Podcasts about fear case

Flux House, a new boutique imprint at Dark Horse that features the writing (and sometimes art) of bestselling cartoonist Matt Kindt, with crime, science fiction, and humor stories, all told and presented in startling and untraditional ways. Kindt has been writing and illustrating espionage and action-fueled comics like BRZRKR (with Keanu Reeves), Apache Delivery Service, BANG! Dept. H, Ether, Fear Case, MIND MGMT, Folklords, Revolver, 3 Story, Super Spy, and Pistolwhip for the last two decades. And it's safe to say that he is having a moment this spring... (More details below.) This year brings: The publication of his new series, Spy Suburb. This 3 part mini-series from Dark Horse Comics and Flex Books launched on January 11. This comic is the funniest thing Kindt has ever written. As Dark Horse Publisher Mike Richardson said, “If you close your eyes and imagine John Wick being dropped into a Wes Anderson film, you'll have a sense of the world of SPY SUPERB.” The release of Mind MGMT: Bootleg in hardcover (February 15, comic shop date; February 28, bookstore date). The latest series in the conspiracy-laden and mind-twisting universe of MIND MGMT, MIND MGMT: BOOTLEG marks the first time the series has been illustrated by an artist other than Kindt, featuring the work of Farel Dalrymple, Jill Thompson, David Rubín, and Matt Lesniewski. In MIND MGMT, a covert government agency of psychic super spies fell into oblivion after one of their top agents went rogue. What looked like the end was only the beginning as a former leader of MIND MGMT explores the darkest parts of the world and recruits a team of forgotten agents to rebuild the organization, bend reality, and go to war with a competing agency.   Mister Mammoth is the world's greatest detective. The only mystery he can't seem to solve? How, exactly, he became the world's greatest detective… This spring, Dark Horse will publish the clever existential noir MISTER MAMMOTH, the first-ever original graphic novel from bestselling cartoonist Matt Kindt's all-new imprint, Flux House. Writer Matt Kindt will be joined on MISTER MAMMOTH by internationally acclaimed artist Jean-Denis Pendanx in his U.S. debut. Also in March, BOOM! Studios will publish the final issue of BRZRKR the 12-part comic book series co-created and co-written by movie star Keanu Reeves. The issue is co-written by Reeves and Kindt, and features artist Ron Garney, colorist Bill Crabtree and letterer Clem Robins.  In April Flux House and Dark Horse will publish Hairball by Kindt and artist Tyler Jenkins with colors by Hilary Jenkins. In this supernatural thriller from the Eisner-nominated creators of Fear Case and Apache Delivery Service, a dysfunctional family's mounting problems may or may not be caused by an unlikely culprit: the family's cat.  Upcoming Flux House publications will take many forms and formats, with each release having a distinct presentation including unique trim-sizes with two publications to be magazine-sized and special print features (like die-cut and fur) and a punch-card dust jacket that reveals a secret message. These publications are personally designed by Kindt to be both books and art objects. Today's episode is brought to you by Reburn.  Please, treat yourself and get a copy of this brilliant indie comic. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/comics-in-motion-podcast/message

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

Ok, so first I'm sorry about the title--I promise we don't really spend that much time on the Lola Bunny discourse, but it's probably decent for SEO so it's the title. Most of the episode is actually about comics--Jean-Luc has been re-reading Morrison's Animal Man, and there were a bunch of new books like Noctera, Dead Dog's Bite, BRZRKR, Swamp Thing, Suicide Squad, and Crime Syndicate. Plus the second issue of Fear Case! It's mostly good stuff, and the bad stuff is at least fun to talk about.

Emily's out again, so it's another week of the good boys hanging out and chatting like the ol' days. Despite having a lot of comics to talk about (including a new Mirka Andolfo book) the first half of the show is spent doing bits and talking about Riverdale. Not enough Riverdale talk imo but we take what we can get, I suppose. As for comics there were a bunch of #1s--Luna, Fear Case, Chained to the Grave, and Deep Beyond which take up the bulk of the time. And then they end the show, we'll see y'all next week!

Pete:                I'm Pete. Alex:                 And on The Stack, we talk about a bunch of books that have come out this week- Justin:              Yes. Alex:                 And we're not running away from this many reviews. In fact, we're running towards them, starting off with Runaways number 33 from Marvel- Pete:                Oh, I see what you did there. Okay, I see. Alex:                 Written by Rainbow Rowell. Justin:              [crosstalk 00:00:25]. Yes, that's what we thought. That's what we knew. Alex:                 I know, it was a little tricky there, but there you go. Justin:              No, we're running toward them. Alex:                 Yes, this title has been sporadic to say the very best, but I think it is always welcome when it returns. We're cutting in on our kids. Some of them are going to high school, some are not. They're trying to balance responsibilities. This run by Rainbow Rowell has been so good and I am so happy whenever it comes back. Justin:              I agree, it's so well, each scene really stands out. The characters are so well thought through, the art's great. I love this story. It captures adolescence and also the superhero side of it at the same time. It's one of my favorites. Alex:                 Pete. Pete:                I mean, I really liked it until the man-handling of Wolverine. And then I was like, “Eh, right.” But the art's unbelievable. It's some really great storytelling. I think it is fun. I really liked the gib. Justin:              You think Wolverine could beat a Doombot? Doombots are so strong, there's no way. Alex:                 They really are, and Wolverine's so short. Justin:              He's so tiny. Pete:                Oh, I hate both of you. Justin:              Doombots are robot dooms, which is good, doom's good and robots are cool. Alex:                 One of the things that I think is particularly impressive about this book is usually you don't see this sort of second resurgence. I mean, not to get too lofty about it, it's maybe not quite on the same level as bringing back the X-Men or anything like that. But you certainly had Brian K. Vaughan launching Runaways, petering out after a little while. Sorry, Pete, I know you don't like me saying that. It just came out. Pete:                Yeah, use a different expression. Justin:              No problem, it LePage'd out a little. Alex:                 LePage'd out. Pete:                It's not funny. Alex:                 And then they took the characters and they split them up and put them on other teams and use them in different ways. It's kind of amazing that they're taking them back and making them work so well and it makes me very happy. Let's move on to another book, Man-Bat number one from DC Comics written by Dave Wielgosz, art by Sumit Kumar. This is following the Man-Bat, some bad stuff is happening to him. He's trying to be a hero, but it just doesn't work because he's just a Man-Bat. Justin:              He's just a Man-Bat. Alex:                 What'd you think about this book? And as a follow up, who asked for this? Pete:                Yeah. I mean, it's a little weird. I mean, also it's kind of, he's a scientist that doesn't do science. He just thinks that flying around like a Man-Bat is going to win the day. And I don't see how that works, but the art- Alex:                 You walk around as a human all the time, Pete, what is that doing? Justin:              Good call. Pete:                Burn? I don't think so. But yeah, the art's great. Alex:                 Justin, what'd you think about this one? Justin:              Thought you were going to say more. I mean, this strikes me as a different … Man-Bat in the DC Universe right now feels very much like the Justice League Dark character. And I really liked that iteration of Man-Bat who's this sort of loopy scientist who's obsessed with darkness, but also trying to make his science into sort of mad science. And so this take is different. And I missed the other one reading this, but I do like the art and it feels very much like a classic Batman: The Animated Series take on Man-Bat. Alex:                 I do think I was obviously being very glib with who asked for this because I don't think anybody was necessarily demanding a Man-Bat series. It was confusing. Pete:                I'm sure there's people out there who love the Man-Bat. Alex:                 I'm sure. It's the sort of thing that felt to me like if it came out at Halloween, I'd understand what was going on here, as is I think well-written good art. I like it. I don't know what its long-term prospects are necessarily. But as an individual book, if you like the character, I think you'll be happy. Justin:              But here's the thing, if you go up and you're like, “I love Batman.” You're like, “Let me try this other version of the words.” Alex:                 Yeah, that's true. There's also a book coming out next week we're going to be talking about called Bat Bat and a book after that called Madman. Pete:                Wait, wait. Justin, let me just, so if somebody walks into a comic book shop and they say, “Hey, I like some Batman,” and they say, “We're sold out, but would you like to try some Man-Bat?” And you think that's how Man-Bat sells? Is that what you're saying? Justin:              I mean, yes. Pete:                Okay. I think so. Justin:              All right. If you walk into a grocery store and you're like, I'd like some pineapple and they're like, “No, we have regular apples and some pine nuts.” You'd be like, “I'll take it.” Pete:                I don't know if you would. Alex:                 Yeah. You can make them at home. Look at it on Epicurious. All right. Specter inspectors number one for BOOM! Box, written by Bowen McCurdy, art by Kaitlyn Musto. This is I think another win for BOOM! Box, just a fun story of a bunch of ghost investigators who encounter something even more terrifying than what they expected. This book is a delight and I am completely on board. Pete:                Oh, I couldn't agree with you more. I love this book. I really thought it was cool set up, took some great turns. I was really impressed with this. The art's storytelling is really a lot of fun. Yeah, I think it's great. Justin:              I agree. It really surprised me with how like it's … I think there are a lot of books like this in this art style where it is sort of character driven, like these people are trying to do this and they haven't figured it out. But this really like, the art pays off on the comedy side and the character and relationship side. And then the story itself is super fun as well. I really like this. Alex:                 Yeah, good stuff, excited to follow this book. Next up, The Immortal Hulk number 43 from Marvel written by Al Ewing, art by Joe Bennett. In this issue, a lot of stuff going on, but Joe Fixit is on the run hiding out, the U-FOES are training and getting ready to fight the Hulk. And of course it all goes down by the end of the issue. I don't know what more to say about this book than it is great. Justin:              Well, let me say, to me this was a good reset issue, where if you've been a little lost lately with all the different sort of stretchy Hulk with eyeball hands and stuff, this is a good restating of what the premise, where it's like, at the beginning of the issue Joe Fixit says, “All the other Hulks are gone. Now it's just me, Joe Fixit, and dumb Hulk, we're in the body.” It's back to sort of the basic whole premise, except instead of being a smart scientist, he's not a smart grifter and he's on the street. Pete:                I would say he's doing pretty good. Justin:              He's not as smart as Bruce Banner though. Pete:                Oh, well, sure. Justin:              And I think he is doing good, but his whole thing is being a good grifter as opposed to being a scientist, and he is. Pete:                He is a good grifter. Justin:              And I love this. He's a good grifter. And would you rather be a scientist? Pete clearly hates science and loves grifting and that's what he worships. Alex:                 I mean, this book is great, it's fantastic. But I really liked the Joe- Justin:              When you're sick, Pete, you don't go to a doctor, you go to a three-card Monte person. Pete:                Yeah, exactly. You see a guy in the back of a restaurant who take a look at it and he can tell you what's going on. Justin:              He's like, “Right here, follow the diagnosis, follow the diagnosis. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Here you go. Here we go. You have a irritable bowel syndrome.” Pete:                I think that I could have used more Joe Fixit on the streets. I thought this was fun. But that being said it was very cool to see him still have to kind of fight for the underdog and do what was right. So yeah, I very much enjoyed this. Also Alpha Flight cameo was great. I mean, this was a lot of fun, it continues to be amazing. Justin:              Doc Sampson is Sasquatch somehow. Alex:                 Good stuff. And just to work off of what Pete said, as I always say, Joe Fixit in the streets and loose Hulk in the sheets. Pete:                Oh my God. Justin:              You do say that too many times. Alex:                 Too much. Justin:              I love the U-FOES and they do a great job here as being the villains. And we get to sort of actually find out who they are and what they do. Alex:                 Let's move on to our future state block. We've been doing this for the past couple of weeks, as DC has been trucking through their look at a possible glimpse of the future of the DC Universe. As usual with this, these are the titles coming out this week. There's Superman of metropolis number two, Wonder Woman number two, Next Batman number three, The Flash number two, Swamp Thing number two, Harley Quinn number two. And we read all of those, but call it what you like. Pete, what was your favorite title of this bunch this week? Pete:                Ooh, favorite title. Alex:                 This is a big surprise because we've only done it for the past four weeks. Go ahead. Pete:                Yeah. Big surprise. Big surprise. Justin:              I have an answer if you want to think. Alex:                 Yeah, go ahead, Justin. Pete:                No, Harley Quinn number two. I'm really impressed with the writing and the art on this. And it continues to be really great. Alex:                 This is written by Stephanie Phillips, art by Simone DiMeo and Toni Infante. In this book, Harley Quinn is working for Scarecrow trying to take down Black Mask. There's plenty of twists and turns throughout the book. Justin:              Scarecrow is like a cop essentially. Jonathan Crane on the side, the quote unquote good guys. And Black Mask is the bad guy and that gets a little confusing. My take on this book, these two issues felt like an episode of Batman: The Animated Series if Harley Quinn were the central character. [crosstalk 00:10:03]. Pete:                Or Harley animated series. Justin:              That's sort of what I'm saying in a lot of ways, but it's not like the Harley Quinn animated series, it's like Batman: The Animated Series [crosstalk 00:10:13]. Alex:                 I thought it was sort of like Scarecrow. It was sort of like a Scarecrow the animated series, is what I'd say. Pete:                It's nothing like that, how dare you Zalb? Justin:              A lot of hard takes. I just think there was sort of a lesson at the end. The characters are having fun, even though they were fighting each other. I enjoyed this. Alex:                 What about you, Justin? What was your favorite title of the week? Justin:              This- Pete:                Justin if you need me to go while you're thinking I can do that. Justin:              Do not need you to go, you just went. Pete:                Oh, okay. All right. Well, if you just need some time, I could- Justin:              No time necessary. I'm ready to talk in three, two, one, talk Justin. I really enjoy, there are a lot of weirder titles out this week. And the two that I want to highlight are The Flash, Future State: The Flash number two and Future State: Swamp Thing number two, are my two picks. Alex:                 Flash number two written by Brandon Vietti, art by Brandon Peterson and Will Conrad. Swamp Thing number two by Ram V, art by Mike Perkins. Take it away Justin. Justin:              Flashed number two just like heartbreaking. These two issues were so good, so unexpected. You have Wally West as this villain who is maybe possessed by this spirit and Barry Allen who's lost his powers to trying desperately to track it down and save him while also stopping the killing spree that's going on against the other speedsters. And it was just such a good two-part story. I think this is a great standalone just Flash story that is absolutely tragic, but really gets to the core of what Flash's powers are. It's not just running fast, it's hope. Alex:                 Hmm, interesting. And Swamp Thing, what about that one? Justin:              Swamp Thing, totally different like this post-apocalyptic parable about Swamp Thing who created his own offspring through the green, built them. We get to see through both of these issues how meticulously he built them and even their biological features. And then at the end, this is a spoiler, but he sacrifices them for the sake of humanity because he knows that humanity has a soul and the plant children he created do not. And another like- Pete:                That part was heartbreaking dude, what was that? Justin:              … [crosstalk 00:12:28], heartbreaking thing. Pete:                What was that dude? Justin:              It was great. It was just like both, that's why I put them together, both the Flash and Swamp Thing did what you want across over like this to do, take your characters, get to a core value that they have and show it in a new way, a new unexpected way. And I think both these books did that super well. Pete:                Oh, go ahead. Alex:                 Go ahead Justin, bearded Justin. Pete:                Pete. I'm Pete. Justin:              I'm shaved Pete. Pete:                I just wanted to say I'm still enjoying the new Batman. I really liked the backup, so the Black Lightning, Katana and the signal. Justin:              Yes. Alex:                 I was going to call this out. I haven't gotten to talk yet, Pete. Justin:              He hasn't chosen yet Pete. Alex:                 But [crosstalk 00:13:10] whatever, take all your picks. Pete:                Justin got to say two. Alex:                 Sure. Future state: The Next Batman number three written by John Ridley, Brandon Thomas, Paul Jenkins, art by Laura Braga, Sumit Kumar, and Jack Herbert. I agree with you, the outsider's backup has been excellent. Justin:              So good. Alex:                 And that's one where it ends, it's not quite as apocalyptic as Swamp Thing or anything like that. It definitely feels like, what I want out of these where it feels like, oh, this is a pilot. I want to see more of this. I want to see more of this world. And the big one for me is Future State: Wonder Woman number two, written in art by Joëlle Jones, which obviously has a lot of heat at it. We talked about this before. Was this something that was a kind of adapting- Pete:                It's so hot right now, it's so much heat. Alex:                 It's so hot right now, they're adapting for [crosstalk 00:13:53]. But this new Wonder Woman heading to the underworlds rescue, whatever compatriots. And I know I said this the last time, but I'll repeat it as well. It feels revolutionary to the Wonder Woman mythos in the same way the brand Azzarello and Cliff Chiang's run did. And it's the sort of thing that I absolutely want to follow going forward. Pete:                I just, the one part that bothered me about that book was she rips off the bones of the arm of the boat person, taking them across. Doesn't say sorry, nothing. Alex:                 She does, she says, “Oops.” Or something like that. Pete:                Oops is not sorry, you know what I mean- Alex:                 It's fine, there was such a [crosstalk 00:14:31]. Pete:                … you still got to roll the boat. Alex:                 She takes Sharon's bone hand off, throws it to [inaudible 00:14:35] to distract him because he's a dog, it's a very cute funny bit. Pete:                It's funny but that guy still has to row a boat with now less bones and only one arm and she doesn't help out at all, doesn't even offer to row or nothing. Justin:              Rowing a boat with less bones is a problem, I agree with you. And she doesn't offer to row. He is an undead spirit. But let me also say Pete, once you don't have skin, your bones are up for grabs. Pete:                Wow. That's a rule? Justin:              That's a rule. Watch out, keep [crosstalk 00:15:04], keep your skin. Alex:                 I don't know the last time you'd been to a cemetery, but if you look they have a sign outside that says up for grabs. Pete:                Wow. Alex:                 Every sector. Justin:              Bunch of loose bones in the cemetery. They got a bone box. Pete:                They shouldn't have loose bones at the cemetery guys, it doesn't make any sense. Justin:              It's like give a penny, take a penny, but you just take bones. Pete:                What? Justin:              There are extra bones. Pete:                What? Give a penny, take a penny, oh my God. Justin:              Are you using all your bones right now, Pete? I don't think so. Alex:                 You have so many head bones. What are you using them for? Justin:              So many bones. Alex:                 Are you playing piano? Pete:                The piano? Alex:                 The piano. Justin:              We got fucking Mozart over here using all his bones. Alex:                 That's what he was known for. All right. Moving on from Future State, let's talk about Deep Beyond number one from Image Comics created by Mirka Andolfo, David Goy and Andrea Broccardo and Barbara Nosenzo. I'll tell you.,I really liked a lot of what Mirka Andolfo has been doing an Image Comics, but this comic is bonkers. I don't think bad bonkers, just hard to hold onto exactly what's happening in the plot bonkers. Pete:                Yeah. Justin:              There's a lot going on here. This book to me read like a Rick Remender book where … read like two Rick Remender books both happening at the same time. Alex:                 Yes. Justin:              And that's not to say I didn't like it. It has a lot of elements that I like. Pete:                Also there's weird soap opera in there as well. Alex:                 It takes place in maybe a post-apocalyptic future where the sun or gasses outside or something killed people. Justin:              Pollution. I think pollution fucked us up. Alex:                 Yeah, pollution fucked us up. And we're explaining it much more straightforward than it actually is. But there's a bunch of different characters that get involved there. Some of the characters you're following at the beginning don't survive, even a quarter way through the book and then it jumps over to another situation. It is the sort of thing that feels like by the second issue it might've calmed out a little bit and focus, but there's so many ideas at play here. Again, it's hard to hold onto something. The art, very good and gross though. Justin:              Beautiful. Yeah. I liked the art and to your point, Alex, I like the sort of propulsion into the second issue. Alex:                 Yes. Justin:              But yes, a little confusing. Alex:                 Agreed. Moving onto The Legend, and I'm going to pronounce this wrong, Kevin Feige pronounced it a different way and now it's really gotten into my head. We've called him Shang-Chi, but it's something else where you actually pronounce it, Shang-Chi or something like that, number one from Marvel written by Alyssa Wong. I'll look it up. Art by Andie Tong. This is a one-shot focusing on the character, clearly teeing up the movie that's coming at some point. And this pits him against Lady Deathstrike. I thought this was a lot of fun, just a good actiony book. Justin:              A 100%. This feels like if you are excited about the Shang-Chi movie, then you can read this and feel. I think you're going to get a lot of the elements of the movie right here in this book. Pete:                Yeah, I love this. The art's unbelievable. The action of course is fantastic. Great to see Lady Deathstrike, not associated with Wolverine kind of doing other things. And yeah, I'm very excited for this and more of it, so I hope this does well. Alex:                 Let's move on and talk about another book that I think was a little hard to hold onto, but there's still some exciting elements into it. Chained to the Grave number one from IDW written by Andy Eschenbach and Brian Level, art by Kate Sherron. The thing that I really like about this book is it's mostly about a dude who died, sort of probably bad cowboy, is resurrected by his wife. And is like, “Hey family, let's go on a voyage of vengeance to take out the people who killed me.” That's the straightforward part. There's a lot of other stuff happening in this book, but the art sale is good. Pete, you had to love the big guy. He's a big hulking guy with half a face and he wants to kill people, right? Pete:                Yeah, I thought it was great. I mean at start it was a little weird, the blow job in front of the kids, but we'll move right past that. And just kind of talk about a lot of the twists and turns. The art's really unbelievable. But the character design is really cool. I'm excited for more action and to kind of find out what's really going on. Justin:              This reminded me of … I forget the title of the book. And I think we've talked about it a lot. The woman who lives in the house and the house has a bunch of … there's blood everywhere all the time. Alex:                 Oh, yeah. We consistently forget the title of this book. Justin:              Yes. And I knew it last time when you didn't know it, and I now don't know it. It was- Alex:                 Murder house. Justin:              Yeah. Pete:                [crosstalk 00:19:41] murder house. Justin:              It's like House of Sorrows or something like that. But stylistically the art also reminds me a little bit of Chew in a good way. And yeah, this is, it's fun. I agree. It's a good read and I really wish I could remember the name of that book that I try to think of. Alex:                 I think I read about House of Sorrows or something like that. I'll introduce the next one, you can look it up if you want. Far Sector number 10 from DC Comics, written by N. K. Jemisin, art by Jamal Campbell. We gush over every issue of this book. I thought this was a particularly good one. And it jumped out to me once again how important it is that not just the writer, but also the artist has stayed consistent for 10 issues on here. It's made it a really cohesive package following our main Green Lantern. She has been imprisoned and shit goes down this issue. This feels like a lot of what this title has been leading towards. There's been a lot of stuff happening in the background on this weird planet that she's been living on. And it's all coming to head in terms of a revolution. It's all coming crashing down. Great stuff. This was honestly I think one of my favorite issues of this book so far. Justin:              Agree, to get all these answers. Pete:                And that's saying a lot. Justin:              Yeah, it is. To get all these answers in this book is so good and sort of restating the thesis, we get a nice lead in page at the top of this issue to really remind us of exactly what's happening. So many great ideas, so many just … The premise and the philosophies on display here are so good. Pete:                Yeah. I mean, it's hard to keep coming up with different things to say about how amazing this book is, but the stories continues to impress. The art is so creative and unbelievable. Just every time I pick it up, I'm like, I'm worried it's not going to be as good as the last issue and it continues to be dope as fuck. Alex:                 Next up Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures number one from IDW written by Daniel José Older, art by Harvey Tolibao. We talked about the first issue of Marvel Star Wars: The High Republic. This is part of that expansive overarching story set much earlier in the Star Wars timeline. This one is for all ages readers, which is what IDW does with the adventures one. I thought it'd be interesting to check in with this particularly compared to the Marvel book. What did you guys think about this one? Pete:                Well, I really liked it. I thought it was really cool the way it was kind of split and the story kind of comes together, very, very cool. I liked the art, it was very interesting kind of fresher take on Star Wars. We're used to a certain style and seeing people a certain way. It was a nice kind of like creative take, it felt like it was a grittier Star Wars which I appreciated. Yeah, I thought it was really cool. Had a great ending that got me excited to read more. Justin:              Well, you know we love this timeline page. But the last book we talked about extensively where they list all the movies and TV shows in timeline, it's very satisfying to just look at that. Alex:                 Speaking of satisfying, what do you guys think of hot Yoda? That's something we've got a little sense of in the Marvel book, but definitely more here. Pete:                What? Alex:                 This is a buff Yoda. He's a little jacked, probably has some abs under that robe going on. Pete:                What are you talking about? Where's the robe? Alex:                 And he is ready for action. He's young. Justin:              He's got abs on his forehead. He's got abs above and below his lips. He's all abs. Alex:                 He's young, dumb and full of [inaudible 00:23:17]. Pete:                Oh my God, that was awful. It was weird how people were like, “Hey, maybe we should think about this.” And Yoda was like, “No, fuck it, we're in too deep, let's roll.” Alex:                 It was surprising for a kid's book that he said fuck it in the text. Justin:              Let me say seriously about this, what I like about the choices here, the art is very … it feels very much like a fantasy book. And I think that's a smart choice for a comic about Star Wars. We've seen this sci-fi version of the Star Wars world a lot, to see the fantasy version of it is worth a lot of the roots of the Jedi and everything are, there have laser swords. And this was a very cool version of that. And I like the ongoing monologue from our young force sensitive character that we meet through in this book. Alex:                 The other thing is we get a sense of the bad guys, which we didn't really get in the Marvel book yet. There's this overarching force of evil. They seem to be augmented in some way that are going to play into this whole high republic story that they're telling, so that was kind of neat. I assume you guys have not as well, but I haven't read the novel by Charles Soule necessarily yet, which I think deals with them a little bit more, but that should … it's interesting. And it's not as young aiming as you might think. Justin:              A 100%. Alex:                 Speaking of things that are not as young aiming, let's talk about Luna number one from BOOM! Studios by Maria Llovet. Now, Pete, you're a huge fan of the book Faithless by Brian Azzarello and Maria Llovet. This is following a different girl who also gets fucked by some magical creatures. Pete, what did you think about this one. Pete:                So Zalben you're like, “Listen, I got to find something that's creepy enough, but artistically driven enough where I don't feel so dirty reading it.” Alex:                 Here's the thing, we are still in lockdown. I can not go to the museum of modern art and jerk off there anymore, so I got to find out. Pete:                You mean the museum of sex to jerk off. Alex:                 I can't go there. Justin:              I sadly know he goes to the museum of modern art or the natural history museum. He goes to any museum. He just loves naked. Alex:                 I go to the [inaudible 00:25:28] sometimes in the temple of [inaudible 00:25:30]. Pete:                Oh my God. Alex:                 There's room in this tube I shout. Pete:                Oh my God. Justin:              The publishers of this book are like, let's listen to Comic Book Club, see if we have a good quote for the book. No, they mostly talk about one of their hosts jerking off at a museum. I really liked this book. I think Maria Llovet's art is great. And yes, a lot of her books focus on an innocent woman getting slowly deeper into some sort of mystical- Pete:                Sex cult. Justin:              … thing where there's sex involved. But it plays really well and I think this one makes sense. She's the writer and artist so it feels very much like she's taking ownership of this story. And the tone that her art sets is so good. And so I want to watch it. I want to put it on the wall of the museum. Alex:                 Well, I'll do something to that. Pete:                Oh my God. Don't do that. Justin:              See you there. Alex:                 Yes. I agree with you, her art is fantastic. It is particularly psychedelic here. It's about this character that travels, I think to the desert though, it's not 100% clear and maybe take some LSD or something like that. It goes into some very weird visuals. It's not dark and devilish like Faithless is necessarily, it goes in a different direction. But it's gorgeous stuff, it's a little sketchier. I mean that literally like the lions are a little looser than say [inaudible 00:27:07] or something like that. But great, I really enjoyed this book as well. Let's move on, talk about the Comic Book History of Animation number three from IDW written by Fred Van Lente and art by Ryan Dunlavey. And this one we're continuing- Pete:                We should get them on the show because I'd love to talk to them about this book man. Alex:                 Pete, we just have them on our live show which is available as a podcast. Pete:                We should have them back, I want to talk about this issue. Alex:                 All right. Well, in this issue, we're continuing to deal with the Disney revolution, delving deeper into Looney Tunes, as well as Fleischer creator of the Superman cartoon and other things. Another great issue of this book, imperative, fun. I'm having a blast reading this. Justin:              Yeah. Getting into all these characters that we know you got some Mr Magoo in here, you got your [inaudible 00:27:55], you got your Daffy, you got your Wile E. Coyote, just all your favorites are here. The anecdotes that they incorporate into the story are so good. And this is getting into prime time of this type of cartooning. Pete:                Yeah. And what's great is not only is it amazing art and fantastic storytelling. We're also learning stuff and it's cool. Good to find out about all this, this way. Yeah, I'm having a blast with this, really impressive. Justin:              [inaudible 00:28:26]. Alex:                 Let's move on and talk about [crosstalk 00:28:28] King in Black: Marauders number one from Marvel written by Gerry Duggan, art by Luke Ross. In this issue, the marauders are heading to New York sensibly on a mission to rescue the X-Men who have been taken over by Knull the King in Black, but they run into a couple of snags along the way. I thought this was really well done. This is a great book that stands as a one-shot story, tells you enough that you need to know about the marauders while feeding the ongoing story there. You don't necessarily need to be reading King in Black, but you get enough of a sense of it. That's a really hard balancing act, but I think they walk it perfectly here. Justin:              Does all that, also telling this tragic story about human trafficking. It covers a lot of bases and it's just a testament to that, really heads up storytelling to be able to do all that in an issue seamlessly. Pete:                Yeah. I was really impressed with this book. This I think so far is my favorite X-Men book that I've read of this new kind of era. And I really enjoyed it. I thought there was a lot of great action, a lot of great kind of commentary by the quote unquote heroes. I thought this was really fun, amazing art, great action. And I love the ending, I thought was so powerful and cool. Man, Magneto dude, that was really crazy with the whole skipping a rock thing and talking, that was unbelievable. Justin:              I also love Magneto at the end. He sort of like laying down in the air hardly. He's not hovering in a menacing way. He's feels like he's sort of reclining in a way. I was like, “Yeah, of course he's going to sort of lay down a little bit. He's just tired superhero.” Alex:                 Yeah, he's got a lot of stuff going on. Justin:              Sort of. Alex:                 Speaking of a bunch of tired superheroes, let's talk about Transformers: Beast Wars number one from IDW written by Erik Burnham, art by Josh Burcham. This is a reboot of the classic Transformers: Beast Wars franchise with the transformers heading to earth in dinosaur times, taking the form of dinosaurs. Most of the book though is spent with robots- Justin:              And other beasts. Pete:                Yeah, other beasts. Alex:                 Other beasts, sometimes fruit bats or whatever, I don't know, gorillas, anyway- Justin:              Optimus Primal. Alex:                 If this is what you're into, this is the fuzziest the transformers have ever been. Pete:                Yeah. Beast Wars were big kind of like bringing the transformers back to popular kind of like cartoon Saturday's styles. And I was a little, I missed Beast Wars. I was kind of done with transformers at that point. Justin:              You grew up, you grew out of it. Pete:                I grew out of transformers little bit although- Justin:              You're a big boy, you don't like it anymore. Pete:                I don't know about all that. But yeah, Beast Wars kind of missed me. But I kind of felt like Zalben when he was reading a transformers book and you were like, “I don't know who's who,” and it was a little confusing because I wasn't as familiar with these transformers. It was a little hard in the beginning with them. By the end I thought it was pretty cool. Alex:                 Like Optimus Prime and Megatron? Pete:                No, there were other versions. Alex:                 I knew who they were Pete. Everything was very obvious. Pete:                Well, there was a book that you were like weren't … I don't know if it was Power Rangers or- Alex:                 No, I couldn't tell any of them apart, they were all robots in this book. Justin:              Well, they're in disguise. They're in disguise as cars, so it's hard to tell who is who. Pete:                Not in this one. Justin:              If I could turn into a car you'd be like, “Who's that car? Is that Justin?” Pete:                I would know. Justin:              I don't know. Alex:                 I always do that when I'm walking on the street. Justin:              You're like, “Which car is Justin and which car Pete?” Alex:                 I try to start a podcast with every car. Pete:                Oh man. Good luck. Justin:              Yeah, good luck. I loved Beast Wars when the show is on. Pete:                Okay, here we go. Justin:              Of all the cartoons, Beast Wars got into this very philosophical place with the transformers, they were chasing their sparks, they were trying to find out if essentially they had souls, it was so good. And this comic feels like it's maybe going to get there, I hope it does. This issue really set the stage for that, and I hope they really honor the depth of storytelling they did on this cartoon that Pete was too good for. Alex:                 Next up, here's what I'm sure Justin enjoyed a whole lot. King in Black: Black Knight number one from Marvel written by Simon Spurrier, art by Jesus Saiz. The reason I call it, you like the Black Knight, right? Justin:              I like him. I like his role in The Avengers, and I feel like he … and I do like him, I'm not saying I don't. But back in The Avengers he was this sort of like, ah, I don't know what I'm doing. I think he was sort of a precursor to the Hawkeye-effication of so many Marvel characters where he was like, “Yeah, I'm sort of a shit head, I don't shave, but I put my helmet on and I have my glowing sword. What are we doing today?” And this is a little bit that, but a little bit not that. It sort of had a wobbly beginning, it felt like the premise was really in your face and I didn't really buy into it until about halfway through the issue. But at the end of it, I thought it was a good issue. Pete:                Yeah. I really love the way this ended. It got a little bit weird at some points, but I love the action. I loved kind of like the whole backstory and why Knull is after the swords and all that kind of stuff like that. I very much by the end of it and I'm very excited for the next issue, I thought this did a great job of laying the groundwork to get you pumped for more. Alex:                 Yeah. I mean, to that point, the next issue is I assume ongoing series for Black Knight that is going to pick up here. So to your point, Justin, to me it felt like this is probably stuff that Simon Spurrier is going to deal with more heavily in the series once he gets to it. But he's kind of playing around with ideas of throwing there, but can't go all the way, because it was just this one crossover issue where somebody was like, “Hey, what are the characters that say black in their name, have them do a King in Black thing, let's go.” Alex:                 But it's good issue. And the art is good and it brings us fun characters. And to your point there's some fun action by the end. Last but not least, Sea of Sorrows number four from IDW written by Rich Douek, art and colors by Alex Cormack. We had Rich on our show a couple of weeks back. What? Pete:                Did you say the last one? Alex:                 Yeah. Pete:                We didn't do Fear Case. Alex:                 What is Fear Case? Did you make that up? Pete:                No, that's the … are you serious? Justin:              What is Fear Case? Pete:                Fear Case number one by Matt Kindt. Alex:                 Oh, no, I missed that one. Do you want to talk about it, Pete? Pete:                Yeah, I would love to. Alex:                 Great, go ahead. Pete:                Okay, I'm sorry. Just I've been waiting to talk about this book. I'm very excited about it. This is cool. This is like the setup of this kind of like FBI hazing of like, okay, here is this case that nobody can solve. We'll let you rookies work on it for a little while. And it really builds it up as like this epic all-time thing that nobody can figure out. And you're like, “How can this thing be going on for so long?” But really kind of lays out this interesting mythos and very high stakes. I love the art. It's like sketchy, but cool in this way, that is kind of great. I feel like fits with the story because it's a little dark and telling this kind of epic tale. I was really impressed with the art and storytelling. This is a fun who done it, what's going on? How are we going to all figure this out? I thought this was amazing first issue that really got you excited for a bunch of stuff. Justin:              And I want to talk about Hat Dance. Pete:                Oh, okay. Sure. Hat dance number one or which one? Justin:              Number 607. You guys haven't been reading Hat Dance. Alex:                 I want to talk about [Miles 00:36:35] Friends number one. Pete:                Oh, Miles' friends. Yeah. Justin:              I think you're talking about Cinderella and I'm here for it, [inaudible 00:36:43]. Alex:                 Two movies honestly. There's a whole thing going on with Cinderella, there's a thing going on with the mouse and the cat. I don't know, bring it together some way guys. Sea of Sorrows number four from IDW, written by Rich Douek, art and colors by Alex Cormack. In this issue, we are finally getting some hardcore, absolutely gross mermaid attack action here, spoiler, but they reveal what these mermaids look like and it is absolutely horrifying. The slow tension has been building for three issues. The lid is off here and it's awful. What'd you guys think about this issue? Justin:              Great reveal. This is what I've always wanted to see in The Little Mermaid. Alex:                 Mm-hmm (affirmative). Pete:                Yeah. I thought it was- Alex:                 Pete, did you want to read Fear Case or what's going on? Pete:                No, first off the art is so creepy in all the right ways- Justin:              So good. Pete:                … it's great. And they've been teasing on what's going on with the kind of what the bad force is driving behind it. And we finally get to really see it in all its glory in this issue. And it is really creepy and messed up, but really interesting to see how they're going to kind of make it, how these ships are going to do out in the middle of nowhere.
