The Superhero Show Show #573Morbius Returns in The AwakeningThe Superhero Show Show: Morbius The AwakeningWelcome to another thrilling episode of The Superhero Show Show, where we break down the best (and sometimes the weirdest) superhero television has to offer! This week, we're diving deep into Spider-Man: The Animated Series with a discussion on Season 4, Episode 6, titled Partners in Danger, The Awakening. Get ready as we unravel the emotional turmoil of Peter Parker, the return of Morbius, and the tangled web of love and responsibility in Morbius The Awakening!Spider-Man's Emotional Struggles: Love, Guilt, and the Masked DilemmaThe episode kicks off with Spider-Man grappling with his inner turmoil—his heart is still broken over losing Mary Jane, yet he finds himself drawn to Black Cat. The chemistry between these two masked heroes is undeniable, and their playful rooftop chase is a rare moment of joy for Peter Parker. However, reality quickly sets in as he realizes that getting close to someone puts them in danger. This conflict adds another layer to Peter's already complex superhero life, raising the eternal question: Can Spider-Man ever have a normal relationship?The Return of Morbius: A Science Experiment Gone WrongMeanwhile, on a secluded island, Debra Whitman and her team discover the still-hibernating form of Michael Morbius. With the hope of curing him, they transport him back to New York City, only for their noble intentions to be met with widespread panic. Dr. Curt Connors attempts to calm the public, but the fear of Morbius—once a terror to the city—overshadows his scientific aspirations. The tension builds as we see the sinister motivations behind the Herbert Foundation, with Kingpin and Herbert Landon pulling the strings for their own nefarious purposes.Felicia Hardy's Dilemma: Love vs. DutyFelicia Hardy's life takes a dramatic turn when she learns of Morbius's return. Her past feelings for him resurface, sending her on a mission to seek help from Blade's ally, Whistler. As Black Cat, she gears up for the possibility that Morbius may not be the man she once loved, but rather a monster who must be stopped. The emotional weight of this decision is palpable, as Felicia struggles with her conflicting feelings for both Morbius and Spider-Man.Chaos at the Herbert Foundation: Morbius AwakensThe tension reaches its breaking point when Herbert Landon and Shocker launch a full-scale assault on the lab, inadvertently waking Morbius from his hibernation. In the ensuing chaos, Morbius escapes, leaving Spider-Man and Black Cat to pursue him across the city. The action sequences are intense, with rooftop battles, aerial chases, and a final confrontation at the clock tower that tests both Spider-Man's resilience and Black Cat's emotional strength.The Final Showdown: Morbius's FateAs the episode builds to its climax, Spider-Man and Black Cat track Morbius to Landon's secret lab, where Kingpin intends to exploit his vampire DNA for his own dark purposes. The ensuing battle is a spectacle of power, strategy, and raw emotion. Black Cat faces her ultimate test—can she bring herself to end Morbius's suffering? In a heartbreaking moment, she hesitates, allowing Morbius to escape into the night once more. This moment highlights the emotional depth of Morbius The Awakening, proving that superhero stories aren't just about action, but also about the choices that define us.Final Thoughts: The Weight of ResponsibilityIn classic Spider-Man: The Animated Series fashion, the episode ends on a somber note. Spider-Man and Black Cat reflect on their failures, knowing...

Felicia Hardy, the Black Cat, has been around in comic books since. She's been an on-again-off-again girlfriend of Peter Park (aka Spider-Man!). She was featured in several Spidey stories throughout the '80s. But in the '90s she got her own book. A little too early for the Bad Girl Comics craze of the time, let's find out if her limited series still holds up. Watch the video: https://youtu.be/nI7vdZ5aJz4 #292 S6E32 Black Cat #1 vol. 1 (1994)
Spider-Man, seppur sfortunato nella vita di tutti i giorni, ha sempre avuto compagne bellissime, come Gwen Stacy e la storica partner Mary Jane Watson. Una vera e propria costante per Peter però è la burrascosa e altalenante relazione con la Gatta Nera. Nata nel 1979, la ladra felina è un personaggio molto più complesso di quanto si immagini. E no, ha poco a che fare con Catwoman.Oggi vi spieghiamo perché.Storie di Fumetti e Cinema è il podcast scritto, prodotto e condotto da Enrico Edoardo Bozzi e Mario Mancuso.

Jace and Jay talk about some of the titles that are hitting comic shops the week of June 2, 2021. Amazing Spider-Man #67 has a very classic Spider-Man, but Jace is hoping we get to the end of some of the many plot threads that are playing out in the title currently. Nocterra spends some time on quiet moments and has some great characterization, but this month's issue also really brings some hardcore action! Can't wait to see what happens next. Dep Beyond #5 gives us a look at what is on the other side of the portal and really shows how far the series has come in only a few issues. Out of Body #1 from AfterShock is surprisingly grounded for a book that deals with the supernatural. It has both an ethereal and procedural feel, fantastic work by the creative team. Inkblot is just a while lot of fun, exactly the book you would expect starring a fantastical and possible mythical cat. Speaking of cats, Black Cat #7 shows the heart of Felicia Hardy with gorgeous artwork. This character has come so far from her Spider-Man sidekick days. Iron Man Annual #1 does such an incredible job of establishing a start to the Infinite Destinies narrative it has convinced Jace to go all in. Also the art is SPECTACULAR! Heroes Reborn #5 is ok, but Jace worries about the inconsistency in art and story for the event overall. Crush and Lobo gets Jay's stamp of approval, he also feels like the characterization of Crush is authentic. Immortal Hulk #47 has us very close to the end of this series and it feels like its time to take the Hulk in a different direction, but we can't wait to see how this one ends first! Jay's Book of the Week is Star Wars War of the bounty Hunters #1, based on the strength of this issue, Jay is going all in on this event. We love how much it enriches the character & story points we know from the films and even adds to the Star Wars film canon. Also we are reminded in this issue what a bad ass Boba Fett is! All this, plus Jace runs down some other titles you may want to pick up this week.
Jace and Jay talk about some of the books hitting comic shops the week of May 12, 2021. Black Cat continues the story of a deal Felicia Hardy wishes she hadn't made. Maniac of New York is barreling toward the end of the story but whether or not our two protagonist can win the day may depend on the hint of an origin to Harry the Maniac we see in this issue. Heroes Reborn #2, Hyperion and the Imperial Guard #1 and Peter Parker Shutterbug #1 all start to flesh out the world Jason Aaron has built without the Avengers, we see some familiar faces, but without the Earth's Mightiest Heroes, things just aren't the same. Silver Coin #2 raises an interesting question about just what the coin does to the people who come to possess it, or is it the other way around? X-Corp #1 gives is a look at the cut-throat world of the boardroom in the Marvel universe as the mutants attempt to establish themselves as a corporate force promoting their pharmaceuticals. Spider-Woman #12 gives us plenty of action, but it is the surprising development in Jessica's personal life that may be the most significant part of this issue. Speaking of personal lives, Dan Slott is building plenty of inter-personal drama amongst the Fantastic Four family and we have to wonder if the team will survive the fall-out when secrets are inevitably revealed. Project Patron adds a new wrinkle to the story we thought we were getting about the dynamics of the world's most secret agency whose members are responsible for keeping the Patron active. Ice Cream Man #24 gives us a telethon wherein viewers are asked to pledge to save a man's life, so why is no one pledging? You'll have to read it to find out. Geiger #2 has a bit of a time jump from the end of #1, but it further fleshes out the world the creators are building as well as introducing some new characters we think will be pretty important moving forward. Time Before Time isn't your typical time travel story as it is firmly established that time and events cannot be altered, so why bother to time travel at all? Well turns out it is a great way to escape from people looking for you, but that is just the start of the story. Children of the Atom #3 has some big events now that we have gotten to know the team, but will our young heroes be able to survive what's coming with little experience in such monumental events? Giant Size Spider-Man King's Ransom finishes off some long-running storylines that started all the way back in Amazing Spider-Man #1, but the consequences of the events of this issue haven't even begun yet. Jay gives Scout's Honor #5 his pick of Book of the Week as it comes to a satisfying conclusion, packed full of action & emotion just as this series has been from the start. Jace goes with Silver City #1 as his Book of the Week, not only for an intriguing narrative with many, many layers, but for the absolutely stunning art both in linework and color. Also Jace gives a rundown on some other titles you might want to be on the lookout for.

Jace and Jay take about a ton of books hitting comic shops this week. Black Cat from Marvel continues to bring Felicia Hardy back to her roots, likewise Iron Man is doing the same not only for Tony Stark, but also for Patsy Walker. Fantastic Four is a King in Black Tie-In, but it doesn't seem like the creative team likes that fact, though they do seem to plant some seeds for some future family drama. Wolverine is an action paced issue continuing the vampire story running throughout the x-titles, plus ... have you ever wondered what would happen if a mosquito bit Wolverine? Daredevil is another stellar issue as this creative team feels like they are building to something really big. Maestro War & Pax #4 is a bit predictable, but the action, although expected, still pays off. Meanwhile both Iron Fist & Children of the Atom show the heroism of their respective characters in different ways, but some upcoming revelations in both titles threaten to throw everything into chaos. Scumbag feels like it has lost its way in recent issues on this week's issue is no exception, but the ending gives a glimmer of hope that the humorous debauchery may be about to return. The next to last issue of American Vampire ever, reminds us of the flexibility of the world Snyder and Albuquerque have built. Finally we have three excellent titles from AfterShock, Maniac of New York #3 has an incredibly impactful moment at the end but also has us wondering if our two female protagonists have what it takes to stop Harry. Undone By Blood #2 hasn't quite pulled us in yet because we just don't know Silvie well enough. Scout's Honor #4 set up the final issue for what we expect will be more tightly paced all out action, just as this title has delivered with every issue so far. All this plus Jace gives a rundown on some other titles you may want to be on the lookout for.

Full Episode Transcript: Alex: What is up, everybody? Welcome to The Stack. I'm Alex. Justin: I'm Justin. Pete: I'm Pete. Alex: And on The Stack, we talk about a bunch of books that came out this week, kicking it off with Black Cat, King in Black number one. I wish that rhymed, but it didn't. Marvel, written by Jed MacKay, art by C.F. Villa. This is of course tying into the King in Black event, but it's also bringing back the Black Cat title that I know Justin liked ever so much. This one, Felicia Hardy is dealing not only with Knull, the king of the symbiotes, but she's about to pull off a heist of her own. What did you think about this issue, Justin. Justin: I think this is a great issue. I love this black cat series. I think Jed MacKay has a really great understanding of the character, the way that she speaks and we're in her head for a lot of the earlier series. Pete: You love being in the characters heads. Justin: I love. Isn't that the dream? God, if I could be in the head of Pete LePage and Alex Zalben on a daily Basis. Alex: Oh, that's delightful. [crosstalk 00:01:09]. Pete: No, no way. Would not be good for you. Justin: I spent a couple of weeks in Pete's head. I don't know what happened, if there was a lightning strike. [crosstalk 00:01:17]. Yeah, it was just as you'd expect. Pete: Well, it was like what women want situation, but just with Pete. Justin: I finally know what Pete wants, and it begins and ends with a meatball sub from the subway. And this issue, really great art, some fun stuff. Her and her team steal the Spider-Mobile and get to drive that one a bit. Pete: Yeah, the Spider-Mobile was fun bit. I loved seeing that. Justin: And this crosses into King in Black in such a fun, great way. It feels important and real, and the reveal, or the sort of mission at the end of the first issue is super fun. Pete: I got to say, this is a great example of tie-ins done right. We've been reading a bunch of kind of tie-ins to this and it's like, “Wait, what? Is that really a tie-in?” This is done really well. It fits, it makes sense. It's really cool for the character. It gets you excited about the event. I was really impressed with this book. Alex: Well, it's also really good in on the Black Cat book, because clearly a lot of stuff has gone on there, which frankly I have not been reading. I think we only talked about one issue maybe at one point on The Stack or the live show. But this fills you in on everything you need to do very ably. You're able to jump in on her supporting cast and understand what's going on with them as well as her previous adventures over the course of this book. I agree, really fun stuff. I was very surprised how much I like this, and I'll definitely be reading more. Pete: Also I just want to say the art is absolutely fantastic. Justin: Yes. Thank you. Thank you guys for getting on board with this. You've really made my 2020 a perfect year. Alex: Even better than 2020 though is going to be Blade Runner 2029 number one from Titan Comics written by Mike Johnson, art by Andres Guinaldo. This is of course- Pete: That's why you get paid the big bucks Zalbs. Alex: Thanks man. I do get so much money off of the show. This is clearly taking place in the very near future in the Blade Runner universe. Justin: You make it sound like it's real. You're like, “This is our future.” Alex: I'll be upfront and honest about something. Justin: Ooh. Alex: I've never seen Blade Runner. I've also never seen Blade Runner [crosstalk 00:03:33]. Pete: No of the movies? Alex: I know what's going on because I live in the world and you can't avoid understand what's going to go on Blade Runner, so it wasn't a big surprise. I actually liked this despite not having ever seen those movies. I thought it was a pretty solid story of tracking down replicants. The main character was interesting. Pete: Sorry, Alex. Alex: The character was interesting. I like this quite a bit. Pete: I'm sorry, Alex. Alex. Alex: Hold on. Mike Johnson is a good writer of tie-ins, so clearly he knows what he's doing here and I think that works. Yes, Pete. Pete: Because you've never seen any of the movies, no one gives a fuck what you have to say about this comic now. Justin: Wow. Yeah, exactly. Pete: Because if you haven't, if you don't know the material, shut the fuck up. Alex: No, I know. It is the ice skating competition movie. Justin: Yes. Alex: Where they have to do [crosstalk 00:04:21] the cutting edge. Oh, yeah [crosstalk 00:04:23]. Justin: Oh, that's [crosstalk 00:04:25]. Surely you've seen the director's cut of Blade Runner then. Alex: No, I've seen the directors kind of cutting edge. Justin: You just have seen the theatrical release. Alex: They called it the director's cutting edge is what they call it. Pete: Oh, wow. Justin: Yeah, the director's cut. Alex: I've also seen Cutting Edge 2049. Pete: It keeps getting better every time you see it. Justin: It's crazy, they're replicants. They're all replicants. I have seen the Blade Runner films. Pete: Thank you. Now I want to know what you think of this. Justin: Well, yeah, we shouldn't be allowed to comment on something if we haven't seen the underlying material. Hold on to that thought for anything else we're talking about this year. I thought this was really good and I agree with Alex, you don't actually really need to know a ton about Blade Runner except for Harrison Ford's theological underpinnings to his character when you're watching the director's [crosstalk 00:05:21]. Pete: Yes. Thank you. Yes. Alex: I have seen Firewall, does that help? Justin: No. If you've seen Air Force One, you've seen Blade Runner, my man. But the art of this book is really- Pete: If you've seen Regarding Henry, then you have seen Blade. Justin: Regarding Henry, I think that movie was fine. I look forward to the comic book adaptation. This book was good. It's a good story. The art is great. I love the tone of the art they have here. Pete: Yeah, I really agree. I love the tone that the art sets up. It does a great job of really fitting into the world. Yeah, I was really impressed with this book. It really has a great pace to it, a lot of awesome action, some really fun moments where the replicate kind of gets their haircut and stuff like that. I thought the whole wall thing was really impressive. Always really thought this was a great, great comic, even though I've seen the Blade Runners and like them, this comic was kind of above and beyond that. Justin: Classic flex. The art is almost Moebius like, I really like that. Pete: Ooh. Alex: Yeah, this is very good stuff. Easy to get into, even if you haven't watch the stuff. Let's move on to another one and talk about The Expanse number one from BOOM! Studios written by Corinna Bechko, illustrated by Alejandro Aragon. Now I got to say this is another one, I've seen the first season and change of The Expanse. And of course I've seen The Expanse 2049. But I'll tell you without slamming it too much, this felt like the complete opposite of Blade Runner 2029 to me where I had no idea what was going on for most of this book. And it felt like you had to have watched the show to understand the characters, to understand the settings. And that was a real bummer to me because I enjoyed the first season. I would be happy to pick up an Expanse comic books, see more of this world, but I don't want to have to have watched every episode of the show to necessarily get into it. Did you guys feel the same way? Justin: I've never seen The Expanse, but I understood every aspect of this comic book. Pete: I have seen every episode of The Expanse. I have read the Bubblegum comic book series that Joe Blow did for a little while. I have read fan fiction. I am very well-educated in this and I thought it was spot. No, I haven't read any of it [inaudible 00:07:50]. Alex: It's funny that you did. I was pretty sure you were lying, but the fact that you didn't mention the novels that it's based on. Bubblegum first. Justin: Joe Blow. Alex: But given that we don't necessarily have a familiarity with The Expanse. How do you feel this worked as a comic book? Justin: No, I mean, I agree with you. This is definitely for fans. It is so rooted in … You have to know, I think you have to fully know the characters when you come into this book, there's not even a preamble to get us into the world and what's happening. And I think that's fine, it's definitely just not a book for someone who's never read or watched the show. Pete: Yeah, it's tough if you're just kind of at a comic book shop or buy it however you do, because you're like Boom! Studios because they do great books. It's definitely a deep cut. I was definitely lost for a little bit. But kind of getting an idea of what's happening and by the end of it, it won me over. Art, I thought was fantastic. A lot of talking, but I'm kind of into it. I liked how it ended. Alex: Yeah. Justin: And this ties into the X-Men. Alex: Yes, it does. It's a direct spinoff of X-Men: Dark Phoenix, everybody's favorite X-Men movie. Next one we're going to talk about Locke & Key, In Pale Battalions Go number three from IDW written by Joe Hill, art by Gabriel Rodriguez. Of course, this is a series that we're all in on. But this is wrapping up [crosstalk 00:09:18] the mini series before the mini series, which is kind of fascinating thing that they've been doing. Initially was supposed to be the sad man crossover which we're about to get into called [inaudible 00:09:28] that's going to be, I believe two issues long at this point. Alex: But then very slowly, they expanded outwards the amount of issues they were doing for this prequel that leads directly into it after this issue. And I think after the last issue we kind of know what the setup is going to be for the sad man Locke & Key crossover. But this is still wrapping up this three issue mini series. The story of what happens when one of the old timey Locke family members goes to war in World War I, comes back, brings some German soldiers back with him. Things go very, very badly. And in this issue Key house fights back in incredibly graphic and bloody ways. Pete, there were attack teddy bears in this issue. You have got to have loved this. Pete: Oh my God, yeah. I love that whole teddy bear scene. This was just classic Locke & Key, amazing storytelling, the art going above and beyond in all the greatest ways. There's a moment where she's shutting the door, but it's like disappearing. It's just, Gabriel Rodriguez is a goddam legend. The moment where it was like, welcome to Key house motherfucker, it was just … This comic continues to be amazeballs every time these two team up is just absolute magic. It's just gross and fun and over the top and all the great ways. Yeah, I don't get tired of watching German soldiers die, and there's a fun little kind of ad in the back where it's Kinsey's comic corner, fantastic. Justin: This was so upsetting as a story, just so well done and heartbreaking. And especially the fact that this is connected, it's the same family from among the stars story from back in the day, the one where they are- Alex: Is it over the moon? Justin: Unlock the moon, sorry. Alex: Unlock the moon. Justin: Unlock the moon, among the stars is what's written on his grave, it's just so tough. But the art in this book is so good. It's just so intense. And there's just dread throughout. We talked about this a lot with Locke & Key, the way that they're able to sort of have this low level hum of great narrative stress as you're reading this, because you feel for the characters and you know bad things are happening is so good. Something I noticed while reading this, and I don't know if this has been featured in any other thing or if it's maybe something to curb in the future. They feature the graveyard a couple of times in this book. And one of the characters, Fiona Locke, there's a little key hole in her gravestone. Do you feel like that's a … maybe there's something to be done there? Alex: Yeah, potentially. I mean, maybe it's like a zombie Key or something like that, or it'd bring back the dead Key. I mean, I think we could delve into spoilers here, but certainly the goal seems to be the current Locke patriarch in this continuity potentially heading down to hell to try to rescue his wife or something like that. Justin: Yeah, maybe that's the doorway. He opens the door and goes down a pair of steps, a set of steps sort of Legend of Zelda style. One other thing I want to say real quick, the character- Alex: It's dangerous to go alone is what I have to say about that. Justin: You are the guy that hands in the wooden sword. The character, one of the main characters here, the kid that goes to war is named Jonathan Tyler Locke. Jonathan Tyler is my brother's name. When I saw that in the grave, I was like, “Yo.” Pete: Oh man, you should send them a screenshot, man. You know what I mean? Just be like, “Thinking of you bro. Hope you're good.” Because what's great is that you could cut it off because it says Jonathan Tyler, and then says Locke underneath. So you could totally do a little cut in there and just make it nice. Alex: Yeah, that'd be great to really fuck with your brother. To the point you were saying though Justin, I really liked that this story was in a very different mode than the Locke & Key title that we knew. It felt like it tells its own story with its own tone. It's a tragedy as opposed to the other one, which is a horror adventure story, and that's great. I'm really excited to see what they do with Helen gone. But the more different types of stories they can tell in this world, I think overall the better for its longevity, particularly as we know there is more coming. Alex: Let's move on and talk about Commanders in Crisis number three from Image Comics written by Steve Orlando, art by Davide Tinto. So Empathy is dead or is Empathy, because Empathy has come back to life and the commanders are trying to figure out exactly what's going on. I think we were pretty high on the first two issues of this book. Do you think it continues to hold up here on the third? Pete: Yeah, I mean, I see Orlando as having a lot of fun with this. This is really cool the way it's written in the way that characters are. I love the voices and the different stuff. It kind of starts off really grody and kind of crazy in the beginning. But yeah, it gets a little emotional, but then kind of right back into the kind of humor and action I was impressed with how this ends. It does a great job of giving us a little bit of getting excited for the next issue at the end of each comic. Yeah, I continue to be impressed with this team and the different voices and stuff on it. This is a lot of fun. Justin: Yeah, I agree. Steve Orlando is such an idea generator, you can see in all of his work his stories are super complex, calling on so much continuity. And I feel like with this, he sort of put it all, all of his just wild ideas in full throttle going forward. He's created all these characters and he has him just driving through all these different ideas. There's the multi-verse, there's superheroes just fighting on the ground. We have the villain here is the social callers. It's some sort of social media slash cell phone tech vampire or tech zombiefication for the situation. And it's just fun. It's a lot of new ideas all the time. Alex: From new ideas to old ideas, let's talk about Rorschach number three from DC Comics written by Tom King, art by Ori Fornace. In this issue we find out more about the cowboy character that we've met in the first two, who was actually assassinated in the first issue of the book. We go back in time, find out about her backstory as the main detective investigates further, what was going on with her, this new old Rorschach. I really liked the sushi quite a bit, not just in terms of fleshing out Tom King's take on the world, but also how the story purposefully unfolded confusingly in terms of the timeline at first, but became clearer as it went on. I still don't know how this connects to the main narrative or exactly what our overall dramatic thrust is here necessarily, but as a one-shot one-off issue, I thought this was very well done. Pete: Yeah, I agree. I'm really impressed with how crazy this is, but how this issue we're getting specific information about this main character that we're dealing with in this issue. And it's really impressive. There's just so much going on, but it's done in such a kind of cool way that keeps the story moving in such a creepy, but good way. Art and pace is phenomenal. This continues to be a very interesting, cool book, but it brings up this interesting point and I'm interested to get your guys' take on this. Sometimes to love your father, you have to shoot him in the head. How do you guys feel about that? Justin: As fathers? Pete: Yeah, as fathers with daughters. Alex: I have my kids sleep with a gun every night. Pete: Smart. Alex: And every night I go to bed praying that they'll shoot me in the morning and so far it hasn't happened. Pete: Wow. Alex: I just run right into the rooms and go [inaudible 00:17:43]. But then they say, “Good morning, daddy.” Pete: Oh man. Alex: Disappointments, both of them. Justin: What a startling vision of Alex's home life. Pete: Same thing for you, Justin? Justin: What's that? Pete: Same for you with your daughters? Justin: Yeah. No, I'm always waving a gun around the house. They're going to get there, I don't need to tell them quite as hard as Alex does. I want them to come to it on their own. Pete: Okay. Yeah. Justin: But I like this a lot. It's funny the last, this issue and the one before felt like a standalone issue with just lightly touching the events of the first issue. Pete: Agree. Justin: And I think, I mean this time, King does this a lot where you only realize the story he's telling a little bit into it. And I think it often works, I think it's working here. It's interesting that the characters we're learning about here are sort of conspiracy theorists. They believe that the squids affect your brain. And I wonder if that's, if Rorschach is going to believe that as well. Because it makes these characters maybe probably delusional. If he's commenting on believing in conspiracy theories, it feels like these characters are not understanding reality. Which Rorschach's whole thing was believing these outlandish things. But this one happened to be true in the watchman. Justin: So to have Rorschach believe something that isn't true is an interesting take. I'm very curious, it makes him less of heroes, less of a character you can get behind if he's totally on this crazy path. I don't know, it's just like a lot of time King stuff, it's really interesting to see where it's going. Pete: Agree. Alex: Next up, Decorum number six from Image Comics written by Jonathan Hickman and art by Mike Huddleston. We're finally bringing together this issue, which is wild that we're doing it in issue six. But we have this courier character that's been training to be an assassin. At the same time these weird [inaudible 00:19:52] beings who've been doing something, who even knows what. But in this issue they finally come down and hire the assassins and say, “Hey, can you find this egg for us?” And then we kind of avoid that in the back of the issue, but it's still- Justin: They're prepping for their egg mission. Alex: Sure, they're prepping for egg mission. There are points particularly on the assassin side of things that are so funny and so fun, particularly because they're coming in the middle of this wild, very dead sci-fi and Saturday. I am finding myself loving this book more and more with every issue. Justin: A 100% agree. I thought this issue was great. And all of the things we've talked about with Hickman, both in this book and with his X-Men work where it's like, what's he doing? What's all this information like. It was all worth it to get to this where it's super fun the whole time, the story's coming into focus, we're seeing the mission. And the characters are set up in a way where it's going to be exciting to watch them bump into each other. Pete: Yeah, I agree. This was a really solid issue. Justin: Yeah, Pete. Pete: I felt like this clicked into place for me. The art is phenomenal, a lot of different styles mixing here, but done in such a great way, it doesn't feel like a separate story. It's really, really impressive how well the art kind of makes this all work. Yeah, I'm excited for more. I'm a little worried about Hickman fucking me because there's all these weird symbols everywhere that don't need to be. But so far the art is really winning me over, so this is great. Justin: Pete, the original Hick maniac coming around for Decorum. I got to say though, the symbols and all of the extra pages, I think they do serve a purpose. They let you digest what you've seen before and see that it's all sort of a picture frame that holds the story. Alex: Because their chapter breaks is essentially [inaudible 00:21:49]. Pete: I thought you were going to say a palate cleanser, Justin. Justin: Maybe, I don't know. You're supposed to have a little bit of sorbet when you see the Decorum, just a light sorbet. Alex: Every time I get to one of those picture pages I eat an entire pint of Chunky Monkey. Pete: Nice. Justin: Chunky Monkey picture pages. Pete: I'm more of a, what is it? Chunky hubby or what was that? Hubby- Justin: Chubby Hubby. Alex: Chubby Hubby. Pete: That's the one that I like. Alex: Chubby Hubby is very good. Pretzels in that, always love pretzels in an ice cream. Justin: I don't like [inaudible 00:22:24]. Alex: Here's a couple of tastes that go great together, the New Mutants number 14 from Marvel written by Vita Ayala, art by Rod Reis. This kicks off Vita Ayala's run on the title, bringing a bunch of the original New Mutants together minus Cipher, which is a huge missed opportunity of course, I think we can all agree on that. But man, I love this issue. I thought this was so smart, so well done. As a lot of the recent X-Men stuff has been in terms of focusing in, here you have the older New Mutants teaching the younger New Mutants how to use their powers. They come up with a creative thing that I don't think we've ever seen on the X-Men before, where the new mutants characters combine their powers to figure out new ways of using them, which was paced out so well, it's so fun. Alex: There's a thing where I think it's two pages earlier, Rahne and Magik by their powers where they're one teleporting Wolf in, and then two pictures later, it's five teleporting Wolfs out, which is very funny. It was just perfectly paced out. The other thing that I loved about this book, and this is obviously very much on purpose, but bringing the Amahl Farouk, The Shadow King here, who also seems to be in some way on Krakoa, which is very suspicious. But clearly Rod Reis is channeling Bill Sienkiewicz, who is the definitive Shadow King artist here, also the definitive New Mutants artist. But it very much feels like its own thing. I love this from top to bottom. Pete, I know you're probably going to have some anti X-Men bias going on here with this book. Pete: Yes. Alex: But I thought this was really good. This is one of my favorite books of the week. Justin: Because you hate mutants. Alex: I thought this was so well done. And I was so happy with how it was executed. Justin: You call them flat scans, right Pete? Because you're a mutant hater. Alex: Pete by the way, since you guys can't see on Skype is wearing one of the smiley robot suits that the right has. Pete: I don't even know what you're talking about. All right. So the art in this is phenomenal. It's like some parts are almost like water color, it's so beautiful. Magik is just glorious in this, some really fun paneling. There's some stuff that's going on that I don't understand. But I do like the idea of bringing The Shadow King into this. I mean, if you've got fuck Island, you might as well have The Shadow King. Justin: That's your excuse for everything. Pete: And also it makes me want to rewatch Legion. Justin: Yeah. I feel like there's definitely some channeling of Legion here, which is great. And I agree with you, Alex, combining the New Mutants powers in that way, it's very like Final Fantasy, the video game in a cool way. And I really appreciated that. Great book. Alex: Yeah. Just super fun across the board. Next up, here's a wild one, Post Americana number one form Image Comics, story and art by Steve Skroce. This is a future society where everything has fallen apart in America. We start off with some sort of militaristic remnants of America who seem ready to take the country back. But of course, or maybe they're actually fascistic, we don't really know. One person escapes, encounters some insane people that are in the bad lands, including cannibals and other people, find a bad-ass woman who's ready to take the back. It is wild. It is bloody. It's over the top. It's often funny, like when chickens just rip apart a dude. Justin: That was funny. Pete: Don't fuck with chickens man. Alex: The art in particular reminds me a lot of Jose Von Ryp I think is his name, the guy who does a lot of stuff for Valiant, and he did Crossed as well. Pete: Oh, yeah, reminds me of Crossed. Justin: This feels very Crossed to me both in substance and style. Alex: But I enjoyed this, I enjoyed the tone of the characters and the dialogue a lot. Just, they felt very different to me in fresh and ridiculous in exactly the right way. How'd you guys feel about it? Pete: Yeah, I was really impressed with this. This was a lot of fun. It was really over the top, lot of action, lot of violence. You got to love that. This was a very cool interesting take. Yeah, it's hard to know who to kind of root for here with what's going on. I mean, America kind of looked like the evil empire but we'll see how this all unfolds. But man, what a great first issue to get you pumped up for what's going to happen? But yeah, man, it's exciting and fucked up. Justin: You don't know how to root for it Pete, so you're maybe rooting for the cannibals. Pete: Yeah, you don't know who to root for here, man. Justin: Because let me say the cannibals who we meet at the end of the book- Pete: Maybe rooting for the chickens. Justin: Lot of human skin fashion in this last page. Alex: A lot of them were wearing hair suits, I would call them. Justin: Like our facial, like faces sown into [crosstalk 00:27:16]. Pete: Or skull in front of your junk. Justin: The leader's wearing a button-down made of human faces. It's wild. Alex: Maybe they're good. Pete: Yeah. Justin: So you never know. Alex: Maybe they're the good guys. Justin: They clearly have a strong sense- Pete: Because you've got to use everything. You've got to use every part of what you're using. Justin: Well, let me ask you, don't you think- Alex: Just like I said to Jeanine back in the day of the comedy club, you got to use every part of the [inaudible 00:27:39]. Justin: Wow. Pete: Wow. Justin: Wow. Sorry, I'm still stunned by that. Do you think, if you're a cannibal and you're butchering the meat. Pete: Sure. Justin: Do you cut the skin off? I feel like if I'm eating Turkey or if I'm eating some other, sometimes I eat the skin. Pete: Yeah, definitely. Justin: Why are these people leaving all the skin behind? Alex: It's probably too thick, right? Humans whose skin is too thick. Justin: Not Pete skin. Pete: Only one way to tell Zalbs. Justin: Pete's very thin skin. Alex: Great point. I'll tell you what, after my children shoot me to death, I'll tell them to cook me and eat me and let me know how it goes. [crosstalk 00:28:27]. Pete: Yeah. Let us know how it goes. Justin: Yeah, let us know. And we can come over. Alex: [crosstalk 00:28:32] podcast. Justin: Let me work … We'll work out the menu. Alex: Yeah. You got to start with some survey I think between every dish. Good book, definitely pick it up. Batman number 105 from DC Comics written by James Tynion IV, art by Carlo Pagulayan and Danny Miki, Alvaro Martinez and Christian Duce. This is the final part of the Ghost-Maker story, and it doesn't end I think quite how anybody necessarily expected. It also seems to maybe be the end of James Tynion's run on Batman- Pete: What? Alex: … which is surprising in and of itself. Well, I don't know. I mean, he seems to be tying stuff up before a future state. Pete: Well, maybe he's just cleaning, getting a fresh start for his new story arc. I think this was a really great … It's nice to see Harley Quinn open up, get a little emotional here with the kid clown on her. I really liked the kind of flashback with the Ghost-Maker and Batman stuff, nice to get all that. And then we kind of had a nice moment. I don't know how much we want to spoil here, but reading I was like, “Aw.” I thought it was … you don't get to see as much. It was nice to see a little Batman being a little soft. Justin: I was sort of surprised about that choice at the end. I expected Ghost-Maker to be either a villain that is someone who bothers Batman in Gotham or someone who leaves and maybe works in the shadows to cause a problem for Batman. The way it ended, I was surprised by, and I don't know if I love it. Pete: Oh, come on man. Justin: But the everything else in the book I thought was great and I've really liked the art in this book and the way they're able to sort of seamlessly transition between artists. Alex: I liked it more for Batman than Ghost-Maker, if that makes sense. I like the idea that Batman is trying to be more compassionate [inaudible 00:30:29], but Ghost-Maker at the end and saying, “I've tried to kill you most of my life, but you know what, let's be friends.” Seemed a little- Justin: Let's be coworkers. Alex: Yeah. Which I don't know, I guess we'll have to see how it plays out. But I agree with you, I think it was a little quick there even though I enjoyed the issue. Pete: I mean if Batman can be friends with like Damian and a bunch of other people who are at different stages of maybe being evolved. Justin: Well, he's his father. Pete: Yeah. But still he's kind of a psychopath. And so I feel like this works, Batman's opening up to this person and might as well try to work with them to hopefully get Ghost-Maker to a better place. Alex: All right. Fair enough. Let's move on and talk about Stillwater number four from Image Comics written by Chip Zdarsky, art by Ramon K. Perez. This takes place in a town where nobody ever dies. One guy comes into the town, finds out about it from the outside, but turns out he was actually born there. This issue, we flash back and find out that his history, how he was taken outside of the town and exactly what happened. I like this issue quite a bit and particularly coming in issue four, I think that was a smart place to put this because waiting much longer to parse out these mysteries might've kind of frustrating. But I liked the answers that we got personally. Justin: I agree, and I love the … Ramon Perez's art is so good. I've been a fan of his for a long time and really like it here. This book has such a good tone. It feels like it's ready-made to be a TV show. And the characters are really well-made. Pete: Yeah, this is very interesting. We kind of have this … we're finally getting pieces that kind of make sense, clicking into place here about our main character and why he's coming back to this place and what it means and what he's a part of. And it's too bad they didn't kind of push this, I think earlier a little bit, because they could have had like a baby boss tie-in real easy. You had a very- Alex: Boss Baby. Pete: Boss Baby, yeah, sorry. But like that smart baby in the beginning, that could have really tied in nicely. Alex: Cool. All right. Let's move on and talk about We Only Find Them When They're Dead number four from Boom! Studios written by Al Ewing, illustrated by Simone Di Men. Di Men, Is that right? Or did that auto correct? Di Menco I think. Justin: Simone Di Men. Alex: Simone Di Men. Justin: Simone Di Meo. Pete: Di Meo, yeah. D-I-M-E-O. Alex: Thank you very much. My auto correct is out of control. Justin: That's crazy that it changed that letter from O to N, it's crazy. Alex: Nuts, it's disgusting is what it is. Justin: They're right next to each other in the alphabet. Alex: This book is fascinating to read because I think the art and the coloring in particular almost overpower the story of everything that's going on. It's beautiful to look at, but sometimes honestly a little hard to follow at this point. Justin: Yeah, it's funny, it's a book that I wish I had the hard copy of. Pete: Yeah, exactly. Justin: Because I really think that would make it a little cleaner. It's a book that I want to just be further away from when I'm reading it, because it is such a wash of color. I appreciate the choices. I think it is really cool and different. And I don't know enough about what's happening to know where we're headed. But I still trust the storytelling here. It's Al Ewing who I think is great. Pete: Yeah, I agree. I don't mean to kind of echo the old demand of what we're saying, like, “Oh, it makes it hard to read.” But I think it's- Alex: Did you guys look at it with your spectacles on? Pete: Yeah. I had one of the bifocals gone and it still didn't work, but yeah, it's really cool. The art, the paneling, the really pushing stuff, making the story move, helping the action, which is great. But just sometimes because the layouts are so intense, it's a little tough to kind of follow so it takes a couple of reads, but if we were holding the physical comic, I think it wouldn't be an issue. Alex: Next up, Wolverine: Black, White & Blood number two from Marvel written by Vita Ayala, Saladin Ahmed and Chris Claremont. Art by Greg Land, Kev Walker, and Salvador Larroca. As with the first issue, there's three stories of Wolverine, three different adventures. I got to tell you, I thought the first issue was pretty good. It was well done. I didn't love absolutely everything in it. This issue is great. Just really well done. And in particular, one of the things I was so impressed by was Greg Land takes a lot of knocks for his art and potentially rightly so. But stripping all the color out of it and all the metallic wash and shine that usually goes over his characters. And just in that story, focusing on the black and the white and the occasional splashes of red really emphasized how good and dynamic his art is. And Vita Ayala leaned into that with a story, which I thought was great as well. I was really impressed overall with nearly every story on this issue. Pete: Yeah, I agree. I think this issue is really kind of clicking. This makes a lot more sense, this whole black, white and blood. I was just blown away by the art, the action, the violence, it's beautiful, absolutely beautiful, a lot of fun, a lot of great Wolverine kind of stuff, that if you're a Wolverine fan, you know about this character, so it kind of bounces all over, which is great. I was really impressed. Two or three really solid stories in this book. Justin: I thought the art was great across the board, I love, it feels like they put them, these stories in a particular order where it's sort of the most black and white, the first story, and it gets redder as the issue goes on. [crosstalk 00:36:36]. Yeah. It's funny on the live show, Alex, you talked about the cliche of Wolverine being in a bar and then having an adventure. And it felt like especially the first two stories were very like Wolverines in the woods and then somebody gets him. It felt like it was dealing with those tropes, living in those tropes a bit. But the Chris Claremont story I thought was … it was my favorite of the three, which I was surprised about. But in general I like the book. Alex: Well, I mean, to that point, I think the things that worked about both of these to me, the same thing that didn't quite work about the first two stories in the first issue of this, where that they stood back and let the art do their thing, that they were like, “Yeah, we're going to do classic Wolverine setups,” but it's all about setting up Greg Land. It's all about setting up Kev Walker to do the thing that they do, which I thought was really nice. Next up, Head Lopper number 14 from Image Comics, story and art by Andrew MacLean, continuing the Pete block we have here on The Stack. Justin: Pete block. Alex: In this issue some heads get lopped, I think a head. Pete: Yeah, maybe [crosstalk 00:37:45]. Justin: A head finally gets lopped. Pete: Huge head. Yeah, we get a Medusa, old head lopper goes up against Medusa. This is just glorious. I mean, plus it starts with a double page spread of a map, which I'm a sucker for. And yeah, this is just a fantastic story of kind of like Conan the Barbarian type of thing, wandering the earth, having adventures, hanging out with the witches as you do. And yeah, this is kind of a fun day, head lopper has a little bit of a team working with them now. This is just continues to be a bad-ass fantastic book that doesn't try too much and just stays in its fucking wheelhouse. Justin: That's the dream, stay in your fucking lane artists. But I do, this is a fun book. This is like a modern Usagi Yojimbo. Pete: Yeah. Justin: Did we say that last time? Because I see why Pete likes it, it's very good. I like it as well. I thought the witch head was going to get turned to stone, I really did. Pete: Oh yeah. Justin: I was worried. Pete: That would've been crazy. Justin: Yeah. I also liked that this is clearly a huge universe, a long adventure that we want to be able to go on for a long time, and I hope we get to. Alex: Next up Dark Nights: Death Metal number six from DC Comics, written by Scott Snyder, art by Greg Capullo. We are getting towards the end here as the United forces of every single hero and villain in the DC Universe, fight back against the Batman who laughs and his united sources of dark Batmans and dark planets and things like that. Meanwhile, Wonder Woman is off on her own mission to try to save the universe at the universal forge, I believe it's called. I continue to be struck by not so secretly, but how this is almost secretly like a Wonder Woman series, which I think is kind of great. It gets away from Superman and Batman always being the leads and turns the focus on her. And the solution she figures out towards the end here. I thought it was really fun and really simple and really great. And just overall, again, just a fun issue of this wildly over the top series. Pete: This continues to be a lot of fun. I really, really love this issue. Things are starting to finally maybe go in the good guys direction, which is very exciting, epic pages, some old school shout-outs and some touching moments with Clark and Lois and then Clark and Bruce. I fucking love this shit. Justin: I'm just waiting for the space Wolverine to pop his claws. It's about time he popped them and got into the action, you know what I mean? Pete: You're a piece of shit. Alex: If there's a low bow, why isn't there a high bow? Justin: That's so good, or a tie bow. Pete: Oh boy. Justin: I think it's very funny to me that in this book, the Batman who laughs has been elevated to a god. And it's funny to think that it's just a Bruce Wayne. That's just a regular Bruce Wayne under there, who's just had a couple bad days. Alex: The weirder part to me, there were two weird things in this issue. Not necessarily bad things, but seeing Barbatos' face finally whereas I was like, “Oh, that's not a weird looking dude in there, under that giant cloak. That's pretty strange.” And then the other one was Superman and Lois saying goodbye to each other. Everybody else was great. I loved everybody else. And even- Pete: What is your problem there? Alex: Then said goodbye, what did Superman say? Superman was like … Lois was like, “Superman, you're always the son that I looked towards.” And Superman is like, “You're the lead of my story.” Justin: Yeah. You're always my number one lead I think she says. Pete: Yeah. Alex: Yeah. That was the point where I was like, “Shut up.” Pete: Why? Justin: Wow. Pete: Why you cold hearted motherfucker? Alex: It's stupid. That's a stupid thing to say when you're about to die, don't say that. Justin: I have it here, “Lois, thank you for this life, for our son, for being my true home planet.” Pete: Yeah, that's fucking beautiful. Justin: Very sweet from a long haired mostly dead Superman. And then she said, “Thank you, Clark.” Pete: [crosstalk 00:42:02] complimenting his hair was hysterical. Justin: Thank you, Clark, for being the best lead a girl could ask for. And then someone off panel, get a room. Pete: All right. First off, Zalben fuck you man. I thought that was a great thing for Lois to say. Alex: I don't know. That was kind of like, and I worked in a newspaper. Pete: Fuck you. Justin: She doesn't love him. She just is with him to keep the news flowing. Alex: Yeah, exactly. Also, what is she doing there? Where has she been the entire time? The fact that she is [crosstalk 00:42:34] to be like, “And I'm also here.” Justin: She's covering the end of the universe for the daily [crosstalk 00:42:40]. Pete: You know what Zalb, she doesn't have tO prove shit to you. She can come and go as she pleases. Alex: She's just hastily writing out a newspaper on some dead Robin Skinner or something like that. Justin: Yeah, exactly. This just in, holy shit, [inaudible 00:42:56] dead. Pete: If you're reading this congratulations. Justin: Bear with me readers because this is confusing. So there's a dark forge of … Alex: There's going to be a lot of bi-lines on this one, but fun book. Let's move on and talk about Seven to Eternity number 15 from image comics written by Rick Remender, drawn by Jerome Opena. This is a huge issue for this book. Our protagonist has slowly been working way towards a place that potentially could make him immortal. We think it has been for reasons of helping his family. In this issue it becomes clear, 100% absolutely is not. And he goes from, I would argue being the hero of the book to turning out to be the villain the whole time, which I think is phenomenal in the best Rick Remender way of doing things. What'd you guys think about this? Justin: And conversely, the villain from the book, the Mud King is sort of becoming the hero. Alex: Yeah, 100%. Justin: And I would guess that was Rick Remender's perhaps goal for the series. And he's done a great job of really just slowly leading us away from our expectations from the very first couple issues of the series. But really this issue, the art is so good. It's a real like everything is just really well done from the beginning to the end, a lot of big splash pages, it's so good. Pete: This is classic Remender, just like you think you understand, you think … I was so excited. I was like, “Oh, this is great. Okay. We're finally going to have,” and then at the end I was like, “Wait, what? Goddam Remender, man.” He is a very impressive writer. This continues to be a ton of fun. And the twists and turns are very enjoyable. I'm very nervous about what's going to happen moving forward, but man, the art and the action are just glorious. Alex: Great stuff. Let's move on and talk about our Immortal Hulk block two issues [crosstalk 00:45:05]. Justin: Hulk block. Alex: The Immortal Hulk King in Black number one written by Al Ewing, art by Aaron Kuder. The Immortal Hulk 42 written by Al Ewing, art by Joe Bennett. Starting with the first one, this obviously again is a tie into King in Black. Here, so many things going on at the same time. There's no reason this should work with the amount of things they have happening. But it's not only an Immortal Hulk book, which is a thing in and of itself. It's not only a tie into King in Black. It's not only a Christmas story. It's also a completely silent issue at the same time. And it is phenomenal. Pete: One of my favorites. This is like, when people ask you like, “Oh, what's your favorite Christmas story?” This now goes to the top of the list, black Christmas. This is just so cool. And so much is said about Hulk without any words. This really is just a classic Hulk story. Oh my God, this is so great, so much fun. Justin: This is your favorite Christmas story now, more than the movie Christmas story. Pete: No. It's one of my favorite Christmas comics, [crosstalk 00:46:15]. Justin: If you have children, you'll read this aloud to them on Christmas. Pete: Yes, I will. Justin: Which will be [crosstalk 00:46:21] reading. Alex: Say, “Hey kids, gather around, it's time for the horrifically wildly smiling Hulk story.” Pete: Yeah. Alex: The way Aaron Kuder draws, this is these … If you haven't been reading Immortal Hulk, Hulk is kind of split into different personalities. He keeps morphing between different things. Here we mostly get the skinny childlike Hulk, who's been showing up. He also shows up in the next issue we're going to talk about. We also get Joe Fixit shows up for a little- Justin: Yeah, he does. Alex: … die hard style action at one point, which is super fun. But yeah, man, this is just great, just a great story. So well-drawn by Aaron Kuder, so well written by Al Ewing. Justin: The art is so good. Alex: Again, there's no reason they should work with the amount of things they have going on here, but it's a wonderful one-shot. Justin: Yeah, it's really, truly great. One of the best issues on the stands right now. Alex: Let's move on then and talk about Immortal Hulk number 42, which is the ongoing story of the Immortal Hulk. Here we get a little break as the Hulk fights The Thing, actually lays out everything that's been going on with him, which I think is the first time in 42 issues any of the superheroes have kind of found out what has actually been going on with the Hulk here, even though he understands the only part of it. And Thing figures it out too, understands the different [inaudible 00:47:38] Fixit and the other Hulk and everything that's going on, they eat some hotdogs at Coney Island. Pete: You're goddam right. You got to do it while you're there. Alex: Delicious. And it ends with of course, a very typical terrifying paddle right at the end there for what's coming up next. But again, a fantastic issue of this book. And I love seeing The Thing, Hulk rivalry in a new light, it's great. Justin: Yeah. You really get to see the tender side of The Thing coming out here, which I thought was really good. And their conversation at the hot dog shop was really nice- Pete: The hotdog shop. Justin: … getting into like, yeah, sandwich shop, hot dog I guess being a sandwich in that case. Pete: Oh man. Justin: Hot dog is not a sandwich. Pete: Yeah. And the way they talk about the afterlife, The Thing coming back and being bar mitzvah'd and rediscovering some sort of spirituality or having a second spirituality 13 years after they got bombarded with the cosmic rays, I thought was an interesting take. I'll talk about Joe, but just a really smart issue touching on a bunch of ideas and really sad watching the whole fight and cry. Alex: I mean, I'll just mention just on the whole thing story where he's talking about how the 13 years there that was him being reborn. I know that's something that [inaudible 00:49:02] covered and is one of the thing. But from a Jewish perspective, I got a little choked up, that's something that they don't really talk about a lot in the books is that aspect of The Thing. And I think Al Ewing wrote it in a really sweet way and paste it out in a really sweet way. That was very nice to see. It meant a lot. Justin: Now we talked about this on the live show, but the podcast just turned 14. Should we have had a bar mitzvah for you since we've been doing this for 13 years? Alex: Yeah, no problem. I'll shoot you guys a tow report and we could read that in the next live show. Pete: Oh, that would be great. Justin: I would love to. Pete: Yeah. Justin: Plus we get to go play video games and stuff or something, right. Alex: Sure, that's how that works. Justin: Isn't there some fun thing? Alex: Yeah, you get to have a party afterwards. Justin: Okay. I'm in. Pete: Yeah, this continues to be amazing. Really great use of The Thing in this, love The Thing's new kicks, glorious. Also really fantastic cover, really love the cover. Yeah, just when you think this story, it gets so weird and so grotesque, but also the heart in the story is really phenomenal, it's very touching. The humanization of these kinds of grotesque characters if you will is fantastic. I cannot believe what they're doing in this whole comic. It's really unprecedented. Alex: Last but not least, let's talk about Once & Future number 14 from Boom! Studios written by Kieron Gillen and art by Dan Mora. In this issue, we're wrapping up a couple of things as I believe they fight Guen, or they are Guen. I don't know, I honestly missed the last issue, so I'm not [inaudible 00:50:47] keeping up. But there's some bloody stuff, it's a fight continuity stuff that happens and this title continues to be a ton of fun. Pete: Yeah. I mean this whole game thing that it starts with, and I mean to say the art is spectacular is an understatement. It's just so breathtaking and makes things … you're feeling the stuff that is happening. It's just so intense and amazing. And then you just have this bad-ass grandmother right in the middle of it. Every issue is just glorious and it continues to be. I don't know why they don't turn this into a goddam movie or TV show. It's just so good. I want to see it in all the different iterations, if it could … Just so many great characters, so much fun. This is really just glorious. Justin: There's a lot of stories about stories, particularly in comics. And I think this one does a great job of making it more complex and it's a little bit trickier, it really feels like a heightened version of so many things are touched on, where it's like, no, the story's, the thing we're inside a story. And in this our main characters are inside multiple stories at once and they're competing, they're juggling them. But it's also like they're having a great time, the art is so like high-octane action movie. It's really fun. Pete: Yeah. Alex: Great stuff. All right.

There is no better way to celebrate our 50th episode than to do it with Spider-Man! Spider-Man, or Spider-Man: The Animated Series, television series based on the Marvel Comics web-thwipping superhero created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Airing from 1994 to 1998, Spider-Man was developed by Bob Richardson and produced by John Semper Jr. and Marvel Films Animation. That Film Stew's Luke and Jae swing into action by revisiting the 65 episodes across five seasons of this 90s series, which focused on Spider-Man and his alter ego Peter Parker (Christopher Daniels Barnes) during his college years at Empire State University. The show features most of Spider-Man's classic villains, including the Kingpin, the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Venom. Peter also contends with romantic love interests including Mary Jane Watson and Felicia Hardy. There's even appearances from various other Marvel superheroes, from the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, and more.

Marvel's Spider-Man Heist DLC In this episode: Spider-Man's first DLC pack was released on the PS4, and even though Beej hasn't finished the game yet, he had to hear about what Void thought about it. We discuss how the game is fantastic for its action, but also works as a character piece because it makes you feel for these people. In the original game, you really care about MJ and May and Peter and others. In The Heist, Felicia Hardy makes her first appearance and even though there's a lot of good Spidey-action, the story is focused around her and Peter's relationship. Remember, too, that the Spider-Man PS4 DLC does take place after the events of the main story. However, you don't have to complete the main game to play it. So if you want to jump in and get your Black Cat on without powering through the major narrative. They connect, yes, but not to the point where it's major spoilers or the cause of major confusion (Major Confusion, #salute). Oh, and they put the PS4 Spider-Man into the comics already. Yep, for real. He's from Earth-1048. And he's awesome. Geek Offer of the Week: patreon.com/geektogeekcast Weekly Geekery BJ voted, geeked out about Spider-Geddon Comics, Marvel Unlimited, X-Men Blue, and Spider-Gwen.

Don't cross her path, it's Felicia Hardy aka The Black Cat!
Felicia Hardy wyrusza do Nowego Jorku w poszukiwaniu zaginionej znajomej. W tym samym czasie Spider-Man prowadzi śledztwo w sprawie chłopca, który przedawkował heorinę, choć sekcja nie wykazała, by w jakikolwiek znany sposób przyjął narkotyk. Pozornie niezwiązane sprawy splatają losy naszych bohaterów, prowadząc ich prosto do apartamentu miejscowego gwiazdora filmowego powiązanego z niejakim Panem Brownstonem. Narkotykowa intryga okazuje się być jedynie preludium do innej opowieści. Historii o przemocy seksualnej. Gwałtach. Kazirodztwie. I pedofilii. „Zło, które ludzie czynią” to sześciozeszytowa miniseria napisana przez Kevina Smitha i zilustrowana przez Terry'ego Dodsona. Jak wygląda spotkanie Petera i Felicii po latach? Jak delikatna kwestia przemocy seksualnej wpisuje się w konwencję komiksu superbohaterskiego? Jak niezbyt subtelne rysunki Dodsona sprawdzają się przy takiej fabule? Czy tę nieprzyjemną opowieść można komuś polecić? Posłuchajcie… Komiks „Spider-Man i Czarna Kotka. Zło, które ludzie czynią” możecie kupić w sklepie wydawnictwa Egmont.
This time on the Might Marvel ToonCast Jeremy and Tim will take us back to Spider-Man's world as he has his first encounter with the spider slayer! Will this menacing metal monstrosity mess up Peter's chances with the beautiful Felicia Hardy? Excelsior!
Spider-man has super strength, agility, and a sixth (spidey) sense, but you know what else he has? Horniness. Because he's a teen. Even if you ignore the very thinly veiled allegory of shooting white strands everywhere all the time, it's pretty easy to see why Spidey is one of the most sexualized of all costumed superheroes, which you might think is creepy, but remember that he's a teenage BOY, so it's not. Also, agility is the best stat for fuckin'. Come get webbed with us. Join us as hosts Kera, the fanfiction veteran, and Steve, the lovable noob, read and discuss Spider-man fanfic! We've got Peter Parker, we've got Harry Osborn, we've got Felicia Hardy who is also Black Cat and not Catwoman like Steve says several times, we've got Mary Jane, and more! As always, there is explicit content not meant for most adults, let alone children.

Character Corner - A Podcast on Your favorite Comic Book Characters
We’re back for part 2 of our Character Corner series on the history of Peter Parker as Spider-Man. Our first part covered the teenage years of Peter Parker, the death of Gwen Stacy and the original Clone Saga. This second part covers even more as Peter grows up and as Marvel increases the Spider-Man brand. By this time there are now four ongoing Spider-Man titles: Amazing Spider-Man Marvel Team-Up (1972) Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man (1976) Web of Spider-Man (1985) Peter’s Love Life We tend to oversimplify the love life of Peter Parker into just Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson. But the truth is, Peter not only had a very complex love life, many of the women in his life stick around and have a big impact on his life. When covering his teenage years, you see Peter deal with Liz Allan, Betty Brant, MJ and obviously, Gwen Stacy. Moving forward into his 20’s, these women continue to be involved in various ways. Liz becomes the wife of Harry Osborn. Betty marries Ned Leeds and later has an affair with Flash Thompson becoming tangled up in the saga of the Hobgoblin. This time also adds in Felicia Hardy, Black Cat. Felicia becomes almost a kindred spirit for Peter at this time when they first fall for each other in their costumes. Spectacular Spider-Man issues 73-79 take place during the war between the Owl and Doctor Octopus and Spider-Man & Black Cat are caught in the middle. It’s during this time that Peter confesses that he’s fallen in love with Felicia. Peter also really pisses of Doctor Octopus after he rips out his mechanical arms. Octavius then vows revenge against Peter and Felicia in a chilling panel. Peter frequently bounces between Felicia and MJ during this time not knowing who to really settle on. He eventually ends up proposing to MJ (after a previously failed attempt) and they get marred in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21. But during this issue you see that Peter still struggles with leaving behind the memory of and moving on from Gwen Stacy. The Death of Jean DeWolff The death of Captain Jean DeWolff is covered in Spectacular Spider-Man 107-110 and it is a dark and gritty story. DeWolff is killed by a serial killer named Sin-Eater who also kills a Judge in front of Matt Murdock and murders a preacher. Peter takes the death of Jean DeWolff personally, not only because she always treated him fairly but because he later founds out, she was actually a fan of Spider-Man. It’s then revealed that Sin-Eater is actually another officer in the police department, Stanley Carter. Peter’s anger at Sin-Eater and violence puts him at odds with Daredevil. The end of this arc comes with Spider-Man and Daredevil revealing each other’s alter egos to each other. The story doesn’t end there. Marvel does a great job with seeding long term Spider-Man stories. The true ending of the death of Jean DeWolff comes 22 issues later in issue #132 when Stanley Carter is released from a mental hospital after treatment. Spider-Man shows up at Carter’s new house to threaten him, only to find that Carter can barely walk. Carter reveals that in their last confrontation, Spider-Man beat him so bad he permanently caused damage. But in a surprise, Carter doesn’t blame Spider-Man and actually thanks him because if not for the beating, Carter might not have been able to shake the Sin-Eater persona. What follows is a dark tale of Spider-Man coming to terms with the fact that he can do serious damage to his enemies when he fights and doubting himself and Carter trying to keep the Sin-Eater persona from coming back. The Hobgoblin Saga The Hobgoblin doesn’t get enough credit for being a great Spider-Man villain. I’m sure we sold him short in our Rogue War character corner. The mystery of was who the real Hobgoblin is one of the longest, if not the longest, mysteries in comic books. The true identity of the real Hobgoblin wasn’t really revealed until Roger Stern came back in 1997 with Spider-Man: The Ho...

Where she goes, bad luck follows. Felicia Hardy, aka The Black Cat, gives Maria Hill a new view on how the gang war and the breakout might be connected.
¡Ya estamos aquí! Hemos vuelto brevemente para, en primer lugar, recordar que aún seguimos vivos y en activo. Y por otro lado, para presentar nuestra cuarta temporada, a la que hemos querido llamar All-New All-Different Supercultura Freak Chow. Nueva temporada que, las cosas como son, empezará en febrero de 2017. Así que, para calmar un poco el ansia podcastero, nos fuímos el pasado martes 13 de diciembre a la biblioteca insular de Cas Serres (Ibiza) para hacer en directo este episodio 0 y con un público maravilloso. En este programa de pretemporada dedicado a la (mala) suerte, Lluís nos hace un recorrido por la vida obra y milagros de toda una macizorra de Marvel Comics, La Gata Negra, inicialmente villana, y antiheroína en la actualidad, Felicia Hardy siempre ha estado vinculada a nuestro amistoso vecino, Spiderman quien, dicho sea de paso, luce muchísimo mejor junto a ella que junto a la moñas de Mary Jane. Alex sigue y a falta de una película, nos trae tres. La primera sí que va más relacionada con el tema de la suerte, tanto buena como mala. Por eso nos trae la (horrorosa) película Devuélveme mi suerte (Just my luck) de 2006 dirigida por Donald Petrie, con Lindsay Lohan (sí, Lindsay Lohan) y Chris Pine; la película Un perdedor con suerte (Loser) del año 2000 dirigida por Amy Heckerling, con Jason Biggs y Mena Suvari; y Un golpe de suerte (The big white) del 2005, dirigida por Mark Mylod y protagonizada por Robin Williams y Holly Hunter. E Ismael ha recorrido el concepto de la "suerte" en los videojuegos, mucho más presente en RPG's y juegos de mapa procedurales, pasando por las sagas de Diablo y Fallout, dos de sus favoritas, y poniendo de guindilla dos juegos indie procedurales que le ha hecho crecer callos en los pulgares; The Binding Of Isaac (Edward McMullen, 2011) y Rogue Legacy (Cellar Door Games, 2013).

The Black Cat This week on The Heroes, Villains and Sidekicks Show we'll be having some fun learning about a character that straddles the line of hero and villain, Felicia Hardy a.k.a, The Black Cat.
The claws come out in this battle of black-clad cat burglars, as a swag soiree thrown by the Maharaja turns into the scene of a feline-themed crime! Upon their discovery that the fabled Pink Panther Diamond is hidden away somewhere in the palace, party-goers Selina Kyle and Felicia Hardy slip away from the crowd and into costumes that send Kit to her bunk. It's now a race to the prize between Catwoman (so good at theft, she stole Batman's heart) and the Black Cat (whose superpowers allow her to do everything except get lucky with Spider-Man). Which master criminal will beat the other through the network of security systems and armed guards and be the first to lay hands on the shiny? Can the advocates survive Liz Logan's latest accent/fit of method acting, her unending repetition of the word "space," and most importantly, the beautiful disaster that is this week's Lightning Round? They will have to be either insanely competent or superhumanly fortunate...as will you, dear listener!
In this show we tackle the rest of the dozens of message board questions. Some of the highlights include: *Could Batman beat the Green Goblin? *What Clone Saga character was underused and didn’t read their full potential?*Would Ben Reilly and Felicia Hardy make a good couple? *Is Marvel or DC more progressive when it comes to gender, race, sex?
Amazing Spider-Man Presents: Black Cat #1 is set to hit the stands this Wednesday, kicking off a 4 issues mini-series following Black Cat, Felcia Hardy on a heist caper! We've got writer Jen Van Meter to talk about the mini-series, and what's so cool about the thief that Spider-Man can't seem to resist. With art by the brilliant Javier Pulido, and covers by Amanda Conner, you're sure to notice it on the shelves.
Intro and outro provided by Eddie Meeks from his album "After this...I'll holla on Everything I Love" Thanks for listening and tuning in to the Direct Edition where you get the latest news & opinion on Comics, Games, Movies, and Anime. Spider-Man 4 was set to be released worldwide on May 6, 2011, but Sony announced plans to reboot the series after Raimi and Maguire left over script disputes. In 2007, Raimi expressed interest in portraying the transformation of Dr. Curt Connors into his villainous alter-ego, the Lizard; the character's actor Dylan Baker and producer Grant Curtis have also been enthusiastic about the idea. It was reported in December 2009 that John Malkovich was in negotiations to play Vulture, and that Anne Hathaway would play Felicia Hardy, though she would not have transformed into the Black Cat, as in the comics. Instead, Raimi's Felicia was expected to become a brand-new superpowered figure called the Vulturess. Sony Pictures announced in January 2010 that plans for Spider-Man 4 had been cancelled due to Raimi's withdrawal from the project. Raimi reportedly ended his participation due to doubt that he could meet the planned May 2011 release date while upholding the film creatively. We take a look at the Spider-Man reboot. Is it valid and maybe the companies need to put aside their differences and just hugs all around and with the trend of restarting a comic after ending it only to ghost number it so that it reaches a milestone issue number 200, 600, 500 for example...and a special guest appearance by Onyx.
