If you were a 90s kid, Bobbie Chase may be one of the first editors you ever knew the name of. She was omnipresent in the pages (especially the letter pages) of Peter David's 10-year run on The Incredible Hulk. But more than that, she found the most amazing talent (including Salvador Larroca and Jamal Igle) and was amazingly empowering of that talent to do their best work. Overseeing a legendary slate at Marvel that included titles like G.I. Joe, Captain America, Iron Man, Sensational She-Hulk, Thor, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, X-Force, Doctor Strange, Spirits of Vengeance, Morbius, Blade, Elektra, Alpha Flight, the Marvel/Paramount Comics Star Trek line, and more, Bobbie was an editorial force of nature. She was in charge of the Marvel Edge imprint, edited the Heroes Return limited series, and later joined DC, where she edited Batman titles and went on to become Vice President of Talent Development. She was most recently at WEBTOON Unscrolled (when this interview was recorded) but is no longer with the company.You can follow Bobbie on X @bobbiechase._____________________Check out a video version of this episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits.If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Comment She-Hulk a-t-elle définitivement modifié la perception de la réalité dans l'univers Marvel à cause d'une publicité pour un parfum qui n'a jamais existé ? Aujourd'hui, je m'intéresse à une histoire que vous pensez sûrement connaître, mais qui vous réserve encore bien des surprises ! GIRLS GONE GREEN Nous sommes en 1979, et la série télévisée L'Incroyable Hulk, avec Lou Ferrigno et Bill Bixby, cartonne sur le petit écran. Le producteur Kenneth Johnson ; déjà derrière le spin-off de L'Homme qui valait Trois Milliards, Super Jaimie ; et Stan Lee, que l'on ne présente plus, ont alors la même idée : offrir à L'Incroyable Hulk une série dérivée mettant en scène un personnage féminin. Voulant assurer les arrières de Marvel Comics en matière de propriété intellectuelle, Stan Lee prend les devants et demande au dessinateur John Buscema de l'aider à créer une version féminine de Hulk. C'est ainsi que Jennifer Walters apparaît en novembre 1979 dans le premier numéro de The Savage She-Hulk. Bruce Banner, alias Hulk, fugitif traqué par toutes les polices, débarque à Los Angeles pour retrouver sa cousine Jennifer, devenue avocate, dans l'espoir d'obtenir son aide. Après lui avoir raconté comment il a été irradié par sa propre création, la bombe gamma, qui a fait de lui un monstre incontrôlable, Banner apprend que sa cousine défend un voyou mêlé malgré lui aux malversations du caïd Nicholas Trask. Or, ce fameux Trask compte bien faire taire la jeune avocate, et envoie ses hommes de main pour l'assassiner. Grièvement blessée par balle, Jennifer ne doit son salut qu'à une transfusion sanguine de fortune effectuée par son cousin Bruce, avec son propre sang radioactif. Ainsi, quand Trask envoie de nouveau ses larbins pour définitivement éliminer Jennifer en convalescence à l'hôpital, ces derniers ont la mauvaise surprise de la voir se transformer en géante musculeuse à la peau verte ! She-Hulk est née ! Désormais dotée d'une force colossale et d'une résistance à toute épreuve quand elle se transforme, tout en étant beaucoup moins bestiale que son cousin, Jennifer va prendre goût à cette nouvelle condition, si bien qu'elle restera sous sa forme de She-Hulk la majeure partie du temps. Utilisant ses pouvoirs pour combattre l'injustice et venir en aide aux plus faibles, elle va, sous la plume de David Anthony Kraft et le crayon Mike Vosburg, enchaîner les aventures super-héroïques, mais aussi sentimentales. Annulée après seulement vingt-cinq numéros, The Savage-Shulk est une série largement mésestimée, principalement en ce qui concerne le travail du scénariste David Anthony Kraft, qui adopte rapidement un ton très moderne dans le traitement de l'héroïne, en faisant un personnage qui assume sans complexe son statut hors-normes et ne manquant pas d'aplomb quand il s'agit d'imposer ses choix. De ce fait, bien que rarement cité, The Savage She-Hulk mérite que vous y jetiez un œil, car ce comic book a plutôt bien vieilli. C'est d'ailleurs au cours de ses premières tribulations que Jennifer Walters rencontre Ben Grimm, alias La Chose, des Fantastic Four, donnant naissance à une amitié qui mènera notre géante de jade à rejoindre l'équipe de Reed Richards en remplacement de Grimm après les événements du crossover Secret Wars en 1984. Et si l'hypothétique spin-off télévisé ne verra finalement jamais le jour, She-Hulk va faire son petit bonhomme de chemin dans l'univers Marvel, rejoignant notamment les Avengers et croisant régulièrement la route de son cousin Bruce. YOU'RE KIDDING, RIGHT ? Malgré cela, She-Hulk conserve pour beaucoup de lecteurs l'image d'une énième version féminine d'un héros masculin, comme Ms Marvel et Spider-Woman chez Marvel, ou Supergirl chez DC Comics. Mais tout cela va radicalement changer grâce à un artiste : John Byrne. Figure incontournable de la bande dessinée américaine, ayant œuvré sur les X-Men ou Alpha Flight chez Marvel, sur Superman et Wonder Woman chez DC, et à l'origine de créations originales comme les Next Men chez Dark Horse, John Byrne a littéralement transformé de nombreuses icônes des comics dans les années 1980 et 1990. Visionnaire, son travail est empreint de thématiques sociales, politiques et technologiques, précédant parfois de plusieurs années les tendances, sans oublier d'adjoindre un regard critique qui invite le lecteur à la réflexion. Aux commandes de la série Fantastic Four de 1981 à 1986, Byrne va y mettre en scène She-Hulk, et également lui consacrer un graphic novel en 1985, avant de prendre en main la série The Sensational She-Hulk à partir de 1989. Dès la couverture du premier numéro, Byrne annonce la couleur. Jennifer Walters s'y adresse directement au lecteur, menaçant de déchirer leur collection de comics X-Men s'ils n'achètent pas sa série. Le ton est donné : She-Hulk est devenu un personnage conscient de sa condition d'héroïne de comic book et elle va dorénavant régulièrement briser le quatrième mur. Le quatrième mur est une notion venant du théâtre, selon laquelle il existe un mur invisible séparant la fiction jouée sur scène et le public. Notamment théorisée par Denis Diderot en 1758 dans Le Discours sur la Poésie Dramatique, elle a ensuite été développée par de nombreux auteurs, principalement dans le théâtre réaliste, admettant qu'il est également possible aux personnages d'une pièce de passer outre ce quatrième mur pour s'adresser directement au spectateur, pour un aparté qui renforce l'aspect comique ou dramatique de la situation, par exemple. La notion de quatrième mur s'est ensuite élargie à d'autres supports, du cinéma au jeu vidéo en passant par la bande dessinée. L'un des premiers exemples concrets au cinéma est le film muet The Great Train Robbery, réalisé en 1903 par l'Américain Edwin S. Porter, se terminant par un plan extrêmement avant-gardiste dans lequel on peut voir un homme tirer en direction du public. Une scène qui a fait sensation lors des projections, effrayant même quelques spectateurs ! Parmi les nombreux personnages de film ou de série capables de briser ce quatrième mur, on pourra citer Néo dans Matrix ; Ferris Bueller, qui a ensuite inspiré la série télévisée Parker Lewis ne perd jamais ; mais aussi les Animaniacs ou encore Malcolm. Du côté des comics, on retrouve cette faculté à différents niveaux chez Howard the Duck, Deadpool, ou Animal Man. Bien entendu, l'objectif principal est de produire un effet sur le spectateur, généralement pour préciser un contexte, renforcer l'immersion, ou bien tout simplement pour le faire rire. Cette notion acquise d'être un personnage capable de passer outre le quatrième mur va permettre à peu près tout et n'importe quoi à Jennifer Walter au cours des soixante épisodes que compte The Sensational She-Hulk : interpeller les lecteurs, sauter de case en case et traverser les pages de publicités, menacer John Byrne lorsque les choix artistiques de ce dernier lui semblent mauvais pour les ventes de la série, et même assister au démontage du décor dans le tout dernier numéro, dont la couverture fait d'ailleurs écho à celle du premier. Un répertoire de gimmicks astucieux qui trouvent pour beaucoup leur source dans une rencontre que Jennifer va faire dans le quatrième numéro de The Sensational She-Hulk. GOLDEN AGE GUEST STAR Si les débuts de la série jouent gentiment avec le quatrième mur ; comme lorsque She-Hulk reproche à Byrne de lui faire affronter les Toad Men, référence méta au deuxième numéro de The Incredible Hulk paru en 1962 dont elle se moquait en couverture ; le quatrième épisode place un nouveau personnage inattendu sur la route de notre héroïne : Louise Grant Mason. Louise explique à Jennifer que dans les années 1940, elle était Blonde Phantom, une justicière costumée combattant le crime. Blonde Phantom est un vrai personnage de bande dessinée, dont les aventures ont été publiées par Timely Comics, l'ancêtre de Marvel, à partir de 1946. Créée par le scénariste Al Sulman et par le dessinateur Syd Shores à la demande de Stan Lee qui trouvait que les publications Timely manquaient de super-héroïnes, elle fait sa première apparition dans All Select Comics #11, un périodique qui sera d'ailleurs renommé Blonde Phantom dès le numéro suivant. Secrétaire du détective Mark Mason, Louise Grant revêt un loup et une robe de soirée rouge du meilleur effet pour devenir la justicière Blonde Phantom et ainsi aider son patron à résoudre les affaires les plus corsées. Bien que dépourvue de super-pouvoirs, elle combat tour à tour d'anciens nazis, un inventeur monté sur des chaussures à ressorts, un savant fou venu du futur, et même son sosie remodelé par un chirurgienne peu scrupuleuse ! Alors qu'elle en pince pour Mark, Louise est totalement invisible aux yeux de ce dernier qui, ignorant la double identité de son employée, lui préfère Blonde Phantom. Une romance largement inspirée de la relation entre Loïs Lane et Clark Kent, pour ne citer que l'exemple le plus célèbre, et qui aura tendance à largement minimiser le rôle de Louise, systématiquement ramenée à sa condition d'assistante dans un monde gouverné par les hommes. Le personnage va rencontrer un certain succès, s'exportant dans les pages de Marvel Mystery Comics aux côtés de Captain America, Namor ou de la première Torche Humaine, mais aussi dans les comic books mettant en scène d'autres super-héroïnes du Golden Age, comme Sun Girl ou Namora. Et, sans trop s'avancer, on peut affirmer que Blonde Phantom est un personnage plutôt populaire chez Timely Comics à l'époque. La série Blonde Phantom va durer jusqu'au vingt-deuxième numéro, en 1949, avant que la publication ne soit finalement renommée Lovers, manifestation de la fin de l'âge d'or des super-héros costumés, peu à peu remplacés par des genres comme la Romance, le Western ou l'Horreur après la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il faut donc finalement attendre 1989 pour revoir Louise Grant dans le quatrième numéro de The Sensational She-Hulk. Elle y apparaît plus âgée, et surtout, on apprend qu'elle s'est mariée avec Mark Mason en 1949, juste après l'arrêt de la publication de sa série, adoptant ainsi officiellement le nom de Louise Grant Mason. En discutant avec elle, Jennifer comprend qu'au fil du temps, Louise est devenue pleinement consciente d'être un personnage de bande dessinée et qu'elle est persuadée que si elle ne ressemble plus à la Blonde Phantom des années 1940, c'est parce que sa série a été annulée par l'éditeur. Oubliés du public, elle et Mark se sont alors mis à vieillir, jusqu'au moment où le décès de son mari l'a poussée à retrouver un emploi pour devenir un personnage secondaire de la série She-Hulk, et ainsi échapper au même destin funeste. On ne s'en rend pas forcément compte au premier abord, mais la théorie de Louise ; et donc, par extension, de John Byrne ; répond de façon assez brillante à la question récurrente du non-vieillissement des personnages de comics. Pour elle, les personnages ne vieillissent pas tant qu'ils apparaissent dans les comics, et cette explication très méta n'est finalement pas plus farfelue que celles qui se baseraient sur des temporalités plus ou moins compressées. Mais elle ouvre aussi la porte à une quantité infinie de mindfuck, car étant donné que Louise pense cela parce qu'elle a conscience d'être elle-même un personnage de comics, elle est peut-être finalement responsable de son propre vieillissement. Ça en devient vertigineux. SMELL LIKE BLONDE PHANTOM Mais notre histoire ne s'arrête pas là. Car Blonde Phantom elle-même possède une origine pour le moins étrange. En effet, si la super-héroïne apparaît bel et bien pour la première fois dans All Select Comics #11, un autre personnage a porté le même pseudonyme quelques semaines plus tôt dans un contexte totalement différent. Créée par Ruth Atkinson pour Timely Comics en 1945, Millicent Collins, alias Millie the Model, est un jeune mannequin dont les aventures, entre romance et humour, vont connaître une longévité assez exceptionnelle. Fruit des demandes de l'éditeur Martin Goodman, qui cherchait à surfer sur le succès des séries dérivées de l'univers de Archie publiées par son concurrent MLJ, Millie the Model va occuper les présentoirs des kiosques américains jusqu'en 1973, et va même connaître plusieurs spin-offs. Dans l'une des courtes histoires présentes au sommaire du deuxième numéro, paru en juillet 1946, Millie se voit confier la mission de poser pour une publicité vantant le mérite d'un tout nouveau parfum : le Blonde Phantom. Elle qui ne rêve que de gloire et de paillettes est alors totalement anonymisée derrière un masque et une robe noire à pois rouges, ne pouvant pas profiter des retombées du succès du fameux sent-bon pour faire décoller sa carrière ! Vous l'aurez compris, exception faite du cadre et des enjeux, cette Blonde Phantom ressemble drôlement à celle qui prendra conscience de son statut de personnage de comics quelques décennies plus tard. Qu'une justicière costumée apparue seulement à deux mois d'intervalle chez le même éditeur porte exactement le même nom et un costume vaguement ressemblant pourrait très bien être une amusante coïncidence, tout comme le fait que Millie et Louise partagent pas mal de points communs, dont celui d'être ignorées par un love interest qui est aussi leur supérieur hiérarchique. Mais les similitudes ne semblent plus si fortuites quand l'on découvre que Al Sulman, le co-créateur de la super-héroïne Louise Grant, relisait régulièrement de nombreux scripts pour Timely. Tandis que Ken Bald, dessinateur sur Millie the Model, comptait parmi les artistes au sommaire du numéro de All Select Comics où apparaît pour la première fois Blonde Phantom, cette fois au dessin des aventures de Miss America. Si l'on ne peut définitivement rien affirmer, on peut au moins supposer que l'idée d'une redresseuse de torts en tenue de gala traînait depuis quelque temps dans les cartons des équipes créatives de Timely Comics, et que la demande de Stan Lee a été l'opportunité de lui donner vie pour de bon. Une vie qui fut longue et bien remplie pour Louise Grant Mason, principalement parce que son retour dans les pages de She-Hulk va inspirer d'autres artistes. Car, comble du méta à la sauce Byrne : en sortant de sa retraite pour ne pas mourir oubliée du lectorat, Blonde Phantom est devenue elle-même responsable du renouveau de son statut au sein de l'univers Marvel et de l'enrichissement a posteriori de son background et de son passé de justicière. Steve Gerber et Buzz Dixon, remplaçant au pied levé John Byrne éjecté de The Sensational She-Hulk par un Tom DeFalco irascible, donneront à Louise une héritière costumée en la personne de sa fille Wanda, qui deviendra l'héroïne Phantom Blonde. Et la magie de la rétro-continuité lui permettra même de vivre des aventures à rebours, comme dans la mini-série Avengers 1959 de Howard Chaykin, parue en 2011. John Byrne reviendra finalement sur The Sensational She-Hulk, continuant de jouer avec les codes du comic book, comme le faisait Grant Morrison avec sa Doom Patrol à la même période, et livrant par la même occasion des couvertures désopilantes se rangeant parmi les meilleures de l'histoire de la bande dessinée américaine. Une bonne partie d'entre elles joue sur l'hypersexualisation de Jennifer qui, consciente de l'exploitation de son image par l'artiste, s'en plaint régulièrement. Une façon provocatrice de dénoncer ce phénomène particulièrement en vogue à partir des années 1980 et toutes les dérives autour du culte du corps qui l'accompagnent. Mais ceci est une tout autre histoire dont on reparlera peut-être une prochaine fois ! Personnage atypique dont le ton comique et introspectif est parfois mal compris, comptant parmi les dernières co-création de Stan Lee pour la Maison des Idées, imaginée avant tout à des fins mercantiles pour protéger les intérêts d'un éditeur dans une effervescence télévisuelle inachevée, puis redéfinie par un artiste précurseur qui a été jusqu'à donner un sens aux lois innées d'un genre, She-Hulk est un cas unique dans l'univers Marvel. Si les productions suivantes, comme les séries écrites par Dan Slott ou Charles Soule, ont souvent cherché à prolonger l'exercice initié par Byrne, le vent de fraîcheur apporté par The Sensational She-Hulk reste particulièrement osé et novateur de par ses possibles répercussions à grande échelle. Et quel que soit votre rapport à She-Hulk, le parcours de Jennifer Walters chez Marvel est à tout jamais le fruit d'un jeu d'influences au doux parfum d'imaginaire, auquel je vous recommande de jeter un œil !

Now that the first season of the She-Hulk series on Disney+ is over, now is a great time to talk about She-Hulks comic book history. The timing has nothing to do with the fact that Kriss is late on releasing this episode because work has completely swamped him. Nope, this timing is completely planned. Anyway, after seeing some of the confused reactions to the Disney+ show, it actually is a pretty good time to remind folks just who Jennifer Walters aka She-Hulk is and how writers have tackled that character over the years. First off, the show pulled their tone from John Byrne's classic time writing the character in the 1989 Sensational She-Hulk series. Yes, She-Hulk is a Hulk with incredible strength but she's also be written as a smart, funny character that has no problems crawling outside of the comic panels to challenge her writers/artists (sound familiar?). But aside from that, this character has always been about a woman challenging the male driven world around her. In the comics, Jen prefers to be in her She-Hulk form because that's the form that makes her feel powerful, invincible and capable of standing up to the world around her. That leads to some really funny moments (like her getting kicked out of Avengers mansion for being too wild). Post Civil War 2 sees a change for the character. The death of her cousin Bruce at the hands of fellow Avenger Hawkeye (and his subsequent acquittal) puts Jen on a path where she channel's Bruce's troubles with the Hulk and becomes uncontrollable when she transforms. She's consumed by anger and fear and that is explored as she finally reconciles her two halves. Overall the key issues for She-Hulk really do put new perspective on the show and highlight where the show pulled not only its tone but some of its arcs. Issues: Savage She-Hulk #1 Avengers #221 Secret Wars Fantastic Four #265 The Sensational She-Hulk (1989 - 1994) Issues 1 - 8 Issues #34 & #40 Avengers #64 - 76 (1998) She-Hulk (Dan Slott's run) Volume 1: Issues 1 - 12 Volume 2 Avengers Disassembled Civil War 2 Like what you hear?

You may know Bob Wiacek's name from the many other artists he's worked with: Carmine Infantino, Paul Smith, John Byrne, past guest June Brigman, past guest Walt Simonson, John Romita Jr., and past guest Bob Layton. But Bob's a legend in his own right as acknowledged by his recently received Inkwell Awards Joe Sinnott Hall of Fame Award for lifetime achievement in the art of inking. Just like there'd be no Jordan without Pippen, Wiacek's inks enhanced the work every penciller he worked with, from an Infantino Star Wars run in the early 80s, to Alpha Flight and launching the Sensational She-Hulk with Byrne, to one of his favorites: a two-year run with Brigman on Power Pack. The guy's a consummate professional, and he spills all the ink for the Dollar Bin Bandits. __________________________________If you liked this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

The filmmaker, who directed Shang-Chi, one of the biggest movies of 2021, was already an up-and-coming director before joining the Marvel universe. Now, it seems he will spend a little time there over the next few years, while also developing programming for Hulu and Disney+. In addition to his as-yet-unknown MCU Disney+ show, Cretton has another comic book adaptation set up at the streamer, although it's not what you might expect. The filmmaker recently announced a series based on former Action Comics writer Gene Luen Yang's acclaimed YA graphic novel American Born Chinese. "Destin is a powerhouse storyteller with impeccable taste in material. As we continue to expand our roster, Destin's unique voice will help usher in an exciting slate of content for our global audience," said Tara Duncan, President, Freeform & Onyx Collective, in a statement (via Deadline). "Destin is an amazing collaborator who brought a unique perspective and skill to Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings," said Kevin Feige, President, Marvel Studios and Chief Creative Officer. "We had a fantastic time working together on the film and he has so many intriguing ideas for stories to bring to life on Disney+, so we're thrilled to expand our relationship with him and can't wait to get started." "Working on Shang-Chi with Kevin and the Marvel Studios team was one of the highlights of my life, and I couldn't be more excited about Tara's vision for Onyx Collective," Cretton added. "I can't wait to explore new stories and build new worlds with this community." In Shang-Chi and the Legends of the Ten Rings, Shang-Chi must confront the past he thought he left behind when he is drawn into the web of the mysterious Ten Rings organization. The movie stars Liu alongside Awkwafina, Michelle Yeoh, Ben Kingsley, and Benedict Wong. Shang-Chi is in some theaters now, having broken box office records over Labor Day Weekend and become one of the highest grossing films of 2021, and also available on Disney+. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse trailer https://twitter.com/SonyAnimation/status/1467294398413262850 RUMOR: Ant-Man 3 Turns an Established MCU Villain Into MODOK https://www.cbr.com/ant-man-3-turns-yellowjacket-into-modok/ A new rumor claims a long-absent MCU villain will return and be transformed into M.O.D.O.K. in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Two rumors about Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania have merged into a new report claiming an existing Marvel Cinematic Universe villain will return as M.O.D.O.K. According to GWW, Corey Stoll will not only come back in the third Ant-Man film but the former Yellowjacket will transform into the MCU's M.O.D.O.K. Stoll was the villain in the first Ant-Man, with the finale seeing him shrink down to the Quantum Realm. Fans have long wondered if he could return, seeing as Janet Van Dyne, Hank Pym, and Scott Lang have all gone in and come back out. And earlier this year, a rumor emerged that Stoll would appear in Quantumania. Obviously, it seemed likely that Stoll would play the same character again, especially after a Yellowjacket Easter egg appeared in Loki. But if the rumor is true, then it seems Darren Cross' time in the Quantum Realm will transform him into the live-action M.O.D.O.K., a villain long rumored to arrive in the MCU. What makes the potential change more intriguing is that another rumor recently claimed Jim Carrey would play M.O.D.O.K. That rumor said he was likely to appear on She-Hulk and other Disney+ shows, but it also noted there was a chance the character would debut in Ant-Man 3. The throughline to both rumors, of course, is that M.O.D.O.K. will soon join the MCU, and it also seems safe to assume that Stoll will play some sort of role in Quantumania. This wouldn't be the first time that a long-absent villain returned to the MCU in a new form. The Red Skull seemingly perished in 2011's Captain America: The First Avengers after picking up the Tesseract/Space Stone only to reappear in 2018's Avengers: Infinity War as the guardian of the Soul Stone on Vormir. Outside of this twist, Marvel Studios also regularly tweaks comic book source material to fit into the universe of the films and TV shows. Considering how unusual of a character M.O.D.O.K. is, having an existing villain mutated by a parallel dimension isn't hard to imagine. And the Yellowjacket suit could easily be warped into M.O.D.O.K.'s similar yellow armor. For now, however, all of these are simply rumors until more concrete info about Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania arrives ahead of its July 28, 2023 release date. DISNEY+ Kevin Feige Confirms Daredevil Casting In The MCU, And Fans Will Be Pumped https://www.cinemablend.com/interviews/kevin-feige-confirms-daredevil-casting-in-the-mcu-and-fans-will-be-pumped https://www.cbr.com/charlie-cox-mcu-daredevil-confirmed/ Over the years, certain actors have grown to become synonymous with the Marvel character they were hired to play. Robert Downey Jr. IS Tony Stark. Chris Evans has claimed the fabric of Steve Rogers. Some roles can get recast, like Edward Norton handing Hulk to Mark Ruffalo, or Don Cheadle replacing Terrence Howard. But many lay claim to their character, and that's final. This is how many MCU fans feel about Charlie Cox and his portrayal of the blind attorney Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil. There have been calls to bring Cox over to the MCU and allow him to keep playing the Man Without Fear… and it seems like Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has been listening. The man behind the machine that is the MCU sat down with CinemaBlend recently, and fielded out questions about Daredevil, and the character's potential in the MCU now that his Netflix show has run its course. It'd be a shame NOT to feature Daredevil in either a Marvel feature or a Disney+ show, and we asked Feige what he thought about Charlie Cox being able to stay in the part. To our surprise, the usually covert Kevin Feige confirmed the news that so many fans will want to hear when he told CinemaBlend: “If you were to see Daredevil in upcoming things, Charlie Cox, yes, would be the actor playing Daredevil. Where we see that, how we see that, when we see that, remains to be seen.” Kevin Feige still kept some cards close to his vest with regards to the future of Daredevil when it comes to a concrete timeline, but those who loved Charlie Cox's portrayal of the character can rejoice in knowing that he will return to Hell's Kitchen at some point and patrol the streets on behalf of the neighborhood's citizens. And in light of a number of shows that have been developing, bringing Daredevil over makes more sense than it might have when the Netflix show ran its course. For instance, Hawkeye on Disney+ just introduced the character of Echo, a deaf warrior with connections to Wilson Fisk, aka The Kingpin. And Daredevil has been a consistent thorn in Fisk's side for decades in the comics. There have been rumors that Vincent D'Onofrio, also from the Netflix Daredevil show, is about to show up on Hawkeye, so pitting Cox against his former co-star is a natural progression. If Marvel Studios only wanted to explore the legal aspects of Matt Murdock, who is as powerful in a courtroom as he is in a darkened alley, then Daredevil could be a natural fit on She-Hulk, another Disney+ show that's in production now that will introduce audiences to Jennifer Walters (Tatiyana Maslany), yet another superpowered citizen who practices law. Why was this such a common things at Marvel Comics over the years? Charlie Cox's take on Matt Murdock and Daredevil was incredibly popular with Marvel fans, and an improvement over Ben Affleck's efforts in a doomed Daredevil movie that cast MCU rock star Jon Favreau as Foggy Nelson. We will see how many Netflix players follow Charlie Cox to the MCU if and when he arrives, but according to Kevin Feige, it's happening, and we know that fans will be overjoyed. Will Daredevil's Deborah Ann Woll Return to the MCU? Kingpin Actor Shares His Thoughts https://thedirect.com/article/daredevil-deborah-ann-woll-mcu-kingpin-return Vincent D'Onofrio Urges MCU Fans: Don't Forget Deborah Ann Woll's Karen Page https://www.cbr.com/vincent-donofrio-urges-mcu-fans-dont-forget-deborah-ann-woll-karen-page/ Hawkeye's Jeremy Renner, Hailee Steinfeld Learned Sign Language for Alaqua Cox https://www.cbr.com/hawkeye-jeremy-renner-hailee-steinfeld-alaqua-cox-asl/ Hawkeye's Alaqua Cox says co-stars Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld learned American Sign Language to help her feel welcome on the show's set. Hawkeye actor Alaqua Cox revealed in a new interview that co-stars Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld made her feel welcome on the show's set by learning American Sign Language (ASL). "It was such an honor to work with them both," Cox, who portrays Maya Lopez/Echo, told D23 Magazine. "I think they are spectacular actors, and I have learned a lot from watching them work behind the scenes." While Cox admitted she was incredibly nervous on her first day of filming the Disney+ series, she added that Renner immediately made her feel at home. "I remember meeting Jeremy on my first day of work on-set; I was a nervous wreck, as this was my very first acting job," she explained. "He then complimented me in American Sign Language (ASL), which comforted me." The actor also shared that Steinfeld, who portrays Kate Bishop in the series, spelled out her name in ASL while they were doing stunt training sessions, noting, "I thought it was sweet of them putting in efforts to learn basic ASL to communicate with me. It means a lot to me as a Deaf person." In addition to speaking about the kindness of her co-stars, Cox praised Marvel Studios for continuing to make diversity a priority in its film and television projects. "I'm amazed with Marvel because they are doing such a great job with diversity and representation… It means so much to me because I feel like kids with all types of cultures and disabilities deserve to have more role models that look like them, to inspire and empower the next generation," the actor explained. "I'm so grateful to have this opportunity because I am one of the examples…" The actor also recently detailed what it was like landing the role of Echo as her first-ever acting gig, noting that Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige broke the news by doing the deaf clap -- where you wave both your hands -- over Zoom. "I was like, 'What's going on?' and they said, 'Welcome to the Marvel family!'" she recalled. Created by David Mack and Joe Quesada, Maya Lopez/Echo first appeared in Daredevil #9 (1999) and is known as one of the few Native American and deaf comic book characters. Her powers include photographic reflexes, which give her the ability to mimic the movements of other people. While Cox recently made her debut as Echo in Hawkeye, Marvel Studios already confirmed the actor will reprise the role in an upcoming spinoff series titled Echo for Disney+. She-Hulk Reportedly Talks to MCU Boss Kevin Feige in Her Disney+ Show https://www.cbr.com/disney-plus-she-hulk-fourth-wall-kevin-feige/ https://twitter.com/shehuIkupdates/status/1468036322979979264? A new report indicates that the upcoming Tatiana Maslany-led Disney+ She-Hulk series will feature a major trope associated with the Jade Giantess. A new report claims the upcoming She-Hulk TV series on Disney+ will see Jennifer Walters breaking the fourth wall with Marvel Studios President/Marvel Chief Creative Officer Kevin Feige. According to the She Hulk Updates Twitter account, insider KC Walsh revealed on the Straight Outta Gotham podcast that "one of the breaking moments" in the show would be Jen speaking to Feige. This follows a report from July claiming She-Hulk would see Jen break the fourth wall, much like her comic book counterpart. Fittingly, the tweet includes a picture of the cover to 1989's The Sensational She-Hulk #1, which features She-Hulk talking to the reader by threatening to come to their house and destroy their X-Men comics if they fail to "buy [her] book this time." Little is known about She-Hulk at the time, though it's rumored that the series will set up a "World War Hulk" movie, and Feige previously confirmed it was a half-hour legal comedy consisting of 10 episodes. "It's about six hours of content," Feige said when discussing Disney+'s initial slate of Marvel content. "Sometimes that'll be six episodes, sometimes that'll be nine episodes, in the case of WandaVision. Sometimes that'll be 10 episodes. You basically have 10 half-hour episodes, which is what She-Hulk ... will be. It all varies based on the story that we're telling and only based on the story that we're telling." It's also been rumored that Krysten Ritter and Charlie Cox will reprise their respective roles as Jessica Jones and Daredevil from the characters' self-titled Netflix series, though Cox may be playing a different version of the character. As for the Jade Giantess herself, Tatiana Maslany recently discussed how Marvel Studios is bringing her character to life. "It's all CG... I'm in mo-cap the whole time," she explained. "I'm on platforms with mo-cap where I have a little head on the top of my head..." These comments came after a first look at She-Hulk was revealed on Disney+ Day, though the footage only featured Jen from behind. However, it also included Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner, still in his Smart Hulk guise. The two of them will be joined by the similarly returning Abomination, played once again by Tim Roth. FEEDBACK [51:16] TWITTER https://twitter.com/Starsaber_222/status/1468981733320273924 Consultant Black Adam ✵ @Starsaber_222 @LegendsofSHIELD I am now pre-emptively accepting the retcon that (if she was a SHIELD agent) Laura was Bobbi's SO and passed the Mockingbird codename down to Bobbi when she left to start a family. E-MAIL Oh8four to stargatepioneer Hey all! Okay, after getting through the amazing episode 4, I have a theory, and I kinda hate myself for it. The watch that they're after would supposedly expose the identity of someone close to Clint. I think the person he's protecting is his wife, Laura. Now here's why I hate this, because I'm pretty sure I know who she's going to be, and it would be a final nail in the Agents of Shield Canon-coffin. I've headcanoned my way through so much, with the season 5 Thanos fiasco and time jumps in both the show and the movies that don't quite work work with each other, but what I won't be able to headcanon is this: Laura Barton is also an ex-spy, specifically Barbara Morse, aka Mockingbird, the wife/ex-wife of Clint in the comics and the amazing character played by Adrienne Palicki in Agents of Shield. And she would be the first Marvel TV character to be recast and brought into the MCU completely rebooted. But all that said, I would love it so much. Sorry, fellow AoS Lovers, I'll see myself out.

Big Greetings on this Big Monday Episode! I took last week off for "Fall Break," but we're back today with a seriously oversized podcast episode! Stick around, cause there's a lot to catch! We start is off with the news as usual (0:14:13), covering a number of smaller No Way Home updates before getting into one very big and very exciting Spider-Man franchise update (0:18:27)! After the news of Matt Reeves' The Batman runtime, we go on to briefly discuss the Super Crooks Netflix Anime from Millar-World (0:24:52), and finish off the news with talk on the cancellation of Luke Cage: City of Fire, and why that is such a poor decision for Marvel to apparently have made ( 0:27:05). We have two big comic book segments today, the first being the weekly Pick list for comics that came out last week, on the 23rd and 24th. At the top of the list sits John Ridley's Black Panther #1, Jed McKay's Death of Doctor Strange #3, and the final issue of Hickman/Huddleston's Decorum. Admittedly, I also spend some time complaining about the new X-Men run, t the end (0:44:31). For the pull list for this week's comics (0:49:30), I'm looking forward to a number of #1's, one-shots, anniversary issues, and final issues, among others. It's a big week for comics, for sure! The massive, all-inclusive Hawkeye discussion (1:07:52) certainly has more information than you need to know, with episode 2 kicking in at 1:28:04. I've also compiled a list of all the points (I have 8 groupings) the show has taken from the 2012 Matt Fraction/David Aja Hawkeye comic book series, for which neither creator has been given any credit for (1:38:29). In my opinion, designers of stories that re turned into other major media ought to be paid the way any costume or set designers would be. After Hawkeye is my thoughts on the Netflix live action Cowboy Bebop show (1:43:25), which are mostly positive! I haven't finished it, but I'm enjoying it so far. Finally, to mark the holiday that passed us by last week, I put together a discussion of 1989-1990's She-Hulk: Ceremony (1:46:56). It covers a lot of topics relevant to our modern world, many of which I go into depth on in my written discussion, which can be found on my website blog, linked below. I cover the general plot of the story, the legendary feud between Ceremony writer Brian McDuffie and Sensational She-Hulk writer John Byrne (1:50:37), and finally, the one, the only, Wyatt Wingfoot! 1:58:38 Wingfoot is a character with old, strong ties between himself and Johnny Storm and the Fantastic Four, Jen Walters, Black Panther, and other major marvel heroes. He's chief of his Keewazi tribe from Oklahoma, a proven warrior, empath, and thinker, and is one of my best guesses at characters soon to be introduced to the MCU! You can check out this discussion for his character history, relevant ties, where he was inspired from, and anything else you could possibly want to know about Wyatt Wingfoot! I'll be back with the next podcast episode Friday the 3rd (or September the 4th) covering the Wednesday episode of Hawkeye, comic book picks for the week, and any other news, which I'm sure there will be plenty of! Stay warm and dry, keep it sweaty, and try not to cast judgement.

Hop into your big rigs and get ready for a wild ride! In this episode, we're going to be talking about U.S. 1, Marvel's licensed series about a long-haul trucker who also happened to be a superhero.----more---- Episode 12 Transcript [00:00:00] Mike: If you're a middle-aged white guy, maybe trying to sit there and write about the troubles that indigenous people from other countries face, maybe don't do that. Just my ten cents. Welcome to Ten Cent Takes, the podcast where we hand-wave plot holes like it's nobody's business, one issue at a time. My name is Mike Thompson and I am joined by my cohost of chaos, Jessika Frazer. Jessika: Well, hello. Mike: Hello. Jessika: How are you doing? Mike: Uh, I am doing a lot better now that I am not on jury duty anymore. So. Jessika: Woo. Mike: I mean, don't get me wrong. It's a [00:01:00] civic duty that we should all be happy to perform, but it's really nice when you don't have to do it. Jessika: I've been on a jury before. Mike: Was it, a cool case? Jessika: No, it was a disturbing, unsettling case, but it was still a civic case? It was just, Yeah. It was, it was not great. And I couldn't talk about it. So let's just say I, I took out a lot of my angst with a tennis racket against the wall. Not, not the racket itself, but hitting the ball against the wall a lot. Mike: Yeah, Jessika: But, civic, duty, it is. So I was 19 at the time. Mike: I think the last time I had to report for jury duty in person I was 25, give or take. Jessika: Mm. Mike: And then I got dismissed because they asked me if I would believe a teenager's word over a cop, and at the time I was like, hell no. And these days. Jessika: Yeah. Different opinions now. Mike: Yeah. [00:02:00] Tangent aside, the reason that we're here on this podcast is because we like to look at and talk about comic books in ways that are both fun and informative. We like to look at the weirdest, silliest, strangest, and coolest moments, and examine how they have been woven into pop culture and history in general. In this episode, we're hitting the open road of the Marvel Universe and looking at U.S. 1, a 1980s maxi-series about a superhero big rig trucker. But before we go down that road, what is one cool thing that you have read or watched lately? Jessika: So, I had a suggestion made to me by Lauren, from Outer Planes in Santa Rosa. Hey Lauren. And she told me about a comic that is set in the same universe as the Alice in Leatherland that I started reading and I've had on my pull list now. Mike: Yeah, the one that you mentioned a couple episodes ago? [00:03:00] Jessika: Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And so it was also from Black Mask and it's called Destiny, NY. I'm on issue one, which is a veritable chonker, it's absolutely awesome. There are two girls kissing in a closet within the first three pages, so you know I'm already in. And it's cool because it's set in a version of New York where magic exists, and follows a school for kids that have been told by one seer or another that they have a destiny or a prophecy to fulfill. And the students have different abilities and visual characteristics, like one has a third eye and she's supposed to like, see the greatest lie out of the truths or something like that. And she's like, but I don't even know what that is. It's all super vague, like these poor kids. And I've grabbed the first five issues, and I will be tearing through these and no [00:04:00] time. I'm sure, cause it's already super fun. Mike: Yeah, that sounds fantastic, to be completely honest. There was a book that I read about a year ago called Magic for Liars, which is a boarding school for magic users. And then the sister of, one of the faculty is called in to investigate a death, and it's really cool because she's not a magic user, but her sister who is part of the faculty is so it's, it was cool. I liked it a lot. Jessika: That's neat. Mike: But yeah, that was a cool book. Jessika: Nice. Mike: Yeah. Jessika: Well, what about you? What you've been reading, watching, listening to? Mike: All right. So I'm always mildly embarrassed to admit that I'm a Conan fan, mainly because I think so many people just associate them with Arnold Schwarzenegger and those middling to not-good movies that they made with him in the eighties. Um, yeah, but I really fell in love with his Comics back in 2005 or so, when they were being done by Dark Horse and they were really, really good. They were these wonderfully dark, low fantasy stories that always seem to [00:05:00] balance like action and tragedy and comedy really well. And Marvel got the character back a couple of years ago, so they've been doing really cool work with them lately. The new Conan series is really fun and feels really true to the original stories, but they've also displaced him through time, and now they've got them hanging out in the mainstream Marvel Universe via this series. Jessika: Oh, interesting. Mike: Yeah. And it's in the series called the Savage Avengers. It's wild. It's written by Gerrry Duggan, who, he wrote, arguably the best Conan story that I've ever read in Conan 2099, which is they took that Spider-Man 2099 universe, and then they slapped him right in the middle of it. Jessika: Oh. Mike: It it's great, like the way that it was written was so perfect. And it's one of those books where anybody who sits there and even if they say they're not a Conan fan, I just say, you need to read this. It's wonderful. But anyway, so Savage Avengers features him going on adventures with characters like Wolverine [00:06:00] Deadpool, the Punisher and Electra. It's so dumb, but it's so much fun. Like, early on in the series, he gets a Venom- symbiate joined with them, but it's really weak. So it can only form weapons for him. Jessika: Okay. Mike: It's just it, it's great. It's an absolute guilty pleasure, and I refuse to apologize for this. So it was unfortunately not available in Marvel Unlimited, which is probably why I hadn't heard about it, but the back issues are all pretty cheap, and I grabbed a ton of them from Brian's comics on my last run, and I've just been having a blast reading them. We probably should do an episode actually, where we talk about the fact that Conan has been in comics for almost 50 years. And Jessika: Oh. Mike: He started at Marvel originally, and now he's back at Marvel, but there was a long hiatus. Jessika: Ooh. I want to hear that arc. Absolutely. Mike: All right. Moving right along. So as tempting as it is to just dive right [00:07:00] into U.S. 1 the comic and its strangeness, I don't think we can talk about it without covering some background info first. So, have you ever heard the term trucking culture before? Jessika: I've absolutely heard of trucking culture, but I'm not too familiar with the intricacies. My uncle drove a truck for years, but I think he's retired at this point. Mike: Okay. I think it's something that a lot of people aren't really aware of, or they hear about it and then they start making jokes. Like, I got some glimpses of it when one of my photography gigs have me living on a tour bus for a few months. So, we would visit a lot of legit truck stops in the middle of nowhere. And I'm not talking gas stations, I'm talking full rest stops where restaurants served truckers before other patrons, the bathrooms had shower stalls and all of the stores felt like kind of miniature Walmarts. They were just massive. And they had anything that you could think of you might need on a long road trip. [00:08:00] It's this side that, if you live in an urban environment folks, aren't really going to see or understand, and it's the staggeringly huge thing that most people never even seem to think about. But I mean, trucking is this major part of the United States and its industry as noted in this factoid from the American trucking associations, if you would be so kind. Jessika: Nearly every good consumed in the U S is put on a truck at some point. As a result, the trucking industry hauled 72.5% of all freight transported in the United States in 2019, equaling to 11.84 billion tons. The trucking industry was a $791.7 billion industry in that same year representing 80.4% of the nation's freight bill. Mike: Yeah. It's I was actually, I was really surprised actually to see that it was that much. I assumed that trains [00:09:00] and shipping were at least a little bit bigger. Jessika: No, because we don't here's the problem is that because of the auto industry in the United States, we stifled the ability to make all the train tracks necessary, to get the things to all the places we need. And now it's horrendously expensive to go on a train. Yeah. I don't know that people know that about the United States. So for our international listeners: you can't take trains here, it's very expensive. Mike: Yeah. First of all, there's no real national rail system. And, and second, the rail system that does exist is prohibitively expensive, unless you are a not far distance commuter. Like I took Amtrak for a couple, for about a year traveling between Sacramento and San Francisco a couple of times a week. And it was great. It was less expensive to do that a couple of times a week than it was to drive down. But [00:10:00] yeah, it's prohibitively expensive for most people. Jessika: Yeah. And there are some cities in the United States that do have a decent transportation system. Portland has a decent one in New York, obviously that there are other places to Chicago, yeah. But I mean, for the most part across country, especially because we're such a large country, and we are of course expected to share things. California has to share everything. Listen to me, I sound so greedy. Mike: I know. Yeah. What does it, we have the, I think it's like it's top five or top 10 economies in the world. Jessika: We're the top sixth economy in the world by ourselves. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, So if we just dumped off everyone else, the rest of the states would be screwed. Actually a few would hold their own, but those middlin' states. Mike: Yeah. Jessika: Suffering. Mike: Well, as big as it is, the trucking industry, as we know it, [00:11:00] isn't even a hundred years old. Uh, yeah, so really, trucks were first used extensively by the military in WWI, and then trucking became prominent in the 1930s because of the increased construction on paved roads. So, it didn't take long after that, before truckers became a part of American pop culture. They started having songs and movies about them. And as noted by Shane Hamilton in his book, Trucking Country: the Road to America's Walmart Economy, there was this mythology that almost lionized truckers. Jessika: Hmm. Mike: If you would, uh, do us all the favor of reading out the section that I found that describes it pretty well. Jessika: The image of the respectable trucker circulated outside the world of Hollywood in the 1950s. As truckers became known as the Knights of the Road for helping stranded motorists, and using their blinkers and [00:12:00] headlights as courtesy signals. This image was further reinforced by the standard driver's uniform of the era: trim, neat pants and button shirt, and the chauffeur's cap. The masculine mythologies of trucking moved increasingly into a wider cultural world in the 1950s and 1960s. As the image of the truck driving man was reflected back to truckers by movies and music. Mike: Yeah. So the 1970s were when trucking hit, it's kind of Zenith point and pop culture. They wound up being presented as kind of this modern version of cowboys, you know, wandering nomads who rebelled against the oppressive rule of law while still operating under their own kind of honor code. There were a ton of movies and songs during this decade that romanticized the trucker life. And a lot of these have since faded into obscurity, but this was the period when we got that song Convoy by CW McCall, which also inspired a movie with a very young shirtless Kris Kristofferson, um, [00:13:00] uh, Smokey in the Bandit came out in 1977 and it was the number three grossing movie of the year behind Star Wars. And there's also a really bad Chuck Norris action Flint called Breaker Breaker. Like it was a moment in pop culture. Jessika: Are you really going to say that a Chuck Norris movie was bad? What if he's right behind you? Mike: I mean, yeah. Jessika: It's always a threat. Don't don't deny it. Mike: Man. Remember when we all used to like Chuck Norris and we thought he was cool before we went off the deep end and it turned out he's just the worst. Remember those days? Jessika: Oh no. We have a nefarious character, nefarious character alert. Mike: Yeah. What a shock. Jessika: Oh, not on our podcast. Mike: I know. All right. Well, okay. So the [00:14:00] eighties, this all started to change in the eighties when truckers started being portrayed more villainously, or at least poorly in media, like Thelma and Louise, you've seen Thelma and Louise, right? Jessika: Yeah. Mike: Yeah. You remember how there's that gross trucker who keeps on harassing them. Jessika: Yes. Mike: Yeah. And, the eighties, it was starting to decline, but it wasn't quite there yet. The nineties was when it really picked up and we'll discuss that in a little bit, Jessika: Hmm. Mike: But at the time that this comic project started, big rig truckers were still on the high side of public opinion. So we've talked in previous episodes about how Marvel wound up undergoing a commercial Renaissance in the early eighties, under the guidance of Jim Shooter. Particularly, you know, with Saturday morning cartoons and all that stuff. Jessika: Mm. Mike: One of the major sources of the success came in the form of toy companies, partnering with the publisher for licensed comic adaptations and arguably, the biggest example of this kind of success came from [00:15:00] partnerships with Hasbro when Marvel created the characters and lore for both Transformers in G.I. Joe. So U.S. 1 was a comic that came about from another partnership, but this one was with a different toy company. It was called Tyco Toys and Tyco wanted to do a licensed comic based on their U.S. 1 brand of slot truck toys. Jessika: Oh, so this was all based on the Tyco truck, even. truck even. Mike: Yes, it's a little bit different than the standard Tyco truck, and we'll talk about that in a second, but you know, Tyco probably doesn't sound familiar to people that are younger than us these days, but they were a company that originally made model trains for hobbyists. And then they started making slot car toys in the 1960s, which are the cars that you press the trigger and they go around a track and you can build out the track how you want. So, by the eighties, this brand was the one that was dominating that particular section of the market, the slot car toy section. [00:16:00] And at this point, they decided to create some slot truck toys. It was branded U.S. 1 Electric Trucking, and it launched in 1981. And it was based on the earlier racing sets, but it had a couple of unique features. You could drive the trucks in both forward and reverse, and you could also have the trucks pick up and deliver loads of, and this is the quote, action accessories with that direct interaction from the person operating it. And the tagline was “you control the action”. So I've got this commercial that I found on YouTube, because YouTube has everything and it's actually really cute. You want to give it a shot? Jessika: Sure thing. [00:17:00] Oh, this is really exciting. Oh! That's actually a really fun. Mike: Right. Jessika: No, that's super freaking fun. That is that's super fun. Mike: Yeah. So Tyco came to Marvel and they said that they were interested in having a comic adaptation done. And, the comic wound up being written by Al Milgrim, who's actually, he's a pretty interesting dude in comic history, he worked as a writer, and editor and inker, and a penciler during his career. And he was particularly known for this long tenure editing Marvel Fanfare, where I think he edited it for like a decade. Also the real reason that he's an industry legend though, is because Marvel actually fired him after he hid some messaging in a panel background where he was badmouthing Marvel Harris. The then recently departed editor in chief of Marvel. [00:18:00] Jessika: Oh, damn. That's cold. Mike: Yeah, it was actually really funny and you can look it up, where he basically wrote some messages vertically on the spines of books in the background of a Spider-Man comic. And there's some weird happenstances about how, I think the editor caught them and had the wording removed. And then, through some error, that image got used instead and went to publish and yeah, it's, it's kind of amazing, but he was actually a full-time employee, which was really rare for one of the people who was actually creating the comics. And so it's this, you know, he was, he was actually fired by Marvel. Jessika: Wow. yeah, From what I've read, most of them were freelance, so that's actually super interesting. Mike: Yeah. It's an interesting story. And it's one I would love to talk to him about someday, which we'll discuss that later. I legit love that story about how Milgrim got, let go, because it's totally a move that I would pull. [00:19:00] And then the series was originally drawn by this other long-time Marvel artists named Herb Trimp. he'd made a name for himself with the Incredible Hulk, and also he is known as the first artist to actually draw Wolverine for publication because he drew the, he drew the issue. John Romita came up with the character design in sketch, but he was the one who actually first drew him in a comic, which was cool. Jessika: That's super neat. Mike: Yeah. And so Trimp also, wasn't a stranger to projects like this. He had recently worked on G.I. Joe. He wound up penciling the first two issues, and then Frank Springer came in to finish out the series, and Springer was another reliable artist from Marvel and he had also been involved with G.I. Joe and Transformers. Milgrim actually has an essay at the end of the first issue called In the Driver's Seat, where he talks about the comics. And it starts with how Tyco asks for the common treatment and then goes into his first meeting with Jim Shooter about the projects. And I kind of love this description where he talks about how he wasn't [00:20:00] really sold on the idea originally. Jessika: Frankly, I wasn't sure. Nobody had ever done anything with trucks and comics before. When I voiced the concern to Jim, it was as if I had slapped his face and challenged him to a duel. Exactly! He exploded. Nobody has done it before. Maybe nobody thinks it can be done. There may even be a lot of resistance to the idea, but we can do it and do it well. I got caught up in the challenge, Jim and I did not fight a duel to the death, lucky for him. Instead, we began discussing the idea of a truck driving hero. We talked about the romance of driving a truck, the dedication of those self-sufficient loners who drive the big rigs, we got swept up in the notion, began to solidify the concept of a trucker with a mission, a goal, a quest. Mike: Yeah, it's kind of charming to hear how enamored he got with the project during that first meeting. [00:21:00] The essay also mentions that Marvel's animation division, which as we've also covered in that episode about Saturday morning cartoons, was a thing that they had, was working on what sounded like a TV show pitch. And there might be some toys and animated series in the future, but spoiler, that never happened. I'm curious, how would you summarize this comic series? Jessika: A lot happened. So a lot happened. This series was wild from start to finish. It starts with introductions to Ulysses Solomon Archer, or USA, and his brother, Jefferson, or Jeff after their parents who are truck drivers die in an accident, US and Jeff are raised by Wide Load,. Who's a woman, and Poppa, who are the owners of a truck stop named Shortstop. Mike: We need to stop this for a second. You need to, you need to acknowledge them by their full [00:22:00] names. Jessika: I'm sorry. Remind me what Poppa's name is. Mike: Poppa Wheelie, and it's Wide Load Annie, and Wide Load Annie. Jessika: Okay. Let me re say that. Okay. Excuse me. Mike: I'm sorry. It's just it's too good. Jessika: No, you're right. I'm not even going to cut any of this. I'm just going to leave it. No, you're right. I couldn't, you know what, honestly, because I couldn't remember what their full names were when I was writing this out. I was like, this is good enough. So, so yeah, they're the owners of a truck stop called Shortstop and US is this All-American blonde haired, white boy, who has it all going for him. He's literally good at everything without trying. And he's encouraged by Wide Load Annie and Poppa Wheelie to get a college education, even though he knows he wants to be a truck driver, just like his folks, and his adoptive parents and his big brother, Jeff, who he idolizes. [00:23:00] And Jeff is your classic, dark haired boy who just can't seem to keep up with US's successes, and also becomes a truck driver obviously, and seemingly mostly as a backup profession, which is kind of interesting how they they're both like encouraging and disparaging of truck drivers inparts. And I'm like, it's kind of strange. There's a give and take. I don't know what it is. I don't know if you felt that too. Mike: It's the whole thing of, he is not good. Jefferson is billed as being not good at school, but US is. And so they're like, no, you have to go to college, you have to make something of yourself. And Poppa and Wide Load and Jefferson all support him and send him to school. And Jefferson is doing it via job in trucking. Yeah, they talked about how expensive colleges in those days. And I'm like, my dudes, it's 1980. You could literally go to college on a minimum wage job. And it talks about how also, I think he had scholarships and. Jessika: Cause he was good at [00:24:00] everything. Mike: and he double majored in computer Jessika: Electronics. Yeah, exactly. Mike: Electrical engineering, I think. And then, and then. Jessika: Computer sciences. Yeah. Uh, Yeah. it was a whole thing. Mike: It's a thing. Exactly. Jessika: So during a drive with a young US, Jeff's big rig is run off the road by a devilish figure he calls the high women just prior to driving off a cliff. The truck explodes and Us is gravely injured in such a way that he evidently needs a skull replacement? Mike: You know? Sure. Jessika: Have you heard of that? Mike: No. Jessika: Usually with a skull replacement, you're going to be a lot worse off than just, like, gonna in a pop awake in a couple minutes after you put something metal back on there, Mike: Yeah. It's, uh, I believe they worded it as, oh, is this experimental treatment and I'm like, what? Okay. Jessika: Which already was so [00:25:00] sus. Mike: Yeah. And they, basically replace his skull with it's, in this comic, it's implied that it's like just the top part of his skull that like, you know, protects the brain. Later comic appearances, it is very strongly hinted that they basically do a brain transplant into, or, that they basically just give him a metal skull of some kind. It's like, there's no bone to be seen, but. Jessika: Like a new head completely? Lord. Goodness gracious. Well, so after that, he vows to find his brother who he's like, I couldn't find him in the crash. It's like, bro, like you kind of couldn't look for him. You had a concussion, like you're not an expert in finding bodies in an explosion. I don't know how he just definitively was like, well I guess everybody else told him that, that he, the body was never found or whatever, [00:26:00] but. Mike: Yeah, that's true. Jessika: Yeah. So he decided he's gonna find his brother as well as the mysterious Highwayman that he yelled about right before. And he quickly finds out that he can pick up CB radio waves from his fancy new skullcap, and somehow has truck becomes self-aware and he can communicate directly with it? And it's making its own decisions. Inexplicably. It's not well explained, once again. Mike: It's so truck originally, he builds a remote control into like a half dollar, so he can drive it really like, like a precision driver with his remote. But then later on, I think there's, it was like some kind of like a lightning strike or something or electrical overload that then allowed him to directly interface with the truck. And then the truck is also self-aware at times where it's providing narration for an entire issue. And we'll talk about that, too. Jessika: Yeah, that's what I was going to say. [00:27:00] It was the weirdest thing. I was kinda on board with most of it. And then the truck was having its own inner monologue. And I was like, wait a second, guys. Mike: Yeah. Jessika: Oh, goodness gracious. And then there's also a spy planted within the truck stop in the form of a mind-controlled waitress, Mary McGrill, which their names, all their names. Mike: The alliteration and stuff and puns. It's great. Jessika: Exactly. It's so cheese. I love it. And she uses this wacky mind control whip, and there's drama about the truck stop being foreclosed upon and being sold to make condos. And, and then DUN DUN DUN! Jeff turns out to be the Highwayman! And they are aliens looking for the best person, read trucker, you know, of course on earth to be some kind of space ambassador? Mike: Yeah. It's not well explained. [00:28:00] I think it had something to do with they wanted people to pilot their star ships, because they were like accustomed to like long bouts of being on their own and stuff. Jessika: Yeah, it was, it was a whole thing too. And then apparently all humans look alike to the aliens. Mike: I thought that was funny as fuck. That was. Jessika: I thought that was hysterical Mike: Because the aliens are so weird looking. Jessika: Yeah. Yeah. And so apparently they had been scoping US this whole time, cause he's like the golden child, but then they accidentally swooped Jeff instead, because they made a mistake and Jeff was just like, yeah, I'm going to go with it. So once they figured out their mistake, they felt really bad about wasting all of their time and effort on this, this putz. And so then they of course had to have a race to make sure who was the best one to be the space ambassador, whether it was [00:29:00] going to be US, who dun dun dun the aliens gave him the skullcap! Mike: Yup. Jessika: Or his brother who has been working with the alien tech and has, like, a time advantage and a training advantage. So it's of course, US wins. I mean, come on. So of course they just get sent up into space? And he gets to take the whole truck stop with him? And all of the people? Mike: Yup. Jessika: It's the Rapture? Mike: Yeah. And then the greedy bankers who are left behind, who are going to take the property that the truck stopped. I think they, they wind up getting dosed with some kind of radiation. Jessika: Yeah, the, they were going to build condos on the land and then it ended up being radioactive. And so the buyer ended up pulling out. Mike: Yeah, Jessika: Like right there, because that's how that works. Mike: Yeah. Jessika: So yeah. The end. That's it. Mike: Oh yeah. [00:30:00] And then the other thing is that for the first half of the series, we are given to believe that the Highwayman is demonic in origin. Like they do a whole thing where, he's got his own mind-controlled, big rig that runs them off the road or whatever. And, he's surrounded by devils when he's looking down triumphantly on the wreckage and there's, you know, it's the mythology of the open road where they're like, oh, he was this trucker who, apparently, couldn't keep up anymore with the younger truckers and their newer rigs. So we cut a deal with the devil and it was, I actually kind of dug it. It was ridiculous. And over the top, but it was great. And then it turns out it was just, I don't know, some disguise that he put on just the fuck with everybody. Jessika: He did the Scooby Doo unveiling where he pulled a rubber mask off of his face, and I about lost my mind. Mike: Yeah. Okay. What was your overall impression of the series? Jessika: It was a fucking [00:31:00] wild ride, but it was fun. I liked that it was so random at times. It legitimately kept me guessing the whole way. The topics though, they were not subtle with the overbearing American patriotism and the overt disdain for neo-Nazis, which obviously I'm behind. Mike: I mean, whatever that was fine. Jessika: that was great when they dropped the, the neo-Nazis in Televiv. Mike: Oh God. Well, and the funniest part was they were, so one of the antagonists for us is Baron VonBlimp, who pilot, he, he looks like, he looks like kind of this weird aristocrat from like turn of the century, Europe. No, he's I think he even has a monocle. And then towards the end, when he shows up in his blimp, he drops out and he's got a bunch of Nazis with them and, you know, they've got the swastika, armbands and everything, and then it's revealed they're not actually Nazis and he's not even German. He just liked how the uniforms looked. And then the aliens are like, whatever we're [00:32:00] done with this. And they literally hand wave them away into Israel. And I was like, that's, that's just magnificent. Just chef's kiss. Jessika: Oh, yeah, I did actually really like that. So, so what about you? What did you think about this? Mike: I mean, it's one of those comics where I never expected to enjoy it as much as I did, but there's something so silly and pure about this entire story. It feels like the kind of thing that a five or six year old kid would come up with while playing with their trucks, you know, like monsters and aliens and races against air ships. And then you hand wave away things when you want to change the narrative. And it somehow kind of works actually. Like, I don't know how, but it kind of does. I really loved, like I talked about, I love Baron VonBlimp, I thought he was just so weird. And then I liked how the Shortstop is essentially the Mos Eisley Cantina, but it's got better coffee. [00:33:00] And it seemed like every time that we first visited the place, someone was getting thrown through a window, which was of. Jessika: Absolutely. There was always a fight scene. It reminded me of a saloon, like one of those old-timey saloons with people getting thrown out double doors and things crashing. Mike: Yeah. And then we talked about how US' his truck was self-aware, but, but I love the bit where Papa refers to it as a she and the trucks that there and says I'm not ashamed, but I'm secure enough in myself. That it's fine. Jessika: Yeah. Mike: I was like, that is weirdly topical through a 2021 lens, but this is also really good. And also every cover to this comic, it is a work of art. Like, like the styles vary, but they're really cool looking and they're just really weird. Yeah, I mean, it was just, it was a blast. Were there any highlights for you, or any lowlights. Jessika: So I have to say my eyes just about rolled out of my [00:34:00] head, where the aliens showed up and needed chicken parts to make their ship work correctly. And the rivalry between the two female characters was pretty contrived. Mike: I did like how they were trying to sit there and spin it so you didn't know who was the sleeper agent? I thought that was kind of cool, but yeah, they were, you know, they were fighting over Us and that was dumb, but it's also, you know, it's the 1980s. What are you gonna do? Jessika: Exactly. Had to have some sort of, you know, forced love triangle of some nature. But I have to say I was oddly charmed at the editing notes from Ralph Macchio, all people? Mike: Uh, editor with the same name as the, yeah. Jessika: Oh, okay. All right. Wow. Goodness gracious. Cause I was like giving that guy a lot of credit. Mike: Nope. Jessika: I did like that though. I did like the little comments, the little editing notes, it was a little much [00:35:00] sometimes, but I love that he was throwing shade at the writers sometimes, or reminding the reader about the previous events or where you could read about them. And it was interesting how in depth they recapped each issue, but it must've been nice for the readers who weren't starting from issue one. Mike: Yeah. And especially because it was a maxi series and then it started in mid 1983 and then it ended in late 1984. So, it went from monthly to bi-monthly, and it was not a big name comic in the first place, so it makes sense that they would sit there and provide that background for readers. And I also really appreciated that it was all the same characters over and over again, so that it wasn't doing anything crazy new, but at the same time, each of those issues you could pick up except for the last couple. Pretty easy to understand. Jessika: Yeah. I would say so. Mike: I mentioned earlier that this was another licensed comic that was designed to help promote a toy line, but as [00:36:00] opposed to G.I. Joe and transformers, though, this wasn't nearly as successful. Comichron, which is a site that tracks sales data for comics doesn't have 1983 data in place yet, but the site comic book, historians has this incredible online community. And I actually wound up posting there and asking if anyone had any insight into how the comics sold and Al Milgrim himself wound up chiming in if you would be so kind. Jessika: I'm sorry, what? That's cool as heck. Mike: Yeah. Jessika: Wow. Mike: Yeah. Jessika: Okay. Well, I got a, sorry, I got a little nervous. Oh sure. I think the first issue sold around 160,000 or so, not great for a first issue, but respectable. Marvel only contracted with the toy company to do a dozen issues. I'm sure the sales went downhill from there. Still think the book was some good silly fun though (I may be [00:37:00] biased). Mike: Yeah, I was really stunned. This, the comic book historian group actually has a lot of amazing industry professionals involved in it. I've seen writers like Mark Wade chime in, the owner of Mile High Comics routinely posts about comic book history as well. They have a podcast and a YouTube series. They did a long series of interviews with Jim Shooter that was really cool, which actually, I think did a lot to kind of redeem his character a bit because a lot of people viewed him as a villain in the comic book and yeah. Jessika: Oh. Mike: But yeah, Milgrim was super cool to chime in on that. And I wound up talking to him briefly afterwards and he said, he'd be open to doing an interview with us at some point. So maybe there'll be a Part two to the U.S. 1 episode. Jessika: That's exciting. Mike: Yeah. The comic series ran for roughly a year and a half and it ended in October of 1984, the U.S. 1 toys were moderately more successful, they lasted until 86. And then after this trucking and pop culture continued to undergo this shift. [00:38:00] And it feels like the nineties, as I said, was when things really started to significantly change. We talked about Thelma and Louise. There was that Kurt Russell trucking movie called Breakdown, where the villains were truckers. And then. I mean, it's kind of still how they're portrayed these days in media. I really don't think it helps that the FBI released this five-year study back in 2009 that linked long haul trucking to serial killers. Jessika: Oh. Wow. Mike: Yeah. And it's one of those things where it's not saying all long haul truckers are a majority of long haul, truckers are serial killers, but that there are a number of serial killers who are long haul truckers. And it makes sense because there's a lack of supervision. And also you can pick someone up in one state, killed them in another and then drop them off, dump the body in a third. And also a lot of times the people that they pick up are people that no one really misses. Jessika: Yeah. Yeah. Mike: On that high note. [00:39:00] The funny thing is that this isn't where Ulysses S. Archer's story ends. So even though this was a licensed comic book for a company that was eventually acquired by Mattel, it seems like Marvel still owns the rights to the characters themselves because Ulysses pops up every now and then he's usually like the supporting character but sometimes it's as to this one-off deep cut. So he appeared in a couple of issues of John Burns, Sensational She Hulk in the early nineties, he was supporting the She Hulk for a few issues. There was a brief cameo and the 2010 series new Avengers where he applied to be a babysitter for Luke Cage and Jessica Jones' daughter Jessika: Oh, geez. Mike: It was, it was actually pretty funny. He wound up helping out Rocket Raccoon in this backup story of a 2011 series called the Annihilaters, and then he also teamed up with Deadpool around the same time. And that's the issue where you see, it looks like he's actually got a fully replaced skull made out of metal. They, they, they do one of those like cross section cuts where you see [00:40:00] where you see underneath the scan, it looks like he's got just an all-metal skull. Jessika: Yeah. Mike: Yeah. And then after that, we haven't heard much about him in the Marvel Universe, but weirdly his brother Jefferson has appeared a bit too. So, he was listed as a character in the Dark Reign files, which was a who's who guide to various Marvel villains in 2009. And it actually retcon his story. Basically it claims that the highway man, after staying on earth wound up actually cutting a deal with Satan, in quotes, whoever that is. And then he wound up fighting against ghost writer. And then aside from the issue where Deadpool teamed up with his brother, he winds up fighting against Deadpool again in 2016 or so. Jessika: That's super random. Mike: Yeah. And now we're in 2021 and it's been a few years since we've seen Ulysses and his friends show up. But I personally think that we're kind of overdue to have them come back like. Jessika: I [00:41:00] want to see Poppa Wheelie in something. Mike: Right. I would love to see him show up as a strong support character in one of those like heroes on the run stories where, whatever hero of the book is being pursued by, the government or something like that. And then he basically winds up providing kind of a mobile base of operations or something like that. And then he helps them keep our heroes one step ahead of the law. Jessika: Yeah. Like he floats down on the Shortstop, like space station or something. Yeah. That'd be cool as heck. Mike: Yeah or something, I mean, there's so many different ways you could go, you could have him come back to earth and he just winds up working as a trucker again, because that's what he really likes. He misses driving through the natural beauty of America, something like that. You know, I think there could be some really fun opportunities. And I really hope that Marvel brings him back at some point, because he was just this really fun, weird character. And it was strange and it was silly, but it was also very sweet. So that is U.S. 1 in a nutshell, [00:42:00] what are your final thoughts on it? Jessika: I think it was a lot of fun. It was bananagrams, you know, all the way to the top, but it was fun. Mike: Yeah. All right. It is now time for that part of the episode called Brain Wrinkles, which is when we like to discuss things that are Comics related that are just sticking in our head and won't get out. Do you mind if I go first? Jessika: Oh, please do. Mike: All right. I was going to talk about the recent news that Marvel's hired someone to direct Blade, but I'm actually way more excited about something else. There's this podcast called Comic Book Couples Counseling, which is this absolutely rad show. It's hosted by married couple, Brad and Lisa Gullickson, and they take relationships between comics characters, and then examine them through the lens of different self-help love gurus. So they've been super supportive of us so far. Like they've actually retweeted [00:43:00] our stuff and their show is really fun. But, I was recently reading through a whole bunch of nineties Valiant comics that I managed to pick up from the Bat Cave in Santa Rosa when they have this blind box sale. And one of the series contained in these boxes is called the Second Life of Dr. Mirage. And it's one of the series that I collected when I was a kid it's about this married couple named Hwen Fong and Carmen Ruiz, who were his pair of psychologists. Hwen is this kind of like nebbish little guy, and Carmen is this bruiser, like, she's the bad-ass of the pair. There's this early scene where she winds up saving him from zombies because she's a master of Kappa Wera, which is, you know, it makes sense, cause she's from Brazil. And then in the first issue, they run a foul of Valiance resident necromancer named master dark and he kills Hwen, but then Hwen comes back as a ghost, sort of a ghost kind of a thing. Jessika: Hm. Mike: But I was reading through the series and I was really struck how this was a superhero comic that actually focused on an [00:44:00] adult relationship and relationship issues that come along with the supernatural stuff, like early on Carmen has a pretty heartfelt talk with her undead husband about how difficult it is for her emotionally, because he's still with her, but she can't touch him. Jessika: Oh my god. Mike: And anyway, so I wound up tweeting about it, cause I thought the couple would make a good topic for Comic Book Couples Counseling, and they wound up picking up all the back issues like that day. And they're going to do an episode about the characters. So I'm super excited to listen to this. Jessika: Oh, that's super fun. Mike: Yeah, Jessika: See, and I was going to talk about the same thing. Mike: I'm sorry, I stole your thunder. Jessika: No, that's okay though. They're so good. So I'm that person who has to start from episode one, because. Mike: They've got a lot of episodes too. Jessika: They do they're back to 2018. So I just went all the way back and it's so [00:45:00] fun though. I like to get that rapport. I like to make sure I have that parasocial, you know, relationship really hooked in there with all the podcasts I listen to. So, the first section that they did cause they always do kind of like a month at a time, focused on one set of characters. The first one was the relationship facets of Jean Gray and Scott Summers from the X-Men. And I love the X-Men. So, it was really neat to hear all of the different ways that they had a relationship and then they were comparing it to a book about relationships. It was very interesting. It was very topical, and I liked that they also are very sweet and introspective about their own relationship. Mike: It's really lovely. Jessika: Yeah. And like what they can do, what they can take out of it to apply to their own marriage, which is it's so sweet. So thank you guys. You guys are great. Mike: Yeah. Comic Book Couples Counseling, Brad and [00:46:00] Lisa, absolutely friends of the podcast. Jessika: Absolutely. Mike: And you know, if they ever want to come on here, they are more than welcome and we will talk about whatever they want to talk about. Jessika: Open invitation. I'll even read a I'll even. I'm not in a couple, but I'll read a self-help book. Like if that's what it takes. Mike: All right. I think that's all from us. we'll be back in two weeks and until then, we'll see you in the stacks.
