¡Bienvenidos al Club de Lectura de Zona Negativa! ¿En qué consiste esto? Pues no es más que otro Club de Lectura como cualquier otro, aunque con dos particularidades. La primera, en cada programa tenemos a un grupo de redactores en representación de alguna de nuestras secciones habituales. Y segundo particularidad, nuestros redactores tienen que hacer frente a una lectura propuesta -con mayor o menor mala baba- por los compañeros de otra sección. En el programa de hoy la sección de cine acepta el reto de la sección de cómic indie de la web. Lo harán comentando la lectura de una obra recientemente publicada en nuestro país por Norma Editorial y nominada a los Premios Eisner: Stray Dogs, del guionista Tony Fleecs, la dibujante Trish Forstner y los coloristas Brad Simpson y Lauren Perry. Un thriller publicado en Estados Unidos por Image Comics con un punto de vista muy original ya que sus protagonistas son un grupo de perretes de todas las razas, tamaños y colores que deben resolver un oscuro y sórdido misterio.

Episode 115!? This week we are giving our thoughts on "Stray Dogs", as well as going over some nerd news! I can't wait to hear what you all think of our opinion! We decided we wanted you guys to get to know the real us so we're taking a break on any real editing. Apologies ahead of time to anyone we offend. It's scary being the new dog. In this suspenseful new series, readers meet Sophie, a dog who can't remember what happened. She doesn't know how she ended up in this house. She doesn't recognize any of these other dogs. She knows something terrible happened but she just... can't... recall... Wait! Where's her lady? It's all coming back to her now, and it's enough to raise Sophie's hackles. Now Sophie has to figure out where she is, what's happening and how she's going to survive this. They say there's no such thing as a bad dog, just bad owners. STRAY DOGS is a heartbreakingly adorable suspense thriller by My Little Pony comic artists TONY FLEECS and TRISH FORSTNER. It's Lady and the Tramp meets Silence of the Lambs.

FOLLOW US ON TWITTER, AND FACEBOOK. SUPPORT OUR SHOWS ON PATREON. Full Episode Transcript Alex: What is up, y'all? 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, kicking it off with a very scary book called Alien #1 from Marvel, written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, art by Salvador Larroca. This is a big deal because this is the first of the Fox properties that is coming to Marvel. We have Predator coming down the pike. Alien is here now, and we had Phillip Kennedy Johnson on the live show talking about this book a couple of months back now when he first got on it. So he teased that, if you want to go and listen to it, but all of the teasing aside, what'd you think of this one? Justin: I thought this was great. Really captures the vibe of the Alien movies while being a compelling new story where you really feel alongside the characters. Mistakes are made. Classic Alien thing where somebody really fucks up with these things. You don't get a lot of mistakes with the alien people. Alex: The thing that I thought was really fascinating about this as a fan of the Alien franchise, and to get into spoilers for the book a little bit … It's about a military guy. He ended up getting captured by aliens, escaped. We don't know exactly how yet, but this is years later. He's retiring, trying to reconnect with his son. Definitely a theme Phillip Kennedy Johnson is playing with with his books right now with fathers and sons and connecting through this and through Superman. Alex: So that's interesting, I think, just from a reading perspective, but here, the son is a civilian, and for fans of the Alien movies, it's such a big deal when they go to Earth in this book. When they go to Earth, you see very little of it, but you see people on Earth. You see what's going on with society. You see civilians involved, and just from that fan perspective, I kind of geeked out about that beyond the fact that it seems like they're doing really interesting, weird stuff with the mythology in this comic book. Salvador Larroca's aliens in particular are terrifying. The pacing of it is alarming and upsetting in the right way. I really dug this book a lot as well. Pete, what did you think? Pete: Yeah. I agree with you. I thought the aliens looks amazing. There's a lot of great kind of splash page shots that are really powerful. The Bishop. I'm always creeped out by Bishop, and so it was creepy to see Bishop back. Yeah, and it was a very interesting story that we got to kind of see the son's side of why he doesn't care about what his father's been doing, and then we know the father's side. So it was very interesting perspective, and I think that's a cool way to, as Justin said, to put kind of a fresh spin on something that we've seen a lot of. So yeah. I thought this, as far as the first issue is concerned, does a great job of giving you something that you know and love with a little bit of newness to it. So I think well done. Justin: What I think they capture well here is the sins of the corporation in Alien are always what keeps making people act poorly, and that's what gets everyone in trouble. In this, it's all about human mistakes, and it's just the aliens are there as the force of nature that makes them pay for their mistakes, and it's just really great. Alex: Absolutely. Really bowled over by this book. Next up, Harley Quinn #1 from DC Comics, written by Stephanie Phillips, art by Riley Rossmo. This is a great team for this book, Riley Rossmo in particular on a Harley Quinn book. So much fun. Really like the tone here. Very different from the past couple of runs of Harley Quinn. I thought this was very enjoyable. What was your guys' take? Pete: Yeah. I agree. I thought the art was amazing. Really great story as far as the first issue goes. Does such a great job of grabbing the reader and getting kind of this take on Harley, and I think it's a nice take. I'm a huge fan of the animated series, but I don't want every comic to be like that. So this is, I feel like, a different enough take where it still feels like Harley Quinn, and I love the art and the storytelling. I think this is a fantastic first issue. Justin: Yeah. I think what this book … I mean, the art is so cool. It's fun how Batman is such a presence in it, and it's a little bit more of a Batman that is likable and sort of like just “Look. I'm just trying to keep an eye on you, Harley. So don't screw around.” Pete: He's like a dad. Batman's like a dad of Gotham. Justin: Yeah. Uncle Batman, and I really like this Harley because it's not like it's a huge change where she's like “I'm good now.” It's the same character who's just like “I'm trying this out. I don't know. Let's just see,” and she's sort of having fun with it, and I feel like that preserves the original spirit of the character. We talked about this on the live show this week about how Harley Quinn spun out of Batman: The Animated Series and how wild it is that a character like that can just explode and have so many iterations in all these different mediums, and now to see her back here sort of having that spirit of the original while also being the new character is great. Alex: Totally agree. Next up, Firefly Brand New Verse #1 from BOOM! Studios, written by Josh Lee Gordon, art by Fabiana Mascolo. We've had effusive praise for Greg Pak's run on the main title. This is a different artist, a different team, and it's jumping forward, I believe, 25 years in time to showing us the descendants of the original Serenity crew, what's going on with them now. So what'd you think about this? Does this hold up to the high quality of the other Firefly books? Justin: Well, I think, what I like about it is that they're taking a lot of swings. They keep moving with the Firefly story, just like “Hey. Let's tell the most interesting story no matter what the continuity really is. Let's just keep moving,” and for them to move from the past to the present into the future, or I guess, not in that order, but it's great to see, like “Oh, yeah. I'm so curious about this. What's going to happen where? What are these characters like?” They feel spiritually like the old Serenity crew, but they're all new people. Alex: Pete? Justin: It's like meeting your friends' friends, and they're nice. Pete: Yeah. I thought- Alex: Pete, I know you're probably put off by the fact that Greg Pak wasn't on this, who you love, but go ahead. Pete: Yeah. I was kind of like “Wait a second. What's going on here?” The Pak was killing this, but yeah. I like the way it kind of starts. I think it's a great kind of story, a good take, but it's one of those things where it's like when you have a to-do list and you just sleep instead of doing what you're supposed to be doing, you're putting everybody on the ship in jeopardy. That was just kind of crazy, but yeah. I enjoyed it. I thought the art was good. I thought it was fun. Justin: So you're bothered by the chores, that no one's doing their chores. Pete: Well, I'm just bothered by how casually they woke up, and they were like “Hey. Did you fix the engine?” and they were like “Well, I thought you were going to fix the engine.” Then it's like … We're on a spaceship. You can't just be that casual. Justin: What's the chore wheel like in your household? Pete: It's a lot of chores, man. All right? It's a lot. Justin: What happens if you don't do it? How does it break out? Did you get your chores done today, for instance? Pete: Yeah. Yeah. Just barely. Just barely. Alex: Oh, boy. Justin: Stakes high. Alex: Teen Titans Academy #1 from DC Comics, written by Tim Sheridan, art by Rafa Sandoval. This is exactly what it sounds like. The Titans are opening up a school in Titans Tower. Meanwhile, the Teen Titans are off doing Teen Titan stuff, and these are the Teeny Titans who are signing up. Maybe some day they're going to be Teen Titans or Titans. I said all of those words quite a bit. What'd you think about this book? Justin: Great enunciation from Alex. Hit all of his consonants really well, and that was borderline tongue twister. Pete: Yeah. I thought this was a fun story. I ship Nightfire. So I feel I'm happy that they're still out doing- Alex: Just trying to slip that in there, Pete. Justin: Dropping that knowledge. Pete: I feel like it was a little busy, but they have so many people on Teen Titans. I kind of feel like that's going to happen, but overall, I thought it was a really solid first issue. Justin: I'll tell you what, Pete. I ship Nightfire, especially in this issue. I would normally definitely be a Batwing or Nightgirl, Nightacle. Is that the right- Pete: [crosstalk 00:08:57]. Alex: Nightacle. Justin: Nightgirl is not the right answer, I don't think. Alex: Nightacle? Justin: Oraclewing? Alex: Orwing. Orwing. Justin: Orawing. Alex: Batdick. Justin: Good. But I agree. I feel like there have been a lot of books like this. Marvel does this a lot where they're like “Let's take our magic characters and make a school about them. Let's have all these young mutants be in this school,” and often it feels like the stories feel very next door to the main storyline, and this feels like a Titans books, and it's just now there's these gradations between all the different Titans. There's the Titans, the Tiny Titans, and the Teeny Titans, and there's the tall Titans, the tiptop Titans. Alex: What did you think- Pete: Guys, stop. Alex: What did you think about them having to be called Mr. Nightwing? That was pretty weird, right? Justin: What I liked about it was it felt like kids who hadn't made a plan about “Oh, what should we call ourselves?” and then someone was like “Oh, you're Mr. Nightwing,” and they're like “Okay,” and then they have to go with it. Alex: What's your first name, Mr. Nightwing? Pete: Yeah. Justin: Uh, Dave? Alex: Oh, god. I'm Dave Nightwing. Yeah. This is okay. I'm usually a sucker for these books. I thought this was all right. I liked Rafa Sandoval's art, just good superhero art across the board. Always very appropriate for Titans. I don't really know anything about the Red X, which is the big mystery here. So felt like a bit of a deep dive for anybody who is outside that continuity, but I like some of the characters. I'm definitely going to tune back for issue two and see what happens. I don't know what I'm talking about. Justin: Another binge read. Alex: Once & Future #17 from BOOM! Studios, written by Kieron Gillen, art by Dan Mora. Pete, I was a little worried about you this issue, because not as much grandma as there usually is- Justin: Yeah. Alex: … but still- Pete: Yeah, but you still- Alex: … there's a dragon. There's a lot of action. Pete: But you also got smoking grandma. Grandma's smoking in this. So that's- Alex: Smoking hot is what you're saying, right? Pete: No. That's not what I'm saying. Alex: Okay. Pete: But yeah. I like this- Alex: I ship Petema. Justin: Petema. Pete Smokingma. Smoking Petema. Pete: A lot happens in this issue. We kind of get all the pieces on the board. It was great to kind of finally see plans collides and everybody else kind of come together, kind of revealing what's going to happen moving forward. This is just non-stop glorious. Every issue is unbelievably drawn. The stories are fun. The characters are great. The art's unbelievable. I don't know why you aren't reading this book. Justin: I am, because we all read. We read a lot of comics, and I like this book, but I will say I think I need a little gear shift. I feel like we've been in this- Pete: What? Justin: I feel like we've been in- Pete: I'm not going to stand here and let you … This is an unbelievable comic. Okay? End of story. You can't put in your bullshit. This comic is fantastic. Justin: I- Alex: Well, hold on, Pete. Just to jump in, Justin, I hear what you're saying. I actually think they got there with this issue, because I've been feeling that as well. It's a lot of the grandma wandering around and being like “You don't know what's going on with these stories. There's a lot of stories,” and the son being like “Stories? Come on,” and then everybody's kind of wandering around and yelling at each other about magic stuff and stories, but this issue, what we got … It really feels like it's heading towards the endgame here. We finally know they're looking for the Holy Grail. The bad guys wanted to essentially wipe everything clean and destroy the world. The good guys, of course, want to stop them. They get a dragon, and we get this very propulsive ending of them on a dragon chasing after … I'm honestly forgetting whether it's Gawaine or Galahad who has been turned into a centaur, and I think that's part of the issue you're getting at, where it's a lot of these names being thrown out there, but I like this ending, and I'm very excited for the next issue off of this. Justin: Yeah. I mean, I like where it's going, and honestly, the stuff with Rose felt like the most interesting. She feels like she's operating sort of on her own, but it's just like you're saying. It feels like grandma and her son, #PeteMissesGrandma, #SmokingHotGrandma … It feels like they really are just like “Oh, here we go again. This story's crazy, but we have to keep doing it,” and so I'm just ready, and the Merlin stuff was interesting. I liked that, but even he's a little like “I've already got this all figured out.” So I think I just need a little refreshment with that. Pete: Unbelievable. You're unbelievable. Alex: Well, let's move on then and talk about Action Comics #1,029 from DC Comics, written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Becky Cloonan, and Michael W. Conrad, art by Phil Hester and Michael Avon Oeming. In the front story, we're getting a tale of Superman and his son, as we talked about a little bit earlier. In the back story, we're finding out what's going on with Midnighter after Future State. This directly picks up on that in a very surprising way. What'd you think about this one? Pete: I thought this was a very touching story. Love the kind of like Superman taking about being a human and this whole father-son back and forth stuff. It's really speaking to me. I very much enjoyed this. The Midnighter story is freaking me out. Justin: It's different Midnighter. Pete: Yeah. Yeah. I love how stylized the art is. I think it's a cool take on Midnighter, but I'm nervous to see how this is all going to unfold, and I don't like the fact that they're not talking to each other. You know what I mean? You're supposed to be able to talk to your partner. Justin: Are you talking about him and the computer in his brain? Pete: No. Him and Apollo. Justin: Yeah. What I will say is it is a very different take on Midnighter, but it feels like Apollo is still the one who's knocking on the door at the end. Pete: Still the one. Justin: That's what I'm saying. So that must give you some reassurance, and the front story, I thought, was great, really keying in on this idea of fathers and sons, and sons losing fathers, and fathers realizing that the sons are realizing that they're eventually going to lose their father. It's just great idea and echo storytelling, and then the last couple pages, setting up the sort of creepy Warworld Rising stuff, I'm into. Alex: I'm into it too, and I like how they are tying in the DC Future State stuff. Now, the other thing … This is news that I believe leaked early this week before they were going to let it out, but it seems clear now in retrospect how they're setting this up with Superman potentially being taken off the board so that John Kent is going to move into the Superman role. We got this Midnighter backup which seems like it should be unrelated to a Superman thing, but it turns out that DC is going to be launching some sort of a Superman and The Authority series by Grant Morrison with art by Mikel Janin- Pete: What? Alex: … which this seems to be setting up directly, in my mind. We don't know much more about it other than that, but that certainly seems to be where they're going, and that is very cool. Justin: Yeah. I mean, Grant Morrison back in the game? Not sort of existing on the periphery being like “Hey. Did you think I could make this Green Lantern book weirder?” and then he does. That'll be interesting. Alex: Yeah. That's great. It's also great to see Michael Avon Oeming on a regular book as well. I really like his stuff on Midnighter, and that's a lot of fun. Let's move on, talk about Haha #3 from Image Comics. Justin: Haha. Pete: Oh, here we go. Justin: Hoo-ah. Alex: Hoo-ah #3, following the adventures of Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman land. It's been a great ride. I can't believe we've gotten here. The continuity has been very dense, but really getting that back story of how did he find the scent of a woman? How did he come up with hoo-ah? It's been a wonderful ride, and [crosstalk 00:17:04]. Justin: How did he come up with hoo-ah? Alex: It is written by W. Maxwell Prince, art and cover by Roger Langridge. I love this team. I was so excited about this. This is a anthology book where W. Maxwell Prince is taking his regular creepiness from Ice Cream Man and applying it specifically to different types of clowns. This issue, we get a mime issue, a mime who is friends with a robot. Justin: Love a mime. Pete: The worst. Alex: Roger Langridge, one of my absolute favorite creators. He did Thor: The Mighty Avenger. He did Snarked is the book that he did that was all a riff on Lewis Carroll stuff. That is awesome. He did an amazing Muppets book, if you never checked it out. It's definitely much more surreal and fantasy based than the previous two issues that were very realistic and dark takes, but man, I love this book. It was so good. Maybe my favorite of the week. What did you guys think? Justin: Favorite of the week? Pete: I hated it. Justin: You hated it? Pete: Yeah. I don't like mimes. I think they're creepy, and this proves my point. Justin: Wait. Rank sort of the clowns, the different genres of clown, in sort of least scary to scariest. Pete: Well, first off, I think … No offense to Alex's wife, but I think that [crosstalk 00:18:21]- Alex: But I hate your wife. Pete: Yeah. I think- Alex: No offense to your wife. I hate your wife. Pete: No. Your wife is an unbelievable person. I don't know how she puts up with you. Justin: Wait. You're considering wife a different genre of clown? Pete: No. I just don't want to speak poorly of clowns, and Alex's wife was an amazing clown. That's a separate category. I want to try and make that clear. Alex: Just to be clear before you get to into it, Pete, of course we're going to break this into the four types of the clown, the Whiteface, the Tramp, the Auguste, and the character. So go ahead. Pete: I don't know what- Justin: Dropping clown husband knowledge. Pete: I don't know what was just said- Justin: Auguste. Pete: … but- Alex: The Auguste. Pete: … to answer your question, Justin, clowns do freak me out. I think, sometimes you can see the sadness in their eyes, and that can be very painful, and then mimes- Justin: So give me the power rankings. So you got your mimes. You got your- Pete: Yeah. The mimes are the creepiest of them all. Justin: Really? Pete: Yeah. Justin: Why is that? Because they're not talking? Pete: Yes. I don't trust people who don't talk, and I also … Well, and you have some- Justin: Too skinny. Pete: But also, they're- Alex: Wait. Sorry. Is it that they wear stripes so they look like they just got out of prison? Pete: No. No. That makes them look French, but I think that- Alex: All French people just got out of prison. Go ahead. Justin: Yeah. Pete: Oh, that's an awful thing to say. Yeah. I don't trust mimes, and clowns can be scary is my long-winded point that you kind of dragged out. Alex: Justin, what about you? What did you think about this issue? Justin: It was great. It's very fun. it's like- Pete: Wait. It's fun? That was fun? Justin: This whole issue is very fun. I would love to see this- Pete: People died. I don't know what … What do you mean? What's fun? Justin: Hey. I got news for you. People die all the time. Pete: Oh, don't be that guy. Justin: But not robots. Think about that. I'd like to see the script of this comic to see the process, really, how they put this together, because the visuals are so good. They do so much of the storytelling, and it's just a fun, nearly silent issue where we touch on, I don't even know, just how the world sucks, finding moments whenever you can despite the weird circumstances of developing an act and becoming friends with a robot, how the dancing frog can live, can truly live if you do it right, and it's- Pete: The poor WB frog. Justin: Yeah. Alex: Great book. Definitely pick that up. Next up, another one of my favorites of the week, Batman/Superman #16 from DC Comics, written by Gene Luen Yang, art by Ivan Reis. In this book, we're getting two tales told simultaneously of Golden Age, I think, I would say, Superman and Batman through film … not strips, but old-timey film reels. On the top, you got Superman. On the bottom, you got Batman. Like they say at the beginning, you can read them separately. I kind of recommend reading them together, because, spoiler, they actually start to tie together at the end there. This is a very cool, really fun issue that I enjoyed quite a bit. Justin: Yeah. This issue, I feel like, really just stands alone. I mean, I know it is tying into a larger story, but it really is just a super innovative way of telling these two stories, and you sort of think one thing, and then there are some reveals later on that you're like “Oh, huh. Okay,” and like Alex said, things sort of come together in the end. Just a really innovative issue, I thought. Pete: I'm glad you guys liked it. Alex: Pete, you're so negative this week. Pete: Not really. Alex: Okay. Well, let's move on then to Crimson Flower #3 from Dark Horse Comics, written by Matt Kindt, art by Matt Lesniewski. Pete, lots of people die. There's a lot of blood in this one as our main character hones in on her target. What'd you think about this? Pete: I very much enjoyed this. I thought this was a really great villain reveal. We thought it was kind of like one villain, and then kind of through the villain monologue, you got to see kind of how dark and twisted this villain actually was. So yeah. I really liked it. I like these scarf powers, and I think the art's creepy and twisted in all the right ways. It's a very interesting, cool book, and again, it's like there's not a lot of … There isn't too much dialogue. So it's not a heavy read. I very much enjoyed this. Justin: Yeah. I like this a lot. The art is really cool. I wish we had talked to Matt Kindt about this book. Pete: Yeah. Alex: We messed up. Justin: Yeah. We messed up, because we had him on the live show recently, and this would have been a good one, because I think maybe we had just read the previous issue, which I think we all enjoyed. Yeah. It's hard to pin this story down. It's a really unique story. it's a revenge tale, and the art really just really showcases the storytelling that's happening here in a way that is really surprising. Alex: This is probably the wrong thing, but the art almost feels like a medieval tapestry come to life in a certain way in terms of how- Pete: Oh, interesting. Alex: … it's laid out and the way that they have these stories inside of stories inside of stories. Very fascinating book. I highly recommend picking it up. Justin: Yeah. Alex: Next up, Detective Comics #1,034 from DC Comics, written by Mariko Tamaki and Joshua Williamson, art by Dan Mora and Gleb Melnikov. This is telling a story of a kind of poor but still doing okay for himself Bruce Wayne. What'd you think about this one? Pete: I- Alex: I mean, he's doing fine. They're making a big deal about “I don't have my money. I only have 18 Batcaves and this really nice apartment in a good part of Gotham. That's it. Pete: Yeah. Justin: Yeah, and he's like “It's crazy. I have neighbors now,”- Pete: Yeah. It's- Justin: … and it's like “Yeah. I know. We all have neighbors, asshole.” Pete: Yeah. It's weird to see Batman kind of dealing with people, but I do really love the art. I really loved the moment where the bad guy sees Batman and is like “Crap.” That was just fun. Yeah. I think it's an interesting story. I really like the backup as well. I feel like it's a great package. Justin: It's a great package. Pete: You love a good package. Justin: Yeah. I like this a lot too, and oddly we've talked a lot about Batman: The Animated Series, but this feels like Batman is warming up a little bit and becoming more like that Bruce Wayne from Batman: The Animated Series, where he has to talk to people and he has to be like a normal person sometimes, and maybe that's what it's like when you lose money and come back down to Earth and get with the people. Bruce Wayne, get with the people. Meet your neighbors. Alex: Oh, I thought you were going to say something else after that. You said “Meet your neighbors.” You went up, and then- Pete: Yeah. Yeah. I thought- Justin: Meet your neighbors. Pete: [crosstalk 00:25:49]. Justin: That's what I'm saying. Do it. Go do it. Pete: [crosstalk 00:25:50]. Alex: Oh, that was it. Okay. It was a punctuation point. Justin: Meet your neighbors. Alex: Yeah. Good story. Let's move on, talk about The- Justin: Alex, go meet your neighbors. Alex: I would love to, but coronavirus. The Scumbag #6 from Image Comics, written by Rick Remender, art by Bengal, dealing with the last arc. Here, we got our main Scumbag is now a super celebrity. He has blown the lid on all the things he's done to save the Earth while having a big party in his new mansion, and then new threats come his way. What'd you think, Pete? Pete: Yeah. I feel like this is Remender having a lot of fun, a lot of cool metal references going on here, which was fun. Yeah. I mean, talking crack pipe. I mean, who doesn't love that? But yeah. It was just tough because I felt like we had gotten somewhere with Scumbag as a character. It seems he regressed a little bit. I felt like he kind of did some things where he was doing things for the better of him, himself, and the team and moving towards being a hero, but now with this, it's kind of like he went backwards a little bit. So that part's a little frustrating, but a lot of really fun art, crazy, over the top, just stupid stuff. Justin: But what I like about this is Remender knows to bring this character back to sort of what he is, and yes, there's a hero in him, but we don't want him to be the hero yet. He has to continue to be the hard partying Scumbag, and that's what he is as he's thrown into a different superhero situation, which I'm excited to see how that plays out. Alex: Next up, I know this is one of Pete's favorite Barbalien, Red Planet #5 from Dark Horse comics, script by Tate Brombal, story by Jeff Lemire and Tate Brombal. I cannot say that last name. I'm so sorry. Art by Gabriel Hernandez Walta. This is about the Martian Manhunter-esque part of the Black Hammer universe. He is gay. He is dealing with that. He is also dealing with being trapped on his own planet at some point. Pete, talk about this book. Why did this one strike you in particular? Pete: Well, it's a very powerful book. I mean, you got people fighting for their rights, what they believe in. There's a lot of great protest moments. There's very powerful page with blood spilled on it. They're saying a lot of great stuff in this book. They're talking about the collective. They're talking about us as humans trying to grow and fight for things. It's very, very powerful, very cool. Love the imagery and the art, and it's just really well done. Justin: Yeah. I mean, I agree. I feel like we've been talking up the Black Hammer sort of side universe so much lately, and it really is just like this great, creative explosion that's happening over in the Dark Horse universe, and this story … We've been talking a lot about the sort of episodic series, and this is just a great standalone story that has blown out that really takes you along for a great ride. Alex: Really good book. Definitely agree. Next up, one of the darkest books of the week, Stray Dogs #2 from Image Comics, written by Tony Fleecs, art by Trish Forstner. So we reviewed, really liked, I think, the first issue of this book, which took a bunch of dogs, brought them together, and it turns out that maybe their owner is murdering women and stealing the dogs. We get deeper into that mystery this issue. I think you kind of called this out last issue, Justin, but it very much feels like Law & Order Don Bluth or something like that, and it's kind of upsetting to read, in a certain way. Justin: It is upsetting, because these dogs are witness to this killer who is continuing to kill. I mean, we don't know that for sure yet, I guess, but the way it's like all these dogs, definitely drawn in the style of the Don Bluth Disney, very cute, lovable dogs that are just like “We're in a dog story about dogs just trying to get by and then fall in love and then eventually go home and have Lady and Tramp children,” but instead it's like this super dark … The dogs are witnessing and realizing that their current owner is a killer. It's so dark, and I was so surprised by this, and it's great. Pete: Yeah. It's very interesting, kind of this thing of what if the person who is raising you, taking care of you, feeding you, all these things, is a horrible, horrible person? It's like, what do you go on? Do you go on the fact that “Oh, but they provide for me, and they're nice, and they take me out,” and all these things, and then “Oh, but I don't see the murders”? It's very interesting perspective. It's very messed up and done in this adorable art that makes it even darker, but it's this tale that hopefully these dogs can hopefully get to the bottom of and make a difference, but man, it's a crazy start, for sure. Justin: Yeah. I mean, I say this a lot. I hope these dogs can solve that human murder. Pete: Yeah. Alex: Last but not least, Post Americano #4 from Image Comics, story and art by Steve Skroce. In this issue, our heroes, I guess, have been captured. One of them has reconnected with their mom, and entering the fray is what looks like a superhero and a werewolf. I love this book so much more than I think I would every single time out of the gate, because it's just so weird and funny and violent in exactly the right way, and I keep going into it thinking “This will be the issue. This will be the one that turns me. This is when they'll go too far,” and they never do. It just skirts that line perfectly. Justin: Well, and I think this issue does a great job of having this heartfelt reunion between our mother and daughter characters here, and it's really sweet and taken very seriously, and then the back half of the issue or back third of the issue is this wild nonsense superhero showcase. Pete: Yeah. It's completely over the top, tons of violence. Each issue is crazier than the last, and you're like “Oh, they can't top that,” but then this issue does, and it kind of makes fun of itself in the process, but man, really fun. Great read. The art's fantastic. A lot of cool characters. I mean, I love the car. I thought the car was so great. Such an awesome entrance, but it did hurt when that mint issue #1 got trashed by the guy in the tie. That hurt. Alex: Good stuff. If you'd like to support our podcast- Justin: Heartbreaking.

Alex: And on The Stack, we talk about a bunch of books that have come out this week, or do we? Or do we? Justin: Way to create some intrigue. That's right. Alex: Because the first book that we're going to talk about is a book that doesn't come out until next week, but we're going to do a spoiler-free review of it. It is- Justin: A preview review. Alex: Preview review. It is Berserker #1 from BOOM! Studios, written by none other than Keanu Reeves and Matt Kindt, illustrated by Ron Garney. Pete: Oh, no wonder. Justin: I've been following Keanu Reeves's comic book work for a long time, and it's great to see just a brand-new book with his name on it. Alex: Yeah. It was great. Pete: That was driving me fucking crazy. I did not notice that he wrote this. Alex: Wait. Really? Pete: That's hilarious. Yeah. I was like- Alex: You were like “Oh, it looks like Keanu Reeves in this book?” Pete: … “Why does the guy look so much like fucking Keanu Reeves?” Oh, that's hilarious. Alex: Well, I mean, I got to say, I mean, who knows how much he was sitting down at his typewriter being like “Scene one. Berserker. Open on me”? But a lot of times, I feel like there are these insert-style comics that just don't work. They're star vehicles. They're trying to set up a movie, and they just … They're not comics. They're pitch sheets, and that's pretty much it. That's not what this is at all. Not only do you have Ron Garney's phenomenal art throughout- Pete: Yeah. Justin: I love Ron Garney, and I feel like he hasn't been doing enough stuff lately. So it's great to see his work here. Alex: So that's great, but also you got Matt Kindt, who knows his way around an intrigue storyline, a sci-fi storyline. Again, we're going to skirt spoilers but not get into any here. But even though the main character is clearly Keanu Reeves, this is a really interesting sci-fi story. It's a great action story. A lot of times, they just step back and let Ron Garney do his thing. I was very surprised and very impressed by this book. Justin: Yeah. It's one of those books that when you're reading the first bit of it, it's like “I see what this is,” and then by the end you're like “I was completely wrong. It's totally different, and I am excited by where it landed.” Alex: Pete? Pete: Yeah. I mean, I've been reminded numerous times not to give away anything, but man, that ending. Am I right? Oh, shit. No, but yeah. The art and action is phenomenal. This is definitely in my wheelhouse, less dialogue, more action. Come on. Alex: It's really good stuff. I mean, this is already a huge selling comic book. I think they sold 600,000 copies, making it the best-selling original property comic book in like five years or a decade or something like that. I'm forgetting what the exact stat is. Pete: Wait. It hasn't come out yet. What are you even talking about? Alex: Well, the way comics book work, Pete, is that people pre-order them through their comic book shops in order to guarantee that they're going to be there. So that's what they've been doing. So they sold that many copies to comic book shops. So obviously, big deal. People are really excited. The thing that I think is not a happy accident, but happy surprise about it, is that they're going to get what they paid for. They're going to get a good, very cool comic book. So I'm excited for everybody to check it out when it hits stands next week. Justin: Exactly. Next week. If you love The Lake House, you're going to love Berserker. Alex: I'm sending that directly to BOOM! Studios. That's their pull quote. Justin: Two great Keanu [crosstalk 00:03:36]. Pete: I don't know if I've seen that, but okay. Justin: It's not a spoiler when I say the mail is in the mailbox with this comic. Alex: Hold on. Hold on. Let me try this. Pete: Oh, my god. Alex: If you love Always Be My Maybe, check out Berserker #1 from BOOM! Studios. Pete: Wow. Wow. Justin: The comic book club bump is coming for Berserker right now. Alex: Has he done any other movies, Keanu Reeves? Justin: Keanu Reeves? I can't think of any. Pete: A ton. A ton of movies. Justin: Well, there was Bill and Ted's Excellent Lake House. Pete: Right. Alex: Bill and Ted's Excellent Always Be My Maybe. Justin: Yep. There's that. I think that's the whole thing. Alex: I think that's it. Anyway, this book is great. Definitely pick it up if you haven't, or pre-order it if you haven't already. Next up, here's a book that's actually out this week, Stray Dogs #1 from Image Comics, written by Tony Fleecs, art by Trish Forstner. So this is about, as you can tell from the title, it's not like stray … I honestly thought, because it was an Image book and it was called Stray Dogs, and it's like “What's up? We're a bunch of criminals called the Stray Dogs.” No. It's literally stray dogs. There's still a crime element. There's still a mystery element, but I was surprised about this. I'm curious to hear what Pete thought in particular. Justin: Yes. Pete: All right. So first- Justin: Because he's a cat guy. He's a cat guy. So- Pete: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. But I saw that cover, and I was like “Oh, this is going to fucking break my heart,” and it did. It's got some feels in this thing, and I was really impressed with the story. I thought maybe it was just going to be cute dogs, which would have been fine, but yeah. I thought it really ended well. It sets up this whole arc. I'm impressed with this, and I can't wait for more. I'm really on board here. Justin: This book also surprised me, and I did … The last third of it is so good. They assemble like an Avengers: Endgame level group of mid-period Disney dogs here. This is like your Fox and the Hounds, your 101 Dalmatians, your Lady and the Tramps. They're all here, and I don't think we want to spoil it, maybe, but I think there's going to be some bad dogs in here. There's going to be some good girls and some bad dogs. Pete: Oh, my god. Love it. Alex: Yeah. Good stuff. Again, a nice surprise. Let's move on with our next book, and I'm going to tell you what it is, and then I'm going to give you a little peek behind the curtain here. Okay? So our next book, before the shouting begins, is The Amazing Spider-Man #60. Pete: Oh, fuck you. Justin: Oh, no. Alex: Hold up. Written by Nick Spencer, pencils by Mark Bagley. Now, we've been talking a lot about Amazing Spider-Man, the Last Remains storyline, this whole thing about Kindred, this villain that turns out to be Harry Osborn, who's been [inaudible 00:06:18] Spider-Man in the background. Pete: But- Alex: Hold on. Let me just finish what I'm saying, and then I'm going to allow you to shout, Pete. But I think we kind of agreed that it sort of started to fizzle at a certain point. They're dragging out the Kindred reveal for too long. I've still been reading it. I've been reading each issue because I like Spider-Man and I enjoy reading it, but I haven't felt like … We don't need to talk about the same story [inaudible 00:06:43] again and again. So before I set down the stack for this week with the choices of issues, particularly Marvel, I was like “Well, let me just read and see what happens in Spider-Man,” because the cover of this is Mary Jane and Peter surrounded by the centipedes from Kindred, and I read this book, and I was like “Oh, we got to talk about this.” Justin: Yes. Alex: We have to talk about this, because I want to hear Pete shout. Go ahead, Pete. Pete: Okay. So first off, to kind of peek behind the curtain a little bit, Zalben has been pushing the envelope for how many fucking comics we talk about, and he sends out this ridiculous list that we have to read all these comics. Alex: Nobody is forcing you to do that. Pete: Hey. I love reading comics, but I got a full-time job. We got other stuff going on, and he keeps pushing the number. He said “Oh, we'll cap it at 20.” Alex: I never said that. Pete: Hasn't been capped at 20 in a long time. Alex: I never said that. Pete: So then he gives us this giant fucking list, and then goes “Oh, two more,” and guess what one of the fucking two is. Amazing Spider-Man, and I was like “You motherfucker. Always pushing.” Justin: This is not the shout I expected to hear, just FYI. Alex: Not at all. Justin: Imagine tiny- Alex: [crosstalk 00:07:50]. Justin: Imagine- Pete: I was saying that “Oh, there has to be a reason he pushed this,” like “Oh, just these two Marvel. No big deal. We're just going to just do two Marvel because we got so many other comics,” and I knew. I knew Spider-Man had to be a fucking doozy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fucking pushed it through, and yeah, and here we go again. Here we fucking go again. You want to open a fucking wound and fucking relive some nightmares? Well, guess what. We got fucking Mephisto, and it's going to fucking relive some god damn nightmares. Justin: Here's the thing though, Pete. First off, let me say, imagine little Pete LePage, Petey, as we call him- Pete: No. Justin: … dreaming of his future as an adult, and your biggest complaint right now is that your friend is making you read too many comics? Little Petey LePage would drive his little big wheel right into a brick wall if he heard that. Alex: “You're telling me this is my job?” I mean, well, let's not go that far. Justin: Well, not technically a job, but it's like- Pete: You get paid to do a job, asshole. All right? Alex: That's what I'm saying. Pete: We're not … Yeah. So I do have a job where I work and get paid, and then we go this out of the love of our hearts, and then one person keeps fucking pushing the envelope by overloading us. Justin: I love comics. I would read more. Give me more. Alex: I agree, and to clarify, we said we would cap it at 50 to 75 books a week, tops. Justin: Let's talk about this Spider-Man book, because let me see- Alex: No. I don't think so. Can you also give us a peek behind the curtain, Justin? Justin: Yeah. Pete: Yeah. Give us a peek behind the curtain, Justin. Justin: Sorry. The only curtain I'm behind is a shower curtain, and it's sheer. It's invisible. I'm nude in front of you all, all the time. I'm [crosstalk 00:09:33]. Pete: Gross. Justin: Just a little imagery to preface this review. So this book though, Pete … It's got Peter and Mary Jane being as close as they've been in a decade. Pete: Yeah, and then it does the classic bullshit where Peter leaves and then Mary Jane's got some weird shit going on with the villain. Justin: Well, here's the thing. To your point, Alex, I actually didn't really like a lot of the lead up to the reveals here. I feel like Nick Spencer used to have a really good Spider-Man and a really good Peter Parker. It felt like it was back to the very core of the character, struggling to get by, has a bunch of roommates that he shouldn't be hanging out with, messing up all the time, and now it's like it's so sentimental. It's this sort of sanctimonious Peter Parker that we see a lot over the course of the years, but it's not the fun Peter Parker, and it's too melodramatic for me, and then by the end of it, I was excited about the reveal at the end of the book and even the stuff that Pete's talking about with the villain. At least that's interesting, because this Peter Parker's not a person I'm loving right now. Alex: Well, and that's the point of the book, right? I think they're taking a really long time to get around to it, but what is nice about this issue is it feels like one of those classic Ultimate Spider-Man issues that Brian Michael Bendis would do, where it's just a conversation, and in this case, it's Peter talking to Mary Jane. She's trying to help him through the stuff he's going through, and he says exactly what you're talking about, where he's like “Why is my life like this? Why am I still in this place that I'm in? What is going on here?” and by the end … Spoiler, but we've already spoiled it. The revelation is it's probably Mephisto all over again fucking with Peter Parker's life. Probably, there's no way around. If they don't loop back to One More Day at this point, I don't know what he's doing in this storyline, but that's fascinating to me, what direction they're going in. It's nerveracking, but it's fascinating. Pete: Yeah. Well, I'm not fascinated, but I did really like the part of MJ talking about this exercise that helps you kind of work through shit, and I thought that was very cool to have a superhero kind of do a therapy exercise and be like “Hey. Therapy's okay. It's okay to talk about your feelings in a safe space and get it out and see what it feels like to say these things out loud.” I thought that was very powerful and very cool, but then you got to fucking ruin it with Mephisto shit, and it's like, either we're moving on and that bullshit happened and somehow we have to live with it and move forward, or you better fucking undo that bullshit and then we can get back to our lives. Fucking make a choice, man, because I'm sick of this shit. Alex: All right. Well, let's move on to Two Moons #1 from Image Comics, written by John Arcudi, art by Valerio Giangiordano. This is set in the Civil War following a soldier who starts seeing some demons or something. We're not 100 percent sure what's going on, but the art in here is terrifying and scary. Pete: He sees the monster from Critters is what it looks like. Alex: But it's just somebody's head, to be clear. Justin: Yeah. He's got a critter on his head. Pete: Yeah. It's a critter head. Alex: Classic critter head. Yeah. Yeah. Justin: You guys both sort of felt like you were saying something that you shouldn't be saying, for a second. Alex: I mean, in my family, when I grew up, we were never supposed to say critter head. Justin: Yeah. Say it three times, and then you have yourself a critter head. I like this book as well. This was a good sort of scary story in a time we don't see very much, especially from this perspective. Pete: Yeah. I mean, the art's really unbelievable. This is a very interesting story. It's also the take about the nurse getting upset about the fact that when you run out of ammunition, they'll use whatever scraps of metals they can, and then kind of her reaction is very interesting and very intense. So I think this is a really kind of interesting, original idea set in a shitty time period. Alex: Sure. There you go. Couldn't disagree with that. Let's move on to our Future State block, as we've been doing all the past couple of weeks, talking about everything that's come out from Future State. I'll list the books, and then we'll talk about some of our highlights. We've got House of El #1, Aquaman #2, Legion of Superheroes #2, Superman vs. Imperious Lex #2, Suicide Squad #2, Dark Detective #4, and Batman/Superman #2, and to give you a little peek behind the curtain here, it's interesting that Pete was complaining about too many titles being in our stack, because at least the past two weeks we've talked about the Future State block, Pete has read extra titles from DC and then talked about them on the show. Justin: Yeah, and dropped them in. Alex: There you go. So Pete, any extra titles you want to talk about here? Pete: No. No, but if we would like to peek behind the curtain, I think you're a piece of shit. Alex: All right. That's fine. Justin: Again, here's me, nude behind a very crystal-clear sheer curtain. Alex: Pete, what jumped out at you? What did you like this week? Pete: All right. Well, I liked a lot of things, but the one book I didn't want to like, but then the sappy ending kind of got me in the feels, was the House of El #1. Sometimes we get in the house of stuff. I don't know. Justin: Yeah. You don't like houses. Pete: Yeah. I don't like houses. I don't like the kind of historical Superman shit where everybody is talking about their logos and all the weird shit. It doesn't get me excited, but I was really impressed with this book because I read it like “Harumph. I don't want to like you,” and then it won me over. I would say one of my favorites was Batman/Superman- Justin: Here. Wait. Can we talk about that real quick? Pete: Sure. Sure. Justin: Sorry. Sorry, but I loved this book. I know I feel like I've been on a Phillip Kennedy Johnson love fest, but man, this is another great book by him that is just a hundred percent fun. It's mixing a lot of the stuff he does in The Last God with a Superman-focused version of the Legion, and it reads like just a great Legion book with all these different version of Superman kin that are out there trying to just save the world and maintain their household and mix in with these sort of light fantasy elements. It's just a great book. Alex: Pete, what about you? You were about to call out Dark Detective, I believe. Pete: Well, I have been enjoying that, and yes, I did love Dark Detective #4. Very intense. I love this no more shadows, like “Oh, shit. What does that mean?” Also, great backup story. I thought this was a very intense, cool Batman book. I'm very excited to see where this goes. Anybody else want to jump in on this one? Alex: Yeah. Sure. Was that not the one you were going to call out? I thought that's what you started saying. Pete: No. It was Batman/Superman #2. Alex: Oh, okay. Sorry to put you on the spot there, but I do really like the backup. We talked about this last time, this Joshua Williamson and Giannis Milonogiannis, and they're doing basically Red Hood, but Akira, and it's super fun. I had a blast reading that. But you want to talk about Future State Batman/Superman #2? Justin: Real quick. Alex: Oh, yeah. Justin: It's very funny seeing the Red Hood hood on him, where it just goes right to the … It's just such a weird looking thing, but this has been one of the best version of Bruce Wayne that I feel like we've seen in Batman comics in a long time, this Dark Detective series. Pete: Yeah. Yeah. It's really cool. But Batman/Superman #2, really unbelievable action. I really am loving the kind of mystery and the kind of who-done-it with this team up. I love it when Batman and Superman get along, but I also like it when they fight, and I feel like this was a really cool, great kind of fight between Superman and Batman, and I thought this was really cool. Alex: Yeah. It's a good book as well. For me, man, it's tough. Again, a very good week for books from Future State. All of this stuff has been really good. It's a little bit of a tie. There's one that eked it out a little bit more. Future State Superman vs. Imperious Lex #2 is kind of my number two here, written by Mark Russell, art by Steve Pugh. Super fun. Great Lois Lane in this book. As usual, just hilarious and pointed satire from Mark Russell. So really enjoyed that book, but the one for me that killed it was Aquaman #2. Justin: A hundred percent. That was mine. Pete: Yeah. That's what I was going to … Yeah. Alex: Everybody was leading up to that, written by Brandon Thomas, art by Daniel Sampere. Again, like I said with the first issue, I am not an Aquaman fan. I don't usually like an Aquaman story. This is god damn amazing, and if you didn't tune in to the first book, the first issue of the book, it was all about this confluence of oceans from the universe that former Aqualad, now Aquaman, and Aqualass, who by the end of the book, spoiler, is Aquawoman, have gotten trapped in. They get separated. Aquaman is imprisoned most of the last book and then finally finds out that Aqualass is alive at the end, and then we loop back and find out what happened with her. The action is so big. Everything that happens is so emotional and creative. I was blown away. Justin: I agree. This book was so good. Of all the books in Future State that I would want to replace the main title going forward, it's this. I want to see these characters going forward and seeing where they go next, because it's so good. Pete: The let go moment was so nice. Justin: Yeah. Pete: Yeah. I mean, I don't know how cool a water leg would be, but man, they really sold it in this book. Alex: It's a fish leg. It's not a water leg. It's a fish leg. Pete: Oh, okay. My bad. Justin: I mean, a fish leg would be much worse, because that shit … You've only got like two days max on that things. Pete: Before it starts smelling? Alex: Yeah. Justin: Yeah. Alex: Don't microwave it. Not in the office. That's all I'm saying. Justin: Oh, definitely. Alex: That would be gross. Justin: [crosstalk 00:19:49] case of scallop- Alex: All right. Let's move on and talk about some other books. Justin: One last thing I want to shout out. Alex: Oh, yeah. Please. Justin: We didn't talk about Legion of Superheroes #2. Want to shout out Riley Rossmo's art on this. I'd love to see a Legion book with Riley drawing it. Alex: Absolutely. Moving on, one of your favorites, Justin, The Department of Truth #6 from Image Comics, written by James Tynion IV, art by Elsa Charretier. Justin: Oh, what an accent. Alex: This is a switch up of artists for the book- Pete: Yeah. I was going to say. Alex: … and also a switch up of time periods, as we jump back in time and find out the origins of The Department of Truth. This is a awesome issue that continues, personally, to remind me of a vintage Vertigo book, where it'd be like five issues, take a break, show us some times passed thing, and then go forward with the ongoing story. So good. Justin: So good. This book is doing just such a great job of fleshing out the world of the series sort of slowly and really easing into it, and this book does a great job of sort of bringing into focus in the sort of micro with the flashback story. It's sort of a double flashback. We flashback to right after the Kennedy assassination, and then flashback to Doubting Thomas and sort of the origin of rewriting the world with a new truth, and this book is one of my favorites on the stand right now. If this were a religion, I would believe in it. Alex: Wow. Pete: Oh, shit. Wow. Justin: I'm not a religious guy, but this is the closest. I'm like “I could buy this. I could buy this fully across the board.” Pete: Wow. That is crazy. I think it's really impressive that this book can look so different from kind of book to book and still feel like a part of the same story. It's really impressive what they're pulling off here creatively, artistically. They're taking some big swings at some big ideas, and they are killing it. It's really impressive. Yeah. The paneling, the art, the way this story flows. This is a really, really impressive book that is tripping me the fuck out. Alex: This employs a technique that I usually hate in storytelling, but it completely works here, where they have a story in a story in a story. In this book, Lee Harvey Oswald, who in our current time is the head of The Department of Truth goes to his first day there, finds out the origin, so you have one … I think this is the reason it works is the art style changes with each level of the story, where it goes back in time, he's reading the origin of the story of The Department of Truth, and then one of the characters in the story starts telling the story to the other character, and then the art style changes again. It's just these multiple layers that feel very purposeful versus the usual accidental employment of that technique. Fantastic book. Definitely pick it up. Alex: Let's move on and talk about Faith #1 from BOOM! Studios, written by Jeremy Lambert, illustrated by Eleonora Carlini. This is a weird book that I was no expecting- Justin: This is a weird book. Alex: … that follows Faith as she's trapped in a movie theater, and there's some Watchers watching her, strange stuff going on. What'd you guys think of this one? Pete: Yeah. It's fantastic art. It was a little confusing because we kind of had this shadowy figure behind the main character. So I was having a hard time follow what's happening, because I was so worried about her present, in-the-movie-theater self. So it was hard to kind of let go of that and follow the story, but yeah. This is interesting. Unbelievable art. Some great action. I'm not quite sure what's happening though. Justin: Yeah. I mean, I agree. Really expressive art, I thought was … There were so many good little horror moments, and Faith's reactions throughout are great. I don't know much about Faith in the background. I don't have faith. Alex: You got to have faith. Justin: Yeah. That's the thing. Pete: The faith, the faith, the faith. Justin: But I believe in the comic book we just talked about before this one. So yeah. I didn't know much about the character, but it was a good read. Alex: Yeah. Moving on, X-Men #18 from Marvel, written by Johnathan Hickman, art by Mahmud Asrar. Give you a little peek behind the curtain. I felt like Pete would be pretty mad about Amazing Spider-Man. This one involves Laura, Wolverine, which Pete likes a lot. So I thought this would be kind of like a gimme, like balance the scales a little bit. So this is as three of the X-Men characters wander into a weird future place, as they usually do in this run of X-Men. What'd you think about this one? Justin: The Vault. Pete: Well, I'm curious about something. So why is she called Wolverine now? You know what I mean? I know Wolverine died for a little bit, and I know she was X-23, and that's cool, but then when they were referring to her as Wolverine, I was like “Why? What's-“ Justin: Well, because Wolverine doesn't … He's on the moon popping something else besides claws. So he's not really … Pete: You don't have to be an asshole when I ask a question. You could just answer it. Justin: I mean, I think there's some truth to that. Alex: There's more than on person named Pete. Justin: Wow. Pete: Yeah. Yeah. Justin: That's true. Pete: Got that, and there's also more than one person named Pete LePage, but what's your fucking point? Alex: My point is, when I search for Pete LePage, the other one comes up. Pete: Okay. So it's okay that she's called Wolverine is what you're saying? Alex: Yeah. It's fine. It's not a problem. Justin: I like it. I like her as a character. I like her as the Wolverine. I think Logan can just be Logan now, and he can go do all of his Logan stuff. Pete: That's cool. I just didn't know. I was like “Maybe I missed something,” like the passing of the Wolverine mantle or whatever. I love X-23. I have no problem with her being Wolverine. I was just like “Oh, they're straight just calling her Wolverine now.” Justin: Well, I think they're both called Wolverine. I think it's just like they're both Wolverines. There's no reason to differentiate. Pete: Then I was like “Is Wolverine a title of the fucking muscle when you going on …” I don't know. I was just wondering if maybe I'd missed something that you guys knew about, but usually, as usual, I ask you something and you just make fun of me. So all right. Alex: Oh, Pete. Justin: I'm not making fun of you. We're explaining an important plot point in the X-Men universe right now that Wolverine fucks in the moon. Pete: Cool. Cool. Alex: It did stand out to me too, to be totally- Justin: The gravity's only one-sixth. So he's floating a little bit. You know what I'm talking about? Alex: To be totally fair, it stood out to me too as son as they called her Wolverine, and then I was like “All right. They're calling her Wolverine,” and I kind of moved on from there rather than sticking with it. This is a good story. It's crazy that they introduce this whole villain team to eliminate them in one issue, but that's classic Johnathan Hickman at this point. Justin: Well, these guys have been around. The Vault was introduced a while ago. In fact, I feel like Hickman is oddly … He keeps sort of edging on the Vault. He's like “Look. The Vault. Watch out for them,” and then in this issue, they go in there and wreck shit. So it's weird what's happening here. I thought this issue was great. This issue reads like an annual standalone issue where they're just like “Let's have a fun mission,” and it's a great tactical mission. I love Darwin and Synch. Great. It's all so smartly done, but I think, in general, I'm like “What's the next move here with the X-Men?” and there are no clues. It's hard to read the tea leaves. Alex: No. It's definitely the sort of thing that I think we're going to look back at it in 15 to 30 years when Johnathan Hickman is done with this run and be like “Okay.” Pete: Yeah. “Oh.” Alex: “I get it it.” Pete: “I see now.” Yeah. Yeah, but- Justin: “Oh, The Vault.” Pete: The art's amazing, and the kind of thinking-man Sentinel thing was really awesome to kind of see as well. Yeah. I think it was really cool to kind of like “Oh, we're going to send you on this mission. You guys sweep the Vault,” and you're like “Okay. No big deal. How long will that take?” and then they realize a Vault is a whole fucking city. Pretty cool kind of “How are we going to do this?” moment. I don't know how any of this makes sense, but I thought it was a cool issue. Alex: I agree. I'm glad to hear that too, Pete, because you've been very down on the X-Men. Let's move on and talk about another James Tynion book, Something is Killing the Children #15 from BOOM! Studios, written by James Tynion IV, art by Werther Dell'Edera. Justin, I'm curious to hear from you because this is the end of the story that they've been telling for 15 issues at this point. They wrap things up. They leave things open for the next story, but that's kind of where we are, and you've been very back and forth about it. So how do you feel about this as a whole? Justin: James Tynion's a great storyteller, but I guess I still have the same feeling where I'm like “Oh, that was the whole story.” I thought there was going to be, I guess, more of a crescendo in here. I like all of the storytelling. The art in this book is fantastic. The eating of gummy worms has never been so gross. Pete: Oh, man. Yeah. Alex: Maybe you want some gummy worms, I'll tell you what. Pete: Yeah. You're so creepy, dude. Justin: Yeah, but you see regular worms, you're like “Yum, yum, gummy.” Alex: Put those in my mouth. Give me some of those sweet dirt dudes. That's what I call them. Justin: But yeah. That's my- Pete: I don't know. This felt like a ending that wasn't an ending. It felt like an ending that's like there is a bigger story to tell here- Justin: For sure. Pete: … and hopefully they will get to tell it, because this is a really great world. I've loved every single issue of this. Art's unbelievable. Love the character designs, and this cool … I feel like this is what our life is going to be like eventually. Since we're all going to be wearing masks, it's going to be just down to what does your mask say, and that's your gang affiliation or your kind of tribe, if you will. So I feel like this is a book of the future before we even know it. Alex: It's surprising to me because a lot of this specific issue was them talking about houses, which you've already got on record as not liking in this very podcast. Justin: Yeah. This guy hates houses. You want to see the apartment of El, the condo of El. Pete: Yeah. Alex: Nailbiter Returns #10 from Image Comics, written by Joshua Williamson, art by Mike Henderson, another surprising ending for a series here as we wrap up Nailbiter returning with some big revelations for the series. How'd you feel about this one? Pete: I loved it. I thought this was a cool kind of end but also tease to the to-be-continued thing at the end. That was pretty neat, but I mean, you guys have kids. So you tell me. When you guys sit around the fire to tell stories, do their faces go blank like that? Is that a normal thing that happens? Justin: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Pete: Oh, man. That's got to be tough. Alex: Every parent knows that. When you're about to have the kid in the hospital, they talk you through the birthing process. They also talk you through the fact that, hey, when you sit around a fire, kids are going to have no faces. Pete: Oh, wow. Well, I'm glad that you had the heads up on that, because as somebody who didn't know that, that was pretty scary. Justin: Well, that's because they're listening so hard, and so the rest of their features just fade away because the ears are really the focus. It's just using your resources. Alex: This book was fun. I had a blast reading it. It's definitely a big action movie versus the overall dark mystery that the first one was. Super fun, and I'm glad that they kept it to 10 issues and pretty much done, kept the story really focused. I had a good time. Pete: Yeah. Justin: I agree, and it really got into some dream logic dreaminess that I really appreciated throughout this whole series and in this issue as well. Pete: Also, it's great for people who collect eyeballs, you know? Alex: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Justin: Yes, which I think we all do, and great nail biting. We got some biting of nails. Alex: Good stuff. Pete: Finally got some nail biting in this one. Yeah. Alex: Next up, Firefly #26 from BOOM! Studios, written by Greg Pak, art by Pius Bak. The last issue we called a fresh new start for Firefly. It was taking us after Serenity, the movie, moving us forward here. The cliffhanger at the end of the last issue was it looked like Wash was alive. Here, spoiler, not exactly. There's a good twist on it. I loved the twist with Wash, actually, and I think this is a great … Without spoiling exactly what happens, this is a great way of pushing the story forward, and it feels like a tried-and-true sci-fi idea that's going to pay really good dividends with the characters. I think it's neat. Justin: It's so- Pete: I'm going to go out … Oh, go ahead. Justin: You go. Pete: I was just going to say I'm going to out on a limb and just say Greg Pak is a fucking phenomenal writer. He makes great choices. I've just not yet read something from him and not been impressed by it. Even though we knew what kind of happened, the whole thing needed to be explained to us. I was really impressed. I thought this was a fun book. Amazing art. Really cool. Justin: How is it on that limb, Pete? Because I feel like you've been out on the Pak limb for years. Pete: Yeah. Yeah. It's just me out here. Loving the Pak. Justin: I think your parents conceived you out on the Pak limb, and you've just been birthed there. Your parents heard about the facelessness around the fire, out on the limb, and now here you are, still living on the limb. Pete: Nothing like limb living. Justin: Limb living. I think it's so smart that they did a long story in the past. It was great. Greg Pak really understands the characters and really put them out there, and then to jump forward in time where we get to sort of collect them again is super fun. Well done. Alex: Yeah. I agree. Next up, Crossover #4 from Image Comics, written by Donny Cates, art by Geoff Shaw. In this issue, we're picking up with our adventurers who met Madman, the character, from Mike Allred and Laura Allred, last issue. He is going to help them get inside the dome that has covered Denver, I believe, if I remember correctly, and locked in a bunch of comics characters. We again get a bunch of cameos and fun stuff in this issue. We also get some shout outs to Donny Cates and, I believe, Geoff Shaw's own work as well. This is great. This is a blast to read, and even Donny Cates self inserting himself here is super fun. Justin: I mean, it's great to see Madman in action. That guy can yo. Alex: Yeah. Yo, yo. Pete, you got to be happy. There is a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in this issue. Pete: Oh, yeah. You got to love that. I also impressed with the art here, because it has the kind of dot, kind of old-timey kind of comic book style, which is really interesting with Madman, with kind of more vibrant characters as well. It's just really cool to see them all standing in a room. So I'm glad we got that moment. The kind of torture shit freaked me out a little bit, but man, really great story. Fun stuff. Alex: Good stuff. Next up, Skulldigger Skeleton Boy #6 from Dark Horse Comics, written by Jeff Lemire, art by Tonci Zonjic. We've been talking about a lot of the Black Hammer books. We kind of missed this one in terms of reviewing. So I figured it was worth catching up with the last issue here. I'll tell you what. I … This is all me … forgot about Tonci Zonjic. Amazing artist. Justin: Yeah. Great art. Alex: I was so happy to read this again. I was like “Oh, my god. I'm sorry I forgot you. You're so good.” Pete: Yeah. Justin: Yeah. It's so dynamic. It almost has a little Darwyn Cooke to it, but a little bit of just great, I don't know, Greg Capullo style action. Really good, and the story was great. I feel like the Black Hammer universe is just prime time right now. Pete: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I agree. The panels, the layout, the way the action flows. Really, really fun and impressive, but also some really touching moments, like the look on the kid's face. They just keep just showing the kid's face, so different in each panel in the way that it's just kind of colored. Really impressive, the way they can kind of show emotion through this still panel here. Yeah. I was just really kind of moved by this. I thought it was a really solid issue. Justin: The last page, which is almost like an epilogue to the book, just a standalone splash page, was so emotional and great. Pete: Yeah. Alex: We're not really talking about the plot here, because we didn't read the previous five. This is the last issue, but the fact that they can get across enough of the emotion and story in one issue that is the last one to people who have not read the previous five is very impressive. Pete: Yeah. Alex: Next up, let's talk about it, Ice Cream Man #23- Pete: Oh, here we go. Alex: … from Image Comics, written by W. Maxwell Prince, art by Martín Morazzo. I know Pete is scared of this one. Pete: Yeah. Alex: Yeah? Pete: Yeah. Alex: So another standalone issue of Ice Cream Man, as a lot of them are, mind you, but in this one, it's text pages interspersed with splash pages of essentially our main character, the Ice Cream Man, going on a talk show with a bunch of animals, until a snake bites the shit out of the talk show host's face. The thing that is so terrifying about this is the text pages takes place after it. So you're reading the story of the horrific things that happen to him, and you're like “Oh, we're going to see this. We're going to see this at some point. It's coming. It's coming. It's coming-“ Pete: I was like “Don't show me. Don't. You wrote about-“ Alex: “… It's coming. It's going to happen,” and the entire issue, and finally they pulled the lid off, and it's great. Another incredible one-shot issue of Ice Cream Man. Not enough good things to say about this book. Justin: I feel like W. Maxwell Prince is just sitting at home tactically trying to break down how to engineer scares in the paper and the printed medium. It's wild that he is able to continue to find new ways to stress us the fuck out. Pete: That's what's so impressive about this is each comic is so different but has that same tension, and they've done so many different creative ways to scare the shit out of us, and you think “All right. Well, how's this going to stack up? It can't be as great as the last issue.” It continues to deliver. Unbelievable, and I don't know. It seems like shots fired at Jimmy Fallon in these, but this is a crazy book that made me read, and I don't want to read, and it's still so well done I read and didn't hate it. Alex: It's good stuff. Moving on to Crimson Flower #2 from Dark Horse Comics, written by Matt Kindt, art by Matt Lesniewski. Pete, you seem to like this book. Pete: Oh, my god. Alex: This is about a bounty hunter, I guess, who is going crazy, something like that? Pete: Well, yeah. It's about a lot of things, but it's mainly about this person trying to get revenge, trying to find out who killed their father, I believe is what she's freaking out about, and just the fact of she's just driving angry, just chomping pills and half seeing reality, half seeing this tripped-out evil shit is really crazy but also very impressive what goes down, and then the whole fact of she's not going to do well but keeps kind of playing this trickery and then kind of reveals, throughout, she's telling a story within the story … I was just really impressed with this. Very creative. Very fun. Amazing art. Just really fun story. Justin: Yeah. I really liked this as well. It feels like fairy tale stories. She's like a Little Red Riding Hood but who grew up to become an- Pete: A badass. Justin: … assassin out for revenge, who crosses over with some other dudes who are sort of giants, maybe, but also just shit-head other assassins. It's really fun. Pete: What's awesome is it starts off and it kind of reminds me a little bit of Locke & Key, the paneling and just the different kind of character designs, but then just kind of goes off into its own completely different thing, and yeah. I just think it really worked on a lot of levels. Alex: Next- Justin: That art's sort of reminiscent of … Sorry … of Black Hole. Alex: Oh, yeah. I can see that. Justin: In a good way. Alex: Next up, Post Americana #3 from Image Comics, story and art by Steve Steve Skroce. As we've been talking about with the last couple of issues of this book, this is a satirical, post-apocalyptic tale about a guy who's kind of trying to save the world but mostly messing it up. Continues to be gross and funny in exactly the right way. I'm enjoying this book. I'm having a fun time reading it. How about you guys? Justin: I agree. The art, I feel like, really took a step up in this issue. We get a lot of close-ups on the characters, and it really … I think the earlier issues were a little wild, and it's like cannibals fucking around. So it was a little loose. Everything really tightens up in this issue. We get a lot of back story, and I think the art mirrors that in a way that I thought was just very smart. Pete: Yeah. I agree. I think the art is great. There's amazing action, and the story does tighten up, and things start to kind of make more sense, and we're able to kind of follow things a little bit easier, which is great, but the classic … When somebody comes to visit unannounced, you almost kill them. So you really got to be careful when you go to somebody's house, guys. Justin: Yeah. By the way, Pete, we're coming to your house at 4:04. So put your ax down when we stop by. Pete: Yeah. You might want to text me, because I just want to not accidentally ax you. Justin: Ax-identally. Alex: Ax-identally. Thanks for [crosstalk 00:42:27] audio podcast. Justin: It'll work in court. Pete: Yeah. No problem. Alex: You Look Like Death- Justin: Joke heard and acknowledged. Alex: You Look Like Death #6 from Dark Horse Comics, written by Garard Way- Pete: You look like death. Alex: … art by Shaun Simon. This is a tale from the Umbrella Academy. We are wrapping it up of Klaus's time in Hollywood. It wraps back to the beginning. You had to love this, Pete, another mention of relish, your favorite topping. Pete: Well, I don't know about that, but I do love the characters in this. Klaus is one of our favorites. So it's just very kind of interesting to kind of see it in this kind of art style, and I'm just so used to the show. It's almost weird to read the comic, but yeah. This is a really cool story, really fucked up. Spiders scare the fuck out of me. So this is kind of a nightmare, but yeah. This is just great Umbrella Academy fun. Justin: I love relish. I love- Pete: Really? Justin: Yeah. Relish is one of my favs. Pete: Have to have it on a hot dog? Or what's up? Justin: A hundo percent. Pete: Really? Justin: Yeah. I'm a mustard- Pete: Get that shit away from my dog, bro. Justin: Mustard, relish. I'll do sweet. I'll do dill. Pete: Oh, wow. Justin: If you pickle anything, JT's there. If you want me to pop by, pickle something, and this book is fun too. Alex: Yes. It's like the pickles of comic books. Moving on to the The Scumbag #5 from Image Comics, written by Rick Remender, art by Wes Craig. Get the old … Oh, my god … Deadly Class team back together again for this issue, so a switch up of the artist, but we're still following the same old Scumbag as maybe he finally grows a little bit of a heart this issue. This is super fun. I really liked seeing Wes Craig's take on this book in particular. I enjoyed that quite a bit. Yeah. This book is a blast. It's fun to read. Justin: It's very fun. The characters, our main characters … I love watching their relationship between the Scumbag, his handler, and the sex android who drives them around and refuses to have sex with him no matter how many times he asks. It's all very fun stuff in that sort of reverent Remender tone. Pete: Yeah. I think what's nice is I was getting a little tired of Scumbag being a scumbag. So it's nice to see the Scumbag evolve a little bit so we can have somebody to root for in this, but man, Remender, dude. Holy shit. You think you're like “Okay. I know what this is about.” Nah. He loves the twists and turns. He loves to keep you guessing, and then when you're not ready, he'll break your heart if you're not careful, but man, guys, don't listen to magical Christmas trees that smile way too much. All right? Alex: Very fun bit though. Justin: Good advice. Alex: Last but not least, Rain Like Hammers #2 from Image Comics, written and art by Brandon Graham. I'll tell you what. I was very surprised to find out this was an anthology with this issue. That's not what I was expecting. Justin: Well, I feel like a lot of Brandon Graham's stuff are loose anthologies where there's some connection, there's a lot of tonal overlap and everything. I definitely like sort of the rules of the world are the same. Man, I love this book. Of any issue this week, this was the most just transporting book that I read. It's so funny. It's beautifully drawn. It's so interesting. There's just a ton of ideas at play here all the time. Great, great book. Can't recommend this highly enough. Alex: That's it.
