real life. But this is supposedly real life and they're saying that like people would enjoy killing in real life, which I don't think, if you like the Punisher that's not what you're saying in life. I mean there might be people out there like that. But I think it's nice to have a person like the Punisher fighting a good fight, instead of like going through things in normal way. It's a creative outlet for things and your anger, or this is saying people are too dark… [00:40:01] People are too fucked up, the world is too fucked up. And this is very depressing. I'm very surprised that you like this issue. This is my least favorite. You got Spider-Man kind of shaken to his core being like, “I can't believe everybody clapped. What kind of world this is? I don't feel like the quippy self, happy go lucky Spider-Man.” And it's kind of like the darkness of the world is affecting Spider-Man here. Justin: I love that though. I think that is what… It feels like Nick Spencer is channeling the world around him, and being like, “This world feels darker than I ever thought it was.” And Spider-Man doesn't have a place in that world, in this world. And he's showing that in the story, and using this Sin-Eater as a way of talking about that, I think, is just so smart. I really love this story. Alex: It's definitely very surprising and going in different directions. Let's move on and talk about Transformers Galaxies #8 from IDW, written by Sam Maggs, art by Beth McGuire-Smith and Umi Miyao. This is something that I think we were very surprised about the last issue. This is about a young Transformer on a ship that is escaping from Cybertron, turns out things are not exactly what they seem. This issue where he… He? She? I don't know, bro?… Yep… Pete: It's a robot. Alex: A robot has met up with Arcee and Greenlight to the Transformers, who revealed the truth about what's going on. And course, everybody is being brainwashed, they're trying to… they're the baddies, and yeah, that's kind what it follows. Another really good issue of this title just because it grounds the emotion of the Transformers which I am very impressed by. Justin: Yeah, I agree. I love this. This feels like a Twilight Zone or a Black Mirror version of a Transformers story. It's tense. It's sort of stressful. It gets into like philosophy, religion, and it's just really well done. Pete: Yeah, it's very interesting. It's cool, this kind of series, characters kind of find this information struggle within stuff. I think this as, it's hard because I keep wanting there to be more Transformers that I know, you know what I mean? They talk about Cybertron, and all that kind of stuff, and Primus… But like I keep wanting to see like a different Transformers that I know from the ‘80s, and from the cartoons, and stuff like that… But the fact that they're telling this kind of more original story is very cool. Justin: You want them to turn into cars. Pete: No, I just want like Laserbeak to be in the background, spying on them or you know something else. Justin: Would you say there's more than meets the eye here? Pete: Oh yeah, there is more. Justin: One more question… Alex: The thing I… Justin: Oh, go ahead… You go ahead… Alex: No, no, please I want to I hear your question. Justin: No, it's just definitely unrelated [chuckle]. Alex: My question is also unrelated, so you go ahead. Justin: Okay, great. Well then, let me ask you… Pete, as a pizza priest, are you marrying slices back together or how does that work? Are you a priest, two slices of pizza? Or are you bringing the good word of pizza to the people? Pete: I'm doing both. I am bringing slices together. I'm am also, trying to make sure that people know about the good pizza, are partaking in some good pizza. Alex: Do you ever take two slices of pizza, and hold one on each hand, and say, “I now pronounce you”, and then slapped them together and say, “Calzone!” [chuckles] Pete: No no, I wouldn't do that. That's sacrilege. Alex: Got you… Back to the Transformer book, the main thing that I was thinking about the entire issue, do Transformers kiss? And when they kiss does it sound terrible? Like because they're two like… Justin: Metal on metal. Alex: Yeah, like two cars smashing into each other. Pete: Yeah, but it doesn't sound bad to them. Alex: Right, but would it sound bad to us humans? Pete: Yes. Yeah, sure. Justin: Like when cars kiss, we call it an accident. [chuckle] Pete: Yeah, it's loud. Alex: That's true. Last book we're talking about Excellence #9 from Image Comics created and written by Brandon Thomas, created in art by Khary Randolph. I know we have talked about every issue of this book. But every issue of this book is absolutely insane. Pete: Phenomenal. Alex: Oh my god, so good. Justin: So, good. Alex: This issue we have our main character who's been trying to start a magic revolution. Travels to a library to gather information, and finds out he is way out of his depth. He is doing this way to soon, but now it is too late because he has already started the revolution. God, I love how direct every issue is in terms of the story it's telling. [00:45:03] And also, of course, Khary Randolph's art is out of control. Justin: Yeah. Pete: It's bananas. The character designs are fantastic. It's got like an old-school hip hop vibe to it. It's glorious. The panel work is… This is just such a fun book. Justin: Yeah. This book… We talk about it so much, please check this book out it is… I'm trying to think of… Because the art isn't like reminiscent of a particular other style, it just encapsulates so much of just great comic book art from very still, emotional panels to super dynamic action panels. It's just a real textbook book on great comic book art, as on the writing and art side. Alex: There's a thing that happens… I will now spoil something that happens in the issue, but as he comes into the library, he sees a bunch of grannies who were looking at him, and he's like, “That's weird they never looked at me before.” When he messes up, they all pop up and they're like, “Oh, that's it. You fucked up. We're taking you down son.” And there's a panel where there's just all three of them floating in the air about to attack him that I think I shouted, “Oh, shit!”, out loud when I was reading it. [chuckle] It's great. The action in this book is great. It's so tense. It's so creative. Definitely picking up. And that's it for The Stack. If you like to support us, Patreon.com/comicbookclub.
