• 0:30
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah.
• 0:31
  Tad Eggleston: Or should we… okay. Okay, so we don't.
• 0:32
  Tyler Johnson: We can… we could do either. We could wait for Phil, or we could talk about it.
• 0:35
  Tad Eggleston: No, no, no, we'll do it. I just wanted to make certain we didn't need to switch up the great responsibility.

  Tad Eggleston: As he and his family go through that. So our best to them.
• 1:19
  Tad Eggleston: But now for, for news and note, in a, in a more humorous than normal, amount, first of all, there, there are, I think,

  Tad Eggleston: My brother Adam's right in between us.
• 2:18
  Tyler Johnson: Okay.
• 2:19
  Tad Eggleston: And he listens to all of these, so happy birthday, Adam.
• 2:22
  Tad Eggleston: There's even a decent chance that he will be listening to it on his birthday, particularly if I make certain it gets out in a timely manner. And I might release it earlier in the day tomorrow, just so that it will.
• 2:35

• 4:40
  Tad Eggleston: It came out during our… because we had Liam on, remember?
• 4:45
  Tyler Johnson: That's right, that's right.
• 4:48
  Tad Eggleston: Oh, and it looks like… oh, smart, smart! The paperback for Starhenge Book 1 is coming out on the same…

  Tad Eggleston: day as… Book 2.
• 5:00
  Tad Eggleston: Starhenge Book 2.
• 5:02
  Tyler Johnson: Yup.
• 5:03
  Tyler Johnson: That makes sense. Cool. I'll be sure to, at my shop, get those in for those that aren't gonna buy it. Just kidding, it'll be me.
• 5:12
  Tad Eggleston: The hardcover of Starhenge Book 1 and the novella Ore are,
• 5:21
  Tad Eggleston: are already available. It's his… it's his,
• 5:25
  Tad Eggleston: Oh, how did he describe it way back when? I bet you I… I bet you we wrote it in the… the notes. Let me… let me see if we did. We're gonna go look up the Liam…
• 5:36
  Tad Eggleston: Sharp.
• 5:39
  Tyler Johnson: You're going back at… you're going back into your episode notes?
• 5:42
  Tad Eggleston: The Wayback Machine.
• 5:44
  Tyler Johnson: Alright, well, while Tad's looking into the back, I'm gonna… I'm gonna start calling…
• 5:51
  Tad Eggleston: What a week has it been?
• 5:52
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I'm gonna start on that. So, the beginning of the week was quite, funny. Trump decided to pick up.
• 6:00
  Tad Eggleston: At the beginning of the week, they're still at it.
• 6:02
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, so it's… but it started, like, almost a week ago, where… where Trump picked a fight with the Pope.
• 6:12
  Tyler Johnson: And the Pope is pushing back, okay? Then… Trump released a, an AI image.
• 6:21
  Tyler Johnson: of himself as a Jesus figure, healing a sick or dying man, and these angels and troops behind him, with the American flag, I mean, it's just…
• 6:34
  Tyler Johnson: so convoluted, right? Trump was called out on it, he then said, oh, I was a doctor.
• 6:42
  Tad Eggleston: I thought it was a doctor. Okay, Doctor, Jesus.
• 6:45
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, leave it up… leave it up to the dentist.
• 6:47
  Tad Eggleston: I'm calling him now. Dr. Jesus.
• 6:49
  Tyler Johnson: leave it up to the Dems to… you know what I think. I think that he was probably told to tell the public that the photo was doctored?
• 6:57
  Tad Eggleston: Oh, yeah, no, that, that, that's, that's the.
• 7:00
  Tyler Johnson: And then he…
• 7:01
  Tad Eggleston: Definitely the, the, the, Definitely the… the going… .
• 7:15
  Tyler Johnson: Explanation.
• 7:16
  Tad Eggleston: explanation.
• 7:17
  Tyler Johnson: I agree. So…
• 7:18
  Tad Eggleston: Is that he… he was told… That's gonna be.
• 7:24
  Tyler Johnson: so frustrating to be a handler of his, and he keeps doing some stupid.
• 7:28
  Tad Eggleston: Oh my god.
• 7:29
  Tyler Johnson: Okay, and then on top of that, Pete Hegseth led a,
• 7:35
  Tyler Johnson: a prayer breakfast at, the White House, or no, excuse me, was it the Pentagon?
• 7:42
  Tyler Johnson: Anyway, it was a big, big deal, and there was a prayer involved where Pete recited lines from the movie Pulp Fiction that.
• 7:50
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, he altered them a little bit, but…
• 7:53
  Tad Eggleston: But he did… he did, also try to…
• 7:58
  Tad Eggleston: to… what's the word I'm looking for? He tried to.
• 8:02
  Tyler Johnson: claim it was Scripture.
• 8:04
  Tad Eggleston: Yes! Yes, that's right! Oh, yes! He didn't realize that,
• 8:09
  Tad Eggleston: Quentin Tarantino had very much, spiced up the Bible!
• 8:16
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, what the… Not only that, but my question is… Is… did…
• 8:24
  Tyler Johnson: Do you think that he knew that this was from Pulp Fiction, was hoping to just sound cool and say it anyway, or did he have no clue and thought he was really reciting a Bible verse that fit exactly what he wanted?
• 8:38
  Tad Eggleston: I think that he knew that it was from Pulp Fiction.
• 8:42
  Tad Eggleston: but did not know that… I mean, because it's introduced in…
• 8:47
  Tad Eggleston: Pulp Fiction as a Bible verse.
• 8:49
  Tyler Johnson: Sure.
• 8:51
  Tyler Johnson: Pulp Fiction is in one…
• 8:52
  Tad Eggleston: What I think you didn't know is that it wasn't the actual Bible verse that Quentin had… Played.
• 9:00
  Tad Eggleston: Fast and loose, because…
• 9:02
  Tyler Johnson: Not only that, but in the thing, there's references to things that were not invented yet, When…
• 9:10
  Tad Eggleston: Well, that, that, that, that, that has to do with the things that he changed.
• 9:16
  Tyler Johnson: Oh, okay, okay, okay.
• 9:18
  Tyler Johnson: It's just so stupid. I mean, it was just…
• 9:22
  Tyler Johnson: Talk about, like, people wondering, like, why America seems so dumb. This is why.
• 9:28
  Tyler Johnson: You know, you can't… Like, Trump arguing with the Pope over what he knows more about… about Christianity. God.
• 9:37
  Tad Eggleston: a, de-definitely.
• 9:42
  Tyler Johnson: I'm not Catholic, but I would never try to assume I know more than the Pope about his own religion.
• 9:50
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, to be fair, the verse is from the King James Bible, and I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes.
• 10:00
  Tad Eggleston: And they shall know that I am the Lord when I shall lay my vengeance upon them. Of course, that was… that was following. Therefore thus said the Lord God, Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the cherithms and destroy the remnant of the seacoast.
• 10:23
  Tyler Johnson: Interesting.
• 10:24
  Tad Eggleston: So, I mean, this was in the Vengeful God thing, but yeah, no, Tarantino punched it up, and apparently actually stole his punch up from a martial arts movie.
• 10:36
  Tyler Johnson: Okay.
• 10:36
  Tad Eggleston: Oh.
• 10:37
  Tyler Johnson: That seems in line with Tarantino, his movie.
• 10:41
  Tad Eggleston: Oh.
• 10:43
  Tyler Johnson: However.
• 10:43
  Tad Eggleston: And so… so…
• 10:47
  Tad Eggleston: Do I think that he knew that it came from Pulp Fiction? Absolutely. I absolutely think that Pete Hegseth was trying to do his Jules Winston moment.
• 11:01
  Tad Eggleston: but… I don't think he realized that it wasn't really…
• 11:10
  Tad Eggleston: From the Bible. But, I mean, the bigger thing is, really, the Secretary of Defense is leading prayer services at the Pentagon on a regular basis. What the fuck, man?
• 11:21
  Tyler Johnson: Yep.
• 11:22
  Tad Eggleston: Though, actually, did you see the,
• 11:26
  Tad Eggleston: Did you see the story that dropped in The Atlantic, I think, yesterday afternoon?
• 11:31
  Tyler Johnson: No.
• 11:32
  Tad Eggleston: Let me… let me pull this up so I get it right. The Crooked Media guys were… were talking about it some, too.
• 11:56
  Tyler Johnson: Well, anyway, anything else been funny happening this week while you're looking for that?
• 12:01
  Tad Eggleston: Well, this is funny and scary.
• 12:05
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah.
• 12:05
  Tad Eggleston: I just found it. The FBI director is MIA.
• 12:11
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I did see that.
• 12:13
  Tad Eggleston: Cash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.
• 12:23
  Tyler Johnson: Wow. That is so shocking. Look at the shock on my face.
• 12:28
  Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:29
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, you really expected this man to be…
• 12:31
  Tad Eggleston: This is… it starts with a really, really fun one. Yeah.
• 12:35
  Tad Eggleston: On Friday, April 10th, as FBI Director Cash Patel was preparing to leave work for the weekend, he struggled to log into an internal computer system. He quickly became convinced that he had been locked out, and he panicked, frantically calling aides and allies to announce that he had been fired by the White House, according to 9 people familiar with his outreach.
• 12:57
  Tad Eggleston: Two of these people described his behavior as a freakout.
• 13:01
  Tyler Johnson: So, I'm guessing he was probably inebriated, could not.
• 13:06
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, that I don't know, but he wasn't fired, though God knows he should be. Apparently, it was just some sort of IT glitch, and or he forgot his password, who knows?
• 13:17
  Tyler Johnson: Getting his past, where it seems more, more likely.
• 13:21
  Tad Eggleston: Yeah.
• 13:21
  Tyler Johnson: But, man, what a weirdo. All of them, right? Just freaks.
• 13:27
  Tyler Johnson: And we're pretty weird, Tad, you and I, but these guys are just bizarre. To think that they… they don't think people are gonna look at this and go, that is ridiculous.
• 13:37
  Tad Eggleston: A technical error, and it was quickly resolved.
• 13:41
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah.
• 13:42
  Tad Eggleston: But in the meantime, like, people were calling congressmen to try to figure out who was in charge of the FBI.
• 13:50
  Tyler Johnson: And the congressmen are like, what the fuck, what?
• 13:54
  Tyler Johnson: What?
• 13:56
  Tyler Johnson: Okay, interesting.
• 13:58
  Tyler Johnson: It's quite the other. So, did you find where you had talked to Liam?
• 14:05
  Tad Eggleston: I didn't find his exact quote. It was… it was episode 56. So, so people, er, with Great Power 56, it's Liam Shark. Sharp, but, but, but I do remember him saying with some, some Doctor Who timey-wimey bullshit.
• 14:24
  Tad Eggleston: I forget what we said before that. I think it was, like, sci-fi, space opera, arthurian legend
• 14:34
  Tad Eggleston: and teenage romance with some Doctor Who timey-wimey bullshit, I think is how we described it.
• 14:40
  Tyler Johnson: That's pretty close to what it is, I would say.
• 14:43
  Tad Eggleston: Not top… not… not bullshit. It was some Doctor Who timey-wimey shit. Yeah.
• 14:48
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, it's really, like… Yeah. It's like if Merlin was Doctor Who, right?
• 14:56
  Tad Eggleston: Yeah, a little bit.
• 14:58
  Tad Eggleston: A little bit.
• 15:00
  Tyler Johnson: Alright.
• 15:01
  Tyler Johnson: Well, we can, keep moving.
• 15:04
  Tad Eggleston: Move on from Cash Patel?
• 15:06
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, it's been a funny week, you guys. Keep up with it. We will be back.
• 15:10
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, it would be a funny week if there weren't, like, nuclear codes involved.
• 15:15
  Tyler Johnson: If there weren't people's lives at stake, and millions being…
• 15:19
  Tad Eggleston: Right.
• 15:20
  Tyler Johnson: I don't know. Ugh.
• 15:22
  Tyler Johnson: This world sucks, man.
• 15:23
  Tad Eggleston: And I still… I still… you gotta love J.D. Vance, who has a book coming out about his conversion to Catholicism, thinking that he can Biblesplain to the Pope.
• 15:36
  Tyler Johnson: I know! I'm just like… Wha… Yo, what?
• 15:42
  Tad Eggleston: That's the thing, he literally said that the Pope needs to be careful with his theology.
• 15:49
  Tyler Johnson: Yep. He has… Jamie Bear…
• 15:52
  Tad Eggleston: HOPE.
• 15:53
  Tyler Johnson: Listen, this is crazy, and I don't mean listen to you, I mean listen to our listeners. He has been…
• 15:59
  Tyler Johnson: Reprimanded by two different popes
• 16:03
  Tyler Johnson: That he does not know what he's talking about.
• 16:07
  Tad Eggleston: Well, one of them died after meeting him.
• 16:09
  Tyler Johnson: Correct! I'm just saying, like… There… get… I mean, do you…
• 16:14
  Tad Eggleston: Do you think that that's what Trump was talking about when he was saying that Pope Leo only had a job because of him?
• 16:23
  Tyler Johnson: Really? I hadn't thought of that.
• 16:27
  Tad Eggleston: I sent JD! Your predecessor died! You wouldn't have the job!
• 16:33
  Tyler Johnson: There's been no evidence of foul play, though, right?
• 16:36
  Tad Eggleston: No. For the pool.
• 16:38
  Tyler Johnson: I'm like, I don't think.
• 16:39
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, other than talking to JD Vance could probably give anybody a stroke.
• 16:45
  Tyler Johnson: I realize that, but, like, he… there was no assassination poisoning or anything.
• 16:50
  Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I know. Though, though, though, I mean, like, JD Vance was, was also brilliant last week in both,
• 16:59
  Tad Eggleston: Hungry, he showed up to stump for Viktor Orban, and Viktor Orban got his clock cleaned.
• 17:12
  Tad Eggleston: Boy.
• 17:14
  Tyler Johnson: Ugh, alright.
• 17:15
  Tad Eggleston: The opposing party won a supermajority.
• 17:18
  Tad Eggleston: They can actually change the Hungarian Constitution.
• 17:22
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah.
• 17:23
  Tyler Johnson: It's crazy.
• 17:27
  Tad Eggleston: So long, so sad, couldn't happen a better guy. And then he went to meet with Iranian leaders to try to hammer out a peace deal, and apparently was completely and utterly unprepared, and…
• 17:41
  Tyler Johnson: No.
• 17:41
  Tad Eggleston: Oh, did you see how quickly…
• 17:44
  Tad Eggleston: After, Trump announced the Strait of Hormuz was open, it was no longer open because of ways that we'd have fucked up, and Iran said enough of this shit.
• 17:55
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah.
• 17:58
  Tyler Johnson: This is so stupid.
• 18:00
  Tad Eggleston: Oh, and did you see they're winning… they're winning the Meme Wars, too?
• 18:04
  Tyler Johnson: Iran? Yeah. When they… okay, let me go back to this. The Trump meme that Trump posted, Iran… the country responded with a video of their own, of Trump, right?
• 18:19
  Tyler Johnson: Did you.
• 18:20
  Tad Eggleston: No, no, I mean… It came from some specific…
• 18:27
  Tad Eggleston: internet flamethrower-type guy that might be tied to Iran, might not be, but it quickly got amplified all over the place and then parroted, etc, but, like…
• 18:37
  Tad Eggleston: It's…
• 18:38
  Tad Eggleston: and it's not just in response to the Jesus thing, it's in response to the, like, snuff videos that the White House has been sending out, etc. You know, our version of propaganda is we splice together, like.
• 18:55
  Tad Eggleston: snuff videos with… with, clips from war movies.
• 19:07
  Tad Eggleston: and talk about how good we are. Their version of propaganda is, like… Hip-hop.
• 19:19
  Tad Eggleston: diss track with Legos.
• 19:24
  Tad Eggleston: Starting with Melania talking about not knowing Epstein.
• 19:31
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, you watch it, and it's like, which part of this isn't true?
• 19:37
  Tad Eggleston: Legos!
• 19:38
  Tyler Johnson: But it's all true!
• 19:40
  Tyler Johnson: Oh, man.
• 19:41
  Tyler Johnson: That's the thing. You don't need to make shit up to make fun of these people.
• 19:45
  Tad Eggleston: Go.
• 19:46
  Tyler Johnson: And that's… that's where Saturday Night Live and South Park, I think, are going to have a harder time as this continues going on, because.
• 19:52
  Tad Eggleston: Well, I think they have been. They have to just, like, ugh.
• 19:58
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, it's hilar… I mean, it was hilarious with South Park last time, with everybody going nuts, and they're sitting there going…
• 20:05
  Tad Eggleston: Dude, we're not even making shit up. I mean, we made up the Satan baby part.
• 20:10
  Tyler Johnson: Inside of the.
• 20:11
  Tad Eggleston: funniest part of the episode!
• 20:13
  Tyler Johnson: No matter what, the Christie Noem episode where her face is melting? Yeah, sure, sure, that was…
• 20:18
  Tyler Johnson: funny, but the rest of it, like, that's true! She… she… these are these horrible people.
• 20:23
  Tad Eggleston: All of the funniest parts weren't made up.
• 20:26
  Tyler Johnson: No.
• 20:27
  Tyler Johnson: Oh, alright, let's get to comic books. Sounds good. So, new to order this month.
• 20:32
  Tad Eggleston: Due to order for the April catalog! This is last week to get in your initial orders for the April catalog, and some of these books are gonna show up again when we get the final order cut off.

  Tyler Johnson: First up is Deadman, one of my favorite DC characters. This one's by W. Maxwell Prince and Martin Morazzo, the team from.
• 20:52
  Tad Eggleston: Ice Cream Man.
• 20:53
  Tyler Johnson: Ice Cream Man, I was gonna say Superman and the Krypton Spectrum. Yeah, Krypton.
• 20:57
  Tad Eggleston: tonight spectrum as well.
• 20:58
  Tyler Johnson: Yep. The dead man enters the next level in the millisecond following his murder. The soul of shifty circus aerialist Boston Brand was commandeered by the goddess Ramakushnu. Krishna.
• 21:12
  Tyler Johnson: Who deputized the erstwhile performer's ghost with a sacred spectral assignment, the custodian of all souls. Now Bran floats begrudgingly through this blue-green purgatory we call Earth, upholding the laws of spiritual math and protecting humanity from evil, even if they can't see or hear him.
• 21:32
  Tyler Johnson: Open up to this new era of DC's most lively deceased superhero, the Dead Man, in a story about life, death, and everything in between. Replete with paranormal activity, possessions, and a profound… or a profusion of other poignant peculiarities. Try and say that three times fast.
• 21:49
  Tyler Johnson: Final order cutoff is May 11th, and will be in shops June 3rd, from DC.
• 21:57
  Tad Eggleston: Alrighty.
• 22:00

• 22:06
  Tad Eggleston: In March 2003, Sheriff Joe Bob Coates and Deputy Wilson Hart are called to the Allison Ranch, the large and richest… the largest and richest ranch in the United States, where family grievances are blooming into full-blown war.
• 22:22
  Tad Eggleston: This is from, Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips at Image Comics here. Final order cutoff is May 11th, and it will be in stores June 3rd.
• 22:33
  Tyler Johnson: with only two of us, this moves a lot more fast, you know that? Yeah. So, next up, we're going on to graphic novels. Frank in the Third Dimension is coming out from Jib Woodring.
• 22:44
  Tyler Johnson: Frank in the Third Dimension is a series of Jim Woodring's loveliest pictures. 32 anecdotal visual vignettes, dioramas, moments pickled in time.
• 22:54
  Tyler Johnson: As you've never seen Frank before, in 3D. But, as real as you can get him outside of an Ionis Goyan theater performance, which could be next, watch your local theater listings.
• 23:06
  Tyler Johnson: Frank and Frank's world are already hallucinatory, but seeing him in the most technologically advanced and artistic-crafted 3D ever produced.
• 23:16
  Tyler Johnson: More than 150 layers per drawing to round the sculpt of each image into full volumetric 3D is an experience that has to be savored to be believed. To be believed.
• 23:27
  Tyler Johnson: Packaged with 3D glasses, designed by Woodring himself, his new printing brings one of our most requested titles back into print again.
• 23:37
  Tyler Johnson: I'm totally gonna get this. I'm very excited for the 3D version of it. Final order caught off for this bad boy is April 27th, and will be in shops June 10th.
• 23:50

• 24:25
  Tad Eggleston: Or anyone other than herself, but she needs him. So Tetsuo becomes the man she wants, the monster she wants. He becomes…
• 24:33
  Tad Eggleston: Her Frankenstein. Originally published in 1986, Kawashima Norakazu's Her Frankenstein marks the bizarre and sadomasochistic finale to a cult era in Japanese horror comics. A few years after it was published, the author burned all of his artwork and abandoned Tokyo, never to be heard from again.
• 24:53
  Tad Eggleston: Her Frankenstein is the inaugural volume of Smudge, a line of pulp, horror, and dark mystery manga curated and translated into English by award-winning historian Ryan Holberg.
• 25:06
  Tad Eggleston: So this is final order cutoff of May 25th, and in stores on June 3rd.
• 25:15
  Tyler Johnson: Hey, I believe you have the next one, right?
• 25:20
  Tad Eggleston: Do you think you're up next, or am I up next?
• 25:21
  Tyler Johnson: I think it's you, we're moving on to collections.
• 25:24
  Tad Eggleston: onto collections.
• 25:27
  Tad Eggleston: And yeah, Rogue Trooper comes before, tankers, so it's me next. Rogue Trooper Ghost Patrol from Alex DeCampi and Neil Edwards, New Earth, a battle-scarred, poisoned world where Nort and Souther forces fight for
• 25:44
  Tad Eggleston: Control of a nearby black hole. Genetic infantryman Rogue Trooper is the sole survivor of the Quartz massacre. Together with the biochip ghosts of his dead comrades, he wages a one-man war against the vicious Nort forces. A souther war?
• 26:02
  Tad Eggleston: veteran called Mac… McEnroe?
• 26:07
  Tad Eggleston: Captain Nygaard and a group of fresh recruits set out for New Earth in search of McEnroe's friend, Sergeant White.
• 26:15
  Tad Eggleston: Would… could hold…
• 26:19
  Tad Eggleston: That's probably… which could hold the key to winning the war. Introducing an all-new adventure from Alex Campi and Neil Edwards, all-new Rogue Tripper adventure that delves into the secret history of the genetic infremen… infantrymen, so that was…
• 26:35
  Tad Eggleston: Oddly, raised…
• 26:38
  Tyler Johnson: Oddly phrased, yep.
• 26:40
  Tad Eggleston: Copy there, but it still sounds cool, and it's Alex Campy, so you know it'll be awesome.
• 26:44
  Tyler Johnson: Yep. Alright, last up for,
• 26:48
  Tyler Johnson: Trades Tankers by Robert Venditti and Juan Jose Reap.
• 26:53
  Tyler Johnson: New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti joins forces with superstar artist Juan Jose Reap.
• 27:01
  Tyler Johnson: to deliver an epic action-adventure extravaganza in this new… in this brand new bone-crushing collection. Texas-based Greenleaf Oil has discovered that the world only has 50 years of oil left.
• 27:15
  Tyler Johnson: Which means Greenleaf only has 50 years of profit left. But their enterprising CEO has a harebrained scheme to change history. Using time travel technology, they will send a team of mercenaries, armed with weaponized mecha suits… mech suits.
• 27:31
  Tyler Johnson: aka tankers, back to the end of the Cretaceous period and deflect the asteroid that killed… that hit the Earth and killed the dinosaurs.
• 27:39
  Tyler Johnson: Just a small deflection, though. They aim to have it make more… one more orbit around the solar system before impact.
• 27:47
  Tyler Johnson: More time means more dinosaurs are born, which means more oil in the present, which means more profits for Greenleaf.
• 27:53
  Tyler Johnson: This, of course, is a horrible planet, it goes horribly wrong. The tankers return to Earth to find the planet overrun by primeval jungle and gigantic hyper-evolved dinosaurs. The tanker must fight off these modern super dinosaurs to once again rest to the… return to the past and fix their mistake.

• 33:30
  Tad Eggleston: We went 9, and we cheated.
• 33:32
  Tyler Johnson: I see that, and it was 9+.
• 33:35
  Tad Eggleston: 9, and we cheated.
• 33:37
  Tyler Johnson: I will… I will agree with all of yours, except…
• 33:42
  Tyler Johnson: You're missing a good one, which I suspect I know why.
• 33:48
  Tyler Johnson: What do you mean?
• 33:48
  Tad Eggleston: Well, which one?
• 33:51
  Tyler Johnson: The one you just did an interview on, Neighborhood Watch?
• 33:56
  Tad Eggleston: That was last week.
• 33:59
  Tyler Johnson: Really?
• 34:00
  Tyler Johnson: Then I got my piles mixed up. I read Neighborhood… I read Neighborhood Watch just yesterday. Sorry, I assumed it came out yesterday… er, last week, so…
• 34:09
  Tad Eggleston: That, that was, that was last week.
• 34:11
  Tyler Johnson: Alright, my bad.
• 34:14
  Tyler Johnson: My bad.
• 34:15
  Tad Eggleston: But, I just realized that right now I have it at 8.
• 34:20
  Tad Eggleston: So, so we'll fix it.
• 34:24
  Tyler Johnson: Oh, I see.
• 34:26
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, that, when you get to that one you're writing out right now, that was really good.
• 34:31
  Tad Eggleston: It was.
• 34:33
  Tyler Johnson: Nope.
• 34:36
  Tyler Johnson: Alright, so…
• 34:38
  Tad Eggleston: And so, we start off with the David Lapham double feature. Hab number one with Joshua Dysart, Bill Sienkiewicz, Jacob Phillips, and Dick.
• 34:49
  Tyler Johnson: Yep.
• 34:50
  Tad Eggleston: Very good. At that idea.
• 34:52
  Tyler Johnson: very.
• 34:52
  Tad Eggleston: And Night City, number 3, with Matt Kint and David Lapham at Dark House. Dark Horse.
• 34:59
  Tyler Johnson: Door counts? Door counts? Oh, man, that was good. Okay, go on.
• 35:05
  Tad Eggleston: Workhorse…
• 35:06
  Tyler Johnson: Doorcourse.
• 35:07
  Tad Eggleston: house, you know, got a place.
• 35:10
  Tyler Johnson: But you're right, you're right, both Hab and Night City were amazing books to.
• 35:14
  Tad Eggleston: Oh my god.
• 35:16
  Tad Eggleston: Just… just outstanding book.
• 35:18
  Tyler Johnson: I, I, I probably would have put your number 2 here as number 1, though.
• 35:22
  Tad Eggleston: You know, I mean… If I had separated the Hab and Night City.
• 35:30
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah.
• 35:32
  Tyler Johnson: If you had to do HAB, Night City, Narco.
• 35:36
  Tyler Johnson: The… what… what would be the order there?
• 35:38
  Tad Eggleston: It still might be Hab as number 1, and then Narco, and then Night City. But that's the thing, is, like, I'm certain that Hab and Night City are top 3 books this week.
• 35:50
  Tyler Johnson: Oh, yes.
• 35:53
  Tad Eggleston: So Narco's gotta come in too, no matter how good it was.
• 35:57
  Tad Eggleston: Does that make sense?
• 35:58
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah.
• 35:59
  Tad Eggleston: From Doug Wagner and Daniel Hilliard, amazing, amazing, amazing.
• 36:03
  Tyler Johnson: The cover alone, right, with the… it's just so graphic, yet it looks like a child's cartooning. Love it, right? I'm not… I love Daniel's artwork, but then just the visceral blood hanging from the… ugh. Yeah.
• 36:17
  Tad Eggleston: I didn't ask for this from Jenny Wood, and…
• 36:21
  Tad Eggleston: Jazz Cornillion is such a great graphic novel.
• 36:24
  Tyler Johnson: It is.
• 36:25
  Tad Eggleston: check out my conversation with Jenny Wood, amazing. Which is how the Stark Stubble feature is still in the 4 spot. If I hadn't gone 9 this week.
• 36:35
  Tyler Johnson: Who would've…
• 36:36
  Tad Eggleston: skipped the Stark Stumble feature.
• 36:39
  Tyler Johnson: Well, you could have picked one of the Stark books for… I mean, yes, you went 9, but you… anyway, go on.
• 36:46
  Tad Eggleston: No, it wouldn't have made the 3!
• 36:48
  Tyler Johnson: Mmm.
• 36:50
  Tyler Johnson: That's true.
• 36:52
  Tad Eggleston: Mark's double feature is at 4?
• 36:54
  Tyler Johnson: That's true! I did not read Where Monsters Lie.
• 37:00
  Tad Eggleston: Well, if you didn't kickstart it, You haven't gotten it yet.
• 37:05
  Tyler Johnson: Okay, that would be why I haven't read it.
• 37:07
  Tad Eggleston: Yeah, those of us who kickstarted it, we got our PDFs this week.
• 37:11
  Tad Eggleston: for Where Monsters Lie Dead End, the,
• 37:15
  Tad Eggleston: The third volume of the Where Monsters Lie saga from Kyle Starks and Peter Kowalski.
• 37:21
  Tad Eggleston: And we also got Issue 3 of End of Life from Kyle Starks, and…
• 37:29
  Tad Eggleston: Steve Pugh. And, Steve Pugh, and this is actually how… so I now have 10 on the list, but one of them can be yours. How about that?
• 37:38
  Tyler Johnson: If that works.
• 37:40
  Tad Eggleston: Cause I- cause I see what happened.
• 37:42
  Tyler Johnson: There you did it! I see it. That's why you…
• 37:46
  Tad Eggleston: Yep. Man.
• 37:48
  Tyler Johnson: Okay.
• 37:48
  Tad Eggleston: Number 5, Dead Teenagers, number 2, from Jude S. Doyle and Caitlin Yarsky at Oni. Wonder Woman number 32, from Tom King and Danielson Perry at DC. He's gonna make me go back and re-read.
• 38:04
  Tad Eggleston: from the beginning, because not only is this pulse-pounding in a way that, like, the first issue of Wonder Woman was, it's so clear that he's been setting it up since the beginning.
• 38:18
  Tad Eggleston: like, things that I thought were answered.
• 38:21
  Tad Eggleston: I'm now questioning.
• 38:23
  Tad Eggleston: and things that are happening, I'm now going, oh, wait a minute, what did I miss? .
• 38:30
  Tyler Johnson: You're gonna have to, yeah.
• 38:31
  Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I'm… I'm gonna be… I'm gonna be rereading 30 issues of Wonder Woman sometime soon. I can feel it already.
• 38:40
  Tad Eggleston: Tom King, Danielson Perry, just so good. As was the conclusion of Where Does the Rainbow End? from Francesca Perillo and Stefano Cardicelli at…
• 38:50
  Tad Eggleston: Mad Cave, Tigress Island, number 2 from Patrick Kendall, EPHK at…
• 38:55
  Tad Eggleston: image was fantastic, and we'll call it a tie at number 9, but not a double feature, because completely different,
• 39:03
  Tad Eggleston: creative teams for Kill All Immortals 2, number 4 from Zach Kaplan and Fico Osseo at Dark Horse, and Ordained, number 0 from Robert Venditti and Trevor Herstine.
• 39:16
  Tad Eggleston: Bad idea.
• 39:19
  Tad Eggleston: Alright, Tyler, take a walk.
• 39:22
  Tyler Johnson: All right, well, we're gonna do a walk with Phil slash Tyler. So the theme I kind of went with this week is older properties that are coming back, and one of these is not that old, but…
• 39:33
  Tyler Johnson: Headlopper, I've really been enjoying the original Headlopper series. I did not get into it when it came out. I was only introduced to it as it's being re… re-put out, and so I'm going back to the originals and catching myself up.
• 39:49
  Tyler Johnson: From Adam McLean, from Image. Powers 25 is Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oming from Dark Horse.
• 39:59
  Tad Eggleston: Every issue of this is like a visit from an old friend.
• 40:03
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, it, yeah, it is cool.
• 40:06
  Tyler Johnson: Mind Management from Matt Kent, from ONI.
• 40:11
  Tyler Johnson: And this one is not quite a break in between, but that Texas flag for me.
• 40:15
  Tad Eggleston: It's been a little while, I mean, because they went off and they did Enfield Gang, which is tied to it, and Condon's done a bunch of other stuff, Phillips has done some other stuff, and then they came back and were doing Brutal Dark together.
• 40:30
  Tyler Johnson: Yep.
• 40:31
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, that brutal dirt is good.
• 40:33
  Tad Eggleston: finally coming up. We've got some… So, that Texas.
• 40:39
  Tyler Johnson: That Texas Blood. Well, that's what I've got for Take a Walk. Check those titles out, and then go back, once you do, go back and…
• 40:47
  Tad Eggleston: Just go back.
• 40:48
  Tad Eggleston: Just go back, check out the original.
• 40:50
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah. Go check out the.
• 40:52
  Tad Eggleston: Other ones you should definitely go back. If you have not read these books, they're totally worth reading. I think there's, what, 4 volumes of Headlopper?
• 41:01
  Tyler Johnson: Yes, yes.
• 41:01
  Tad Eggleston: I think…
• 41:02
  Tad Eggleston: depending on whether you're looking at omnibus size or graphic novel size, between 6 and 12 volumes of powers, 3 to 6 volumes of mind management, same thing, whether you're getting omnibuses or regular graphic novels, and
• 41:21
  Tad Eggleston: Is it 2 or 3 volumes of that? I think it's 2 volumes of…
• 41:25
  Tyler Johnson: Texas Court.
• 41:26
  Tad Eggleston: Texas Blood.
• 41:28
  Tad Eggleston: Thank you.
• 41:29
  Tyler Johnson: Right now.
• 41:29
  Tad Eggleston: the Enfield Gang Massacre.
• 41:31
  Tyler Johnson: That Texas Blood… Yeah, the Enfield Gang Massacre is actually kind of better. I liked it, I liked it a lot.
• 41:39
  Tad Eggleston: Oh, I love it.
• 41:40
  Tyler Johnson: I hate it.
• 41:41
  Tad Eggleston: I don't know if I'd call it better, because it's hard to… it's hard to compare a modern…
• 41:46
  Tad Eggleston: small-town noir to… an Old Western.
• 41:51
  Tyler Johnson: Correct. Yeah, you're right, you're right. But, as far as the Old Western, that Texas Blood had 3 volumes,
• 41:58
  Tad Eggleston: Okay, so th-thru… That's the modern small-town noir. The old western is the Enfield Gang.
• 42:06
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, yeah, but the… that Texas Blood is.
• 42:10
  Tad Eggleston: 3 volumes, sir.
• 42:11
  Tyler Johnson: Three bullies.
• 42:11
  Tad Eggleston: So this is Volume 4 that they're starting up.
• 42:13
  Tyler Johnson: Correct, yep.
• 42:14
  Tad Eggleston: Yep, love me some of that Texas blood.
• 42:18
  Tad Eggleston: So, I, one Piece Race, we think it's week 86.
• 42:24
  Tyler Johnson: Okay.
• 42:24
  Tad Eggleston: gone back to figure out if I… if I… Miscounted at any point.
• 42:31
  Tyler Johnson: Well, we could go back and look at the exact date we started.
• 42:36
  Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah, no.
• 42:37
  Tyler Johnson: And just go from there.
• 42:39
  Tad Eggleston: That's what I meant. I haven't gone back to figure out where we started.
• 42:43
  Tyler Johnson: Okay, okay.
• 42:45
  Tad Eggleston: So, so that I can figure out, like, how many weeks it's been. Sure.
• 42:51
  Tad Eggleston: But, it, it, I did, I did read another volume this week, so I'm at 656 chapters. They are, they are…
• 43:00
  Tad Eggleston: Moving into the new world.
• 43:03
  Tad Eggleston: And… and… It… it is fun.
• 43:11
  Tyler Johnson: Alright.
• 43:12
  Tad Eggleston: That's what I'll say about it, right?
• 43:14
  Tyler Johnson: It was fun.
• 43:15
  Tad Eggleston: Yeah.
• 43:16
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, if I hadn't read all of that stuff before so fast, and I hadn't read so much since I read One Piece on Monday, I might be able to say more, but… Yeah. A, I'm a little out of breath, and B, I've read so many pages of so many things since I read any One Piece.
• 43:37
  Tyler Johnson: So, I just did a quick
• 43:40
  Tyler Johnson: search, and this is funny, using Google's AI feature, I had just asked it, when did 22Panels Podcast first start reading One Piece? And here's what it told me.
• 43:50
  Tyler Johnson: June of 24.
• 43:53
  Tyler Johnson: Progress. By late July of 24, we had reached week 6 of the challenge, that was episode 141.
• 43:59
  Tad Eggleston: Okay.
• 44:00
  Tyler Johnson: Recent activity, let's see here… no, it doesn't say anything recent. It just says we started mid-2024, so that gives you somewhere to start.
• 44:09
  Tyler Johnson: If you were gonna go back and look for it.
• 44:13
  Tad Eggleston: So, so June of 2024?
• 44:19
  Tad Eggleston: Let's, let's, let's take a look.
• 44:21
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah.
• 44:22
  Tad Eggleston: Let's take a look.
• 44:25
  Tad Eggleston: Did you read any One Piece this week?
• 44:28
  Tyler Johnson: I did not read any new One Piece. I have started collecting the, physical, volumes for my store, so I'm going back and reading it physically to just get a different experience of it, as opposed to my tablet, you know?
• 44:45
  Tad Eggleston: Right.
• 44:46
  Tyler Johnson: So, I have not run any stuff I haven't read before.
• 44:50
  Tad Eggleston: So how many volumes have you gotten physically now?
• 44:53
  Tyler Johnson: Three?
• 44:55
  Tad Eggleston: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 44:57
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah. That's amazing.
• 44:58
  Tad Eggleston: Tyler, 3?
• 45:00
  Tyler Johnson: 3. Yep, yep. I know, I didn't want to brag, so that's why I didn't bring it up.
• 45:05
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, that's fair.
• 45:06
  Tyler Johnson: Puts there.
• 45:08
  Tad Eggleston: Very good of you to be so humble.
• 45:10
  Tyler Johnson: I know, I didn't want to make you feel bad by my amazing reading this week.
• 45:15
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, did you read all 3 of them this week?
• 45:19
  Tyler Johnson: No, no, probably number 3.
• 45:23
  Tad Eggleston: Even read more than me.
• 45:25
  Tyler Johnson: I know, I know.
• 45:27
  Tyler Johnson: But anyway, are you, are you doing some math there?
• 45:31
  Tad Eggleston: Well, first, One Piece Race Week 1 was…
• 45:39
  Tad Eggleston: June 16th, 2024, or episode 135.
• 45:45
  Tyler Johnson: Okay.
• 45:46
  Tad Eggleston: We are on 232.
• 45:50
  Tad Eggleston: So we are going to update it.
• 45:54
  Tad Eggleston: Rather than calling it… .
• 45:59
  Tyler Johnson: 80s.
• 46:00
  Tad Eggleston: approximately 86.
• 46:02
  Tyler Johnson: No.
• 46:03
  Tad Eggleston: is…
• 46:03
  Tyler Johnson: 90… what?
• 46:05
  Tad Eggleston: 97.
• 46:06
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, we were a little off. That's not bad, though.
• 46:13
  Tyler Johnson: That's not bad. Only 11 episodes off. It's fine.
• 46:15
  Tad Eggleston: We are 3 weeks away from our 100th week.
• 46:21
  Tad Eggleston: of the One Piece race.
• 46:23
  Tyler Johnson: This has gotten so sad. I'm gonna have to find where I left off.
• 46:27
  Tad Eggleston: Well, I mean, if you think about it, I mean, like, it's still, like…
• 46:33
  Tad Eggleston: 6 chapters a week isn't bad.
• 46:36
  Tyler Johnson: -
• 46:37
  Tyler Johnson: I just gotta get back into it. I want to catch up.
• 46:39
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, I'm at six and a half chapters a week. A little bit more.
• 46:44
  Tyler Johnson: Okay.
• 46:45
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, it would be amazing if I could get it to…
• 46:51
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, now my goal for 3 weeks from now is to, like… Throw on the… the… the, like…
• 47:04
  Tad Eggleston: Thrusters and be at 1,000 chapters for week 100.
• 47:09
  Tyler Johnson: That would be awesome.
• 47:10
  Tad Eggleston: I don't know if I'll pull it off.
• 47:12
  Tad Eggleston: Boy.
• 47:12
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah.
• 47:13
  Tad Eggleston: Goal.
• 47:14
  Tyler Johnson: It's a goal. It's 3 weeks to go for 344 chapters.
• 47:19
  Tad Eggleston: 344 chapters.
• 47:21
  Tyler Johnson: You know?
• 47:21
  Tad Eggleston: three weeks. I… there have been times where we did that much.
• 47:25
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah.
• 47:26
  Tyler Johnson: If you read nothing.
• 47:27
  Tad Eggleston: on, we were, we were sometimes…
• 47:30
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, like, that first week…
• 47:32
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah.
• 47:33
  Tad Eggleston: You did 39, and I did 20.
• 47:36
  Tyler Johnson: That's true.
• 47:38
  Tyler Johnson: We were really into it then.
• 47:40
  Tyler Johnson: Anywho, you want.
• 47:43
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, I don't know that we're less into it, we just, like…
• 47:46
  Tyler Johnson: Too busy.
• 47:48
  Tad Eggleston: Today, we've gotten busier.
• 47:50
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, Tad, for you, this podcast has kicked up your busyness. Yeah. You know what I mean? I was very proud to see that you took this to C2E2 this year. Like, I was telling.
• 48:02
  Tad Eggleston: Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, hold on a second. This is one of those funny things.
• 48:07
  Tyler Johnson: Okay.
• 48:13
  Tad Eggleston: Let me look at the, the, the…
• 48:17
  Tad Eggleston: the name of the file is gonna be what's accurate. It was actually… Episode 137.
• 48:27
  Tyler Johnson: Okay.
• 48:29
  Tad Eggleston: from June 23rd. I hadn't updated the top of the page, but the file name.
• 48:38
  Tyler Johnson: But the file name.
• 48:38
  Tad Eggleston: Right.
• 48:39
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, because you… you reused the… the.
• 48:43
  Tad Eggleston: I just copy, and then, yeah.
• 48:45
  Tyler Johnson: Okay, so…
• 48:47
  Tad Eggleston: So… so… so let's, let's fix this again. We're at week 90.
• 48:53
  Tad Eggleston: Five!
• 48:56
  Tyler Johnson: Okay, so 9… we were… we were 9 off, not 11, but…
• 49:00
  Tad Eggleston: 95. And that also means that now I have 5 weeks.
• 49:09
  Tad Eggleston: 2…
• 49:09
  Tyler Johnson: Get there. Yeah. Get there. You could… you could…
• 49:12
  Tyler Johnson: Definitely, let's see, I'm gonna do a little math.
• 49:16
  Tyler Johnson: 20… okay, we want to get to a thousand… You are at $6.95…
• 49:23
  Tad Eggleston: I need to do about 70 a week.
• 49:27
  Tyler Johnson: 6.59… what are you at? 6.50, what?
• 49:30
  Tad Eggleston: 656, so I need to do 344.
• 49:33
  Tyler Johnson: Yep, divided by 5… 68.8. So, if you could do 69, you… you should… you know, let's do 69 instead of 70. That's a better number, really.
• 49:45
  Tyler Johnson: Ugh!
• 49:46
  Tad Eggleston: So, yeah.
• 49:49
  Tyler Johnson: Alright, it's possible. It's possible. Our great responsibility this week is this magnificent book called Culpra, and we are on round 3.
• 50:00
  Tad Eggleston: out a couple of things that I haven't read yet, but one of them you can order, and I think you totally should, because I think you would love it. And one of them, I don't know how to get. I bought it directly from him, and loved that he was selling it at his table. Because, like, Michael Fife was,
• 50:19
  Tad Eggleston: Mikel Fife was at… CXC last year.
• 50:24
  Tad Eggleston: And, the two things I bought from him is he… he did… this is totally a youth thing.
• 50:31
  Tyler Johnson: Okay.
• 50:32
  Tad Eggleston: Creating Copra, the definitive DIY guide to making and self-publishing Comics.
• 50:39
  Tyler Johnson: Yes!
• 50:42
  Tad Eggleston: You can order this from his website.
• 50:47
  Tad Eggleston: And you should, because I feel like when we get done, we should read this together.
• 50:52
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I like these behind-the-scenes things, they're cool.
• 50:55
  Tad Eggleston: You know, its chapters are concept, plot, writing, layouts, pencils, lettering, inking, coloring, process review, self-publishing, and escape slash return to self-publishing.
• 51:06
  Tyler Johnson: Okay.
• 51:07
  Tyler Johnson: Very cool.
• 51:09
  Tad Eggleston: But, also, his two talks from CXC just went up on…
• 51:14
  Tad Eggleston: on their YouTube channel, so there… there are two… two talks with, michael Faith.
• 51:22
  Tad Eggleston: But then the other thing that he had at his table, which was super cool, is Coconut Meat Skull.
• 51:29
  Tad Eggleston: A Copra fanzine.
• 51:31
  Tyler Johnson: Okay, coconut meat skull.
• 51:34
  Tad Eggleston: I forget if… Compiled by Josh Lambert.
• 51:41
  Tad Eggleston: Published by Wake Up Comics.
• 51:43
  Tad Eggleston: that, that,
• 51:46
  Tad Eggleston: He came across and liked it so much that he sold it at his table, too.
• 51:52
  Tyler Johnson: That's cool. That's awesome.
• 51:54
  Tad Eggleston: There's… there's essays, there's…
• 51:58
  Tyler Johnson: You know, I've thought about starting… I've always been interested in starting or making a zine, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I don't… I've got a few different ideas for topics, right? Like, or themes, that it would revolve around, but,
• 52:15
  Tyler Johnson: there used to be a magazine called… I think it was called Found, and it was literally just Found notes on the ground.
• 52:25
  Tyler Johnson: People would send in these found, bits of paper, or notes or whatever, and the magazine would print them.
• 52:34
  Tyler Johnson: And it was all about lost.
• 52:37
  Tyler Johnson: people's handwritten things. It was really cool.
• 52:42
  Tyler Johnson: But, anywho, let's talk about COPRA!
• 52:46
  Tad Eggleston: Yeah, well, that's what we're doing.
• 52:48
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, round 3!
• 52:50
  Tyler Johnson: So, again.
• 52:52
  Tad Eggleston: This was a, like, a series of one-shots.
• 52:55
  Tad Eggleston: Where, where everybody… everybody went home.
• 52:59
  Tyler Johnson: Correct.
• 53:00
  Tyler Johnson: So, this round.
• 53:02
  Tad Eggleston: So, I mean, and I like that, because it's like…
• 53:05
  Tad Eggleston: We get to learn so much more about them.
• 53:08
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah.
• 53:09
  Tad Eggleston: Not through your traditional, like, oh, here's your origin story flashback. It's like, no.
• 53:15
  Tyler Johnson: No. They've just…
• 53:16
  Tad Eggleston: been on the run, they just got themselves cleared, now they deserve a break. They're all going back to their old haunts, their old families, whatnot, and we're.
• 53:26
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah.
• 53:27
  Tad Eggleston: about them that way.
• 53:29
  Tyler Johnson: So this is issues 13 through 18, and it… you're right, it is a bit of a shift, right? We're… we're, the other… the other volumes were, like.
• 53:38
  Tyler Johnson: full-on, and then no breaks, right? And then world hopping, and this is where everything gets to breathe a little bit in the downtime, and then we get these cool little vignettes, that dive into the old friends and their older
• 53:51
  Tyler Johnson: Habits.
• 53:52
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, I loved, and I can't remember his name right now, but the guy that's normally in the suit, A, having him all out of his… all out of the suit, and B, like, him hanging out with his grandma.
• 54:02
  Tyler Johnson: Yes. I don't…
• 54:03
  Tad Eggleston: Let's play cards, let's play dominoes.
• 54:05
  Tyler Johnson: Yep, yep.
• 54:07
  Tyler Johnson: Here?
• 54:10
  Tyler Johnson: I like it, it's very gritty, as a whole, the whole thing. And, I had never read it before, so this is really fun for me.
• 54:17
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah.
• 54:20
  Tad Eggleston: Well, and, and, like… and this is something I'm certain we'll get into
• 54:27
  Tad Eggleston: more at some point. I love the way he challenged himself.
• 54:32
  Tad Eggleston: Like, the whole… the whole purpose is to move fast, to… to… to not… work…
• 54:41
  Tad Eggleston: Work too hard is not the word I'm… to not…
• 54:50
  Tad Eggleston: To not overthink.
• 54:52
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah.
• 54:53
  Tad Eggleston: to keep moving, to keep getting pages done. And that leads to so many interesting panel choices, color choices.
• 55:03
  Tad Eggleston: You know, sometimes… I mean, how often do you see comics where, like, There are pages where, like.
• 55:14
  Tad Eggleston: one character is colored and other characters aren't.
• 55:20
  Tad Eggleston: You know, makes you notice that he draws it all on this off-white paper.
• 55:27
  Tad Eggleston: Which he can then use to affect .
• 55:31
  Tyler Johnson: I like that. I mean, it gives it a definite aesthetic, right? It gives it a definite feel to how it's supposed to look, and…
• 55:37
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah.
• 55:38
  Tad Eggleston: Because it slowed down this… this volume, and… and, like…
• 55:46
  Tad Eggleston: I had read at least this far before, I'll find out this week if I've read volume 4, I can't remember if I've read Volume 4, but I've read at least this far before, so some of this is remembering, but I remember that this is kind of the point where
• 56:02
  Tad Eggleston: It really sinks in.
• 56:08
  Tad Eggleston: You know, because you've got so… such balls-to-the-wall action.
• 56:13
  Tyler Johnson: Right, so…
• 56:14
  Tad Eggleston: for those first two volumes, that it really sinks in that, like.
• 56:19
  Tad Eggleston: He's a special artist in so many different ways.
• 56:23
  Tyler Johnson: Correct. This is the volume where I don't feel like it's a love letter to, 80s Suicide Squad.
• 56:32
  Tyler Johnson: You know what I mean? This is where it's like, I finally feel like it's taking on its own…
• 56:37
  Tyler Johnson: its own thing, here in Volume 3. I will say I enjoyed this a lot better. For me, the heavy, frantic pace of the other ones, are just… are just that. Frantic, and I get…
• 56:51
  Tyler Johnson: I read through it faster, if it's faster, and then I just don't absorb as much. But if it's slowed down, and we're getting, like, these little vignettes of these characters, right, I'm taking in a lot more.
• 57:03
  Tad Eggleston: Well, but, I mean, even with the frantic pace, there's just something…
• 57:11
  Tad Eggleston: The less polished nature of it.
• 57:14
  Tyler Johnson: Correct, yep.
• 57:17
  Tyler Johnson: Yep.
• 57:19
  Tad Eggleston: It gives it an energy that… that you generally… Joan.
• 57:25
  Tad Eggleston: get elsewhere.
• 57:27
  Tyler Johnson: It reminds me of… you remember when Kirkman was doing Die, Die, Die? Yeah. Right? And it was just non-stop…
• 57:34
  Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah.
• 57:35
  Tyler Johnson: killing, like, the whole thing. That was too… for me, that was just, like, it was almost too intense.
• 57:41
  Tad Eggleston: No, there's only so long you can maintain it.
• 57:43
  Tyler Johnson: Yep.
• 57:44
  Tad Eggleston: Which is why… which is why it was time for this volume.
• 57:48
  Tyler Johnson: Yep.
• 57:48
  Tad Eggleston: But… but also, that's… that's like a natural…
• 57:56
  Tad Eggleston: Currents.
• 57:58
  Tad Eggleston: Does that make sense? And that's… I mean, if you really… if you step back and look at these first three volumes, like.
• 58:05
  Tad Eggleston: You've got your premise for first volume, and something that happens in the first volume requires the second volume, and this is the first time the characters can breathe, and rather than skipping through time, he's letting you see them breathe.
• 58:21
  Tad Eggleston: And you learn so much about them based on the
• 58:27
  Tad Eggleston: the ways they choose to breathe. Some of them actually try to, like.
• 58:32
  Tad Eggleston: take time off, and other ones, it's like, oh, I'm not being told to get in trouble, so I need to go find trouble.
• 58:38
  Tyler Johnson: Kinda. It kinda seems that way.
• 58:41
  Tad Eggleston: You know, particularly, what's her name?
• 58:44
  Tad Eggleston: This one.
• 58:47
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I don't remember names either.
• 58:49
  Tyler Johnson: But…
• 58:50
  Tad Eggleston: She's like, I must find trouble.
• 58:56
  Tad Eggleston: What do you mean, no trouble? No, no, no. Must find trouble.
• 59:02
  Tyler Johnson: I… I get it.
• 59:04
  Tad Eggleston: Hmm.
• 59:07
  Tyler Johnson: Well, let's see, that's about all I had to say about Copra.
• 59:10
  Tad Eggleston: I think, I think that's, what I have at the moment, too.
• 59:16
  Tyler Johnson: But that's okay, we're missing Phil, so it's not as…
• 59:19
  Tad Eggleston: Well, and… and, like, I mean, that's… I mean, this is… this is… and I think… I think with Copra, we'll wind up doing all of it rather than floating off, but remember, originally, we were gonna talk about One Piece as the main thing.
• 59:34
  Tad Eggleston: through One Piece, and then after, like, 5 weeks of… of having One Piece as our… as our…
• 59:40
  Tyler Johnson: Main thing.
• 59:41
  Tad Eggleston: great responsibilities, like, okay, maybe let's…
• 59:46
  Tad Eggleston: Dial it back for a while.
• 59:52
  Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I remember that. But we both have things.
• 59:54
  Tad Eggleston: to do, so let's just move along to three books we hope will be spectacular, and
• 1:00:01
  Tad Eggleston: It's the… it's the, Platinum Major Comics, so I don't…
• 1:00:05
  Tyler Johnson: It is sweet.
• 1:00:05
  Tad Eggleston: again.
• 1:00:06
  Tyler Johnson: Nope.
• 1:00:07
  Tad Eggleston: And I have 3 again, no double features here, but
• 1:00:13
  Tad Eggleston: even with 2 books that I know are spectacular, I have 9 for this coming week.
• 1:00:20
  Tyler Johnson: That's true.
• 1:00:22
  Tad Eggleston: So, so, books I know are spectacular. Second printing of, of New History of the DC Universe, the Dakota incident. Let's sell this one out, too. Force them to a third printing.
• 1:00:35
  Tad Eggleston: Maybe one day they'll decide that Milestone should, like, have monthly books again?
• 1:00:42
  Tyler Johnson: Alright.
• 1:00:43
  Tad Eggleston: Also, one of the, the, the absolute best early reader…
• 1:00:53
  Tad Eggleston: middle-grade graphic novels I've ever read. Penny and the Yeti from Jimmy Gasparo and Amber Aiken.
• 1:01:00
  Tyler Johnson: software.
• 1:01:01
  Tad Eggleston: Paper cuts this week.
• 1:01:03
  Tad Eggleston: But otherwise, books I hope will be spectacular. In Your Skin, number 1, from Iditya Biddikar and Som at Image. I always get excited when letterers make their own books.
• 1:01:17
  Tad Eggleston: I think that there tends to be nobody more knowledgeable of what makes a good comic book than the letterers, so, like.
• 1:01:25
  Tad Eggleston: when Hassan did a book, a while ago, and now Aditya is doing a book, I get excited.
• 1:01:34
  Tad Eggleston: forward to In Your Skin number one. We already talked about Powers 25, this is issue 8, and I'm just
• 1:01:41
  Tad Eggleston: Looking forward to my warm hug from… from Brian and Michael. American Caper, number 6 from Dan Houser, Laszlo, and David Lapham.
• 1:01:51
  Tad Eggleston: gotta love some David Lapham.
• 1:01:54
  Tad Eggleston: Rabagoo Race from
• 1:01:57
  Tad Eggleston: at Living the Line. This is… this just looks like a crazy, like, sci-fi, wacky races type thing, and looks fun. Speaking of Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips, we have The Peril of the Brutal Dark, an Ezra Kane Mystery number 3.
• 1:02:16
  Tad Eggleston: From DC Vertigo.
• 1:02:17
  Tyler Johnson: That is such a great story. I, I love it. It is really good.
• 1:02:22
  Tad Eggleston: We have Usagi Yojimbo Kaido, 84, number 2, from Zach Rosenberg and Jared Cullum at Dark Horse. Absolute Wonder Woman, number 19, from Kelly Thompson and Hayden Sherman at DC.
• 1:02:36
  Tad Eggleston: Brownfield Action Family, number 1, from Ted May at Revival House Press. This looks kinda cool, and it's under the radar. If I love it, we'll definitely be hearing more about it. And
• 1:02:47
  Tad Eggleston: You know, I love me some Spider-Man, I love me some Superman, put them together, and have lots of cool folks work on it.
• 1:02:55
  Tad Eggleston: I'm gonna read it! So, Spider-Man Superman No. 1 from Marvel DC, lots and lots of cool folks.
• 1:03:02
  Tyler Johnson: Do you… okay, so they did the Punisher, and
• 1:03:07
  Tyler Johnson: What was the last one that they did? Dc Monroe.
• 1:03:11
  Tad Eggleston: They did Dared… they did Deadpool Batman.
• 1:03:14
  Tyler Johnson: Deadpool Bearman, okay.
• 1:03:15
  Tad Eggleston: and Deadpool.
• 1:03:16
  Tyler Johnson: Thank you. So they did one… one for Marvel, one for DC.
• 1:03:19
  Tad Eggleston: They already do Superman, Spider-Man, and now this is Spider-Man Superman.
• 1:03:23
  Tyler Johnson: Correct.
• 1:03:24
  Tyler Johnson: I'm just not… I mean, granted, there may be great stories in it. I'm just not a fan of these cash grabs, you know what I mean?
• 1:03:32
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, are they cash grabs?
• 1:03:35
  Tyler Johnson: When you release it to… when you release two different versions, Yeah, back-to-back, so that…
• 1:03:43
  Tad Eggleston: Well, except that they're not two different versions.
• 1:03:46
  Tyler Johnson: They're different, right?
• 1:03:48
  Tad Eggleston: The stories are different.
• 1:03:49
  Tyler Johnson: That's what I'm saying, they're two… they're different things.
• 1:03:52
  Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I mean, I mean, and that's how they worked out the…
• 1:03:56
  Tad Eggleston: like, if DC got to publish…
• 1:04:01
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, think of them as two-issue anthology miniseries.
• 1:04:06
  Tyler Johnson: Okay.
• 1:04:07
  Tad Eggleston: But one comes from DC, and one comes from Marvel, because that's how they managed to actually make them for the first time in decades.
• 1:04:14
  Tyler Johnson: That's how they came to the agreement. Okay.
• 1:04:18
  Tyler Johnson: Okay.
• 1:04:19
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, they're anthology comics, so it's not like…
• 1:04:25
  Tad Eggleston: You know… I think… I think… I think in the Deadpool…
• 1:04:31
  Tad Eggleston: Batman, there was one story that was a two-part story that was in the two comics, and all of the others.
• 1:04:39
  Tyler Johnson: I think so, yep.
• 1:04:40
  Tad Eggleston: Right.
• 1:04:41
  Tad Eggleston: So I wouldn't be surprised if that's what they're doing here, too. And they release one from Marvel and one from DC.
• 1:04:48
  Tyler Johnson: Okay, I… I… yeah, I don't know.
• 1:04:51
  Tyler Johnson: I see what you're saying.
• 1:04:52
  Tad Eggleston: The… the…
• 1:04:53
  Tyler Johnson: I'm just not excited about it.

  Tad Eggleston: bajillion Variant covers? That's a cash grab.
• 1:04:59

• 1:05:03
  Tad Eggleston: The book itself…
• 1:05:06
  Tyler Johnson: Okay, I agree with you, I hear you.
• 1:05:08
  Tad Eggleston: I mean, it's not a cash grab, but it's the type of cash grab that they could have been doing every fucking year forever, and haven't done it since, like…
• 1:05:18
  Tyler Johnson: The 70s.
• 1:05:19
  Tad Eggleston: A LA Avengers in the… what? Late 80s?
• 1:05:24
  Tyler Johnson: 89, yep.
• 1:05:24
  Tad Eggleston: Something like that.
• 1:05:26
  Tyler Johnson: Yo.
• 1:05:27
  Tad Eggleston: So, like, it had been 30 years since the last time they did this cash grab.
• 1:05:32
  Tad Eggleston: But also, we've got collected versions of Orla!

• 1:06:01
  Tyler Johnson: No, I have any issues, yeah. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah. But, but…
• 1:06:05
  Tad Eggleston: They should still read it. If they haven't read it in issues, they should read it.
• 1:06:10
  Tyler Johnson: Why?
• 1:06:10
  Tad Eggleston: If they have read it in issues, they should read it again.
• 1:06:13
  Tyler Johnson: with, my shop, I'm in a position to double buy things, like issues and graphic novels, because I can afford it now. And so, that's been help… that's been very helpful, to be able to, like, go, oh, cool, the graphic novel's out, I'll get that too.
• 1:06:29
  Tad Eggleston: Right. Alright, right.
• 1:06:31
