3:37
Books, and again, like last week, I'm taking the reins doesn't happen
3:43
that often, but when it doo, you know it's gonna be campy.
3:49
Last week we did Carmela and her problematic lesbian campus Love Her. Today we're
3:55
going back to the Mutants, to the X Men. Now, have you
3:59
been seeing or watching on YouTube about this podcast. We started doing episodes or
4:05
third pre recording episodes again, and the first thing we did was House of
4:09
X Powers of ten. So we're going back to the Mutants. We're going
4:13
back to the X Men. We're gonna be following a group of female X
4:17
Men that are in a group called the Exterminators. Now, this is a
4:25
five issue mini series back in the era of Destiny of X and honestly,
4:30
this is some of the best X Men stories, like one of my favorite
4:34
X Men stories I've ever read. It's so good. If you have not
4:39
read The Exterminators, please do yourself a fucking favor and fucking read it.
4:43
The artwork is fantastic, the humor is amazing. The writing, Leo Williams
4:47
your everything. You're a queen icon. I love you, and I love
4:51
that you gave us Azler as a vampire hunter. It's so good, So
4:57
to get into it now they pull out my notes that written down before I
5:02
pull out the book itself and go through page page what happens. We'll not
5:06
page page, but you know what I mean. So this book, the
5:12
main heroes of said book are as follows Jubilee, which we everyone knows Jubilee.
5:19
Then you got Dazzler Boom Boom, and Wolverine not Hank, not Hank,
5:32
not Logan Wolverine Laura Kenny Wolverine now x twenty three, Well she doesn't
5:43
go back to twenty three anymore, but yes, once upon time x twenty
5:46
three. So let me pull up the mutants because I am going to go
5:51
over some of their These particular mutants like power sets, so you can kind
5:57
of get a visual of what I'm talking about, little background on them,
6:01
on the members of the group. So you got Jubilee, which is Jubilation
6:05
Lee. She is a mute, of course she is. She's also a
6:12
fun fact once for this type of for the story. Now her power sets,
6:18
she can make fireworks. She has LOOMI canonic explosive light blasting, which
6:29
basically means she can make fireworks and she can make shields with these as well.
6:38
And she does have a new she does use a new a new attack
6:45
or blast that she can utilize her powers for in this story, but I'm
6:47
not going to spoil it too much because that she makes it known that she
6:53
can do this with her powers, but that's towards the end of the stories.
6:56
We'll get intet when we could cross that. So she can make like
6:59
fireworks and light and little blasts and some of that nature, So that's her
7:03
power set. Then you got Dazzler, which is Alison Blair. She can
7:12
manipulate light or turn. Sorry, she can manipulate light, but she can
7:16
also create light from sound. Dazzler is a disco queen. She makes music
7:23
and she sings and she can turn like their music and singing to light that
7:28
she can manipulate and blaster now she sees fit, so she is a power
7:34
hitter. There's also a whole storyline of her being able to die and come
7:41
back from the dead, which she has done a few times, but they
7:44
never address that. So she's technically immortal air quotes, but she is great.
7:53
She's one of my favorite munes as well. She can use light in
7:57
a different way by manipulating sound like unlike Jubilee. Then we got boom boom.
8:05
Have you heard of boom boom? Yes? She doesn't. She make
8:09
like little beads that can explode. She makes little time bombs. Yes,
8:16
she creates balls of plasma which she can set off and just explode. She's
8:22
also kind of a she's a bimbo, but like in the best way possible.
8:30
Yeah. Love Tabitha Smith. And then of course you got Wolverine Laura
8:35
Kinney, which she pops in halfway through the story, and she's the female
8:41
Wolverine. She's great. So to get into this story. Now, this
8:45
story does not take does not affect any of the other X Men stories of
8:50
this line. It kind of happens in its own little bubble over the course
8:54
of one night. Now, as I was telling Jacob before, and I'm
9:03
sure I might have it in the episode, but if I don't. When
9:07
I open up this book, there's a warning that says this is for mature
9:11
audiences only. It contains crude human alcohol usage, partial nudity, trip effects,
9:16
violence, and some of your favorite mutants acting like absolute dumbasses. Your
9:22
description is deviced. This story is marketed as a grind entered the Grindhouse of
9:30
X So you know those grindhouse films that like Planet Terror or death Proof,
9:37
or it's just those two. There's a bunch of other films. I just
9:41
change on askers a grindhouse film. This is a grindhouse X Men comic book.
9:48
It's gory, it's funny, and it's campy as hell, and it's
9:54
one of my personal favorites. And I'll always talk good about this book.
9:58
If someone wants to good entry pointing to the X Men or the Mutants as
10:01
a whole, I will hand them this bug bug Read it. You're gonna
10:05
love it. It's gonna be great. So the this movie, huh movie.
10:13
First panel, you see when the story starts, you see Dazzler's ass,
10:16
Allison's ass, and she's skating around, chewing bubblegum and skating in blood
10:24
as she is destroying mutants, not mutants, destroying vampires with her light powers.
10:31
And she's just skating around roll of the skates, acting like a boss.
10:35
Right now, we jumped back because this story, throughout the whole story,
10:41
she's she and the other girls are all talking to the Council, the
10:45
Quiet Council, Kurkoha as they're being tried by them, and they're explaining this
10:52
whole story as it happens, So we'll be jumping back and forth between the
10:58
story that's happening, as well as talking to the Quiet Council about what happened,
11:03
So it kind of jumps back and forth. But the story starts off
11:05
with Dazzler or Alison breaking up. She is throwing his stuff out of the
11:15
apartment. She's destroying his record collection and she is really ripping him a new
11:20
one because he cheated on her. And she's like, now, fuck your
11:22
shit, get the fuck out of this house. You're done here. She
11:24
draws all his records and kicks him out. Then she calls up Jubilee and
11:33
she basically says, hey, I need a girl's night. I broke up
11:37
my boyfriend. I need a girl's night. So Jubilee gets her boom boom,
11:43
and they made up with Dazzler at a bar. Now. The bar's
11:46
name is mister Bees Bar, a karaoke night wins. They have like a
11:50
whole flyer on it on the page like mister Bees Bar, Karaoke Night,
11:54
Wednesday's Ladies Drink Free seven pm. Now they all come up to this bar.
12:00
Now everyone is wearing pretty normal clothing except for Boom Boom Boom Boom is
12:05
walking in with a short, short mini dress that has hearts all over it.
12:09
Her tits are out, and she's wearing big old pigtails, high platform
12:13
shoes, stockings that go up to the knee, and pigtails, they say,
12:20
pigtails. Oh, heart shaped glasses, heart shaped pink glasses. She's
12:24
looking like a straight up bimbo. And she's working at Honey. She is
12:28
serving and I ate and we continue work. Love it. Yeah, boom
12:37
Boom walks in. She's like, you dumb bitches. Some of these lines
12:41
are great. But they're in the bar drinking and having fun and they're dancing
12:45
the music and then they start feeling weird and boom boom Tapa that passes out.
12:52
First, they're like, what's going on and they see Alex Alison aka
13:01
Dazzler's ex boyfriend. Turns out he's a vampire, and they're like what right,
13:09
right, Oh, it gets words. There's some tea with Alex.
13:11
Oh, so Alex turns out to use a vampire and they're like, what
13:16
the fuck are you doing? And they got drugged and then they pass out
13:20
and then they wake up. Well, of course they pass out but like
13:24
they start beating their ass. Tabitha Boom Boom's out for the count, but
13:31
Jubilee and Dazzler try their hardest to fight off the vampires, and Dazzler uses
13:37
obviously these are two mutants that use light as a power and that's not good
13:41
for vampires. So they get those ship beat out of them a little bit,
13:45
and they do eventually do pass out, and then we jump to Tabitha
13:50
Boom Boom. She wakes up on this wooden bridge ledge piece of wood,
13:56
floaming in this murky green water as she is then grabbed by this vampiric shark
14:03
beast thing and it starts attacking her, and then she throws a plasma wall
14:07
into this creature's mouth and an explode and the head explodes, blood splattering everywhere,
14:13
and they're like, what the fuck? And she's amongst this floating swamp
14:18
like place, on this block of wood as these other shark like abominations are
14:24
tailing her and she's fighting them off. Then we jump to Jubilee. She's
14:30
on a monster truck. She's driving a monster truck as she's running away from
14:33
other monster trucks that are monsters. Fun right, monstruc really hey, as
14:41
these other monsters and creatures and people are driving these monster trucks and their goals
14:46
are trying to kill her. So she is like busting a hole in the
14:48
ground and shit, and she's trying to drive around for her state, trying
14:52
to save her dear life. And then we jump to Dazzler, and Dazzler
14:56
is in this maze of she's in a dark, pitch black place and she's
15:01
in this maze that's like never ending. As she's walking around, she's trying
15:07
to use her light to guide her way, but she does alert these vampiric
15:13
I don't know if they're a vampire, but these monsters are tailing her and
15:18
it's because she's using her light to try and see so they're able to find
15:22
her. And then she drives her she rhymes around and she's trying to she
15:28
finds this poor little creature in a cage as she she lets out and she
15:31
said, we're gonna get out of here together. Let's both get the hell
15:35
out of here. And during all this, as she's getting this little creature
15:37
out of the cage, wej'm back to Boom Boom as she is wrecking these
15:43
monsters' asses she's blowing heads, She's blown these swamp creatures to pieces as she's
15:50
getting like covered in blood and shit, and she's so basically kind of come
15:56
back to her as she's handling that problem. And then she believe busts into
16:00
the room on her monster truck and she basically drives over and she picks up
16:04
Boom Boom and Boom Boom again is drenched dripping the blood of these monsters as
16:10
she was blowing up as a horde of them are traveling running after Boom Boom.
16:17
She gets on the monster truck and between Boom Boom and Jubilee, they're
16:21
like taking out these monsters, blowing shit up the fireworks or her pasma bombs,
16:27
and then we jump back to Dazzler as Dazzler has this poor little baby
16:37
creature and she is running around trying to get away from these horde of green
16:45
monsters and she has the baby and she's like, I'm sorry about this,
16:51
and she just throws the baby in the air. She's like, well,
16:52
ah, well, She's like I'm gonna toss this baby, toss this little
16:56
creature out, and that's when Boom Boom and Jubilee crashing to the maze,
17:07
So you're kind of getting the idea that there are multiple rooms in this place
17:11
and they're all big rooms and they have different little obstacles, different creatures,
17:15
monsters and all that stuff, and they're like, what the hell is going
17:18
on here? So they're driving around on a goddamn monster truck going through the
17:22
maze and they see Dad's where Allison shine her light and shit as they're crashing
17:27
through the maze, like the walls are nothing, crushing through them and then
17:33
boom boom makes this very large almost like a sun, and tell my bomb
17:37
that she just throws out and explodes and kills a bunch of these monsters as
17:42
blood and guts are fly everywhere and they pick up Allison and I get in
17:48
lose or we're going to therapy. That was said by Jubilee, And I
17:53
want that tattooed on me. Want tattoo of that because that's that. There's
18:00
a lot of iconic panels in this story, and that is one of them.
18:03
Like Dazzler is on a pile of these monsters corpses as she's covered in
18:07
blood, and then Jibilee just drives up. It's like can can lose?
18:11
We're going to therapy and Dazzler catches the beast. She threw them up in
18:21
the air. They handled the situation, and then she catches it and they
18:25
all get into the monster drug. Then they're going they're trailing, They're trailing
18:32
through the maze, trying to find trying to find a goddamn egs, Like,
18:34
what the fuck is going on here? And when they finally do stop,
18:40
you get a scene of Boom Boom throwing up, her throwing up what
18:45
she drank earlier because they were drying around like they were crazy. And then
18:51
when they're surrounded, they're like, we're surrounded by something. Someone's coming and
18:55
you find out it's Wolverine. Laura Kenney shows up at this location. You're
19:02
like, what, how'd you get here? Because they realized they're in some
19:07
other place that they were drugged by the vampire by Alex and they're like,
19:11
how did you get here? And Laura was like, oh, hi,
19:11
I've been here for like two days. I was drugged too. They ambushed
19:15
me and they brought me here like two days ago, and they're all like,
19:18
what the fuck? What the fuck's going on here? So Laura joins
19:22
them. The artwork in this book is just Chef's kiss so good, and
19:30
then we jumped to the Quiet Council where they're in the middle of the tables
19:34
of the Quiet Council in front of the Quiet Council and they're all explaining the
19:38
story and Xaviers like, Tabitha, I've already explained this. It's not a
19:44
trial and be cause they they're like, explain what happened. But they're all
19:49
like, oh, we're putting on trial. And they's like, you're not
19:52
on trial though, and it's like now it's it's like that could have folded
19:56
me. So I feel like they have to plead their case when reality because
20:02
they're restrained right now in front of the Kai Council. So they're like,
20:04
if we're not on trial, then why are we in this particulmar like this?
20:12
And apparently there was a uh Emma chimes in and Emma tells them,
20:19
well, you're the stuff that you did caused the war to break out within
20:26
the Vampire nation, no less, so this is why you are set before
20:30
us, and you have to explain yourself because you start a war within the
20:34
vampire the world of vampires on Earth, and you're just like what he's like
20:41
what's going on here? And of course they're in costumes, by the way,
20:44
Alison san chierleer costume, jibiles and like a schoolgirl costume from like a
20:48
Japanese anime. Fucking Laura uh is in a witch costume, and Boom Boom
20:56
is in like a clown girl costume. It's weird and you don't get an
21:00
explanation on why they're in these costumes right now, but you will soon.
21:07
Any questions or concerns before I continue, check up? No, please do
21:11
carry on? Oh lovely. So we jump back to the story at hand
21:17
as they're explaining it, and they notice that there's an audience of people watching
21:22
them from these stands out in the distance. There's just a bunch of vampires.
21:26
They're like, what the fuck, we got an audience? Cool?
21:29
Whatever. Then there's a lot of interactions that they're trying to figure out what
21:33
the hell is going on, blah blah blah, and then they see then
21:37
we jump to people watching these girls on screen on a screen and you see
21:42
that's Alex and a bunch of these high level vampires. Can you find out
21:48
a little about Alex. Turns out Alex is the grandson to Dracula in the
21:55
Marvel universe. That's gonna cost problem. His father is Exorus, which is
22:03
the son of Dracula, so he is a great direct relation to Dracula in
22:07
his line, and for whatever reason, he's doing all this shit. And
22:11
I'm sure you come to find out that the vampires don't see this too kindly
22:15
because he's causing Alex al al hex is causing a lot of turmoil amongst the
22:22
vampires as well as Krakoa and other races, the fay, et cetera.
22:30
So from there, he's having an altercation with his father, Exoris, and
22:36
basically the altercation is basically his father is telling Alex quit playing with your fucking
22:41
food, take care of the problem, and his father's getting roll impatient with
22:45
him and starts slamming him around, and Alex is like, we got a
22:51
plan. It's fine, Everything's gonna work out. Then the girls are then
22:57
by Barnet with fucking mirrors that shoot out of the ground that make another another
23:03
little maze, and one of the mirrors comes up and cuts off Laura's arm.
23:10
Laura loses an arm apparently, and the crowd roars with Tissa patient and
23:17
they're put into this like this weird cubicle situation with glass and mirrors as Laura
23:23
is again lost in arm mind June. And of course Laura is a healer,
23:30
so she can I can't remember she wrote back her arm or if they
23:34
put the arm back, he'll reattach. By the point is she's she'll be
23:38
fine in no time because they're a healing factor like Logans, because if you
23:41
didn't know, she's a clone of Logan, clone slash daughters the whole thing
23:48
there. But this is if you want an episode on Laura, go listen
23:52
to the House of Ideas, which is not a podcast on combo characters.
23:56
And I did a whole episode on Laura. Kenny No did an episode on
24:00
one of the other characters, another character connected to the Laura. But we
24:03
got a little backstory on Laura. But nonetheless that would be in a description
24:08
below. You want to listen to that. So if you want more information
24:11
on Laura. Now back to the story. They're in this mirror place as
24:18
these copies mirror images of them start coming out of these glass panes and walls,
24:23
and they start fighting each other or fighting themselves. There's like hundreds of
24:29
these copies of them mirror images of them as they're kicking each other's ass and
24:33
shit getting their ass beat. They can't take them all out. So they
24:38
get the idea that because every time they look in the mirror, reflection comes
24:44
out sad mirror. So you're like, okay, cool, we gotta blind
24:47
ourselves. So they take pieces of their clothes and they make blindfolds of them
24:53
because if they're not looking at the mirrors, no reflections, the more reflections
24:57
will come out. So let me double check that. Actually, yeah,
25:11
they have to blind themselves from the double gangers because they're not getting a headway
25:18
finding them. So from there they jump back to Alex, who is using
25:23
a fay. He's using a certain type of fairy that is nothing more than
25:29
a big piece of glass and diamond that can reflect make dumble gangers and ship.
25:33
So that he's using this thing, this porfeit as a pond to make
25:37
those double gangers, and you come to find out that the nose will spoil
25:45
it. Now, the place they are at is a Fay construct, So
25:51
a bunch of Fay and other creatures trapped here in this little fortress place,
25:56
and Alex is not doing stuff necessarily of his own volition. He is working
26:02
for somebody who do we know in the Marvel universe that likes to collect monsters
26:07
and shit. Ah gee, I wonder who put a pen in that?
26:11
Because you're probably right if you guessed. So jump to Alex as him and
26:17
a bunch of other vampires decided to join in the Fray. Now, let
26:21
me tell you this artwork in this book is fabulous. And you get a
26:23
group of vampires. He puts on a suit of armor. You got two
26:27
female vampires that look just so good I want a whole book zeriled in around
26:33
them. And you get a third one, another male who is decked out
26:37
in these pointy spiky armor with long white hair, And I'm just like,
26:42
can I get a book on these guys because this looks like? This looks
26:45
lit? So they basically join in the Fray to try to take out Dazzler
26:51
in them themselves. As they're taking out the mirrors, they are then get
26:56
bitten by these vampires. They start biting them, slashing them, cutting them
27:02
and whatever else. And then that's when they notice that they're not alone here,
27:07
there's other vampires and shit. Then we jump back to the Quiet Council
27:11
as they continue on kind of chiming with them and get the opinions from the
27:17
Quiet Council what's happening. Xavier is very uncomfortable with this story and how it's
27:25
playing out, in the way they're dressed and shit, it's kind of uncomfy.
27:30
We get some interaction between them as well as we see the Fay that
27:33
came along with them. So when Dazzler and the rest of the group came
27:37
back, they brought a bunch of the Fay with them because a bunch of
27:40
Fay were trapped on this structure, and they're like, what are we going
27:45
to do with the Fay. Then we jump back to the issue. Alex
27:53
is talking to the Fay this glass, let's fame made a glass, and
28:03
he's trying to find a way to handle the problem because Dazzler and them are
28:07
all taking They're killing bitches and taking names. Then they start fighting. They
28:11
realized about the vampires and they start fighting them. Boom boom love her.
28:17
She takes one of the plasma plasma bombs and shoves it down one of the
28:22
vampire's throats and the vampire's head explodes like a zip so he forced she force
28:30
feeds on the bomb, and it's it's great, it's great. Vampires.
28:37
The vampires got checked very grindhouse. Oh, very grindhouse. Uh. They
28:42
all get there, they all get their asses beat by like Wolverine, because
28:47
Wolverine slashes her claws her fist through one of the vampire's chests, like straight
28:52
up, like there's a big old, gaping hole in a vampire now and
28:56
the crowd is going wild for the destruction and death of everything. And Dazzler
29:03
gets an idea. She's hearing sound. Now what do we know about Dazzler?
29:07
She us a sound and converts it into light she can use to fuck
29:14
up. So she gets the crowd crowd rolling, She's like, who's having
29:18
She yells out to the groundho's having a good time tonight and the crowds woo
29:23
and she's like, I can't hear you, and the crowd gets crazier.
29:29
And with that her powers ignite like a bomb of light, and she fucks
29:34
the vampires up with uh with the light that she's converting from the sound of
29:40
the crowd. Then when she takes out the vampire, she finds an exit.
29:48
You get the hell out of there, or they try to find and
29:49
get the help. They try to find a way to get out there.
29:51
They're like, wait a minute, cool, we're in a we're in a
29:53
place of glass. What can we do to get out of here? Boom
29:57
Boom gets an idea or boom Boom is used as the as the ploy to
30:04
break the glass. So she they do a countdown from three to one for
30:15
her to send out some explosives to blast a hole in the glass structure.
30:19
How she does this? How does she do this? You may ask,
30:22
Well, she undos her top and she lets out her girls, her boobs.
30:30
When she drops the top and her boobs are revealed, two bombs immerse
30:34
from her boobs blast out of her tits, and she because you get this
30:41
great shot of her top flying around everywhere and her tit and there's this big
30:45
explosions that are coming out of her boobs, and she blasts a hole in
30:48
his glass structure as she is like making an exit way for them, almost
30:55
like a nuke. It's great, it's great. Wow, my description of
31:00
this is not doing his justice. You have to look at it for yourself.
31:04
I've never seen bombs pop out. It's hits like that. It's almost
31:07
takes extreme as in plant terror where a girl takes a machine gun attaches it
31:12
to her leg because she's missing a leg. And that's great too, I
31:18
love Grindhouse. So they're shattering glass and there, and they finally got their
31:23
way out of there, and of course the glass is flying out into the
31:26
crowd of vampires watching, and they're really just at this point fucking shit up
31:32
on these vampires. Then they find the fa the fay that was controlling Alex
31:38
was controlling that is made of glass, and they release him accordingly, and
31:44
Alex is like, well, shit, we're fucked. And then we see
31:48
the girls get taken up to this structure and you come to find out that
31:57
Alex is working for somebody, working for somebody that because he promised his person
32:04
entertainment. Who is this person that he is working for, nothing more than
32:09
the Collector. And if you know, if you watch Anyymcu films, you
32:14
know about the Collector with this hoass. So the Collector is a person and
32:21
alien elder of the universe who loves to collect things. Start off a little
32:25
trinkets, artifacts and then turned into alien species. He loves to collect everything.
32:31
And this whole structure, fade like structure is built so he can watch
32:38
Alex make these hunger stall game events with these creatures and these aliens of the
32:45
collector has collected over the years. Want to watch them fight for his own
32:50
entertainment. That's fucked up, but let them fight to the death. But
32:57
you know, as we know about the collector, that's that's in his bandwagon,
33:00
that's right up as Alley. That sounds like something he would do.
33:04
So when I found out someone first saw this that Alex is working with a
33:07
collector, and I'm like, I'm not surprised. That sounds about right.
33:10
So uh. From there, the girls break into this facility and they see
33:15
a bunch of these other women, these other characters that the collector has gathered
33:22
over the years, and they're all in different Halloween costumes and shit. And
33:27
that's where they get the idea of changing into these costumes that they're wearing when
33:30
they're presented by presented to the WHA Council, all these Halloween costumes and shit,
33:37
because all these all these alien women are wearing like cat suits or sailor
33:42
uniforms, cowboy uniforms, fucking a chicken suit, Captain America, spider Man,
33:47
like you name it. They're wearing it, so they find some extra
33:50
clothes because their stuff is covered in blood, and basically when they see Alex
33:54
are like, you're gonna wish she never did this. We're gonna find you.
33:58
We're gonna fuck you up. And he's like, because you kidnapped us,
34:01
you took us against our will to hear. Yeah, now we're gonna
34:05
fuck you up. So then Alison and Alex get into an argument because Alex
34:09
got dumped and he didn't like that he got dumped, so he did all
34:13
this because he doesn't like getting dumped. And Alison's like her dadlers like,
34:16
you cheated on me? What the fuck do you think I was gonna do?
34:21
And Alex is basically doing order to get revenge. Now, Alex is
34:28
wearing an amulet around his neck. It's ambulant, makes it makes him able
34:35
to stand out in sunlight. Now to get more information on seid amlet let
34:43
me find the Sunlight Pendant. The Sunlight Pendant is a pendant that was created
34:51
by a sector of vampires, enabling vampires to walk in the daylight and begin
34:54
to attempt to take over the world. That's what they were initially useful.
35:00
So he was able to stand out in sunlight because he has one of these
35:02
ambulance that was obviously probably given to him either by his father or his grandfather.
35:13
Now Dazler makes it a parent that she's gonna get out of here and
35:16
I'm gonna fuck you up, and he's like, yeah, Nah, that's
35:20
not gonna happen, because I'm working with a collector. Y'all fucked y'all stuck
35:23
here, y'all just gonna be the little chest pieces to his little fucked up
35:25
game. And they're like, no, no, we're not. So they
35:30
get their change of their clothes and they do find a way out of said
35:36
facility by with the help of the fee. They travel around the facility,
35:42
gathering all the fay and shit they can, and they find exit. And
35:45
when they get the exit, they end up right in the middle of Krakoa,
35:51
right in the middle of a baseball football game, and everyone's like either
35:57
shirtless or wearing skimpy outfits and shit like you guts of Gambit shirtless, And
36:04
let me tell you, it's quite nice. Whoever drew this get I'm not
36:08
well seeing who drew Who is the artist for this? Carlos Gomez, thank
36:14
you for contributing to the shirtlessness of Gambit and his apps and giving us a
36:22
rogue and her Daisy Dukes, thank you, thank you. You should get
36:29
an oscar for that. And Emma is sitting there with the steph for Coacuos
36:32
and they're wearing sunglasses and joining the show because they're like, we're not gonna
36:37
get involved in physical activity. You're crazy. I'm in my fucking frost.
36:40
I don't do physical activity. And then of course to all of the Fee
36:45
and the four and the mutants all just fly out of the sky and they're
36:49
like, what the book is this? And then that's where they're brought before
36:52
the council to explain what the fuck is happening here because this is questionable.
36:58
Then Dracula shows up on Kurcoa. Dracula, the Vampire King himself shows up
37:10
at their not trial and he basically says, Dracula shows up, and he
37:35
talks to kind of approaches the group and I'm trying to find so they basically
37:46
said, they're all traders. So all the vampires that were there at that
37:50
facility are basically all traders, and they had bounties on them and they're basically
37:54
kind of tyrants, and so he's not there to be like, oh,
37:59
you killed them, he killed my kind. I'm gonna push you. Nah.
38:01
He wants to find his grandson because his grandson is wanted. Al Heck's
38:07
son of Exoris, grandson of Dracula, is hereby excommunicated from the vampire nation.
38:13
He is wanted by his grandfather, and his grandfather intends to drag his
38:21
ass back home to be handled accordingly. But Dazzler's like, na, na,
38:27
na, nana, you owe me. I fucking went through all this
38:30
shit because of your fucking grandson, and he did some very questionable shit,
38:37
and that was like, you fucking owe me. You owe me a boon,
38:40
And Dracula is like a boon for money. It's like, nah,
38:44
I don't want money. Nah. He's like, I want the boone.
38:47
But he's like a a boone? You say you have you? Yes,
38:52
I have a favor to ask of you. Well, child, what is
38:54
it? I want DIBs? This is what Dazzler says. He's like,
39:00
So we jumped to Alex flirting with another girl in the bar that they were
39:05
at the beginning, right, and then Dazzler and a bunch of these other
39:08
women these other fae come walking up and it turns out the dibbs that she
39:16
was wanting. She wanted to take care of Alex before dragging the guy's grammy
39:21
little hands on him. She's like, I want to deal with him first.
39:24
I want first dibbs. Then you could pick up the rest. If
39:29
he survives, Dracula agrees, and if they all get basically brought to Captain
39:37
Britton, which is Betsy Braddock and her girlfriend Rachel Lesbians. If you haven't,
39:45
If you haven't not read the Excalibur series for the X Men Run New
39:51
x Men Run, please do so. It's so good. Really other World.
39:55
Oh it's so good. I love it. And I love Betsy and
40:00
she's a lesbian with Rachel Summers. Oh so good. I love it.
40:07
So all the figure brought over to Betsy and Rachel and they're like, well,
40:09
we're gonna have to bring you all back to basically, well, we
40:13
could take you all back to the other world, and then from there we
40:17
jumped to the bar again and we left off on the last issue. This
40:21
is last issue five Dazzlered Amunchies. Other women come into the bar and Ale's
40:27
like, oh, what are you doing here? And Daza looks over to
40:30
these two female vampire bartenders and she's like, my problem's not with you.
40:35
You were just hired goons for Alex. You're free to go. And these
40:39
two vampire vampires like they pieced the fucker, like cut about our problems.
40:45
So they fucking pack up their shit and they leave, and I was like,
40:47
yeah, you're trespassing on my property. And he's like what the bar
40:59
and we did and he's like what And she's like, yeah, we're here
41:02
on demulation day and you're in the way, so we're gonna fuck you up.
41:07
So he's going around Dazzler and these women are destroying the bar and attacking
41:13
Alex, and Dazler's like, what's wrong, bab So good. Then we
41:20
jumped to Wolverine beaten the shit of the Collector, like kicked to the face,
41:27
claws like fall on, just beating the shell of the collector. And
41:30
then the Collector becomes this cosmic alien thing. I mean, because the Collector
41:36
is an alien, he's on a human y'all. He's like Margarine. Then
41:39
we jumped back to the bar where Alex is getting his shit kicked out of
41:43
him. It's so great because it's oh so in pant picture. He's running
41:47
in the darkness, right, and he's surrounded by pitch black darkness of the
41:52
night, the dark of the night, and he's like what and then he
41:54
sees a crystal ball with a bunch of lights flashing around, and then Dazzler
41:59
appear years behind him with a creepy face. She's like, huh, Bill,
42:05
because Dazzler's is worse fucking she catches up. Dazzler catches up to him
42:08
and starts being the ship. Then we jump back to the Collector and uh,
42:15
the Wolf and Wolverine as they're fighting the Collector is now this kite you
42:19
level alien as uh, they are fighting, let's see basically he she makes
42:31
it where makes it easier for the other creatures to get the hell out.
42:38
So basically the she basically got the Collector destroyed his own ship, and then
42:44
she high tails the al there she teleports out of that ship back to Earth,
42:50
and then we jump to these aliens that come through with a teleportation as
42:55
Dazzler is lighting up like a goddamn disco ball. Light is flashing everywhere and
43:00
she becomes pure light at this point, and she is beating the ship out
43:06
of Alex. She's raising, she's doing the whole air splits. She puts
43:10
her foot up with roller skates straight up in the air and slams down his
43:14
skull and beats his goddamn ass. She destroys these monsters and fucking skates around
43:23
in blood and guts of her enemies. And then we go back to Jubilee
43:30
and Boom Boom as they're helping fight off the collector. Jubilee gets an idea,
43:36
and this is where the new ability comes in with Jubilee. She becomes
43:43
an atomic bomb. She lights up like a Christmas tree, and she explodes
43:47
at the on the ship and she blows up the ship and she comes crashing
43:53
down to Earth. But she approached before doing this. She asks Magic to
44:10
do something, and she'd say basically telling her she's fighting all these monsters,
44:16
or they're gonna be fighting all these monsters. We found this down in a
44:22
fighting pit when we were trapped imagine being abandoned in the hell, defenseless,
44:28
young alone, and was like that's and not dazzler. Magic's like that's enough,
44:31
I'm in and she basically gets a hold of Jubilee when she's crashing down
44:40
to Earth now when she decides to become nuclear and atomic bomb herself. Jubilee
44:49
comes back and she's hairless. She has no hair on her head, no
44:52
eyebrows, no nothing, She's just a nude body and she gets all her
44:55
clothes and she's just now sitting in a bar bald and we leave off with
45:02
the girls as Magic is taking the baby demon that Dazzler saved earlier. She's
45:08
taken the demon back to Limbo, or the little Beastie, as Magic put
45:13
it. So she takes the little Beastie back to Limbo with her, and
45:17
we're left with the three with the four girls Boom Boom, Dazzlergibilee, and
45:22
now Wolverine in the bar and they're like, what are we going to do
45:27
now? And we jumped to this one little panel of Wolverine going, it's
45:31
beer o'clock sluts. I laughed a little too hard at that little panel right
45:39
there, and then they spend the night drinking, and that is based at
45:45
the end of the book. All that happened after the whole interaction with the
45:53
Quiet Council and then when Iras laughed, Draga get his hands on and that
46:01
is the five issue miniseries known as the Exterminators and honestly one of my favorite
46:09
X Men comics effort because it's so fucking good. You get a little glimbs
46:14
at the Vampires of Earth Marvel six one six, which Dracula does have a
46:21
history of history in the Marvel universe. He has his own little mini series
46:25
and shit from the Tomb of Dracula from like the seventies and eighties and shit.
46:30
So I've been slowly getting through that run of Draculas. I kind of
46:36
want to see how Dracula fits in the world of Marvel. That's been my
46:42
own personal journey. But this, this is good. Yeah, that's the
46:46
story of the Exterminators. Any questions or concerns, comments, take it very
46:54
grind house, Oh so good. We went from vampire hunts to aliens to
47:00
alien kied you just like it's all over the place. And then Dracula appeared
47:07
on Kurcola and then Dazzler being like, I want I want your fucking grandson's
47:10
head on silver platter, I want DIBs, I get first dips because that's
47:15
a bitch and beat his ass and she does. Yeah, but yeah,
47:22
vampires in the world of Marvel is very interesting. And especially since like uh,
47:29
Jubilee was a vampire for a while for quite a while for those of
47:32
you who didn't know. Oh wow, oh ah wow. Now there is
47:39
no movie of this book or series animated series, which god, I wish
47:45
there was. This is so good. The closest thing I could say to
47:52
a movie anywhere close to The Exterminators is The Blade Move The Blade movie that's
47:58
coming out soon within an next year or two more from the MCU, which
48:02
I'm real excited for because I love vampires in the Marvel universe. It's so
48:08
good. There's a whole like nation of them, whole hierarchy and way rules
48:15
that they live by set up by Dracula and ship. It's very interesting.
48:22
Yeah, yeah, I can't wait. Man, there's so many Marvel movies.
48:30
Well, okay, there's only one Marvel movie coming out at the end
48:34
of the towards the end of the year, and that's The Marvels. I'm
48:39
excited for that one too. I'm excited to see more Photon a lover see
48:47
what more Photson Oh Photon Yeah. Yeah. Mona Rambo Monica Rambo Monica Rambo.
48:59
She and her mom have like ms and her Nick in their names.
49:00
So yeah, I went mind seeing her as Photon. I wentn't mind seeing
49:06
her as Spectrum Captain. I mean, she's technically the first Captain Marvel female
49:10
Captain Marvel technically, but not in the NCU. Yeah, because she has
49:15
that man before Carol Over did. Actually, I think she was the first
49:20
person that had that name before even Captain Marvel came into the picture. Wow.
49:27
Yeah, but I know Monic Caranda has Spectrum now as the because when
49:30
I first came into comics, that's where I knew her as because she was
49:34
on the series known as The Ultimates, where the Ultimates were a group of
49:37
superheroes that dealt with the cosmic problems, not the Ultimate franchise, whereas the
49:43
Ultimate Universe just the group was known as the Ultimates. But she was in
49:46
that. I want them to bring in when the girl bring in Blue Marvel,
49:51
that's her lover, for God's sakes, when bringing him in, I'm
49:55
pretty sure they're gonna bring him in very soon. I hope so I do
50:01
too. He's really cool. He's uh, you bring in Blue Marvel,
50:07
You're gonna bring in the Ante man. Oh God, yes, because they
50:13
both have at the same time through their little experimental accident or whatever. Still
50:17
good, but yes, go check out this book. It's five issues long.
50:21
It's very long. It's very short, does it. You don't need
50:23
to know anything else that's happening in the Marvel universe when it comes to mutants
50:28
because it's very isolated story. It's not it doesn't really affect anything outside of
50:32
it, or take anything outside of this into the book. So it's kind
50:38
of a standalone except for the Choiet Council. You might you might you might
50:44
want to know who the Choid Council is or a co op outside that.
50:46
You don't even know anything else. It's a fun little read. And I
50:52
finally bought myself a copy of it because I wrote I read it digitally for
50:55
the longest time, and I'm like, I need to buy a copy a
51:00
little bit of money. Oh yeah, it must have been like fourteen bucks.
51:02
I'm like, at me, it was a little copy of this ship,
51:05
because this ship deserves to be in my library. Period. So yes,
51:13
that will end our month of vampires. This was fun. I love
51:21
vampires. Yeah, yeah, I wanted to do something different and we did.
51:30
We did some vampires and now maybe we gotta have a month of werewolves.
51:36
We do need a month of werewolves. Like, I just can't think
51:39
of any werewolf movies that I've read, were wolf movies that you've read.
51:45
Yes, you mean werewolf books. I stand by my statement. I'm like
51:50
your statement. I stand by my words. Well, I'm sure we can
51:53
find some We could we could schedule a werewolf month in the future, and
51:58
I'm sure we can find some books between now and then of the plan one
52:00
out. Yeah, you know, I think I've already found something. It's
52:07
called Wolf's Song. Oh, I do have that one on my nok Actually,
52:13
do you have it? Yeah, it's a digital copy you have?
52:21
Is it by T? J? Clue? Is it? Okay? Is
52:24
the cover red like in red letter it's like in red lettering. The one
52:29
I'm looking at is in like a teal in green. It's called wolf Song
52:32
by T. J. Clune. Okay, let me let me pull out
52:37
my nock rack quick, oh my by Okay, turn it on. Uh
52:45
uh huh sex chuck huh. Five year old, shut the fuck up.
53:00
I know I'm older than you, you're older than me, but you act
53:05
like a child. Oh you're on the talk your little puns and ship,
53:15
you know, I never liked I never liked puns, but I am surrounded
53:21
by people that just throw them at me left and right. I've done no
53:25
such thing. Well let's see, there's my brother, there's my dad,
53:31
there's Bradley, and there's quite a few other people I just love throwing them
53:42
my way. So now it is my life missions to find and just read
53:50
y'all just the worst puns I can think of. Yeah, and you've all
54:00
brought this on yourself. I didn't bring this on myself. How did I
54:04
bring this on to myself? Because I'm friends with you? Because I got
54:07
close to you? Is that what? Yes? Because you got your your
54:12
just collateral damage at this point? Oh wow? Alrighty, what is this
54:16
book called? Oh no, it's not that book, but it's called The
54:23
Where Wolf? But where is w e h R? Okay? Interesting,
54:34
it's apparently an Amazon original story. It's an audiobook. Okay, I'm sure
54:44
we could find were wolf stuff. There's a lot of i mean, gay
54:47
books. There's were wolves everywhere. Well, okay, so let's see.
54:57
Wolf Song isn't exactly uh a were wolf novel. Wolf Song is like a
55:06
shape shifter novel that they shifters. Yeah, they turn in. They do
55:10
turn into wolves, so I guess you can consider them were wolves, but
55:15
they would be more like the Twilight were wolves shape shifters, just shape shifters.
55:23
Uh. I have now been thinking about it. Technically, we're not
55:30
gonna do twice. We're not gonna talk about Twilight. We could that maybe
55:35
eventually. I thought about doing that for this month, but I didn't want
55:38
to. I didn't want to put you you guys do that. This is
55:40
our Halloween themed month, which is why we did vampires and Twilight vampires are
55:50
not Halloween worthy. Yeah, they're not. Oh on the no, I
56:00
hope everybody has a great Halloween this year because I know I am Grandad's time
56:07
recording this. We're in August, but let me tell you Halloween season starts
56:09
August first. Baby, I'm already ready. I'm waiting for Starbucks to give
56:16
my fucking salted caramel mochas because if I don't get Starbucks, you're gonna hear
56:22
from me. That's my shit, that's my white girl drink. Okay.
56:28
People always talking about pumpkinspies. Nah, fuck that shit. I want my
56:30
salted camera mooga. Iist, thank you. I take my ice coffee very
56:40
seriously here on this podcast, because of course, does that make me a
56:49
big, big faggot? Yes does, yes does most certainly does. No
56:53
qualms, no shame here. Nice coffee is life. Who the fuck drinks
57:00
hot coffee? Those are the fucking weirdos. Yeah, as I say,
57:07
you talk to somebody who drinks hot coffee, I drink. I feel like
57:12
hot coffee is better for waking you up in the morning and want cold coffee,
57:15
like ice coffee is better throughout the leg later on in the day.
57:20
That's a good way of thinking. It's a good way of thinking. And
57:24
I'm not gonna lie. Sometimes I drink hot coffee. Sometimes I feel a
57:29
real real like mm in a mood, I'll drink coffee black. Eh.
57:38
Yes, I'm sorry. I know it's weird, but I have. It's
57:44

57:47

58:50
Stephen King wrote a graphic novel called Cycle of the Werewolves. He wrote
58:55
a graphic novel since fucking win hold up? Uh, since twenty nineteen he
59:05
did? Oh my god? So now here, I am looking for werewolf
59:16
novels to read because, aside from Wolf's Song, which I'm planning on buying,
59:23
I think the only other book that had werewolves in it was The Twilight
59:28
Saga and The Demonada, but it was not but they were not werewolf centric,
59:37
huh, which I am now as I think about it, I'm now
59:42
ashamed of myself for not actually or not have buying. I have not read
59:49
any actual werewolf books aside from smock ah aside smite, wow, yeah,
59:57
yes you heard it here. I read werewolves? Are we you read werewolfs?
1:00:01
Smut? Real, friend, I've read werewolf smut. I'm not currently
1:00:07
reading any, you know, I do need some good smut in my life.
1:00:13
Like there's there were a few that I was reading for a good for
1:00:17
a good while, but then like the either I lost track of them or
1:00:23
the authors just stopped writing them. And then more authors started writing more and
1:00:28
more werewolf smut, and they were all literally the same premise, and I'm
1:00:31
like, yeah, this is trash, trash, and don't you worry,
1:00:40
ladies and gents and others. We're not going to talk about werewolf smut on
1:00:44
this podcast. We could who We're not. No, no, we're not.
1:00:53
It's take Up gonna write his own werewolf smut. He probably has.
1:00:58
I have not. Really, I would have thought you were wrote spot.
1:01:02
You seem like the writing smut type. I have not you read writing smutt
1:01:07
and secret in secret of course, because you probably die if I don't have
1:01:15
the patience for it. Oh damn. I'm just looking through all my like
1:01:22
like my collection of books now, I'm just like, like, I've read
1:01:27
werewolves stuff. There's gotta be werewolf stuff. I mean, okay, so
1:01:32
yeah, I stand by my earlier statement. I have read books that had
1:01:36
were wolves in them. But they were all not centric on the werewolves.
1:01:40
It was either like the Twilight Saga, the Mortal Instruments, the Demon Nada,
1:01:46
books that were wolves appear in, but they are not the central figures.
1:01:55
Uh yeah, yeah, mm hmm. I was correct. There are
1:02:06
no books that I currently possess that have wear wolves in it, so I'm
1:02:09
gonna need to rectify that. It's gonna be a while though. Yeah,
1:02:14
Like, I'm not really gonna go ahead, what are you gonna saying?
1:02:19
Actually, I'm actually gonna like, when after I get off work tomorrow,
1:02:22
I'm gonna like take some money and buy the kindle edition of Wolf's Song.
1:02:28
Now what you were saying earlier, the Cycle of the Werewolf. It's not
1:02:31
a graphic novel. It's a novel that has illustrations in it. Oh,
1:02:38
and it is by Stephen Kingyon. Was released back in the eighties, but
1:02:42
a new edition of it got released back in twenty eighteen. It's one hundred
1:02:45
and twenty eight pages. Wow, it's like a very little a little book
1:02:52
of his and each chapter is like its own little short story. It looks
1:02:55
like it could be good anyway, Yes, where wolves will be coming in
1:03:01
the near future. Bazah a woo. Yeah. So, on that note
1:03:15
that you guys listening today's episode catch es next time as you talk about something
1:03:19
else. Until then, peace,
