The Waverider is docked at STAR Labs in Central City, but we might need to take a trip to Gotham City. It seems that Team Flash has learned from Lucas Fox that Ryan Wilder a.k.a. Batwoman has been missing for a few weeks. The tech that Red Death's Rogues are using are based off of Wayne Enerprise designs but is way more advanced. Barry thinks Red Death (named by Goldface), is the new Negative Speedforce Avatar. But he has no clue yet that Red Death is Ryan. Red Death's Rogues have been gathering parts for a Cosmic Treadmill, but they need one more to finish it. Barry & Hartley bring together The Hotness, Chill-Blaine, and Goldface to steal the quantum vibration engine first. All is going according to plan, until Mark betrays them. It seems Red Death promised him a way to bring back Frost and he fell for it. We got to see Barry & Iris checking off another item on their babymoon list and they had good communication as a couple, whereas Chuck and Allegra need help in that department. Khione confronts Allegra about it who is missing Frost's big sister advice, but Khione helps her admit she has strong feelings for Chuck although she is not ready to call it love yet.   Cougar's Comic Corner Batman: The Red Death (2017) #1 (Dark Nights: Metal (2017-2018)) - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073JWTM5P?ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_dp_RB1ADTWFQYAAMP6K5E8S As the events of DARK NIGHTS: METAL rock the DC Universe, the creatures of the Dark Multiverse stand ready to invade our world!

This week our Heroes (@KlownyJ @SickSpaceHair and @Mise1987) return. They discuss the controversial SnyderCut, The Suicide Squad, Dark Metal, DCeased, Dark Multiverse and more before they get into TT: Trouble In Tokyo

In this episode, we discuss our thoughts on the latest Dark Multiverse issue.

Topic: Wonder Woman Tutorial   In route to discussing Wonder Woman 1984, we need to do a Tutorial on Wonder Woman herself.  And her creation is amazing!  I was surprised by it and so was Mom.  You have to listen just to find that part out.   Creator:   Created in 1941 by William Moulton Marston, pen name: Charles Moulton. Marston was a unique individual, a Harvard PhD psychologist who also helped created the lie detector.  He believed that Comics had ‘great educational potential’, and was hired by All-American Publications as an educational consultant.  The Publication would late merge with another company creating DC Comics.    He lived with his wife Elizabeth Marston and also Ms. Olive Byrne, of which they had a consenting polyamorous life together.  Marston’s research and stuff focused heavily on gender, with him at one point studying all Female communities, ie observing the rituals and behaviors of Sororities.  It led him to believe that women were the superior gender, but was only being held back from power due to the difficulties of giving birth and raising children, but also housework.  He eventually theorized that eventually both child rearing and housework would get easier, allowing women to get educated, gain power, and take their rightful spots as leaders of the world.   When he set out to make Wonder Woman, he did so consciously, deciding to create a female super hero in a male dominated landscape.  Marston would later write:   "Not even girls want to be girls so long as our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power. Not wanting to be girls, they don't want to be tender, submissive, peace-loving as good women are. Women's strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness. The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman.   Wonder Woman is also loosely based off Elizabeth and Olive, with Elizabeth inspiring her attitude, and Olive inspiring her appearance.  Apparently Wonder Woman’s bracelets was inspired because Olive liked to wear big bracelets.     Comic History: Since staring All Star Comic #8 in 1941, Wonder Woman has had her own on going Comic Book ever since then.  Marston would initially write for the series, with H.G. Peter doing the artwork until his death in 1947 at the age of 54.  Later writers would pick up the character and run with it.  Early stories focused on feminist agenda, and for the times, push a radical, progressive women’s agenda.   After Marston’s Death, new writers toned down some of the Wonder Woman elements from earlier comics.  This included the remove of more bondage related elements, toned down some of the radical feminist agenda, and eventually adding Hellenic and mythological elements and roots to the character.    By the late 1960s, Wonder Woman lost her powers, owning to stay in the world of man, and for a time, picked up martial arts and weapons combat, and gave up being a super hero for owning a boutique.  She participated in various story lines that focused more on espionage and mythology.  Eventually, due to the 1970s TV show, Wonder Woman was repowered into a super hero.  However, by 1985, Wonder Woman’s comic was losing popularity and the character was written out.    During the Crisis of infinite Earth, Wonder Woman was depicted as originating on Earth Two, a second Earth to the main DC Continuity.  As a result of the event that wiped out the Multiverse and all other Earths, Wonder Woman was to be written out.  However, at the end of the series, Wonder Woman was given a new origin story, as an ambassador from her home land of Themyscira.  This is how she would be portrayed in the modern age.   By the end of Flash Point event, the New 52 reimagines Wonder Woman again, this time also carrying her now iconic sword and shield in to battle.  The character was redesigned again in 2016, bring her more in line with her original creation.     Crisis Events DC has major cross over events subjected in to Crisis Events, typically with the intent of retconing, shaking up, or revamping the entire comic landscape.  This is often done to streamline continuities or characters, change up dynamics of the world and/or characters, or re-introduce new elements back in to the series.  The events offer huge crossovers events for various books, characters, and stories, with the finality of the decisions that get made due to it.  These Stories include:   Crisis on Infinite Earths (1985) This event resulted in the collapse of the Multiverse, the notion that there are various worlds with similar or mirror characters that live similar or mirror lives due to the nature of possibility.  As a result of losing the multiversity, several characters migrated to the main continuity, while other characters were killed off, like Super Girl.    Zero Hour, Crisis in Time! (1994) This event saw the original Green Lantern become a bad guy and attempt to recreate the universe in his own image.  The true purpose was to streamline the dates of events that happened, making it so that most character had been around for only 10 or so years, along with fixing the continuity issues plaguing various characters and their introduction from the previous Crisis on Infinite Earths storyline.   Infinite Crisis (2005) This Crossover saw the reintroduction of the Multiverse, and redid the timeline and events once more.  As a result of some character leaving to a pocket dimension in the First Crisis event, they see how dark the universe has gotten and decided they need to recreate Earth Two and Destroy Earth One.  Eventually though, the Multiverse gets recreated as a result.   Final Crisis (2008) The event sees a Super Man Villain, Dark Sied, taking over Earth using a formula designed to ensnare people to his will.  Because Earth is the cornerstone of the Multiverse, and controlling it give the power to control over Multiverses, Dark Sied was capable of controlling the entire Multiverse.  The comic in theory kills both Dark Sied and Batman, though both would return through weirdness.   Flash Point (2011) Flash Point sees the Flash use his super speed ability to go back in time and save his mother.  As a result of saving his mother, but at the cost of changing the entire universe, including depowering the Flash.  In the end, Flash is able to get his powers back, and restore the events that led to the correct universe.  However, while initially intended as a contained story, the events led to the ‘New 52’ Timeline.  New 52 was a company-wide relaunch of all their series, simplifying and revamping many characters and time lines.   Convergence (2015) Considered one of the worse Crisis Events, it saw a bad guy trying to battle the various DC cities against one another.  And this meant from any continuity, any property, and almost any franchise was on the table.  While everything eventually returned back to normal, and set in motion a removing continuity from DC Comics.  The DC You initiative wanted to focus more on stories than continuity, however, this was widely hated by fans, and quietly swept under the rug.   Dark Nights Metal (2017) The most recent Crisis Event depicts a bad guy, named Barbados, who seeks to leave a dark Multiverse dimension via Batman.  Upon escaping, he brings with him various other murderous and evil Batmans, led by the Batman who laughs and kicks the butts out of the regular Multiverse characters. Eventually the Multiverse heroes beat the Dark Multiverse.  This series is the first to not have any major shake-ups in the universe necessarily.     Character History: Depending on which timeline, revamp, or relaunch, the character’s history has been changed countless times to suit the needs of the writers and runners of the comic books.   The most common origin stories for Diana include: She was born of clay and brought to life as a golem by the gods She was a blessing from the gods She is the daughter of Zeus, and thus a demi-god.   All stories start with Diana being raised on Paradise Island, later renamed Themyscira, and being trained by the Amazons of the island.  She meets with Captain Steve Trevor and is brought to the world of man, either to protect it, or to act as an Emissary for Themyscira.   Diana Prince is her alias, otherwise she is Diana of Themyscira, when not known as Wonder Woman.  She is depicted as being among the best woman in the world.  Strong and powerful, but delicate and kind, smart and heroic, embodying all the greatest qualities of womanhood.    Beyond that, she is considered a part of the Holy Trinity of DC Comics, which include Superman, Batman, and herself.  She is also the first of the Three to join the Justice League, later retconed as her, Superman, and Batman creating the league together.   Her Powers include: Super Strength Super Durability Super Speed Super Agility Healing Factor Flight (Post Crisis on infinite Earths)   Beyond her Super powers she is a: Master Tactician Master Combatant Multi-Lingual Expert Pilot Possessing Great Wisdom   Equipment: Bracelets of Submission – Crafted from Zeus’s legendary Aegis Shield, Wonder Woman’s iconic bracelets act as Bracers on her arms, allowing her to deflect bullets and projectiles,including energy blasts. Lasso of Truth – a powerful rope that is capable of retraining the universes strongest beings, including Superman.  The lasso also compels people to be truthful.  The lasso has also shown healing and anti-magic properties. Golden Tiara – Wonder Woman’s headband has doubled as a boomerang on occasions, depicted as being super strong and sharp. Invisible Jet – Wonder Woman’s original mode of transportation prior to her ability to fly.  It is meant to be based on a Pegasus, but has changed from a propeller plane to a jet plane over time and publications. Sword and Shield – Since the New 52 continuity, Wonder Woman has also carried a Sword and Shield, reminiscent of gladiators in Roman times.  They’re depicted as being of similar metal to her Tiara and costume, having been crafted by the Amazonians.   Costume: Depending on the depiction, Wonder Woman’s costume has been relatively consistent over time, mirroring similar elements over the time.  Most notable changes over time have included the bottom portion going from a skirt with stars to high-cut briefs with stars, her red, strapless top depicting an eagle, later her Wonder Woman logo over the cups of the breasts.  In 2010, they decided to change her look up and gave her pants and a leather jacket.  The original look would alter return a year later in 2011, and by 2016, her look was resigned to look more gladiatorial, with an over the shoulder strap for her sword and shield, along with her a gladiatorial skirt in the form of leather strips, not unlike Xena, Warrior Princess.  This was also the version used for the Live Action movies.     Villains: Wonder Woman’s Rogue Gallery consists of a lot of Greek Gods and Mythology creatures, though has some unique villains too.  Though they all share a common element that they are all intelligent and/or doctors in some field.   Giganta – a woman who is capable of changing her shape and size, while still retaining her intelligence.   Cheetah – a woman, occasionally a man, who dresses like a Cheetah to fight Wonder Woman.  Modern takes on Cheetah have her Cheetah like characteristics and powers gifted by the plant god Urzkartaga.   Doctor Psycho – can control minds.  He’s notable for being created partly based off Marston’s college professors who opposed women’s suffrage and feminism.   Doctor Poison – a woman who uses poison to control minds, along with other effects.   Ares – The God of War, who is in direct opposition to Wonder Woman, who strives for peace around the world.   The First Born – Daughter of Hera and Zeus, he is destined to sit on Zeus’s throne.  He fights with Wonder Woman who aims to stop him.   Circe – A Sorceress with various god like powers, including mind control, creating energy blasts, teleportation, and transforming objects. She’s all known for her siren’s call that lures men to their death.   Medusa – the Gorgon with snake like hair and can turn people in to stone.   In Media: Beyond the original Comic Books, Wonder Woman has been a pop Icon for the last 80 years.  As a result, she’s been depicted in various media outside of her comic origin.   It was the famous 1975 Wonder Woman Tv Show which reintroduced Wonder Woman’s powers in the comics.  Protrayed by Lynda Carter.   Wonder Woman has been a mainstay of various animated DC properties.  Most Notably in the Super Friends Cartoons from the 70s and 80s and the DC Animated Universe cartoons that aired throughout the late 90s and early 2000s.  She’s also been a part of major Justice League Direct to Video features.    In Film, She is portrayed by Gal Gadot in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, Wonder Woman, and Wonder Woman 1984.

It's a bit of a light week to close out the year, but Jace and Manny do take a look at some of the books hitting stands this week. We have the final Death Metal One-Shot as well as the Tales from the Dark Multiverse issue that ties into Metal. Both serve as a reminder about the tone of this giant event that has spanned 3 years of DC storytelling. Jace also talks about the conclusion to the Endless Winter story.

Pete:                I'm Pete. Alex:                 And, this is the final Stack of 2020. Pete:                What? Justin:              Yes. Alex:                 [Crosstalk 00:00:18] It's the last one everybody. No more comic book reviews after this, until next year or next week, [crosstalk 00:00:23]. Justin:              We'll have some fresh ones. Pete:                [crosstalk 00:00:25] It's like a week away. Like, what are you doing? Justin:              No, but we're going to be different people then. We're going to have different ideas. We're going… [Crosstalk 00:00:32] Pete:                What? Justin:              The comics are going to be different, man. 2021. [crosstalk 00:00:35] They're probably all going to come out of your computer. Alex:                 I can be very political. Justin:              Oh, that's a fresh take. Alex:                 Thank you. Pete:                Oh wow. Alex:                 Here's something [crosstalk 00:00:43] not political. Actually, I guess maybe it kind of it is, but let's kick it off with Batman Annual #5 from DC Comics by James Tynion IV and James Stokoe. So, this is the origin of Clownhunter. Here, we get a story of [inaudible 00:00:55] and Clownhunter, a little bit of Batman in it, but pretty much a flashback after his experiences, backing off from killing Harley Quinn. This was a great story. And, particularly just the collaboration between James Tynion and James Stokoe was great. Justin:              The art in this book was excellent. Just a really fun story. We've seen a lot of Clownhunter lately, like a lot. Pete:                Yeah. Justin:              So to go back into this, I was like, “Oh, more.” But, to get the backstory and with such a great fresh art look, like really enjoyed it. Pete:                Yeah. I really like the way the counselor talked to Clownhunter and Batman. Like, when she said that, “Batman is smart,” oh, I laughed. That was just fun. Yeah. It's great to get this kind of like origin story. It makes a lot more sense now with everything. I would have liked this a little bit sooner, but I'm very happy that we got it. Alex:                 Jesse, you talk about this a lot, about what James Tynion has been trying to do seemingly, is add a lot of wrinkles to the Batman mythos with Clownhunter, with Ghost-Maker. Justin:              Yeah. Pete:                Ghost-Maker. Alex:                 Classic character, clearly he had a big impression on me. As well as just his take on a Harley, and the Joker and other things. And, that really starts to pay off here, I think in a nice way. It definitely makes me engendered to the character quite a bit more. Let's move on and talk about Wolverine #8 from Marvel, written by Benjamin Percy, art by Adam Kubert and Viktor Bogdanovic. This is, I believe, the 350th adventure of Wolverine; and finally, they're over. This is it. This is the last adventure of Wolverine after 350. As he promised in his first appearance back in Incredible Hulk, he said, “Hey Bob, 350 times and I'm done.” Justin:              Yeah. Alex:                 And now he's, “That's it.” Justin:              “I'm going to replace Professor X someday,” he said, as he fought the Hulk. Alex:                 Pete, what do you think about this issue, did this hold up to the immense legacy of Wolverine? Pete:                No. But, we kind of got like different stories here. Some of them more enjoyable than others, but I did very much enjoy a lot of the action and the one where like, Wolverine's like punching this face in the water. That was great. Very enjoyable. It's a good way to kind of talk to people. I'm very excited for how it ended though. I don't know if we should do spoilers or not, but I'm excited for- Alex:                 No, we don't really do spoilers on this podcast after the comics have already come out. Yeah, of course, you can go. Pete:                All right, fine. I'm excited for Patch to be back, and to get more Patch. Justin:              Patch Adams. Pete:                Well, Robin Williams rest in peace, you fucken legend. But, not that Patch. I'm talking about the old Wolverine Patch. So, very cool. Justin:              “It is interesting to touch on so much of the Wolverine legacy,” as you said Alex. Reading this book made me want to see a series that is literally just like, sort of time-dashing through different Wolverine eras and telling us some stories we haven't heard yet. Because, I feel like we get Wolverine showing up in the present day areas where he had all this history, and he's like, “Ah shit, I got to deal with the son of this person I killed,” or something. And like, it made me want to see more stories throughout the Wolverines 350 issue long history. Alex:                 I really believe Benjamin Percy invented the CIA character that Wolverine is hanging out with. He just feels like a very different character interaction Wolverine, where he's not a super spy. He's just a member of the CIA. He's mostly hanging out in his backyard, and he's really just there for Wolverine to have somebody to sound off of, and that's it. He's not a mutant. Well, that's great. There's something really involving about that relationship that feels fresh and new. And, I liked that quite a bit. Like, the issues where it's just them talking. Very cool. A lot of fun. Pete:                Yeah. I disagree with you. That's what I was talking about when it was [inaudible 00:05:08], but you do get some really great kind of classic Wolverine moments. There's like a big splash page where he's kind of coming through a window with his claws out and he's like, “I got a dog in this fight.” Alex:                 You don't like CIA guy, Pete? Pete:                No, no, I don't like CIA guy. Alex:                 Can I pause at something by you? I think if they were sitting in a bar, you would like it a lot more than if [crosstalk 00:05:32] they're sitting in a backyard. Justin:              Yeah. Pete:                Well, I very much enjoy the backyard drinking. That's all we can do right now. We can't really go in bars. The bar thing isn't really what… It was just kind of like the way the CIA guy was, that I didn't trust him, or I didn't think Wolverine should be chatting with him. It seemed like Wolverine's too busy to stop for a beer at that moment. Justin:              It's like I always say, “A backyard is just a bar without a pool table.” Pete:                I always say that. Alex:                 Nailbiter Returns #8 from Image Comics written by Joshua Williamson, art by Mike Henderson. We get some big revelations through this issue about the game that has been going on since these fake and real serial killers. And, we get a big flashback to Nailbiter's origin story, or at least, I guess, before his origin story. I say this every issue, “I love how they're fleshing out and adding to this mythology.” “It's just fun, it's gross.” It plays out one of my biggest fears about poking out eyeballs that are [crosstalk 00:06:35]. Justin:              Ah, that's all I could think about. I have such [crosstalk 00:06:38] a… I don't have a lot of like picky fears, but falling down and having my eyeball catch on the edge sharp table- Alex:                 Oh, stop. Justin:              … is a big one. It's a big one for me. Like tripping randomly, and then boop, corner of a table. Alex:                 [crosstalk 00:06:53] I just want to note this for the person who does transcripts on our podcast, please put in everybody cringed when Justin said [crosstalk 00:07:00] Justin:              [crosstalk 00:07:00] Yes, exactly. Also, an umbrella spoke going into my eye. Pete:                Nailbiter is great. I mean, it should have been in our kind of like top list of the year, for sure. Alex:                 Oh, here we go. Pete:                But, it's one of those things where I'm really impressed with the storytelling of this book. Like, they did a really amazing job of like getting a lot of action in the front, and like slowly rolling out the story. This is issue eight and we're kind of getting the origin story, that's kind of crazy, but it really works in this world. It's the action and the intensity are so over the top, but the story is very interesting, which is impressive. And, the characters and the grossness, and the fact that we're reacting so much to a comic book really says a lot about how well they do creating this world, and sucking us all into it and kind of making a part of it. It's so creepy. And, I can't believe that like, this is just the tip of the iceberg for their plans to come. I can't wait to read more. This is such an intense, over the top book. Really, well done. Alex:                 Let's move on and talk about Tales from the Dark Multiverse, Dark Nights: Metal #1 from DC Comics. Story by Scott Snyder, Jack Lanzing and Collin Kelly, written by Jack Lanzing and Collin Kelly, pencils by Karl Mostert. It's appropriate that this book is about the Joker Dragon, because this is the most ouroboros snake eating its own tail book that DC has maybe ever done. It's insane. It is a version of the Dark Multiverse where the heroes lost Dark Nights: Metal that is being reflected because of Dark Nights: Death Metal, never getting to see this. I went to do this very trepidatious. I was not sure about this idea at all, but I think it paid off really nicely. I like this a bit. And shockingly, I think it actually has repercussions for the future of the DC Universe in a big way, that was very surprising. Pete:                Yeah. I really love this book. I was surprised, Dark Metal keeps turning it up, and turning it up. And, like the hilarious degradation shredding on the guitar, and then having a kryptonite pick. That was insane. The [crosstalk 00:09:25] Joker Dragon was awesome. Justin:              Very fun. Pete:                This is just so much fun, completely over the top. This is just great. Justin:              I like seeing Duke take such a prominent place in the DC Universe. Like, a character that I felt was created, and then occupied this weird place where he's was a Robin who became this new character, who had metahuman abilities, which is something that really hasn't been touched upon in the Bat Family. So, it felt like he slipped into this sort of middle place. And, to see him back here as a focus, and still sort of as a Bat character while still carving out his own place, I really liked. Alex:                 Yeah. Good book. Definitely pick it up. Next up, The Amazing Spider-Man #55 from Marvel, written by Nick Spencer, art by Patrick Gleason. We are continuing and maybe wrapping up the last remains storyline involving Harry Osborn. It seems like maybe we're moving on with something different next issue, but nothing is resolved here necessarily. [crosstalk 00:10:31] And I got to be honest, I like this issue. I'm still willing to follow them, but we're getting to the point where I really need some answers, or they're going to lose me. [crosstalk 00:10:43] to be honest. Justin:              I agree with you. Like, I do think this character has been one this… I guess we can say it's Harry Osborn at this point. Alex:                 Yeah. Pete:                Yeah. Justin:              It seems like it just is, has been held over our heads for every issue up to this point, right. For 54 issues basically. And we were getting, it just feels like we're not getting the whole thing. And, I don't know why. Because, if you read this sort of by itself, it's like, “Oh, I see this villain has captured Peter Parker and all of his friends, and is going to kill them solely, and Peter Parker has to get away.” But, it does feel like there's a missing piece that sort of really binds everything together. And I'm, to your point, sick of the coin that's associated with it. Especially when like the Sin-Eater storyline before this was so good, and felt like such a great standalone story. I want to have that feeling about this issue, or this series, this arc as well. Pete:                This is just a little too intense for me for Spider-Man. Like, the part where Spider-Man shoots his webbing through somebodies head, and out the back of their skull was just like, “Holy shit.” I didn't think I would ever see that in a Spider-Man comic. I think sometimes Nick Spencer is a little bit more of a shock factor, and I don't know, it's pulling me out of the story a little bit. It doesn't feel like a Spider-Man comic, even though it's obviously dealing with Spider-Man, and all the friends, and all that stuff. Also, the MJ stuff in here was weird, but maybe that's just because I have MJ issues in Spider-Man right now. Justin:              [crosstalk 00:12:28] I liked MJ being such a bad-ass in this issue, though. Like, she really is the hero. Pete:                Yeah. She really does kind of like step up and kind of be like, “All right asshole, what the fuck is your deal?” Alex:                 All right. I'll throw one theory out at you about Amazing Spider-Man and what's going on, that I feel like its kind of obvious, but I'm not sure that they're going to go for it. And, I thought they were going to go for it in this issue based on what they said, and then they didn't. Is this because of One More Day? Like, did this- [crosstalk 00:12:58] Justin:              I thought that too. I thought we [crosstalk 00:13:00] were going to find out what MJ whispered to Mephisto, and it had something to do with it. Pete:                That's what I thought too, and then it didn't. Alex:                 [crosstalk 00:13:08] reverse it or change it, because there's the whole thing about MJ saying, “No, Peter doesn't remember.” Harry doing a toast and saying, “Brand new day.” Justin:              Yeah. Alex:                 That was the part that I was like, “Oh, shit,” when that got to the middle of the issue, and then they didn't follow up on it. So that, I think is to me, is the thing where it feels like you were saying, Justin, “You got to stop being coy about it, just get to whatever it is and let us know.” And hopefully, that happens next issue. Justin:              Yeah. And, I will say the way this issue ends makes me think they could still go that way. Alex:                 Yes. Pete:                Yeah. They're definitely toying with our emotions in this, for sure. Alex:                 Next up, the Monstress Talk-Stories #2 from Image Comics, written by Marjorie Liu, illustrated by Sina Takeda. Alex:                 I think we were unilaterally loved the first issue of this, which was as the title implies, merely a story showing the past of some of the characters in the present day of Monstress. This tells another story of those characters past. And, it's as gorgeous, and lovely, and sweet and [inaudible 00:14:11]. Justin:              Lush. Alex:                 Lush is a great adjective. Great story. Pete:                Yeah. It's not just a story though. It's a talk-story. Alex:                 Okay, [crosstalk 00:14:21] Justin:              Wow. Pete:                Somebody telling somebody else this story. Justin:              A talk-story, that's basically a podcast. Pete:                Oh, weird. But yeah, I can see why this is Alvin's favorite- [crosstalk 00:14:30] Alex:                 Hey, what's up everybody? This is Monstress, we're sponsored this week by [Blue Apron 00:00:14:33]. Blue Apron. Pete:                Yeah. I can see why this is one is Alvin's favorite picks, because it's got some like creepy, furry shit in here, but that is [crosstalk 00:14:46]… Alex:                 You know me. Pete:                Yeah. You're a perv. Justin:              Oh, I thought you were going to define yourself when you said that. You know me question mark. Alex:                 [crosstalk 00:14:56] I like to leave an air of mystery for our listeners. Justin:              Yeah. Pete:                But, the art alone is just glorious. It's really just fantastic, jumps right off the page, and is worth it. Justin:              It's super dreamy in a good way. Like, I feel like this sort of plays a little bit like a prequel, but the sort of dreamy look of the art makes it feel like one of the characters is remembering this or dreaming it, which I think you don't really see in a lot of comics. I thought that was cool. Pete:                Yeah. Alex:                 Good issue. And, good two issues series, even if you haven't necessarily been reading the book. Next up, Dark Nights: Death Metal – The Last 52: War of the Multiverses #1 from DC Comics, written by Joshua Williamson and Scott Snyder, Magdalene Visaggio, James Tynion IV, Kyle Higgins, Regin Sawyer, Che Grayson, Marguerite Bennett, Matthew Rosenberg and Justin Jordan. Art by Dexter Soy, Scott Koblish, Alex Maleev, Scott Kolins, Alitha Martinez, Pop Man, Inaki Miranda, Rob Guiilory and Mike Henderson. Alex:                 This is a bunch of stories that take place simultaneously with the end of Dark Nights: Death Metal, is all of the Multiverses are all fighting together. As usual, it's a mixed bag, some are good, some are fine. But, what jumped out at you? What did you particularly like about this issue? Pete:                I really like Bergy's story, Matt Rosenberg. The Armageddon Blues was a lot of fun. Yeah. I just… Some like really cool, amazing art. Yeah. But, some of the story not as good, but there was some great stuff in there. Justin:              I agree with you. I really liked the Rosenberg story, which featured Constantine and dark Constantine like becoming [crosstalk 00:16:40] Pete:                Yeah, two Constantines. Justin:              Yeah. Alex:                 Yeah. Pete:                I just don't know why one Constantine would trust the other one. When they're pouring the drinks, I was like, “Come on, if you're really Constantine, you'd fucken know.” Alex:                 To give you the conceit of the story, everybody's meeting their dark multiverse opposites, who they're the worst version of themselves. And, Constantine, in the version he meets himself, is basically indistinguishable from himself. And, it's fun. Yeah, they just try and get a drink in the Oblivion Bar and hang out, compare notes. It's a good time. Justin:              I also really liked the story right before that, by Marguerite Bennett and Inaki Miranda, which was a Penguin focused story, which felt like [crosstalk 00:17:16] it was specific, and good and horrifying in a great way. Pete:                Yeah. Alex:                 Good stuff. I think a good collection better than I expected. And definitely, if you've been enjoyed Dark Nights: Death Metal, a good thing to pick up. Next up Avengers #4 from Marvel, by Jason Aaron and Javier Garonne, is kicking off the Phoenix storyline in earnest. Justin, what do you think? You were into this. Pete:                Our very own [JTS'Z 00:17:42]. Justin:              Hey, Let me handle this one guys. Pete:                .All right. Justin:              I like this a lot. I feel like Jason or Aaron has really cornered the market on these fun, high stakes Avengers stories that take up a premise, and just laid on the table, and then just really amp it all the way up, and tell us these wild stories focusing on the different Avenges dealing with, in this case, the Phoenix Force. We had all the great Ghost Rider stuff before this, the vampire stuff before that, like I've been really enjoying these runs. They're a little bit lighter than you might expect the Avengers to be, but it's great. Pete:                Yeah. I really enjoyed this. Art is glorious. It's just kind of like a great jumping on point for this big thing that's happening. But I like how, even though it's huge, there's a lot of fun, like really small, cool moments. And, I also love when Captain America has downtime, he's just punching shit, just working shit out. You got to respect that, man. That's just great. Alex:                 Yeah. I like this. This is fun. I mean, there's not much going on here in terms of innovation, but it's Doctor Doom versus Captain America, and that's a good time. Pete:                Yeah, its fun. Alex:                 Next up, Lost Soldiers #5 from Image Comics, by Ales Kot and Luca Casalanguida. This is, I think, the last issue of this. We've [crosstalk 00:19:07] checked in a couple of issues here. Gorgeous, gorgeous book. Justin:              It is. The art is so good in this book, especially the last sort of run, the last sequence going to the end. Really, just a great combination of words and texts while bringing the story together, this… Sorry, words and pictures while bringing the story together, really well done. Pete:                Yeah. Casalanguida, I know we kind of… It's tough with the name or whatever, but just wanting to kind of point that out. Alex:                 Oh, sorry about that. Pete:                Yeah, yeah. [crosstalk 00:19:40] Alex:                 Hey Pete, I'm glad you never get names wrong and you're always here to correct me on- Pete:                Oh no, I'm not… No, no, no. [inaudible 00:19:47], I am not attacking you on that. I am awful- [crosstalk 00:19:50] Alex:                 You son of a bitch. Justin:              Wow. I knew we'd [crosstalk 00:19:53] break up eventually. Pete:                I'm just trying to help. Justin:              But here, this is the precipice of 2021, [inaudible 00:19:58] year. The year we always said it was going to be our year. Pete:                I'm just trying to look out- [crosstalk 00:20:03]. Alex:                 We had that 15 year plan. Justin:              Exactly. Textbook we've fit every one. Pete:                But, this is like so creepy in a lot of different ways. I kind of had to read it a couple of times to really tried to get what was happening. It's very intense. It's really well done. But, it's really just very moving, and it's just shakes you a little bit. Alex:                 Good stuff. Let's move on and talk about the Jinny Hex Special #1 from DC Comics, written by Magdalene Visaggio, art by Gleb Melnikov. This is focusing on a character… I don't know if it was created by Brian Michael Bendis, but certainly he wrote it over in his Young Justice book. This is a descendant of Jonah Hex who lives in the modern day. And this book, she is dealing with the resurgence of an old villain. Alex:                 I loved this book. I thought this was such a fun story. And, I was very surprised to find out the art was by Gleb Melnikov, instead of Humberto Ramos, because I thought it was Humberto Ramos for a good portion of the book. It was not, but just a fun mashup of western story and magic. And, just the positivity of the Jinny Hex character is infectious over the course of the pages. Justin:              I agree. I want to see more from this character. Pete:                I had a hard time with this. The art, I agree, is unbelievable. It's an interesting story. But, the problem I had was this doesn't feel like someone who's related to Jonah Hex in any way. I wanted her to be… Alex:                 You wanted her to have a piece of skin connecting her top lip to [crosstalk 00:21:52] bottom lip. Pete:                No. I wanted her personality to be kind of like a little gruff, not trust people as much, like kind of feel a little bit like Jonah Hex, gave me that relation. But, she was very sunny and nice. And I'm like, “That doesn't feel like a Hex to me.” Justin:              “Like a fresh take,” you're saying. Pete:                Yeah, I mean, I understand like, “Hey, let's change the character, maybe make them a little bit more approachable.” Cool. But, you got Hex on the last name, so I want to see some grit. I want to see a little bit meaner type of person, [crosstalk 00:22:25] not trusting a person. Justin:              You want to see a piece of skin, connect the grittiness to [crosstalk 00:22:28] Pete:                Stop saying the skin. The skins not the character. Justin:              Like a googly [crosstalk 00:22:32] eye, you had googly eye. Alex:                 It's kind of the character. Justin:              If I were to name four things about Jonah Hex, I think three of them would be the one side of his face. Pete:                Oh my [inaudible 00:22:41]. I read a lot of Jonah Hex. I love Jonah Hex. So, I had a lot of high hopes for this. I think it's great. I do want more of this, but I hope the more we get, the more we kind of find out a little bit darker stuff about Jinny. Justin:              How many times have you watched the Jonah Hex movie? Pete:                That is garbage. Don't talk about that- [crosstalk 00:23:03] Alex:                 I mean, I will mention there's a really great interview where Josh Brolin mentions that, “He always wanted to play a character that had a piece of skin that connected his top lip and his bottom lip.” He finally got to do it. [Crosstalk 00:23:12]. Pete:                The skin is not the character. Alex:                 It's kind of the character. Pete:                Stop. Justin:              He talks about it all the time. Plus, most of the issues, he's going to the dermatologist to get that thing treated. Pete:                Oh my god, I fucken hate you guys so much. Justin:              An early western dermatology. Pete:                Why do I do this? Why do I do this to myself? Justin:              Moisturize it Jonah. Alex:                 Moisturizer, got it. Justin:              Its so [crosstalk 00:23:34] hard, it keeps it chapped. Alex:                 It's very [crosstalk 00:23:36] dry here [crosstalk 00:23:37] desert. Pete:                Well, at least I have a line that's like I'm trying to not be like Jonah Hex. You know what I mean? Like, give me something. Justin:              I am a medicine man and I recommend you moisturize. Alex:                 King in Black: Iron Man, Doctor Doom #1 from Marvel written by Christopher Cantwell, art by Salvador Larroca. As you can figure out for the title, this is Ironman and Doctor Doom teaming up during- [crosstalk 00:23:59]. Pete:                Teaming up. Alex:                 … the whole King in Black storyline to try and kill Santa Claus. Justin, you've been very anti Santa Claus in Marvel Comics over the past couple of weeks. How did this issue strike you? Justin:              I got to say, I thought this was fun. I feel like Christopher Cantwell is occupying this space of like, just good storytelling that are sort of funny, but have these like good underpinnings, like the Doctor Doom series that he just did. And, it was such a surprise, I guess. So, it got me. Pete:                Yeah, it was. Like the look on his face when they're like, “Is that Santa?” That was really fun. Yeah, I agree, it's kind of insane, but it's a fun story. Yeah. I mean, if people love vines, creepy vines, they're going to love the story as well. Alex:                 Yeah. If you love creepy vines, definitely check out this book. Moving on. Justin:              I love Red Vines. Can I still… Is this story still accessible [crosstalk 00:24:58]? Alex:                 Ah, come on. Pete:                Are you serious? Alex:                 Only good for soda. [crosstalk 00:00:25:01]. Justin:              Just kidding. Nobody loves Red Vines. Alex:                 Nobody loves Red Vines, I love Twizzlers tho. Pete:                Twizzlers. Yeah. Now, we're talking. Justin:              I don't like any of them. I want my candy to be not rope. Pete:                What? Justin:              Not ropey. Alex:                 What about sour straws? What about those? Justin:              Give me a Sour Patch child, [crosstalk 00:25:20] I'll eat those. Alex:                 Child. Fair enough. Stranger Things: Science Camp #4, speaking of children, Dark Horse Comics written by Jodie Houser, pencils by Edgar Salazar. So, this is wrapping up this storyline taking [crosstalk 00:25:34] between season two and three as Dustin and his new girlfriend fight a serial killer at camp. Spoiler, it turns out maybe not totally a serial killer. Pete, you seem to like this. What's going on? Pete:                Yeah, this was great. This is what I wanted from the beginning. I wanted to see how they got together. This is just kind of a fun…. I just appreciated what they did here. They connected things for us. That's what I want, when it's like between seasons, like give me how this happened. They did it in such a great way, that felt like the characters we know and love. I thought this was great. I thought it made sense, that it was… I don't want to spoil it, but like, yeah, it was cool. And, totally felt like it fit in the world. And, I was happy. Justin:              I was down on the first couple issues of this, but I thought this last issue really wrapped it up nicely. [crosstalk 00:26:30] It felt like we really landed in a place where it felt more like the Dustin character, and that he found sort of a new batch of kids to really do a stranger thing with. Pete:                [inaudible 00:26:43] Alex:                 I Agree. I thought this was fun. I enjoyed the series overall. My one quibble is, and this is an impossible problem to get past, but it felt like there is no way that Dustin would ever not mention everything that happened to this comic book series to his friends. Justin:              Yeah. Alex:                 Like, he would not shut the fuck up about what went on here. The fact that he didn't mention it, it was like, “Eh, I don't believe this is necessarily canonical,” like there's that leap there. Pete:                Oh, you've… I mean, that's insane. Alex:                 Dustin, the character from Stranger Things would not be like, “Hey, there was a serial killer at camp.” He wouldn't mention that? Pete:                Yeah. But, this is a comic that takes place in-between. You can't go back and wretchedly change what happened. Alex:                 He would have 100%, like I respect that they needed to do this, so they made the story work. Pete:                That's not how this works, man. Alex:                 No, I understand like logically- Pete:                The shows already came out. Alex:                 I understand logically- Pete:                You can't… Justin:              To be fair guys- Pete:                What are they going to do, fucken- Justin:              … in-between seasons of Comic Book Club, I fought a serial killer to the death. Alex:                 You did mention that before. [crosstalk 00:27:51]. Justin:              And, I did mention it. Alex:                 Okay. You also got a girlfriend right? Justin:              What happens in-between seasons, stays in-between seasons. Pete:                In-between panels, shit goes down, bro. You can't- [crosstalk 00:28:00] Alex:                 I'll tell you what, it is the never ending story. That's the main thing that I would [crosstalk 00:28:04] take away from it. Pete:                That's the stupidest… Alex:                 Justice League: Endless Winter #2, from DC Comics written by Andy Lanning and Ron Marz, art by Carmine Di[inaudible 00:28:13]. Justin:              Wow. Alex:                 Saw Pete looking at me, I going to pitch it. Justin:              Pete, holding up a notepad, getting [crosstalk 00:28:25] redline. Pete:                Oh my God. You just bailed on it. Oh my god. Justin:              That was the most Pete thing you've ever done. These dudes get into trouble and be like, “Well, I'm not going to finish that.” Alex:                 Carmine Di [inaudible 00:28:47]… Justin:              Yeah. Alex:                 I'm so sorry. Pete:                Oh god. Alex:                 You're a wonderful artist, and Howard Porter, this is wrapping up the Endless Winter storyline that's run through a couple of books over the past couple of month. We were pretty high on the first issue. But, how do you feel about how this event wrapped up? Justin:              It's much more different reading this during the winter. You really feel the cold. Alex:                 Yeah. Cool. Thanks. Pete, what about you? Pete:                Oh my God. All right. Okay. First off, can we give a shout out Variant Cover by Daniel Warren Johnson. I thought this was amazing art, a great story. The sad Batman line kind of hurt me a little bit where it was just like, the chance to be with your family, anyone would understand. I was like, “Oh, poor, sad Batman, that was tough, tough a little moment there.” But yeah, I thought this was great. Justin:              It's interesting how much Black Adam becomes the center point of this story, which I am not crazy into. Pete:                Okay. Justin:              But, that's where we are, I guess. Alex:                 I do feel like we've gotten a little repetitive with the Black Adams storylines, where he's like, “Black Adam, you shouldn't be here.” And then, Black Adam is there and he's like, “I'm trying to help.” And they're like, “No, Black Adam.” Then beat him up a little bit. I want to see something new for him. I want to see a new mode for Black Adam. Pete:                Yeah. You all aright? You got the hiccups or something? Alex:                 Yeah, I got a little bit of the hiccups. Justin:              What happened? Pete:                Its like, “Are you getting choked up talking about Black Adam, likes what's [crosstalk 00:30:31]. Alex:                 [inaudible 00:30:32] so much. Don't pick out Black Adam. I love Black Adam. Yeah, this is fine though. This is fine. Like, we talked about with the first issue, Andy Lanning and Ron Marz know their way around an event, and make it fun. They know all the characters. It's enjoyable. If you've been following all along, I think there's a solid ending. Alex:                 Moving on to Ghost Rider: Return of Vengeance #1 from Marvel, written by Howard Mackie, pencils by Javier Saltares. This is, as we all have been begging for, the return of some guy who has been trapped in hell and a bunch 90s characters who escape from hell, and there's a bunch of fighting. Pete, I'm sure you love this. Pete:                Yeah. This was like a younger me, well like wheelhouse of just over the top action and crazy characters. Yeah. I mean, it doesn't make much sense, but it is quite badass, and a lot of fun battles and very gross stuff. Alex:                 Justin. Justin:              On my end, I agree with you. When they said at the beginning of this issue, “Michael Badilino,” I was like, “Oh, I feel like I'm at someone's birthday party, and I don't know who it is.” And, that was sort of the whole vibe here. I was like, “This is like a ghostwriter who is…” This is a little mean, but it's just less interesting than all the other ghostwriters. So I was like, “I don't quite know the deal here, but-“ Pete:                Yeah, its like Heavy Metal Ghost Rider, basically. Justin:              Yeah. Alex:                 Yeah. I mean, I agree with you, and I agree that it's also mean. But definitely reading this, I was like, “Who is this for?” “Who are they publishing this for it?” “Have people been demanding this?” I'm sure this is something that, oh, you Pete. Pete:                Well, younger… Lets… Yeah. Alex:                 Younger Pete. Pete:                Yeah. Justin:              Younger Pete. Alex:                 Yeah. There you go. It's just… I don't know it. Art's fine, writing's fine. I want a little more for my comics, that's all I'm saying. Pete:                Like, teenage me would fucken love this. Justin:              Teenage me would fuck over this. Alex:                 Oh boy, lets- Justin:              Speaking of getting a little more from our comics, let's move on to our next one. Alex:                 Colonel Weird: Cosmagog #3, from Dark Horse Comics, written by Jeff Lemire, art and letters by Tyler Crook. Spinning out of Black Hammer, Colonel Weird is continuing to jump through his timeline, Slaughterhouse-Five style, mix things up. There's something he's forgetting. He's tried to figure it out. My God, this series is so good. Justin:              So good. I love this title so much. Black Hammer does such a good job of being like… Yeah, we're telling sort of Justice League stories that have like Indie Comics, Justice League stories, you could say. And, this is just a perfect version of that. I love the art. I love the Slaughterhouse-Fiveness of it. It really just keeps hitting the mark, which is hard to do with what they've established here. Pete:                Also, there's a lot of like… I completely agree with everything you're saying, this is really phenomenal. The art's banana's good. But, it's also like a lot of really cool things. Its like, he stops and talks with this like somewhat, maybe homeless dude on the corner, and then the homeless dude had a little flower in his hair. And then later when we see him, the weird guy has a flower in his hair, similar to how he did. There's a lot of great details. Its just very impressive, this kind of weird-ass storytelling. I can't wait to see how this wraps up. Alex:                 I love how Tyler Cook, Crook, excuse me, draws Colonel Weird just with this mixture of vulnerability and sadness throughout the book. Justin:              Yeah. Alex:                 That is wonderful. We've talked about this before with Black Hammer, but just the way that Jeff Lemire is creating this own universe for himself, and his characters is awesome. So, this is great. Pete:                Also, like the eyeball stuff was not as like cringe-worthy as Nailbiter, it was a very creative and weird, but not like cringe-worthy, which was cool. Also- [crosstalk 00:34:52] Alex:                 To clarify, he shoots a giant eyeball. Pete:                Yeah. And then, we get like a tease image for the next issue, and the little prince from outer space style, just so cool. Alex:                 Great books. And, that's it for The Stack.

Anderson I was get the two mixed up two different one has initialled in the middle he played uh-huh Lupu did you ever see looper yeah he's Yep ax must not have been one of those movies because you can't forgive him in that you tends to disappear into his role it's Charlie data from the lowest blood he was the orphaned son or whatever cramp I haven't seen it in so long lunatics a world graded conical. Galway why Tyler here we can start with the big casting lose got a Lotta Batman Kathleen go wasn't Mandela yeah no I know I heard he was into a slave I assume he was what Zoe Kravitz this woman all Dano as the Ridler who I mean he surly and don't heart to glory than the Garden State are simple just ask for tyler I escaped the Phantom Zone and I'm here tonight maybe it will wash questionable one Wolf Wall Street I don't feel like it was we're all GonNa die okay so the district the casting are people that are good but we would never think in the front of our mind because Jody Hill Japan get Ross brought the old episodes so he's all in on acid Sunni way so we have the riddler all I can say whoever is going to end up being Mike how does this will trust me I never watched his show I'm just going to say don't get too attached to Jonah Hill oh you're young everybody rule the big guy you know he's a big guy over definitely getting to that point where he's watching definitely a guy bigger than his merchants which is saying a lot because he's got pretty big purchase the young is he young Bruce Willis Oh that's the one that gets interesting to hear you say that other Batman movie definitely thinking he is and yeah actors like this all the time we were like Oh you know what I do is art you know and it's like I don't think he's the riddler now I mean is this actor just really want to Alexander's she would need within New Jersey what's the darkness it looks like his Ex F. 00:07:42 - 00:20:48 A. K. A. Twigs I'm just saying we're talking maybe she looks like a girlfriend oh I just missed the kid from third rock from no uh-huh Alma she's not a bad actress I'm going to say that you know and you know the crevices are we do that and that was Edward Norton speaking of diverse actors Edward Norton said he's totally down to come back to the MTA the Jason Momoa he was just being a guy who exactly exactly mental pat. I'm okay if you like Jonah where have you been done moneyball or log on yeah exactly that you're that you're bit you're he's another good athlete go right into right we don't let me see your face strong family owned hey mom overplayed his hand is warning him for penguin he wanted ridler and I was the other rumor that wanted more than you know I mean I you know it's one of these great aspects of of the Hassi history that earthquake hit thing that literally no one asked him well now the people are snow about him to come back not swimming in money you can play with you all this like crows you're right now that you think about it I was like Oh my God they literally just switch animal it made it to they did you know except for the title cat woman I mean there's no proof even that Halle Berry Linney Travis not that out of the park and hunger game and all right but then again the bear Moore's aren't that now just very scripted instead on your stop lease I could see I don't like to the script the cat woman was even in the DC version is all they did all they do is I took the script from the crow and put in a cat ed I remember I remember the trailer for cattleman start off saying like when you die spirits carry to the under all by a cat yeah I love across by the way I knew I mean the only movie ever the book is I never say the book better always in the movies better this one time where it will say absolutely the comic book is better than it did level legacy of Halle Haley well you know you know hopefully the legend okay jail it's all right he'll hopefully you got a nickel off of that yet I I still like the movie but man this is such a better story that's granted the comic book is probably less than than the movie which is kind of of course good it's GonNa be alright well she wasn't a cow he had a whole different name funding take me they made a tape they made four movies four movies not one that you know and he always as soon as someone asks that I liked about the book was the book teases the idea that the whole story could be Detroit so anymore it's over but I'm Living Zoe Kravitz cattleman hitched that because he kind of looks like Sir you really really defined the role and I loved how to be fair I mean I actually did see the movie I I did love the movie and I went and I found the book and it was just like Oh my God in fact because it was so good even after having very they say you know what if we get another another asking American lady that would be really awesome and now did you hear element it's wonderful I really complete opposite I usually the comics or the bulk is better than the movie and it's just like I think for the crow on the opposite I like the movie better it's like if you just if you just watch the movie and like during the comic like you don't even know the name of the main bad guy unless you look in the end credits yeah guys are always offensive out there I mean those are like ten dollars a Taylor is going to a rave right now a revenge fantasy that aired driven is heavy or just Eric didn't have named books having as dying name Okay Sleep Apnea Harley yeah both I might mean meeting Tom on Sunday oh cool we are how how things are not cinema go you know it's it's a much more personal story it's kind of it's the kind of story that was Martin Scorsese would make interest what do you think it is just that under five hundred that is looking at camera who is that is that Tom Welling Tyler Patrick you know on the phone yet making a comic book movie scene it's GonNa go anywhere he will you that's the thing is Martin Scorsese will make a comment the earth too yeah because blacks are hiring yeah but okay so they mixing before that Robert Queen was the man the man is that always the way the man gone down that's right man keeps you down fill man keeps whatever you kind of discovered I you know what I mean is one of those things and I I was more familiar with the prominent grew okay so a crisis and insurance so they killed Batman or something about how the cactus secular we already had a damn besser crazy in the crow movies I'd have but it's like they're really like no one calls them and they don't call them by name he doesn't call himself by name it's just like than the movie I mean the movie is is good but it's a completely different story than the comment is such a deep personal story the hood wheelers of earth too and there's no dialogue about him dying or returning her any at some point but he was still thought the hood I didn't know if he got it well yeah maybe Adrian Shaved Porn Roy any Portland neighborhood say oh well yeah but it is weird that like Oliver's didn't say anything about Robert or anything wing plan so in my store like I guess these are like magazine cover like magazine bags or something Oh okay so you got bags the God loves man kills will graphic now but he's bigger than the other ones too though too so that was the one thing that kind of threw me about and then they didn't even touch on like so Harry Jesse quick now dead too they me I'm wondering if he just came back for incident crisis and then he's gone after crisis go controversial opinions Oh here in the end yeah so I'm talking about that unexcited the dance well we get any owner forget any China you know something I thought it'd be neat like no we don't have I'm actually interested in meeting sue and Ralph you give them an VW Moseley because he mentioned I happen to he mentioned sue and happened to go and find her and I would rather do that storyline for you know Kinda get so I have a question for Lois and Phil Okay so was that I don't know I miss something on Arrow was that I think it's about time my dad loves man kills here but I think it's about the same size I think they said this is like wider than in the graphic novels that's what we used to call them back in the graphic novels it will big plus the whole thing so I did notice that the joker highly that I got was kind of a different side they do with with Brennan leaving Superman their minds I don't know I'd so you're right it is the canaries because you need a black Canary Yellow Canary Siren series well female green and yet flat flash forwards on the show it's going to be him and felicity daughter yeah the backing of like if you hadn't read the company didn't really know the history I can give you say that Oh boy no I think he's going to be recurring every so often this then they may be a whole in series he has no room I saw that are they like stuffing in suit aw thank you Louis thank you because that was what I said when they announced that way healthy and so I get okay some of that I just want to focus on the flash housing would on trump did they didn't they announce that they're doing Arrow Yeah Tony Artisan earthlings his when Superman can travel in the past boop might drop visioned bear God on the flash CISCO IS IN COSTUME YEAH still salary that he did that I think it was selfish and it was a dick move oh I looked like in foam reverend there that's allowed how lex luther became good and that his descendant went into space over time go the last luther the L. 00:20:48 - 00:20:50 dropped just became an by the way it's it's killer frost I don't care about that story man I get more about this than I do Caitlyn bite me again that's really on who actually hear about vibe anymore so he can't like feel in the by an earth is destroyed one else was saying he's getting his powers back then and if you look at the number the old wonder how leads any of that is the last two pages because you're okay because memory is so reliable memories never liable but I am I myself am adamant about the fact that it's it's such a gross assumption that opponents secondary sexual characteristic Richard about the whole history of the Marvel Universe if secret wars to it's fine spiderman stuff in Quasar thank you very important board of spider-man stuff what you I told you similar I don't remember that and read some of those things because all your mind ready talks about crush him say you know I'm Tony Generals were you ever went Red Sun offs yes it's Louder Than

always up for debate does right there l. 00:20:50 - 00:23:30 and the Red Sun ways communist Rochester yes it's interesting I read the book I don't remember I know spider man and Venom Liliane superconductivity later yeah forgiving agree the Marvel Universe reliable married award well if he he messaged me and shot that he's like Oh my lord you know because placticisers talking to frankly

good take a hey that everyone see naomie Harris Gut cast for Venom to nothing at all this is a world of capes in lunatics and nothing is off limits series is like a mature mature whatever well now they're now now they've already said okay now just a ninety six page one shot Kinda sorta what's your face comes back I mean the combat Michelle was coming down superconductivity orgy he might be on a lot to talk about the marriage maybe greater than Galactic I craft she's not coming back okay well they can do that but they were getting shrieked I don't care about well triggers shrike in his arms as well as I wasn't good aren't over medical term actually I oh but I remember I was telling you about their their Jane where they're launching birds of prey on Rica okay what do you think what is going to be excited but do you think Los Shriek Lady bummer maybe maybe the name of the show he was not Mormon sign I'm wondering Shriek has yet sonic powers yeah that's kind of a I don't know it was

more game especially that target actually reminds me not to say mark waits on a fantasy girl orders is pay he mentioned the important stuff like this askelon anyway buying Leeman yeah I think it's

that game said love that game to your local target into a mini series they were just like ongoing one shot nobody cares played out I don't think that they under Dan the cycle is other things finding their burn heraldic they burn deadpool out you know when they had to like they put her in everything hang out and then then Margot Robbie well I think diplomas we've only got a little bit over yeah if we would they would use issues you know I like to get you issues and then I can make an honest decision about the fullest but it's live action in the head to pay for it someone's getting naked role overnight for the next the premiere episode of Star Girl and didn't let on CW special event and then it was like for the rest of the series check out the petition do on he'd have you actually they almost only last like my my or jokes constantly thank you thank you yeah I mean I like the older the hard series did they are they still pretty that is men beyond beyond Harlequin both both among recall any hardware that show me your Harley I hope that star girl is more in a family ask nist though would like to watch it with my kids you know like the issue and I would grab it so I got two issues which I really love but you know very read that I like to put a book on the Pulis before thing and bring her back to form yeah give us an Eerie Harley Quinn nine she's out super no I have no idea what was my full lift so it was always just oh it's a new so you think you think you think they'd be dropping commercials every every commercial break for DC is that they take yeah but we're putting yeah but we're going to pay money for Disney plus and they're not going to be giving us that are they I want Old Lady Hurry I go GimMe Gimme party inside show me your book Old Lady Harley or do you mean the one from everything else is on DC universe words doomed already patrol or you know tightened were they don't tell the little questionable that'll have like a little kid around you know and quality content graphics you'll get yet well look for when it will mm-hmm did you guys hear about star girl she's got to be on the CW it Kinda makes sense if we're going to be like kind of touching into that small bill for Disney they've got the prestige label to to make the demands I think it's like if you're in yeah you know what I have I don't know that that's necessarily the case but more to the point they're gonna be giving us some good content give us under alimentary here's a sailor watch more episode with me but she did she was excited to see Robin so here's the rule if it's exactly friendly over at Tcu sure but that's how Tom Hardly animated that's definitely kid friendly something yeah language other sectors violence it's never salty later pay if you're paying pride in South Jersey man you can go down to Cape May it's almost tropical it's very nice almost tropical hello we're on our house April you don't see every five minutes you gotta find the next but I don't think we thought well that's not true all right I'm back next time Tom I will I will all right yeah let's talk some the harake lights are for what it's worth for what it's worth yeah I mean any it would it be nice if they did Komo deadpool one this'll be pg the worst and ever it's not GonNa be on DC universe moon at the bank just like I thought they'd never moved Willet I've been talking about war Ville the last four books yes this issue or the CDs you know humans are you know we have not come reply rope the IRA yeah but we let certain things we're GonNa pay our money NBC or how about what he calls his Co worker in the apartment now kind of desensitized and so ours union people who have found joy in the word of Avis and are trying to get back to crawl space I love a racist worshiped worship is the world the word of Avis is the head of the series for those who remember from last month there is a group of Eh really I mean the pluses like we'll give you like it shall never know bitcoin lay on the beach and the garbage global warming nowadays we barely get snow North Jersey anymore I got a piece spoiler venire gets shot in the head so and they did linger on it in kind of a grotesque way so that went on they were talking about they were talking about justice society on their Jay Garrick so it makes I mean where do you have a guarantee of what will be interesting they did something they did the pilot about it yeah well you know zoom patrol not watch with the kids swamp thing I'm not watching the kids Titans Titans are in the Solomon Oh car agency so awesome they may view on the show well yeah no they make the joke they they make very racist jokes he's like you gotTa Get Outta Love Florida as you all know the difference yeah go to Jersey let's just it'll be the same just colder Bob Bob is anywhere in the world guy you know it's a single vowel too hard consonants on either end and oh but of course we go there God's name's Bob what a stupid name for God God not like Jehovah That's a God thing able to pronounce it worked at Virginia now it should be something we can pronounce it should be very hard to pronounce it should be something yeah I mean I was born though maybe a little bit violent is that like I I don't see how you're like an art in the golden bears get your mouth overlords all you want from what its word how y'all know the rule no princess we have we have a South Jersey too titan fighting okay someone's getting no well spent language then maybe worse than anyone you're a bad parent like me your kids love that so yeah you put your on the job under some some some some of these species may have more vocal cords than we do but then it'd be but it's still going to be how we hear the word you know the joke is really anew that you are just sitting there looking at some stupid context of the joke they do as you would like to book stories why can't you pay attention like Charlie asks does ever be I don't know and this is oh look at this that makes you look stupid this is Charlie this is a series being written by humans so it's like you could name the race and again an actual you can write it anything term for Bob for God in in in a lot of fantasy novels and you know that you know at some point they call God it it just it's AC- race so you can make fun of them has oh hey that word sounds like a word that we have in our in our in our context yes when you're looking for that purpose in a religious ideology how first off some people can exploit that and people when I'm sorry daddy don't beat anymore la it's good because it does come down to this idea of why insane okay if you make this so it's like you know if you fight and so as an example you know you have you have Bob as us you know it's like no it's Avis you know but we can't hear that so you know we're the idiots that's the point in a language you don't even speak to make it there you go it's an alien greg which we shouldn't even be able to pronounce the name of their God or why shouldn't you be her out of the aggie w our who's making that no lives that's their course Zimmer was last time this hi pal it's Kinda thing Phil it's like there's only so many waged Combined sounds to make words some of them are going to sound Gordon Avis why is Jehovah that hard for you know but I mean how can you pronounce another language completely different lately they can produce significant four continents outside of our vocal range that is part of the name of Avis that we can't even here okay thank and why should that make you want to do evil if you do evil in the name of something good than it couldn't have been that good to start with so oh comedy Oh town but is it though style but it's still earth it's not a completely different planet in a different you know well yeah but how many bowel sounds do you think there are really the ads for books coming up from a dark horse you've got Count Crowley which is like really great and so now any kind of lives up to the height that's auto four part two of to the word of eight so they doing more ed to review on this but somebody you sure you didn't do it on your pants we might have talked about it at least one or two on superconductivity take it too far and other people can say you know if it is if it's if your faith is true if this really does give you purpose why should you care what other people it's really good as always like I say it's you know norval is a good movie TV series I can't see it on okay little from any book throughout I had no idea what the book is about but it's called strayed adding it's like some kind of cosmic cat and the Wacky nece that it indigenous the President Superman okay else I'm just saying nothing can be wiling other language violence and sex or like a

Dwayne McDuffie has stated that the creation of Static was a group effort.[citation needed] Originally developed for Marvel Comics, Static would become a main staple of the Milestone line. Much of the inspiration for Static came from Marvel's Spider-Man. When initially creating the first five characters for Milestone Comics, it was decided that Static would be created as a teenage hero who was a contemporary version of Spider-Man. Static's civilian identity, Virgil Hawkins, was named after a black man who was denied entrance to the University of Florida's law school in 1949.Milestone ceased publishing comics in 1997, but Static was saved from obscurity by The WB animated series Static Shock, which aired for four seasons and led to the 2001 comic book miniseries Static Shock: Rebirth of the Cool. The 2009 trade paperback of this series was nominated for a Glyph Comics Award for Best Reprint Collection.
