It's the interview Alan has been wanting to do ever since we started the podcast, and it did not disappoint! We finally got chatting to the one and only Rick Remender, best known for era defining runs on Venom and Uncanny X-Force amongst others while at Marvel, but for us it's his Indie work that shines brightest. Deadly Class, Fear Agent, Black Science, Seven to Eternity, Low, Tokyo Ghost and many others, demonstrate that he is one of the most consistent and important creators working in the medium today. We talk all of those over 2 episodes, as well as getting started, nearly going bankrupt, his time at Marvel, his Giant Generator imprint at Image, adaptations to other mediums and what he hopes for the future. Strap in, this is up there with our favourite ever episodes. We hope you enjoy it just as much.

Az Aether első adása, amelyben Kovács Rezsuk Dániellel és Szabó „Zoo_Lee” Zoltánnal beszélgettünk a lovecrafti, lovecraftiánus képregényekről... Pontosabban, Dani és Zoli beszélt, a Kultista Nagymester pedig végtelen bölcsességében a háttérbe vonult, legnagyobb szerencsénkre. Elképesztően tartalmas beszélgetés, rengeteg információval és képregénnyel, melyből kiderül, hogy milyen a Szukits Kiadó érkező Lovecraft antológiája, mikor és hogyan indultak a horror képregények, hogyan sikerült kicselezni a cenzúrát, mikor indultak a lovecrafti feldolgozások, melyik volt az első, és mi a helyzet a hazai képregényekkel. A beszélgetés végén Dani és Zoli három-három képregényt is ajánl képregényszűz lovecraftiánusoknak...

Welcome to The Stack. I'm Alex. Justin:              I'm Justin. Pete:                I'm Pete. Alex:                 And at The Staff we talk about a bunch of comics that came out this week, and we're going to kick it off with a big one, The Other History Of The DC Universe #1 from DC Comics. Story by John Ridley, layouts by Giuseppe Cammuncoli, finishes by Andrea Cucchi. You could probably figure it out by the title here as well as the cover, but this is obviously an alternate look at the DC Universe mostly through the eyes of Black Lightning, at least in this first issue. We'll see where it goes in subsequent issues. Alex:                 As he slowly works through his career, sees himself and other characters of color kind of pushed to the side of the DC Universe in favor of other characters like Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, learn something about himself, learn something about history. And mostly it's told through the images of course, but also told through prowess. Alex:                 I don't think there's really any dialogue whatsoever in this issue other than the what's told in the narration boxes. I thought this was pretty stunning, and almost across, this is probably too reductive, but across between a new frontier and the truth in a certain way. Justin:              Oh yeah. Alex:                 What did you guys think about this book? Pete:                I thought it was really touching, very powerful, moving, which was great. I really love the little Halloween thing, that was beautiful. Yeah, I was really happy to see this comic. I'm glad that this comic was made. It's a long time coming and I hope we get to see more of this. This is just great storytelling. Justin:              Yeah. I mean, just the format, the art is so nice. It feels like such a statement. It feels like such a … It sort of has this silver age vibe to it, which I think gives it this historical precedent. It just feels so like something that will be on the shelf and in the conversation for a long time. Justin:              And then like the otherness of it, like the way that Black Lightning story keeps getting told with the Justice League and the Glacier Heroes as a counterpoint, I think is really interesting. And like you said, Alex, the fact that he and just all the other black superheroes and black characters in this book get shoved to the side throughout, you really feel it throughout and feel that drive for what makes Black Lightning, Black Lightning. Alex:                 I cannot even imagine what it is like to read this book as a comic fan of color necessarily, obviously because I am white. But speaking as a white comic book reader, it is very hard to read from the perspective of Black Lightning looking at the other characters. And I don't know if you have this feeling, but I'm reading this and I'm like, “But Superman is not like that. That's not what Superman is like. That's not Batman.” I felt these walls kind of building in me of- Pete:                Whoa. Look at you, you felt attacked. Alex:                 … Well, not attacked. Attacked is absolutely the wrong word, but this feeling of trying to wrap your brain around how somebody else feels about these sort of things is hard to do, and that's I think part of the point of the book. Because by the end you do get Jefferson Pierce starting to understand a little bit more of the wider world, bring down some of those walls himself and accept these things while still understanding that his experience is ultimately going to be intrinsically different from a lot of other characters in this universe. Alex:                 So it really brings you in, in that way as well. And like you said, Pete, there are multiple times I got choked up, just almost hitched, like is the best word for it, when something just snuck up on you in the book, these moments of strong emotion throughout, which I was very surprised about. And then the other thing you were mentioning about the art, Justin, it feels almost Neal Adams-like to me without being exaggerated, which I thought was kind of neat. Justin:              Yeah, totally agree. It's a great book. And there I think there are what, four more issues? And this is coming up bimonthly, I want to say? Pete:                We can't wait. Alex:                 Yeah, I'm very curious. I haven't read ahead about it, but I'm very curious to see whether it follows Black Lightning story throughout, which would make sense. And it's essentially a Black Lightning book, or if it's going to switch perspectives in nature too. Justin:              I think it jumps around a little bit and touches on different characters. Another thing about this, the amount of continuity that is touched on here, and really owning it when it's like some of it is ridiculous, but really making it a part of this very real story I think is great. There's this Reagan pin with the Watchmen blood splatter on it, which I thought was very cool. Pete:                Yeah. Alex:                 Great book. Definitely pick this one up. Next up, Monstress: Talk Stories #1 from Image Comics, written by Marjorie Liu, illustrated by Sana Takeda. I'd admit I have not read Monstress in a while, even though I really enjoy this book. The art is consistently gorgeous. Plus it takes place at in a fantasy world with some half personas, I guess I would call them. Pete:                Yeah, nice. Alex:                 Yeah, absolutely. Pete:                Great use of that word, that just came up. That was really organic and natural. Alex:                 Thank you so much, Pete. I really appreciate it. Justin:              Tip of the tongue. Alex:                 In this book, we find a backstory on one of the characters. It's sweet, it's sad, it's harry. The character designs are great. I like this book quite a bit. What did you guys think? Justin:              I agree, I like this a lot. There's some fun cooking. The cooking is really used as a great moment in this story. And this reminded me, I mean, it's such a … When I was a kid, first, the sort of furry ears on a human head was in Super Mario Brothers 3. That was the first time I encountered that. And to know that, that's such a thing, I was like, “What an interesting thing.” And to know that such a thing in Manga and everything was a revelation. Alex:                 And now here we are, three guys sitting in our own Tanooki Suits recording a podcast. Pete:                Wow. Justin:              100%. Pete:                Yeah. Justin:              Metaphor. Pete:                Well, they bring up an interesting question. What's your favorite meal you've ever had? I mean, I think that's a great question to kind of put out there. And also I- Justin:              Yeah, I guess what garbage plate do you like the most? Pete:                … Also the art and the storytelling is really superb. It is very- Justin:              Art is great. Pete:                … complicated, kind of cool story that we're kind of thrown into here, and it's really cool. Alex:                 Let's move on and talk about Power Pack #1 from Marvel- Pete:                Okay, yeah. Very good. Alex:                 … written by Ryan North. Pete:                You can ignore my question, that's cool. Alex:                 Oh, you were asking about- Justin:              Favorite meal? Alex:                 … best meal we ever had? Pete:                Favorite meal you've ever had. Yeah. Alex:                 Favorite meal? Did you offer up your favorite meal or did Justin just say garbage plate and you're like, “Yeah, fuck you.”? Pete:                No, Justin just made a joke about garbage plates, but nobody's answered it yet. Alex:                 Oh, okay. Justin:              Do you want me to go? Alex:                 No, I can go. On my honeymoon, we went to- Justin:              Woohoo. Alex:                 … Yeah, on my honeymoon. We went to London and Paris. And particularly in Paris, we were like, “We're not going to look at any guidebooks, we're going to wing it. We're just going to like … We're not going to make any reservations, we're just going to wander around, we're going to find places.” And we consistently made the worst choices in terms of restaurants, just like absolutely … Just the tourist trap and just not good spots, and it was obvious- Pete:                The [inaudible 00:07:42] of Paris. Alex:                 … as soon as we sat there, we were like, “Oh, no, this is bad.” One of the last days- Justin:              I heard Paris TGI Friday's is actually one of the best ones. Alex:                 Yeah, they actually call it TGI Friday's. Justin:              Yeah, wow. Alex:                 I couldn't think of any other French words. Pete:                In other words, he wouldn't have done that. Alex:                 [inaudible 00:08:00] Friday's. Justin:              Yeah. Alex:                 Anyway, so yeah, we were having a great time, but eating not great food, which you would expect in Paris. And one of the last days, one of the things that we really liked to do was just get some lunch and sit down at the Lourve in the park outside, which is this beautiful park and just eat the lunch. And we stumbled across this place called Maison de la Truffe, which is a ridiculously expensive black truffle restaurant. Alex:                 And everything in there, insanely expensive. We could not afford to sit down and eat, but they had a to go thing outside. And the cheapest thing that they had was a baguette with some truffle butter and sausage on it, and then a tiny little thing of champagne, just like this big. Alex:                 And there was a sack of things which we called basically fancy combos, because they were essentially just little wafers with cheese inside. And we took those and sat at the Louvre, and had this meal, and it was the best meal I had in Paris hands down. But also one of the best meals I've ever had. Just everything was ridiculously delicious. There you go. Justin:              That's a great answer. I'm going to- Pete:                And you're still married to this day? Alex:                 No, we got divorced. That was my first wife. Pete:                Aw, my bad. Justin:              The French woman he married for lunch. Alex:                 Hey, people married for all sorts of reasons. Justin:              It's true. Alex:                 Lunch is- Justin:              Lunch is a good one. Alex:                 … Yeah. Justin:              Yeah. Your eyes are bigger than your stomach maritally. I'm going to give it up for my mom's taco dip. Very good. But just as- Alex:                 I'm also going to give it up for your mom's taco dip. Pete:                Oh my God, what just happened? Justin:              … Wow. Pete:                Oh my God. Justin:              But I'll go international as well as Alex. I was in Japan. I was traveling by myself, and I was hiking. I got off the Shinkansen bullet train right near Mount Fuji and just wandered around. It was January, it was very cold. I was not dressed appropriately. There was a guy who was selling some sort of soup at a stand, just like on this side road. Got that soup, ate it sitting on a rock, great meal. Alex:                 Nice. Pete:                Wow. Nice. Alex:                 Pete. Pete:                I'll share too a travel one, the regulation one. Justin:              Regulation. Pete:                There is this seafood place outside of Pawleys Island in South Carolina, and it's called Frank's. I don't think it's there any longer. And they named it Frank's because three chefs went in to create this restaurant, and one of the chefs name was Frank. And when it was time to sign the deal, this guy Frank completely disappeared and left them, but they started the restaurant anyway. Pete:                And they had this amazing blackened mahi mahi. And in the kind of bar area, where we were hanging out as a family, I played my dad for my dinner in this little ring game, it's like a giant ring attached to a fish line. And I won the game and I got to order anything I wanted off the menu. So it was pretty cool, and it was really delicious. I don't know if it was extra good because I won, but it was really quite good. Justin:              Yeah, I think the meal you had that day was victory. Pete:                Yes. But in Costa Rica, I had gone through a lot of crazy events where I was dating this person, or I wasn't dating, we were kind of there together on this trip. And then she got robbed, and then I went to go meet up with my other friends and we went on this kind of tour of the sanctuary, and these monkeys robbed this couple that I was with, and I had to … They were going to kind of pay for me for a little bit, because I was low on funds, I'd spent a lot of money early drinking. You know what that's like, Justin? Justin:              Yeah. Get the all inclusive. Pete:                Yeah. And so I was kind of just I had nothing to do, so I was just kind of walking around Costa Rica, and I stumbled across this place called the Sunset Hotel. And I walked around the corner, and there as the sun is setting is this Italian dude, and I was like … I walked around the corner and this guy goes, “Hey, how you doing?” and he made me a fresh pizza and it was phenomenal. Alex:                 Man, there were so many different places that story could have gone. I was not predicting the end of it. Justin:              Costa Rican pizza. Alex:                 There was a point where I thought maybe your thing was going to be you ate the monkeys for vengeance. Pete:                Oh, wow. Justin:              Yeah. Pete:                I'm not [crosstalk 00:12:53] Justin:              The meal you had that day was vengeance. Pete:                Yes. Alex:                 I think that reviews that comic book. Pete:                Yeah. Justin:              Definitely. Alex:                 Next step, Power Pack #1 from Marvel, written by Ryan North, art by Nico Leon. This is how you get to the much bladed outlawed event where all the teen heroes in the Marvel Universe are not allowed to practice superheroism. But it's also bring back together Power Pack for the first time in a while, in their new iterations. Alex:                 I do think very smartly they age them down quite a bit in this book. They've been aged up to be like, “We're cool teens, and some of us are adults and it's a little unclear.” Bring them back to basics while not ignoring the continuity is very smart. And this Ryan North is very funny, it's fun, it feels like a old Power Pack. It's better and winky throughout. I enjoy this book quite a bit, but I'm also definitely in the tank for it. What was your guys' takes? Pete:                My favorite part is, “We interrupt this broadcast of jazz for middle-class dinner parties to bring you breaking news.” That was really funny. Justin:              Ryan North is a funny writer, it's great to see him on this book. I put him in the same bucket as Mark Russell. As like anytime you see them on the book, it's consistently funny, which is hard. Alex:                 Yeah. Yes. Justin:              Sorry I interrupted you, Pete. You can finish your view. Alex:                 No, that was the only positive thing Pete wanted to say. Justin, what did you think about this one? Justin:              No, I loved it. It was great, super fun. Power Pack kids are fun, especially with the comedic angle. The art is very good. I'm curious how this outline event is going to play out. It does feel super disjointed. And it's sort of the same thing over and over again where these teen heroes suddenly are arrested, so I feel like this will be a fun version of it. Alex:                 Yes, I agree. Next step, The Department of Truth #3 from Image Comics, written by James Tynion IV, art by Martin Simmonds. This issue we're continuing to follow our conspiracy fighters, is I guess what we can call them. Basically conspiracy theories aren't real, but if you believe hard enough, they will become real. In this one, they're tackling gun control and crisis actors, and false flags and things like that. And man, it's very well done, very hard to read at points. But just like the main characters find it themselves, there's a lot of conflicting emotions that go on here, I think. Justin:              I love this book so much. I agree with you completely, Alex. And this issue especially, there's so much reality in this comic. And the hard part is I don't know how many people who read this know about all these conspiracy theories, and the insanity that is spun around them. This one I happen to know a lot about, because I worked on a show called The Opposition with Jordan Klepper, which was about this … Justin:              Jordan was playing this conspiracy-driven host, and so we dealt a lot in this world. And Alex Jones who this book is, this issue is sort of like drawing upon, who's like a very bad grifter person. We had to do so much paying attention to him as he descended into this madness. So this was especially, I was like reliving all of the actual news stories that were happening back like three, four years ago. Pete:                Yeah, this is really cool. It's very interesting. Artistically, it's really, really impressive what they're doing here with the different art styles meshing. It is a little tough to kind of understand what is happening a little bit. But I didn't appreciate the kind of like, “Oh, I took improv classes, so I'm good at lying,” I thought that was a little heartbreaking, but- Alex:                 Just to clarify what's happening is, probably as far as we can tell in real life, this woman's son was killed in a school shooting. Then this organization, Black Hat, which we don't know why, but it's a tease that we're going to find out a lot more next issue, is trying to make conspiracy theories come to life. Alex:                 They drop off a film that whether it's a fabricated or it's real or whatever it is that seems to convince this woman that not only is her son alive, but she may actually be an actor who was an improv actor, so the entire thing was faked, and it starts to change the reality around her. She doesn't know what's real and she doesn't know what's fake. And what I think it does really nicely emotionally, particularly through the art, as you mentioned, is it plays on this idea of this fractured psyche that I imagine you're going through when you deal with unimaginable tragedy like the death of a child. Pete:                Yeah. Justin:              Yeah. And the fact that the premise of the book that this group is able to manifest these conspiracy theories when she gets this flash drive with these facts, these alternative facts on them. This book is so smart, it's so current, it's just one of my favorites on the stands right now. Alex:                 What happens when a robotic overlord in prisons a rant god and a humble narcissist, you get this week sponsor of comic book club, The Just Been Revoked Podcast. Join Chris G., Tom legacy and Mr. Rhace, as they discuss the origins, the ends and everything in between of all things film. Episodes are released weekly on Apple, Spotify, and all other major podcast platforms. Alex:                 Looking for a film podcast that has fun and doesn't take things too seriously, then check them out at justbeenrevoked.com. Let's move on and talk about Dark Nights: Death Metal: The Multiverse Who Laughs #1 from DC Comics, written by Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Joshua Williamson, Patton Oswalt, Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti, Saladin Ahmed and Brandon Thomas. Art by Juan Gedeon, Chad Hardin, Scott Eaton and Thomas Mandrake. Alex:                 This is anthology that Robin King is telling, basically saying, “Blah, blah, blah. You've heard all of these dark versions of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman before. How about a couple of other dark multiverses? What would you think about that?” So we get to see three of them in this book. What did you think about this comic? Pete:                Well, it's a collection of stories. Some of them are a little better than others, but it's fun. It's like The Coming King and all that kind of stuff. I thought that it's interesting enough. It's definitely turning it up, like the Dark Metal stuff has been doing, so Death Metal stuff has been doing. I thought this was kind of a cool a book to put out as far as like, “Hey, we're going to kind of let some other writers do some stuff on this,” and yeah. Justin:              Yeah, it's a good mix. I really liked the first bit, the Scott Snyder sort of just bucket of random worlds where bad things happen to our favorite heroes. And the Patton Oswalt story I thought was great. Fun sort of Mr. Zsasz, right, is he villain here? And what it's like for him trying to be the cool villain in Arkham, and the consequences of that was. It was cool. Alex:                 This is definitely in my mind one of the lesser books in this event, everything else feels so necessary and interconnected. I love the idea of having else worlds that follow not the big three, that follow just more side stories, and I'd love to see more of that. But overall, I thought this comic book was fine. I think to your point, I liked the Robin King stuff. I thought Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner of course put together a fun story. But just so you know- Pete:                They usually do. Alex:                 What? They usually do. Pete:                They usually do. Alex:                 But it does not feel like something you'd necessarily need to read to understand the main act. Justin:              It's a little bit of the lighter side. Pete:                Yeah, it's just a fun- Alex:                 Yes, exactly. Pete:                … Yeah, it's a fun collection of ideas and stories- Justin:              It's like a little Dave Barry novel. Alex:                 Great. That's what I'd say as well. Nailbiter Returns #7 from Image Comics, written by Joshua Williamson, art by Mike Henderson. Here were literally getting into the beat of the issue as they delve further into Buckaroo, into this game that's being played by the new Buckaroo Butchers. And we get a bunch of psychedelic stuff, a trip to the past, some revelations, some promise of future revelations. I'm really enjoying what they did with this series, and it feels entirely different from what they did with the previous one. Justin:              Yeah. Pete:                Yeah, I agree. I think it's really creative, the art's fantastic. They do such a good job of pulling you into this world and kind of like with their storytelling, and I just was really impressed with this. It does a good enough job or moving the story enough where you know a little bit about what's happening to kind of follow along and not feel like, “I don't get it.” It walks that kind of crazy line really well. But man, just the art and the characters are just insane in all the right ways. The use of blood rain and then that skull who's just like puking blood on the pyramid is just insane. Justin:              Yeah, I love the sort of dream sequence aspect of this book, it feels so deliberate to become right now, sort of seeding out a bunch of wild ideas that then they can call upon going forward. The art's so good. I've been a huge fan of Birthright also by Joshua Williamson, and this feels like if you read that and haven't read Nailbiter, it's definitely worth getting in on Nailbiter. Pete:                Ah man, that's what I should've said for that lock and key question. Alex:                 On the live show? Pete:                Birthright would have been great. Yeah. Alex:                 Messed up, man. Messed up. Next step, this is what I put on the stack to make Pete feel a little bit better. Daredevil #24 from Marvel, written by Chip Zdarsky, pencils by Mike Hawthorne. Pete, you're not in your head. No. Do you not feel better after this comic book? Pete:                Well, this is a rough issue, man. I was so excited that we got Daredevil in our stack, but then of course it's a sad issue and I was like, “Oh, well, this is why his album put this in.” Alex:                 No, 100% not. Pete:                Foggy is fighting and- Alex:                 Foggy is bad at his job. What's different about the usual? It feels like pretty status quo for our man, Mr … Pete:                No, this is not status quo. Also there's too many people look like Daredevil. I don't know what the fuck- Alex:                 It's only one other than his twin. Pete:                … is going on. Alex:                 Sure. Daredevil is on trial for murder, something that he is willingly doing. We also get, which I thought was interesting and I want to get your beat on, a Kingpin shower scene in this issue. How did you feel about that? That's something fans have been asking for, for a long time. Pete:                A long time. Justin:              You got to truly see the Kingpin here. Pete:                Oh boy. I mean, they always do that in the comics with the well-placed steam or fog- Justin:              It's a little fancy. Alex:                 I do that in my shower. Pete:                … or whatever. I don't see any of the- Justin:              Yeah, in my shower, Foggy Nelson is standing in front of my genitals all the time. Pete:                That's smart. Alex:                 I thought this was really good and I loved where this ended up. Justin? Justin:              I agree. Chip Zdarsky is really bringing all of the Daredevil characters that sort of have the most emotional stakes here together. You've got your Typhoid Mary, your Kingpin. We don't see many other of Daredevil's love interests, but only because they're dead. But his current love interest, we see Elektra here, Foggy his, I guess, friend, frenemy in a lot of ways. Pete:                Fuck you. That's his friend [inaudible 00:24:52] Alex:                 I'm excited to see where this goes going forward, because it has the potential to really redefine the Marvel Universe. Justin:              How do you feel about Daredevil wearing a suit and his costume? Alex:                 That's pretty weird, right? Pete:                Yeah, that was weird, right? Alex:                 Just like when Nightwing wears a mask over his mask, and I'm like, “Choose one, buddy. It's fine.” Justin:              Unnecessary for both. The suit over the suit feels, in a very serious issue, it feels goofy. Pete:                Mm-hmm (affirmative). It does. Alex:                 Also, how much is he sweating? He's got to stink real bad. Pete:                Wow. Justin:              Yes. Pete:                Yeah. Well, I wonder if it's like a fake turtleneck situation where he doesn't have the full suit underneath. Justin:              Keep the suit, just that top part. Alex:                 I thought that, I thought he was just wearing the mask, but he's wearing the gloves as well. Pete:                Oh, wow. Alex:                 It's the full suit, man. Pete:                Yeah. Justin:              It's the full suit. Alex:                 Yeah, double suit. Pete:                Double suit is a lot. Justin:              Slow down on the suits. Alex:                 Undiscovered Country- Pete:                No double suit. Alex:                 … #10 from Image Comics, written by Scott Snyder and Charles Soule, art by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Leonardo Marcello Grassi. In this issue, we find out a whole lot more about UNITY, the second zone of America, as well as what happened to the past as things rapidly start to fall apart there. It was a pretty horrific reveal at the end of the issue. It makes a lot of sense. This is great. And I think we've been saying this a lot about this arc, but I finally feel kind of like I understand what's going out of this book and that makes me feel a lot better. Justin:              And it's interesting because I don't quite know … The story is just as complex. There's even more happening because our characters have split up a little bit. But what I think makes more sense is this arc is using more of like a metaphor in describing America. So I feel like that gives us a baseline to really understand how the different aspects are coming together. Alex:                 No, I mean, you're absolutely right. I didn't really think about it until you said it like that, but thinking about it was like, “What does Destiny, the first zone mean to me?” Well, join other men, ride on sharks. Versus here, the idea that everybody is joining together, finding unity through the shared belief in science. Yes, that works a lot better. It's a lot easier to hook into even if it's- Pete:                Yeah, but there's also giant whale sharks in here too. Alex:                 There's still giant whale sharks. Justin:              Yeah. That's what I'm saying, there's just as many crazy specifics- Alex:                 And also- Justin:              … but it's all under this one narrative line I feel like, it's a little cleaner. Pete:                Yeah, under one nation. I love the man-at-arms shout-out, a little He-Man love in there. That was just great. It was fun to see. Yeah, I do. With each issue, I become a little less confused, which is great. The art and the character designs are just phenomenal, great kind of like last page reveal. This continues to be a very interesting, very well done book. I'm just happy now that we're kind of getting a little bit more of a grasp on what's actually happening. Alex:                 I don't want to call you out, Pete, but I feel like you've been confused about every issue that we've talked about in The Stack this week. Was there any we talked about that you were not confused about? Pete:                Huh. Justin:              We should say you got hit on the head with an anvil right before you read The Stack, right? Alex:                 Right. Pete:                Oh, that's true. You think that affects? Justin:              You think that affects? Pete:                I wasn't affected by Chew. I was confused by Chew. Alex:                 Oh, okay. All right. Well, we'll get to that one in a moment then, that's good. An Unkindness of Ravens #3 from Boom! Studios, written by Dan Panosian and illustrated by Marianna Ignazzi. This is another one we're getting to kind of the meat of everything that's going on. We have a new kid- Pete:                You're really hungry. Alex:                 What? Pete:                You're really hungry. You keep talking about meat. Alex:                 Sweet, delicious, savory meat. Yeah. No, we're getting to the heart of the issue. How about that? Is that better? Justin:              I love eating hearts. Alex:                 There we go. Where we're finding out more [crosstalk 00:28:44] about this town that our main character has moved to, the warring factions, what's going on behind the scenes. I continue to really like this book. Justin:              I agree. I said this on the live show this week, but this feels like such a … If you're a fan of the Sabrina TV series on Netflix, which is not coming back for a little bit and you want something to fill the gap, this book is great. It also feels like a good, if you're a fan of Lock and Key, which we talk about a lot, this feels like a nice spiritual successor to that book. Justin:              It's just the characters are really fun, the art is great. There's this sense of dread hovering over everything. And I don't really know … It's hard to predict where their story's going. It's witchy in the right ways and sort of arty in the right ways as well. Pete:                Yeah. Art's great. It's really fun. It's kind of nice that we're getting into this world and what's going on. I think in a cool way that doesn't make me frustrated or confused about what's happening. But I think it's very cool with hinting at what happens and then the kind of reveal. The whole part where we're seeing these crows and then one is shot, and then we kind of get to see that. Really impressed with that. I think this is a very cool story. I'm excited to see how this is going to unfold, and whether or not it's going to be like a really great comic that will hold up, stands the test of time. Alex:                 Well see. Next up, Last God #10 from DC Comics, written and created, written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, art by Ricardo Federici. This issue, we find out some big revelations about what happened back in the day at the Black Stair. We find out more about what's happening in the present. And it looks like the bad things are coming for our heroes or maybe are already there. What did you think? Pete:                Yeah. I mean, this really starts off amazing. We got some great actions, some cool ass dragon shit. Justin:              Cool ass dragon shit. Pete:                And then there's a lot of talking, and then feelings and then stuff. But it starts off really good. I'm excited to see where this goes. I think this is a very creative cool book. Justin:              I like this book a lot. The art is so lush and just beautifully done. It feels like a classic fantasy story. You'd get like one little drawing on the cover or something. This feels like it's that full art and that same style for the whole story, which is great. And what I love about it it was really placed with the tropes of legacy and fantasy books where it's like the great heroes from the past, and now it's this generation's turn to fight. And this says, oh, maybe what if the first generation wasn't great, how does that influence everything? And it's just a smart take and a beautiful book. Alex:                 I agree. Next step, the books that did not confuse Pete. Chew #5 from Image Comics, written by John Layman and art by Dan Boultwood. This is the end of the first arc here as the two Chews are facing down, all of Saffron's crimes have been revealed. And things do not go necessarily how you might expect. Yes, Pete. Pete:                What's great is they picked up right where they left off last issue. This is not the worst than when you kind of build up to the standoff and then you cut away from it to have backstory or some shit. So this was really great- Alex:                 Was that you, Pete? Are the continuity police coming for you? Justin:              Yeah. Pete:                Yeah. Alex:                 Oh, shit. Book it. Justin:              Get out of [inaudible 00:32:20]. They're going to have a good questions that I think he might be confused about answering. Let me be honest. Alex:                 Oh, boy. Pete:                Yeah, I like this. This is great kind of standoff, brother, sister stuff. This is really cool. Art is fantastic. And it's nice because it still feels like in the two world- Alex:                 The Chew-universe. Pete:                … and it also feels a little different. Justin:              The Chew-universe. Good. Pete:                Yeah, the Chew-universe. Also, did you guys see the … It looked like a country monkey riding a smoking lizard walking by when she got out of jail? Alex:                 No, I missed that. Justin:              I think that was actually in your apartment beyond the edge of the comic book. Pete:                No, it's there. I had to double-check it. And also it looks like Sonic the Hedgehog was just shot outside the prison. It's really cool if you look at the background stuff. Justin:              RIP. Alex:                 Huh. Wow. Justin:              I like this book a lot. I was not a Chew reader of the original series, and this is … I'm not a Chewer. Pete:                Yeah, you weren't a Chew head. Justin:              I really like this though. It makes me want to go back and maybe read Chew, because this is very good, very fun. And I really like the character Saffron. The way that this story sort of positions the next move going forward, I think is great. Alex:                 I agree. Next up, we're going to get into it here. We're going to talk about our final X of Swords block as this big event. 22 part event is wrapped up here with three issues. Pete:                Can we … Alex:                 What Pete? Pete:                Can we just finish off this stack before we get into this giant argument here? Alex:                 Sure, we can jump ahead. I put the scumbag up last to space out the image comics, but let's talk about the Scumbag #2 by Image Comics, written by Rick Remender- Pete:                Okay, my bad. Alex:                 … art by Andrew Robinson. This is about the worst man of the world. He's the only one who could save the world. We find out more about him and his powers. He injected himself with some stuff so he can save the world here. This is very much positioning that there is no right way to go as we have a terrible guy, who needs to stop some potentially more terrible guys from doing some terrible stuff. It's just a fun book stuff. Just a fun book. Doing some light political commentary here. Justin:              Yes. Pete:                Yeah. Justin:              So good. Rick Remender- Pete:                Oh, go ahead. Justin:              … writes people who fuck up better than anybody. This feels like a great successor to Fear Agent, one of Rick's first books that we loved way back in the day. And the art by Andrew Robinson is so good, it's so sort of 1970s animated, influenced, it feels like to me. And I think it's just a fun book that has some real, like a lot of Remender's book, has some real commentary underneath, a bunch of jokes and characters just screwing up. Pete:                Yeah. It's a lot of fun. The art is like gross, but also light. It's really interesting the way they kind of walk this line of like you hate this guy, but you're also rooting for him. Yeah, I think it's very well done, very creative. Rick Remender does a fun balance of tripped out, but also not too tripped out, where you kind of feel like that's all it's doing. I'm just really impressed with … There's a lot going on in this comic. There's a lot being kind of dealt with, and it does it seamlessly in a way that's fun and moving the story forward, and it doesn't feel rushed. Yeah, I mean, I'm impressed with this book. I'm excited to see how Rick Remender is going to break our hearts with some of these characters, because he always does. And yeah, it will be fun to talk to him about this next week. Justin:              Yes. Alex:                 Yeah, there you go. All right. For real now, we're going to wrap up with our X of Swords block. X-Men #15 from Marvel, written by Jonathan Hickman and art by Mahmud Asrar. Excalibur #15 written by Tini Howard, art by Mahmud Asrar and Stefano Caselli. And finally, X of Swords or 10 of swords: Destruction #10, written by Jonathan Hickman and Tini Howard, art by Pepe Larraz. Alex:                 Now, before we talk about this, we should really talk about how hard everybody worked and how we never want to put down the amount of work that people put into it. They drew this, they wrote this, there were editors who we really like who worked on this, assistant editors, people who printed it, the staples were very nice in the book and somebody had to put them in there. Pete:                Yeah, this came together fast, and they got it all done on time. There wasn't any delays. It's pretty impressive what they put together. Alex:                 There you go. And that's our review of X of Swords. I like this event. I thought it was fun and good, and I love where it turned up. We talked about this before, but a lot of this was Saturnyne in the background, manipulating the situation to get into a place where she got almost everything that she wanted as we find out about the end. Alex:                 And the one thing that hitches me up a little bit is I don't care about Otherworld that much, just as comics continuity and comic book fan. So having everything pivot on that, brought it down emotionally for me a little bit versus having a pivot on the X-Men themselves. Alex:                 But I do like the moves they made here. I like where Apocalypse ended up. I thought the big battles were good. The art was phenomenal, just like huge, big battle scenes, enormous monsters. The scale of it was great, and just individual characterizations. Both Tini Howard and Jonathan Hickman write a great Ariana. I don't know who specifically was scripting her dialogue, but just super fun throughout this entire event. Just a really good event for her. And it's good stuff. Alex:                 I know Pete's going to disagree with this, but really good Cyclops stuff towards the end here. And I love the idea of holding Cyclops and Marvel Girl in reserve until the end and then be like, “No, fuck you. We're getting there. We're going to solve this problem.” And it really positions them in the place they should be at the lead of the X-Men. I enjoy this quite a bit. I don't think it was a perfect event by any means, but I had a lot of fun. I had a blast reading it. Justin, what did you think about it? Pete, we can get your haterade later in a second. Let's get adjusted first, a little more positive. Justin:              The hater goes later is what we've always said. I agree, I do like this event. Art across the board is great. But yeah, I mean, it's a weird event. It's so weird as the first big event to have it be so fantastical, have it be so sort of like goofy at points. I agree with you, the Cyclops and Jean Grey stuff, it really felt like their ascension at the end of this event is what's important here. Justin:              And to see them sort of outside of just the bureaucracy of the Quiet Council and maybe they can actually make some moves is exciting. Really establishing them as a family with Young Cable I think is very cool. Ariana also stepped up a lot. The Apocalypse fight, I don't know. I thought it was going to be a little bit more about Apocalypse and it felt like just a fight. Alex:                 Yeah, it was like, “What was that?” Justin:              I mean, we talked about this, we sort of predicted this, that, excuse me, Arakko would be coming through to Krakoa. And with it hundreds of mutans, I believe, from around- Alex:                 Millions, I think. Justin:              Millions? Alex:                 Millions. Justin:              Oh, wow. Alex:                 Yeah. Justin:              That's a lot of people hanging out on earth, which I think I'm curious how that will affect the continuity. It feels like a lot to add. A continuity that's already pretty wild. Alex:                 Well, I think the thing that, that adds, and maybe I'm wrong because who knows what is going on with the X-Men stuff? They can set up that Arakko is coming through and then not deal with it for 30 issues or something. But to me it feels like suddenly millions of mutants show up, you suddenly have a destabilized world situation that is already on the edge because of Krakoa. Alex:                 When you bring the mutant population up to potentially pre-Genosha levels, what does that do? What nations does that put on alert? And that puts the mutant state in a really, really bad place. As for Apocalypse, the thing that I did like is it ultimately got to this place, even though I feel like we didn't get enough fleshed out about the annihilation helmet, the idea that ultimately Apocalypse; A, is fundamentally changed by Krakoa enough that he can surrender, but also that it is Apocalypse's will that manages to win the day felt like a smart decision. Even if it wasn't maybe an action-wise satisfying decision. Pete, I know you're a champion of the bid here. Go ahead. Pete:                Okay. Yeah, please. All right. Explain this to me, okay? They had, “You got to get your sword, you got to get to the fight.” Okay? So then we learned that none of that matters because it's about this helmet that speaks to you and makes you annihilate everything. But once Apocalypse puts on the helmet, he realizes that he's not going to let a helmet control him, so he'll take a knee and then that solves everything. And then, oh, Apocalypse you won, and okay, I'm going to banish a whole Island of people. Great. Pete:                And then Scott Summers and Marvel Girl, who started this kind of whole thing with a bunch of weird meetings through time, decided this whole island that they helped create doesn't matter and fuck all you all because I got to go save my son, which I understand, that's cool, but they had like a whole Quiet Council meeting and it didn't matter. So it was kind of like this- Justin:              But- Pete:                … whole thing that we're trying to do, they threw it all- Justin:              If- Pete:                … out the window. Hey, I'm trying to finish here. Justin:              If Wolverine did that you would have loved, and just because it's Scott, you don't like it. Pete:                That's a bullshit thing to thing. Justin:              It's 100% true. Pete:                No, it's not. Justin:              Wolverine does that every time. Pete:                I'm trying to wrap my head around this whole detour of the X-Men world that we just took and why we did it, and the only thing I can come up with is giant alligators and dragons are cool, and fighting with swords would have been cool, but it didn't happen. We got drinking games and playing softball. And people will say that they will get married at the drop of a hat in the X-Men world. Alex:                 The Cyclops thing I do think a lot of this is about … A lot of this story so far has been about the X-Men … And we're not supposed to call them the X-Men, the mutants. They specifically state that in the book. They're like, “The mutants-“ Justin:              There's a whole big paragraph. Alex:                 There's several of that. I know. Pete:                Yeah, I don't read the paragraphs. Alex:                 You should read the paragraphs, they're kind of important. The mutants have made this big move to become one mutant state. And from the writing perspective, I think what they've done is how much stress can we put on that? How many things can we do to fracture that? And Saturnyne says by the end, “Two people have left the Quiet Council. They're going to have to replace it, it's going to be the non-ideal picks.” Alex:                 And now, not just Scott Summers is leaving with a small team to go save everybody, but everybody comes with him, which means, yes, it's the mutants united, but it also means as it states in those paragraphs, which I do think are really important. They've tried to ditch the X-Men name because it's something that's pre-Krakoa. It's an idea of like, it's a moniker taken by Charles Xavier. It's not an example of- Pete:                The Lollipop Man. Alex:                 Yes, Lollipop Man. It's not an example of the United Krarkoa State, but the fact that Scott Summers is reclaiming this and then everybody's like, “Yes, we're X-Men. Let's go. It's go time,” creates this friction there that's only going to get bigger. Once you suddenly have billions of mutants who have been slaves up to this point, who we've never met before suddenly showing up, so it means bad things for the outside world. It also means bad things for Krakoa and Arakko. And dramatically, that's a really good place to be putting everybody. Justin:              Yeah, I agree with that. This crossover feels a lot like Chris Claremont-esque. Like mid-Chris- Alex:                 I mean- Justin:              … Claremont run, where it's like epic stuff that involves things that are sort of far flung from actual X-Men and mutant world stuff. Like getting with Lilandra and all that stuff, where it's like continuity heavy, where it's like, “Wait, what was that about that?” I feel like this will hold a similar place to a lot of that Claremont stuff, especially the other worldness of it, which I agree with you, I don't love all that. Justin:              And this whole like captain … I know Excalibur was the second to last issue so that they'll have an outsize effect on it. But the Captain Britain Corp and all that, I was like, “I don't … ” This feels like such a side quest that so much of this event landing on that felt like, “Oh, I don't know about that.” Pete:                It was just a lot just so Cyclops could have a Jerry Maguire moment of like, “Who's coming with me? Who's coming with me?” Alex:                 What did you think about the part where Cyclops said, “Show me the money,” though? That was pretty cool. Pete:                Yeah, that was touching. It was sort of touching. Alex:                 Yeah. Justin:              And what about Wolverine played by Jonathan Lipnicki? I know. Pete:                Too tall. Justin:              He's too tall? He's very short. Pete:                I don't know about Jonathan Lipnicki so- Justin:              He's tiny. Alex:                 You just referenced Jerry Maguire. Justin:              He's the kid. Alex:                 He's the little kid that said, “Did you know the human head weighs eight pounds?” Pete:                Oh, he's the kids with the spiked hair? Alex:                 Yeah. Pete:                Oh, that's great. Yeah, he's a great [inaudible 00:46:41] Alex:                 Okay. What would you think about Renee Zellweger playing Jonathan Lipnicki, is what it was? Justin:              Renee playing Jonathan Lipnicki? Alex:                 Yeah. Justin:              Oh, interesting. Alex:                 Playing Wolverine. Justin:              Oh, wow. That's great. Alex:                 With the little lemon face. Justin:              Ooh yeah, just a pursed lip. Alex:                 She got the little lip. Suck on a lemon. Justin:              I'm the best there is at what I do, and what I do is this little face. She's a good actress. Yeah. Pete:                I don't know what you guys are doing. Alex:                 All right, that is it for The Stack. If you'd like to support the show and other shows we do at patreon.coms- Pete:                Wait. Alex:                 … What? Pete:                Do you guys think this whole thing was worth it for that ending? You guys didn't feel let down at all by the fact of like this fight wasn't a fight, it was just a, “Can we make Apocalypse kneel? And then having Cyclops just ditch everyone because he wanted to go somewhere else.”? Justin:              I liked it. Alex:                 Yeah, I liked it too. I think there were enough big moments particularly in these last couple of issues that I really just enjoyed from an artistic, from a big action perspective, literally using the S.W.O.R.D. Space Station as a sword to pierce a wormhole and attack these evil armies. Just the huge armies attacking everybody, the X-Men jumping through directly at the screen, the fairy soldiers or whatever it was jumping through. Justin:              The screen? Alex:                 Good stuff. Just a lot of people coming from the sky and heading straight towards camera was a lot of fun. Justin:              Yes, and it's surprising. A lot of Hickman big storytelling, you can't predict it. It's sometimes a little weird and wooly, but it's like in the end, it's really well thought out and smart, and very difficult to predict, which I like in storytelling in general, especially comic book storytelling. Alex:                 It's also something that relatively speaking felt like a complete story, which I don't think we've gotten in a really long time with events. It's usually by the latter half, it's all about setting up what's next. And certainly we get a fair amount of setup, but this started with the story of Otherworld, ended with the story of Otherworld, and that's what it was in between. It went on a bunch of side trips, but ultimately it all came together that way, and that is pleasing to me from a story perspective. Justin:              It was pleasing, we say. Alex:                 It was pleasing to be … If you'd like to support the show at patreon.com/comicbookclub. We also do a live show every Tuesday night at 7:00 PM. Podcast ahead on YouTube. We would love to talk to you about X of Swords, that's going to be our big topic of conversation. Over the next I would say- Pete:                It's 10 of swords, but there's going to be no fighting. Oh, you're going to love it. It's going to be smart. Alex:                 … There is a bunch of fighting. Pete:                There's going to be a lady who- Alex:                 Wolverine cutting a man's arm off. Really? Pete:                … you get confused with the ice queen the whole time. But then it's not her, even though it looks exactly like her, but ah, it's going to be great. Alex:                 Oh, I'm sorry. Are you being racist towards white, blonde women, Pete? Pete:                Yes, Karen. I am.

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:                Do we? Alex:                 And we're going to kick it off … I think this is a big deal. This isn't normally the sort of thing that we would kick off the show with. Usually it's some Marvel or DC book or whatever, I mean, who even cares? Justin:              Okay, weird voice. Alex:                 Weird way to put it. But we're going to talk about The Scumbag number one from Image Comics written by Rick Remender, art by Lewis LaRosa. The reason I think that should go first is a new Rick Remender book is a big deal. We've been following his writing pretty much since the beginning and every book out is an event, so it's worth putting this right upfront at the top of the show. Reading this book I know this is something that Pete just loves a ton. He's very into, he's very excited about. The concept of the book though, before we get into Pete's feelings about it, I can see his head already nodding, yes, yes, give me more. Justin:              Yes, yes, I love this. Alex:                 Is what if the worst person in the world was responsible for the fate of the world. That's essentially what it is to the point where they essentially say that line at the end of the book. And in fact we do meet the worst person in the world who ends up in the situation. Pete:                That's the thing, they say the worst person in the world, it's just like kind of a slacker druggie guy. It's not like he's a fucking head of the KKK or fucking, you know what I mean? A murderer. He's like- Justin:              Yeah. I guess it's more, to say the worst, I understand what you're saying, but definitely the most down and out. Pete:                Right. But what- Justin:              He has full on diarrhea. Pete:                Sure. Yeah. Who doesn't? The thing is it's like brand new Rick Remender book. You ready to get your fucking heartbroken. This guy writes in such a way that pulls you in, gets you sucked into this amazing world, and then always breaks your fucking heart. I'm scared. I'm scared about this book. Justin:              But that's what I love, what I love about Rick Remender books. And it has been a long time since he launched a new one. We've been reading Low. We've been reading Black Science for a long time. And those books are- Alex:                 Deadly Class. Justin:              Deadly Class of course ongoing. Pete:                Yeah, Deadly Class. Justin:              But these other books are sort of wrapping up. Deadly Class feels like it's going to keep going for a bit longer. And to have a new book is sort of precious. And what I love about it is he takes extreme premises and pushes them. And what he always does is on the art side brings in truly evocative artists. And in this case, it is the same thing. When he says it's the worst person in the world, we see it in like, I would call this hyper realistic color and line. And it's great. It's great. It's really smart of him to not shy away from these truly disgusting things, if the point of the book is this person is at his lowest and he has to become a world changing person. Alex:                 Or maybe it won't, I don't know. Justin:              Yeah. Pete:                Starting a book with a Charles Bukowski quote is just a fantastic way to start something that's this kind of mayhem, or it's just about a drunken dude who does a lot of drugs and shit, that's the perfect thing. But man, just seeing a guy doing drugs and shitting on the streets really makes me miss New York city, you know what I mean? Like back in the eighties and nineties, the real New York, you know what I'm talking about? Justin:              Yeah, you were the mayor of New York in the mid eighties. Pete:                Oh yeah, man. Just love doing drugs in the street, shitting anywhere you wanted, those were the days. Justin:              You were a very controversial mayor [crosstalk 00:03:59]. Alex:                 Yeah. Before Giuliani took it all away. I mean, come on. Where's that guy now? What's he doing? Justin:              Yeah, it is great. It is truly crazy to think of a time when everyone was like Giuliani, what a hero. And now truly, and not to get … it's not at all political, but he is looked upon as a legit Nosferatu style monster. There are so many Twitter memes of him being like, “Look, his hands dead.” Or look, here's [crosstalk 00:04:28]. Alex:                 He's such a sad sack. That's the thing that's such a bummer about it, is he went from I'm the guy that's going to clean up New York, this is very controversial too. He did some sort of figures like, I'm going to reveal information and he taped a video, and he opens up this folder and there's nothing in the folder. And he's just like, “Well, there's evidence that I have here,” and there's nothing in there, it's just sad. That's not the point of this book, let's get back to The Scumbag thing. The thing about- Justin:              Wait, let me just say one more thing on that. I do think this book spins out of the era we're in. I think it's about a person who is not ready to be elevated to a position of power who is in that position of power, which I feel like is it common on our time both Trump in and everything around our current political situation where it's like, oh, these people shouldn't be in charge of stuff like this. This book feels very timely to me. Alex:                 I agree. The thing that I wanted to get back to you though, that Pete was saying about the worst person in the world is it's not racist, murderer or anything like that. It's nails on chalkboard worst, which I think they make pretty clear through the writing, where it's the sort of guy who within seconds of meeting him you're like, “Oh God, fuck this guy. This is the worst. Oh God, no.” Pete:                The guy at the party's looking to steal beers that aren't being looked at. You know what I mean, like oh. Alex:                 That's great. The specificity going on there is so clear to the point where it builds to very graphicallY as we were talking about him shitting himself on the street, which is horrifying and gross. And mind you, not the first time Rick Remender has written a person on drugs diarrhea scene, that was way back in Deadly Class. Classic scene in deadly class. Pete:                Classic, he loves a good shitting story, you know what I mean? Alex:                 Yeah. Justin:              Let me throw this out as well to go back into early Remender, this book sort of reminds me a little bit of Fear Agent, and then it is a person who is super down and out having to maybe elevate themselves. Alex:                 What I'm really interested in is reading the second issue of this book, because if Rick Remender has showed us anything, it's he always has a very clear concept in the first issue that he blows it and save the out of proportion by the second issue. And I don't know how they're going to do that yet, but I'm excited to find out. Justin:              A 100% true. Alex:                 Yeah. But great to view. Justin:              Great to view. Pete:                It's fun to see a new book that he's working on. I'm very excited to see where this goes. Yeah, crazy first issue, fantastic art, definitely check it out. Alex:                 Moving on to Fantastic Four number 25 from Marvel written by Dan Slott with art by R.B. Silver, Paco Medina and Will Robson. This I believe is the beginning of the status quo change that Dan teased back when he was on the live show with us chatting about this book. This is kind of a big deal. There's a lot of stuff that goes down in this book as we celebrate this mini anniversary of the Fantastic Four. What'd you think about the issue? Pete:                46 pages. This to me is a great Fantastic Four story. You get this kind of shit goes down, only the Fantastic Four can save the day. Then what's nice about it is you've got Reed and Sue talking a little bit about the holes in their marriage about how they lied to each other a little bit. I'm hoping that moving forward, their relationship can get a little bit better because I'm sick of the classic, Sue Storm does so much more for the family than Reed does, and he's just constantly busy and can't be bothered. I think this was a really cool story, great use to the whole family. I'm very excited, even cool Watcher stuff, which you don't normally kind of get. Alex:                 Oh, no, people are always like, “That Watcher is very cool.” Pete:                No, but like also, just this whole thing of like, we're the Watcher and we've watched all these amazing events happen in Marvel whether it's through comics or TV or movies, but just these splash pages like, oh yeah, I remember that. Oh, that was cool. Hey, cosmic Ghost Rider got a shout out. Justin:              Well, see, I would take some issue with your statement Pete, because I think what Dan Slott is so great at and why he's such a great match for the Fantastic Four, is his whole thing is everything old is new again, or everything new is old again, either way [crosstalk 00:09:10]. Pete:                Which one us it? Justin:              It's sort of both, because what he does here is he's like, “Yes, Reed and Sue aren't getting along because Reed has a secret from Sue.” But what's great about this issue is Sue also has a secret from Reed, and she has her own life and she's doing her own thing. And so they get to meet on equal ground. Pete:                Great. Justin:              The thing is it's [inaudible 00:09:30] time. I'm going to be a wreck and shit, but then he's like, “Oh, I have actually a family at home I have to get back to at the same time.” Doctor Doom is still a villain, but he's actually the Doctor Doom, is the Doctor Doom read Richard's relationship from the very beginning of the comic where they're contemporaries. And even though they are wildly super-powered and they're meeting here as like, “Oh, you were keeping a little secret from me.” He's like, “Oh, well, yeah I was, figure it out.” And they're like, “Well, let's figure it out together.” It's just Dan Slott is just a tactician when it comes to picking a part with a fine tweezers, these Marvel legends and finding a new way to reconfigure the stories by just slightly tweaking little bits and pieces. Pete:                I did want to, while we're talking about Doom, Doom is one of my favorite villains and Dan Slott did a great job of the way Doom just acknowledges the fact that Sue Storm was in the room before she revealed herself was such a bad-ass Doom moment. Dan Slott is just killing it on this book. Alex:                 Yeah. This is a really fun issue, like you're talking about, bunch of fun teases for the future, a new setup of new status quo for the team, as well as certain members of the team, as well as the Watcher and other things, just a great package. I had a blast reading this issue. Moving on to Chilling- Justin:              Justin loves good packages. Alex:                 Moving onto Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Presents Madam Satan number one from Archie Comics story by Eliot Rahal, art by Julius Ohta. We talked about this on the live show a little bit, but this exists in a weird mix of continuity between the comic books and the TV show, not necessarily contradicting either, but not existing like this is between season one and season two of Sabrina, or part one and part two or part three and part four or anything like that. It just kind of is an about Madam Satan. The real standout of this issue to me is Julius Ohta's art, which does a great job of channeling Robert Hack from the original series, but finding a different way around it. What'd you think Pete? Pete:                Yeah. I mean, because when you think about it, the only person who would want to be a principal at a high school is somebody who is in hell, you know what I mean? Someone who wants to bring hell to the people. So to me, this made a lot of sense like, “Oh yeah, the queen of hell would love to be a principal at a high school. That's the perfect job for them.” And this is a real fun kind of set up. Madam Satan is glorious in the Sabrina TV show. And it's nice to see this character kind of thrive in this comic as well. Justin:              This does a good job of being sort of the TV show, but hearkening back to the comics, it originally inspired what went on to become the Sabrina TV show, like the afterlife with Archie and the Sabrina comic that Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa then developed into the show. It's great. And to your point, Alex, the art is just amazing throughout. Alex:                 Good stuff. Very impressive. Next step, Iron Man number two from Marvel written by Christopher Cantwell, art by Cafu. When we talked about the first issue of this book, I think we were pleasantly surprised by the change in direction here as Iron Man is going back to basics. Here we get a little bit more on that, veering on the side of he cut us a death wish a little bit, or at least injure himself, which as he's trying to move back to be a hero. But I got to say, I'm loving this take. I just think it's so refreshing to see a Tony Stark who is just being a hero and going on fights and fighting people and being a human being for a change. It's great. Justin:              I agree. This felt like a comic that I would have read back when I was in high school. It is just iron man dealing with shit. Of course he's fighting Absorbing Man. The ultimate early run of a series villain is Absorbing Man. And I love the guest stars throughout and Ironman just sacrificing himself, like Cardiac shows up, another, it's a Spider-Man villain technically who is just sort of Iron Manny in a lot of ways. And this felt like just some good classic fun. Pete:                Yeah. It was fun to see Hellcat. Yeah, it's all right, it's okay. Justin:              Pete, you do not like in Iron Man? Pete:                No. I mean, this comic has gone through so much stuff and it's just crazy. Like, okay, great, it's back to Tony Stark, but I don't know, cool. Alex:                 Well, what do you want it to be then? Pete:                I want, it was just weird because it's like, oh, Tony Stark's not Iron Man anymore. Okay, cool. And there was this really cool character who's trying to take on the mantle, but then was like, “No, we're going to go back to Tony Stark.” And then it's like, “Okay, but why?” And then it's just like, “Oh, it's back to basic Tony Stark.” Alex:                 So you're upset that it's not Riri is what you're saying. Pete:                I liked Riri. I liked the possibility of new stories. I just think that Iron Man has done a lot of amazing things, so let's see something amazing. You know what I mean? Let's see why we're seeing Iron Man again instead of something new. Alex:                 All right. Fair enough. Next up, Stillwater number two from Image Comics written by Chip Zdarsky, art by Ramon K. Perez. We talked about the first issue of this as well, liked it quite a bit. A guy goes on a road trip, ends up in a town where nobody ever dies. His friend gets killed outside the town, and it turns out at the end of the first issue that he may actually be a natural born resident of the village. We find out many more F'd up things about the town in this issue. What did you think about this? And also given that it drew some comparisons to Revival- Pete:                Controversial. Alex:                 Controversial comparisons to Revival the Tim Seeley series that had kind of a similar premise, at least at the start. Do you feel like it's veering off enough at this point? Justin:              It's totally quite different, I would say. I don't want to get into like, is it wrong to have a book this close premise wise? Because I enjoyed reading this, the first and second issue. It feels like at the end of this issue, we're setting up sort of what the deal is going to be. This guy is the third person who's been invited into the town. Clearly we're going to meet these other two people and what that means, his relationship to his mother and how the town works. All of that is fun. I'm excited to get into that. Revival felt like very different tonally. It was about people who with established relationships and how they were sort of dealing with this new status quo. I think to me it's different enough to exist separately. Alex:                 Also they feel like different types of horror, right? As Tim Seeley is very good at, it's a little more slasher horror, it's a little more graphic horror, a little more fun horror. This is more aligned with The Wicker Man I think that sort of, or mid summer, that sort of thing. Justin:              Oh, that's a good comparison, yes. Alex:                 So yeah, I agree. I do think they're different. There's certainly a danger there that they're going to weave together too much. But right now I think they can both exist and that's okay. Pete:                I would just like to say, as someone who's lived in a big city for a really long time, this is why I don't like the small towns, they scare the shit out of me. I love this thing of playing with the creepiness of a small town and all these people know each other and you're the outsider kind of coming in. I think that's a great idea to start a story. And I think sometimes when writers are … we're all pulling from the same pool. Sometimes ideas might overlap. You'd like to give somebody the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully it's not a rip off. But I do not know. Pete:                But as far as this is concerned, the little kid in the beginning was so fucking creepy with that wolf, I was scared shitless, and I'm interested to see where this goes. And it's really fun this idea of if people can die, then yeah, people would just kind of like loosey goosey shoot each other because there's going to be no damage. Justin:              Loosey goosey. Pete:                But it is kind of crazy right now to see a cop fucking just shooting first, and then talking later, it's kind of a hits and not fun chord right now. Justin:              Yeah. It's not crazy to see that, it happens a lot in this world. Pete, real quick, when you said you're scared shitless, could you give us just a sort of scale, a power ranking on the different types of scared you are, just so I know what you mean when you say that. Pete:                Well, they're scared like, oh, my stomach hurts a little bit, you know what I mean? And then there's like- Justin:              Your stomach hurts a little. Pete:                Yeah. And then there's like- Justin:              Like I ate too much candy. Pete:                Yeah. You got like- Justin:              So like you're scared candy. Let's call it that. Pete:                Okay. Yeah. And then scared shitless is like you're in real trouble. Alex:                 Oh, so there's two parts to the scale? Pete:                Yeah. Justin:              Interesting. Alex:                 [crosstalk 00:18:58] and then I have no shit in me whatsoever. Pete:                Yeah, let's skip the [crosstalk 00:19:03]. Justin:              Let me just also ask, quick follow-Up on that. When you say you're scared shitless, that means you've shit everything out. You're fully [crosstalk 00:19:09]. Pete:                Yeah, empty on the streets side. Justin:              You're on the streets comeback style diarrhea. Pete:                Right. Justin:              Or is it, are you full of shit and you just can't get it out? Pete:                No, no. Yeah, you're the scumbag of the street who's empty [crosstalk 00:19:23]. Alex:                 But you're 100% clean at this point. You're just- Pete:                Yeah. I'm an empty vessel. Alex:                 You're an empty vessel. Justin:              So you read this comic and you fully just rooster tailed yourself. Pete:                Yeah, exactly. Justin:              While you're reading it. I got you. Okay, great. Alex:                 [crosstalk 00:19:39]. I've been going back to doing the transcripts of the episodes and I- Justin:              Don't do that- Alex:                 [crosstalk 00:19:44], so I'll try to pull our quotes from each of the episodes and put it out there. The hope of getting maybe some pull quotes or something like that on a book. I think we could say Stillwater, it'll clear the shit out of you. Justin:              Yeah, you'll go full rooster tail. Pete:                Pull your own quotes Zalbs. Justin:              You go full rooster tail for this book. Alex:                 Batman 101 from DC Comics written by James Tynion IV, art by Guillem March. This is following right up on the Joker war as Batman grapples with the knowledge that Joker might've been right. And he has to in fact change, he's got to up his game. Justin:              Game. Pete:                Game. Alex:                 As he talks to Catwoman about it. Pete, I'm sure you have some feelings about this because spoiler, Catwoman and Batman decide to be on a break for a year. What'd you think about that? Pete:                Yeah. I mean, I liked the kiss. I thought the kiss gave us hope. But the old taking a break is just, it's a heartbreaking, don't a break guys, say yes to love. Justin:              Don't take a break. Pete:                Don't take a break from love. Justin:              Friends, in the TV show Friends, famous romantic comedy. Alex:                 We were on a break. Pete:                Yeah. Justin:              Alex, let me ask you, are you hyping up that phrase or are you doing a Ross impression? Alex:                 I think I'm doing- Pete:                Ross, it was Ross. Alex:                 No. Yeah, I mean I'm doing Ross, but I think it's one of the characters from Seinfeld being like Jerry. Justin:              You mean Jerry Seinfeld. Alex:                 Yeah. No, I think Jerry [crosstalk 00:21:19]. Jerry Seinfeld says like, “Jerry.” He's like a poker bot. Jerry. Justin:              It's hard for me to tell what you're talking about. I love Guillem March's art. Alex:                 Yes. Justin:              And especially in issues focusing on not just Batman, but the bat family, always great to see. I will say, and this is being picky, but Grifter still doesn't sit with me. Alex:                 What's deal is that? Pete:                You don't like a billowy mask? Justin:              I'm fine with the billowy mask. I mean I wear a cloth mask for when I go out and it does hang a little low in a Grifter. Alex:                 Can I, not to interrupt your flow here, but when you're wearing that mask out, do you take it and then pull it up to your forehead? Justin:              Yes, a 100%. Alex:                 Okay. Justin:              And it really, it blows with little wrinkles in it just like Grifters does. No, it's just something like I still, the Wildstorm universe of it all. I'm just like, “This guy doesn't quite fit with these characters to me.” Alex:                 I do, I agree with you on Grifter, never quite got him, don't like the mask. But I do like what James Tynion is setting up here with Batman vs Grifter, and this greater mystery of who Grifter works for. That seems like that's something that potentially is going to tie in going further forward, and that's a fun place for it to go. Batman versus the Wildstorm universe, great, all in on that. Justin:              Also wildcats. Pete:                Old school, that Clownhunter got a shout out in this book. Alex:                 You love that guy. [crosstalk 00:23:02]. Justin:              Alex, we talked about this on the live show, but as someone who's married to a clown, are you worried? Alex:                 Definitely. We added an extra lock to the door, because my wife has been doing that thing where she pulls the bed sheets up to her neck and says, “Oh, I'm scare, scare, scare, scared.” Justin:              Yes. Because as you know, your wife is modeled on Charlie's grandparents and [inaudible 00:23:27]. Alex:                 Yes, exactly. We sleep with another couple in our bed. All right. Black Magick number 15 from Image Comics written by Greg Rucka and art by Nicholas Scott. Oh, it's a great issue every single time. Here we're getting the fallout of the last couple of the issues as our main character deals with her new burgeoning relationship with a fellow cop. While in the background, I think for the first time we see hell or something like that. Justin:              Yeah. She's getting crazy in the background. Alex:                 Yes. Justin:              This comic was very sort of austere for so long about the witchyness of this of it. And now we're fully in witch world, which I love. Pete:                A lot of pointy kind of pyramid looking things in that aisle. Alex:                 Great. Thank you, Pete. We'll use that one for the pull quote for this issue. Nicholas Scott art as usual is the hero here. It's just absolutely gorgeous. But I love the sort of almost taking a break issue in a way, there's been so much harrowing, terrifying stuff. Every issue to take some time here and really deal with the relationships, the characters, if I was really nice. Justin:              Yeah, I agree. And the art, it feels like it gets better. There's just something about, it's so detailed, but it keeps getting, I guess maybe cleaner is the right word. It's great. How do you feel about the French computer? You don't see French computers very often- Alex:                 No, not usually. Justin:              … except in France. Alex:                 No. Even in France, they still use English. Everybody's like, “I can not read this.” Pete:                I mean, I'm a little disappointed that she's not listening to her cat more. If you have a magical cat, I feel like you should pay attention and listen to it, especially when it knows more things than you. And that's always frustrating when a character isn't listening to people they should be listening to. Justin:              As a new cat owner, Pete, is your cat magical? And if so, what is that cat saying to you? Pete:                Well, I'll tell you what, she does have one of those mystical eye things like the Prince album over her left eye, which kind of freaks me out. And I do think that cats can see into different realms and stuff. So yeah, the cat freaks me the fuck out. Justin:              Nice. That sounds like a nightmare to deal with every day. Every day you wake up and you're like, you look at your cat and you're rooster tailing, because you're scared shitless. Pete:                That's right. That's how I start my day. Justin:              Wow. Alex:                 God. From day to night, let's talk about Werewolf by Night, number one for Marvel Comics written by Taboo and B. Earl, art by Scot Eaton. Pete:                Oh, king of the transition. Alex:                 Here is another character that I'd never quite gotten just based on the name. And they try very hard to explain it to this book, by the idea of like, I'm a werewolf, but by night. It's like, “Well, most werewolves are by night, I think.” Justin:              But I take it the other way, I think the name is sort of saying, “Not just a werewolf where it's once a month, that's a werewolf by all nights.” Because if the character was named like werewolf normal, werewolf monthly, that's less fun. Alex:                 It does come out monthly, so there is that. But on the other hand, he turns back into a human in this very first issue where he's like, “I'm a werewolf by night.” Well, I'm a human, it's still nighttime.” Justin:              I say a lot I'm a human by night. And they're like, “What do you mean?” Alex:                 I thought this book was okay. It was honestly frustrating to be that the part that was fun and exciting was the last page of the book, that to me without getting spoilers unless we want to, that to me felt like, okay, this is the part you needed to put at the front of the book instead of all the setup that I didn't necessarily care about personally. Justin:              Well, let me say, I like this I guess more than you it seems, because it feels like it's a Marvel Comics book, but it feels like this could be an Image Comics book. It establishes a world around this character that isn't relying on other superhero, other Marvel universe things. And I like the characters a lot. And we talked about this on the show with Colin Bond and whatnot, the horror infiltration into superhero comics I've been really enjoying. Pete:                Yeah. I mean, I thought the reveal was fun, but I thought the more fun was with the granny pressuring those two to start a family, I thought that was really fun. Justin:              Your favorite part of this comic was the grandmother pressing them to have children? Pete:                Yeah. Come on, mommy's a werewolf, fuck it. But I think that also this was like- Alex:                 How's your relationship going, Pete? Pete:                Good man. It's going good. Thanks for asking. Alex:                 Welcome. Pete:                But I think that this book is kind of over the top, whatever. I just thought the kind of the real down to earth moments were kind of nice. And also you never know, man, the guy who cleans the toilets could be a werewolf, the person who collects the recycling, it could be a mummy. You got to be nice to people, because you don't know what their superpower is. Justin:              I think that every day. I'm like this- Alex:                 It would make sense if they switch jobs, honestly. Because I feel like the mummy could just take some of that wrapping and refill the toilet paper rolls. Pete:                Oh, wow. Alex:                 Yeah. Justin:              Honestly, every time I … whenever I go out in New York city, I'm always like, “Are you a mummy?” Alex:                 Let's move on and talk about Big Girls number three from Image Comic story, and art by Jason Howard. I think we've got back and forth a little bit about these issues. Generally, Jason Howard's art is great. This takes place in a world where large women and large men are fighting. The men are monsters, are they? And the women are not monsters, or are they? And they're fighting and the ruins left to the world. Find out a lot more about it, this issue that really mixes things up. I thought an interesting way, definitely confuses the metaphor perhaps a little bit, but certainly makes the story that we're following more fascinating. What did you guys take away from it? Pete:                Oh, go ahead. Justin:              You go. Pete:                I completely agree. I'm very happy with this kind of new development in this issue where the men aren't just total D bags. I kind of like the reveal in this issue, gives things a little bit more complication. I'm very excited to see how this moves forward and what the kind of reveals are going to be. Yeah, the art's the real hero of this book, this is becoming a very interesting book and I'm getting into it more and more with each issue. Justin:              Yeah. This book feels like an episode of The Outer Limits. Did you guys ever watch that when you were younger? Where it was like, it took a premise, a sci-fi premise and it just played it up and then there's a twist and then you landed the ending. And so I definitely liked this progression. I think the art is really nice. It reminds me of Ryan Ollie in a lot of ways. Alex:                 Jason Howard did … what was the wolf thing that Robert Kirkman did? Right, I think. Justin:              Oh, yes. Alex:                 Science Wolf. Science Dog. Justin:              Science Wolf. Science Dog. Alex:                 I think Jason Howard did Science Dog. I've got to look that up while you're talking. Pete:                You should look that up. Alex:                 Yeah. Justin:              Okay, great. So all we have to do while Alex is looking this up is talk. Pete:                Yeah. Let's just do a little soft shoe and kill some time. Justin:              It's not killing time, it's bringing more of our personal lives into the fall. Alex:                 How's your family, Justin? Justin:              Family, good, very good. They're right upstairs. Alex:                 Yeah. Justin:              Yes. Several members of my family were doing laundry over the course of our tapings this evening. And every time washer and dryer finish, they each make a little celebration song. Alex:                 No, I'm sorry. They did Super Dinosaur together, there it is. Pete:                Okay. I thought maybe it was the shark one. Alex:                 How did everything go while I was looking that up? Justin:              Great. We had a totally normal friend conversation. Pete:                Yeah, turns out Justin's washer and dryer, because he's such a fucking big time rich guy, they play celebration songs. He probably had to pay extra for that. Justin:              No, it's definitely not. Pete:                Every time his washer and dryer finishes it's like [inaudible 00:32:15] bright, clean clothes, come out now. Justin:              That's great, that would be great. Alex:                 Man, you should sell that to Whirlpool. Pete:                Yes. Alex:                 Let's move on and talk about Batman: White Knight Presents Harley Quinn, number one from DC Comic story by Katana Collins and Sean Murphy. This is of course spinning off of the White Knight Universe of stories that Sean Murphy has been building up. It's a very different Harley Quinn who is out of the game. Batman is in jail. The Joker is dead. She's on her own. But she gets sucked back into it by a Joker want to be, or is it the Joker himself? What'd you guys think about this book? Pete:                Well, I mean, first off the art's amazeballs. This kind of a newer take, a fresh take on the old [inaudible 00:33:06]. You get a flashback to her and Jack meeting and I think it's interesting. I'm not upset at the changes. I think it's a fun last page. I kind of want to work alone and by alone, I mean, me and my two hyenas. I'm on board, I'm interested to see where this goes. I think we need more Harley Quinn. I don't think there's enough of Harley Quinn, we got to get more. Alex:                 I will say, before you get into anything, Justin, I think we already have our pull quote for this, it's I'm not upset at the changes. Justin:              Pete, when you say you need more Harley Quinn, what are you, in life, or in this [crosstalk 00:33:52] features a lot of Harley Quinn. Pete:                Harley Quinn is a very popular character. I don't think DC has caught on yet. They haven't put enough Harley Quinn in books yet. I barely see her, so it'd be nice if they started using her more. Justin:              Well, let me say the White Knights sub universe is interesting to me, because it's a little … I like this book and I like the Harley Quinn in this book. But I'm like, “Oh, we're so far away from the normal, the reality of the DC universe right now.” I'm like, that to me is … it takes me out of it because the book is so far removed from sort of the normal storytelling, the normal continuity I guess. But I have enjoyed these White Knight books, the art is truly amazing. Pete:                That's a real hero there. Justin:              Yeah. I'm curious how much longevity this pocket universe has in the DC universe. Alex:                 Yeah, I agree. Let's move on. Dune: House Atreides, number one written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, illustrated by Dev Pramanik. Oh, this is from Boom Studios, I believe, right? This is- Pete:                Yeah, it's Boom. Alex:                 Thank you. I forgot to write that down. Interestingly, I mean, as we were talking about with the Wonder Woman, 1984 book, a couple of weeks back. This is again a book that was clearly there to tee up the movie that was supposed to come out this year, instead is coming out a full year later. But at the same time, it is riffing off of the book, it's teeing up the movie, it's telling you a little bit more about Dune and the world. What did you think about this? Does this stand on its own, given that the movie is now not coming out for basically a full calendar year? Justin:              Well, I'm curious if some of the scenes here are from the movie. Is this bull fighting scene or space ball or whatever it's called. Is that a scene that we're going to see in this movie, because this made me want to see the movie? Pete:                Really? Justin:              Yes. It made me want to see sort of the more streamlined visually dynamic version of this comic. What this reminded me of though, as I was reading it, is like X of Swords, or 10 of Swords. It reminded me of a version of that where I'm like, “Wait, who are any of these characters?” Alex:                 It definitely, it's a very, it kept jumping around. I mean, granted the books are very expensive. There's a lot of stuff going on. There's a lot of mythology. I thought this looked very nice for what it is to have [inaudible 00:36:29] art is very pretty. And like you were mentioning the gladiator scenes or the bullfighting scenes were very nicely laid out. But I couldn't help but wish while I was reading this, that this was almost more in the European style, that this felt like the sort of thing, if you're going to going to do dune, get like a Mobius to do it, or Mobius light or something like that to give it that says, because it should be weird and off-putting not consistent with current comic books at all. Justin:              Right. Yeah. Especially when the movie is … I mean, we don't know this I guess. But is probably going to be visually stunning and purposefully so. The comic should reflect that a little bit. Alex:                 I agree. Let's move on to another one, Dark Nights: Death Metal, Robin King, number one from DC Comics written by Peter J. Tomasi and Tony Patrick, art by Riley Rossmo and Daniel Sampere. You cannot go wrong with Peter J. Tomasi and Riley Rossmo at all. I mean- Justin:              Great team. Alex:                 … I'm not the hugest fan of the idea of Robin King, who is basically a Bruce Wayne, who's an evil teen who's Robin, but man, this book is killer, just so good. What'd you guys think? Pete:                I mean, just this kind of like universe is just kind of cranking things up to 11 here. It seems like everybody's kind of having fun with the overtopness of it. And again, we get kind of a funeral thing here, but an interesting take where he hears Robin at the funeral that kind of draws him. I think it's … Robin King messing with Animal Man was really intense. Then the blue beetle getting eaten by beetles. I mean, this is just kind of crazy fun over the top shit. I think this kind of event is like a fun, like, “Hey, let's just crank this up and see what happens.” And every book has been kind of art-wise really funnily kind of driven towards these monsters and over the top villain, so why not? Justin:              Why not? I mean, to your point, Alex, this team is so good, and especially in a book where it's just all about hitting different aspects of the DC Universe, like Animal Man, Red Tornado, Blue Beetle, great to see all these characters, just like riding firestorm down and defeating him. Alex:                 Oh yeah, that was messed up. Justin:              It's all great. And I don't know, Robin King isn't someone who I'm like, “God, I can't wait to keep seeing more of this guy.” But I think he is one of the more memorable characters from this event. See of Bruce Wayne's, the Robin King definitely sticks out as one that is more threatening and more interesting. Alex:                 Yeah. I agree. Now from Children Who Are Killing Something to Something is Killing The Children number 11. Pete:                Oh, come on. [crosstalk 00:39:47]. He's been working on this for a week. Alex:                 Written by James Tynion IV, illustrated by Werther Dell'Edera. We're really- Justin:              And just for you guys listening, the way we work is I actually hold up a cue card and Alex reads that down because we workshopped it. Alex:                 I hold it up a cue and Alex … Oh, I'm sorry, that's your line. Justin:              No, that's mine. We work in a classic SML model where it's all handwritten cue cards. Alex:                 Yeah. Fun fact, Justin really great at writing cue cards. Justin:              A 100% right. That's why I'm a line producer. Pete:                Yeah. One of the things that line producers do. Alex:                 In this issue we're continuing, like we talked about almost every issue, there's little bits of information that are eked out every issue, but it still feels so present and so terrifying as our main characters are trying to get away from these monsters who are attacking the town, who are killing the children. But at the same time, the organization she works for is mustering forces of their own, and it seems like we're heading towards a climactic showdown in the next issue, which is all very exciting. Every issue of this is great. Pete:                Yeah. Justin:              And the amount of information we get is very controlled. Every issue of this feels like a scene or two scenes from a movie, as opposed to so many comics where it's so much happening. This feels very just like controlled pacing wise in a way that is very different from other comics. And visually it lets us really just chew these horror images up as we get to see them. Pete:                Yeah. This was intense. I was very happy with the kind of information we finally get about our kind of main character and her kind of relationship a little bit to this organization. Love the kind of dragon guy overseeing things. But it's also crazy in this comic how people are wearing masks, like how we're wearing masks. And so that's kind of freaking me the fuck out a little bit. But man, nothing creepier than a one eyed fucking Teddy bear, man. This book continues to be amazeballs. The art, the story- Justin:              Nothing creepier. Pete:                Nothing creepier. Alex:                 I'll tell you what, maybe they've already done this, but they should make masks based on something that's killing the children. I'd wear one of those, those would be fun. Justin:              That's a great idea. Pete, would you, now if a one eyed teddy bear is scary, what about a two eyed teddy bear? Alex:                 Oh, man. Pete:                One eyed is more scary, man. Alex:                 What about a no eyed teddy bear. Terror. Justin:              I mean a terror bear does sound scary. Alex:                 Let's move onto our X of Swords block Excalibur number 13, written by Tini Howard [crosstalk 00:42:40]. What? Pete:                I was hoping we would save that black for last, but all right, you've got this all- Justin:              No, I like the book we're saving for last, I think we made the right choice. Alex:                 Okay. Written by Tini Howard and art by R.B. Silva. And then we got an X-Men number 13 from Marvel written by Jonathan Hickman, and art by Mahmud Asrar. Unlike the previous months, we're only getting two … Previous weeks, excuse me, we're only getting two issues this week, they're not tied together, they're each their own stories. In Excalibur we find out what's going on with Captain Britain who is now Betsy Braddock, and her siblings as they go to other worlds and tango with other world. And in X-Men number 13, we find out the fate and backstory of apocalypse, two very different stories, but we're really starting to get to the halfway point of this event. What did you think about these, and what do you think about this event so far? Pete:                I really love the ways events started, but I just feel like we're taking too much time with the [inaudible 00:43:37] or getting the sword so they can join the battle. It's like, “Yeah, get your fucking sword so we can get this goddamn fight started.” I'm excited to see how this unfolds. I'm still very much on board, but I feel like they're taking their sweet ass fucking time with each person joining the goddamn fight. Justin:              I mean we got three swords in two issues, that's pretty … the ratio is right there. Alex:                 I will say I love the slow anticipation of building the swords, but every time they get to that scene where everybody is standing in the circle with their swords, it's cool. But I'm also like, how long have they been standing there? Have they been standing there not talking and staring at each other? Pete:                The first person was like, “Jeez, guys, cool sword.” Justin:              I do think, I mean, them all arriving there could have happened over the course of five minutes. It's just the way that comic pacings everyone is doing their own shit on the- Alex:                 No, this has taken weeks. I mean, weeks between comics. Justin:              Now, that's how you're reading it. But I do think everyone could have arrived there one after the other. Alex:                 Otherwise how … This is probably a good thing for our podcast to tackle. But how does the linear progression of time work? Justin:              Well, here's the thing, it moves forward second by second, minute by minute, unless you go timeout, and then time stops and you can do whatever you want for a brief amount of time. Alex:                 You can say what's going on. Pete:                I'm glad you're talking about timeouts. Justin:              And then time in and everything continues on. Pete:                No, but I think in comics Wednesdays are like our Mondays, you know what I mean? That's the start of the week. Justin:              Oh, interesting. Alex:                 I like [crosstalk 00:45:28]. Justin:              You have a calendar in your house is just Wednesday to Wednesdays just like- Pete:                Wednesday to Wednesday [crosstalk 00:45:33]. Justin:              Mondays and Tuesdays are just lost days for you. Alex:                 It's always Wednesday somewhere, you know what I'm talking about? Pete:                Oh yeah. Justin:              Timeout. Pete doesn't know what he's talking about. Timing. Pete:                Timing. Alex:                 I like these books quite a bit. I thought the other world stuff was really interesting- Pete:                What a surprise. Alex:                 … I really liked the Braddock family. I thought they're really fun in the way that Tini Howard wrote them, delineated them in an interesting way. It also throws in interesting power dynamic into everything that's going to other world, which if they're trying to defend to other world, but they hate other world, what's up with that? I guess we'll find out how that plays out. But the big one was X-Men 13 which gives completely red cons apocalypse, gives a entirely new motivation for everything that he has ever done, which is very, very classic, Jonathan Hickman, Marvel at this point. But I think it works. Justin:              I think it does work as well. And it is weird because it's like apocalypse who is like, he's been alive for millennia. But then you're like, “Wait, that dude was married?” Pete:                Yeah, right. Justin:              Like, oh, okay, he had a little life. Cool. Alex:                 Well, and then the other part of it for those who haven't read the book, this is a spoiler, but we find out the reason he's always been looking for the fittest and the strongest to survive is to master the forces to fight back the beings that are invading [inaudible 00:47:01] and therefore [inaudible 00:47:02] and eventually the earth. It's actually been this [inaudible 00:47:05] heroic motivation the entire time, which is kind of an amazing retcon to throw in there. Pete:                Yeah. Oh yeah. By the way, apocalypse has been not evil this whole time. Justin:              I don't know, I bought it like, as far as a cut scene to just drop in for us. I think that works. And despite the fact that he has been a villain this whole time, if he's trying to find the fittest so he can get back to be with the people he loves, that's enough of a motivation for me to be like, “Okay, maybe this person can now stand with our heroes.” Pete:                I agree. Alex:                 Pete, you disagree. Pete:                I would rather watch panels of him trying to put that sword together than to hear about his bullshit family. Alex:                 Man. Justin:              Wait, why would you rather watch see him put the sword together? Pete:                Because at least that's moving the fucking thing forward. Alex:                 All right. Well, we're getting to it. Pete:                I want to see a sword fight. I want to see a giant fucking sword fight. Alex:                 You're going to get it, you're going to get a big all sword fight. Pete:                And they're giving me all these goddamn backstory before what's going to hopefully be the greatest sword fight of all time. Justin:              What if instead of a sword fight they just talk it out. Pete:                If this is going to be a fucking kill bill situation, I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. Alex:                 What if it's like the sexual sword fight, Pete, what would you think about that? Pete:                That would also suck. Justin:              Speaking of that- Alex:                 It would in fact. Justin:              … let's jump into our next book. Alex:                 All right. Let's move from saying that you were a little conflicted about Pete, a title I know you love, Faithless Two, number five [inaudible 00:48:50]. Pete:                You can't even [inaudible 00:48:51], you're cracking yourself up. Oh yeah, I love it, ooh, what the fuck. Alex:                 Well, I was kind of cracking up because you couldn't stop yawning while I was introducing this. You made the biggest, most adorable lion yawn while I was doing that. Justin:              Yeah. You are just a little bit, you're a little baby by just waking up from a nap. Alex:                 I thought this was great- Justin:              And Alex is like scar, Alex's scar being like, “Hey kid, you want to see some porno?” That's what we're doing right now. Alex:                 Oh, Justin. I thought this issue Justin actually got to the heart of what you've been talking about for the past couple of the issues with this book, where we'd be like, “Okay, what's going on with this art? They're visiting many wonderful European countries. There's some fucked up shit going on. There's weird sex stuff going on. What are we getting through this title?” And this issue did it. This issue pulled the lid off, revealed what the title at least this part is about, and I like that quite a bit. How'd you feel about it? Justin:              Same way. This felt like, I mean, if we can talk about how, this book is very sexual, and mixing that with sort of the demonic and we find out like heaven and hell in this universe they're creating. Pete:                Heaven fucks too bro, you know what I mean, come on. Justin:              No doubt. Yeah, no, I know. Alex:                 Oh, that's a pull quote [crosstalk 00:50:15], thanks Pete, you're [crosstalk 00:50:16]. Justin:              Heaven fucks too. And this, I feel like it has been a lot of buildup, and finally this is sort of the release issue where the orgasm issue, where there's a ton of sex in this issue, and it's about coming to conclusion. Pete:                You don't have to say it like that. Justin:              But that's truly what I think- Alex:                 No, he's commenting on coming to conclusions. Justin:              Exactly. I think this is truly what it was written to be, and I respect that. Pete:                We can be honest on this podcast, right? There's a thing that happens in this issue where they're having a threesome, and I've never had a threesome, but I have to assume when it happens it's like in the book, where you start to meld into each other and turn into each other's sexual organs until you become one sort of like human centipede, centrifugal force type thing. Is that correct? You guys [crosstalk 00:51:14]. Justin:              That's been my experience. Alex:                 Yeah. Okay. Pete:                Especially when you do weird drugs and then have sex in the woods. Alex:                 Nice. I thought this issue was very good. Last one, we're going to talk about Night- Pete:                Wait. Alex:                 Yes. Pete:                While we're being honest, I just wanted to say, Justin, the next time we're stuck on a boat and drinking with Brian Azzarello, I'm going to have a lot of questions for him. Alex:                 First of all, how dare you? Justin:              The real question is, don't do those drugs, those weird drugs that we didn't like last time. Because we should say a lot of this book is based on our time on the comic book carnival cruise that we did. Alex:                 Yeah. The boat was called the USS Faithless, right? Justin:              That's a 100% right. The Faithless Two. Alex:                 Last but not least, Nightwing number 75 from DC Comics written by Dan Jurgens, art by Travis Moore and Ronan Cliquet. Finally, Nightwing is back to himself. He has his memory again. In this issue, KGBs is coming for him. He's trying to figure out what's going on with himself, both with his ex-girlfriend Barbara Gordon, as well as his new girlfriend. We haven't really been following this title, and I got to tell you, I like Nightwing stuff, but I really got off when he lost his memory. Jumping back into this, this was a pleasant surprise. Justin:              Yeah. Rick Grayson was the sort of like devil may care, like I'm bad character, that filled in after he lost his memory, and it just didn't work I feel like. It didn't feel at all organic to Nightwing. And so it is good to finally see him back, especially since Nightwing has had so many iterations that have worked in a surprising way, a lot of the Tom King stuff where he was a super spy. [crosstalk 00:53:09]. Yeah, with Tim Seeley working for checkmate and all of that, it was great and it was not Nightwing, but it still worked because he was still inherently himself. And the recreation stuff felt like such a departure that it didn't … it felt like a one-off issue thing where it was like a bummer, but let's get our guy back, and it just lasted for longer. To see him back here being in themself is exciting. Pete:                Yeah. I also liked the Alfred stuff, I thought that was very touching. I'm glad somebody is really dealing with the lost here. Alex:                 And I like the idea also of bringing back KGBs, the person who shot him originally where he lost his memory and building it up as this big, bad villain, foreign Nightwing. I think that's fun, it gives it emotional stakes, ties it into the previous art, but moves it forward in a very nice way. I enjoyed this book. I was very surprised, I'm glad we checked it out.

Sean has some loose ends to follow up on, particularly Age of Apocalypse, Mind MGMT, and Fear Agent. For the meat of this episode we discuss the first Sandman volume, Preludes & Nocturnes, and why it is so great. Also:- Mike Tyson makes a lot of sense in the Age of Apocalypse- The Summers brothers, "naw, but actually"- Claremont's X-Men makes us love the characters, and you can't go wrong- Mind MGMT follows the rules and pulls it all together- Fear Agent belongs in the dictionary for "Stick The Landing"- Harbinger doesn't live up to the memories, for one of us- Ranking the adult animated comedy shows!- We need a James Joyce moment comparing Ulysses to Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man- Maybe Watchmen IS a good starting point for comics...
