While Dr. Lee is eager to begin his new position at the Metropolis Health Department, his two kids, Roberta and Tommy, are more excited about being closer to the famous superhero Superman! Tommy adjusts quickly to the fast pace of their new neighborhood, befriending Jimmy Olsen and joining the baseball team, while his younger sister Roberta feels out of place when she fails to fit in with the neighborhood kids. She's awkward, quiet, and self-conscious of how she looks different from the kids around her, so she sticks to watching people instead of talking to them. While the Lees try to adjust to their new lives, an evil is stirring in Metropolis: the Ku Klux Klan. The Klan targets the Lee family, beginning a string of terrorist attacks. They kidnap Tommy, attack the Daily Planet, and even threaten the local YMCA. But with the help of Roberta's keen skills of observation, Superman is able to fight the Klan's terror, while exposing those in power who support them-and Roberta and Superman learn to embrace their own unique features that set them apart.

In art, media, and life, the Sophomore attempt is seen as the moment when the world can see what the thing is really like. They have come out, made an attempt or impression on the world, shy, new....and then they come back with their real statement for the world. This is the second issue of what will become a four issue mini series. The first had promise, with some worry. This second issue is where we are really looking for the hook, the theme that will keep all the kids coming back for it's milkshakes. Boy howdy......this book is selling something, and it just might be a hot mess or whatever. Their is tone problems, and issues with story beat, replaying old tunes, and other audio analogies that I will forego at the moment. This hodgepodge of stuff has left us pretty cold on this issue, and very hesitant of the rest of the series. It is difficult to compare what is happening here, in this 2000 book, with what will happen in five years with Marc Sumerak and GuriHiru. We know what this property is capable of. We know it can be better. There could be an argument against the property turning into a teen or tween book with a focus on romance. That would be fine, if it was done well, or done with consistency. Spoiler for the next book and the rest of the series, the romance angles really get shelved. it is not a good showing of the kids actually trying to live normal lives. While the first issue felt like an opportunity, this one just fell flat. There was a lot happening that could have set up some story lines, but a few were rehashing of old plots while the rest were just uncomfortable. And really, it just made us want to lie down for a bit.

Sutherland and Mike Holmes (Graphix), the “Frazzled” series by Booki Vivant (HarperCollins), “¡¡Manu!!” by Kelly Fernandez (Graphix), “Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles” by Fermín Solís (Self-Made Hero), and “Welcome to the New World” by Jake Halpern and Michael Sloan (Metropolitan).

It's JEFF! Jeff the Landshark. Kelly Thompson's Marvel Unlimited Infinity Comic with artist team Gurihiru has won our hearts. And by “our,” we mean Comics Syllabus host Paul and his special guest, Cohost Kid! (That's his daughter.) Today on the Comics Syllabus, we dive deep into the far reaches of Marvel history (2018!!!) to explore the origins of this irresistibly adorable character, his origins in the “West Coast Avengers” and “Deadpool” (also scripted by Thompson). Here's Thompson's Substack post detailing Jeff's origins! Then, Cohost Kid and the Comics Syllabus talk about some comics that have also won our hearts lately, including “Yotsuba&,” “Wings of Fire,” “The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl,” “Ms. Marvel,” and Dad's weird “Spider-Man” reading.

What's up, everybody. Welcome to The Stack. I'm Alex. Justin: I'm Justin. Pete: I'm Pete. Alex: On The Stack, we talk about a bunch of books that have come out this week, and let's kick it off with the clown prince of crime himself, The Joker #1 from DC Comics, written by James Tynion IV and Sam Johns, art by Guillem March and Mirka Andolfo. This is the first time ever the Joker has an ongoing series. So of course, it's mostly about Commissioner Gordon. I mean, this is reliably good. It's James Tynion, Guillem March. His art is gorgeous, as usually, even with the swerve here that it mostly is not about the Joker. It's still a really good story. I liked it quite a bit. What'd you guys think? Pete: Yeah. I was really impressed. I thought it was very interesting because it's like “Okay. Joker #1. What are we going to get here?” and I was really impressed with the choices that they made with this comic. Also, we're still getting this kind of Punchline kind of backup story in this, which is great, and it's going to be really interesting to see how this Punchline thing unfolds, but yeah. As far as Joker #1, I thought they did an amazing job of getting you excited for this big kind of arc that they're telling. I think, as far as this first issue is concerned, it does its job really well. I am very excited for more. Justin: Yeah. I really like this version of Commissioner Gordon, or ex-Commissioner Gordon. We get to see a nice flashback of when he was in the Chicago PD before he got busted down to Gotham, and it reminded me a lot of Scott Snyder's Detective Comics run, sort of where he was plucked from that. Pete: Oh, yeah. With Jock. Jock was doing the art. Yeah. Justin: Yeah. He was plucked, and Francavilla, Frencesco Francavilla, was doing the art on that for a little bit as well when he was dealing with his son and being suspicious of him becoming a murderer. Pete: Yeah. That whole restaurant scene was just so- Justin: A hundred percent. Pete: Yeah. Justin: In this, we get a little … There's some reflections of that here in the story as well, and it's just a great story, and I really like the idea that it's not a story where we have to watch the Joker being a crazy person the whole time. It's this sort of- Pete: Or there's three or four Jokers or … You know what I mean? Justin: Yes. This sort of detective story where we're following Commissioner Gordon make some hard choices that I'm curious to see how plays out. Alex: It's good storytelling across the board. If you were hesitant at all, definitely pick it up. Next up, Children of the Atom #1 from Marvel, written by Vita Ayala, art by Bernard Chang. This is an interesting take on what's currently going on with X-Men to show us several characters that seemingly have decided not to go to Krakoa and instead be regular teenagers in high school while fighting crime as mutants. There's, of course, a little bit of a twist there, but what did you think about this first issue? Justin: I'm curious what Pete thinks of it, because we get to see perhaps a Cyclops that he can really get on board with. Pete: Yeah. It was an issue of a comic book. Had some X-Men in it, which is great. Justin: True. Pete: There's some fighting. Yeah. I liked a couple of the characters. Art was really good. Justin: Interesting. Not sort of a non-take there, really. I like this story a lot, especially in the larger context of the X-Men universe right now. This feels like a simple, standalone series where we're going to follow these characters and whatever is up with them. They feel like sort of mutant wannabes, almost, trying to find their place by replicating the original X-Men in a fun way. It's drawn really nicely. It was cool. Great reveal at the end. Alex: Yeah. I like the fact that we're getting to see outside of Krakoa and what's going on there, because this is a part of the world that we need to find out more about of and their reaction to things. So I am curious, given the twist at the end in particular, where this is going to go, but Vita Ayala is always reliable as a writer, but Chang's art is good. These characters are interesting. I'm excited to read the second issue. Alex: Next up, Karmen #1 from Image Comics by and art by Guillem March. This is a very different take on an angel dressed in sort of a skeleton thing straight out of Karate Kid, right, Pete? You know what I'm talking about. Pete: I do know what you're referencing, but I feel like this costume is a little bit more elaborate than that one. Alex: Slightly more elaborate because it actually is her skeleton, but she is visiting with somebody who … They don't come out and say it, but has recently died or is about to die and takes her around as a ghost to sort of show her the world. It's not quite clear to me what this book is going to be about going forward yet at this point. There's a tease of something a little bit more at the end here, but it's always a pleasure to see Guillem March's art. Justin: Great art, and this feels like something that is like a labor of love, like something that the amount of time and focus put into this book is just palpable. It's beautiful, and it's sort of haunting in the way the story unfolds. I thought this was great, and yeah. Love the art. Pete: Yeah. It's very sad and very powerful, and yeah. I mean, it's kind of a twisted tale about something that is just … Whoa. Everybody okay? I thought that was a fire alarm going off there. Alex: It's all right. Justin: No. I didn't hear anything. Alex: I mean, I will say, to that point, not to interrupt you, Pete, but I do want to mention for anybody interested in picking this up, trigger warning for suicide in this book, potentially. They don't come out and say it, but it's pretty clear what's going on there. Also, there is a fair amount of nudity. So this is not a book that should go necessarily handing to kids, but go ahead, Pete, if there was anything else you wanted to say. Pete: Yeah. It's kind of a dark tale, but they're kind of putting a bright kind of light on it. So I'm very interested to see how this all unfolds and what the point of this is, because it's a little fucked up, but yeah. I mean, it's not something you can read in the subway or something. You have to read this by yourself somewhere, but it does a great job of grabbing the reader's attention, and I'm curious to see kind of how it all unfolds. Alex: Pete, did you take this one to your reading hole? Pete: Yeah. Yeah. Alex: Me too. Yeah. I got in my hole, just crawled up, and read that book so nobody could see me. Justin: I made a reservation in Pete's reading hole, and I still haven't really got my arrival date. Alex: Oh, you got to try the cheese puffs there. They are to die for. Justin: So good. Alex: Wonder Woman #770 from DC Comics, written by Michael W. Conrad and Becky Cloonan and Jordie Bellaire, art by Travis Moore and Paulina Ganucheau or Ganucheau. Excuse me. We talked about this a little bit on the live show. This is coming out of the Future State stuff. So Wonder Woman had this new status quo where she pulled herself back from being sort of a guardian of the universe type thing but instead has found herself in Valhalla in the Norse afterlife fighting the same fights over and over again. That's the front story. The back story is showing us young Wonder Woman. I thought this was phenomenal. Justin: This was one of my favorite books of the week. Really great. I was really curious, reading all the stuff coming out of Future State, where Wonder Woman was going to land. It felt like it was going to be just not a fun place, she was going to be doing something different, and this was such a breath of fresh air. Diana sort of doesn't know what Wonder Woman is. She doesn't have her powers. She's just being a warrior in its purest form. There's a mystery unfolding behind the scenes. There's some romance here, perhaps. Really just a great story top to bottom. Really caught me off guard. Alex: Pete, you were very patiently raising your hand. What's going on? Pete: All right. So I'm a huge fan of Wonder Woman, but it was weird. I know there's a lot of different kind of mythology, historical and non-historical, wrapped up with Wonder Woman. So it was like I was like “Asgard? Wonder Woman? Why am I fighting this in my brain?” It's this weird Valhalla. I know it should be okay, but to me, it's like I associate it so hard with Marvel that it was hard for me to be like “Yeah. This is cool. Wonder Woman's walking around Marvel right now. This is totally fine. There's nothing wrong with this.” Alex: Yeah. I get what you're saying, but it's definitely a very different take than Thor stuff over in Marvel, certainly. I agree with you. It is nearly impossible for comic books to divorce Norse mythology from Thor and the Thor comics books and Loki and et cetera, but those existed beforehand. They definitely time immemorial, and this feels like a more mythological take on Norse mythology than exactly what's going on, usually at least, in Marvel comics. So I got over it by the end, but I was definitely there with you at the beginning with it, Pete. Justin: Thor was a different dude. He had a red beard. So that's totally different. Pete: Sure. Sure. Sure. Yeah. Yeah, but that aside, I really thought this was a great start for this new team. I feel like this is really cool. I also really liked the backup. I thought that was fun. I'm excited for this. Alex: Well, let's move on to one that you're very excited for as well, Pete, Non-Stop Spider-Man #1 from Marvel, written by Joe Kelly and art by Chris Bachalo. Pete: Come on. Alex: Of course, this is taking Spider-Man and putting him in the position of Alexander Hamilton in the musical Hamilton, because he is going non-stop. Pete: Don't ruin this for me, you fucking piece of shit. Justin: My favorite song from Hamilton is Non-Stop. Alex: Really? Justin: Yeah. Alex: Oh, interesting. Pete, you love this book. This is the fast and the furious of Spider-Man books. It's sort of the total opposite of what's going on in Amazing Spider-Man. No real soap opera going on here, just complete balls-to-the-wall action with brief interludes to give you backstory about what's going on. Talk about what you liked about this book. Justin: Even those interludes are happening pretty fast. This is a smash opera, which is Pete's medium of choice. Pete: Yeah. I love this. There's no time wasted. It's all non-stop. It's all happening. During a fight scene, which is such a great idea, don't waste time like “Oh, let's go to a coffee shop and fucking talk about our feelings.” No. It's all action. It is just non-stop. I loved it. The art alone is worth picking this up. Unbelievable. Just so fun how Spider-Man's falling but counting the stories by having this inner monologue. I needed this Spider-Man, because Nick Spencer's fucking killing me on that other Spider-Man book, and I just needed a light, fun Spider-Man Spider-Man book that isn't doing a bunch of weird shit. So I really needed this book, and the art is just so good, and I love the pace of it. I love the action. Every single page was glorious, and then the backup story with not your mom's Zemo here. This is a new Zemo here that's just has a lot of sass, got some backtalk, really owning the fact that he's rocking a purple mask in a fun way, and it's all about that drip. Justin: He does love that drip. Yeah. I first opened this book, and I was like “Surely there's going to be a couple stops in here.” None. Pete: No. Why do you need stops? What do you need stops for? It's an express train. Justin: It's an express train. Pete: You go on the local if you want some fucking stops and look around. Justin: Pete, what did you think of the backmatter where the editor, Nick Lowe, talks about how, in every single page, he's getting his relationship with Mary Jane annulled. Pete: That's not true. Justin: That's how non-stop it is. Pete: That's not true. Alex: Non-stop annulments. Yeah. Pete: That's not true. it's not true at all. Alex: This is the perfect team- Justin: It is true. Re-read it. Alex: I would say this is the perfect team for this book. Joe Kelly, great at this sort of thing. Chris Bachalo, great at this sort of thing. This is fun. Like you're saying, Pete, this is the opposite of what's going on in Amazing Spider-Man, and it's a nice little treat after reading that. Pete: It is a nice treat. Come on. Justin: Yeah. No. I really enjoyed it. Chris Bachalo's art's great. It's great to see him on a book like Spider-Man where you get to see- Pete: It's phenomenal. Justin: There's so much going on. The panels are crooked. When I got to the end, I was like “This surely can't be the end,” and there's a whole other story. So the stops kept not stopping, you know? Pete: Yeah. Exactly. Never stop stopping. What'd you guys think of the backup? Justin: Fun. Alex: The Baron Zemo backup? Pete: Yeah. Alex: I love Zemo. I don't know what it is. I just love that guy. Pete: Yeah. I didn't know you were such a Zemo head. Alex: I love Zemo. Pete: But this- Alex: I can't explain it. Pete: How do you- Alex: No. Actually, I can explain it. It's because Under Siege, Avengers: Under Siege, is probably my favorite Avengers storyline. I was like “Yo. I'm sold on this guy. This guy-“ Justin: Avengers: Under Siege is your favorite Avengers story? Alex: Absolutely. Justin: Wow. Pete: Wow. Justin: There it is. Pete: How do you feel- Justin: You love a real loose mask, huh? Pete: How do you feel about this updated Zemo a little bit? He's got a little sass. Justin: You keep pushing his sass. Pete: Well, it's just I haven't seen the Zemo, and Zalben's a Zemo head. So I'm wondering if he's like “This is my Zemo,” or like he feels cool with it. Alex: No. It's straight out- Justin: Pete, have you- Alex: If anything, it's old Zemo. He's got the loose mask back again instead of the tight mask. Pete: Sure. Yeah. Alex: His neck's getting some air. Pete: Right, but I mean, the way he's talking is not how Zemo normally talks. Alex: It's fine. Justin: Pete, this story focuses on a drug called A Plus. Have you been taking some of it? Because you seem hyped. You're non-stop right now. Pete: Dude, I am non-stop, and I needed a book like this to get me hyped. Alex: Let's move on then and talk about Proctor Valley Road #1 from BOOM! Studios, written by- Pete: Oh, boy. Alex: … Grant Morrison and Alex Child, art by- Pete: What? Alex: … Naomi Franquiz. What? Pete: I kept the whole time reading this being like “I can't believe this is written by Grant Morrison. It looks like such a nice, wholesome book, and I can't believe Grant Morrison is doing this shit.” Alex: Yeah, and then you got to the end, right? Pete: Oh, yeah. I did. Alex: So this is about a bunch of kids who hear a legend about a place called Proctor Valley Road, where a bunch of people seemed to die. Like Pete's saying, it starts relatively like just regular teen fun movie for three quarters of the book, and then things get messed up by the end in a really big way, spinning out into some mythology. It doesn't feel like a Grant Morrison book at all, I would say- Pete: It doesn't. Alex: … but Justin, what did you think about this one? Pete: It's easy to follow. You can understand. It's impressive. Justin: Well, I think the biggest difference why it doesn't feel very Grant Morrison is the art. The choice of the artist, Naomi Franquiz, is very different, feels very not Grant Morrison, but I think it sort of plays against type a little bit in a good way, because the horror comes at you in such a different way by the end. I feel like you get in the heads of the characters very quickly, and they're all fun, likable, smart characters. Has sort of Scooby Doo vibe with the collection and the era of characters here. Alex: Now, I don't want to jump on you too much, but the artist's name is actually Franquiz, and that's a great segue to start up my Fran quiz. First question. Who played the nanny on the hit TV show The Nanny? Pete: Fran Drescher. Alex: Correct. That was the whole quiz. I can't think of another Fran. I'm sorry. Justin: Oh, that's good. Most famous Frans are Fran Drescher. Pete: I do want to talk about that podcast we were on, at some point. That was kind of crazy. Alex: Let's just skip by that and instead talk about American Vampire 1976 #6 from DC Comics, written by Scott Snyder, art by Rafael Albuquerque. Here- Pete: The Querque. Alex: … shit is going down, and we're heading towards, I would say, the endgame of American Vampire at this point as our heroes finally close in on the thing that's going to let them beat the Tongue, the demonic entity that's trying to take over the Earth, and things go horrifically wrong. I like this issue. I also like every issue of this book. Pete: Holy twists and turns, Batman. This is some shit. Justin: Holy twisted tongue. The Tongue always wins. Can't beat the Tongue. Pete: Yeah. Wow. Yeah. This was very impressive. Alex: That's what I always say to my wife. Pete: Oh, my god. Don't be creepy, you fuck. Yeah. American Vampire just continues to impress. You think like “Okay. I got a handle on what's going on.” Nope. No. You do not. Yeah. I think this is a really solid, great issue. The Querque is just killing it on the art. It's a lot of fun and really crazy and over the top. Justin: Really making that nickname work. What is so great about this book and a lot of Scott Snyder's stuff is he always had another gear. This series, there's such a big cast. It's like “Oh, right. These are all … I remember how all these characters work together,” and in this issue and throughout this series, they've been in an ever-worsening situation, and in this issue, the situation somehow gets much worse, and he focuses the cast down to the characters we care the most about and the twists and turns that happen there. He's masterful at timing the big story moves, and this is another great example of that. Pete: That guy's a great writer. Alex: Good stuff. Deadpool Nerdy 30 #1 from Marvel, written by Joe Kelly, Skottie Young, Kelly Thompson, Fabian Nicieza, Gail Simone, Daniel Way, Gerry Duggan, and Brian Posehn, Rob Liefeld, and Chad Bowers, art by Gerardo Sandoval, Aaron Conley, Kevin Libranda, with Bob Quinn, Patch Zircher, Michael Shelfer, Paco Medina, Scott Koblish, and Rob Liefeld. Basically, anybody that you can imagine having something to do with Deadpool over the years was pretty much involved in this. This was a bunch of short stories all set on different birthdays that Deadpool is happening. We'll turn it over to Pete, our Deadpool expert. Pete: Yeah. This is nice. This is just a who's who that's put their fingerprints on Deadpool coming back to tell some fun stories, and that's exactly what it is. You've got everything from Rob Liefeld making fun of pouches to just insane party birthday things. Yeah. It's crazy. It's Deadpool. It's over the top. It's fun. It's also like the art styles are very different for all these different stories. There's a lot of really funny stories in this, a lot of funny ideas. Yeah. The No Chill story was really fun. Yeah. I believe Deadpool would hide guns in different ice cream shops all over the country. Why not? Yeah. It's a ton of fun. It's a lot of great art, and it's one of those collected stories that I think is worth it. Justin: I've been celebrating Deadpool's birthday every year. So the fact that he's hit 30 is just a real boon. I'm cutting loose like crazy over here. I thought this was fun as well. I want to give it up for the Skottie Young story, Baby's First Cable, which is very fun. Kelly Thompson's Best There Is was really, really good, and the Fabian Nicieza story, I thought, was very good as well. Alex: That's the one that I wanted to call out in particular. The thing that I really liked about this book is it's very easy to do a bunch of goofs with Deadpool, but Fabian went for something much serious and much darker, and I think people forget that Deadpool stories can get really dark sometimes. Pete: Oh, yeah. Justin: Yeah. Alex: So that was great. I was very trepidatious going into this, because I don't usually love collections. They feel like a mixed bag, but they got the right creators working on it, and this is good. If you're a fan of Deadpool at any point in his history, I think this is kind of a must-pick-up. Pete: Yeah. Alex: Next up, Home Sick Pilots #4 from Image Comics, written by Dan Waters, art by Caspar Wijngaard. This is so good. This book is so good. Pick up this book. Justin: It's so much better than it has any right to be, out of the gate just coming out hot with this story about some teens who are in a band, the Home Sick Pilots. They go into a haunted house. One of them becomes this ghost gatherer of these haunted objects, and this is sort of the all fight issue where things are coming to a head. It's so much action. It's beautifully drawn. The premise is so strong, and it has this sort of intense loneliness about it as well that I really like. Pete: Yeah. I mean, if you would have tried to explain this story to me, I'd be like “You're out of your gourd. This doesn't sound good,” but it is so well done, so creative, so different. The art, the storytelling, the paneling … It all works so well. This is such a crazy unique story, and some really unique characters. Yeah. I just continue to be impressed. This is one of those ones where you get it and you're like “Man, I hope it's going to be as good as the last issue,” and it fucking delivers. Alex: I think a lot of it has to do with Caspar Wijngaard's art, honestly, where the character designs are so unique. We talked about this in the last issue, but there's a VHS something ghost, zombie, I don't know, monster. I don't know exactly what's going on, but it's so terrifyingly and beautifully drawn. One of the main ghost is this horseshoe ghost, has a horseshoe head. Again, absolutely terrifying. We find out more about the mythology here. There seems to be an outside group that kind of has maybe ghosts trapped in TVs that are strapped to their chests that are tracking down ghosts. So there's so much going on in this book, but it- Pete: Then the haunted house double-page spread thing was fucking insane. Alex: Beautiful. The fact that everything is very distinct in terms of the look, in terms of the coloring of the book … Fantastic. Pick up this book. I cannot wait for the next issue. Next up, Rorschach- Justin: Don't trust VHS tapes. Switch to Betamax. Alex: I only use LaserDisc, personally. Pete: Oh, wow. Alex: Rorschach #6 from DC Comics, written by Tom King, art by Jorge Fornés. In this issue, we're continuing to work our way back through the history of our cowboy character, who was killed back in the first issue. Here, we find out how she met the Jack Kirby-esque artist who later went on to don the mask of Rorschach. This is good. I was not quite sure about it going in or what was going on, but like we talked about with the last issue, I think that really started to indicate where the story is going and sell me on it. I like this quite a bit. Pete: Yeah. I was a little worried this was going to be like that Eminem song, like “Dear Stan, my biggest fan.” So I'm glad that she didn't kill herself in those letters or whatever, but man, this was a really great idea and well pulled off. I have no idea what's going on in this Rorschach book, but I've been really impressed with all the different issues, and it's the classic King thing where he's like “Oh, yeah. I'm just going to give you just enough information to pick up the next issue.” That guy is a master. Alex: Pete, it's interesting you brought that up, because you know Tom King wrote the Eminem/Punisher crossover that was in XXL. Pete: Oh, I know. It's a fucking great issue, man. Alex: He didn't write that, but … Justin: Wow. Pete took that bait very quickly. Pete: Yeah, but it is a great issue regardless of who wrote it. Alex: Is it? Pete: It was Eminem who wrote it. Justin: I like this issue of Rorschach a lot. I feel like Tom King is trying to say something about American with this book in a really smart, subtle way, almost as if to say … Here's what I think he's picking apart. In the original Watchmen book, it was all about how bringing the world together via the squid monster was a necessary thing to prevent everyone from world war from killing all human, if you were to believe that plan, and this is about how society is drifting apart and what sort of in a very personal in these personal stories, and we get to sort of see that happen in this story following these two characters who are corresponding via letter, and then we're hearing the presidential debate underneath it all, between Robert Redford and the conservative candidate, and it's just really good. I am always excited to see what the next big idea he's getting to is. Pete: I'm not sick of this Robert Redford bit. This is fun. Justin: Not a bit. Alex: Not a bit. It's real. It's happening. Thor and Loki: Double Trouble #1 from Marvel, written by Mariko Tamaki, art by Gurihiru. This is an all-ages title showing Thor and Loki as teens? 20? Pete: Double trouble. Alex: Something like that, and just- Justin: Something. Alex: … playing some tricks on each other and having a good time. I know I'm a sucker for this sort of thing, but what did you guys think of this book? Justin: It's fun. It's fun to see, I mean, the inherent dynamic between Thor and Loki where it's like “Oh, you can't trust Loki,” but Thor always does because Thor's a sucker for Loki. This feels the most natural of that, where they're young, they're sort of daring each other, and it goes instantly and horribly wrong in a fun, all-ages way. Pete: Yeah. I thought this was cute and well done in all the right ways. Even though it's an all-ages, it's still a very enjoyable book to read. It's kind of fun to see them depicted this way and the kind of team-ups and mischief they get into. Yeah. It was a good book. Alex: Next up, from all ages to no ages, Black Hammer: Visions #2 from Dark Horse Comics, written by Geoff Johns, art by Scott Kolins. This is very exciting to me, personally. I don't want to speak for you guys or the world at large, but to see Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins, the team for The Flash and many other things, collaborating on a very hardcore horror book that's set in the Black Hammer universe, I thought, was very neat. I was a little worried about it. I wasn't sure how it would play out, but I thought it was horrifying and well written, and I liked the little twist there. It felt like a Tales from the Crypt episode. I was very happy with how this book turned out. What did you guys think? Justin: Yeah. It felt like just classic, classic comics, comic horror with a lot of great execution. We don't know who the bad guy is right out of the gate, and then it's like “Oh, this is bad. Oh, maybe everything's bad.” It feels like we end in a place where it's just “Oh, this is just awful across the board for everyone,” which is very true to classic horror comics, I think, in a good way. Love the art. This series is so good. Next up, in April we get Chip Zdarsky and Johnnie Christmas teaming up. This has been one of my favorite anthology series to pick up. Pete: Yeah. It was creepy in ways that I wasn't ready for a little bit. It was just like this white dude who has got a POC in the back and gets pulled over by the comics and then is like “Hey. I'm white. So you don't fucking question me,” or whatever. So it just sucked that so far we haven't got any … The poor kid gets really completely fucked over and then turned into something monstrous. I hope that there is a kind of redemption arc for that character a little bit, but yeah. The team and art is unbelievable. Alex: All right. Fair enough. Next up, Superman #29 from DC Comics, written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Sean Lewis, art by Phil Hester and Sami Basri. This is the new era for Superman that Phillip Kennedy Johnson on our live show a couple of weeks back. So it's exciting to finally see it come to fruition. Here, we are finding out about Superman fighting an enemy that he can't quite beat, or at least can hurt him in a certain way, and we find out from his son that this enemy might in fact kill him, which is, I would say, a big deal for comic books. What'd you think about this issue? Pete: Yeah. I mean- Justin: Has the death of Superman ever been a big deal for comics at any point? Alex: I don't remember it in my lifetime. Pete: Yeah. I think that there's some real touching father-son shit going on here, and that Amanda Waller, man. She's up to something. Somebody should be watching her or paying a little bit more close attention, because- Justin: Wow. Strong viewpoint, Pete. Pete: Then there was a weird kind of backup where I was like “This just looks like The Goon,” but yeah. Alex: I don't know. That was Bibbo, right? Pete: Yeah. Yeah. Justin: Bibbo. Alex: Bibbo. Yeah. That was Sean Lewis writing about Bibbo. He's writing this backup story about the other folks that live in Metropolis while the Superman stuff is going on. We get a little Jimmy Olsen. We get a little Bibbo. We got some weird villains. I thought that was fun. Justin, what did you think about this book? Justin: I really like Phil Hester's art. Phil Hester Green Arrow was a book he sort of was on for a long time, and I feel like his style really fits here in the DC universe to me for whatever reason, and I feel like this is … The Johnson Superman era has begun. I've really been liking the work he's done on Superman, and this takes the continuity of Superman and his son sort of both being Superman at the same time and adds this sense of dread over top of it in a way that I thought was just really good, really smart. Alex: It- Pete: Also, it was really impressive how cool Superman was about his own death, and his son knows, but he wasn't going to push him on it. He's really slow playing that pretty well, and I was like “Wow. I would have been like ‘Yo. Fucking son. Tell me when I'm fucking dying here. Help me out. What the fuck. I'm bleeding out my arm and you're being casual.'” Justin: Well, I- Alex: I mean, that feels classic Superman. Justin: Superman feels like … We know his greatest weakness is Kryptonite, but his second greatest weakness is not playing Coney ball with him, which really seems to break his god damn heart. Pete: Yeah. That was heartbreaking. Yeah. Oh, come on, man. Alex: What are the rules there? Pete: If he's dying- Alex: How do you play Coney ball? Pete: … play Coney ball. Alex: Come on. Justin: It's probably a lot of throwing a pine cone while you're flying or something and trying to catch it. Pine cones sharp. Alex: Yeah. Some day. Some day we'll get a game of Coney ball. We'll get the rules. It'll be a lot like Calvinball, but I guess we'll have to find out. Eternals #3 from Marvel, written by Kieron Gillen, art by Esad Ribic. Here, we are finding out more about the Deviants in particular, the antithesis of the Eternals, as they are dealing with a spiraling-out-of-control murder mystery of their own. How'd you feel about this issue? Pete: Well, first off, the art is just glorious. It's really beautiful. Lot of amazing character designs and stuff like this- Justin: It's like someone took- Pete: … the facial expressions. Justin: It's like someone took the … Sorry to interrupt you, Pete. Someone took the- Pete: No problem. Justin: He-Man characters and put them in epic Renaissance paintings. Pete: Yeah. Yeah. Justin: It's so beautiful. Pete: It's really impressive. It's almost like a watercolor tone to it. It's really great. Yeah. I've been enjoying. Eternals really wasn't my bag for a long time, but this new kind of reboot is doing its job in getting me excited about a movie that maybe … I don't know. Justin: Wow. Alex: Good conclusion there. Justin: Way to play it cool. Alex: Strong conclusion. Justin: Playing it very coy. That movie's been announced and talked about for quite some time. Pete: Well, I don't know when it's actually coming out. You know what I mean? So that's why I was trying to be like … Alex: I do think somebody mentioned this on our Patreon Slack that it feels like it's Kieron Gillen's X-Men, and I think that's accurate in a way because he's using these text pages to break everything up, but he's maybe the only person other than Jonathan Hickman that is using that convention in a successful and exciting way. There's a page here where the computer, who narrates the entire book, talks about how many Deviants actually exist, and they kick to a double-page spread of just names of Deviants, and it's like “Page 10 of 7,947,” or something like that, and it plays so well because it's this oh-shit moment of the Eternals … There's probably 10 of them, and they getting killed off, and their enemies, the Deviants, are innumerable at this point. It's great. Justin: Did you guys have any favorites from the Deviant page you wanted to highlight? Alex: [Corbadorbadugal 00:34:14]. Pete: [inaudible 00:34:17] that shout out. Justin: I'm going to give it up for some of my favorites from the page, [Smokewheel 00:34:22], [Bottleshirt 00:34:22], and [Dabgnorts 00:34:25]. Pete: Oh, yeah. Dabgnorts. How could I forget about Dabgnorts? Justin: I went to college with a Bottleshirt. So I feel like I know that dude. Alex: Not to keep plugging stuff, but you can go back a couple of months in our feed, and we talked to Kieron Gillen before he launched Eternals where he talked about it quite a bit. That's in the Comic Book Club feed. So check that out. It was fun to chat with him about this stuff. Alex: Birthright #47 from Image Comics, written by Joshua Williamson, art by Andrei Bressan. We are getting to the endgame here. Here, our heroes are going after people whoa re picking the detritus of the magical battle, the climax that we had finding the God King Lore, and that leads to probably what actually this final arc is about, which is brother versus brother. What'd you think about this one? Pete: [crosstalk 00:35:17]- Justin: Can I love this book more? Can I talk about this book possibly any more in my life? I've given this a shine up on every single issue of this series because I love it so much, and this was great. In the midst, the fact that this is the epic end to this epic story and we still get this great, quiet bar scene between these two warriors talking about just how shit went down and the difficulties of being a rage-fueled werewolf … Did anyone on this podcast identify with that character? Anybody? Any hands going up here? Pete: I'm sure. I'm sure there was a lot of people that did. Alex: Me? Me? Was it me? Justin: You are the rage werewolf of the show. Alex: Okay. Justin: Don't let anyone tell you different. Alex: Awoo. Pete: Yeah. I agree. This continues to just be unbelievable. Yeah. It's crazy because it's like “Oh, I thought this was wrapped up,” but it continues to go on in such an enjoyable way that I don't want it to end, but yeah. I just think this is artistically and creatively one of those books that's going to stand up over time. Alex: I agree. Next up, Pete's favorite book of the month- Justin: Month? Alex: … maybe year, Luna #2 from BOOM! Studios by Maria Llovet. This is about a- Pete: Don't put your weird shit on me, motherfucker. Alex: Listen, man. Maria Llovet makes some gorgeous art. That is what I am going to say. This is about a woman that is getting into a strange cult and getting sucked deeper and deeper. Justin, what did you think about this one? Justin: I like this. It's crazy how much this is like the other book, the Brian Azzarello book. Alex: Faithless. Justin: Faithless. Yeah. Just in almost every way. So it's a little weird to have this being out so soon after we've been talking about the other one, but I like this independent of Faithless. I think this is a good book. It's sort of like the country, the unplugged version of Faithless, where there's a lot of vests with no shirt underneath, looking in old books and playing some fun acoustic guitar. Alex: Faithless too fancy for you? Check out Luna, now from BOOM! Studios. Justin: A hundred percent. Even bad boys have a soft side. Luna, from BOOM! Studios. Alex: Next up, Sweet Tooth: The Return #5 from DC Comics by Jeff Lemire. We are at the second to last issue of this book, a rebooted Sweet Tooth. We find out some big revelations and twists in this issue. Pete, there's a big, angry elephant. What did you think of this one? Pete: Yeah. I really enjoyed the elephant. Yeah. We got the kind of reveal, the evil master plan in this. Yeah. I think it does a great job of leading us, being like “Oh, what's going to … Tune in next time.” Yeah. I think this is a great book. The art's fantastic. It's really raise the stakes. I can't wait to see what happens in the next issue. Justin: Pete, how did you like the zoo? I really enjoyed the elephant. Pete, how'd you like the circus? I really enjoyed the elephant. Pete, how'd you like your safari? I really enjoyed the elephant. That's all I hear from you, Pete. Alex: Hey, Pete. How were your animal crackers? I really enjoyed the elephant. Pete: The elephant. Yeah. Justin: Pete, how do you enjoy- Pete: See, the elephant animal cracker is a little bigger. So you get more cracker. That's why it's more enjoyable. Justin: Pete, how did- Alex: Did you bite off the legs first, or the trunk first? What did you go for? Pete: It depends on the mood, you know? Some days are a trunk day. Other are the legs. Justin: Uh oh. He's in a real trunk mood. Pete: Yeah. Justin: Pete- Alex: Yeah. Oh, I can't eat carbs today. It's trunk day. Justin: Trunk day. Pete, how did you enjoy the animal in the room that no one wanted to talk about? I really enjoyed the elephant. I mean, if you like Sweet- Pete: I love walking into the room and talking about the giant elephant. You kidding me? Justin: Believe me, I've known you for so long I can't hide an elephant in the room with you. Elephant. If you like Sweet Tooth, you're going to like this book. It is a true one-to-one sequel to that book. You don't get to know the characters as well, and it feels like it's taking the ideas and creating a story that has the tension and stress and thriller nature of Sweet Tooth and just playing that hard quickly, and I'm curious what the big point of this will be at the end. Alex: I agree. I think a lot of the proof is going to be in that final issue, and I'm excited to check that out. Next up, The Immortal Hulk #44 from Marvel, written by Al Ewing, art by Joe Bennett. We are back to the good old fucked up Immortal Hulk this issue with things growing out of people's backs and big monsters and things exploding and whatever. That's great. I love it. I love this book. Justin: Yeah. I love this book too. The art is so good, so horrifying. Truly, there's so much just skin stretched- Pete: Oh, fuck. Justin: … in fucked up places. I love it. Alex: I love that this is the sort of book where you can have a green Sasquatch in the desert with Puck, and Rick Jones, who's just like a stretched out neck at this point and a head, is coming out of a radioactive guy, and they're like “Whoa. Whoa. He's not bad. He's not smiling anymore,” and you're like “Yeah. No. No. He's a good guy now.” Justin: Yeah. It was like “I noticed the lack of smile on this horrifying image.” Alex: But it's great. I love that they've gotten this book to a place where they just have this insane mythology where that happens. You have this huge fights with the U-Foes and the Hulk where, spoiler, but they win and they blast the skin off the Hulk in the most horrifying way, leading to a huge cliffhanger at the end there. This is great. Pete, I know you've been a little back and forth on this book. How'd you feel about this one? Pete: I thought it had a really hilarious, amazing, scary, fucked up last page. I think this is a very creative, dark, twisted book. It continues to be enthralling. I'm excited to see how this is going to kind of end or wrap up here, because after that last page, I was like “What?” Alex: This is not actually my problem or anything, but there was a certain sense I got towards the end of this book, because they clearly are heading towards the endgame with Immortal Hulk. I started to feel bad for whoever is going to have to pick up Hulk afterwards, after this run, and be like- Justin: Yeah. Pete: But I think- Alex: … “Yeah. I'm the Hulk. I like to smash things. Boop. Boop.” Pete: No, but I think that Marvel knows that, and I think that you kind of get something that's like “Hey. Your Hulk book isn't always fucked up.” You know what I mean? So it'll be a refreshing, nice Hulk story that we can kind of be like “Oh, yeah. That's right. This Hulk,” and then maybe it'll be something else later, but I think the next thing could be a nice palate cleanser. Alex: No. I agree. I mean, I think all I'm saying is this is such a definitive Hulk run. To come after this, I do not know what you do next at this point. Justin: Yeah. I mean, it does feel like they're setting up … This issue, really, I was like “Ah, I see where we're going.” I'm very excited for that. The U-Foes were great. It's rare to see a story where your hero gets just destroyed in such a fashion, and yeah. I feel like they're going to be like “Okay. How about it's just Hulk smash for a while?” after this. Alex: Next up, Specter Inspectors #2 from BOOM! Box by Bowen McCurdy and Kaitlyn Musto. We love the first issue of this book, which found a bunch of fake paranormal investigators discovering something real paranormal. They track down more paranormal stuff this issue, specifically a ghost in a library. Pete, you're a big Ghostbusters fan. Pete: Yeah. I mean, the classic- Alex: You love a ghost in a library. What'd you think about this one? Pete: Yeah. The classic ghost in the library move. Fun. Yeah. I think this continues to be a really fantastic book, and what's nice is even though it's drawn a little cartoony, there's still some real scary panels going on in here, and I like this kind of group of people that we have working together. It has some heart to it. It's intense, and it's going to be fun to see how this gang kind of gets out of trouble, but yeah, a little nod to the old classic Ghostbusters with the old librarian ghost. Alex: Yep. Justin: Yeah. This book, the art is so great at just expressing the different feelings and emotions these characters are having throughout this story. So it's a really great book that … Great synergy between the writer and artist here, and it's good. It's scary, and it's fun. Pete: It's a bold move to talk to a librarian ghost, because you know she's going to shush you, but they rolled that dice and they took that gamble. Justin: I'd rather talk to a librarian ghost than just a regular living librarian. Pete: Interesting. Alex: Next up, The Amazing Spider-Man #61, AKA stop Spider-Man, from Marvel, written by Nick Spencer, art by Patrick Gleason. This issue, we're getting a brand-new status quo for Spider-Man. This is the much hyped new costume. We find out why he gets the new costume here. Justin, what did you think about this one? Justin: This is such a total shift back to what Nick Spencer was doing before this last big storyline where all this gross stuff happened with Kindred and Sin-Eater and all that, which was so heavy and intense, and this was like “Nope. It's fun again. Boomerang and Spidery just being roommates, screwing around, social media,” all that. So it was a bit of a whiplash jumping into this issue. I like what's happening. It's hard to reconcile with the last six months of Spider-Man. Alex: Pete? Pete: Yeah. I mean, I agree with Justin. This does feel like Whiplash where somebody's yelling at me to play the drums and I really don't want to. I'm looking forward to this thing being over with so can get back to Spider-Man. Alex: For me, this felt like Whiplash in terms of I'm a little more into my bird than Sam Rockwell. Justin: Okay. Alex: So we all had different takes. I liked this. I thought this was fun. Like Justin was saying, I do think it's interesting that they throw in the Kindred thing right at the beginning here. They're clearly not done with it. We're going to come back to it at some point, you'd think. Justin: I just hope we finally get to find out who's underneath the mask. Alex: That would be great. The Last Witch #3, our last book here on The Stack, from BOOM! Box, written by Conor McCreery, illustrated by V.V. Glass. Here, we're getting a witch versus witch battle. That's the hot thing this month. Everybody loves it. Everybody loves seeing witches fighting, and you guys have been loving this book. Pete: Oh, yeah. Justin: I do love this book. This is another one of my favorites of the week. Pete: Yep. Justin: These characters are so good. I'm so behind this young girl who has the witch mark and is battling these badass witches and somehow finding a way to win every time. I really love this. Pete: Yeah. I'm really impressed with this, the art, the storytelling. It's really fantastic. What's great is it's even better than it looks. When you look at it, you're like “Oh, kind of looks adorable. Looks like an all-ages,” but it's not. There's so much going on in this book. It's really fantastic. It's very touching. Plus, you got a badass grandma who smokes cigars. I mean, come on. You know what I mean? Come on. Alex: I knew it. I knew you were going to bring up the grandma. Justin: I knew we'd- Pete: Come on. Justin: … get to Pete's grandma love. Pete: The little kid and the … It's touching. It's badass. It's fun. It's a lot of different things, but the storytelling and the art is glorious, and this book has really been impressive. Justin: At what age are you finally like “Wow. That's what I'm talking about,” when you see a grandma, Pete? Pete: What do you mean? Justin: What age? Is it someone having grandchildren? Or are you like … When you see someone, like an older grandmother woman, is that when you're like “Okay. I want to put a sword in that golden girl's hand”? Pete: Well, any time you see a badass grandma, you think that's a cool grandma. You know what I mean? So I don't know what the age is, but if you saw a grandma rocking a cigar or with a sword or a machine gun, you're going to be like “Hell yeah. I'm on her team. She's on my team. Let's go.” Alex: Pete, that's a real GILF, is what you're saying? Pete: No. No. That is not what I'm saying. Alex: Grandma I'd like to fight with. Pete: All right. You know what, Zalben? I don't know what to do with you. Alex: But I know what to do with all of you. You need to support as at patreon.com/comicbookclub.

Can young Roberta and Tommy Lee help the Man of Steel stop the Klan before lives are lost? Can Superman make sense of his troubling visions and discover the truth about his alien heritage? And can this book find a home in that promised land known as ... The Comics Canon? In This Episode: Do certain story choices diminish the threat of the Klan?

A little bit of a slower week after Labor Day. [crosstalk 00:00:23] chill. Justin: Never. Alex: Never? Justin: Never. Every week when comics come out… Come on, we just had a… We walked through the great desert of comic drought and here we are back, every week's exciting. There's a lot of fun stuff. Alex: I will tell you that in my mind, this is less comics than usual, but just because we did probably 36 comics last week and are doing a little less this week, so there you go. Justin: I think that may be what it is. We're doing just a slightly less number of them. Alex: Yes. We talked for, I don't know, like an hour last week. That was a very long episode of The Stack. But hey, let's see what we get here. Two hours for this one. Justin: Yeah. Let's extend it. Let's offer our thoughts on everything. Alex: And one little business note. Pete is off because he has poison ivy. Now let's get into it. First off, Bill and Ted are Doomed #1 from Dark Horse Comics written by Evan Dorkin and art by Roger Langridge. This is the official prequel to the film Bill and Ted Face the Music. I think it suffered a little bit by switching around of the release schedule of Bill and Ted 3, unfortunately it's coming out afterwards. I talked about this on the live show a little bit. I would just be excited about anything that Evan Dorkin and Roger Langridge are doing together because they're so good. And in my mind, this doesn't disappoint. But how'd you feel? Justin: Yeah, it was fun. I haven't seen the new Bill and Ted movie. I'm not a die hard Bill and Ted guy. I've seen the first two, but I got to say this played almost like Bill and Ted in an Archie comic, in a fun way. It felt just like a fun, almost episodic, touchstone on all the different characters that are in the universe. Yeah, I'm excited to see where it goes next. Alex: It feels like the two dudes who created this are such bit dudes, so they're a perfect field for it. And you get verbal bits, you get little graphic bits from Roger Langridge in the background of things. It definitely, if you haven't seen the third movie, it plays off a lot of the storylines there and sets up those things. So I would highly recommend watching the movie first and then go and read this, because it's not that it ruins bits necessarily for the movie, but it certainly sets up a lot of the plot points there. But this is fun in its own, right. It's Bill and Ted going on a world tour, dealing with the bummer that is their not paying off on the promise of their big concert at the end of Bogus Journey. It's fun stuff. I really enjoyed this issue a lot, particularly for it being like… You could phone in a prequel for a comic like this, but there clearly is a lot of love that went out here. Justin: Yeah, exactly. And like I said, it does that smart thing that a lot of tie-in books do, where it takes one thing about the characters and it just plays on it, as opposed to getting deep into the mythology of a certain thing or just trying to do something new. It's like, here, let's just touch all these things and then push them down the field a little bit, and it does a good job of that. Alex: Next up Dark Nights Death Metal Trinity Crisis #1 from DC Comics written by Scott Snyder and art by Francis Manapul. Now I will say this plays like just another spinoff of Dark Nights Death Metal. This is an essential chapter of the book, I feel like? Justin: 100%. Alex: Which is crazy, but you get Francis Manapul art, you get Scott Snyder doing wild writing. It's great. I mean, we had Scott on the live show two weeks ago or a week and a half ago at this point, and he talked quite a bit about the Dark Nights event. It's just fun to see all of those wild ideas at play here. I liked this issue quite a bit, like I've been liking this series, I think. Justin: I do too. And this is a good distillation of all the characters, as opposed to the main book, which is really grinding the plot forward and having to touch on so many things. This takes the pace down a little bit, I think, and really lets each character give you a little bit of status quo with them. And after hearing from Scott, it was really cool to see all the different, especially the Trinity characters, and the rest of the characters, to see them and look at them through his eyes. Alex: Yeah. I'm curious to see how it plays out in the next issue because there's a big cliffhanger at the end here that feels what he is trying to do with the main series. This is an essential issue, but also with the main series, he's just throwing you into the middle of things. Things have already happened. Between the month that the comics have been released or two weeks or three weeks or whatever, other things have gone on and same thing as here, but here we're getting a glimpse of it and everything is great. Let's move from the middle of an event to the end of an event. I want to talk about these together. We got the very alliterative Empyre Aftermath Avengers #1 from Marvel written by Al Ewing, art by Valerio Schiti, Empyre Fallout Fantastic Four #1 from Marvel written by Dan Slott and art by Sean Izaakse, or Izaakse, I guess. Alex: We were a little mixed, I think, about the Empyre event. This had the Kree-Skrull armada fighting the Cotati, some plant people, bunch of other stuff going on. But here as the title says, it's not as clean as Avengers and Fantastic Four, it's a little mixed together. But the Avengers issue is dealing a lot with Emperor Hulkling, the Fantastic Four issue is dealing a little more firmly with Fantastic Four, as well as some other things and both of them and big teases for the future of the Marvel universe. Given how mixed I was about the Empyre event, I was surprised how much I liked both of these issues. Justin: Yeah, I think these books did a good job of giving us the context that we felt we were lacking with the main event. I feel like with the main event, we were like… The storytelling felt like, “Oh, this is exciting, this is building up to something big.” And then it just was actually sort of a smaller event than we thought. It was a hang out event. Not a lot of characters died and not a lot of status quo stuff was changed. It was like, there's this issue, and now we've resolved this issue. And these give us like, “Well, here's what is different,” a little bit. Justin: And honestly, it's not a ton. But there are great scenes in here. I love this stuff in the Al Ewing written book, Empire Aftermath, where we get the Brand versus versus Captain Marvel stuff. That stuff was really cool. Just seeing the Avengers hanging out and talking. There's a great scene between Captain America and Tony Stark. “I wish we trained them. Registered them. Just kidding. Let's not go there.” That was fun. There were some good moments in here. Alex: The other thing that I really liked about that book in particular is framing Hulkling as a different type of king in the Marvel universe, because we've got Black Panther, we've got Doctor Doom, we've got all of these characters who are very regal and serious and are very “We do what we need to do.” “We do what is best for Wakanda.” “I do what is best for Latveria.” And they frame it as Hulkling is at the beginning of this journey, so he may get to that point. Certainly a lot of people warn him that you're going to get to a point where these choices are going to be impossible, and if you want to be emperor, you need to choose the people that you're representing. Alex: But right now he is an emperor that doesn't necessarily hold back when things need to be done, but he is trying to be more benevolent for that. And that to me, that is a fascinating character to follow going forward, particularly the idea that Wiccan is going to be with him, and it's the sort of thing, I don't know if there's plans for this. I honestly have just not paid much attention to what's coming forward in comics. But if there was a Emperor Hulkling comic, that would be a great character thing to follow. Just the idea of how do you rule two races that have hated each other for millennia and try to do it the right way with your husband by your side? That's great. Justin: Yeah, I agree. And being able to… They're the characters that emerged from this as the most interesting. I like the tags at the end of both of these books, but they are the ones… I would definitely like to see them on a day to day basis, what they're up to, because otherwise most of the characters in this book are characters we know and already like and they're just being themselves. Thor and She-Hulk are officially dating, which I thought was a fun revelation here. Alex: Also, I think this was in this one, I'm kind of mixing them up now, but I love the line after the unofficial Kree-Skrull wedding where the rabbi says, “This is the first outer space same-sex Jewish wedding that I've ever officiated.” But just fun. Just fun stuff. Good times. And the Fantastic Four issue I thought it was very good as well, and also in terms of delineating itself from the Avengers issue, focusing on the history of the blue area of the moon, which has been very key to Marvel universe continuity, working in the unknown that weird Nick Fury robot dude who took over for the Watcher and coming up with a new status quo for him as well. Just a good stuff. It's very clearly following off of Dan Slott's run on Fantastic Four, and it feels of a piece of that, but his run has been good. His run has been funny. He has a good handle of the characters, so this feels fun as well. Justin: Yeah. Agreed. What I also want to just real quick want to say, it was nice that each separate issue, they came out the same week, and really reflected the different writers who have shepherded this project, their tones a little bit differently, and they were able to have their own wrap up. Because Dan Slott I feel was so Fantastic Four focused and got to have the humor of a Spider-Man hanging out and Wolverine talking shop and all that. That was a very Dan Slott thing to do. Alex: Yeah. So good stuff. Even if you were on the fence about Empyre, maybe pick up these two issues so you can have a sense of the new status quo in the Marvel universe. Let's move on to another one. Stealth #5 from Image Comics, written by Mike Costa and art by Nate Bellegarde. Man, I love this book. We've been talking about every issue of this book. This is about a old dark horse, Darkhawk, excuse me, esque superhero, who is suffering from dementia. His son is investigating mysteries that are tied with it. There is an old villain of his who is tied to his origin who is coming after him. This is the issue before the end, so it definitely feels like, even though some big things happened, there's a little bit of a pause there, but particularly with the villain, with Dead Hand, it's so well written and he's so calculated and terrifying at the same time. It's very impressive to read. Justin: Yeah, I was going to say this comic… We've raved about it so much. Its main characters are so well done. And then they take the time and this issue to really establish… The most fun character in this issue is the villain and we get a little bit of origin snuck into the back half of the book, but it was just another great book. Great action. Really well drawn. Everyone's on the same plane. I don't know what's going to happen in this last issue. Alex: I'm very excited to go and get to the end of it. Let's move on to another one that's been great the entire run, Something is Killing the Children #10 from Boom! Studios, written by James Tynion IV, art by Werther Dell'Edera. This is continuing the storyline of a bunch of invisible monsters killing some children. It's fascinating to me that so little and so much happens in every issue of this book. I don't know if you get that feeling as well. Justin: 100%. I get the exact same feeling of like… I'm always like, “Ooh…” This is such a tonal book. It's something that you read where you're just like… You want the taste of it. It's not about a million things happening because the dread they create each issue and those moments of horror and every day… I'm always reminded reading this of the issue where the cop is like, “Hey, I have a bunch of beer in my bag if you want to grab one.” When they're in the impromptu morgue they made in the high school gym, a couple of issues back. And every issue just has those great little details, and then also just a bunch of horrifying action. And this issue has maybe more action than we've seen for a couple. Alex: I have a question for you. When there is a monster comes out and kills one of the children, in your head are you like, “That's the thing that's killing the children.” Justin: No, because I'm constantly, “Is that the thing killing the children?” Because I don't believe… There's something… The mystery they've created here leaves a little bit of like, “Maybe that's not what's killing the children.” Alex: Another great issue of this book, and Werther Dell'Edera's art is so gorgeous. I also love the layouts of this book. I mean, this might be part of getting it digitally, but the fact that they have these huge spreads that are multi panels long, it just feels and reads different from every other comic that I'm reading today. Real good stuff. Moving on to Superman #25 from DC Comics written by Brian Michael Bendis and art by Ivan Reis. This is introducing another new villain for Superman, or maybe ally, we'll see what happens, but it is a race of aliens that we've never met before who are aware of the destruction of Krypton, become concerned about Superman, and then proceed to follow him throughout history. Alex: So we get a parallel, for this anniversary issue, of Superman's entire history through this alien's perspective as well as through Superman's perspective and his relationship with Lana Lang, which we're reestablishing here. I like this issue. I'm cautiously optimistic after big guy with weird lip that I'm forgetting of the name, [Roeger Thargar 00:15:49] or whatever, the other villain that he introduced. There's a lot of returning to the destruction of Krypton and mining that, so I'm cautiously optimistic. Justin: Reading this issue, maybe you want to take a mental check in on Bendis's run in general. What do you think? Because this felt a hard reset and sort of like, “Ah, I don't know, let's start over,” in some ways. And I this issue. It made me really think Superman is going to get with Lana Lang, oddly. In a sort of stressful way of. Alex: That would be fucked up if that would happen. Justin: Agreed. But what do you think this means for Bendis's run in general, or what do you think of Bendis's run in general, reading this? Alex: I appreciate the fact that he's added a lot of new characters to the Superman continuity. That's certainly something that's needed, but this is the absolute worst way of saying this. A lot of reading his run feels like a chore. Like, “I got to read this because he's going to be adding this new thing that people are going to pick up on later on and it's going to affect the rest of DC continuity so I got to know what's going on.” I don't know, it doesn't feel exactly the right fit for Bendis at the same time. Justin: I agree. It feels homeworky, where a lot of it is just so much of laying the groundwork, when it's just like, “What is the story you're telling?” So much of the stuff that came before him, I love so much with Superman, the real Superman family living in Smallville and it was a real family unit, and I was like, “I see what the story is here. It's a family unit rallying around their father/husband who is Superman and what he has to do.” And everyone got to do their own thing. In this it feels like Lois and Superman are always in different places, very busy. John Kent is with the Legionnaires now. It feels like everyone's working so hard and I don't know what's happening. Alex: There seems to be a loss of the core values of Superman in a certain way. And I think it's funny, because that's something that he is trying to hit constantly and trying to work around and trying to reemphasize. And he does get around to it sometimes in his run, like the fight with the Injustice League in Metropolis, which I honestly do not remember whether that was in Superman or Action Comics, was very good and very tense and very dangerous, but then it was interrupted by Leviathan coming in to be like, “Let's stop this fighting.” It feels watching a chess game in a certain way, to get to your point about laying the groundwork. Justin: And that's everyone's favorite activity, is just tucking in and watching some fucking chess. Alex: Yeah. Bobby what's his name. Justin: Yes. Searching for Bobby chess fish. Alex: Moving on to another setup thing though, Ultraman, The Rise of Ultraman #1 for Marvel Comics, written by Kyle Higgins and Matt Groom, art by Francesco Manna, Michael Cho, Gurihiru, Ed McGuinness, and Espen Grundetjern. This is the classic Ultraman hero. We get a front story and a bunch of backup stories. I'll tell you what, I wasn't totally sold on the lead story because I felt it actually did kind of a Bendis thing of deconstructing and decompressing the origin of Ultraman, and by the end of the issue, I was like, “Great, that was the thing that I was curious to see you get to at the beginning of this issue, because I don't know any of these characters or what's going on.” But I really liked the back matter a lot. Justin: Yeah, I agree. It was weird. This story had that confidence of “You know what we're doing here. Look at these characters, they're hanging out, they're screwing around.” And then it sort of ended with “Oh, I don't actually know these characters. I don't know what's happening.” And then I'm like, “Oh, I see. Maybe there's an Ultraman happening here.” But the back matter really set it up, set up the whole thing. The Ultra Q I think was the name of the one that really set up what the deal was and how the Kaiju organization came together. And then they had the fun interspersion of the funnies version of Ultraman. Alex: Yeah, I like that stuff quite a bit. It's certainly a big package in terms of there's a lot of stuff going on in the comic, so I think it's worth picking up potentially for that. Particularly if you're a fan of Ultraman. I don't have a connection to the franchise or anything, so I was a little lost to the lead story, but I'm definitely curious to pick up the second issue and see how that continues because clearly Marvel has put a lot of faith of this. This is a big priority for them. So I'm curious to see where it goes, particularly because it gets to the point you want it to get to at the end of that first issue. Alex: Let's move on to another one, I'm very curious to talk to you about this one, Ice Cream Man Presents: Quarantine Comix Special #1 from Image Comics written by W Maxwell Prince, art by Martin Morazzo, but also by Declan Shalvey and Chris O'Halloran, Deniz Camp, and Artyom Poplin, with Aditya Bidikar, A Ewing, Al Ewing I guess, and PJ Holden, Christopher Cantwell, and Eoin Marron with Chris O'Halloran. So this is a collection of, as the title says, short comics that the Ice Cream Man team published while in quarantine. There are, I believe, four tales of their own, and then four guests tales that go along with it. What'd you think about this book in total and then any particular stories you want to call out? Justin: I mean, this felt like such a good ice cream. Obviously we love… We talk about this book nonstop. It's something that is just a scary comic book that does so much with its stories to create dread, but also there are moments of humor and really make a point. And this felt like a great book that really digested what we're going through right now and recontextualized our own everyday horror and put it in these different storylines in a way that I thought was great, really great. Alex: Yeah. I really like this a lot too. The thing that I was most curious about reading this book is how other people would handle the idea of Ice Cream Man. And of course the lead stories, they capture it perfectly, they're great. They feel exactly Ice Cream Man because it's the team that's doing it. But the one for me that worked perfectly that I could not believe it was the main team not doing it, that was the one by Deniz Camp and Artyom Poplin with Aditya Bidikar. That was the one, if you haven't read it this is obviously spoilers, but it's basically a girl who is looking out through window at the outside world as it's falling apart, whether it's through coronavirus or something worse, like zombie plague, it's not entirely clear. And in the background it certainly seems like her family is falling apart and breaking apart. Alex: And at the same time, she's drawing little pictures on the windows to add things into the landscape and what's going on. And of course, things become more horrible, the drawings take on a life of their own. To me, that was like… This is an Ice Cream Man story. This is exactly what it feels like, particularly in the early days of quarantine, to look outside of the window and see those empty streets. Perfect. Justin: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Being able to really artistically bring that into the comic book form, I thought this whole book just gives that off in a way that I haven't seen anyone do that. How'd you feel about the Animal Crossing? Alex: It was all right. I thought that was okay. I haven't really played Animal Crossing necessarily, but it was like… It's a funny story, but it was too jokey for Ice Cream Man for me, if that tracks? Justin: Yeah, totally. Alex: But yeah, this is a great package. And to your point about the quarantine stuff, I've kind of rankled against anything that talks about quarantine, TV shows that are like, “It's set during quarantine. We filmed it during quarantine. Everybody filmed it on their Zoom cameras,” makes me annoyed and I could care less because I'm living that right now. But this is something that worked for me. Justin: And I think the real smart thing they did is really interpret it as opposed to presented it, and that's what I love about it. I got to give a shout out to the first story, because it's got my man Shakespeare in it. Alex: There you go. Love Shake CW. Justin: Shakes CW. That's how I think. Scholars refer to him in that way. Alex: Back in time. Yeah, great stuff though. Definitely pick that up. Next up Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity #5, excuse me, from DC Comics, written by Kami Garcia, art by Mico Suayan and Jason Badower. We've also talked about almost every issue of this one. This is a more realistic take on Joker and Harley. Joker is a serial killer, Harley is the psychiatrist working with the Gotham PD trying to track him down. This issue, Joker is in her house and she confronts him. This is very well written, but to me, the art is definitely the standout, and it's just gorgeous to look at across the board. Justin: Agreed. The use of color in this is so smart. The different passages we get in black and white with Joker affectation, and then the other sections that come through. But vivid detail in the black and white. And then later we get the sort of the more comic booky feeling normal coloring passages. It's great. And the way they are positioning Joker and Harley here is something that I haven't really seen in a while, and it was great to see joker with a straightforward origin. There's not a ton of like, “He's a ghost from the future,” or whatever. It was nice to see that. Alex: Good book. Definitely pick it up. For adults only. Next up, Web of Venom: Wraith #1 from Marvel written by Donny Cates, art by Guiu Villanova. This is another issue teeing up the big King In Black event that's coming very, very soon. Here we get Wraith, who is in Donny Cates's Guardians of the Galaxy run, dealing with his own symbiote, [Arjun 00:27:03]. Big stuff happens here. This is as tense and big and crazy as usual as we have come to expect from Donnie Cates's Venom run. Good stuff. Justin: This book doesn't… I'm not super familiar with Wraith, but it didn't have any business being this good and interesting and exciting. It's great. It had the vibe of a great Western story, but bringing in all the symbiote continuity, I guess is the way… It's amazing, just in general, that Venom has become this universe spanning continuity. Alex: I don't want to make this one person versus another, but I was struck reading this book, which is something that Donny Cates has already done, where Brian Michael Bendis was like, “Where did the symbiotes come from? The planet Klyntar. That's where they're from.” And the fact that Donny was like, “Yeah, yeah, but also they're the prison for this god Knull. It's not actually their planet or where they come from. It's this other thing,” is in my mind… It's funny that it's a responsible retcon of a retcon, if you know what I mean. Justin: It's funny to be calling out Bendis so hard in this episode of The Stack, [crosstalk 00:28:23], who we like. Alex: Don't come for us, man. Justin: Don't come for us, man. I also want to call out in this book, the art feels like… The pacing of it, the ramping up and coming down. This feels something that could have been a standalone, Western short story, just with this great Marvel universe stuff laid over top of it. Alex: Yeah, it's very good. All of these Web of Venom event things have been very good. Let's move on to another surprisingly good comic, GI Joe #8 from IDW written by Paul Allor and art by Emma Vieceli. I got to say, I went from not caring about GI Joe at all to this being top of my stack every month. This book is great. Justin: We keep talking about it. Pete's not even here and here we are talking about GI Joe comics, because the depth of the world building they're doing here is just so good. Alex: I think my main impression of GI Joe is the 80s cartoon where you have Cobra Commander and it's all very silly and everybody's like, “My name is Ice Cube and shoot ices.” That's pretty much all it is. Justin: Most of the communication is just the them shouting their names, and their names are also what they do. It's a very Pokemon thing for them to do. Alex: And the fact that not only is this team taking the idea of GI Joe seriously, but actually plumbing into their character deaths and making these often excruciating to read character studies about the choices that people need to make in the middle of war, is bonkers. This issue, we get a character who is… Well, the whole setup is Cobra has taken over the world, GI Joe is the underground fighting back, and here we get one of the characters, I'm honestly forgetting which stupid name she has, but she is the Canadian ambassador. She's behind enemy lines. She's starting to fall in love with one of the people from Cobra- Justin: Are you talking about Bombstrike? Alex: Yes. There we go. And the choices that she needs to make across the board where it's like… It's hard to watch. It's hard to read on both sides, when she makes the right choices, when she makes the wrong choices, but that comes down to the writing. The art is good. I really am shocked how great this book is. Justin: Yeah, and continues to impress. It's not just a flash in the pan one story was good. Continues to be great across the board. Alex: Mainly it feels like, and I don't say this to deride the writer or anything, but this feels like if Tom King decided to write GI Joe, what would happen. Justin: That's good. That's a compliment. Alex: Next up, Reaver #11 from Image Comics written by Justin Jordan and art by Niko Henrichon. This follows our fantasy world extreme characters attacking some dudes on a boat. I got to tell you, we've talked about a bunch of issues in this book. It feels like Justin Jordan has finally figured out which characters work, which characters pop, and is just focusing on them, and that in my mind is such a smart decision. Justin: It's really funny in the page, the author page or the artist page, after the cover, we see all the characters who are initially wandering through the wilderness, and I was like, “Oh yeah, remember all those people?” And now it's just gotten down to these few characters that are just kicking ass. Alex: And it's great. I mean, it works. I'm glad they pivoted the book to that. If you have an enormous dude who is impossible to kill and is a crazy murderous barbarian, and a tiny girl with a ghost face and sharp teeth who likes to bite people, focus on them. That's all good. Get rid of the other characters and it's all fine. Justin: Bring out the bitey girl. Alex: But it's good. In terms of being extreme fantasy, I think this is a fun issue. Justin: Agreed. Alex: Last one to talk about, another Evan Dorkin book from Dark Horse Comics Blackwood: The Mourning After #4, art by Veronica and Andy Fish. I'll admit, I haven't really read Blackwood or The Mourning After, but I like this issue quite a bit. This is bunch of people from seemingly a magical school or a magical library who are fighting against somebody. There's some evil masks. The character designs are great. The magic is great. Even knowing nothing about this, I think part of it is that Evan Dorkin is good at plot, Veronica and Andy Fish are great at art, so the issue works even if you don't know anything about it. Justin: The way that the masked person kills people in this is unbelievable. It's horrifying. Every time I was just like, “Huh.” You see their corpse, it's great. Alex: It's kind of amazing reading these two Evan Dorkin Dark Horse books back to back, which I did, Bill and Ted are Doomed and The Morning After #4, because you have one that's like, “Fun times, Bill and Ted, woo.” And the other one's, people's flesh being ripped off their bones. Good stuff. Just very talented guy. Justin: Yeah, I agree. And to be able to work in those two different tones is very cool. Alex: There you go. All right, that is it for The Stack.

En esta oportunidad, Ezequiel y MaGnUs reseñan Harleen (DC, por Šejic y Downie), un origen ampliado para la arlequina desquiciada.

Por último, los tres reseñan El Último Recurso (Libera La Bestia, por Lubrio y Krunch), un comic argentino con unos superhéroes muy extraños... y muy descartables para su gobierno.

Por cierto, Momo es una cantante uruguaya que está haciendo toques en vivo en su instagram, @cami_modele, los domingos a las 20 horas de Uruguay.

Back from the dead once more to bring you more in-depth, scatter-brained schemes in the form of our quirky podcast. Here's our list of favorite media from 2019. P.S. 1. WE FORGOT TO MENTION PROMARE BUT IT IS A GREAT ANIME MOVIE WE BOTH REALLY LOVED IT! 2. Superman Smashed the Klan is drawn by Gurihiru and it is now complete so you can read it all! 3. DCeased Unkillables issue one is also out so you should go jump on that too. This has been a PS
On today’s episode of All Comics Considered, we’re going to talk about comics for all ages. And the reason we’re doing this is that we really do believe in being gate openers into the world of comic books. Grim and dark books simply aren’t going to be appropriate for a younger audience and we feel that they should have something to curl up with on the couch. Marty will be talking about Superman Smashes the Klan written by Gene Luen Yang and art by Gurihiru. In a world that keeps pushing towards a right wing, hateful place, everyone needs to follow Superman’s lead here. Tim picked up David Peterson’s Mouse Guard, and it is a lush fantasy novel that features enticing character development, a feast for the eyes, and elements that reminded him of the Black Cauldron series. Favorite All Ages Books Tim: Mouse Guard W/A: David Peterson Marty Superman Smashes the Klan W: Gene Luen Yang, A: Guirhuru, L: Janice Chiang
So we got so caught up looking at the monsters last month, that we missed out on discussing a very important book that came out last month. Let's make up for that by focusing our new episode on Superman Smashes the Klan #1 from DC Comics. Written by Gene Luen Yang and art by Gurihiru, the book is a cross between the Max Fleischer Superman cartoons of the 1940s and current anime styles from Japan. The story itself is set in the 1940s, as a Chinese-American family moves to Metropolis, but they do not receive a friendly welcome to the big city. This is the first of a three-issue series, and we consider it a must read for all ages! Unfortunately, we were a podcaster down at the time of the recording. John had family commitments, so he left Cullen and Jerry to run the show. Fortunately, we had already invited friend of the show Jim McClain to sit in with us to discuss this book. Jim is the creator of the wonderful Solution Squad comic that combines super-heroes and math - trust us, we need more of those books in the world! If you haven't read Solution Squad yet, it's available to order on Amazon or through Barnes & Noble. And go revisit WCPEver Episode 253 when we interviewed Jim at length earlier this year. We start the show by getting our weekly Pick 3 selections for new books coming out on November 13.

Our first full length Patreon Episode. And all thanks to the lovely people who donated to us. Thank you so much for your help, assistance, and patience. We will try to upload one of these a month, in between our regular programming. These Patreon episodes will focus on the all ages mini-series that started showing up in 2005. They are a lot of fun, but different than the regular continuity, and so we have changed some of the format. In this alternate universe setting, we find slightly older Power kids still figuring things out after getting their powers over the prior summer. And right now their biggest worry is Katie outing them as she uses their origin story as a school report. Marc Sumerak and Gurihiru bring us some truly entertaining stories in an all ages telling of Power Pack!! Make sure to come back next week for our interview with Marc Sumerak! And if you like this story, you can hear more by supporting us on Patreon, https://www.patreon.com/JeffandRickPresent.
Dave Kellett is the guest on my latest installment of the podcast-within-the-podcast, “What's Your Latest?” I talk to experienced creators about their latest project. For Dave, that's the second volume (“Act Two”) of his Drive webcomics series that will ultimately span 1,000 pages and four or five print volumes. Dave is a cartoonist, podcaster, and co-director of the comics documentary Stripped. His strip Drive is almost a decade old, and Sheldon is at its 20th birthday. He also runs multiple Patreons, co-hosts ComicLab (a podcast on making comics and the business of comics), and has run lots of crowdfunding campaigns and produced piles of physical goods. The New Disruptors is back on the air due to patrons and sponsors! You can become a patron of the show on a one-time or recurring basis, and get rewards like an exclusive enamel pin and being thanked in this fashion!Show notes Drive Act Two Kickstarter campaign Read the Drive and Sheldon webcomics Do you like pugs? The Stripped movie about the history (and future?) of comic strips is fantastic, and you can buy it for as little as $5 directly from Dave and his co-director, plus a lot of other options. You can also watch it on Kanopy if your library offers that service. My favorite practical podcast, ComicLab, has a Patreon to offer support and get extras Friend Dan Moren's Caledonian Gambit also has empires that span solar systems with a little James Bond and a little sass Dave has as upcoming guest artists on Drive the two-person team Gurihiru

We're back for a brand new year with a brand new comics series! Following on the successful heels of their Avatar: The Last Airbender graphic novels Dark Horse Comics introduces the official Legend of Korra continuation series. The first story arc is called “Turf Wars” and it's written by original series co-creator Michael Dante DiMartino with art by Irene Koh. To go along with all the new we here at The Avatar Returns are trying a slightly new format in that we'll be reviewing these books as they are initially released rather than waiting for the hardcover Library Edition collections. So in this episode we tackle Part One (of Three), and I confess that we struggle just a little bit. Picking up immediately where the animated series left off we follow Korra and Asami on their getaway into the spirit world, and while it's wonderful to see these characters again the return isn't quite as smooth as we may have hoped. Paul and Arlo are worried about a seeming return to Book One hotheaded impetuous Korra; Koh's art is a significant change from Gurihiru in the ATLA books; there's talk of the Dumbledoring of Kya; and Eric will not condone a course of action that will lead us to Turf War. (That's a joke, he actually loves this book.) The Breakdown Intro / Banter (00:00 - 04:00) Main Topic (04:00 - 1:11:23) Outro / Next (1:11:23 - 1:13:50) Links The Ungrounded Turf Wars of Legend of Korra
We're baaaaack. But there's no cause for celebration as we're forced to bid a sad farewell to our beloved comics creative team. One last time writer Gene Luen Yang and art duo Gurihiru spin a tale of Team Avatar for the official tie-in graphic novel series from Dark Horse Comics. Vol. 5: North and South sees Sokka and Katara return home to the Southern Water Tribe for the first time since setting off with Aang to end the Hundred Years War. But what they find may not be the quaint, egalitarian village they remember. As each volume before it, North and South explores issues of modernization, nationalism, societal and technological development. But for the first time our hosts don't all necessarily agree on the quality of the story and/or art. One of them may or may not spend much of the podcast talking about loving the book while consistently nitpicking practically everything about it. Which one of them is being an Arlo? Press play and find out! Also, there's talk of “therapybending,” David Lynch's inevitable contribution to the World of Avatar, spoilers for Lion King(?!?), and Tattoo Watch is officially over as someone earns their ink. Next: there's a change coming as the boys talk about how to continue the podcast in light of the glacial pace of new comics being released. There's quite a bit of discussion at the end of the episode about what to do about that, but I'll go ahead and spoil some of it for you now and let you know the next thing we'll be discussing will be the first individual volume of the Legend of Korra graphic novel series Turf War. Date TBD. The Breakdown Intro / Banter (00:00 - 15:15) Main Topic (15:15 - 1:48:15) What Does the Podcast Become Now? (1:48:15 - 1:57:05) Outro / Next (1:57:05 - 2:00:12)
With Dr. McNinja recently wrapping up and Gwenpool going strong, we asked Christopher Hastings to come by and talk about his work on both, as well as topics including breaking the fourth wall, collaborating with Gurihiru, how it feels to end a long-running webcomic, bringing real-world characters into a comics world, explaining characters who may not exactly be what they seem on the surface, and much more! Plus, Chris and Matt take a listener question!
Today, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester return with yet another a two and a half hour chatstravaganza about topics big and small, hypothetical and Concrete (although there is strangely not talk whatsoever of the comic Concrete.) We do however discuss the first issue of Metal by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, My Pretty Vampire by Katie Skelly, Doomsday Clock, the Ballad of Halo Jones, Spider-Gwen #23 by Hannah Blumenreich and Jordan Gibson, The Unbelievable Gwenpool by Christopher Hastings and Gurihiru, 10 Dead Comedians by Fred Van Lente, and much, much more!

The first two volumes of Dark Horse Comics' Avatar: The Last Airbender graphic novel series both dealt with the difficulty of change, the cost and confusion that comes with transition. Volume 3: The Rift is no different as Aang continues to struggle with letting go of the past and learning to live in the present. The young Avatar slept through an entire lifetime while frozen in that iceberg, and in this time of peace following the end of the Hundred Years War he wants nothing more than to recapture the traditions of his culture now a century gone, but the world has moved on. And speaking of moving on, Toph must come face to face with her own past as she is unexpectedly reunited with her father, and both must come to terms with what, if anything, has changed between them. Writer Gene Luen Yang and art duo Gurihiru continue to impress with their masterful translation of these characters and themes from screen to page. And is there anything more fun that podcasting with one third of the crew under the influence? (Rhetorical question. There are lots of things more fun.) Next: The Avatar Returns takes another brief hiatus, this time to allow one of the hosts to go on a walkabout or something. (A booze-about is more likely.) But we'll be back late-September to kick off our run through The Legend of Korra Book Three: Change. The Breakdown Intro / Banter (00:00 - 08:30) Main Topic (08:30 - 1:38:50) Outro / Next (1:38:50 - 1:43:39)
The Legend of Korra Book Two: Spirits finally meanders to it's somewhat muddled but more-or-less satisfying status quo-shattering conclusion with the final three chapters; 212, "Harmonic Convergence," 213, "Darkness Falls," and 214, "Light in the Dark." We discuss the season highlights (Tenzin, Nuktuk, Varrick) and lowlights (the Water Tribe civil war, the dumbing down of Lin Beifong), and which characters were best or underserved. How does Unalaq stack up against other villains? (Spoiler: he's the boringest!) Azula evolves into her ultimate form as the Spirit Mushroom. Arlo gets Seed of Wondered by the Tree of Time. And the whole shebang wraps up with Korra's Krazy Kosmic Kaiju battle! Also, this episode is late and it's Arlo's fault, and we whine about our first world podcast problems. Next: a break between books of Korra means another book of the Dark Horse Comics graphic novel continuation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. So next week we look at Gene Luen Yang and Gurihiru's third installment, Volume 3: The Rift. So join us for that...we'll leave the spirit portal open for ya. The Breakdown Intro / Banter (00:00 - 06:30) Main Topic (06:30 - 1:26:45) Outro / Next (1:26:45 - 1:29:38)
Jay and Mike recommend "Black Hammer" and "The Unbelievable Gwenpool," and then for some reason we're talking about Batman & Superman fighting again, even though I think we've had quite enough of it. Also, we play "Super-Mundane," and ask who would be the best... pilot? That's a mundane task, right? Pull List: Jay: “Black Hammer" (Dark Horse) written by Jeff Lemire, art by Dean Ormston. Mike: “The Unbelievable Gwenpool" (Marvel) written by Christopher Hastings, art by Gurihiru. Main Segment: "World's Finest" #143, "The Feud Between Batman & Superman!"

This week The Avatar Returns returns to the Avatar. We continue our discussion of Dark Horse Comics' ongoing Avatar: The Last Airbender graphic novel series with Volume 2 - The Search. We talk about how the shift from the larger, more epic story told in Volume 1 - The Promise to this much smaller, more intimate tale works for us, and more importantly for the characters. Whereas the previous book explored issues we didn't even know we wanted to explore, such as colonialism and cultural appropriation, this book focuses on the bonds of family, born and found, particularly the relationship between brothers and sisters. It also addresses ideas of identity, be they physical, societal, or emotional. We praise writer Gene Luen Yang's astounding gift for continuing and building on this world and these characters we've come to love so much. And we wax embarrassingly rhapsodic about the work of art duo Gurihiru, which just keeps getting better with every volume, every chapter, every page. There's also banter this week. We say just a few words (for now) about the first season of DreamWork's Voltron: Legendary Defender, and we say way too many words about "adult" coloring books. Seriously, no one cares as much about these things as at least one of our hosts apparently does. Next: we take a week off in a desperate attempt to prepare ourselves for the following week's watch of director M. Night Shyamalan's 2010 "masterpiece," The Last Airbender. (We promise, The Legend of Korra Book Two is coming. Assuming we survive this.) The Breakdown Intro / Banter (00:00 - 16:30) Main Topic (16:30 - 1:52:42) Outro / Next (1:52:42 - 1:54:56)
The show may have come to an end, but the Aang Gang lives on as we take this opportunity to discuss "The Promise," the first collected volume in Dark Horse Comics' official graphic novel series continuing the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Written by Eisner and Harvey Award winner Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese; Boxers & Saints), with art by Japanese duo Gurihiru, "The Promise" picks up right where the animated series left off, but quickly demonstrates that the happily ever afters we saw in "Sozin's Comet" may be a lot more nuanced and complicated than we thought. We talk about the book's exploration of colonialism and cultural appropriation; how Aang's true role as the Avatar, maintaining balance between four autonomous nations, may prove a greater challenge than defeating a single clearly-defined enemy; how well the author captures the voices of the characters, and how it all transitions from fluid animation to the static art form of comics. Oh, and we add another title to the growing list of spin-off series we want to see: That's So Toph! Next: time marches on. 70 years to be exact. And with the passing of an age comes the birth of a new Avatar, with new friends, new enemies...it's a whole new world! Join us as we discuss The Legend of Korra chapters 101, "Welcome to Republic City," and 102, "A Leaf in the Wind." The Breakdown Main Topic (00:00 - 1:10:45) Outro / Next (1:10:45 - 1:13:00)

It's almost Valentine's Day, so after Jay and Mike recommend "Ant-Man" and the "Avatar: The Last Airbender" sequel comics, we explore a weird story of love, marriage, and demonic contracts (again?) as Mike busts out an old issue of "Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane!" Then, in this episode's "Super-Mundane," we ask who would be the best - and the worst - at writing greeting cards? Jay: "Ant-Man" (Marvel), written by Nick Spencer, art by Ramon Rosanas.
