Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future. This week we are joined by Scott Koblish who has done just about every job imaginable in the comics industry, although fans of this podcast likely know him as the artist for Deadpool, X-Men '92 and those amazing 60th anniversary of the X-Men covers. We talk about the first comic he ever read - Uncanny X-Men 138 - which is a perfect onramp for anyone wanting to know about the 1960s/1970s X-Men. Also in this episode: Cyclops can fit his life inside a small laundry bag the funeral of Jean Grey! Cyclops longs to be as emotionless as Cerebro Colossus is necessary...for standing in the background or being in the foreground if you need to punch someone the classic moment where Cyclops convinces all of the Sentinels to go fight the sun Kitty Pryde shows up to the first day of school in a b*tch t-shirt What does any of this mean for Scott's future? Well, this episode is one part X-Men Horoscope, one part insider look at how the comics industry works. Tune in for more! Scott Koblish is an American Comic-book Artist who has worked on hundreds of comics for Marvel, Disney, Image, Dark Horse, Valiant, Boom and DC Comics. At Marvel, Scott worked on nearly every title they publish and just listing those titles would provide such a ridiculously long set of words that gazing upon it would make your eyes glaze over and your head hurt if he subjected you to it, but he had a 6-year run on Deadpool, where he co-created Deadpool 2099, so at least something he drew will likely outlive his heirs. At DC, he pencilled and inked Batman: Gotham Nights, DC: Primal Age, Titans: Giant, Aquaman: the Becoming, and Flash Annual 2024 and How To Draw DC, and worked with George Pérez as an inker on Wonder Woman, Worlds' Finest, The Brave And The Bold and Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds and inked Keith Giffen's OMAC run. He is also the author of the book The Many Deaths of Scott Koblish.

In this Half Baked edition of Comics and Chronic, Anthony and Jake talk about their experience at LA Comic Con! But first, is Godzilla: Minus One the best Godzilla movie Jake has ever seen? Do we stand on business? Is Kevin Smith coming on the podcast? Did anyone know Kevin Smith would be at the con? What did we think of the Cancer and Comics panel that Kevin Smith moderated? Do we connect most with guests that are in both the comic book and entertainment industry? Does Rodney Barnes (Killadelphia; Winning Time) have his own horror podcast that we want to cover on an episode? Was Matt Bors (The Nib; Justice Warriors) the first person we talked to at the con? When did the edibles hit? Did Chip Zdarsky sketch a (legally) high Hulk for Anthony? How do most creators react when we tell them about Comics and Chronic? Who were we surprised to find out was a stoner? Are we planning to have Josie Campbell (The New Adventures of Shazam; My Adventures with Superman) on the pod? Did we immediately click with Tini Howard (Excalibur; Catwoman)? Are we making “stand on business” business cards? Did Cody Ziglar (Miles Morales: Spiderman; She-Hulk) put a Pesci sticker on his laptop? Did we meet artist Ryan Ottley? Was Aubrey Sitterson (The Stoned Master; Beef Bros) one of the funniest creators we met? Was this Anthony's first time in LA? Did Jake see GaTa from Dave at the movie theater? What do we respect about our conversation with Dan Slott? Has Dan Slott been playing Spider-Man 2 on PS5? Did we both pick up Stray Dogs comics from Tony Fleecs? Are we planning an episode on Local Man too? What comic did Anthony recommend to Jake that almost made him lose all respect for Anthony? What's the comic book Twitter discourse of the week and how do we feel about it? How is Mark Millar involved in all of this? Is it empowering a toxic part of the comic book community? Should that part of the comic community get fucked? Do the guests we've had on the pod prove that diverse, personal stories succeed in comics? How did Anthony feel about In-N-Out Burger? Did we talk to former guest of the pod Scott Koblish? Were there any weed comics we found at the con? Should our super-talented artist pal Joey Murphy go to cons to sell his art? Was former WWE superstar Rikishi at the con and will he be joining us on the pod to talk about his first comic book with Eric McElroy Jr.? Has anyone ever mentioned Rikishi and Joe Pesci in the same sentence? Did we buy LEGOs at the con even though we aren't LEGO people? Was Timmy Heague (Archie - Fear the Funhouse: Toybox of Terror) one of the coolest creators we talked to at the con? Was 2023 the year Anthony became an Archie fan? Did we get to play the new video game Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch at the con? Did we learn about Elijah Woods new comic with Spectrevision at L.A. Comic Con? Is Cody a good father? Did Jake fall asleep during one of the panels? Are we going to more comic cons in the future? Will the boys of Comics and Chronic be part of the Red Eye Comedy Festival Cody is organizing in West Virginia in April? Did Anthony run into Willem Dafoe on his flight home? What did we think of the cosplay at the con? Would Jake be able to figure out Spider-Man's identity if he was in the Marvel universe? Did we have some intense rounds of Super Smash Bros?

Cartoonist Scott Koblish returns to the Hypothetical Island! First, we bust the format for the first ever episode of Hawk Tawk-- all Hawkman, all the time! Then  Scott, Reilly and George have a wide-ranging discussion about what constitutes a hobo, how best to rule through fear, bad odor etiquette,  why you should never, every challenge Scott in a amount-of-characters-on-a-cover-contest, and what it was like to work with Stan The Man Lee. 

A career spanning over 30 years, Scott shares stories about how he made it into the Guinness World Records (and about to beat his old record), working on the Waid/Garney Cap series and his reaction to being replaced by Rob Liefeld, working with legends like George Perez and John Buscema, the details he likes to add into stories in the backgrounds and answers the debate on which arm Steve carries his shield...

Full Episode Transcript: Alex:                 Hey. 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.

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