Podcasts about unpossible monsters

We've wanted to have this conversation with Chris Samnee and Laura Samnee from the moment we read the first issue of Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters. Sure, we've had them on before talking about their beautiful comic celebrating sibling relationships, but we only had half the story. Now the comic is complete and contained in a gorgeously crafted new Deluxe Edition hardcover from Oni Press, and we can go full-spoilers, friends. Don't press play unless you're ready for a proper Comic Book Couples Counseling excavation. What is your responsibility to your siblings? Is the bond between you as sacred as we're raised to believe? Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters presents a world as terrifying as it is often hopeful. Trapped atop it are sisters Rainbow and Jonna, diametrically opposed in most aspects but bound together through familial obligation. And love, maybe? The comic represents a decade of Chris and Laura's life. We explore their earliest memories of Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters and how doodles in 2014 grew into their most personal work. It's a love letter to their children and a narrative that might never be topped, even if they have a few other ideas rattling around their imagination. As always, Omnibus, the Digital Comic Store and Reader, sponsors our Referrals segment. This week, we selected two comic book titles that satisfy this episode's themes. We won't spoil what they are here, but if you jump to the Omnibus digital shop, you'll find them readily available there. Stay up to date on all Samnee family projects via their socials. Follow Chris Samnee on his Website, Twitter, and Instagram. Follow Laura Samnee on her Instagram. Purchase the limited slipcase hardcover edition of Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters on the Oni Press website.

Breaking News! Chris Samnee and Laura Samnee join us in the love nest to discuss their new all-ages comic book series, Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters. Yeah, we're just as surprised about their appearance here as you are, but we're mostly beyond excited to have our first creative couples session with those responsible for one of our favorite comics on the stands. Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters is a lovingly warm adventure tale set in a world of titanic beasts. With their dad missing, Rainbow and Jonna scour the land, stumbling into one danger after another. Thankfully, the littlest sister packs quite a punch. In this week's episode, we chat with the Samnees about why this series demanded collaboration. We celebrate how Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters represents a true family project, inspired by their daughters and Chris Samnee's intense fear of birds. Yeah, we get into it. We're honored to have Chris and Laura on Comic Book Couples Counseling, and you should feel honored too. This episode is the very first podcast Laura Samnee has ever recorded. We hope we haven't scared her off the format forever, but we think it's the start of some tremendous podcast potential. Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters Volume 1 is currently available from Oni Press. Volume 2 will appear on comic book shelves on April 6th, and issue #9 will arrive in shops on April 20th. The comic is written by Chris Samnee and Laura Samnee, featuring art by Chris Samnee, colors by Matthew Wilson, and letters by Crank! We do not give away too many spoilers beyond the premise, so venture within safely if you're new to this world. After this conversation, we're confident that you'll be as addicted to Jonna as much as we are, demanding at least a seventy-five issue run. Be sure to continue this conversation with Chris Samnee via his Twitter and Instagram. You can also give Laura's one Instagram photo a Like by clicking HERE.

Faith & Fandom Frequency Fellowship is a series where we highlight some of the favorite episodes of our podcasting friends. We present to you Sis & Big Pop's Culture - Episode 25: The Invincible Fam, “Left,” and Other Joys of Extended Editions Join Sis and Big Pops for a talk about pop culture news fun things happening in movies, tv-shows, and comic books. We discuss Cinema Week, which is coming June 22-27th, R2D2 is getting a fancy new lego set, and Pop's is STOKED for Captain America 4 and Modak. We discuss what we're bingeing right now. Sis is watching Suits, started the second season of Greatest Warriors, and FINALLY watched Godzilla vs. Kong. Pop watched Mortal Kombat, thought it was a great action film, Nintendo Story: Playing with Power, and Life in Color. Pops shares his pull list, for the kiddos he recommends Orcs by KaBOOM and Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters. He didn't get the newest Batman Fortnite book or The Way of X and is a little disappointed. He is enjoying Nightwing the most, he would consider that to be his book of the week, and also has liked grabbing Spiderman, I walk with Monsters, Justice Leauge, Batman the Detective, and The joker Issue 2. We reviewed the extended edition of LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring, which is a sweet, sweet memory for Sis and Big Pops. We also reviewed the first trade paperback of the Image Comic Invincible, which is free to read online for all with Amazon Prime. Listen in for some Family-friendly nerd fun!

Episode 114!? This week we are giving our thoughts on "Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters Vol. 1"! We can't wait to hear what you all think of our opinion! An epic tale of sisters, survival, and some monster-punching. Rainbow has been looking for her younger sister, Jonna, for over a year--since the monsters appeared and their world began to dry up. Going from settlement to settlement, Rainbow asks every survivor she meets: Have you seen my sister? Then, one day, Jonna's spotted out in the wild: filthy, but strong. Strong enough to knock back a towering monster with one punch. All this time, she's been surviving. On her own. Without Rainbow. Without anyone. But there are more dangers in the world than monsters, and when the two sisters reunite, they'll discover the secrets of this new and terrifying world firsthand.

We discuss Cinema Week, which is coming June 22-27th, R2D2 is getting a fancy new lego set, and Pop's is STOKED for Captain America 4 and Modak. We discuss what we're bingeing right now. Sis is watching Suits, started the second season of Greatest Warriors, and FINALLY watched Godzilla vs. Kong. Pop watched Mortal Kombat, thought it was a great action film, Nintendo Story: Playing with Power, and Life in Color. Pops shares his pull list, for the kiddos he recommends Orcs by KaBOOM and Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters. He didn't get the newest Batman Fortnite book or The Way of X and is a little disappointed. He is enjoying Nightwing the most, he would consider that to be his book of the week, and also has liked grabbing Spiderman, I walk with Monsters, Justice Leauge, Batman the Detective, and The joker Issue 2. We reviewed the extended edition of LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring, which is a sweet, sweet memory for Sis and Big Pops. We also reviewed the first trade paperback of the Image Comic Invincible, which is free to read online for all with Amazon Prime. Listen in for some Family-friendly nerd fun!

Alex:                 And on The Stack, we talk about a bunch of books that have come out this week. Tons of books out this week. Lots of number ones to get through. Pete:                Tons. Tons. Alex:                 So let's jump into it talking about Magic. Number one from BOOM! Studios written by Jed MacKay, art illustrated by Ig Guara. This is a bit of a reinvention of the classic universe people probably know from Magic: The Gathering and the card games. It takes a bunch of Planeswalkers, essentially magic folks and otherwise, has them attacked, spoiler over the course of the issue, and they end up having to band together. I got to tell you, I obsessively collected Magic: The Gathering cards as a kid, but I don't think I ever paid attention to the mythology. So I didn't know a lot going into this, but I still, as usual with the Jed MacKay book, enjoyed it quite a bit. What did you think, Pete? Pete:                Yeah, I thought it was cool. It definitely seemed like I was like, “Oh, there's a lot more going on than I know about.” But I wasn't sure. But, man, loved the Medusa character for sure. Alex:                 Well, the thing that I really liked about this, and again, this is a spoiler for the issue, but it sets it up as this very typical fantasy world and then wrecks everything about halfway through the issue. And I thought that was- Pete:                That was really hard. Alex:                 Yeah. I thought that was a really bold, fun move. It's basically saying, “Oh, this fantasy world that maybe you know from card games, from books, I assume, and otherwise, don't worry about that. We're going into our own story. We're doing our own thing.” So just kind of just follow it from there. Pete:                Why did you say, “I assume.” Are you worried that people do magic for real. I'm thinking are you talking about them? Alex:                 No. I assume there are magic novels, but I don't know. Pete:                Oh, okay. I see what you're saying. Okay. Okay. Alex:                 Yeah. I just don't know enough about this world, but [crosstalk 00:02:02] Pete:                I thought you were throwing shade to magicians for a second. Alex:                 Oh my God. I never would. They would come after me. Green Lantern, number one from DC Comics written by Geoffrey Thorne, art by Dexter Soy and Marco Santucci. In this, we are getting the Oa's on the Green Lanterns, dealing with the new status quo of the universe. There is a new United Planets, as we've seen over the Superman books and otherwise, and that is affecting things here where they're trying to decide, “Hey. If we're the United Planets, if we have our own police force, what do we need the Green Lanterns for?” Of course, things go a little wrong over the course of this issue. Pete, now you're not the biggest fan of Green Lantern other than a book we're going to talk about it a little later at The Stack. But what did you think of this one? Pete:                Well, first off, I want to just say a couple of nice things about the book. Really love the start, very crazy heavy action, kind of love this kind of who done it. And then, a spoiler, fun killing one of the floating large shirt tail peep know-it-alls. I've always wanted to do that. So I'm glad it finally happened in this book. Alex:                 Can I just interrupt? It's weird to me that you don't like the guardians given you love short people and they are very short. Pete:                Yes I do. I love short people very much. Know-it-alls, I have a problem with. Also, the whole flowing large shirt thing bothers me. And I also hate how they look like you with the giant heads and always talking about how smart they are. Alex:                 What the fuck. How dare you? Also, thank you. I would love to look like [inaudible 00:03:46] Pete:                I'm sure you would. Also, you would look amazing in a flowing gown. I mean, how are you going to have a Green Lantern number one and not have Far Sector in your shit? It's the best Green Lantern of all time and you're going to have a Green Lantern number one and- Alex:                 Here's the thing, she is in, and this is a little bit of a spoiler from the title, a Far Sector. So there's no reason for her to come back to the main planet for this. I will say I kept going back and forth in this issue where I thought based on the cover, “Okay. This is going to focus on the new teen Lantern character and what's going on with her.” It doesn't completely. She plays into it, but there's so much going on here that there were things that I felt like, “All right. I don't quite get this or why this is here or what's going on.” But by the end, so much was set up that I felt like, “Okay. We have a solid. This is just throwing everything at the wall. Let's see what sticks going into the second issue.” Pete:                All right. Alex:                 Next up. Let's talk about one of my favorite issues of the week, which I know Pete probably didn't like, as well. We're starting off so well here, the Silver Coin number one from Image Comics, written by Chip Zdarsky, art by Michael Walsh. It's creepy, but it's supposed to be creepy. I love this book. This is a new horror anthology from a bunch of folks like Chip Zdarsky and, I think, well, I should probably look up who else is on it. But there's a bunch of folks that are contributing and they're each, I think, going to write a different issue as it follows this evil cursed silver coin through different situations. Alex:                 Here, we get a rock and roll tale that ends in a very Tales from the Crypt style way. Love the art by Michael Walsh. Like you said, creepy and terrifying in exactly the right way and viewers just dread into it. Chip Zdarsky writes a good rock and roll tale. I enjoyed this quite a bit. I didn't know what to expect going in, but I like this. I was always a sucker back in the day for Tales from the Crypt and shows like that, and this channels those very well. Pete:                I agree. I definitely agree. It does have a fun Tales from the Crypt feel. It's also going to be cool to see how this moves forward, but this first story is just kind of the classic band selling their soul to the devil to kind of make it big. But it's got a very kind of interesting, it's not that in all the right ways. And, I think, it's the way they kind of leave it with the coin is very cool to see how this is going to keep moving forward. So as creeped out as I was and how much I knew Zalben enjoyed it, I still enjoyed this. And, I think, not only did I enjoy it, but I'm looking forward to see how the next one goes. Alex:                 They call them comics, but they're not very funny. Pete:                I don't know what you're doing, but please, stop. Alex:                 That was my Crypt Keeper. He was always doing like [crosstalk 00:06:48] Pete:                Yeah. Yeah. That was pretty good. My bad. My bad. Alex:                 Thank you. Let's talk about something I do think you liked because this is one of your favorite series out there. Beasts of Burden: Occupied Territory number one from Dark Horse Comics, written by Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer, art by Benjamin Dewey. If you haven't followed the series, this is about a bunch of dogs and other animals that investigate supernatural mysteries. Here, we're getting a tale from back in the day of a sheep dog back in World War II, I believe, who is looking into a simile supernatural mystery there. Man, I love this series. It's so adorable and terrifying at the same time, the perfect mix. Pete:                Okay. So a couple of things I want to ask. So here's the hard part for me about Beasts of Burden, okay? Beast of Burden, love the story, love the idea but, originally, Jill Thompson on the art, who does these amazing water colors and you get that in kind of the fold Beast of Burdens created by Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson. So then, I feel weird about supporting this book. Okay. It's the same writer. It's the same title. I should be supporting this book, but it's not this amazing watercolor artist. I love Sarah's art. I think this is very cool, different take. Alex:                 Benjamin Dewey did the art. Pete:                Oh, I thought it said Sarah Dyer. Alex:                 I think Sarah Dyer wrote it with Evan Dorkin. Pete:                Oh, my bad. My apologies. Alex:                 That's all right. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. Pete:                Regardless, art is clean. It's a different take on it, all of the same characters we love. The story is great. But I kind of have this thing of like, “Should it be okay that I'm still reading this book? Or is it betraying Jill and her amazing work?” Talk me through this, Zalben. How should we do this? Alex:                 I mean, I sort of had the same thought process as you because Jill Thompson's art is so gorgeous and so necessary to this book that I was thrown initially, when I saw Benjamin Dewey's art. I do think Benjamin Dewey's art is real good, as well. Pete:                Oh, yeah. Alex:                 It's super fun for a flashback tale. Yeah. I don't know anything that might be on behind the scenes. It's entirely possible given artistic schedules, maybe Jill Thompson is working ahead on something else that takes place in the present. And, excuse me, Benjamin Dewey is doing this thing because it takes place in the past. I don't think Evan Dorkin was like, “Screw you, Jill Thompson. I'm doing my own comic at my own time.” or anything like that. So I don't think it's anything you need to feel bad about necessarily. But Jill Thompson is great, so it's okay to miss her art at the same time. This is super fun. Alex:                 You don't need to know anything about Beasts of Burden to jump into this. All you need to know is talking animals, supernatural mysteries. There's a terrifying last page here that maybe out loud I'd go. So it's good stuff. Next up, King in Black number five from Marvel, written by Donny Cates, art by Ryan Stegman. I thought this was worth talking about in a block with Venom number 34 from Marvel, also written by Donny Cates, art by Iban Coello because they're both ends of the era leading directly into the next status quo for Venom and I believe Donny Cates leaving the title after this. King in Black wraps up. They made King in Black saga. Venom number 34 interweaves with it a little bit and sets up, spoiler, a new status quo for Flash Thompson. Pete, go ahead. Pete:                What was the order reading this? Because I read King in Black first and then I was like, “Oh, I think I should have read Venom first.” I just want to [crosstalk 00:10:29] Alex:                 We are simpatico here. I had the same thought process where I got to about page five of King in Black and thought, “Wait, did I miss something? What's going on here?” Pete:                Yeah. Yeah. Alex:                 So I think Venom number 34 happens concurrently with King in Black. So you kind of can read them in any order, but probably you should read Venom number 34 first, then King in Black number five. Pete:                Yeah. Because I did the opposite and I was like, “I shouldn't have done that.” Because reading Venom, it's kind of like, “Oh, I know what's going to happen.” So read King in Black number five first, then read Venom. Okay. But let's kind of go in that order, King in Black. First off, Donny Cates did this epic giant tail and I feel like was really impressive. All the stuff with the son was great. This was a giant kind of epic event, but also had a lot of small, amazing moments, a lot of great Flash Thompson moments, a lot of, “Holy shit, look at the size of that sword. I've never seen Silver Surfer with a giant sword before. This is fucking cool.” It just got even better. I really love this book. I really loved how it ended. It ended so well I wanted to go back and reread the whole thing again. Man, this was really a lot of fun and I was surprised at how much it covered and how much happened in it. Alex:                 I did appreciate that the ending here brought it back around to Eddie Brock and Venom. I thought that was a really good sense of focus under the event both in King in Black number five and Venom number 34. I think he gave a nice crest to the story he wants to tell, though there's probably at least one more issue going on there before he really wrapped things up. Yeah. I also appreciate the fact I really identified with people throughout this event being like, “Ugh, is this a Venom thing? I hate symbions. This sucks.” Because that's my general feeling going into it but, like you said, Donnie Cates and company made it feel very cool and big and fun throughout the event. So good times. Pete:                Yeah. Also, it's a great book to pick up if you're like… I love comics where someone's mostly free falling and just kind of thinking about things and then there's flashbacks and stuff because they really [crosstalk 00:12:51] Alex:                 Are you a big Tom Petty fan? Then check out King in Black number five and Venom number 34. Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters number two from Oni Press by Chris and Laura Samnee. This is a almost mostly silent series at this point. It's all ages as well about a girl looking for her sister who has gotten lost in the wild with the unpossible monsters in the title. Beautiful, beautiful book. I want more of it every time is my only thing. I kind of want to wait until there's a trade. And then maybe hand it to my kids and say, “Hey, check this out.” But gorgeous. Pete:                Yeah. I mean you and your kids this, and you're a cool dad. You're winning. This is a really amazing book. Art is, I mean, I say it all the time, but it's worth it alone. It's just so fantastic. Love the role building. Love the pace of this. Storytelling is unbelievable. Touching, badass, all the right things. Yeah. I can't get enough. Yeah. It does read quick and I'm sure I'll read it a lot better than the trade, but man, single issues have been a lot of fun. Alex:                 Let's move on then to talk about the Swamp Thing number two from DC Comics, written by Ram V, art by Mike Perkins. We have a new Swamp Thing here who is investigating some weird doings out in the desert. We had the setup, but not exactly the explanation in the first issue. Here, the new Swamp Thing is exploring his powers and abilities a little bit more and tangling with somebody new and very, very bad. This book is gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. Mike Perkins' art is incredible. And Ram V is really leaning into that. This, to me, feels like, I feel like you're going to yell at me here, Pete, but this feels like on par with the first couple of issues of Batwoman by J.H. Williams III. It's just breaking the layouts, playing with it, playing with the format feels really engaging and dark in a very similar way. Pete:                Yeah. That's hell of a praise. That's really fantastic praise. Okay. I agree. It's absolutely gorgeous. This is a lot of fun. Swamp Thing can be hit or miss for me. I enjoyed this issue a lot. I didn't enjoy all the human stuff as much, but I really thought this was cool. And also, we got to talk about this. You guys don't go to central park in the middle of the night because there's full grown dudes being born out of trees and I'm glad Swamp Thing is finally talking about it. It's fucked up and someone needs to look into this because it's not right, man. It's just really messed up. Alex:                 I'll tell you what, I've been to The Ramble at night and I don't think that's what dudes are doing in trees. Pete:                Well, that's what's happening in this comic book. Alex:                 Great book. Seven Secrets number seven from BOOM! Studios, written by Tom Taylor, art by Daniele Di Nicuolo. Pete:                I mean, Seven Secrets number seven. I mean, that's you. Alex:                 We still don't know what the secrets are, but in this issue, our main character has wandered off the road into the land of fairy [crosstalk 00:16:08] Pete:                We don't know all the secrets. We know a couple. Alex:                 We don't know anything. The secrets are still secret in this book. We know they're important, but we don't know what they are or anything about them, which is kind of wild. But we do know more about the main character, about where he comes from, another really good issue of this very fun title. I'm enjoying it. How about you, Pete? Pete:                Yes. Absolutely. Art's amazing. Paneling is fantastic. And if you're going to do a glowing horse with a fish tail, this is just the peak that which all should be measured. This is very creative. Very cool. Interesting paneling, amazing storytelling. Yeah. This is just really kind of creepy and tripped out in all the right ways. It's one of those things where you got to be like, “All right. I'm definitely going to find out the secret in this issue.” But they do such a good job of keeping you busy in all the right ways. I'm impressed by this book. Alex:                 By the way, the thing you mentioned, the horse with the tail of a fish, like they say in the book, it's called a sulky, which is where the expression taking a sulky comes from. Pete:                Oh my God. You're such a dad joke. It's ridiculous. Alex:                 The Immortal Hulk number 45 from Marvel, written by Al Ewing, art by Joe Bennett. In this issue, the Hulk is once again, dead, killed by the U-Foes, trapped in the land below grid, I always forget what the name is. But it's Joe Fixit and the dumb, very flabby, kid Hawk being trapped by the leader while back on earth, things are going wild. I'll tell you what, not only do I love this book, like we talk about every issue. Not only are all the designs absolutely terrifying and the amount that Al Ewing and Joe Bennett are building into the mythology, rather fascinating. But I don't think any other book, since a Brian K. Vaughan book like Saga, consistently on the last page out loud makes me go, “Oh, here we go.” Every single time out of the gate. Pete:                Yeah. I mean, I wish I could, after reading this book and all the crazy thing, is I wish I could have been on this pitch meeting for Marvel. Can you imagine how you'll be going, “All right, listen. I'm going to take Hawk and I'm going to twist them and I'm going to turn them. And it's going to be so gross and so fucked up, it's probably going to turn a lot of people away. But if people check this out.” I mean, this keeps getting weirder and more fucked up, yet I'm having such a great time. I don't know. I don't know how to describe this to somebody. I don't know what's going on. I love the last page. I can not wait to see what's happening. I don't know. I'm so confused. I'm so grossed out. I love this book. I love the way it starts with the quote every time. And then it gets all sorts of fucked up. This is some groundbreaking, really cool shit right here. Alex:                 This is one of the most epic Hulk rods of all time. And it's so exciting to be able to be reading that right now. I love it. Next up, let's talk about one that I know you really liked a lot, Dead Dog's Bite number two from Dark Horse Comics by Tyler Boss. Now this is one we missed talking about the first issue of this, which I really regret because Tyler Boss, great artist. We know him from 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank, which he did with Matthew Rosenberg and other things. Pete:                The Burgee. Alex:                 This is about a woman who is investigating a disappearance. It's weird. It's funny. The panel layouts are great. I loved it. Love this issue. Pete:                It's really impressive. This is very, very creative in all the right ways. The Boss is killing it here. I mean, it kind of takes a little bit of like gives me that Hawkeye feel with a little bit of, God, what was it, King's Vision with the different panelings and stuff here. But it's got this great Indie kind of creative field, but just the paneling and the logos and the different stuff that they're doing. I mean, I'm enthralled watching someone put money in a machine to try to get soda out. How can you do that? How is that enthralling? Yeah. I'm just really, really impressed with how creative and fantastic this book is. The scene where she goes and sits down with their mom at the fucking lunch table. Oh my God. This is crazy. I cannot wait to see how this kind of unfolds or gets explained. This is fantastic. I'm completely on board. Alex:                 Me, too. I want to go back and read the first issue at this point. I feel bad about missing it. This is great. Next up, Batman number 107 from DC Comics, written by James Tynion IV, art by Jorge Jimenez and Ricardo Lopez Ortiz. In this issue, we're continuing to find out about how Batman is dealing with the new status quo of Gotham City. Scarecrow is on the move. Other forces are, as well. And the backup story is about Ghost-Maker. What'd you think, Pete? Pete:                All right. I've never seen Scarecrow so badass portrayed in a Batman book in a while. This is very interesting and cool. Tynion's doing unbelievable stuff. The art's fantastic. The Harley Quinn stuff has been so enjoyable. I think just kind of sprinkled throughout this Batman run and I think in a great way, and then we kind of get this new lady in red with green plant dogs who loves roses, so very intriguing. Tynion has done introducing a lot of different new characters with Ghost-Maker and now this lady in red. This is interesting to see what's going to be happening here for Batman. Yeah. I've been enjoying it. Alex:                 I'm going to throw a theory out at you. So there's a character named Simon Saint, who we know is tied to the magistrate program that we saw in the future state books that essentially takes over Gotham and turns it into a police state, potentially in the future. Is Simon Saint Scarecrow? Because there's a scene in the book where- Pete:                Don't you fucking spoil this for me, you son of a bitch. Alex:                 No. I have no idea. But there's a scene in the book where Simon Saint is looking outside and Scarecrow almost seems to be talking into his mind standing on a gargoyle. We've previously seen Scarecrow in his office sitting there in the darkness and it almost seems like maybe there's a split personality thing going on there. Pete:                Oh, interesting. Alex:                 Just a thought. Whatever it is, love this book. I'm glad James Tynion has the, whatever you call it, handcuffs off or something like that and is able to just go wild in this book. It's great. Next up, The Last Witch number four from Boom! Box, written by Conor McCreery, art illustrated by V.V. Glass. As a little bit of a note, we're going to have Conor McCreery on our live show in a couple of weeks, so definitely check that out. I know you and Justin are going- Pete:                For real? Alex:                 For real. I love giving you news on our podcast. Pete:                Oh, man, that's great. Dude, this book has been fantastic. I cannot wait to talk about this. Alex:                 Yes. We'll talk about this one, then. We have our young witch is continuing to learn magic as she goes on a hunt for other witches. Here, we meet a refugee from Ferry who seems to be working with her. Maybe he's not, necessarily. What'd you think about this issue? Pete:                Yeah. Really great set up. I mean, first off, the girl's grandmother's just fantastic. What a badass. Alex:                 You love a grandma. Pete:                There's nothing better than a badass grandma, all right? I don't know what it is, but it's glorious. Yeah. So just interesting. Alex:                 That's the thing that you love about grandmas, Pete. They keep getting older and so do you. Pete:                Okay. Great. Stop being creepy. Yeah. Yeah. It seemed like a interesting kind of dude tagging along on this. Amazing kind of last page reveal on that. Yeah. Love the art. It makes it seem like it's this kind of all ages, innocent thing, but there's really a lot going on underneath the surface. So I'm very intrigued by this. Love all the main characters. It does such a great job of giving you story, giving you fun, giving you action. Yeah. I can't wait to see how this all unfolds. Alex:                 I like the V.V. Glass art in particular on this book. It really feels like sort of a, Don Bluth isn't exactly right, but it's very classic animation style where you could almost feel like it's moving between the panels. It's very nice. Next up, America Chavez: Made in the USA number two from Marvel, written by Kalinda Vazquez, art by Carlos Gomez. In this, we're continuing to find more about the origin of America Chavez and it is not what we thought it was. We're definitely in retcon territory here, folks, where we find out there's a family after she left the Utopian Parallel that adopted her and kept her for a while. We get to see how she started to develop her characters and there's the hint that everything she knew was wrong. I'm really enjoying the series quite a bit. And I say this as somebody who likes the concept of America Chavez a little better than the solo series I've seen. I've always liked her in a team book, but haven't quite understood the character out of here. This is so far and we're in the early going, maybe my favorite American Chavez story so far. Pete:                Oh, cool. Yeah. I agree. This is really great. I feel like the art's fantastic. We're getting just enough backstory where it doesn't feel like too much. It's done so well with the kind of back and forth. I also really liked her with Spider-Man. That was great. Yeah. It's very interesting how we're kind of slowly getting her backstory, I would say a lot more in this issue, which is good. I'm very interested to see how this goes. I like how she's moving about the world solving kind of things, trying to figure stuff out. Sometimes when that's done, it can seem forced but it feels really natural here. Yeah. I mean, going into old-timey arcade place at night, that's just not a smart idea. Nothing's good is going to happen there. Alex:                 Next up, Fear Case number three from Dark Horse Comics, written by Matt Kindt, art by Tyler Jenkins. Pete, you read this book and we missed it, right? What'd you think about this one? Pete:                Yeah. I thought this was creepy in all the right ways. Very interestingly drawn. I love the kind of pencil kind of take on it. A lot of really powerful panels. And I just kind of finding things out with the characters here. Really love the last page, oh, shit kind of reveal. I think this is very interesting to see how each one of these fear cases kind of unfold. I think it's really well done. The art's fantastic. Alex:                 Next up, Suicide Squad number two from DC Comics, written by Robbie Thompson, art by Eduardo Pansica. This is continuing the assault on Arkham storyline, which finds the Suicide Squad trying to liberate Talon from Arkham Asylum just as seemingly Scarecrow is, not Scarecrow, excuse me, joker's fear toxin is being released throughout it as we've seen in a couple of other comic books. As usual with Suicide Squad, a bunch of people die. It's very dark. There's complicated and morality here. I think this is a really good classic Suicide Squad story with some very nice superhero art by Eduardo Pansica. What do you think, Pete? Pete:                Yeah. I agree. I think this is really cool. Also, I'm glad that in Suicide Squad, the comic, we're getting more Peacemaker here getting us ready for the movie. Really an over the top kind of person. So I think having what's his face playing it is going to be very- Alex:                 John Cena. Pete:                Yeah. Alex:                 Can you smell what John Cena is cooking? Pete:                No. No. No. You can't see me, okay? But I also really love the pulp fiction heart attack moment. I thought that was fun. Alex:                 Good stuff. Next up, I don't know anything about wrestling. Nocterra number two from Image Comics, written by Scott Snyder, art by Tony S. Daniel. Pete:                Just for the audio podcast, I was waving my hand in front of my face like John Cena does. Alex:                 Okay. All right. Why does he do that? Pete:                Because you can't see him. You can't see. Alex:                 Is that where the Drax [inaudible 00:29:26] came from? No, that's Dave Bautista. Nevermind. Pete:                Yeah. Alex:                 They're different people? Pete:                Yeah. Alex:                 Okay. Pete:                See how it works is they're different people. Alex:                 Okay. I don't see people. Pete:                Wow. Alex:                 I just don't see people. I don't see things. Okay. Nocterra number two written by Scott Snyder, who we had on the live show. He talked quite a bit about this as well, as many spoilers for Nocterra number three, which was very cool and very fun. So check out that live podcast if you hadn't. In this book, we're continuing our journey through a world where it's always night and it's filled with horrific creatures. Tony S. Daniel's art is stunning here as usual. Just great action scenes. They're fighting a terrifying villain named Blacktop Bill. This is great. This is like duel on sci-fi steroids is what I'd compare it to. You love this issue too, right? Pete:                Oh my God. Yeah. And I love Blacktop Bill. Yeah. And also, really amazing art, bold choices. We talked about that Batman issue with him but two solid pages of all black, bold, bold choice. I was like, “Wait, did this not download right? What's going on here?” Yeah. I think this is really getting crazier and crazier. Yeah. This is just really over the top fun. Yeah. It kind of reminds me of having metal in all the right ways where it's like, “Oh yeah, this is just gonna be completely non-stop trucker fucking.” Yeah. This is fun. Alex:                 Well, I also like the fact that it's not delaying or an issue too. We already know a ton of information and things about the world. Pete:                But it's so much to know. That's the fun part. Alex:                 Well, exactly. But it's the sort of story where it feels like, “Oh, okay. These are things that you kind of drag out and get to an issue 12.” But nope. We're getting them in issue two. And that's awesome. Next up. Let's chat about Geiger number one from Image Comics, written by Geoff Johns, art by Gary Frank. Now, before we get into it, I do want to mention, this was initially at the top of our stack. We moved it down here because if you haven't read it, there was a big interview with Ray Fisher from Justice League talking about his treatment from Geoff Johns. There were a lot of quotes in there. There were a lot of back and forth. We don't know anything necessarily about it. Certainly, we want to listen to every single viewpoint and understand what went on. Alex:                 As the story continues, we will continue to discuss it and find out more about it. But as is, I felt like it was still potentially worth talking about a Image Comic book from Geoff Johns and Gary Frank that's coming out. So we'll see. Maybe we'll scrub this from the podcast later, if more things come out. But as is, let's talk about the comic as the comic and as it is. So that all said, this is a new issue from this team who's worked on Doomsday Clock as well as a lot of other things. Here, we're getting an original property set in a post-apocalyptic world where one man has been seemingly affected by the radiation and gained radiation powers. The world, specifically, Las Vegas here has been split into different ruling factions as the outside of the world is not safe. What'd you think about this book, Pete? Pete:                Yeah. I don't know about all that shit. This is kind of news to me. Alex:                 Again, I love giving you news right on the podcast. Pete:                Yeah. So, hopefully, we're not enjoying something that's whatever. I don't know what to say, but just looking at this comic as a comic and hopefully… All right. My point is that this is very cool idea. I've very much enjoyed the action. I thought the glowing man was really badass. I'm very interested to see how this kind of all enfolds. This two-headed dog is my favorite. This is really very, very cool. You got the broady kind of villain. So if everything's okay, I'll be interested to see how this all unfolds. Alex:                 Yeah. Sorry I threw you there, Pete. I can see you're really struggling with it and that is totally fair. I think the thing that I would say about this is Gary Frank's art is meticulous as always as well as of layouts. I do think a lot of the problems that we had with Doomsday Clock, which got very in its head about the whole Watchmen of it all. There's a lot of themes and ideas and images that I think do get hit on and in a certain way, and not a necessarily bad way recycled here, but it feels much more wide open. It feels a little looser, both in terms of the storytelling and the plotting. And it'll be interesting to see, potentially, if everything gets clear, what this team does away from DC Comics. This is something that we talked with Scott a bit about as he is on his Rumspringa from DC Comics right now, about how you don't have the corporate responsibility. You don't have the things that you need to write because you're serving a greater master here. Alex:                 So again, we'll see what happens. If anybody has any feedback or questions about any of this, we, of course, are happy to chat either at comicbookclublive@gmail.com at Comic Book Live on Twitter or in our page here on Slack. We'd love to get your feedback on whether we should be covering this comic or not. But again, we like to cover number ones. We like to talk about this. This is a big superstar team, so it was worth throwing in there. Maybe not as the first comic book in The Stack. Next up, let's move to happier climbs with Far Sector number 11 from DC Comics, written by N.K. Jemisin, art by Jamal Campbell. Another fantastic issue of this book that just gets bigger and bigger every issue out of the gate. Pete, this is the Green Lantern you like. Go ahead. Pete:                I mean, it sets the bar higher and higher with each issue and then continues to meet that bar and go above it. I mean, it's just fantastic. 20% ring to save 20 billion. I mean, come on. This is exciting stuff. Everything has been unfolding in such a cool way. The art alone is worth the pickup. It is gorgeous in all the right ways. Characters designs are new and fresh, breaking this mold of stereotypical people and what they should look like. I love every single minute of it. Alex:                 Well, I say this every issue, but I don't think you can undervalue the fact that Jamal Campbell has drawn every issue of Far Sector, as well as N.K. Jemisin writing it, and they make a great team together. I know it's not always possible with the monthly schedule of comic books, but I love that they have been able to continue together and kept this world consistent and build on it and make it look weirder and more interesting every issue out of the gate. It's great. This book is great. And I'm really curious to see if it ends with issue 12. Is it going to continue? What's going to happen? Because it's such a fun interesting premise that they've set up here. One little side note- Pete:                Am I to go and take over Green Lantern? We don't need Green Lantern. We got Far Sector. Alex:                 There you go. One little side note I'll mention, I checked out, because I love this book so much, I read N.K. Jemisin's The City We Became which is a novel. It's awesome. I know everybody probably already noticed this, but just in case you haven't checked it out yet, it is, I don't even kind of want to spoil it, but it's about people who become living cities and it's not the same themes. But you can kind of get a sense of similar things that she's trying out here in Far Sector. Particularly as a new Yorker, I love it because it's based in New York. It's so of New York. Such an awesome book. Alex:                 Again, I'm sure a lot of people have read it who are listening to this, but if you've only checked out our comics, definitely read that, as well. It's well worth it. Next up, Crime Syndicate number two from DC Comics, written by Andy Schmidt, art by Keiran McKeown and Bryan Hitch. I think we were a little split on the first issue of this because it takes a more satirical look at the Crime Syndicate, at the evil Justice League. Here, we get them fighting Starro and we also get a backstory for Owlman. What'd you think about this one, Pete? Pete:                It's interesting. It's cool. I mean, the Flash, shirtless Flash, with the crazy chain pants was hysterical. So fun. Alex:                 I like this a little better. I felt the humor was a little strained in the first issue, but it hits more of its rhythm in this one. I like the backup story here. Bryan Hitch's art is always pretty good. So I was ready to jump ship after this issue, but I think I'm more than willing to check out a third issue after this one. Pete:                Cool. Alex:                 Next up, Bliss number six from Image Comics, written by Sean Lewis, art by Caitlin Yarsky. We are, I think, getting towards the end game here as we finally find out a big secret from the past of the father and son who were trying to find each other in this world where gods run a muck. There's some great bits here with one god that the son is palling around with, this turtle god who hangs his mouth open the entire time. There's some very dark and emotional stuff that happens as well. What did you think, Pete? Pete:                Yeah. This is just really unbelievable. Fantastic storytelling. This has been a real roller coaster of rooting for them or not rooting for them. It seems like really evil, but then the other side to him. We've got the AOC on the cover with the old balance of power there, the scales. Yeah. I really think this is a very interesting, cool world and it's really done very well. The art and the characters are weird in all the right ways. Yeah. We find out a lot about the family in this. This is great. This really continues to be a book that you're like, “What is this going to be?” every time you pick it up and it doesn't disappoint. Alex:                 Totally agree. And that's it from The Stack. If you'd like to support us patrion.com/comicbookclub. Also, we do a live show every Tuesday night at 7:00 PM to Crowdcast and YouTube. Come hang out.

Pete:                I'm Pete. Alex:                 And on the stack, we talk about a bunch of books that come out this week, and we're going to kick it off with a big one. Infinite Frontier, number zero- Pete:                Oh, man. Alex:                 … from DC Comics. Nice, simple lineup of names here. So let's go through it. Written by Joshua Williamson, James Tynion IV, Scott Snyder, Brian Michael Bendis, Becky Cloonan, Michael W. Conrad, Joelle Jones, Tim Sheridan, Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Jeff Johnson, Geoffrey Thorne. Art by David Marquez, Jorge Jimenez, Alitha Martinez, Mark Morales, Joelle Jones, Stephen Bird and Rafa Sandovall, Jody… Oh, there we go. Jordi Tarragona, Jamal Igle, Alex Maleev, Todd Nauck, Dexter Soy, Howard Porter, John Romita Sr. and Klaus Janson. Alex:                 Now this is your requisite, post-event check in with the entire DC Universe. What's going on? What's happening with everybody? What's everybody's new status quo now that the continuity has changed. So we kind of know how this one goes, but the framing here is that Wonder Woman has maybe ascended to be a higher being, she's trying to decide about that. Alex:                 And so she's taken a look in on the new state and the multi-verse post Dark Nights: Death Metal. How'd you feel about this book? How'd you feel about the status quo? What jumped out at you? Pete:                For me, I thought the Bat cycle was sick. Cool green Lanterns thing. And love the last page, but what is happening now with DC? Alex:                 Wait, what do you mean Pete? Pete:                Well, like we were really enjoying these DC kind of what if books, and now it's just all over and- Alex:                 Well so- Pete:                … and it all- Alex:                 … Phillip Kennedy Johnson, when he was on the show, talked about this a little bit. He said that the Future State things are, and they talk about this in this book a bit as well, but not as explicitly, that they're a possible future or a possible futures. These are places the continuity may be going or may not, but they're not ignoring them. Alex:                 And you can see that a little bit in the Batman story that teases the magistrate storyline. That plays later in The Stack Podcast where we're going to be talking about Batman 106, where that plays in a big way. But that's what we're getting here is these new status quos, these new setups, they might head towards these disasters that we've seen in Future State, but also maybe not. We'll have to see what happens. Justin:              … And I really like that. I liked the confidence with which DC moved forward through Future State and into this where it's like, “Okay, all that stuff happened, you read it, and then we're not going to dance around it. We're just going to jump into the books and we're going to start to pepper those things in, those things that we like, those things that-“ Pete:                Maybe though? Justin:              … I appreciate that though. It really- Pete:                Why do you appreciate that? Because they're saying, “We may do something that you really enjoyed, we may not. Go fuck yourself.” Justin:              … I love that. I like- Pete:                Really? Justin:              … I enjoyed what we saw, and then if they- Pete:                I very much enjoyed it, but I would like to know if I'm going to get some of it or not. Justin:              Well, then you continue being a fan, I think is the real… Like, if you keep talking about the things that you loved, I think they will do those things. And the things that people didn't like, they won't do those things. And we [crosstalk 00:03:21]. Alex:                 You heard it here first, true believer. You're going to have to check in every week to find out whether the adventures of your favorite superheroes are going to turn out good, bad, or something in between. Excelsior. Justin:              I can't. Pete:                Mr. Magoo? I can't hear anything you're saying. Alex:                 Just imagine. Me, Mr. Magoo. Imagine this in the DC Universe, Future State. Pete:                All I see is The Lost DVD thing. And I don't hear anything you're saying, because I'm just focused on The Lost DVD question that popped up. Alex:                 Here's the big twist, Pete, that Lost DVD thing behind me has been here the whole time. Justin:              Wow, I don't know if that's- Pete:                Well, that's not true. Justin:              … a direct quote from Lost- Pete:                That's not true. Justin:              … but even if it's not, I don't want to hear it. I like the Batman stuff I think is really fun here. It's interesting that Grifter is now just fully part of the Bat Universe. The Bat Universe feels fairly large right now. Alex:                 Yes. Justin:              And- Alex:                 Well, and you get to see more of that in Batman 106 as well. It's a big cast, but I agree with you. I like how James Tynion is playing with it. I like the potential threat of The Magistrate. I love the reveal at the end here of what Scarecrow looks like right now. That's pretty terrifying. What's up Pete? Pete:                So you guys are just okay with the fact that we just got two months of amazing stories and now like, “Eh, done.” “Maybe we're going to do something-“ Alex:                 They told us. That's exactly what was happening going in. Pete:                … You can tell us that. But then when you fall in love with it, as you're reading it and buying these, and then have it maybe show up or maybe be taken away, it's just- Alex:                 This is the same thing that happened to you with Titania when you went to Europe, Pete. It was supposed to be two months. And then you were like, “Okay, let's head home, baby.” And she's like, “No, I live here. I cannot come with you, Pete.” Pete:                Did you say Titanita? Alex:                 Titania. Pete:                Oh. Alex:                 Come on. You know the name of your ex-girlfriend, Titania, who you met in Belgium. Pete:                Yeah, sure. Justin:              Titania. Famous. Famously, a real person's name. Read a little Midsummer Night's Dream over there? Alex:                 Titania. Pete:                No, I don't know? Alex:                 Oh, man. Justin:              I'm curious what Green Lantern's going to do. They introduced the Teen Lantern here, which, okay, a little up in the air there. Flash really puts a flag in like, “We're fully back to Wally West as the main Flash,” which Alex, you must love. Alex:                 Great. Feeling a little conflicted after the past couple of years of storyline there. But I will say one thing that I was very happy about was Geoff Johns and Todd Nauck, back on Stargirl. They've been going all in on that since the series came back. They're going to another story I think, coming up, another comic. That's great. It's just fun. They capture the tone perfectly. I'm really enjoying it. And I really like what they do here. Setting up Pat as connected to The Seven Soldiers of Victory, which is something from the TV show, where they're doing the very smart thing of creating stories that work in the DC continuity, also work for fans of the TV show. I think that's very, a nice thing to do. Justin:              How hyped were you when Darkseid's knee-high boot slammed on The Spectre's head? Pete:                Ah, spoiler dude. Jesus. Alex:                 Let's talk about the end of the book. Always. Great to see John Romita Sr. and Klaus Janson's art on stuff. Pete:                Yes. Alex:                 That's awesome. Justin:              Agreed. Alex:                 Who cares about Darkseid? To be totally- Pete:                What are you talking about? Alex:                 … blunt about it? There's been so many Darkseid stories. I appreciate the idea that like- Pete:                There's a ton of Joker stories. Alex:                 … “We're bringing it back to basics. It's Darkseid versus the whole DC Universe. None of this crazy perpetuous stuff. We're just going to clean it up. It's just going to be a slam bang slab fest. Let's have a little bit of a fun time here guys.” That's great. But at the same time, I've read so many stories of Darkseid versus the DC Universe. If he had been away for a while, that would be a different thing. But we've had so much Darkseid in different iterations. He's been on a justice league team. His daughter has been hanging around. If it was a character that was gone for a while, I feel like the impact would have been much greater. But as is, I was like, “All right, this is very nice art, happy to read this. I'm sure this will be fun.” But this is not the cliff hanger I think it was meant to be. Pete:                Oh, I completely disagree. I was so happy to see Darkseid at the end of it, because I was just… First off, it's a zero issue. So fuck you for putting all that shit in a zero issue. Fuck you. That is not a Zero Issue. There is so much important that happens in that issue. It's unbelievable. Justin:              Oh, I thought you were going to drop a beat, drop a little rhyme there. Pete:                [crosstalk 00:07:50] It was a spam phone call. Alex:                 We put it in a zero issue. Don't blow it in a tissue. Pete:                Please don't be the white guy, beat-boxing and trying to rhyme. That's just awful. Alex:                 I mean I think- Pete:                Stop it. Alex:                 I think that was- Pete:                Stop. Alex:                 … I think that was really good. Pete:                No. I… In all this madness, to see Darkseid, I was like, “Yes. Okay. Now we can get to a storyline. I understand what's happening here. I don't know why there's all this other madness going on, but I can understand this.” So I felt really good about that ending and it got me excited to read the first issue. What the fuck? Justin:              Does Darkseid always look like he's crumbling to you guys. I feel like he's like a gritty sidewalk. He's like concrete that's slowly just crumbling out. Like, he needs a good moisturizer? Pete:                Mm-hmm (affirmative). Alex:                 Do you think that's how to stop him? Pete:                We all need a good moisturizer. Alex:                 Send him to a spa day? Justin:              Yeah. A solid pressure washer would really take him down I feel like. Pete:                No, man. Alex:                 Just give him a cream called The Pro-life Equation. It would just really smooth him out. Let's move on and talk about America Chavez: Made in the USA, number one from Marvel. Written by Kalinda Vazquez. Art by Carlos Gomez. So this is, of course, bringing back a solo title for America Chavez. It is revamping her origin quite a bit, adding some new details, some new threats. What'd you think about this book? Justin:              I like this. America Chavez is such a unique, her power set is so weird. And so I like… And her origin is so specific with her coming from another earth and sort of wandering into our world. And then most recently on the Avengers West Coast team. Very fun. I think this book's great. Pete:                Yeah. I agree. I really thought this was a fantastic first issue. Gets you excited for this world and what's going on. I really like the character. Also, super nice of her, in the middle of a mole battle, to answer questions from somebody with just a camera that… like an old camera, not even like a cell phone. So I was very impressed with her and how she handles herself. Yeah, I think they did a great job of getting me excited for more. I think this was a really solid first issue. Love the art, love the writing. Alex:                 It probably helps that this starts out in Los Angeles, but it definitely feels of a piece with the work that Kelly Thompson did on the West Coast Avengers title, on the Hawkeye title as well. You got Kate Bishop cameo in here. But it moves off into its own thing, but it has that sense of fun, that sense of weirdness. It's great. I really enjoyed this book quite a bit. Alex:                 Let's move on to the book that we talked about a little bit earlier, at least teased a little bit earlier, Batman, number 106 from DC Comics. Written by James Tynion IV and Joshua Williamson. Art by Jorge Jimenez and Gleb Melnikov. This is the new status quo for Gotham City, Batman chilling out in a basement with Ghost-Maker, fighting crime. Until some new and old villains are coming for him and things are tightening quite a bit. This is, I thought, great. Justin:              Yeah, I agree. I really- Alex:                 Pete, you have a question though. You raised your hand. Pete:                Yeah. I just… You love a good commercial in the middle of the comics. So I was just wondering what you thought of The Oracle eating Ruffaloes? I thought that was a nice nod to Mark Ruffalo who may, or may not be- Alex:                 Dude sadly died and was made into potato chips? Is that what you're talking about? Pete:                … Yeah, exactly. Justin:              Tragic. Pete:                I'm just wondering, because you love when they change the, instead of ruffles, they… So they were cute with that. Just wondering usually, you enjoy that. So I was just wondering… Alex:                 Yeah, I wish there was a little bit of a Hulk crunch on there, that would have really nailed it. But I guess, wrong universe, you couldn't go do that. Justin:              Hard to do that, yeah. Alex:                 Yeah. But yeah, that was my big takeaway from the book as well. So thank you, Pete. Pete:                Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was cool to see Batman working with Oracle. Just, she's super caszh that she can fight crime and eat chips. I mean, that's pretty awesome. But it was also interesting, this Ghost-Maker and Batman dynamic. To see how casual they are sometimes is a little jarring, but it's fun. It's a new kind of dynamic. And I like the new villain who didn't get their reveal out before they got punched in the face, was cool. Yeah, I think the Demon or Detective was fun. So it should be interesting to see how this all unfolds. So I'm in. Justin:              Yeah, and the way that this spins directly out of the Future State stuff to have this villain, this scientist setting up the Magistrate program, that they really used a ton in the Future State, but never really resolved. So I think that's cool. And we get to see that build up. I do miss… I think it's strange that Ghost-Maker is replacing Robin, basically? In a weird way. We get a Robin backup here in this issue, which I also thought was cool. Pete:                Oh, that was awesome. Justin:              Now after you've had a long day of fighting crime, do you go home and spar with your buddy? I think I'd be like, “Come on, man. Let's [crosstalk 00:13:09].” Alex:                 Sure, if you're a chef, you're cooking all day and then you go home and you eat. Same thing. Justin:              Cooking and eating is actually two very different processes, Alex. Alex:                 No, I don't think so. I don't think so. Pete:                Maybe a chef goes home and orders food, because he's so tired of cooking. Alex:                 We talked about this quite a bit, but James Tynion's run has had these weird stops and starts. It's been so good across the board, but it was supposed to be a very short storyline. Then it got expanded. Then it got interrupted by the Future State and Dark Nights: Death Metal stuff. So, this feels like a new fresh start for him. And I'm really hoping this time it gets to be whatever ongoing story he wants to tell, because he's such a good storyteller. I don't want to see another event come in, or another switch, or something like that. I want to see what is the long form story that James Tynion has to tell about Batman. Pete:                I was very confused, because the Batman one was the first time I saw the cover and I was just like, “What happened to the last event?” The cover was… I was just like, “What is going on?” So, I'm glad we got in, in the Zero Issue. Alex:                 Well, let's move on to something you probably like, Pete. Demon Days: X-Men, number one from Marvel Comics. Story set by Peach Mamoko. This is a very different take on the X-Men. What'd you think Pete? You like this book? Pete:                Well, yes, I did very much the art- Justin:              Huge X-Men fan, Pete LePage. Pete:                … Normally, yes. The art is absolutely glorious. It is just almost like a painting here. I'm a sucker for watercolors. I just love it. The character designs are so cool and unique. It's got this kind of like old style [inaudible 00:14:53] meets new. I'm very, very much into this. It was really cool. And the wolf is Wolverine named Logan. I was in it to win it, and they really delivered on this first issue. Justin:              I agree. The art is very… it's really beautiful here. I thought it was interesting for an X-Men book to have Venom be the villain, and Hulk be here? Is what I took the big red demon to be. Pete:                They're two characters in Marvel, so. Justin:              Yeah, but I don't know if you follow the X-Men really, but they're traditionally not associated with them. Alex:                 Well, that was the thing that was- Pete:                Sure. Alex:                 … confusing to me. I read this book and not once did any island fuck another island. So it didn't feel like an X-Men book to me, to be honest. Justin:              I think it was implied that Japan was fucking another- Pete:                Go on. Go on- Justin:              … the Philippines. Pete:                … name one other island. Alex:                 I was going to say, yeah. Justin:              I was trying to name a neighboring island, because the islands don't travel to fuck, they fuck the neighboring islands. Alex:                 I can picture the map. See, we got into your head. It's just Japan, and there's nothing around you except ocean. [crosstalk 00:16:02]. Pete:                Absolutely nothing. It's nothing. Justin:              A lot of ocean. Pete:                Oh, yeah. Justin:              Right. Alex:                 There you go. Yes. Very good book. Let's move on to talk about Suicide Squad, number one from DC Comics. Written by Robbie Thompson. Art by Eduardo Pansica. This is bringing in a little bit of the upcoming movie with Peacemaker. The thing that I thought was kind of fascinating about this, we didn't talk about this- Justin:              Kind of? Alex:                 … this happens in Infinite Frontier, number zero. Continues in the Batman issue. But big event, pretty much everybody in The Arkham Asylum is killed. Seemingly by Joker Gas. Turns out later it's actually the Scarecrow faking Joker Gas, including most of the inmates, including potentially Bane, among other folks. But the Suicide Squad issue takes place the same time as that. They're trying to break Talon out of Arkham Asylum when The Gas comes, and that's what we're playing with here. I like this. I thought Robbie Thompson writes a good Suicide Squad. I think the danger is there. The unnecessary deaths are there. So it hits all the bases. And Eduardo Pansica's art is real good. Justin:              I can't believe we lost Film Freak so early on in his career. Pete:                Yeah. Justin:              RIP. Pete:                I mean, I agree. I thought this was really great issue, and hopefully, the movie will be just as enjoyable. It's fun because all the Peacemaker dialogue in my head, it was John Cena speaking those lines. I didn't like the Superboy reveal, did not like that. That was scary. I thought it had a really great ending. And then it was also weird how Waller was like, “I'm tired of losing.” Alex:                 She loses a lot. Justin:              She loses a lot. I love the page of Superboy was great, I thought. The kryptonite shackles and the- Pete:                It made me sad. Justin:              … It's sad. It is sad. Because Superboy is a hero and he's entrapped. Alex:                 Sorry about that, Pete. I hope you get past that. Let's talk about Wiccan and Hulkling: King in Black, number one from Marvel. Written by T.D. Howard. Art by Luciano Vecchio. This is following up on the Empire event. They are married now, they're ruling space, and of course, some goop dragons bash their way into their honeymoon and they have to deal with that. Lots of fun stuff in here. I always like a good Wiccan and Hulkling book. And I think T.D. Howard captures their voices quite well. Justin:              Yeah, and this book- Pete:                Agreed. Justin:              … I liked that this was just a fun book. It wasn't trying to do a bunch of stuff. It was like, “Okay, we've seen… We know where these two characters are, but we haven't actually seen them be married and be ruling. So let's just do that and have it be a fun tie-in.” And I think it was very successful at that. Pete:                Yeah, I completely agree. The lightheartedness added to this big kind of a King in Black event was really cool. I really love the interaction of the guy who's holding up the little orb. And there are a lot of really cool moments, fun, little moments. I also like how, when they get the robot present, they think it's just a champagne delivery robot, which is just a fun thing. Pete:                And then just to see them together is great. I think this is just… The art's fantastic. There's just enough action. The balance with fun and give us some good relationship moments. This is just a great book from start to finish. You kind of know what you're going to get a little bit, and they really deliver on it and don't let you down. I was very happy with this book. Alex:                 Next up, The Swamp Thing, number one from DC Comics. Written by Ram V. Art by Mike Perkins. This is a new Swamp Thing with a new M.O. New villains, new weirdness, same old horror. Justin, I think you'll love this one. Justin:              [crosstalk 00:19:49] loves plants, that guy. Alex:                 And we should mention, on the Future State beat, this is the team that wrote The Swamp Thing: Future State book that was so excellent. Here, they're dealing with an entirely different Swamp Thing, entirely different story. But I think if you like that, and that book was great, it was very exciting to see them taking on this one as well. Justin:              Yeah, I agree. The Future State book was very sort of clinical. It got into some… It was about Swamp Thing building his children and how he did it in this future Earth. And this brings some of that clinical wraparound to this series. And then we just get into some brand new characters, some mythology building. I think it's the same sort of green versus the rot situation in a good way. But a brand new character, who's Swamp Thing. We don't, he doesn't seem aware of that he is Swamp Thing. And we're getting that slowly told over the course of this first issue. Really nice art. This book reminded me of early Starman, both in- Pete:                Ooh, really? Justin:              … the writing and the art style. So I'm here for it. Pete:                Couple of things Justin, if you don't mind, since- Justin:              I do mine, so let's just do one thing from you Pete, if possible. Pete:                … Oh, okay. All right. Great, great. So if it's just one thing, I guess I'll just pick the… It starts off with a plane being grabbed out of the sky by a giant, let's say, beanstalk. Like, that's really high up. I mean that- Alex:                 No, no, no, no. Pete:                … I mean, to grab a plane- Alex:                 Okay, so the guy- Pete:                … out of the sky- Alex:                 … Can I clarify this one? Pete:                … I'm talking to Justin. Alex:                 Oh, okay. Pete:                I'm having a conversation with Justin. He's the Swamp Thing expert. Trying to get some clarification here. Justin:              Are you familiar with- Pete:                No, go ahead [crosstalk 00:21:34]. Justin:              … one of the other major beanstalk storylines, Jack versus Beanstalk? Pete:                Right, right. I'm very familiar. Justin:              That beanstalk went very high up. It went so high up there were giants living there. Pete:                Yeah, that's what I thought. Justin:              So, beanstalks- Pete:                That's why I said beanstalk, because that's the only thing that I know that could reach a plane in the sky. Alex:                 There are big, tall, terrible giants in the sky. Justin:              That's true. That's the point Alex wanted to make. Alex, not very religious, but he does believe that giants dominate, live in the sky in the clouds. [crosstalk 00:22:04] Alex:                 The lyrics I know from Into the Woods, I say out loud, whenever I can. No, it was not a beanstalk, Pete. The new Swamp Thing was riding on a plane. He was having nightmares. And in his nightmare, he pictured himself exploding into plants out of the plane, not a beanstalk- Pete:                No. Alex:                 … rising to the plane. Pete:                I thought [crosstalk 00:22:23]. Alex:                 No, but then basically, Swamp Thing powers exploded outwards while he was still on the plane, causing it to break. Fantastically drawn panel. I love that. So terrifying. But it turns out he's just having a nightmare there. Pete:                Oh, okay. All right, so- Justin:              He's made of plants though? Alex:                 Yeah. Pete:                … All right. So question number two then will be for both of you guys, since you both seem to be experts. Alex:                 Okay. Pete:                One of the reasons I had to move out of New York City is because anytime you're walking in central park, there's always people popping out of the trees. And at first I thought it was like a [inaudible 00:22:54] of elves, just when the elves got too big, they got kicked out of the trees. Justin:              Yes, this all- Pete:                But it turns out it's Swamp Thing. Justin:              … this all checks out so far. Pete:                I just… That part… The book to me was a lot creepier and scarier than I was ready for. I'm just wondering, have you guys, in Central Park, seen the people popping out, or? Justin:              The people popping in the park, people popping in the park. Let me say Pete, I feel like, so you wanted a book that was more focused on beans and elves? And this book just didn't really have that for you. Pete:                Well, no. I mean, Swamp Thing can be kind of a horror story type of thing, but there's also a lot of great stories that Swamp Thing does where it's got a little heart, a little love, that kind of stuff in it. But I was just… They weren't straight horror for this issue. So I was a little- Justin:              Well, I think they're going to… Pete:                … taken aback. Justin:              Once we get to know the character, I think that you'll find the heart there. And The Swamp Thing, also a great history of horror. Have you guys ever grown beans? Pete:                Yeah. Alex:                 No, but I will say that when you're walking out and somebody pops out. That happened to me one time, and he showed me things, many beautiful things that I hadn't thought to explore. Justin:              A hundred percent. Let's let that hang in the air for a little bit longer. Nice. Alex:                 Pete, any other questions? Pete:                Nope. No, thank you for filling those. I appreciate it. Alex:                 Absolutely. Justin:              Anytime. Alex:                 Anytime. Let's move on to talk about Nocterra, number one from Image Comics. Written by Scott Snyder. Art by Tony S. Daniel. Now we had Scott on the live show a couple of weeks back to talk about this very book. He teased it. It's all about a post-apocalyptic world where there's no sun and a girl who lives in it, who used to be blind that is now the only one who can lead them. Justin:              I'm just a post-apocalyptic girl living in a post-apocalyptic world, Alex. When will you understand that? Alex:                 I thought it was great. This is Scott Snyder's big wild storytelling matched with Tony S. Daniel's superhero art. There's… I love the idea of a post-apocalyptic world where it's 13 years later and people are like, “Time to dress crazy now. Let's do this.” Justin:              I can't wait for the apocalypse when it's like- Alex:                 What? Justin:              … “All right, dude. Now you can wear lights on your head and stuff.” Like, “Get loose with your fashion.” Alex:                 We're living in an apocalypse right now and I'm dressed the same as I always have. Pete:                Oh, boo. Justin:              Exactly. You're not taking advantage. Alex:                 I'm not. [crosstalk 00:25:21]. Pete:                I tell you, the truck lights in this is amazing. I hope that catches on and truckers start really lightening up their trucks like that. So that's magical. Justin:              Yeah, when will the truckers catch on? I like this book a lot. Really fun world that's created here. Scary. You ride along with your, this, our main character here, and really feel for her. It's fun. Pete:                Art's great. Really think it's a very interesting, cool story. And they do such a great job of getting you excited for this world and trying to figure out all the things that have gone wrong. A lot of really cool, interesting moments. I did want her to look a little bit more like a trucker and less like a superhero, but then whatever, that's cool. Alex:                 No, but I think that's what you do with Tony S. Daniel. He's an amazing superhero artist. So you lead into that, and you get wild designs, and you give people superhero costumes, and you make that work. It's Scott playing to Tony S. Daniel's strengths, the same way that he does to Jock, or the same way that they do in Undiscovered Country to Giuseppe Camuncoli. Just leaning into those artists and what they can do. And then following this pass down. I think that's what works here, and it's fun. Justin:              I don't think I've ever heard anyone utter the phrase, “I wish that person looked more like a trucker.” And I appreciate it. Very rarely said thing. Alex:                 Next up, Crime Syndicate, number one from DC Comics. Written by Andy Schmidt. Art by Kieran McKeown and Bryan Hitch. Here we're getting a semi-satirical look at the crime syndicate and their world and how they come together on the newly revamped Earth-3. What'd you think about this one? Justin:              These people love crimes. It's our heroes, but they love crimes. Alex:                 This didn't really hit for me to be honest. There's some bits that I liked it at, but- Justin:              Maybe you didn't get it Alex, but it's the heroes that you know and love, but then they love crimes. Alex:                 My favorite page is the backup story for which is, I don't remember, Ultraman? Is that what he's called? The Superman add-on? Pete:                Yeah. Alex:                 Ultraman's origin, it's a riff off of All-Star Superman. And you get the first three panels are kind of the same. And then the last one is, it shows the Kents and it's like deranged psychopaths or something like that? Pete:                Yeah. Alex:                 That's funny, that made me laugh. But then I feel like it didn't quite follow up from there, the rest of the story. I wanted to go wilder and darker this book, personally. Pete:                Really? Alex:                 Yeah. Pete:                I thought it was too dark for me. Seeing a Superman figure, this Ultraman guy, be so douchey and so… Abusing, his power in such an awful way, it was just so scary and against everything that I want out of a superhero. Like throwing a newspaper truck in a high rise of a skyscraper, through the office glass, just because someone wrote a story about you? Go fuck yourself, you fucking superhero. I have thicker skin, Jesus' age. But yeah, I think that's the point of it to just show how evil and douchey people can be I guess? But yeah, to me, it was a little too dark and I wish they took it back a little bit. So I guess a little different from [inaudible 00:28:39]. Justin:              I agree with Alex, I wanted to go further. It felt like it was heading for that tone of a Mark Russell book, but it doesn't quite go that far with the satire. I agree with you also, I did like the backup. Felt like a little bit more in that sort of fun, irreverent tone taking on the Superman origin. Alex:                 Let's move on and talk about one that I bet Pete liked, Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters, number one from Oni Press. By Chris Samnee and Laura Samnee. This is a- Pete:                Aww. Alex:                 … all ages title. Pete:                They're writing a comic book together. Alex:                 They've been working together for a while. Pete:                Sure. Great. Alex:                 Pete, talk about what you liked about this book. Pete:                First of all, words, don't need them. This book proves that. A lot of amazing panels with barely any words. The art's unbelievable. Love the character design. Such a cool, interesting world. And also kind of a nightmare, I'm sure, for you parents to yutes over there, that has to be like your worst nightmare. You're watching your kid, then all of a sudden you get taken out or get a bump on your head, and now you don't know where your kid is. I mean, that has to be like your worst nightmare come true. But yeah, I really, really enjoyed this. I think it's such a solid first issue. I can't wait to see where this goes. Justin:              I agree. This was very fun. It reminded me, maybe I have Bone brain, given what we've talked about lately, but they reminded- Pete:                Yeah, you do. Justin:              … me of Jeff Smith's Bone. Alex:                 Come on, everything can't remind you of Jeff Smith's Bone. Justin:              That's not, the times I've mentioned Bone in the last couple of podcasts we've done have not been because something reminded me of it. And this legitimately does. It has that really smart paneling, good storytelling, some heart to it. I liked it a lot. Alex:                 I thought this was really good as well. Just classic storytelling. Like you were saying, Pete, from the Samnees. I think they did a great job. If you're looking for something fresh and new, check this out. Next up, Sea of Sorrows, number four from ITW. Written by Rich Douek. Art by Alex Cormack. This is continuing a increasingly bloody and deadly- Pete:                Oh, man. Alex:                 … mermaid saga. Bunch of folks trapped on a ship. It's like Under Siege, but with killer mermaids. I think that's a fair way of putting it, right? Justin:              Ooh, that's nice. When does she sing, Part of Your World? I just feel like I just don't know how they're going to work it in? Alex:                 It just hasn't come yet, but there's a couple of more issues to go in the mini series. So I'm sure it's coming. Justin:              I like this book. It's got such a great tone to it. I mean, obviously, Under Siege is… A lot of huge fans out there of Under Siege, especially Under Siege Two. Alex:                 Dark Territory? Yeah, of course. Pete:                Oh, my god. Justin:              A hundred percent. Way to drop that you're a huge train fan. So the fact that those- Pete:                Are you guys talking about fucking Seagal movies over here? Alex:                 Yeah. Justin:              Specifically- Alex:                 Always. Justin:              … Under Siege Two. Alex, when you got into Under Siege Two, did you come at it as an action movie fan, or more about from a train fan? We were just wondering. Alex:                 No, I was more of a people-popping-out-of-a-cake fan. That's kind of where I started with Under Siege. Pete:                Oh, come on, man. Alex:                 Then I sort of went from there. Pete:                Nice. Justin:              A lot of people come to it from there. Alex:                 So, yeah. You should check out my letter box list of that. Pete:                Oh my God. Yeah, this- Alex:                 Movies with people popping out of cakes. Pete:                … Anyways, back to the comic. So this is like- Justin:              Back to the comics? Never! Pete:                … It's very scary, very intense and the paneling, and just the action, and the design of this really does such a great job of really getting into this frenzy like, “Holy, what's going to happen?” All these things are kind of happening at once to this ship. And just when you think like, “Okay, I got a handle on this evil mermaid.” It keeps getting heightened levels and levels of how scary she actually is. This is really just a horrifying, amazing comic that really creeps me the fuck out and makes me never want to go on a boat again. Justin:              Mm-hmm (affirmative). Alex:                 Mm-hmm (affirmative). Justin:              Yeah, I agree. It's good horror. When the mermaid opens or body mouth, do you feel like it's very Little Shop Of Horrors and perhaps the song coming out of the mouth is some sort of Suddenly Seymour style song? Alex:                 No, it reminded me a little bit of the end of the first act of Into the Woods. When they're saying, “Into the woods, we have to go, I hate to leave a have to though.” That's mostly what it reminded me of. Justin:              Interesting. [crosstalk 00:33:11]. Alex:                 Not related, but just always, that's always in my head. Justin:              It's true. Alex:                 Last one to talk about, The Comic Book History of Animation, number four from IDW. Written by Fred Van Lente. Art by Ryan Dunlavey. This is a guinea for Pete, because not only is it about the rise of the Studio Ghibli films, it's also about the rise of animation on Saturday mornings with GI Joe, with He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, She-Ra, all of that good stuff. As usual- Pete:                Yeah, don't forget She-Ra. Alex:                 … super well-written, super fun to read, super informative. This is just a great- Pete:                Gem. Alex:                 … book. Pete:                I mean, Fred Van Lente is just knocking it out… It's so informative. And the art is so creative and cool. This really does such a great job of teaching you things about things that you already know and love in such a fun, creative way. I really want this to be like an animated podcast or something. This is just so- Justin:              Ooh, yes. Pete:                … so cool that I don't want this to stop. I want to learn all things in this format, and I want to learn it from these two. I was just so impressed by this. I grew up in this time and just learning all of this stuff is really crazy. As a kid I just love Saturday mornings. And yeah, this is just so hilarious. The Superman sitting down at like a Hollywood place with Fred, from Scooby Doo doing the finger guns? Hysterical. I love Skeletor in this. Just I just so many amazing, cool things. I [crosstalk 00:34:42]. Alex:                 Well, and Pete, I have a question for you. And this is an honest question, given that they do spend a lot of time talking about the very dark side of this, and the very negative ramifications and reasonings for doing these Saturday morning cartoons. Does that color your viewing of them at all? Pete:                No. I mean, unfortunately when you learn about things, especially things that happen back more in time, you're always finding out racist fucked-up bullshit things. So it's, unfortunately that's life. But as a kid, those kind of Saturday mornings were amazing. So that doesn't… It's hard to go back and watch some of those things because they really don't hold up. But yeah, this didn't, it didn't hurt reading about it and learning about that, which I think- Alex:                 Well now, now that you're an adult, your Saturday mornings are a fucking nightmare, right? Pete:                … Yeah. Justin:              You got to watch your Saturday morning documentaries. Pete:                No, man. Justin:              With a big bowl of cereal and a bunch of serious movies. Alex:                 Oh, here we go. Another murder doc on Netflix. Justin:              What I love, I think Fred Van Lente and Ryan Dunlavey do so well is, they add the little details that you just, they're so hard to find, it's so well researched and then well illustrated by Ryan. And a couple of them that I really liked here were just how everything was sort of made up on the spot. All of these things that feel so important or particular like, “Yabba dabba doo,” and the name of Scooby-Doo and it's just like, “Oh, hurry up. This is doo.” Name… Or like, “Hey, say Yahoo.” And instead he said yabba, dabba doo. And then it became this super iconic thing. And it just feels like stuff like that doesn't happen anymore in the creative process. So being able to read this and see this is so cool. Pete:                I take offense to that, because we usually make stuff up in the moment and it becomes comedy gold. Justin:              No, we do, yes. I'm speaking more, I guess, television. I mean you can't script Netflix. Classic. Alex:                 If you'd like to support our podcast, patrion.com/comicbookclub.
