Speaker 1: role as the new crime lord of tattooing now that

19
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: job is out of the picture. I kept wanting to

20
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: hear the Sopranos theme under it because it's like a

21
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: lot of you know, Boba Fett meeting with the various

22
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,720

25
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: ep'd by Dave Filoni and John Favreau. This looks super fun. Next,

26
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: the trailer long awaited trailer for Morbius from Sony in

27
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: conjunction with Marvel Studios has been released. It stars Jared

28
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: Leto as the famed Spider Man villain Morbius, the Living Vampire.

29
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: He is a physician who has a blood disorder. Then

30
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: he is like, how do I cure this thing? So

31
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: he goes down to an area where there are a

32
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: lot of vampire bats and guess what, he becomes a

33
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: fucking vampire. It stars Matt Smith, Jared Leto, Jared Harris,

34
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: Al Madrigal, and Tyrese Gibson. It is directed by Daniel

35
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,279
Speaker 1: Espinoza from a script by Matt Sazama and Burke Sharpless.

36
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: This trailer has come out two years after the first

37
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: teaser trailer was released. In four years after the project

38
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: was announced.

39
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 2: Obviously a lot.

40
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: Has changed in that time, and it is laden with

41
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: references from Sony's various Spider Man offerings, including an appearance

42
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: by Michael Keaton's Vulture. There is a shot of the

43
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: Oscorp building. There is a mention of Rhino and Black

44
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: Cat from the cover of a Daily Bugle. There is

45
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: a mention of that thing that happened in San Francisco,

46
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: which is clearly a reference to Venom. So lots of

47
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: Spider Man from all versions of Sony's Spider Verse happening here.

48
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: Be interesting to see how this ties into the MCU.

49
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: If at all I mean, I'll watch it.

50
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: And then finally, nine employees of Image Comics have announced

51
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: that they are going to form a comic book workers

52
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: union called Comic Book Workers United. The decision announcement reads,

53
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: in part quote, our workforce and the comic book and

54
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: publishing industry as a whole is over taxed and undervalued.

55
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: This is detrimental not only to general staff, but also

56
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: to the creators. We were paid to serve in the

57
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: audience as they entered work to entertain. We love what

58
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: we do, but loving what you do doesn't mean you

59
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: can't or shouldn't ask for improvements to your working conditions.

60
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: And it was signed by the Image staffers Ryan Brewer,

61
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: Leanna Counter, Marla Isaac, Drew Fitzgerald, Melissa Gifford, Cloos, Trisha Ramos,

62
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: John Schlaffman, and Erica Schnatz. Somewhat ironic since Image was

63
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: formed in nineteen ninety two by disaffected comic book creators

64
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: from DC and Marvel who wanted to benefit from the

65
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: success of their creations in a way that working at

66
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: the Big two simply wouldn't. So the fact that this

67
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: is happening with Image is interesting and I hope they succeed.

68
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 2: I hope they succeed.

69
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: This builds on a history there's been a lot of

70
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: like aborted attempts to kind of unionize the comics industry,

71
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: going back to the Academy of Comic Book Artists from

72
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: the seventies, which was an organization that stan Lee created

73
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: that in his mind was would act as like a

74
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: promotional arm for the comics book industry, but for younger creators,

75
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: more militant creators at the time, including Neil Adams and

76
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: Archie good One. They thought, okay, we should turn this

77
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: into basically a comic book union that will go out

78
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: there and fight for the interests of creators for better pay,

79
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: more equitable profit sharing, better work hours, better working conditions,

80
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: et cetera. And that one kind of broke down because

81
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: there are a lot of disagreements obviously, one about what

82
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: the ACBA would actually do, and then two how best

83
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: to share those benefits, Like would it just be writers

84
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: and pencilers, What about the inkers, what about the colorists,

85
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: what about the letterers? And it's so I'm hoping that

86
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: this union succeeds one and doesn't break down along those

87
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: similar lines. If you're going to be inclusive, you got

88
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: to include everybody. That means writers, artists, pencilers, colorists, and everyone.

89
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: I hope it succeeds some.

90
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 2: Of the goals. The stated goals.

91
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: That this union has put out there in their announcement

92
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: says they want to foster a more competitive industry through

93
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: salary workload transparency for all existing and proposed job titles,

94
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: more transparent company culture stuff in there, for allowing employees

95
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: to continue to work remote, et cetera. It's a long

96
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: time coming, and I hope this. I hope this works up.

97
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: Next we go into the airlock with Rosie.

98
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:23,720

00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 3: It's one of those stories that I think defines the characters,

160
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 3: sort of like how Matt fact fraction in David Aya's

161
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: Hawkeye became like, oh, this is what Hawkeye should be like.

162
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 3: This is very much in the same vein as what

163
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 3: what they've done with Black Widow. Fantastic character moments with

164
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 3: with that, that that that Kelly wrote, and the art

165
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: is amazing, Like car Kelly has has sort of this

166
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 3: staple where she can do some really beautiful double spreads

167
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 3: that conveys so much action. Uh, and this usually sent

168
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 3: it around like a center point frame. There's something crazy

169
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: going on if you're looking for some amazing art as

170
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: well as some beautiful, touching storytelling. I highly recommend Black Widow.

171
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 3: It's such a fun run. It's funny, it's heart wrenching

172
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 3: and also has the fun stuff with like you can

173
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 3: we give the combooks like oh, there's a there's a

174
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: there's a dude in a hovercr like.

175
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 4: Every day and it's grounded but.

176
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 3: Everything. Oh right, there you go now, I'm yeah, Harry

177
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 3: recommend Rosie.

178
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna like, I'm thinking of something in that

179
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 4: would be like a similar vein because I love the

180
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 4: idea of this being like a reading list for me,

181
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 4: like something you really those double page spreads. The way

182
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 4: Kelly can write them and Elena can bring them to

183
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 4: life is the twenty thirteen Young Avengers run. They're Kieran Gilla, Yeah,

184
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 4: Matt Wilson on colors. Those colors are vital to the books. Like,

185
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 4: this book is so good. It's like I love the

186
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 4: original Young Avengers, Jim Chung's like the best, and but

187
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 4: this is like this was my thing, Like I love

188
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 4: this book. I got the first issue with a Brian

189
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 4: le O'Malley variant cover, and it's basically like Team of

190
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 4: young heroes and it's cosmic and it's weird, and it's

191
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 4: what we're basically about to see in the MCU two

192
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 4: looking at the team, know America, Chaves, Patriot, You've got

193
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 4: like Kate Bishop, Hawkeye. You know, there's and it's and

194
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 4: it's queer and it's funny and it's inclusive and there

195
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 4: is there are these double page spreads and these things

196
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 4: that Jamie does with Paneling, Like there's this one double

197
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 4: page spread where they're having a fight, and all around

198
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 4: the edges there are like little kind of like outtakes

199
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 4: where you're seeing different people fighting the number the fighter

200
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 4: and it is like I remember reading.

201
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: That and being like, ship it broke my brain. The

202
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 3: first time I read that.

203
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 4: I was like, this is what comics are, Like, this

204
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 4: is what you can do with them. And it's like

205
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 4: it's fun, it's sexy, it's like silly, but and it's

206
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 4: kid Loki. Wow, big kid Loki storyline. If that's your thing.

207
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 4: So I think that is like a really and that's

208
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 4: from this era of Marvel that I just loved when

209
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 4: they were doing Marvel. Now you know that Miss Marvel,

210
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 4: Kamala Kahan, Like there was a lot and that is

211
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 4: just like, that's peak I when I work in a

212
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 4: comic shop, I used to recommend that book to everyone.

213
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: Gillan, uh mckelvy, Matt Wilson. That is an elite, top

214
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: level creative team, so clean, the writing is musical, it's romantic.

215
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: I love that one. That's a great one.

216
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of x Men out there, there's

217
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, forty fifty years now of x Men history.

218
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: I am going to select for the new reader. X

219
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: Men Grand design Ed Pisker's three volume compendium of X

220
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: Men history, done as like almost like a zine. So

221
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: it's not gonna give you like the granular detailed stuff

222
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: like about you know, it's not gonna give you everything,

223
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: but it's gonna basically catch you up in four or

224
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: five decades of X Men history in this really fun,

225
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: almost like indie art style.

226
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: That I super love.

227
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: Whether you're a X Men fanatic or someone who's just

228
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: like wants to know all the stuff that happened before

229
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: diving in. I think it's a great pickup. Listen, bar

230
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: the first one from your library or if.

231
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 2: You have comic compony, yeah, library, yeah, and if you

232
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: like it, go pick it up. From your from your

233
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: local comic shop. Next zig another one, give us another one, you.

234
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: Know, since we're since I'm coming off that I'm dismounting

235
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 3: from from your pick. For X Man, I gotta recommend

236
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 3: zeb Wells and Steven Segovia's Hellian's I Love My Boys V.

237
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 3: We work together on Cheehak. He's super funny guy in

238
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: this comic is very very funny, also very dark. He's

239
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: he the way that he's able to have a character

240
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: like mister Senator have actual bits and I have punchlines

241
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 3: in his comics is missed.

242
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 4: The sinister is like the I want to do this

243
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 4: is so funny, like and you can. Hellien's is a

244
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 4: brilliant choice because it seems like maybe it's a little

245
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 4: bit more heavy because it's just been off sea. But

246
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 4: it's not like you can jump into this book and

247
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 4: just absolutely love it and if you really love it,

248
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 4: you can go to House of X all the other

249
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 4: stuff like this is like the and it's what's fifteen issues.

250
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 3: And yes, easy easy and easy out. It's one of

251
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 3: those things that also, like the Sculturals, I guys like

252
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 3: we know what the Thunderbolt told in IR like we

253
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 3: know what Suicide Squad is, so like taking that team

254
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 3: and couching it in like the X Men world, and

255
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 3: also being like, oh, I'm gonna have some of the

256
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 3: funniest jokes you've ever read, also sandwiched in between some

257
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 3: really traumatic stuff going on, much of the same way

258
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 3: that I think that Black Widows sort of redefines a

259
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: black widow for this sort of modern age. I think

260
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 3: if Helions could be redefined, I think in the year's

261
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, like, this is definitely the book that

262
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 3: I would recommend if you're looking for something that's new

263
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 3: at currently being made. It's also funny and has hits

264
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 3: all the different tiers of like action, like the dramatic bits.

265
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 3: It also a really really really funny book, and it.

266
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 4: Comes out regularly as well. For a big two book.

267
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 4: I rarely have big two stuff like on my pull

268
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 4: list for a long time. Yeah, this is in our house.

269
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 4: That is that that's like Helen's is just so good.

270
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 4: I'm so glad you included that one. It's just it's

271
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 4: so good. It's so funny, but it's.

272
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: Also like really yeah, yeah, the mister Sinister aspect is

273
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: fantastic because you know, for mister Sinister, classic X Men

274
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: villain has a very tangled history within the X Men lore,

275
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: but like you don't need to know any of that.

276
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: It's like so campy and funny and weird. Yeah, it's

277
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: a great pick, great pick.

278
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 4: And he has like an incredible cape, which is like

279
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 4: one of my all time favorite.

280
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 3: I do love their bits that revolve around the spindles

281
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 3: on his cape. They dive into very fun stuff.

282
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: H Rosie.

283
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna go for a let's think. I'm like, oh,

284
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 4: that was just so good. Okay, let's go old. Let's

285
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 4: go old because you went there. Okay, So I'm gonna

286
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 4: recommend We've talked Infinity Gornela, which is on my list

287
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 4: because I just think that's such a great comic. But

288
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 4: we've talked about that before people know it. That's your MC.

289
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go for Silver Surfer Rebirth of Thaos,

290
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 4: which is from nineteen ninety. It's Ron Limb, whose Absolute

291
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 4: Icon also was artist on Infinity Gone and Jim stalin

292
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 4: the career of Thanos and Infinnity Go. This is just

293
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 4: a really cool, weird ninety story about Silver Surfer and

294
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 4: Thanos and it's what led into Infinity Gorne lit. So

295
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 4: this is a great place to if you want to

296
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 4: know how Thanos ended up on the Quest for the Gems.

297
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 4: This includes really great art called Danos Quest and it

298
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 4: is just so much fun. Run them is one of

299
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 4: my absolute favorite artists, just absolutely stunning, brilliant, weird, cosmic art.

300
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 4: If you're looking for something where it's like you want

301
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 4: to be someone who can go into them SEU and

302
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 4: you have a little bit more context on what's going on,

303
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 4: and maybe you want to make up some fan theories

304
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 4: or you want to chat to your friends about what happened.

305
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 4: I feel like this is a relevant book. I feel

306
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 4: like this is a good direction to go to, and

307
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 4: it's just really cool. And they actually have this book

308
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 4: wasn't collected very often, but there is a silver Stuff

309
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 4: of Rebirth of Thanos collection which is really easy to

310
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 4: just grab as a trade.

311
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: I love it. That's a great one.

312
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: Let's see where will I go? Okay, so let's jump

313
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: to DC. I think if you're listen, this is dead easy.

314
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: You want to know about Batman? Right, Batman? You're one

315
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: Frank Miller, David Matsucelli, first of all, that creative team

316
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: in that year did Batman You'r One and Devil Born Again,

317
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: which is just two of the top top top greatest

318
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: arcs ever. And Batman Year one. It tells you right

319
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: in the title.

320
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 2: What it is.

321
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: It is the first year that Bruce Wayne put on

322
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: the cape, put on the cowl, and started skulking around

323
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: at night trying to be Batman. And it's the ups

324
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: and downs, the ins and outs, the trial and error

325
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: of what you need to do and what you experience

326
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: when you're trying to become a masked vigilante in the

327
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: most crime burden city in DC comics America.

328
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 2: And the art is just Yeah.

329
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 4: Maza Kelly's as like Conreal. There's so many moments you'll

330
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 4: recognize even if you haven't read the comic. When you

331
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 4: see it, you'll be like, oh, that's what I ass from.

332
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: Yes, it's just like iconic stuff. The pacing of the art,

333
00:17:54,840 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: the framing, it's just absolutely beautiful. And it's everything you

334
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: need to know where Batman comes from and what he

335
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: has to face as he meets a bunch of people

336
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: from his Rogues gallery towards the end of the story.

337
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: Really really great. Pick it up as a trade perfect

338
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: next zig Once again, what's next.

339
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 3: You know, I don't have any DC because I'm a

340
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 3: company man through and through. But what I do have,

341
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 3: you know, if you're look at him, that's little bit

342
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 3: different flavoring from I think traditional Cape superhero comics. You

343
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 3: gotta check out hell Boy. I highly I mean any Hellboy.

344
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, just so much great stuff.

345
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 3: There's so much great there's I mean, the good thing

346
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 3: about Hellboy is that it's not very serialized, especially this

347
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 3: first couple of comics. You can just pick up their

348
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 3: basically folklore, So you know, I highly recommend Hellboy, The

349
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 3: Chained Coffin and others like that's the first one that

350
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 3: I read for Hellboy, even.

351
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 4: Like Seed of Destruction, which is volume one, Like that's

352
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 4: you you can just jump on, like that's such a

353
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 4: good thing. And it does kind of link to DC

354
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 4: because a lot of Mike mcnoll's original work was at DC,

355
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 4: like he did a little bit Batman, you know, so

356
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 4: I think I think that's a really cool course. That's

357
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 4: also I think one of the best if you like

358
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 4: superhero comic and you want to dive into something that's

359
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 4: more independent creator around, but still has that folkloric, mythological

360
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 4: epic scope. I think Hellboy is like a really good choice.

361
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 3: Yes, that choice of words is I think is what

362
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 3: really draws me to it is that you know there

363
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 3: most of them are myths and fairy tales and folklore,

364
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 3: and because just human beings have been telling those things

365
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 3: for a thousand of years, Like it instantly feels familiar

366
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 3: but also grandness of scale, but like you could have

367
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 3: a story that lasts you know, ten pages, that is

368
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 3: in and out, but it feels very complete because we've

369
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 3: heard versions of that as long as I for fort

370
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 3: since we've been going up forever. But also they are fantastic,

371
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 3: Like the use of colors and shadows that he does

372
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 3: is just next world. And also it's very nice different

373
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 3: spin if you used to like I think the Eight

374
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 3: Head the Eight Heads of like Comic Web, like superheres,

375
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 3: everyone's like jacked and like they're like all six foot five.

376
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: It's nice seeing a different take on that. And it's

377
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 3: also a nice seeing some things that are made outside

378
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 3: of like the Big too, if you're looking against some

379
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: more independent comics.

380
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think as well, like something that could

381
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 4: really I think is a good another good inroad for

382
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 4: people who are mostly into Big two is like it's

383
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 4: almost like a it's a shared universe of folklore, so

384
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 4: you have all these different characters from all over the world,

385
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 4: and instead of it being like Batman teaming up with

386
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 4: you know, the Justice League or whatever, or founding Justice League,

387
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 4: it's instead you've got like Barba Yaga and like all

388
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 4: these different but also you know hell Boy and all

389
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 4: these other like Lobster Johnson, like these characters that Mike

390
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 4: created as well. I just I think those books are

391
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 4: so wonderful and really cool to see a creator who

392
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 4: got to do a book for such a long time

393
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 4: kind of end it on his own terms and then

394
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 4: he does dip back into it. But that is something

395
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 4: if you want to get into something and just do it,

396
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 4: it's you can do that. That can be your seat dive.

397
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a there's a breaking bad aspect too of

398
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: hell Boy, where it's like Mignola keeps putting hell Boy

399
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: into situations where you're like, how's he gonna get out

400
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: of this way? And he gets out of it and

401
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: it ends up mattering and changing. The story is as

402
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: they move forward into it, where things just get worse

403
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: and worse and worse and worse and worse for hell Boy,

404
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: who's you know, entire struggle as a character is trying

405
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: to avoid the fate laid out to him. And each

406
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: time he each time he like puts the fade off

407
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: for a little while, it comes back stronger and he

408
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 1: has to resist it even stronger again, and it just

409
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: it's a great, great arc all the way through.

410
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 2: Could not agree one, Rosie.

411
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 4: Okay, So I'm gonna use you know, Zigg's very good

412
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 4: deflection to go back to his distinguished competitions. So if

413
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 4: you if you read, if you read, if you read

414
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 4: hall Boy, and you love it, and you're like, what

415
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 4: is dark and weird and similar? But what exists in

416
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 4: this this DC space that I love with this? So

417
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go for Saga of the swamp Thing the

418
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 4: nineteen eighty four to so from Sagara Swamping twenty one,

419
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 4: which is when Alan Moore, Stephen Besset John Tottlebin and

420
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 4: that is like the weirdest best stuff ever. So this

421
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 4: is really where the swamp Thing. The Swamping was created

422
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 4: by Lem Wayne and Bernie Wrightson, and it's this great

423
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 4: horror character. But here basically just before this they kill

424
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 4: swamp Thing, he gets shot in the head and so

425
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 4: Alan Moore basically was like, wow, he's made of plants.

426
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 4: So he just comes back to life, and it really

427
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 4: it reinvents it. It introduces a lot of the stuff

428
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 4: that we know about swamp thing, and it has this

429
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 4: absolutely incredible issue called Rights of Spring, which is like

430
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 4: super notorious because it's basically this super trippy swamp thing,

431
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 4: basically like giving a tuba off himself for his girlfriend

432
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 4: to eat and then they trip together and like unbelievable,

433
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 4: And I just think that is That's the kind of

434
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 4: comic you can give to anyone. Like if someone's really

435
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 4: really into horror and they love Talboy, for example, you

436
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 4: can give it to them. If you've got if you

437
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 4: want to get a comic for your parents or someone

438
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 4: older and they just really appreciate more classical style art,

439
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 4: that's a great election. If somebody's read Watchmen and they

440
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 4: want to know other Alan more stuff to read, like,

441
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 4: there's just it's just so much fun, and they've really

442
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 4: done a great job of collecting it. It's also a

443
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 4: good back issue comic. If you're a collector, you can

444
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 4: go to your local comic shop. You can probably find

445
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 4: that issue twenty one for kind of ten to fifteen bucks,

446
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 4: and you can sort of start a fun collection. So

447
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 4: I think it's a really nice comic for a lot

448
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 4: of different reasons.

449
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 2: Wow, this is great.

450
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: Okay, So I am going to say, gosh, I'm Ultimate

451
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: Spider Man.

452
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 4: I just think, Jason, that is not decenta.

453
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

454
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: Going back to going back to Marvel, Marvel's Ultimate Universe.

455
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: So the Ultimate Universe was a initiative that Marvel put

456
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: into place early two thousands that was basically like, how

457
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: do we how do we bring the Marvel Universe into

458
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: the modern world, right?

459
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 2: And so.

460
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: It's it's just great. There's I think it's about one

461
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty issues all told, I want to say,

462
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: And you know, just read it all the way up

463
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: through spoiler, the death of Spider Man, the introduction of

464
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: Miles Marnallas.

465
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 3: Good.

466
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 4: It's so good.

467
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: It hurts so so so good, Mark Bagley, Stuart Immanen

468
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: and others, and it you know, it puts Peter Parker

469
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: into early two thousands New York. You get to see

470
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: it's and it is a real like Peter Parker as

471
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 1: a teen figuring it out. You feel the danger of

472
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: what could happen. If these various villains find out about

473
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: Peter Parker's secret identity, and you know, because it is

474
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: Ultimate Universe, there are real stakes which again lead to

475
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: Peter Parker's absolutely heartbreaking death.

476
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 2: Great, great run.

477
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 4: It's so good. It has to one of my favorite

478
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 4: Spider Man moments of all time. Yeah, there's the absolutely,

479
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 4: there's the there's the I always remember, like post the

480
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 4: death of Spider Man, there's a scene with Miles and

481
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 4: he's like remembering Peter with all these different family members

482
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 4: that is that has like there's a scene I think

483
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 4: it's Gwen or someone who's remembering and that she like

484
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 4: imagines what their whole life would have been. Like, Yeah,

485
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 4: it's like a silent page with and it is so good,

486
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 4: and we talk. We talk about Clamont a lot, and

487
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 4: this was actually I think Bendis overtook Clamont as the

488
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 4: longest writer on one run during on a Spider Man.

489
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 4: So that's like also a milestone.

490
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: And there's a handoff, like to hand off from an

491
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: iconic character Peter Parker two Miles Morales and do it

492
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: in a way where it honors both characters and you're like,

493
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: Miles Morales immediately enters the pantheon of comic.

494
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 3: Immediate like it.

495
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 2: That is so hard to do and they absolutely pull

496
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 2: it off.

497
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 3: And also a character built as a clap back to

498
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 3: all the they were like, yeah, we don't want to yes,

499
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 3: a non white Spider Man, Like, oh, we're not only

500
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 3: going to make one, but he's going to become like

501
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 3: the face of like the generation of Spider Man going forward. Now,

502
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 3: that's who.

503
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 4: Kids dress up as. Now, like, that's who my nephew

504
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 4: dresses up as. That's who kids that con dress up as.

505
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter who it is. Miles Morle has that suit,

506
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 4: that beautiful red and black suit, the sneakers like that

507
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 4: is and obviously into the Spider Verse. Just the best

508
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,239
Speaker 4: Spider Man movie of all time. And yeah that I

509
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 4: think that's such a great recommendation because that's another one too,

510
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 4: where like a lot of times, getting into comics, it's

511
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 4: sporadic issues. Yeah yeah, but oh I'm a Spider Man.

512
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 4: That is like Jason said, like one hundred and sixty issues.

513
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 4: You can just dive in there and go on a journey,

514
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 4: like a decade long class journey, and you'll be in

515
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 4: a really good space to understand Miles and where he

516
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 4: comes from. And then the best thing about comics, there

517
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 4: are other great Miles stories told by people more like

518
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 4: Miles now, so you kind of get to see the

519
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 4: evolution of that character. That's so cool.

520
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: One more round of entry arcs for new readers, and

521
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: then we'll go to some of our favorite art and

522
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: trade zig Uh.

523
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 3: You know what, I think I've tapped out my Marvel

524
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 3: like I got I'll shout out for Hawkeye, Fractured Idges,

525
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 3: Hawkeye just because Hawkeye is dropping. It's fantasic, fantastic art,

526
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 3: really really funny, great stuff. But for another non DC,

527
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 3: non Marvel, Kirkman's Invincible, much like like Ultimate spider Man

528
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 3: Businesses spider Man is also I think it's like one

529
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty something issues like that. I truthfully, I

530
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 3: just re read them all, like not too long ago

531
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 3: when an Invincible TV show came out, so like it's

532
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 3: a nice modern take on on like this Peter Parker

533
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 3: story subbed in for like little mix of Peter park

534
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 3: a little mix of Spider Man or of Superman. Yeah,

535
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 3: and beautiful art Ryan Yes, just artist fantastic, Like the

536
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 3: the way that they also sort of have a running

537
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 3: theme of their jokes where they'll just have love repeated

538
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 3: panels like I love that, Like I I steal that

539
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 3: from my own work because I think it's very fun. Also,

540
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 3: it's very economic if you're trying to.

541
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 4: Get a story fun, because it's a really met a

542
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 4: joke where it's like it's partially done because of economy,

543
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 4: but it's also sometimes done as the joke of you

544
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 4: thinking it's economy, so you're like it's cheaper to just

545
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 4: and quicker to just. So it's like a comic about

546
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 4: making comics as well, which is really fun.

547
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: It's really fun. I really recommend it. It's great seeing

548
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 3: an anyhow, any comic like that that has also sort

549
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 3: of broken too the barrier, not unlike Spawn or Boy.

550
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 3: And it's also just getting a nice fresh take like

551
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 3: most of the comic calls up, there's some stuff that

552
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 3: is like, oh boy, this was obviously not written in

553
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: this point, but it's it's still still really really fun

554
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 3: read and highly recommend. If you're going to get like

555
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,719
Speaker 3: a new sort of span on like the Spider Man,

556
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 3: Superman Lore, the fresh fresh eyes.

557
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going to go for something that's like a

558
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 4: farm more out there. But if you if you grew

559
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 4: up on like a Calvin and Hobbes or you like

560
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 4: strip cartooning that kind of stuff, but you also like

561
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 4: too There's this unbelievable book from twenty fifteen called Super

562
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 4: Mutant Magic Academy, which is by Jillian Tamaki, who's the

563
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 4: most incredible cartoonist, and it's basically it's a series of

564
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 4: one or two comics that are interlinked about a group

565
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 4: of kids at like a magic school, and it's kind

566
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 4: of Harry Potter meets Xaviers, but it's super funny, and

567
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 4: it can go kind of like Kellyn's. It can go

568
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 4: from these really humorous panels about like teenage weirdness to

569
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 4: a character who he's just he never dies and it's

570
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 4: like this existential nightmare throughout the comic. And that is

571
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 4: like one. The book is beautiful. It's like this big, chunky,

572
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 4: square book and that you can get that in most

573
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 4: local comic book shops at your library. Libraries love that

574
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 4: book and it is just so much fun and it's

575
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 4: really kind of weird and smart and silly and totally independent.

576
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 4: And I think that is just a really cool space

577
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,479
Speaker 4: if you want to start dipping your toes into more

578
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 4: kind of like experimental cartooning or indie comics. And Jillian

579
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 4: has done a bunch of amazing books, including this one

580
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 4: Summer with Marico Tomki. So there's just it's a great

581
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,719
Speaker 4: place to start. But it is so fun, especially if

582
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 4: you like X Men, You'll just be living life because

583
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 4: it is like it's like the funniest, weirdest X Men parody.

584
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,239
Speaker 2: I will I'm putting that on my list right now.

585
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 4: It's so good. It's like, I will go to the

586
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 4: book is beautiful, Like if you love to have a

587
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 4: nice book on your shelves, just go and buy it.

588
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 4: It's like it's so good, it's so so good.

589
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 3: I'm literally buying it right now.

590
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: Jillians, I love so to jump in and learn about stuff.

591
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: I am going to pick.

592
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: You know, early two thousand's Marvel was kind of like

593
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: defined by certain creators. I think Brian Michael Bendas is

594
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: probably the big one, And so I'm going to say

595
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: Avengers Disassembled into which is like a self contained arc.

596
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: You can get it as a trade into. Brian Michael

597
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: Bendis with David Fintion and Steve Mcnivin's new Avengers run,

598
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: which is so the Avengers have broken up, one of

599
00:30:49,720 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: the many many many make the country. But it's so

600
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: The great thing about Avengers Disassembled is you you read

601
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: it great art, and you feel like, wow, this is

602
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: this is this is it.

603
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 2: The Avengers are no more. I can't believe it.

604
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: There's like people holding up candles outside the Avengers mansion.

605
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: This is this is first, this is a cataclysm.

606
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, it's like the Avengers.

607
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 3: Have broken up like a dozen times.

608
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: Don't worry, don't worry about it. But running into new Avengers,

609
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: you get this. You get a new team as Earth's

610
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: mightiest heroes try and figure it out. They don't have

611
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: the kind of financial backing of Tony Stark anymore. It's

612
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: gonna look more rough and ready.

613
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 3: Uh.

614
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: And it's a really cool mix of characters including you know, Wolverine,

615
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: Captain Marvel, you know Clint Barton in the Ronan costume

616
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: for some reason. But it's super fun and it threads

617
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: through a lot of the big events that happened during

618
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: that era, Civil War, siege, etc. And so you get

619
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: like this kind of smattering of big events and it

620
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: takes you basically up to the stuff that's happening now

Speaker 1: as a launch Pad, really fun run with you know,

Speaker 1: bend to see a lot of words coming at you,

624
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: but in a great way. So check it out. Let's

625
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: go to our favorite graphic novels and or comic runs.

626
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: Usually these runs are going to be contained in trades

627
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: that are easy for people to pick up.

628
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 2: So let's start with Musig What do you got.

629
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 3: I'm going to go with a truly indie indie book

630
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 3: as a series called Very Near Mint by Justin Peterson.

631
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 3: I think think I found it when I was in

632
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 3: art school. Uh. He had like a random Kickstarter. I

633
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 3: was like, it's basically Clerks in a comic book shop.

634
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 3: Was like I got to read this, uh and and

635
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 3: and it's great. It's super super funny. It has that

636
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 3: indie spirits like it's a it's a black and white comic.

637
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 3: And my first one to one with that is with

638
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 3: Clerks because it was also, yeah, they couldn't afford to

639
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 3: pay for color films, so they did it black and white.

640
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 3: It's super super funny. Justin has got a very funny

641
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 3: sense of style. I love his art. I love anything

642
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 3: that that that that that sticks the landing on being

643
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 3: a piece of indie art made for a very beach audience,

644
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 3: which is comic book fans, but then also combook fans

645
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 3: that are aware of how other combook fans actually and

646
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 3: and like.

647
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 4: How comic shops work, and like that kind of interior,

648
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 4: the kind of stuff that we talk about between off friends,

649
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 4: like and ann your local shop and stuff that's really

650
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 4: hard to capture.

651
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I I I think you can. I know that

652
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 3: you can buy I think it might be mostly out

653
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,479
Speaker 3: of print, but you can buy a PDF of it

654
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 3: from Justin's website. I think it's probably like volume one

655
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 3: maybe on Amazon or something like that. But I highly

656
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 3: recommend I looking for something that's like a little bit

657
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 3: off the beaten path, and also if looking for like

658
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 3: as flat out comedy graphic novel series very near man.

659
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 3: I think there's three volumes out and I think you

660
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 3: may have done a couple like shorts and stuff too.

661
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 3: High recommend that if you can find it, really really

662
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 3: great series. And also it's a nice just a different take,

663
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 3: and I think on what a lot of people think

664
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 3: comics of being like capes in superheroes.

665
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, mine, I'm going to go for another black

666
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 4: and white comic too, and this is We've been talking

667
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 4: a lot about these arcs that you can just jump

668
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 4: into and have like four years. So mine is Love

669
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 4: and Rockets by the Hernandez put Yeah, I love them

670
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 4: so much. This is like the ultimate indie comic. It's

671
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 4: been going on for decades now. And the cool thing

672
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 4: is it's if you want, it's very easy to collect

673
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 4: the first like fifty issues of magazine size. It's really

674
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 4: fun thing to collect. But Fantagraphics has a ton of

675
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,439
Speaker 4: really cool story collections where they collect together arcs about

676
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 4: different characters because it's kind of nonlinear in that way.

677
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 4: But there's two major aspects of the story. There's the

678
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 4: Maggie and Hopie, who are two friends slash on time

679
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 4: like lovers on and off, and they're in the punk

680
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 4: scene in La the Mexican punk scene in La in

681
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 4: the kind of seventies eighties, and they grow up real time,

682
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 4: so now they have grown up as you read the book.

683
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 4: And then there's a Palomar, which is kind of this

684
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 4: small town and the lives of people who live there

685
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 4: and they are just like this is some of the

686
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 4: best cartooning I have, Like multiple Love and Rocket status,

687
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 4: the Henandez Bros.

688
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 3: Are La Edges.

689
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 4: You can go to any convention, Yere and Hi May

690
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 4: Will and Gilbert will just be their chilling sign in.

691
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 4: Like I almost died the first time the first time

692
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 4: I went to Comic On. They were at the fanographics

693
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 4: table and Grant Morrison was at the heavy metal table,

694
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 4: and I was like, what the fuck is this? What? What?

695
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 4: This is? What you guys get at San Diego? You

696
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 4: can just go and and yeah, they're really great if

697

700
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 4: stuff Maggie the Mechanic that's very sci fi, very influential

701
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 4: on like Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, stuff like that. And I

702
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 4: just I cannot sing the praises of that book enough.

703
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 4: And it's the kind again kind of book you can

704
00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 4: give to anyone.

705
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 3: This this is just tangerous with that. But have you

706
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,240

712
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think it's like it's like thirty five

713
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 4: dollars or something from panographics. I thought it was gonna

714
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 4: be like one hundred and fifty dollars art book. But

715
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,200

751
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 3: gotta do. Scott Pilgrim.

752
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:21,480

00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,479
Speaker 3: Marvel comics that I read or graphic novels that I read.

755
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 3: I also was like a little punk shithead when I

756
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 3: was in when I was younger, so like I could

757
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 3: very much relates. I was very much. Oh yeah, I've

758
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 3: played at those type of shows and met those type

759
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 3: of people. Like it very much captured what I what

760
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 3: I thought my twenties was being in like a shitty,

761
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 3: shitty band. Scott does not hold up too much.

762
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,960

Speaker 3: should have been the hero of this. Yeah, but it's great,

766
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,680

775
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 4: like so iconic, the book is really great because it

776
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 4: just expands. It's so similar, but it just you get

777
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 4: more time with Kim, you get more time with Ramony,

778
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 4: you get more time with Knives obviously Justice for Knives

779
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 4: like the best character. Like I just I love Scott Pilgrim.

780
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 4: I'm so stoked you picked that because that is like

781
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 4: I love Brianley, O'Malley. I love Seconds as well. It's

782
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 4: like one of my favorite books. But Scott Pilgrim is

783
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 4: that's another great give it to anyone.

784
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, anyone can get it, especially now that

785
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 3: like people are into these things now it's not just

786
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 3: niche as being like, oh I'm into video games, but

787
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 3: also you know music and all that stuff, like everyone's

788
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 3: doing that. Yeah, it's great. It's a really fun easy

789
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 3: into that. And also you can see like like like

790
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 3: like like she said, you can get a bigger expansion

791
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 3: like what was sort of pair down from the film

792
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 3: that I think, you know, eggar Wright knocked out of

793
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 3: the park. I could really captured the spirit of pokem

794
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 3: books as well.

795
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, well we did a lot of like manga influence.

796
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 4: So I'm going to do I got three manga books

797
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 4: on my list. Okay, so I'm gonna go for the

798
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 4: classic because we're doing kind of good in way, So

799
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go for Kira by Cats Heiro Tomu at Tomo.

800
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,919
Speaker 4: It's like one of the best comics ever made. It's

801
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 4: super easy to read because they have these huge telephone

802
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 4: book sized collections that you can get any comic shop.

803
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 4: It is a dystopian, sprawling sci fi masterpiece. If you've

804
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 4: seen the movie, that's literally like one book, if not

805
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 4: a little bit less than one book. So there's a

806
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 4: lot to deep dive into. One of the most influential

807
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 4: aesthetic of all time, movie and book. The art is

808
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 4: so dense and incredible, and you could look at those

809
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 4: I've got the full set that Dark Horse did with

810
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 4: all of the books. You can look at them for days.

811
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 3: I hate so much going on, what's going on?

812
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 4: And and you can literally if you commit to it

813
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 4: and you buy those collections, you could enjoy that for years.

814
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 4: Like you can read one, you can take it in

815
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 4: and then you can take a break and you can

816
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 4: read another one, and like it is just so good

817
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 4: and it is obviously always just go back and watch

818
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 4: a Carror as well. It's like one of the best

819
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 4: movies ever made. But that is such a great place

820
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 4: if you want to get into. I wouldn't say, like, oh,

821
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 4: read that if you just want to get into manga,

822
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 4: because you could probably read like Bleach or or a

823
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 4: Ramd Mahalf or anything that's a bit more accessible. But

824
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 4: if you want to get something, you can just totally

825
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 4: lose yourself in and read one of the most like

826
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 4: influential sci fi a different tier.

827
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 3: It's a different tier of like yeah, of of a

828
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 3: book that you're reading. When it comes to that, it's

829
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 3: not just like dragon Balls your Hunter Hunter, it's like, oh,

830
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 3: this is yeah.

831
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 4: You know what's gonna happen. They get have some sick fight,

832
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 4: like go and find some gems, like yeah.

833
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 3: Maybe there's a monkey that has any exactly.

834
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 4: But the other thing about a Curreror as well is

835
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 4: I think if you are an American comics reader or

836
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 4: even just a fan of American sci fi movies, and

837
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 4: that is a book where you will read it and

838
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 4: you'll be like, oh, I see that's where they got

839
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 4: that from. Like yeah, even and if you love like

840
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 4: an artist, like I know me and Jason talking about

841
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 4: a lot, but like our Adams is such an incredible artist.

842
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 4: There's a lot of similarities. They're they're dense, like beautiful,

843
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 4: intricate in depth work that you can just look at

844
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 4: for hours. So Akira is always Oh and you know

845
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 4: what else, I actually do love that, I always do shout.

846
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 4: Marvel did a really weird thing in the nineties where

847
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 4: they put a ton of money and got mobius like

848
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 4: the icon, and they bought everyone in to make these

849
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 4: for Epic, their imprint Epic. They made these colored reprints

850
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 4: of Akira single issues, and so they changed the direction,

851
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 4: which I never agree with, but they made it. Basically,

852
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 4: they spent the time and effort to take this Japanese

853
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 4: comic and translate it in a way that they would

854
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 4: hope would make it accessible for American readers. But if

855
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 4: you can get your hands on that, the colored art

856
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 4: is so cool and it was all done like Catsira

857
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 4: was involved to an extent. I have I have actually

858
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,959
Speaker 4: had got that whole collection of the single issues because

859
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 4: it's just so cool to look at. So any version

860
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 4: of a Kira you can pick up American reprint single

861
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 4: issue versions, you can pick up those big dark Horse

862
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 4: telephone books, which are probably also at your library at

863
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,319

Speaker 3: art is amazing, her storytelling is amazing. It makes me

918
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 3: jealous reading this stuff. Uh So, she's a Japanese artist.

919
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 3: She has a series called Demon Days, which is we've talked,

920
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 3: we've touched on like other manga and like inspiration like

921
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 3: you know, mangan and in American comic books. This is

922
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 3: a great, a great amalgamation of those two art style,

923
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 3: beautiful watercolor paintings that are retelling classic Marvel heroes in

924
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 3: the style of like a Japanese folklore. So their only

925
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 3: their demons, like there will be a you know, instead

926
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 3: of Thor being the god of thunder, he is like

927
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,240
Speaker 3: a thunder demon. He carries like little little little storm

928
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 3: on her shoulder. Fantastic art. I think there's like it

929
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 3: gonna be six or seven books in the next one.

930
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 4: Storm, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, not wait for that, Like

931
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 4: they're so Peach is so good? How are you? Probably

932
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 4: if you haven't read her like Demon Days, you've definitely

933
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 4: seen her covers. She is like the comics cover artists

934
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 4: right now. Like the way that she has inspired fans

935
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 4: to be caring about comics covers is just it's like

936
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,879
Speaker 4: Tom mcfalland and Greg Coppolo in the nineties, like, these

937
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 4: are the covers people want to have, Like, yes, she's incredible.

938
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 3: Have you ever been in a coup Bok shop and

939
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 3: you start to like, what the fuck is that? She's

940
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 3: probably Yeah, she's the one who drew that. He's the

941
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 3: one that made you start. But I got it. I've

942
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 3: never read this comic, but I've picked up because the

943
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:31,919
Speaker 3: cover is so cool.

944
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 4: One hundred percent she she is that. I'm sure when

945
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 4: I worked in a shop, everything was like it was

946
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 4: a Scotty Young cover and everyone would bring it, like

947
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 4: ninety percent of people would bring it back if it

948
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 4: wasn't in their pulse and be like, why doesn't the

949
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 4: inside look like that? I am sure that Peach is

950
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 4: the curse of shop. I'm sure people pick up like

951
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 4: and then they're like, wait, why doesn't the inside? But

952
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 4: don't worry. Read Demon Days.

953
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 3: They'll give you everything. It's a great high recommend, fun

954
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 3: new from a from an artist writer that's killing the

955
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 3: game right now.

956
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 4: Demon Days Enough, Yeah, Rosie, So I'm going to go

957
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 4: with there's this Viz has been doing the because you

958
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 4: talked about Demon Days. It just inspired me. Vis has

959
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 4: been doing these unbelievable manga re releases. So they just

960
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 4: did a fist of the North Star.

961
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 3: Oh, let's go.

962
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 4: It's so good. The cover, it's like the version you

963
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 4: always wanted. It's got like a it's like a matte,

964
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 4: blood splatters on the frog. And they also have been

965
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 4: reprinting Lam and mazony Kuku by Ramiko Takahashi. Who I

966
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 4: feel who is an icon made in a Yasha ramahalf

967
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 4: all the manga and anime you loved as a teenager.

968
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 4: And I just had to bring that up because one,

969
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 4: the copies are so stunning. If you are someone who

970
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 4: loves a nice book on your shelf, you got to

971
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 4: go to those reprints. And two, when I read Demon Days,

972
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 4: I was like, this is like Remiko Takahashi doing Marvel

973
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 4: Like it's that make sure of folklore, cute faces, like

974
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 4: iconic characters, designs. So those and the kind of continued

975
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 4: re releases that Vis are doing of these kind of

976
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 4: classic mangas is something I just can't get enough.

977
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 2: Of at the moment. That is great.

978
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: Gonna pick gosh, I'm gonna pick The Department of Truth

979
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: by James Timmyan and Martin Simmons. It is a I

980
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 1: don't know how this is gonna turn out, like, maybe

981
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: they don't stick the landing. But I'll just say this

982
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: as an ongoing book that is in the zeitgeist right

983
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 1: now because it is about conspiracies and what if conspiracies

984
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: are real and how do you deal with that? And

985
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 1: what is truth? It is a very paranoid and very

986
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: creative book. It's on image the art. I would describe

987
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: it as like Bill Sankowitz, like the in his like

988
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 1: most darkest tendencies. It is twisted and always interesting to

989
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: look at.

990
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 2: It can be a little naughty.

991
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: And confusing, but it feels like that's by design. And

992
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: again I hope they stick the landing. But it is

993
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: a crazy book currently an image something I really like. Okay,

994
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: one more for for both, for all of us, and

995
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: then we'll move on.

996
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,720
Speaker 3: You know. I almost keep in the vein of indie comics.

997
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 3: There's a new comic series called The Antagonist by Godhead

998
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 3: Comics or a Black owned Black Runner Black Ran Studio

999
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,479
Speaker 3: out of out of Atlanta. I believe. I think there's

1000
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 3: only three issues out for The Antagonists. There's another four

1001
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 3: that they're kickstarting at the moment, but that got on

1002
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 3: my radar just through Twitter. I found their kickstarter. I

1003
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,479
Speaker 3: supported them, and it's a fun book. You know, It's

1004
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 3: just you can tell from the name that's from the

1005
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,839
Speaker 3: point of view of what would be General Zodd, their

1006
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 3: version of like a black General Zod and like his wife,

1007
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 3: and there's sort of a dismantling you know, a racist nation,

1008
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 3: capitalist nation. And it's just been an interesting point of

1009
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 3: view and like what I think, you know, every I

1010
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 3: think we've seen a lot of like what if Superman

1011
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 3: was bad? Like what if the bad guys ran the country?

1012
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 3: And it's interesting seeing that just from a point of

1013
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 3: view from you know, the thing built on something that's

1014
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 3: I think a lookit more tangible and grounded, like you

1015
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 3: soruld relate sort of like how you can relate to

1016
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 3: Killmonger a lot in the Black Panther movie. That can

1017
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 3: relate to these characters a lot in this series. I

1018
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 3: highly recommend support you know, some some new upcoming artists

1019
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 3: and comic companies that are independent also you know, ran

1020
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 3: by some people of color.

1021
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 4: Yeahs, I'm going to go. So this is going back

1022
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,280
Speaker 4: to a big two DC again, but it does include

1023
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 4: some really really incredible cartoonists of So basically DC is

1039
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,520

1040
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 4: of opening up and blowing up who can be an Amazon?

1041
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,640

Speaker 1: Like it is nice and far into it like May,

1077
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,319

Speaker 1: is to compete in Mario Now this is a real

1087
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 1: quote unquote real life Mario Kart, So like Mario Kart

1088
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 1: with an actual vehicle, in the reality of the of

1089
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:11,280
Speaker 1: the adventure that we are taking.

1090
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,080

1091
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,400

1093
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 1: real life Mario Kart? What character from any comic book, franchise, company, whatever.

1094
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 3: My first draft picked will be a one Kate Bishop

1095
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 3: aka Hawkeye. I think if you're in a game of

1096
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 3: Mario Kart, think you give a Mario card, you need

1097
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 3: someone the accuracy, the dexterity. I think Michael Cake can

1098
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 3: hold it down. Get her any honestly, any turtleshell becomes

1099
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:44,760
Speaker 3: a red turtle shell in the hands and exprest archer.

1100
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,880
