Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: All right, well, speaking of lack of plots.
[00:00:03] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:00:04] Speaker A: Yes. Terror titans, number five, we're here.
We were talking about something else, and I said, speaking of lack of plots, and I said, let's start this podcast because this book has no fucking plot. Well, it does have a plot, okay. It's just a really shitty one. Yeah. So I shouldn't say no plots. It just is awful. Plots.
Yeah.
Oh, my God. We're on number five, right? Like, how. Why are. Why are we here?
[00:00:30] Speaker B: I mean, it got chosen by Paul for us.
[00:00:34] Speaker A: Paul the jiu jitsu lawyer Boudreau of Certified martial arts on Bridgeport and 27th in university place, Tacoma, Washington. Yeah, yeah, that.
[00:00:48] Speaker B: That.
[00:00:50] Speaker A: Do you know that I, like a world champion jiu jitsu person, has stayed at our house, and he's fighting on. I mean, it'll be after this podcast comes out. Not fighting, but he has a big jujitsu match on, like.
Yeah. On, like, ESPN or UFC fight pass or something. Yeah, like, yeah, that guy stay. I was like, that guy stayed at our house.
Yeah, yeah, I did. He did a seminar.
[00:01:17] Speaker B: That is very cool. That is very cool. I telling cousin Jason that nephew Bodie needs to come when he. When he gets here to.
When he comes back to Washington, that he needs to check out the gym. And we go there and check it out because he is interested in the jujitsu and mma and all that other stuff.
[00:01:44] Speaker A: I also have some amazing news. Yeah, what's that? Yeah, well, throw it. We are part of the Project Dash nerd.com network.
[00:01:53] Speaker B: Yeah. This is a true thing.
[00:01:55] Speaker A: Project nerd. Project Dash nerd.com, your home of criminology, facts and statistics.
[00:02:05] Speaker B: Is that a new thing? Is that.
[00:02:07] Speaker A: Yes. In fact, I read a post. I even sent it to you.
The post says, my mom is a prosecutor, and every year she brings up the fact that Mother's Day is the day with the lowest crime. I think that says a lot about how many moms commit crimes throughout the year but can't today because they're too busy being celebrated.
And so it's very important. Like, I. So, like, yeah, I'm now learning more facts about criminology in crime statistics on projectdashner.com. Dot that you can go there and learn them, too.
[00:02:43] Speaker B: That. That is. That. That is, yeah, 100%.
[00:02:49] Speaker A: So that's. Yeah. And we have a book that is a crime. A crime that was released at all.
[00:03:00] Speaker B: I wonder. I wonder if they. If there. There could be a true crime podcast.
[00:03:05] Speaker A: Where it's just nothing but comic book crimes.
[00:03:08] Speaker B: Comic book crimes?
[00:03:10] Speaker A: Yeah, comics, like, parasite everywhere.
[00:03:15] Speaker B: No, none of that.
[00:03:17] Speaker A: Yeah, there's parasite all over this book again. Remember, we're back to. We should have called. They should have called this book para. Parasite. Titans.
[00:03:25] Speaker B: Parasite titans. Oh, my God.
[00:03:27] Speaker A: Titans of parasite.
[00:03:29] Speaker B: No, no, I don't like that. That's terrible.
[00:03:33] Speaker A: Well, I don't like this book either. So. I mean, that's. That's. That's how it is. I mean, it's. It. Yeah, so, like, parasite is terrible and this book is terrible because it's all about it.
Well, okay, we have a shitty cover. Yeah, move on.
[00:03:53] Speaker B: No, I mean, it's actually. The COVID is kind of cool, cuz, like, clock king looks like Willy Wonka, but not the good Willy Wonka.
[00:04:02] Speaker A: Just like he kind of clock King, like, seriously, he's standing on top of a giant clock.
[00:04:09] Speaker B: Like. Like, you know, and he's. He's in a Willy Wonka pose with.
[00:04:14] Speaker A: Yeah. So who is that on the COVID next to him? There's. Is that hard rock or whatever.
[00:04:18] Speaker B: Rock hard, hard rocks in this crotch, which seems kind of weird, but that's where you see him. And he's got star spangled kid.
[00:04:27] Speaker A: And who's the other person? I.
[00:04:29] Speaker B: You know, I don't know. But they do pop up at that and of this run and.
[00:04:36] Speaker A: Yeah, they pop up in the next issue. Yeah.
[00:04:38] Speaker B: Yeah. And then we see. Yeah, the next issue, and we see them with a. With a person. With a. With a character. And I'm like, oh, they must be related. So we haven't seen this character at all through. So they've been hiding. They've been tucked up in a room or something like that.
[00:04:55] Speaker A: They weren't part of the tournament.
[00:04:57] Speaker B: They weren't part of the tournament. Maybe they were tucked up with static shock in that sleeping room. The sleeping room.
[00:05:05] Speaker A: Well, I'll give you a hint. They were part of. They were part of the new Infinity Inc. Launch, which was a book that didn't go so well.
[00:05:16] Speaker B: Oh, okay.
[00:05:17] Speaker A: So it came out of 52, you know, like that.
[00:05:20] Speaker B: Gotcha.
[00:05:21] Speaker A: And they did the year later thing. And infinity ink number two. Yeah. Infinity ink number two had a grand total of 30 appearances. So the original Infinity ink actually lasted longer, which is a. It's quite the accomplishment not to outlast that book. I loved that book. But, yeah, they killed it with crisis. So crisis. Crisis was as bad to that as it was to legion. And. Well, anyway, not to get lost on Infinity Inc. I did tell your co author on Starlight, though, that if he was looking for a dead property to make a pitch to DC about infinity. The original Infinity Inc. Would be a great one.
[00:05:56] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Well, then, just saying, infinity Inc. Let's pitch it.
[00:06:04] Speaker A: Well, there we go. Pitch everything. So. Yeah. Okay, next.
[00:06:09] Speaker B: Moving on.
[00:06:10] Speaker A: Oh, cool. Look at this. Look at this really cool street fighter ad, man.
[00:06:15] Speaker B: I'm clicking buttons.
[00:06:17] Speaker A: How do kid that is?
[00:06:18] Speaker B: Oh, I mean, that's the kind of ad I see. That kind of ad. And the next thing I want to do is I want to get in a GTI.
[00:06:26] Speaker A: I think the next thing I want to do is look at the next page and kill my parents.
[00:06:29] Speaker B: Oh, geez. Parentheside. I don't think it's. They're adopted parents. Does it count?
[00:06:35] Speaker A: I mean, yeah, so now we're like, yeah, we've got disruptor. Apparently she was found back to the terrible eighties and nineties scare tropes we heard as children.
Baby found in a garbage can tries to murder people as an adopted in the orphanage or something, is adopted by really nice parents, falls in love with her dad. Adopted dad, apparently, because we're just going to keep the tropes going. Murders her stepmom and tries to love her adopted dad and then ends up in jail again.
I don't know how this person got out of jail because it does say a brief history of the life. Angelica Smith, so disruptor, she disrupted things.
[00:07:19] Speaker B: That's how she got out.
[00:07:20] Speaker A: Yeah. And now she's jealous of Ravager because Ravager's love the clock king. So we've continued the trope. Right. See how that worked? Yeah, yeah, it's great. This is a great fucking book. Yeah, it's fantastic movie. And now Robbinger's fighting with bolt and.
[00:07:39] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, they're all fighting.
[00:07:40] Speaker A: Oh, and it's gonna get better. It's just gonna keep getting. Oh, wait, it's just gonna keep getting better is. Yeah, I mean, remember she was like, trying to have sex with bolt to get him to murder people. Last issue, so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, anyway, all right, well, we flipped the page and disruptors just, like, saying that she's just another slut in her way, so.
God.
[00:08:15] Speaker B: It'S really.
[00:08:17] Speaker A: Do you have Gail Simone on speed dial by chance?
[00:08:19] Speaker B: No, I don't.
[00:08:21] Speaker A: Okay, well, if you did, we could get the opinion. Yeah. Well, anyway, we get to the next page. Oh, look. Star Spangled Kid has dispatched Terra and has won the dark side club tournament.
[00:08:36] Speaker B: Whoa.
[00:08:37] Speaker A: And we get Terra titans part five. The great Destroyer by Sean McKeever, an amazing writer.
Joe Bennett on pencils.
Jack Jadson Inker. Ron Rice on colors. Swans is the editor. Whoever swans is. Is that. No on letters. Sorry. Swans. No name. Is that like the company that brings you the frozen food or.
[00:09:04] Speaker B: No, that's Schwann's.
[00:09:06] Speaker A: Oh, I thought it was like swans. Don't they have little swans on their trucks?
[00:09:10] Speaker B: No, they got schwans.
They are swans.
[00:09:13] Speaker A: What's a Schwann? What's a Schwann?
[00:09:15] Speaker B: Kind of like a swan, but it's a Schwann. Schwann.
[00:09:18] Speaker A: Okay.
Rex Ogle, assistant editor. Brian Cunningham, editor. And you'll notice that one of the fine editors has taken his name back off the book. So Dan Didio is nowhere to be found here.
[00:09:33] Speaker B: It's not a video joint.
[00:09:36] Speaker A: Yeah, well, he got back off here, I think, when all the parasites started happening. He's like, yeah, I'm off this shit again.
[00:09:41] Speaker B: This is gross.
[00:09:43] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, he was too busy justifying Eddie Berzinga's a distant existence at DC at the time, so he had to get off there and he had to help out one of his other editors, you know?
[00:09:52] Speaker B: I see, I see.
[00:09:53] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, anyway.
Well, I mean, I was thinking of things that were slightly less bad than parasite, maybe so, uh. Well, anyway, so. Or maybe not. I don't know. Depends on your perspective, I guess. So, uh, let's not go down that path. So, uh, anyway, they're all the zombie people. Yeah. And there all of a sudden, we do get some infinity ink. And, uh. But they never showed up before. And we got some other characters. We got one in, like, a striped shirt with purple hair. I'm not sure who that was. I don't remember that character at all.
[00:10:30] Speaker B: Yeah, some of these are like.
[00:10:31] Speaker A: Yeah. Just some new people show up. Yeah.
That we never seen before.
It's always good writing when a bunch of new characters show up that you've never seen before in issue five of a miniseries.
[00:10:43] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, hey, they weren't here before, but they're here now. That's okay. We're not gonna see them again.
[00:10:48] Speaker A: Well, that character needs to be there so they can use them in one scene in issue six.
[00:10:53] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah, that's true.
[00:10:55] Speaker A: Not that I've read ahead, but we're covering it, this podcast, anyway, so. Anyway, they're all talking. Yeah, they're all talking. And they're like, clock King is lord and stuff.
[00:11:05] Speaker B: Chaos is order.
[00:11:06] Speaker A: Yeah, well, that's the. Because they found the anti life equation. But, you know, that's neither here nor there, so.
Yeah. Jack, you know what?
Can you imagine if Jack Kirby read this and it was like, this is what they did to Darkseid and all of his cast of characters.
[00:11:24] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:11:25] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:11:25] Speaker B: He'd be a little heated.
[00:11:29] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:11:32] Speaker B: Well, heated.
[00:11:33] Speaker A: Well, anyway, the dark side people are talking. There's burn to death, right? From the. Yeah, yeah. Originally from the.
The female furies. And I forget who the other dark side guy was at this point. Now. I don't. Who's left? They killed a couple of them. That is, that.
That's left, I think.
[00:11:53] Speaker B: So.
[00:11:54] Speaker A: They're talking and they're like, yeah, we're just the clock king employees now, and that's fine. And then we get.
[00:12:02] Speaker B: Have it your way at clocker King.
[00:12:04] Speaker A: Yeah.
Well, anyway, then with the persuader is talking to bolt, but they're in civvies and they're on the roof, and they're like, she's like, he took my dad away from me. And how do you kill your father? And she's like, why don't you want the clock king dead? And he just looks at her.
He's like, I can't say I didn't think about it. A big part of me is still trying to process the whole thing. Still. I feel like I'm actually coming to terms with what I've done.
So the parasite. Good. We got one, two. Is that two parasite goods in this issue?
[00:12:44] Speaker B: Yeah, that's two in this issue that are claiming good. One. That's indecisive.
[00:12:53] Speaker A: He's like, I'm glad he's gone. That's terrible. Right?
[00:12:58] Speaker B: We get more discussion here.
[00:13:00] Speaker A: Well, yeah, I mean, she's just like, well, persuader's really sad. And now we get to even better parts of the book. So copperhead. Copperhead.
Yeah, I get it right this time.
[00:13:12] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:13:12] Speaker A: Copperhead, all right, is hanging out with tntna, and her fingers are back on with no scars or anything.
And they're hanging out, and she's like, I love you, Nathan copperhead guy.
And he just kind of is looking to the side.
And then Copperhead meets with clock king, and he's like, how does it feel to be in love? Hahaha. And copperheads, like, something seriously wrong with me, isn't it?
Because I committed parasite two or something, right?
[00:13:49] Speaker B: Because it was clear down there. I don't, I don't know. I don't feel anything.
[00:13:57] Speaker A: Well, no, he didn't commit parasite. He killed his little baby brother. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:14:01] Speaker B: He killed it. He emphasized, but.
[00:14:04] Speaker A: He did emphasize, but, like, he ran away before he killed his parents. He left them live, so it was okay. And now clock king gives a giant speech. And he has a new team called the Martyr Militia, consisting of all the people that were in the fight club, except for static, who. We have no idea what happened to him because he's gone.
[00:14:27] Speaker B: Shocking. Shocking.
[00:14:29] Speaker A: A shocking revelation. That's good. I like that this book makes me sad.
[00:14:37] Speaker B: It is.
It does make me sad, too.
[00:14:42] Speaker A: It makes me sad that somebody thought this was a. Well, we flipped the page and we have. Humanity's hope begins with one man's retribution.
[00:14:51] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:14:52] Speaker A: Resistance, apparently. This is a good game. I don't know. You probably.
[00:14:56] Speaker B: I did not play the one for the PSP. I did play the.
The other games for the PlayStation three and four. I liked.
I played. I played those. I liked it. It's very like, you know, Mars attack or not Mars not. Not funny like that. It's like aliens attack and you're, you know, fighting aliens and stuff like that, so.
[00:15:23] Speaker A: Yeah, okay. A cac.
[00:15:27] Speaker B: Yeah, not in the acac kind of way. More in the, like. Oh, better. Like, it's like sky is fall or. Yeah, sky's falling.
[00:15:34] Speaker A: Okay. I mean, I like the ack ack version personally, but.
[00:15:38] Speaker B: Yeah, you know, it's much more fun. This is more like crap. Gotta run.
[00:15:44] Speaker A: Well, we get to the next page here after looking at this ad, and the clock king is like, hey, you all passed. You can now lead the Martyr militia as the terror titans.
All right, sway.
And they're like, where's copperhead? Oh, I sent him out for a special mission, and then copperheads on top of the building with a bunch of power things with TntNA, I guess, a building, not the building. And.
And she's like, oh, where are we gonna go? Where we're running away. And then he hits a button on her collar and blows her up and murders her.
[00:16:23] Speaker B: That's not nice.
[00:16:24] Speaker A: Yeah, so I guess copperheads now, like, he's overcome his ability to love or something. This is.
What the fuck?
[00:16:34] Speaker B: Yeah, cuz, like, he's like, oh, don't worry, you're not gonna. We're. You don't have to fight again. Where you.
Travis is calling.
[00:16:44] Speaker A: Well, there we go. Travis. Travis knows when we podcast. I just. I just covered that with him on last Friday from when we're recording this, so. Yeah, anyway.
Or Thursday, actually, but anyway. Yeah, well, okay, so another plot point. So now Copperhead is a big baddie because he's murdered somebody else, and he murdered somebody he thought he might love. And he shows that he has no affection for anything. So he can now be part of the terror titans, too.
[00:17:13] Speaker B: Terror titans.
Yeah. Clock king just wants people to kill people that they love.
[00:17:21] Speaker A: Usually, usually, I'm upset one of the comic book doesn't have page numbers, but since this comic book has no page numbers, I don't need to tell you where these pages are located.
[00:17:31] Speaker B: Yeah, because it just, it's wumpy. So, yeah, we got a, we got Ravager and clock King having a discussion. She realizes that he's just having a whole entire fight club for his own amusement, right?
She's mad.
[00:17:47] Speaker A: And then she sees, and she takes a bunch of the adrenaline stuff and sees into the future too, and then realizes what he's doing. And he, she calls him a piece of trash.
Which makes me question, right? If this whole time she could sort of do that, then why was she, what was she waiting for? Right?
[00:18:05] Speaker B: Like, if she could, she could have seen it the whole time, right? How. How far can she see into the future?
[00:18:10] Speaker A: One, she's supposed to be, like, theoretically on a side mission, like, spying on him and trying to figure out this whole thing. And then.
Yeah. And she just hung back and did all these other things to discover it, but then could figure it out. Like, it's okay. Sure. Hey, Wondercon, you told me once that was not a good con.
[00:18:30] Speaker B: So I didn't say it was a bad con. I just said it was a con that I never had gone to and I didn't go to because, and this is interesting because this one, uh, yeah.
[00:18:44] Speaker A: Like, only one of the people on here is part of comics gate, so that's good.
[00:18:48] Speaker B: February, Mike.
Like, I don't think Mike had ever gone to it because of the timing and placement. Because, like, it was, it was set. When it was set, it was usually like, okay, you gotta pick if you're gonna do this wonderful city, because timing wise.
[00:19:08] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah.
[00:19:09] Speaker B: February. March.
[00:19:12] Speaker A: Too close. Well, Wondercon happened a long time ago, and then that would be, like, in 2009, this one. Anyway, okay, so we're back in Ravagers gonna murder clock king, but we get back to, oh, if we didn't get enough before, now we get Tntna eviscerating herself with her own power and melting herself. So fucking great.
Can you imagine? You're Joe Bennett. You're trying to break into comics. You're pretty good, penciler. Decent. I mean, there's some, I feel like the penciling gets a little bit worse in this book, and that's fine.
I would be worn down by this point too. And then you're reading the script and you're like, I have to pencil this shit.
[00:19:57] Speaker B: I gotta pencil. Somebody, like, exploding themselves, but keep it, like somewhat them, but not them at all. But they haven't exploding. And it's a lot.
[00:20:08] Speaker A: There's nothing like self immolation. Well, anyway, so much kaboom. Yeah, it's. Well, Ravager breaks out, and then the terror titans are beating up Ravager because she wants to, like, beat up Claudia.
[00:20:24] Speaker B: She's a tattletale.
[00:20:26] Speaker A: Yeah. And then they're all beating Ravager up, and then disruptor grabs her and holds her neck, and it says, ah. To be continued. Okay. I can't wait.
I'm sure she's gonna die.
[00:20:39] Speaker B: Well, actually, she does.
[00:20:44] Speaker A: Well, not here.
[00:20:44] Speaker B: We all die. We all die, Dan.
[00:20:46] Speaker A: Eventually. Well, can we get to issue six now?
[00:20:50] Speaker B: Yeah, we can.
[00:20:51] Speaker A: The last stand where we have Ravager and kind of a cool cover where we see all the people surrounding her.
[00:21:00] Speaker B: Okay, the whole book was just this. I'd be rad, but.
[00:21:03] Speaker A: And the city's burning behind her.
[00:21:05] Speaker B: Well, that's not cool. That sucks.
[00:21:08] Speaker A: Terror titans, number six. All right, here we go.
We get Los Angeles. We get that shimmering lady on the first.
[00:21:20] Speaker B: Lady.
[00:21:20] Speaker A: I don't remember her name. What was it pristine. The one. We have no idea who's. What her powers are. Yeah, or is that sat? No, Sapphire is the blue one.
[00:21:29] Speaker B: They're. They're doing all their. Everybody's out there bad. Like, just like their. Their whole job is to just, like, mess up the city just to blow it up, because they. They've sent Tntna up on the power grid. She's blown that up. And now all the. The martyrs of mayhem are doing their dastardly deeds that they didn't want to do, but they're doing them for dirt cheap because clock King said so.
[00:21:59] Speaker A: Well, we have another one here. Flying person. We'll call her flying person. I have no idea who that is.
It looks like it's that son of the devil guy.
Son of the fallen. Yeah.
[00:22:12] Speaker B: Son of the fallen.
[00:22:13] Speaker A: And they're all terrorizing Los Angeles. Terror seat there.
Terrorizing.
[00:22:20] Speaker B: Terrorizing the terror Titans.
[00:22:23] Speaker A: And we get terror Titans part six 1 second to midnight by Sean McIver, Joe Bennett. Jack on art. Jack Jadson inker. JD Smith on colors. We've changed colors again.
Can't imagine why they can't keep those colors around for this book. Travis Lanham on letters. Rex Ogle, assistant editor. Is that a different editor than last time?
[00:22:47] Speaker B: Yeah. No, no.
[00:22:48] Speaker A: Assistant editor.
Brian Cunningham. And we get a special thanks to Elizabeth v.
Guerlin, which I'm sure is very proud of their participation in this book. So, yeah, so here we go.
They're fighting Ravager, they're beating people up, and.
And basically, they're like, you've betrayed the clock king. You're gonna die. And then Star Spangled kid comes out and is like, I've got a better idea.
And.
Wait, then you flipped a page, and we have no idea what the better idea is.
Well, anyway, the disrupter is about to kill her.
[00:23:44] Speaker B: She's fighting her. It's turn I like. It's gonna be like, I'm gonna rip her stomach out.
[00:23:52] Speaker A: Yeah. And then they're all like, go ahead and kill her.
[00:23:55] Speaker B: Do it, whatever, we don't care.
[00:23:57] Speaker A: But then they tell her not to do it, and she gets distracted, and Ravager turns the tables. And then there's a whole army of people walking behind the Star Spangled kid.
Oh, and guess what? The Star Spangled kid reveals themselves because, of course, Ravager already knew who it was to be Miss Martian.
[00:24:21] Speaker B: What?
[00:24:24] Speaker A: A gone. A gone. Can you say it like they do? I can't say it like they do on. On young justice. I don't do Martian very well. No, it's like McGon. Like, it's a weird McGonagall. I don't know. Watch young justice. Clearly you haven't, because you'd know what I was talking about. So anyway, so she's like the dark side club knew I was resistance, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We get a bunch of exposition here for this MacGuffin where Miss Marsha just appears out of nowhere. There were some indications that she was using maybe some telepathic powers or something, or the sharp spangled kid was. But, yeah, I mean, this is lame as hell.
I don't know. I mean, do you disagree? Like, it's like all of a sudden, Miss Martian is leading the whole army and managed to break all of the control in one panel. So now all the other heroes are out of the control, they're following her along. Now we get one of those amazing. What's the worst? That above the influence ads here where slugs dressed as humans are about to eat salt.
[00:25:32] Speaker B: Oh, no.
[00:25:33] Speaker A: And it says, what the worst that could happen? I don't know. Like, I feel like. Like salt can be good for you under certain circumstances.
These are the worst anti drug ads ever. Is that a fair statement?
[00:25:48] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:25:49] Speaker A: I mean, they fit perfectly with this book.
Honestly, I wish I had taken hard drugs before reading this book.
[00:25:58] Speaker B: I don't know. I honestly don't know what anti drug ad you're looking at. Because I don't have that same one.
[00:26:04] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, you do.
[00:26:06] Speaker B: It's probably in the back of the book.
[00:26:08] Speaker A: Well, anyway, we flipped the page, and bolt's, like, standing up to all of the good guys and was like, I don't think so.
And, like, aqua la. Aqua woman. Aqua girl. Aqua girl is, like, yelling about Ravager being one of them now. And she's one of them.
[00:26:30] Speaker B: Don't listen to her.
[00:26:31] Speaker A: And now.
Now they're gonna have. They're teasing that she's gonna side with the terror titans, but we know she's not. Cause she's already said it multiple times in the book that she's not going to do that. Now they're back at the dark side club and the terror titans flash back in. Clock King's like, ha. Welcome. I trust you had an entertaining failure. And they're like, it's not our fault, clock King. We didn't do anything.
We tried our best. Yeah.
Angelica, you disappoint me the most.
Didn't I tell you not to take. Make another attempt on Ravager's live?
And then she's there and he murders her.
[00:27:16] Speaker B: Yeah. Just, like, melts her with one of his little things.
[00:27:22] Speaker A: Yeah.
And then that makes persuader really mad.
[00:27:29] Speaker B: Yeah. Ew.
[00:27:31] Speaker A: And then the good guys all bust in at the same time.
[00:27:37] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:27:38] Speaker A: And that clock King leaves, and now it's just copperhead, bolt and persuader against all of the people.
Get another ad for resistance retribution.
Yeah. Then a static finally shows back up. Yeah.
And we get a link to another character that I don't know. That's the mask. Cause they haven't told us, even though I do know who it is.
We get an ad for the Watchmen movie soundtrack, which was good, which is awesome.
[00:28:19] Speaker B: Get it if you don't have it already.
[00:28:21] Speaker A: And then static starts blasting people. On his way out. He takes out the dark side club like inner circle.
By the way, can I just talk about what an amazing use of static this is? Like, you had this character that was hot on a television show, sat them out of DC Universe proper for several years, and bring them in in this miniseries.
[00:28:45] Speaker B: Use them in this miniseries for two issues and maybe four pages total.
Yeah, it's depressing.
[00:28:54] Speaker A: I mean, that gets me really excited about reading more static stuff, for sure.
[00:28:58] Speaker B: Yeah, no, they should have. It just should have been nothing but static and.
Yeah, just.
[00:29:06] Speaker A: Right. But they're focused on making Ravager into a great character. Don't you want to read a Ravager book after this?
[00:29:11] Speaker B: No.
[00:29:15] Speaker A: I mean, literally Sean McKeever's like.
[00:29:17] Speaker B: I don't want to read either book after this.
[00:29:20] Speaker A: Sean McIver's just killing off these characters that had potential. Like, it's, it's, he's killing off these characters worse than killing off characters he does in the book.
Like, he's literally making them.
He's destroying properties as he writes pages.
[00:29:38] Speaker B: It's making them unattractive to people that want to read them later.
[00:29:43] Speaker A: Well, anyway, the clock king pops back in and throws some clock king balls at people.
They're poorly timed each, every time. Yeah, oops. Yeah, oops. Yeah, oops. Sorry about that.
[00:30:03] Speaker B: Well, oops, my balls.
[00:30:07] Speaker A: Well, anyway, we get more fighting, and it's ravagers, like, taunting him. Terra takes out copperhead, like, with a giant rock.
The clock King uses his special powers to hit Ravager in the face because he can get up close to her, which is probably a mistake. We get a ad for Flash rebirth with Geoff Johns and the asshole from Comicscape.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's skip over that. You know, it was also shitty because, like, bringing Barry back, honestly, like, while Flashpoint was okay in the comic, it was not great in the movie, they did, and they, like, there was no reason to bring Barry back. Wally was a great character and is, I mean, WALl E's in the flashbook now, so anyway, that was one where, like, you know, sometimes a character maybe should just stay dead, kill him. Though I wouldn't have gotten the Flash tv show, which I did, like, at least for the first three or four seasons. I mean, it went downhill kind of, but, like, well, I still watched it.
[00:31:22] Speaker B: I actually did.
[00:31:24] Speaker A: Well, I did pause it because they went through a storyline in the comic book that I hated, and they just got to that in the, in the, in the show, so that I was like, I can't. Why? Yeah, but they start introducing all these different forces, and with the Speed Force, you know, I'm a completist. You know, I'm gonna have to go back and watch the whole thing. But anyway, uh, anyway, Ravager tie in shows, Ravager has sucked, uh, the clock king in so she can punch him in the face. That was the whole purpose of this.
She punches him in the face and throws him off the building, or he jumps off a building, or, I don't know.
Hopefully he's dead forever and never comes back.
[00:32:05] Speaker B: I, you know, we'll find out.
[00:32:08] Speaker A: Well, anyway, they wrap up the last three terror titans. Steel shows up to greet his niece, Natasha irons. Yeah. And he's like, I should have looked for you more like, what the fuck? Yeah, you weren't even in the story until we got a. You were on the COVID of the last issue.
[00:32:28] Speaker B: The COVID of the last issue. And I was like, huh? Who's that? And then she shows up here and this, like, near the end of the.
[00:32:36] Speaker A: Book, and we get, oh, thanks, Miss Martian. You saved everybody.
[00:32:40] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:32:41] Speaker A: But while you were doing that, I ko'd most of the dark side club. They're like, what happens now? Oh, well, my name's Danny. I don't care.
Yeah, it looks like the terror titans are being transported to jail or something, and they all escape. Their captors are murdered. And they get the persuader. Or the persuader is. And somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow Bolton copperhead got away in all this.
[00:33:10] Speaker B: Yeah. They did not get captured just to persuade.
[00:33:13] Speaker A: Even though they're captured two date pages before they're pretty captured. They're all tied up with the pretty caught away. Why? It never shows where they got away. Yeah, but anyway, they apparently took over the Clock kings, like the dark side club lair, whatever. That's the end of the story.
Yeah.
Yeah. So.
And it says, follow Titan. Follow the Titans and Teen Titans number 69. All right. I can't wait.
Yeah, I kept buying this book. Why did I keep buying? Anyway? This is brutal as hell. It doesn't stand up to anything. It's disgusting.
There's just a bunch of murder for no reason. It's sexist is all. Get out. It's.
Yeah, at least.
[00:34:08] Speaker B: It'S a book.
[00:34:10] Speaker A: At least they threw the clock king off a building, but somehow he survived as well. It doesn't indicate that this was his death, so. Cause he died off panel, so.
[00:34:18] Speaker B: Right.
[00:34:20] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, you know, I mean, I guess not every comic book can be a hit.
[00:34:26] Speaker B: That's true. Not everyone can be perfect and are great or fantastic, but this is what you end up with sometimes, and it's what we read.
[00:34:38] Speaker A: And finally, in an advertisement that matches the quality of the book, we get an advertisement for Nicolas Cage's new knowing.
[00:34:46] Speaker B: Knowing. What's a good movie, man?
[00:34:48] Speaker A: And, yeah, it's a good movie. Like, this is a good comic book.
[00:34:53] Speaker B: I was gonna say it's a perfect pairing, if you pick up my. If you're catching my drift.
[00:34:58] Speaker A: It's fantastic pairing. Yeah, yeah. I mean, so usually I say to read along with us, but in this case, if you don't, you're fine. We covered it.
Teenager side and destroying characters, that could be good properties. You get that all right here from one Sean McKeever. Writing the script. And, you know, I feel bad for Joe Bennett for having to draw this book. I mean, get your breakthrough at DC and then draw this terrible ass book.
[00:35:35] Speaker B: Yeah, it's.
It is. It's a tough one.
[00:35:43] Speaker A: You're so much kinder than me, but usually. But this time you're not even doing. You're not even doing that. This time you're like, yeah, no, this sucks.
[00:35:52] Speaker B: There is a. I went into it. I'm gonna. I'll say it. I mean, and people that listen to the podcast have been listening to us for the last, you know, few years. They know that I. I go into everything and I look for the. I look for the good stuff. And I honestly did look for the good stuff. And three books into it, I was like, there's no good stuff. And I read ahead and I was like, this is not great. And I. And the fact that they had brought so many people in to help direct it, push it into a. This is what we want it to be.
And it still wasn't.
Wasn't good.
It was very difficult for me to enjoy.
That being said, it's a book, and there's, I'm sure, a lot of other things that Shawn has done and you can enjoy. This is not one of them. And there's other books out there that he has worked on that are.
[00:36:59] Speaker A: Oh, no. It just keeps getting worse. Are you ready?
[00:37:03] Speaker B: What?
[00:37:04] Speaker A: Well, the next issue of Teen Titans that they refer to us is issue 69. So this comes off a mini series. They hit you in part four of a four part story.
So they bring you in off of this in the fourth part of a fourth part story. And it says, the Teen Titans continue in their efforts to solidify their lineup. Wonder Girl spearheads yet another recruitment drive. So that means it's obviously happened recently. In which she offers up Titans Towers, a sanctuary to any teen superhero. Attending the drive are those heroes and heroines who only recently escaped the Clock Kings Darkside club.
[00:37:44] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:37:45] Speaker A: Most of those who attend refuse to join the team.
[00:37:48] Speaker B: Hmm.
[00:37:50] Speaker A: The final roster consists of Wonder Girl, Aquagirl, static Blue Beetle, kid eternity, Bombshell, Miss Martian, and a powerless Eddie Bloomberg. So two of them joined the team, but the rest of them left. And Aquagirl, I think, was already part of the team, right? Wasn't she?
At the. She was at the beginning of the story, like, spying on them, right?
[00:38:12] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:38:12] Speaker A: So.
[00:38:12] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:38:13] Speaker A: So the only person out of this whole story, out of the entire fucking story that we had to read that joins the team is static, who we saw for like, five panels in the entire book, or five pages is more than panels, but yeah. Awesome.
[00:38:30] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:38:33] Speaker A: And Eddie Blueberg was the red Devil, by the way, so. Or kid devil, depending on which iteration you were getting him in.
Apparently, he was a blue devil's sidekick at one point, sort of fan.
[00:38:49] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:38:49] Speaker A: Yeah.
That's the person who's powerless. And then you got the rest of the team lineup.
Yeah. Oh, and thank God at the time, too, they got blue Beetle out of his own book to. They got Jaime out of his own book to be part of this team.
Yeah. Anyway, we'll just leave it at that. So there you go, folks. Yeah. This was the terror titans five and six will not be reading this one again. In fact, I probably should pull it out of my collection and burn it.
[00:39:24] Speaker B: Burn it.
I never suggest doing that to anything. I mean, not books, at least. I did suggest that you. You burn the desk that's in your. In your house.
[00:39:34] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, what, when you have too many comic books and nobody will buy this comic book because it's so terrible, then what would you suggest I do with it?
[00:39:47] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:39:49] Speaker A: I mean, there's. There's probably a terror titans fan out there somewhere.
[00:39:52] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:39:53] Speaker A: I mean, it looks like I could sell terror titans number four for, uh, whopping $3.75 on. Well, let me see if any of these have actually sold. Hold that thought.
It looks like. Yeah. Oh, looks like you buy number three and number four here. Hang on. Let me. Let me go click that. While you think it's something to talk about, where I go find out if these books.
[00:40:17] Speaker B: Actually, I was going to say if this book. If this book series that we just talked about really, really got you excited. And. And the writing and writing styling is a. Sean McIver got you juiced up and jazzed because of what you saw on the. From our podcast and stuff like that. And you know that I do another podcast with Saul Perez, which we do horror movies and other things on. On nurse in the crypt, a book that we are a movie that we would not. We probably have. We won't be covering, obviously, because we haven't recorded in a while, but which I would direct you to only because Sean McKeever was an actor in this 1991 Sci-Fi horror. Sean McKeever was in mind warp post apocalyptic.
[00:41:06] Speaker A: Wait, Sean McIver?
[00:41:08] Speaker B: This same Sean McIver, post apocalyptic. 2037. Judy rebels against the AI ruled Utopia, where people live in a happy VR simulation. Oh, my gosh. It sounds like current times. She's exiled to a post nuclear wasteland where she meets a drifter, stover. Mutated cannibals capture them for their leader, Seer.
The upside is you get Bruce Campbell and you get Angus Scrim, as well as Marta Martin in this movie. So you get to see him act as well as these. Find these other fine, fine performers as well. But he has an acting career as well.
[00:41:53] Speaker A: Well, good for writing well.
[00:41:56] Speaker B: And also he's a crawler, so he is a crawler in the wasteland. There's also another movie called Children of the Night I could go into, and that would be definitely something Saul and I probably.
[00:42:11] Speaker A: No, that's. That's really okay. You and Saul can go into that. We don't need to get into that here, I don't think.
[00:42:16] Speaker B: No, no. But he did also write some of the Star wars nights at the old Republic games in the early twenties.
[00:42:26] Speaker A: Well, I am happy to say that I could sell. It looks like the entire set sold for $19.99 on eBay. On April 9.
Another set, but another entire set sold for $11.99 and another entire set sold for $12, but it was $10.15 on shipping, so that seems like kind of a rip. Another. Another one sold for $15.79.
[00:42:49] Speaker B: That's how they got that $19. Get that median dollar. Twelve mark.
[00:42:54] Speaker A: Well, no, it looks like that was for $15.79 plus $4.95 shipping. But the 1999 had 499 shipping, too, so, you know, maybe I get my fine books up here with their bags and their boards and everything and sell my terror titans books. Yeah, I mean, I had no idea these were worth anything, so I figured they were worth like a quarter or something.
[00:43:15] Speaker B: Sell them for $18 free shipping.
[00:43:19] Speaker A: It looks like I could. It looks like an entire set of some stuff sold for. Well, anyway. Wow. I mean, who. Who the fuck knew?
[00:43:31] Speaker B: You're gonna make some money.
[00:43:33] Speaker A: I don't think I'm gonna make any money.
[00:43:35] Speaker B: But you're gonna make so many dollars.
[00:43:39] Speaker A: Well, if I ever retire, I can just go about doing this.
[00:43:42] Speaker B: So just send in comic book.
[00:43:45] Speaker A: Wow.
New teen titans 123-45-6789 and ten sold for $78.
[00:43:52] Speaker B: Wow, that's. That's wild.
[00:43:55] Speaker A: Oh, no, that's the original. Sorry, that was not the best. Okay. No, I don't have all those. Never mind. Okay, yeah, I get that. Never mind. That was not what I thought. I was thinking it was the 1984 version, not that 1982 version. That'd be different. Okay, well, that may get lost in here. Exciting talk.
Yeah, good talk.
Apparently, when you listen to this podcast starlight number seven should be live on Kickstarter, so you can go there and get yourself a copy of Starlight number seven if you're a loyal listener. You've already heard me review Starlight number seven.
Wait, I didn't review Starlight number seven. You've heard me talk about Starlight number seven, talk about Star and get to read. I got to, as I just like to point out, as an esteemed member of the comic book media.
[00:44:46] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:44:47] Speaker A: Greg's writing partner, Travis Webb, treats me with the esteem that I deserve and allowed me to read an advance copy of it. And you've already know that if. Because you've listened to that issue. But maybe I. Maybe. Maybe through the magic of comic book time, we didn't mention that on a couple other podcasts because maybe that was recorded in between the recordings of some other things and through wibbly wobbly, timey wimey. Now, you're hearing about it, like, four weeks later for, like, the. Three weeks later for, like, the first time. Two weeks. Whatever. I can do math. Three.
[00:45:16] Speaker B: Or people saw the reel that was posted. Or the.
[00:45:20] Speaker A: Oh, did Travis post a real.
[00:45:22] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. And then I reposted it as my own. And, like, you know, like, look at Dan. He's crying.
[00:45:28] Speaker A: I wasn't crying.
[00:45:31] Speaker B: No, I didn't say that.
[00:45:34] Speaker A: I wasn't crying. I only cried an issue five.
[00:45:37] Speaker B: I know.
Look at Dan. He's laughing. Travis crying.
[00:45:42] Speaker A: Now, I'll admit it when I cry. I mean, like, I cried an issue five. Well, I wasn't on Facebook that day, so I don't think I saw. I was busy driving.
[00:45:50] Speaker B: You messaged when you read that, and I think you called and you were so angry in issue five that you. You called promptly after reading it and yelled at me.
[00:46:03] Speaker A: Yeah, well, that was issue five, but that's not issue. Whatever. We're on seven.
[00:46:08] Speaker B: This one is very different. So I honestly feel like Travis. Travis is very. He's very happy with. With this one, so.
Yeah, I think your reaction was very much like Tom's reaction. Yeah.
[00:46:25] Speaker A: Well, you know. Well, I understand that Tom, the letterer wanted to. Was mad that the book ended, so.
[00:46:34] Speaker B: Oh, it's not. I will say it's not mad. It's not that it ended. It's not that it ended. It's. It.
[00:46:41] Speaker A: No, this book. This book ended this portion of the story.
Well, this book has a seven issue arc. It ends. It doesn't mean like it ends. But we don't want to go through any more than that because we don't want to spoil anything. I'm already in trouble, so I know I've got it. I had to edit some things out.
[00:47:01] Speaker B: So the arc is over, and. And then. Yeah, but he's. He's working his top magic, and Travis is listening.
[00:47:10] Speaker A: Yeah, well, no, it's. It's. It's awesome. So. No, you all did a good job. And.
But I will say that, you know, maybe familiarity breeds contempt, because your co author sure treats me more like an esteemed member of the comic book media than my podcast partner does on anything.
[00:47:34] Speaker B: You know, I. Geez, I. Yes, yes. Being familiar with somebody, I would say, yes.
[00:47:41] Speaker A: Having a friendship that has lasted decades, anything.
Or just won't let me read things because, you know, I can't keep my fucking mouth shut.
[00:47:51] Speaker B: Well, that is. That is also part of it. Knowing you for decades, knowing that is the truth.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that is. That is also. That is also, also part of it, too.
[00:48:04] Speaker A: Well, I think we should stop this now. We probably need to take a pause on this and just realize that, you know, we read a really terrible book, but we've got really cool things coming up. Of course, you can always find Greg at the retro Emporium on Meeker street in Kent, Washington.
You're also going to be able to find us on June, some date. June sometime. June 21, walking around summer Con in Piollup, Washington, at the fairgrounds. So if you drop by, we will give you. I don't know why I hold them up every time. Because nobody's watching us on video.
[00:48:39] Speaker B: Us.
[00:48:40] Speaker A: We will give you a funny book forensic stickers. So, yeah, if you like stickers that say funny book forensics, you can have one. All you have to do is find us two morons at summer Con, and.
[00:48:54] Speaker B: Yes, us two morons. And then another esteemed, esteemed member of.
[00:48:59] Speaker A: The media that Greg won't tell me about and secret secrets.
And in addition, I don't know who they are. Yes. You haven't told me yet.
[00:49:14] Speaker B: I thought they'd been on a bunch of these, like, chats between Iggy and us.
[00:49:21] Speaker A: Do you think I seriously pay attention to anything that's happening except posting the show?
[00:49:26] Speaker B: No, I don't.
[00:49:27] Speaker A: I didn't even know I was on a reel on Facebook. Like, as it was happening like this, we revealed that during this discussion. Now I'm like, I'm going back here. And then the reason I.
[00:49:39] Speaker B: You should just, like, look up.
There's so many things that, like, people post about it.
[00:49:45] Speaker A: Should I be looking at Travis's thing? Like, I don't even know where to look. I like trying to find it.
[00:49:50] Speaker B: Travis. Travis had all these great videos of you in this house. It was great. There's like ten or twelve videos that he made of you while you were there for a short time. It was great.
[00:50:02] Speaker A: Yeah, well, you know, that's. I see pictures of Travis's feet.
[00:50:07] Speaker B: And then when you fell in the pool, that was even funnier because, like.
[00:50:10] Speaker A: I didn't go in the pool. I was in.
[00:50:11] Speaker B: No, not on purpose, of course.
[00:50:14] Speaker A: What are you talking about?
[00:50:16] Speaker B: You're trying to barbecue with the barbecue on the floaty restaurant.
[00:50:19] Speaker A: I have no idea what you're talking about. I must have, like, what did Travis slip me while I was at the house? Right? This is. This is some insanity. Well, we'll go ahead and start wrapping this thing up. Of course. You can find us on YouTube. You can find us on X. You can find us on Facebook. You can find us on Instagram. You could subscribe to our podcast feed through a podcast aggregator. Like, I don't know, podcast addict. Yeah, podcast addict. Google things, Apple something. Yeah, whatever. And then find us at Project nerd. Yeah, and you can find us at Project dash nerd.com, as I learned today, your host. Your host for why we should ban all recipes with stories on the Internet.
[00:51:09] Speaker B: Hey, I mean, you should go.
I love that one. It's so good.
[00:51:18] Speaker A: Well, it's true. I mean, we really should. I mean, who actually reads this stupid effing story? I just want the fucking recipe. So, like, get me there, right? Like, you know, and this book has gotten so mad, I've dropped, like, four f bombs in the last, like, three.
[00:51:31] Speaker B: Minutes that we had to put that thing at the beginning that says, this is a very. This is.
[00:51:37] Speaker A: It always says explicit. It doesn't matter what we say. I just put explicit on the book.
I don't want to censor myself. So.
[00:51:46] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:51:48] Speaker A: Oh, hey, look, Travis is talking. Is this when I was talking? No, Travis is talking. I don't see any of these real. How do you even see these real things? Well, it doesn't matter. We're out of here.
I don't know how to use the Internet. And we're done. So it's amazing we actually get anything posted, so. Yeah. Well, thanks for listening. We promised that we don't have an announcement for what we're covering next week yet, but we promise it is not going to be sad like this.
[00:52:17] Speaker B: It's not going to be this. It's going to be something even better. Better?
[00:52:22] Speaker A: Yeah. Who knows what is not gonna make us depressed. No, you don't get. No, no, no, it can't be that. No, it can't be that.
[00:52:33] Speaker B: What about this?
[00:52:33] Speaker A: I can't handle that right now.
[00:52:35] Speaker B: Oh, what, what about that?
[00:52:37] Speaker A: Well, here's the thing.
[00:52:40] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:52:40] Speaker A: You know, if we really wanted to get sad.
[00:52:43] Speaker B: Oh, no, I want to laugh.
[00:52:46] Speaker A: Well, if you.
[00:52:48] Speaker B: Hold on.
[00:52:48] Speaker A: If you want to be happy.
[00:52:50] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:52:51] Speaker A: If you want to be sad and happy at the same time. But we're not going to do that right now.
[00:52:56] Speaker B: Is that called sappy when you're sad and happy?
[00:52:59] Speaker A: Well, here's the funny thing. You could read. We could read the four issue terra miniseries and see how Sean McIver destroyed the work Justin Gray, Jimmy Palmiotti and. Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Connor did on the character.
[00:53:11] Speaker B: It's only. It's only four comics.
[00:53:13] Speaker A: Yeah, but it would make you so. It would make you so depressed because, like, like, you'd be like, oh, they created something kind of fun here. And power girl shows up and it's Amanda Connor and Jimmy Palmiotti and.
Is it? And Justin Gray. And then. No, it's fun. It's fun, but we're not gonna read that right now, so.
[00:53:32] Speaker B: Oh, but we should. Cause we just came off of this and I might actually.
[00:53:35] Speaker A: It actually made me angrier seeing it because I had forgotten the cool thing they did with the character. Yeah. So.
[00:53:40] Speaker B: Oh, now I wanna read it. Dan, you're teasing it.
[00:53:43] Speaker A: Tempting me. You know what we're reading next week, don't you?
[00:53:48] Speaker B: What?
[00:53:49] Speaker A: You know what we're reading next week?
[00:53:50] Speaker B: Oh, that. Yeah. Okay.
[00:53:52] Speaker A: We're reading the tribute to 911 comic. No, we are not doing that.
Wow.
[00:54:03] Speaker B: Wow. Is it. Is it because they closed down the.
[00:54:07] Speaker A: We're not doing the window. No, we're not. No, we're not doing that.
So we're definitely not doing that ever.
That's a big no.
Yeah.
[00:54:21] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:54:23] Speaker A: You know, after discussing parricide, we could always read about. We could read alias because nothing bad happened in that book to the main character.
[00:54:32] Speaker B: Yeah, no, we were trying to watch a show, Jessica Jones. Yeah, well, alias, original alias. And then we watch all the. Jessica Jones and.
[00:54:42] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:54:45] Speaker B: And just like, pulled that. She pulled the plug on. It's like, nah, I'm out.
[00:54:48] Speaker A: Yeah, well, that. It's also scary. It's also really scary. But, yeah, I think. I'm thinking.
I'm thinking that we should lighten it up a little bit. Maybe some Archie's books.
[00:55:02] Speaker B: Okay, perfect.
[00:55:02] Speaker A: Yeah. No, um, my thought is this richie rich?
[00:55:08] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:55:09] Speaker A: How about.
Yeah, how about I don't know why I'm saying this right now. Because you were about to say it. Oh, how about we read?
[00:55:20] Speaker B: Uh huh.
[00:55:21] Speaker A: No, how about we read? No, how about we read?
I mean, we've only ever gotten one listener request before.
[00:55:30] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:55:32] Speaker A: And I did say I would eventually honor that listener's request.
[00:55:36] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:55:37] Speaker A: I said I needed to read some good stuff beforehand, but then we just read some terrible stuff, so I feel like I'm in the right state of mind to read Cap Wolf, so I don't remember the issue number because I have not prepared this at all. But next week, next week, Greg will even advertise this. Probably next week, you're gonna get the start of Cap Wolf.
[00:56:07] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh.
[00:56:08] Speaker A: Guest starring some other Wolfy characters like Wolverine, who's not a wolf.
[00:56:14] Speaker B: Wolverine. That'd be horrible.
[00:56:16] Speaker A: And Wolverine and Wolfsbane and. Yeah, that's. That's what we're doing next. So maybe some werewolf by night. Hell, I don't know what's in there, but you know what? We're doing it. We're doing some cap wolf. We can only assume that Cap Wolf spawned all the great things in the future, like all the zombie DC zombies and Marvel zombies and all that. Like, yeah, we can only assume that this was the great thing. We can only assume that that book was the entire inspiration for the Twilight series.
[00:56:47] Speaker B: Exactly.
[00:56:47] Speaker A: And we're gonna have dogs barking in 2 seconds. So with that, we're wrapping this up. So thanks. This was funny book. Forensics, we're out, and you're getting some cap wolf. Bye.
