Alright, let's get on with the show. Weeding down upon the underworld to smash gangland, come a friend of the unfortunate enemy of criminal. In mysterious, all powerful characters are problems to the police, but a good state of law. Hey, welcome to Authoracam's Sal.
I'm Tiffany. So it's been a while, welcome to the show. If you're not familiar with the show, this is a comic book review show that we do, we're trying to do every week, where we take the books from the past week, and then we recap and review them and tell you what we thought about them, and then we recommend books that come out this week that we think you should pick up. Normally, that's how it works.
Lately, we've been kind of like all over the place. I took a trip out to Denver Comic-Con or Pop CultureCon. It's not all about comics. Identical to every con.
So, you know... But with more pop culture. No, just the same exact thing. More pop, because you were there.
That's right. It was, it was popped up, because I was there. And I even got on the website. It was a lot of fun.
Hopefully, if you're watching the show and you saw me, hello, great to see you. So because of the trip, I wasn't able to do this. We were just still busy. I had a lot of backlog of stuff editing, because it's, you know, it's a joint effort, but I'm the one that edits most of the things.
Unless you're watching the Letters page, another show that we do, where we open up packages and letters from the audience. It's you guys, tip it against the show now without two in a row that you've edited. Woo! Yeah, and they're really fun.
I'm so low. You infuse a level of like enthusiasm and exuberance that I am just incapable of doing at this point. So I'm glad that you're taking up the reins. Thanks.
It's infused new life in the show that I otherwise wouldn't be able to produce. Right. So I'm glad that that that's happening. So, what we do here on the show is look at, we're going to talk about each book.
We're also going to be encouraging you guys out there to hang out with us and chat with us. How are you going to be able to do that? I mean, the chat's going a mile a minute, and it's not really, but like the reality is sometimes when the conversation is going really does. And part of encouragement that we try to give you for that is, these are super chats.
The super chats are a great way for us to support ourselves. That's exactly what it is. That's how it works. And the reality is like, as you can see here, behind us, like we have Studio Now, it's primarily supported entirely thanks to you through Super chats and Patreon, which of course you can visit by go to patreon.com.com.
And that seems right for you. We got a lot of rewards and updates behind the scenes access and early access to back issues. We just shot four episodes, pretty much in a row. I've got two out of five cuts ready to go.
Wow. I'm really excited. And I actually have to shoot one and get that out between those because one of them has to be Spider-Man episode. That's right.
Oddly enough, I don't have a Spider-Man episode ready to go as I normally do. Oh. We do have an actual Spider-Man episode because I did a family business. Yeah.
Wild back. You actually were on it. It was you me and I believe then. Yeah.
And we did that for Comic Story, but they enlisted the video and it's no longer really part of the comic story family. So I did a little bit of creative editing. I gave it the old, like, gave it a little spit polish, gave it the new intro we use. And so that episode will be re-uploaded to our channel.
At some point. At some point. At some point. Yeah.
But I feel like it's a good idea to probably do a new episode rather than a re-hashboard. Yeah. But I'm really thrilled to bring that episode back to the comic family because a lot of people are asking like, the sticklers, people who like comic books. What about the numbering?
How many episodes of the backages are there? You know? There's a secret one. This is secret.
Exactly. So we're gonna talk about books that came out this week. We're also gonna talk about books that came out last week. We missed last week's episode.
Yes. We are gonna talk about last minute Earth. We are gonna talk about Do-Stack-Lock. Yes.
But we're gonna hang on to those. Let's jump into some books that came out this week. Okay. So you wanna start off with your talk about Savage Avengers?
Let's do it. Savage Avengers number two, which is written by Jerry Duggan with Art by Mike Deo-Dotto Jr. I believe Deo-Dotto swan songs is him leaving the book. Or Marvel entirely.
They have always leaving Marvel. Wow. And I think comics, I think he's retiring. Oh, okay.
He's gonna leave off on Savage Avengers. Why not? I wanna draw Conan. Yep.
And indeed he does, as you can see, Conan is happening. Yeah. Timmy, you wanna take the reins on this one? Yeah, right.
I mean, if you're not familiar with the Savage Avengers, there's nothing to the Avengers at all. They're simply using the brand that people know that Marvel has. Yeah. And basically saying, here's a bunch of characters that have no problem murdering people.
No. All in one room. Right, but it's also double-edged sword in a way or it's a dual meaning because they're in the Savage Land. Yeah.
So they're Savage individuals in the Savage Land, presumably where they belong, I guess. But this book talks a little bit about the Savage Land itself. How it's like a mythology to it almost like the Green of a triangle. Yes.
You know, people have gone down over the Savage Land. We see World War II, I'd say, Fire Pilot. A German. And his plane hits a pterodactyl.
Right. That happens sometimes. Sometimes you just hit pterodactyls, at least over the Savage Land. And he lands in the Savage Land and spends some time there just killing dinosaurs and trying to stay alive.
He finds a city, the ruins of a city where he runs into Colin Gough, who is the sorcerer. Now, what's up with Colin Gough? I looked at him up a little bit. He's not like a hidden secret Marvel character.
Colin Gough is a Conan character. Yeah, which is a Marvel character. Well, yeah, because Conan was a Marvel for a while. Yeah, no, he is a Conan sorcerer.
Who's here attempting to use Blood to raise the Blood God? It happens a lot in Conan. There's like things that happen in Conan. It's like one, snakes, two, Conan's going to climb a wall.
And I guess three, there's going to be Blood. Oh, natural. And like, some sort of sorcery attached to Dead Blood. Yes, Paul Anderson's film, there will be Blood, almost featured Conan.
It's true. It's true. Because you could not help it. But you know, Schwarzenegger was busy at the time.
He was trying to jump into that role. He was the governor, I believe, when they were working on that. So they went a different way with it. It was a weird interpretation.
Somewhere, another multi-verse, that would be exist. Yeah. But, you know, basically, this dude's like always looking for people to serve him and to be able to do mean nasty, and to serve Red Skull. So he's like, right on.
Cool. Okay. You're part of the organization now, my man. So we check in with the current day, current day.
Yeah, what happened last time? It's been a while. Yes. So they've been collecting the blood of important people, but also those who would spill blood.
It's kind of like it's a bag of things that are needed. Yes. Those are musicians and scientists and researchers, doctors, just the best of the best. People are really good at what they do.
Yes. And so actually, Wolverine. Right. He's the best.
And what he does. But they collected Brother Voodoo. He's the second best at what he does. He's the best at being Brother Voodoo.
That's true. And his throat was slit. Wolverine didn't get there in time. He couldn't stop him.
No. So instead Wolverine goes after the source of his air. I believe that's the German guy. And he doesn't get a chance to kill him before the guy poocs away.
And Wolverine's like, okay, hang on. I'm going to try something. We're going to make up something. Yeah, we're going to make up something.
It's really weird. It's going to be great, he's magic. It's going to be fine. So Wolverine's like, here we go.
I'm going to open up my own like wound here. So I can bleed. And then I'm going to use my clause and open up Brother Voodoo's chest. I'm gonna grab his heart and like drip blood into it.
Well first guy tries to massage it. I guess to bring it back I suppose they just pours his own blood on he's like let's see if that works I can't believe that they got away with that not because it's so great worry more because it's so stupid Yeah, and then he tries to massage it now It's the actual heart massaging thing is a thing that doctors can do. Yes The massage the heart is above his chest cavity. Yeah, how's he gonna put it away?
It's like I don't understand like he opens it up and I guess he takes it out ever so slightly it is so Ridiculous it is really ridiculous with a book that takes place in an arctic sanctuary full of dinosaurs idea Wolverine cutting open a dead man's chest Sorcerer's chest a man though. Yeah, but I'm just saying like you have the ridiculous But like no, yes, just no No, if you wanted to reverse that like brother like brother voodoo needed to save Wolverine It could open his heart me like any port like a magical elixir on it and massage it because then it will break it rehealed Yeah, well clearly well that's that's what happens though Is that Wolverine puts his blood into his body never heard before like brother voodoo's body like accepts it and it takes on the healing factor And he'll someone it's right I've never heard even though Wolverine's like oh, sorry man didn't work out anyway I run hand injuries and he runs off to go kill some he does indeed Yeah, he just leaves meanwhile Coney has still like sculking around He's totally looking for his prize his treasure and like what is Coney running to snakes just a little snakes Yeah, because it's going and like Conan just begat snakes Well, you know, it's the most recognizable of like evil levels that Conan faces Well, I was gonna say that was recognizable of like evil like symbolism like the snake right so he comes across Colin goth And he's asleep and he has the necklace that Conan does what he wants to take so Coney goes to take it the guy wakes up like Dude, we do you just gonna take that for me? No, no, I don't think so So then like he basically like grabs Conan's face just like he does the German guy in the beginning He's able to see his history and he sees that oh your Conan you were born on the battlefield I mean like at the image of like clearly like what looks like Conan's grandpa and his dad Yeah, like killing some dudes whilst Conan is being born to his like now dead mother, right? So then like Conan's like screw you wizard.
Yeah, like is like basically the guys like oh, you're gonna You're gonna be a British to the bowl like I'm gonna bleed you. Yeah, you're the guy who's gonna kill Conan But he tried you're not the dude who's doing it. Yeah, no that had certainly not with that had um so Conan grabs a jar nearby And he smashes it into his face and Conan's like I hate to like release a genie like this but whatever He's Conan ha ha ha ha ha. Yeah.
Yeah. My god. Is it our venom is it a symbiote? Like what is that cuz he mentioned makes a reference to the fact that like it's old Though he's had it for a while.
Yeah, but we don't know when this is taking place. No, we don't Where's Brock what's happened? It's very specific like in the way that it looks they don't make it any other color So like I think it is that I think it has to be meant to think that it is certainly we did see him earlier now He's in a job. Yeah, he was in a cage.
I remember being in like a bird case So I do maybe we'll run into the post at some point. Like maybe he's able to separate them and that's why he's now in the jar. Right, yeah. Because I guess it's a magic jar.
It has to. I feel like if Venom's one big weakness other than sound and fire, it's a jar. Right. I think he just can't get those mayonnaise jars open.
So then remember before what I mentioned, I mentioned that there's going to be blood. We talked about that. We talked about snakes and then Conan has to make his daring escape with the necklace, which they need to complete the ceremony. But what does Conan do to do that?
He climbs on a wall. He just hangs on the outside. Yeah, you have an interesting theory about this. Conan just loves to hang on walls.
Like in the books that I've been reading, he's done this several times. Yeah, Conan just does that in the movies as well. Like that's what Conan does. He climbs.
He's got a lot of upper body strength. Yeah, that's like his superpower. He has really strong fingers. Right.
Yeah, because he doesn't just climb it. He like digs his hands into the ground. Exactly. He's checking with Wolverine, who's looking awesome.
He looks great. He's looking good. You know, this is a nice look for him. I agree.
Clearly the hand I've been trying everything and he's just like really that's all you got. Yeah. You're like, okay. All right.
So that's how brother Voodoo shows up. He's like, hey, I'm cool. I'm back and fine. And that's about the time that like Cullen shows up and he's just like, okay, well, you guys, the hand, I really thought you were going to like be able to actually do this, but you're not doing so hot right now.
But anyway, no one's coming to save you two. So I'm going to take Wolverine and brother Voodoo and I'm totally going to, I'm going to bleed them instead. You're going to bleed Wolverine. First of all, Wolverine's bleeding all over the floor.
I guess they did that. So they can establish that Wolverine's blood is important and probably going to like mess up or improve the ceremony. That could be. Cause like we need to establish that Wolverine's blood is healing properties.
I'm sure it has something to do with the blood. There's a lot of blood. Yeah. Wolverine bleeding himself to heal brother Voodoo and needed to be a sequence so that he can like, it can be the lynch band of whatever they're going to do.
Yeah, exactly. Um, so by the way, they, um, so they say that like this symbiote is crazy. Yeah. Is it riot?
Oh, maybe. I mean, that's why it looks like Venom. I would activate. That'd be kind of cool.
Yeah. We don't get any clue. I don't know if he's a live or dead. The symbiote.
I'm guessing it might be dead. I think it's fine. Conantia. Don't do anything with riot anyway.
Where's for me. Exactly. And then like literally like the Punisher shows up. He's confused and like one of the hand kicks him in the back of the head and like it's just like, wow, really?
Was that easy to take on the Punisher? Yeah. And then like he kind of laughs and they look down and Frank has a mine on his back with the like front toward enemy facing up towards the hand and he sets it off and like just yells where's my family? Because they pull the old like Punisher deal where they stole his family last issue.
Exactly. Exactly. So he's after his family. Yep.
And he's there. So everybody has based other than brother Voodoo and Wolverine, everybody's kind of doing their own thing right now. Yeah. I mean like we still have it for the team.
Right. Wolverine and Conant kind of met up briefly. And honestly Frank right now he's kind of a loose cannon. Yeah.
No, it's true. So I'm it's silly and like honestly that hard thing also I was like I really shouldn't be pulled out of a book like this because this book I already have accepted is big over the top and ridiculous. Yep. But for some reason that sequence is just so over the top where I'm just like no.
Yeah. You could have done anything else that was probably more clever than this. Right. And the book is like no, not just fair is the issue because like this series is neat and I think it's cool and it's same guy that's doing savage sort of conant and makes sense that it'll be connected in some way.
It would be like at least thematically similar. But like that sucks. Yeah. No, whatever it's fine.
Like I'll give it a pass. I don't normally. I don't know. I have no stake in this book.
I do want to wait and see if you're correct if this like that was the setup for something I'll pay off later on. It's so fine. It's a little like again like over the head but we'll see. Right.
Let's have it as a super chat because a lot of amazing people who want to contribute and talk about stuff. Josh Castro for example love you guys. The new bad issues was great. Thank you very much.
We do this flagship show back issues but we decided I screw it. Let's stick Batman on his own show because it always like does pretty okay and why not like have Batman on his own show. Make some room for other characters. Yeah.
So that issue came out this Monday this morning and it's a dark night returns the last crusade. Yeah. It's a bad. Did not even realize that book had come out which I know it's a lot in the comments people did not realize because it kind of got swallowed up in between other faces.
It did indeed. But it's a great episode and a really fun conversation. Yeah. I was not expecting the lengthy conversation we have but it was great.
Me too. I agree with you anyway. I just think it says I can't stay too long but take my money. P.S.
I love the channel. Thank you. I really appreciate it. Don't mind if we do.
Thank you for hanging out with us as long as you could. Yes. TV says much love to you. What are your guilty pleasure books?
No, it's fine. Guilty pleasure book. I don't know. I don't think I have one.
I like what I like and the things that I don't. I just don't read it. I just straight up don't. My guilty pleasure books happen to normally be books from the 90s that I can get in a dollar bin.
I reread this book. I don't know what that was called but it's by your man in Mysterio and it was like why did I read that? Oh really? Yeah.
That's my guilty pleasure where I will buy them even though I know it's going to be a bad time. Okay. That's fair. I don't know.
I mean, there's like I feel like there was something I recently picked up and for the life of me I can't remember what it was. But if I do I'll say so. Exactly. So give me a minute on that one.
Alright well, chronic mistake guys. Sound not sure if you saw the birthday sketch or tweet at you but happy birthday. Either way, Yamagurt was on the first. We celebrate on the 7th.
Yes. And thank you very much everybody who is here who wished me a happy birthday. I really appreciate it. Thank you for everybody who is wishing me a happy birthday right now.
We really appreciate the kindness. It's very nice. You guys are very, very humbling. I don't think I saw the sketch.
It'll remind me just to tweet me again like in that thread and I'll check it out. Alright, so thank you. Okay. Kevin Myers, the mayor says Miller's the man without fear on back issues.
Much love. Yeah, we gotta do that at some point. We do have it. That's the book I was referencing by the way in bad issues.
I meant to say a man without fear. It was the one with I said born I think I said. I said the one that Frank Miller did and I meant to say the one that money Junior did. Frank Miller did it with Masicelli.
Right. That's okay. We don't script it. Like there's so much you can do.
Jordan help us out. Thank you Jordan and Wookie drew any thoughts on RIM of the world, Rim of the world? You guys rock. I don't know.
I don't know what that is. I don't know what that is. No, so I can't have any thoughts on it. And Chris Potter helping us out.
Thank you, Chris. I really appreciate it, dude. So yeah, from there. I'm still looking for like, the stuff that I'm thinking of.
Let's talk about Justice League. Okay, go for it. I'm not, I'm not, I felt lost with that book early. Right.
Here's the thing, it's hard for me to describe Justice League because like it's so all over the place. But I really love it. And I think this is the issue that made everybody go like, oh, oh, this is the one creator that I can count on at DC right now. Okay.
It's just a great book. It's just the wrap up of the six dimension story arc which like, we find out about like the, these cosmic characters that like are all children of Perpetua and other cosmic characters that's got to be created. Sure. They unleash mixed as bit like on the world, the Legion Doom unleashes bat might to counteract mixed as bit like and that's happening.
But nobody's reading that because there's nothing happening. You see a couple of like shots of it. We a lot of fun to read, but like I wish they dealt in a little more. Okay.
But the real action is in the six dimension where like, we're seeing, we're seeing this like this utopian future that is brought about if the Justice League listens to like this world, this and the whole hitter, cosmic guy whose name is Kacie's name is Kacie's name because they all have stupid names. I look like this issue but I just, you know, I'm curious. He's a blue guy, looks like an elf, whatever, I don't care. He's not, he's a new character.
But anyway, like he wants to like unmake everything and start over. He used to hit the crisis handful with his, and the crisis handful with reboot reality. He needs Batman because Batman's at the center of everything and he stranded Superman on a distant like moon far away from the suns and Batman was like charged with having to like move the suns away from Superman because you know, Superman will find the will to survive by thinking of his family. And but you know, he knew that.
So he had Batman like move the suns out of the way. And that was the moment where we were like, oh geez. Like, okay, so if Batman, but Tracey, Superman, I'm done. Cause I don't like have anymore patience for this kind of crap.
Superman flies out in the middle of nothing. The suns move out of his way and he starts to wither away. I know he's thinking about it like he's missed opportunity. He thought about the lantern lighting ceremony they wanted to do with John.
He failed and how like, you know, the rock gets destroyed in the rain and he just said, you know, he's dwelling on despair. And as he's like starting to wither away. Well, that's very dark night returns when Superman gets it by the, exactly. Oh yeah, they want you to think of that.
The Clark basically sees these moments of despair as he's withering away. He sees like Lois mourning the death of John as she has a million times in the sixth dimension reality where like Lois is in charge of prison and stuff. You know, Batman making hard decisions about leg segment dying in the middle of like nothing else and everything. And he's just, he's letting it, he's letting it get to him.
You know, he's failing. We will Batman's been given like a suit of armor that like is powered by magic blah blah blah that's made from the yada yada that allows the who gives a crap to do whatever to reality. The point is that the suit will be infused with enough power to influence the minds of his leaguers to go along with the plan that the blue guy wants Batman to like enact. Okay.
Make everybody agree with him so that like they can do what's necessary to end the world. So it can be reborn so that like justice will prevail over doom because of the whole theme is that like Lex Luthor embraces doom and the Justice League references of justice and like Lex Luthor trying to get everybody over to him and because because doom is the only way they can like prevent themselves from being destroyed annihilated and also because like that's his new religion. Sure. The League resists Batman's like listen to me you're like I was Batman playing larger games?
Well, yes. But the League fights Batman is crazy neat, you know, bad alarm thing made of cosmic dust or whatever. Right. It's neat looking.
It's dreams and wishes. It's a less it's a Snyder book. So it's about hope and children. But it's like, hey, listen, it's cool and it's neat and it's fun and like, or game and his art is second to none.
And the dude is like a triumph. Seriously, it's just unbelievably good. Anyway, the whole thing's a double cross. Batman moved the suns out of the way to trick the blue guy.
But it turns out that like in a certain sequence Superman puts all together, of course, he's watching them appear because as he's like letting you know despair take over, he's like he's realizing that at the end of that sad memory of like letting the lantern die because of the rain the Justice League came that night and they brought their own lanterns and like, you know, created a real out of a green lantern thing. Why would they do that? What do you mean? Why would they do that?
Or they go? Why would they stop helping safety? Because they're, you know, you gotta take a minute. I mean, you know, whatever.
So why Superman wearing regular clothes and hanging out with his son because like he has to take a second to be in the family. Yeah, I see does because he made that child. Yeah, I know. You know, the Justice League of friends.
I know everything that's very convenient. Of course it is. Every Snyder event book is very convenient. Okay.
But you know, sometimes you need that. It feels good. Anyway, that gives him the hope that he realizes, you know, Superman like puts together that like he does see these sons. And they're actually in like a particular sequence.
And so he finds a little bit of a hope left and he flies towards the sons and he smashes into them and he starts to absorb the radiation and he realizes that he's smashing through them like that and then put them into a particular sequence that like allows him to hit every son on their way to the earth that like the blue guy wants earth to be. He's doing very much a video game level. Yeah, yeah, every son. You gotta hit him all.
I see friends not gonna have enough power to fight the big bad guy. That's exactly right. So he does. But he's like, you know, and so he hits them all and so Batman.
And lots of trophy is pretty cool. I mean, lots of like more strength. But you know, it's cool. So the Superman gets like supercharged and then he just like punches him really hard.
And it's in a beautiful sequence that him and his puts together. And I'm just gonna put it up on the screen because it's so friggin great. Because like Superman is powered by hope. And so we see the sequence where he's like getting his like his fist ready to go to hit this guy in the face.
We see Superman ready his fist and the fist becomes that of his father's. It's Jonathan. It's his sons and then it's his. And then they all at the same time, like all the things that give Superman hope and light the son and his father like punch this guy in the face.
That's cool. That's really cool. Beautiful sequence. Screw you, Vendous.
And he just gets sucked in the face. And he loses. And the guy's like, you understand like this is the only way that we win. You know, I've seen all these different like opportunities and ways that it can win.
And Superman's like, oh man, like you almost let me die. That made like, no, you didn't. Like I didn't make you like almost lose because like I believed in you were brothers. You know, like, oh, that's nice.
That's what I want to see. That's what I want to say. Superman, Batman being friends, you're giving me what I want. And in great looking art, I'm not gonna argue with you.
And basically Superman says like, what if you joined us? The blue guy? Yeah. He joins us, he joins us.
He joins us, he joins us. And when they get home, a big dumb event took over. Year of the villain. So they inherit that.
So if you read the Year of the villain thing, that's what happens. I didn't. Well, don't worry about it. Lex Luthor, you know, he takes over.
Sure. Well, he makes, he tells everyone that like, the whole like, lynchman of Lex Luthor's scheme is that he makes everybody like understand what happened with the Source Wall. He was like, look, just as like, look at the Source Wall break and all this shit's coming out and they lied to you. And it's like, you know, there was like the inverted evil reality that invaded Earth, right?
Yeah, you guys don't remember that. He tortured and raped to death by the Batman who laughed and whatever the hell cosmic madness will be unleashed. Like, no. So yeah, the Source Wall broke.
Half of reality won't even understand what you're talking about. You know, like, you have to dumb down superhero movies because they're not gonna understand cosmic craziness. And you're gonna try to explain them that the Source Wall broke and they're gonna lose their, they're gonna lose all of their belief in the just like as a result, like give me a break. Right.
Whatever. It's fine. Year of the villain is just like, it's a big thing. All right, we're gonna be bad guys, whatever.
So it's cool. Okay. Which is weird. It's the Year of the villain because it's also your Batman because it's the 80th.
Yeah. It's a lot of years. No, it's true. Year of the everything.
I know. Listen, like this arc was really cool. And when I reread the whole damn thing and put it together, you gotta get all the names right. You can expect it all back.
So it was the World Forager. Thank you, World Forager. There you go. There you go.
I didn't remember his name because it's not a name. What are they gonna call him? Right. Blue Guy.
Forager. Forager, that's my guess. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, that's fair. But you know, so there you have it. It's a really cool book.
I really recommend it. Right. Though now it's involved in a tie in series. It's gonna be a part of that.
It'll probably need to go on. I ate it so it's being so great. Depending. I don't know.
Yeah. I'm excited. It's gonna be really cool. This arc was great.
Him and his is amazing. I can't wait until he's tired of DC and he draws Spider-Man. Because it'll be amazing looking. Everything he does is amazing.
I'm thrilled. Really. Okay. I would say a guilty player book of mine.
Okay. But was that short miniseries? It didn't really be a year ago. A cult spirit of vengeance.
Oh yeah. Yeah. How was that? I was listening probably the only person I told the writer that.
He was like, hey you did. You want to vote it? Thank you. About all of it.
Yeah. That's right. That was great. I didn't know why.
Yeah. Kobe Tharps says, I was a seventh step in my buddy. Right on. I celebrated mine on your birthday.
That's right. That's right. I'm a birthday. Brie Larson says, why do people hate Greg Land?
Great letters, Bage. Thank you very much. I don't know if they hate Greg Land so much they like to make fun of him. Yeah.
I think it's more the fact that he traces and he keeps getting work. You don't know if he traces as much as he's just using the reference. I think it's very clear how much reference he uses and how it's flagrant. Some people just aren't a big fan.
I think it's the fact that it's why he keeps getting work when they're artists who don't do that. Yeah. Some people probably don't care for the fact that it's like I want my character to look like the character's not an actor. You know what I mean?
They're not true. It's the same thing. All of his art during Spider-Man Jason Priestley played at your parker. Yeah.
They've Tyler played Mary Jane and famously, Tommy Lee Jones played Norman? Yeah. So like I wouldn't be a fan of that either. Honestly, you know what I mean?
Like you know, I get it once an actor plays or portrays a character like that person's tied to him. Right. But in the comics is the original source material they don't have to. No.
We know what these characters look like. They can look like a person you made up. Yeah. It's okay.
Yeah. And maybe they have a striking result of somebody else. I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know. Anyway. Yeah. But Felix Nokalso or Nolosco says thanks a lot.
It helps us out. Thank you. And Bree helped us out some more. It's an amazing thing.
Apparently it's actually 6 of the series. It's old. It's tourist the galaxy, the old man. And it's cool.
The great idea. It's been a great execution so far. Yeah. So in this era last time around is it Polzar showed up, I believe?
Yes. No. Polzar? Yeah.
I read this last week. So that's a mistake right there. We shouldn't read the beforechies until the day of the show. Yeah it's Polzar showed up and like blasted the town.
They were in after like the big train all that stuff. That really messes with Peter. We see Spartax back after it was destroyed by the church Maker. And he lands on the planet and he's calling for his family and he's just like, hey, I'm here, come on guys, come on, stop hiding, come on, come on.
And he finds his daughter and he's just clutching her. And then we cut to now and he's holding a little girl who was caught up in the blast. And so he's just like, he's lost it, like he's gone. And everyone's like, come on, you gotta get with it, because Paul starts there to get quill.
He's just like, you're the guy who's gonna cause problems, I think, not. We're just gonna take you down. So like, Rockin' and one of the town's ladies who's still alive, like, takes up arms and they're all shooting at him and they're like, okay, this is clearly not working. Like, the weapons can't get through the suit.
So Traxie's an axe nearby and he's like, got this. So he like, leaps up and he hits him in the shoulder, which cuts his suit a little bit. And Traxie's like, nah, it wasn't really trying to get you, I was just a distraction. And like, a whole bunch of other people shoot at him and he flies into a building, causing it to explode.
But Mantis saves Trax and Rockin by using her telekinesis. And they're like, I didn't used to have that. She's like, me either. So Gamora's plan is to have quill be the bait.
So he like, runs through the town, like, you know, with Pulsar on his tail. And then she's like, okay, come back. And so when they come back, quill makes it through, strokes around the corner. And there is Gamora holding barbed wire.
Okay. Ideas to shred the suit. Oh, cool. So they grab the barbed wire and they use it to catch him in it.
And he's like, oh, you think that that will stop me? And then he realizes that he's not caught up in the wire and just shutting the suit off of him, basically. And he's just like, oh, like, what if I like my last breath, I'll be a beacon that will bring him to destroy you. Like my god will call him and like, bara.
And so he blasts out of there. And like, meanwhile, gladiator and his crew have killed Fing Fing Fing Foom and they're looking for quill in there. And they're like, he's not in here. Like, he didn't eat him.
He's not like gladiators. Like, he's probably not dead. The rest of it seems like he's probably dead. He sucks.
Right. And then he sees the beacon. He's just like, pretty sure Polsar is dead, but quill still alive. Yeah.
So they go off and then we check in just in the wasteland somewhere. There's a girl making graffiti or a dude, I think. Yeah. Oh, okay.
It's a dude making graffiti and it's like a vendor's assemble. Like that's what he's writing on a doombot shows up and says, hey, you don't have to do that. It's like disrespectful to do. And that's when like the Avenger shows up and it's a vision.
And she like flies through. Oh, cool. Like exploding him. She sees the beacon off.
And then we see that Polsar's like spirit energy basically is flying through space and heads back to New Zandar where the universal like church, the church of truth, I should say is like hovering and like they come out of their base there. And the matriarch's there and like, oh, like we've received word from Polsar. Like it's like his spirit. Like that would have taken a whole lot for like, wow, like what incredible like bravery.
And she's just like, I really don't care. Just give him the message. Right. And the dude's like, okay.
So the message is basically that earth is no longer protected. Okay. And so like it's time to go and take earth now. Right.
And then we see the new Zandar to like retrieve like their lord and like he off panel, you just see the speech while that says like, why have you disturbed my meal? And she's like, no, it's to tell you that like there's no one to run the ultimate nullifier and run earth and it's time. And you see that Galactus is actually the one who the church of truth is following. And so Galactus is coming.
That's awesome. And so quill is the one who has to go to the Baxter building and get the ultimate nullifier. He's the one that can use it. I was like, okay.
No, he has to just bluff. Galactic. He's crazy. Yeah, that's awesome.
So I don't know, but it is a pretty cool like he's just like, all right. Yeah, that's awesome. I'm ready. It's been a while since Galactus has visited Earth.
Yeah, I'm down. So there you go. It's literally the second book that I've read recently that had Galactus in it. Yeah, that's funny.
It's just a big, just a big, big, cool, fun thing. Very briefly, I'm just going to talk about amazing spider. Oh, do you recommend it? Oh, yeah.
I mean, I would want to jump back a little bit. You could probably figure out what's going on. No doubt. If you're doing a good job of what kind of surmising what's happening on the off change you just found this book now.
Yeah. So amazing Spiderman, The Hunted Part 6, number 22. Okay. It's written by an expenser with Art by Humberto Ramos.
Okay. So I'm going to talk about the last five other parts. Sure. I thought this was done.
It is done. This is it. I thought it was done before. No, it's not.
It is now. It's over. Okay. Craven hatches a scheme to trick Spiderman into crossing a line you would never cross because Craven of course is cursed with the, like, he's brought back to life in a previous arc.
And the only thing that can kill him is the one guy who won't kill him. So he's trying to teach Spiderman that like, the whole thing is a whole big trick to make Spiderman learn a lesson about like how sometimes he needs to kill people to like survive. Okay. So he's trying to teach his Craven the inverse of that lesson which is that like, no, it's stronger and more like warrior-like to let people live and to save people.
