00:00:47.295 --> 00:00:47.620

Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I can go back and change them. But I'm starting with, today's this one is the one that's I'm actually putting it on on time.

11
00:00:57.270 --> 00:00:57.960
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

12
00:00:59.030 --> 00:01:02.090
Tad Eggleston: I mean, at some point I'm going to go try to work.

13
00:01:02.400 --> 00:01:05.680
Tad Eggleston: One of my my summer projects is to go through

14
00:01:06.230 --> 00:01:08.419
Tad Eggleston: all of our early blog entries.

15
00:01:08.420 --> 00:01:08.770
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

16
00:01:08.770 --> 00:01:21.960
Tad Eggleston: And all of our our buzzfeed or not buzzfeed buzzsprout sprout.

17
00:01:21.960 --> 00:01:22.610
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

18
00:01:22.650 --> 00:01:25.340
Tad Eggleston: And and clean up the metadata.

19
00:01:25.540 --> 00:01:25.890
Tyler Johnson: Oh, sure!

20
00:01:25.890 --> 00:01:27.789
Tad Eggleston: Make it match between the 2.

21
00:01:28.420 --> 00:01:28.970
Tad Eggleston: Wow!

22
00:01:28.970 --> 00:01:31.019
Tad Eggleston: A little bit more of it. That sort of thing.

23
00:01:31.020 --> 00:02:00.760
Tyler Johnson: Well, that blogger blog spot website. Is very well done. I had like 3 compliments, and I'm like, Oh, don't compliment me. I didn't make it like because people were asking me about the podcast in the last few days. One of them, yeah, cause. One of them was a pastor at my wife's church, where they're like. She's like. So here you have a little podcast about comic books. And I'm like, don't listen to it like you are not. Oh.

24
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:02.816
Tad Eggleston: Well, if you want there, there's some

25
00:02:03.180 --> 00:02:07.310
Tad Eggleston: There's some good adaptations of the Bible. We could do a Bible comic.

26
00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:08.919
Tyler Johnson: That would be kind of funny.

27
00:02:08.990 --> 00:02:12.939
Tyler Johnson: That'd be kind of fun. I would enjoy it. But anyway

28
00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:21.109
Tyler Johnson: no, I just meant I just meant because it's not. PC, you know it's not. Pg, I mean not. PC, pg.

29
00:02:23.170 --> 00:02:27.840
Tad Eggleston: Well, I mean frankly.

30
00:02:27.980 --> 00:02:32.680
Tad Eggleston: if they can handle some of the stuff in the Bible, they should be able to handle anything in our comic.

31
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:34.040
Tyler Johnson: That's true. That's true.

32
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:39.990
Tad Eggleston: I mean, I'm just being honest here. The Bible is not always pg.

33
00:02:40.170 --> 00:02:40.650
Tyler Johnson: That's true.

34
00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:46.690
Tad Eggleston: It is. It is often not.

35
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:47.740
Tyler Johnson: G.

36
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:49.050
Tyler Johnson: I agree.

37
00:02:50.170 --> 00:02:51.290
Tyler Johnson: I have read it.

38
00:02:52.020 --> 00:02:53.170
Tad Eggleston: I have 2.

39
00:02:53.170 --> 00:02:55.310
Tyler Johnson: Not in a long time, but.

40
00:02:55.310 --> 00:02:59.610
Tad Eggleston: I've read all of it even a couple of times.

41
00:03:00.580 --> 00:03:06.198
Tyler Johnson: When you read it, do you follow a certain path, or are you reading it in

42
00:03:06.730 --> 00:03:09.950
Tyler Johnson: printed order that it's in the in the Bible or.

43
00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:11.440
Tyler Johnson: How do you mean?

44
00:03:11.440 --> 00:03:13.050
Tad Eggleston: I've

45
00:03:14.310 --> 00:03:23.159
Tad Eggleston: I've done Bible studies where you know. I read what we were doing in the Bible study. Yeah, but I've read it cover to cover a couple of times too.

46
00:03:23.160 --> 00:03:24.010
Tyler Johnson: Have you? Okay?

47
00:03:24.010 --> 00:03:24.620
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

48
00:03:24.820 --> 00:03:38.660
Tyler Johnson: Okay. Cause I've done Bible studies as well where it's like, okay, today, we're going to read through the Gospels or not today. But this chunk. We're gonna read through the Gospels. And this chunk we're going to read through the Peter's letter.

49
00:03:38.660 --> 00:03:39.060
Tad Eggleston: So.

50
00:03:39.060 --> 00:03:41.300
Tad Eggleston: And we're yeah, right? Right? Right?

51
00:03:42.410 --> 00:03:43.569
Tad Eggleston: No, I get it.

52
00:03:45.310 --> 00:03:53.400
Tad Eggleston: and and I think those are fine ways to do it as well, I I think it's like an anthology really.

53
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:53.720
Tyler Johnson: I talk.

54
00:03:53.720 --> 00:03:59.271
Tad Eggleston: Where, you know it's not like it was. It was designed to be put in a specific order.

55
00:03:59.930 --> 00:04:08.190
Tad Eggleston: There was editorial decision making to to decide the order as well as which books got included and which books didn't.

56
00:04:11.090 --> 00:04:17.470
Tad Eggleston: Because, you know, the Catholic Bible has, I think, 8 more books than a Protestant Bible.

57
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.259
Tad Eggleston: and that's before you even get into the Apocrypha.

58
00:04:21.269 --> 00:04:23.059
Tyler Johnson: Right. I know.

59
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:25.470
Tyler Johnson: Cool.

60
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:28.409
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I would love to do. We get.

61
00:04:28.410 --> 00:04:38.140
Tad Eggleston: We could, we could go down a hole. But yeah, I actually even have already purchased. I came across

62
00:04:41.090 --> 00:04:43.660
Tad Eggleston: somebody. Well, I mean, I've got a number

63
00:04:44.520 --> 00:04:50.910
Tad Eggleston: digital Bible comics already purchased, purchased from different places and times.

64
00:04:51.070 --> 00:04:56.640
Tad Eggleston: But there, there's a recent one that looked relatively good.

65
00:04:56.730 --> 00:04:58.620
Tad Eggleston: that I picked up a gospel.

66
00:04:58.730 --> 00:05:09.629
Tad Eggleston: because that's kind of how I always judge how people are doing them. How do they treat the Gospels? Because, to be honest, as far as I'm concerned, those are the 4 important books.

67
00:05:11.388 --> 00:05:13.459
Tyler Johnson: Exactly for the yeah.

68
00:05:13.460 --> 00:05:19.090
Tad Eggleston: Everything else in the Bible needs to be seen through the lens of those 4 books.

69
00:05:19.640 --> 00:05:20.353
Tyler Johnson: I agree.

70
00:05:20.710 --> 00:05:29.219
Tad Eggleston: And even those 4 books. You need to understand that they're being written by humans. You know the whole divine Word of God. Thing. I'm not

71
00:05:29.290 --> 00:05:35.280
Tad Eggleston: not big on. And yeah.

72
00:05:35.470 --> 00:05:36.090
Tyler Johnson: No, I agree.

73
00:05:36.090 --> 00:05:37.480
Tad Eggleston: That's a whole whole different.

74
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:42.909
Tyler Johnson: That's a whole nother conversation. But but yeah, I'm I'm in the same boat as that, I I think.

75
00:05:43.060 --> 00:05:46.876
Tyler Johnson: Anyway, personal beliefs aside.

76
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:54.840
Tyler Johnson: I would love to read in a comic version of the Gospels, or.

77
00:05:54.840 --> 00:06:00.170
Tad Eggleston: Maybe that's what we'll do for Christmas, sure. Yeah, that's perfect.

78
00:06:00.170 --> 00:06:02.340
Tad Eggleston: Christmas or Easter. We'll choose a.

79
00:06:02.780 --> 00:06:03.380
Tyler Johnson: Sure.

80
00:06:04.119 --> 00:06:09.989
Tad Eggleston: But but we gotta balance it and do like either second coming or or

81
00:06:10.190 --> 00:06:12.660
Tad Eggleston: God is disappointed in you with it.

82
00:06:12.790 --> 00:06:14.399
Tad Eggleston: Actually, if if

83
00:06:14.760 --> 00:06:23.490
Tad Eggleston: it would be an interesting thing to like actually read a gospel. The comic version of it, the

84
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:31.979
Tad Eggleston: and, like. The the chapter from God, is disappointed in you that summarizes it.

85
00:06:32.100 --> 00:06:32.680
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

86
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:34.550
Tyler Johnson: And then later.

87
00:06:34.550 --> 00:06:35.110
Tad Eggleston: Out! Loud!

88
00:06:35.110 --> 00:06:35.550
Tyler Johnson: On!

89
00:06:35.550 --> 00:06:45.450
Tad Eggleston: As we record on Sunday morning. This is all coming up because because we actually need to try to record quickly, because Tyler's actually going to church with his wife this morning? Yeah.

90
00:06:45.750 --> 00:06:46.630
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. She asked me.

91
00:06:46.630 --> 00:06:50.773
Tad Eggleston: This is the this is the entire reason. This is all on our minds.

92
00:06:51.974 --> 00:07:03.640
Tyler Johnson: She asked me if I would come because she's been asked to go on a trip to Guatemala, and they're Gonna talk about it today in the service and recognize the people who are going. And so I was like, Okay.

93
00:07:04.280 --> 00:07:07.260
Tyler Johnson: I will definitely come. Yeah.

94
00:07:07.260 --> 00:07:07.840
Tad Eggleston: Right.

95
00:07:08.590 --> 00:07:10.380
Tyler Johnson: Oh, let's get into our news.

96
00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:15.139
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah, in, I want to say

97
00:07:16.780 --> 00:07:22.020
Tad Eggleston: bad news, because it's not over. And hopefully they can do

98
00:07:22.640 --> 00:07:26.839
Tad Eggleston: either some refiling or individual filing.

99
00:07:27.550 --> 00:07:36.549
Tad Eggleston: A judge dismissed the class action suit against action lab this week.

100
00:07:38.450 --> 00:07:40.799
Tad Eggleston: But essentially it was

101
00:07:40.810 --> 00:07:50.610
Tad Eggleston: dismissed because everybody, because the individual contracts tended to vary enough that everybody had different claims, and it didn't fit

102
00:07:53.260 --> 00:07:56.079
Tad Eggleston: a true class action.

103
00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:02.499
Tad Eggleston: So so, in other words, he didn't dismiss the idea that they could individually sue.

104
00:08:02.740 --> 00:08:06.530
Tyler Johnson: But but the complaint, as it was laid out, didn't.

105
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.590
Tad Eggleston: Didn't qualify as a class action.

106
00:08:10.870 --> 00:08:11.230
Tyler Johnson: Here.

107
00:08:15.010 --> 00:08:22.189
Tad Eggleston: You know, as as we talked about ages ago, action lab has not really been paying

108
00:08:22.330 --> 00:08:30.570
Tad Eggleston: anything to their creators. The books themselves seem to have gone out of print, but because they're still available

109
00:08:31.030 --> 00:08:36.659
Tad Eggleston: through action lab on comixology, etc. They're not considered out of print.

110
00:08:36.760 --> 00:08:41.460
Tad Eggleston: So action lab retains the rights to to various books.

111
00:08:42.292 --> 00:08:44.100
Tad Eggleston: The creators can't even

112
00:08:44.510 --> 00:08:53.620
Tad Eggleston: use their properties or characters. So a it's it's a reminder to everybody. Go over your contracts with a fine tooth comb totally worth

113
00:08:54.270 --> 00:09:00.010
Tad Eggleston: spending a hundred bucks on a lawyer, or whatever or or or

114
00:09:00.460 --> 00:09:04.859
Tad Eggleston: I think there are resources in the comics community check out.

115
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:11.340
Tad Eggleston: I can't remember. There's Comics Union.

116
00:09:11.680 --> 00:09:12.630
Tyler Johnson: Oh, okay.

117
00:09:13.940 --> 00:09:17.320
Tad Eggleston: I mean, it's not actually a union, because because

118
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:23.830
Tad Eggleston: there's no easy way to to form a comics union.

119
00:09:27.580 --> 00:09:34.482
Tad Eggleston: But but yeah, is just yeah.

120
00:09:34.930 --> 00:09:35.520
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

121
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:39.859
Tad Eggleston: Promise. Creators make certain you understand your contracts.

122
00:09:39.890 --> 00:09:40.520
Tyler Johnson: Right

123
00:09:43.100 --> 00:09:47.159
Tad Eggleston: Similar on the business side. There's a new marketing app.

124
00:09:48.610 --> 00:09:50.850
Tad Eggleston: Called bindings

125
00:09:52.011 --> 00:10:02.438
Tad Eggleston: being developed by by the guy that that also developed an app called suite. That's kind of a 1-stop shop for a lot of comic stuff.

126
00:10:03.630 --> 00:10:06.760
Tad Eggleston: and had been one of the partners in omnibus, which, of course,

127
00:10:08.650 --> 00:10:13.389
Tad Eggleston: I don't want to say failed. Lost the race with global comics.

128
00:10:14.100 --> 00:10:23.079
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, but bindings is is it's it's it's trying to create a a more one-stop

129
00:10:30.400 --> 00:10:35.439
Tad Eggleston: easy to use place for for

130
00:10:36.100 --> 00:10:41.760
Tad Eggleston: creators to do a lot of the the marketing stuff that right.

131
00:10:42.340 --> 00:10:53.740
Tad Eggleston: I don't know all the details, though. There's a nice interview up at the beat that I didn't finish reading, so go over to the beat and check that out. And

132
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:54.820
Tad Eggleston: if

133
00:10:55.390 --> 00:11:02.410
Tad Eggleston: comics marketing is something that interests you, it's something that interests me, so I'm certain I'll finish reading it eventually. I just haven't yet.

134
00:11:02.410 --> 00:11:04.059
Tyler Johnson: I will be reading it as well, because that yeah.

135
00:11:04.060 --> 00:11:04.730
Tad Eggleston: That's very interesting.

136
00:11:04.730 --> 00:11:11.620
Tad Eggleston: Sing to me, and last, but not least, at least for the moment.

137
00:11:12.890 --> 00:11:15.830
Tad Eggleston: and we know that people like this always have

138
00:11:17.450 --> 00:11:22.800
Tad Eggleston: second, 3, rd 4, th 17th acts. But

139
00:11:23.040 --> 00:11:28.929
Tad Eggleston: Matt Gaetz has decided that he's a

140
00:11:29.310 --> 00:11:39.020
Tad Eggleston: distraction to to the great work that Potaselect is is doing.

141
00:11:39.050 --> 00:11:43.960
Tad Eggleston: Yes, so he has withdrawn his name from consideration for Attorney General.

142
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:44.540
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

143
00:11:44.540 --> 00:11:46.390
Tad Eggleston: And and just kind of

144
00:11:46.900 --> 00:11:55.230
Tad Eggleston: gone away. He also announced he will not be returning to Congress. He will not be returning to Congress. I mean, you know, he's going to wind up

145
00:11:55.880 --> 00:12:00.658
Tad Eggleston: doing something for trump later, but at least for the next couple of months.

146
00:12:01.780 --> 00:12:06.540
Tad Eggleston: He! He appears to be going away because

147
00:12:09.700 --> 00:12:16.426
Tad Eggleston: well, because, as as Adam, as Adam Kinzinger put it,

148
00:12:17.280 --> 00:12:23.410
Tad Eggleston: If if they had found that he hadn't committed statutory rape, they.

149
00:12:23.780 --> 00:12:26.279
Tad Eggleston: Would have released the report already.

150

Tyler Johnson: Oh, Number one for me by far and away was.

314
00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:39.980
Tad Eggleston: That was so good.

315
00:30:39.980 --> 00:30:40.989
Tyler Johnson: I loved it.

316
00:30:41.040 --> 00:30:46.540
Tyler Johnson: I am. I am so glad he brought this back, or they brought this back. I'm not sure if it was John or Alex.

317
00:30:46.540 --> 00:30:52.329
Tad Eggleston: I think they've got another one coming. They never really went away. It's just a matter they kickstart them all. So

318
00:30:52.710 --> 00:30:55.620
Tad Eggleston: yeah, they do. The campaigns somewhat.

319
00:30:57.280 --> 00:31:10.000
Tyler Johnson: I cannot find Number 10 anywhere like when when that original 10 issue run came out, I got to the store too late and missed Number 10, and I have not been able to find it, and and you can get it on Amazon, for, like 18 bucks.

320
00:31:10.340 --> 00:31:21.790
Tad Eggleston: Well, the next time they do a Kickstarter pay attention because they often have back issues available. So even if you don't order it.

321
00:31:23.450 --> 00:31:31.680
Tad Eggleston: On Kickstarter. I likely will, and the back issues are sometimes available as add-ons. So if you remind me.

322
00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:32.300
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

323
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:34.480

Tyler Johnson: venom war. This is the only venom war book I'm reading. It's Jeff from Kelly.

326
00:31:48.470 --> 00:31:50.559
Tad Eggleston: It's Jeff is so amazing.

327
00:31:50.560 --> 00:31:50.990
Tyler Johnson: Hero.

328
00:31:50.990 --> 00:31:51.630
Tad Eggleston: If.

329
00:31:51.630 --> 00:31:54.771
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, it was. It was so funny.

330
00:31:55.820 --> 00:32:04.600
Tyler Johnson: anyway. If you want to see what the venom symbiote and Jeff combined together is like, read venom war. It's Jeff number one.

331
00:32:04.630 --> 00:32:13.820
Tyler Johnson: and my favorite new ongoing minor arcana number 3 from Jeff Lemire. Boom was really good.

332
00:32:14.810 --> 00:32:16.040
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, about you.

333
00:32:16.370 --> 00:32:21.759
Tad Eggleston: My top book was the penultimate issue of Fellhounds. Sir.

334
00:32:22.829 --> 00:32:32.480
Tad Eggleston: I don't remember what, sir, stands for right now, but it's essentially motorcycle, jousting and and prep school.

335
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:33.130
Tyler Johnson: That sounds awesome.

336
00:32:33.130 --> 00:32:39.203
Tad Eggleston: Hi, Jinx, I've loved this book, loved this book, loved this book.

Tad Eggleston: like.

339
00:32:54.190 --> 00:33:02.400
Tyler Johnson: Dave Chisholm and I are friends on Facebook, and he's been liking a lot of the I've been reposting your Instagram posts onto my face. My personal Facebook.

340
00:33:02.870 --> 00:33:03.680
Tad Eggleston: But.

341
00:33:03.948 --> 00:33:06.900
Tyler Johnson: Dave Chisholm's like been liking them. So that's kind of cool.

342
00:33:06.900 --> 00:33:12.460
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, Dave Chisholm also follows us on blue sky and and.

343
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:15.590
Tad Eggleston: And whatnot, and has been on our show.

344
00:33:15.630 --> 00:33:23.270
Tad Eggleston: and we'll likely be back soon. I emailed with him this week. So I just got to give a give him our post

345
00:33:23.520 --> 00:33:29.919
Tad Eggleston: post, a Thanksgiving availability, and we'll set something up.

346
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:30.520
Tyler Johnson: Sure.

347
00:33:30.800 --> 00:33:31.593
Tad Eggleston: So. Yeah.

348
00:33:32.140 --> 00:33:35.720
Tad Eggleston: And then, Tom. Oh, Tom.

349
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:37.899
Tyler Johnson: Oh, Tom! Good at comics!

350
00:33:37.900 --> 00:33:44.880
Tad Eggleston: Yes, Tom, King Danielson, Perry, and Carrie Randolph Kari, like Atari

351
00:33:45.810 --> 00:33:53.580
Tad Eggleston: knocked it out of the park with wonder. Woman number 15 continues to just be so good.

352
00:33:53.580 --> 00:33:56.729
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, so good.

353
00:33:57.940 --> 00:34:01.340
Tyler Johnson: What else came out this week. I'm looking over your list.

354
00:34:01.650 --> 00:34:01.990
Tad Eggleston: RAM.

355
00:34:01.990 --> 00:34:05.599
Tyler Johnson: Batman and Robin was really good. I just finished that this morning.

356
00:34:06.247 --> 00:34:11.291
Tyler Johnson: Let's see. Epitask from the abyss was so close to making my list.

357
00:34:11.810 --> 00:34:15.099
Tyler Johnson: The stories in there were just great.

358
00:34:20.230 --> 00:34:21.270
Tad Eggleston: It was a good week.

359
00:34:21.270 --> 00:34:22.440
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, there's so much.

360
00:34:22.449 --> 00:34:23.919
Tad Eggleston: Phone dogs was great.

361
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:24.550
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

362
00:34:25.650 --> 00:34:28.850
Tad Eggleston: Jenny Sparks was great. Shadow cabinet was great.

363
00:34:29.010 --> 00:34:30.619
Tyler Johnson: Vicarious was good.

364
00:34:31.420 --> 00:34:34.229
Tad Eggleston: Question. All along the watchtower was great.

365
00:34:34.230 --> 00:34:42.249
Tyler Johnson: Holy crap. Okay, so not to not to change the subject. But you and I are chain moving into our one piece race next year, and.

366
00:34:42.250 --> 00:34:44.790
Tad Eggleston: And we continue to be neck and neck.

367
00:34:44.790 --> 00:34:47.420
Tyler Johnson: How? How did we pull that off? Last week we were.

368
00:34:47.429 --> 00:34:47.939
Tad Eggleston: I don't know.

369
00:34:47.940 --> 00:34:49.399
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. The trio. 4.

370
00:34:49.409 --> 00:34:53.139
Tad Eggleston: We both read 6, 6 chapters this week.

371
00:34:54.821 --> 00:35:06.779
Tad Eggleston: So you know, we just, I, I actually think that that this is this is an interesting point to to, because our our great responsibility this week is is the

372
00:35:06.889 --> 00:35:10.299
Tad Eggleston: Naoki. Urasawa is just outstanding.

373
00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:12.569
Tad Eggleston: Isadora.

374
00:35:12.570 --> 00:35:13.280
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

375
00:35:14.240 --> 00:35:16.649
Tad Eggleston: Volume 8 came out this week.

376
00:35:16.650 --> 00:35:18.580
Tyler Johnson: Lot of manga in this episode.

377
00:35:19.059 --> 00:35:25.289
Tad Eggleston: And I think I think the contrast between the 2 is fascinating, because.

378
00:35:25.290 --> 00:35:25.609
Tyler Johnson: Oh, yeah.

379
00:35:26.640 --> 00:35:28.010
Tad Eggleston: Where

380
00:35:36.500 --> 00:35:46.180
Tyler Johnson: So the action in one piece happens so quickly that I don't feel that I'm absorbing it all, whereas we're going to get into Asa door in a second.

381
00:35:46.270 --> 00:35:50.651
Tyler Johnson: It's it's much more deep, and it's slower paced, and it's

382
00:35:51.050 --> 00:35:54.080
Tad Eggleston: It gives you more time to breathe.

383
00:35:54.080 --> 00:35:54.560
Tyler Johnson: Yup!

384
00:35:55.940 --> 00:36:05.170
Tad Eggleston: But I was also going to point out that that, like one piece, sometimes feels like the chapters are completely arbitrary, like like

385
00:36:05.930 --> 00:36:13.060
Tad Eggleston: 5 chapters are really all one scene, and there was no thought whatsoever other than page count to

386
00:36:13.420 --> 00:36:20.839
Tad Eggleston: where to end them. You know it doesn't feel like you've got a weekly cliffhanger all the time. It feels like it's just.

387
00:36:21.030 --> 00:36:23.110
Tyler Johnson: It ends where it ends, when.

388
00:36:23.110 --> 00:36:26.390
Tad Eggleston: It ends where it ends, and then you pick up with the next chapter.

389
00:36:26.510 --> 00:36:31.070
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. And that's okay. I'm not not not bashing that at all.

390
00:36:31.070 --> 00:36:33.970
Tyler Johnson: That was a conscious choice. Or do you think that's just how he writes.

391
00:36:34.260 --> 00:36:42.930
Tad Eggleston: I don't know. I have no idea, but but I do think that it really really contrasts.

392
00:36:43.660 --> 00:36:49.300
Tad Eggleston: And for that matter, as I think about it. Isadora.

393
00:36:50.860 --> 00:36:55.209
Tad Eggleston: Contrasts a lot of other comics, too, in that

394
00:36:55.870 --> 00:37:01.540
Tad Eggleston: half, I mean, every once in a while their chapters are.

395
00:37:03.970 --> 00:37:12.920
Tad Eggleston: It'll it'll be a cliffhanger leading into the next chapter, right? But just as likely it wraps up

396
00:37:13.970 --> 00:37:17.640
Tad Eggleston: kind of a scene. And then the next chapter

397
00:37:19.520 --> 00:37:22.759
Tad Eggleston: is a different scene somewhere else

398
00:37:23.220 --> 00:37:31.829
Tad Eggleston: with someone else, or at a different time, you know. So it's got much more of that literary novel

399
00:37:32.520 --> 00:37:35.729
Tad Eggleston: type thing where where chapters are.

400
00:37:37.740 --> 00:37:44.580
Tad Eggleston: Chapters are a thing unto themselves rather than a thing to get you to buy the next one.

401
00:37:45.630 --> 00:37:47.239
Tyler Johnson: Yes, I agree.

402
00:37:49.310 --> 00:37:49.830
Tyler Johnson: It's just.

403
00:37:49.830 --> 00:37:54.039
Tad Eggleston: So I mean, it's it's a huge contrast to to

404
00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:59.700
Tad Eggleston: to one piece, where I think one of the reasons that we've slowed down is one piece is just like

405
00:37:59.990 --> 00:38:01.880
Tad Eggleston: constant climax.

406
00:38:02.630 --> 00:38:05.329
Tyler Johnson: True, there is no low.

407
00:38:06.380 --> 00:38:18.540
Tad Eggleston: There's no there, there's like no buildup. There's certainly never really any falling action resolution, you know.

408
00:38:18.580 --> 00:38:24.630
Tad Eggleston: You'll have falling action for a few pages and jump into the next climax.

409
00:38:25.340 --> 00:38:29.460
Tyler Johnson: That's exactly what. Oh, man, I've never put it into words.

410
00:38:29.460 --> 00:38:40.760
Tad Eggleston: Barely back from Sky Island, when, like we were full on into it, on, on the Island of Long Things.

411
00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:47.970
Tyler Johnson: Yep, yes, God, I've never really thought about it like that. But yes, that that might be.

412
00:38:47.970 --> 00:38:52.160
Tad Eggleston: I mean, it's it's like, you know, I mean, like, think, think about.

413
00:38:52.900 --> 00:39:01.809
Tad Eggleston: and don't get me wrong. I say this lovingly, because it's my favorite Star Wars movie. But think about return of the Jedi return of the Jedi

414
00:39:02.980 --> 00:39:11.099
Tad Eggleston: has like what 10 min of build up before you're in full on action

415
00:39:11.160 --> 00:39:22.920
Tad Eggleston: on Tatooine, yeah. And then a mild breathing spot where you

416
00:39:24.050 --> 00:39:31.570
Tad Eggleston: go, see Yoda die and and see the meeting where they're talking about many bothins died to

417
00:39:32.180 --> 00:39:40.899
Tad Eggleston: to get these or to get this information, and then it's full on action and endor until the end.

418
00:39:41.820 --> 00:39:44.819
Tad Eggleston: And then when it's the end, you get a party, and that's it.

419
00:39:45.210 --> 00:39:45.810
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

420
00:39:46.030 --> 00:39:49.150
Tad Eggleston: It's not like this, you know, so like it's

421
00:39:49.770 --> 00:39:56.069
Tad Eggleston: I don't know if it's still the longest Star Wars movie. But of the original trilogy. It was the longest of them.

422
00:39:56.400 --> 00:40:00.429
Tad Eggleston: By almost half an hour, and, like

423
00:40:01.520 --> 00:40:05.920
Tad Eggleston: the equivalent of either of the other 2 movies, is all just climax.

424
00:40:07.380 --> 00:40:08.359
Tyler Johnson: That's true.

425
00:40:10.820 --> 00:40:11.870
Tyler Johnson: That's true.

426
00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:12.880
Tyler Johnson: It.

427
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:13.430
Tad Eggleston: I feel like.

428
00:40:13.430 --> 00:40:19.480
Tyler Johnson: I mean, and I feel like like I said. I read Isadora in one sitting

429
00:40:20.222 --> 00:40:23.537
Tyler Johnson: this volume of it, and with

430
00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:30.750
Tyler Johnson: one piece. I have to do it chapter by chapter. I can't read a volume at one time.

431
00:40:30.750 --> 00:40:33.559
Tad Eggleston: See earlier on I could.

432
00:40:34.120 --> 00:40:37.149
Tad Eggleston: But the deeper we get, the harder it gets.

433
00:40:37.150 --> 00:40:42.040
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I gotta take a break. I read a chapter, and then I'm like

434
00:40:42.130 --> 00:40:45.860
Tyler Johnson: off doing something else for a little while, and I'll come back and read a chapter, and then.

435
00:40:45.860 --> 00:40:52.609
Tad Eggleston: Because I mean, it's still it's still fascinating. I mean, I think, one of the things that that

436
00:40:52.750 --> 00:40:58.205
Tad Eggleston: and I almost want to like test it by randomly jumping forward.

437
00:40:58.780 --> 00:41:03.329
Tad Eggleston: More and more. It feels like you could pick up any volume and enjoy it.

438
00:41:04.720 --> 00:41:08.340
Tyler Johnson: True, that's true.

439
00:41:08.790 --> 00:41:15.880
Tad Eggleston: I mean. I wonder if it I wonder if you could almost read it in random order and not have it matter.

440
00:41:16.240 --> 00:41:17.680
Tyler Johnson: None of it. Matter.

441
00:41:19.410 --> 00:41:20.380
Tyler Johnson: That's fun!

442
00:41:21.090 --> 00:41:24.499
Tad Eggleston: Because it's almost. It's almost like episodes of the Simpsons.

443
00:41:24.980 --> 00:41:25.730
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

444
00:41:26.300 --> 00:41:34.720
Tad Eggleston: I mean, really, the only way it builds on it itself is is the the new characters that are picked up along the way.

445
00:41:34.720 --> 00:41:38.129
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I would say they always pick up a new character.

446
00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:39.110
Tad Eggleston: Right.

447
00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:43.247
Tyler Johnson: So that's what keeps it fresh, I guess.

448
00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:54.500
Tad Eggleston: Well, I mean it's again. It's not even I mean the Simpsons is is plenty. I mean again. I don't know that I can give much higher.

449
00:41:55.140 --> 00:41:58.289
Tad Eggleston: higher praise than to compare something to the Simpsons.

450
00:41:58.290 --> 00:42:05.290
Tyler Johnson: Oh, I was. No, no! I was talking about one piece introducing a new character every every arc, you know, kind of thing.

451
00:42:05.790 --> 00:42:06.950
Tad Eggleston: Right?

452
00:42:07.310 --> 00:42:20.380
Tad Eggleston: Well, but sometimes when people say Keep things fresh, they mean that it's it's having trouble being stale. And and I don't think there's any part of it that's stale. It's just.

453
00:42:20.830 --> 00:42:26.580
Tyler Johnson: I meant in the fact that not it's it's a way to prevent it from getting stale is what kind of.

454
00:42:26.580 --> 00:42:27.260
Tad Eggleston: Right.

455
00:42:27.260 --> 00:42:28.170
Tyler Johnson: I didn't mean that.

456
00:42:28.170 --> 00:42:35.219
Tad Eggleston: But also I am almost. I'm really. I'm really starting to believe that the proper way to read one piece.

457
00:42:36.150 --> 00:42:37.480
Tad Eggleston: Is a chapter week.

458
00:42:39.660 --> 00:42:40.970
Tyler Johnson: That's not a bad idea.

459
00:42:41.590 --> 00:42:46.399
Tad Eggleston: I mean, we're not gonna do it that way because we'd be doing it for the next.

460
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:48.430
Tyler Johnson: Would never end. But right.

461
00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:53.659
Tad Eggleston: But but I feel like the people who have gotten the greatest one piece.

462
00:42:53.770 --> 00:42:58.040
Tyler Johnson: Experience are, are the people who started the earliest.

463
00:42:58.600 --> 00:43:05.159
Tad Eggleston: And if they were in Japan, literally read a chapter a week, and if they were in the United States, read

464
00:43:05.540 --> 00:43:10.210
Tad Eggleston: a collection every what 6 months! 8 months!

465
00:43:10.210 --> 00:43:10.750
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

466
00:43:17.410 --> 00:43:39.939
Tad Eggleston: because I don't know how well it lends itself to to binging. I mean, I want to continue binging, but you know what I mean, I don't know. You know there's some things that like are longer than that. Well, not longer than this, but longer than what we've done so far in this that we've still like jumped into and just plowed through.

467
00:43:39.940 --> 00:43:42.144
Tyler Johnson: I agree? Yeah. And then maybe that's not has.

468
00:43:42.510 --> 00:43:45.790
Tyler Johnson: Maybe that wasn't the best plan of action. But it's.

469
00:43:45.790 --> 00:43:47.040
Tad Eggleston: Well, we didn't know.

470
00:43:47.040 --> 00:43:48.210
Tyler Johnson: Exactly.

471
00:43:48.210 --> 00:43:53.119
Tad Eggleston: We didn't have any experience with it, and and you know I can. Still, you know, I think

472
00:43:53.470 --> 00:43:56.830
Tad Eggleston: again, I think there's a really good chance that, like

473
00:43:58.230 --> 00:44:06.140
Tad Eggleston: over Thanksgiving break, I could find myself with a few hours and decide to devote them to one piece and plow through 20 chapters at once.

474
00:44:08.240 --> 00:44:15.709
Tad Eggleston: I could see I could see over Christmas break, you know, picking up a lot of ground, you know.

475
00:44:16.643 --> 00:44:22.469
Tad Eggleston: But when when you're trying to. I mean, just like like over the summer is where we did.

476
00:44:22.510 --> 00:44:27.680
Tad Eggleston: We got like 200 chapters a piece over the summer, and we've done

477
00:44:28.220 --> 00:44:30.940
Tad Eggleston: a hundred chapters since the school year started.

478
00:44:31.110 --> 00:44:31.730
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

479
00:44:32.190 --> 00:44:33.456
Tad Eggleston: You know

480
00:44:36.610 --> 00:44:42.059
Tyler Johnson: It. Yeah, I mean, it's definitely indicative of what we've got going on. That's for sure.

481
00:44:42.350 --> 00:44:42.800
Tad Eggleston: Right.

482
00:44:43.399 --> 00:44:57.410
Tyler Johnson: But as far as a Saddora goes this story in this volume, I felt was really cool. I really liked the fact. There really wasn't any monster in it this time for her to battle.

483
00:44:58.280 --> 00:44:59.320
Tyler Johnson: But

484
00:44:59.580 --> 00:45:05.358
Tyler Johnson: I loved how everybody was like talk, you know, on the beach waiting to see it. I loved

485
00:45:06.670 --> 00:45:11.399
Tyler Johnson: God! What's that kid's name with the drug addiction now? Who used to want to be in the Olympics.

486
00:45:12.874 --> 00:45:16.350
Tad Eggleston: We got characters up front. So show.

487
00:45:16.590 --> 00:45:17.270
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

488
00:45:18.210 --> 00:45:23.239
Tyler Johnson: Show was is really struggling with his addiction. I mean he

489
00:45:23.300 --> 00:45:31.210
Tyler Johnson: he firmly believes that he's battling the kaiju when he takes his illegal drugs.

490
00:45:32.020 --> 00:45:39.139
Tad Eggleston: I loved the her, her friend becoming the the pop star.

491
00:45:39.542 --> 00:45:40.750
Tyler Johnson: That's very cool.

492
00:45:41.762 --> 00:45:44.650
Tyler Johnson: You feel good for her. You know what I mean that she's like.

493
00:45:44.650 --> 00:45:47.020
Tad Eggleston: And then, like the the Heist.

494
00:45:49.580 --> 00:45:52.549
Tad Eggleston: the heist of the film reels.

495
00:45:53.370 --> 00:46:01.780
Tyler Johnson: Why, so is that like that was like 4 years later, right? We started off in 1964, and by the end I think we've.

496
00:46:01.780 --> 00:46:04.519
Tad Eggleston: Gone through about 4 years.

497
00:46:04.520 --> 00:46:06.220
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, that's what I kind of judge, too.

498
00:46:06.220 --> 00:46:07.140
Tad Eggleston: Total.

499
00:46:09.030 --> 00:46:12.960
Tyler Johnson: But yes. So the the second plot point

500
00:46:12.970 --> 00:46:21.160
Tyler Johnson: was that the Eon was had become a famous film star. Well, maybe not famous, but she's on her.

501
00:46:21.160 --> 00:46:24.330
Tad Eggleston: I think I think she's a famous

502
00:46:24.420 --> 00:46:32.210
Tad Eggleston: music, relatively famous music person who's now trying to buoy her career

503
00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:37.679
Tad Eggleston: or her managers trying to buoy her career by getting her into film.

504
00:46:38.830 --> 00:46:44.380
Tyler Johnson: But she let herself get talked into doing a nude scene and.

505
00:46:44.380 --> 00:46:45.210
Tad Eggleston: Right.

506
00:46:45.210 --> 00:46:48.300
Tyler Johnson: She wants that movie. They stole the film.

507
00:46:48.300 --> 00:46:48.650
Tad Eggleston: Right.

508
00:46:48.650 --> 00:46:50.560
Tyler Johnson: Which is kind of funny.

509
00:46:51.470 --> 00:46:56.990
Tyler Johnson: Cause this was back in the day when you can. You could steal physically, steal the film, you know.

510
00:46:56.990 --> 00:46:59.670
Tad Eggleston: Right, the original reels.

511
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:05.989
Tad Eggleston: So yeah, it was. It was cool to see Aza heisting.

512
00:47:06.980 --> 00:47:12.990
Tad Eggleston: And then we've got this nice cliffhanger taking us all the way back to the beginning

513
00:47:15.810 --> 00:47:22.610
Tad Eggleston: where she discovers that the reason that the radio had trouble with

514
00:47:23.880 --> 00:47:29.210
Tad Eggleston: her song was because it's it's because I love you, not just because I.

515
00:47:29.210 --> 00:47:30.740
Tyler Johnson: Because I love you right?

516
00:47:30.740 --> 00:47:32.831
Tad Eggleston: And and she meets the

517
00:47:33.600 --> 00:47:34.769
Tyler Johnson: Meets the writer.

518
00:47:34.770 --> 00:47:36.290
Tad Eggleston: The the artist.

519
00:47:36.290 --> 00:47:36.710
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

520
00:47:36.710 --> 00:47:37.879
Tad Eggleston: In an alley.

521
00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:39.400
Tyler Johnson: So he turned.

522
00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:41.590
Tad Eggleston: And his acoustic guitar.

523
00:47:42.580 --> 00:47:45.550
Tyler Johnson: He turns out to be an American from Nashville, Tennessee.

524
00:47:45.550 --> 00:47:45.920
Tad Eggleston: Right.

525
00:47:45.920 --> 00:47:48.899
Tyler Johnson: Wrote wrote this song that they love.

526
00:47:48.900 --> 00:47:49.450
Tad Eggleston: Okay.

527
00:47:49.610 --> 00:47:53.559
Tyler Johnson: Well that she loves the other ones barely know what it is.

528
00:47:53.560 --> 00:47:55.250
Tyler Johnson: That's true. Yeah, that she loves.

529
00:47:55.790 --> 00:48:08.639
Tad Eggleston: You know, it's it's the one that got her through that day all the way back at the beginning. So I'm really, really interested to see where that storyline will go. That's that's a nice way to end a volume.

530
00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:16.530
Tad Eggleston: And that's like the the only Major Cliffhanger, you know. Otherwise it's like each chapter is a thing

531
00:48:17.140 --> 00:48:22.090
Tad Eggleston: you know. The the the 1st chapter is is.

532
00:48:22.560 --> 00:48:29.330
Tad Eggleston: you know, the news is now on top of the Kaiju.

533
00:48:29.340 --> 00:48:35.539
Tad Eggleston: and you know some of the some of the the friends stuff, too, including.

534
00:48:36.130 --> 00:48:45.349
Tad Eggleston: you know the fact that that Yonah has her audition coming up?

535
00:48:46.480 --> 00:48:48.319
Tad Eggleston: And then the.

536
00:48:48.320 --> 00:48:54.623
Tyler Johnson: The friends, discovering that she's using a stage name of Marilyn, not Monroe, but Maryland. What.

537
00:48:56.015 --> 00:48:56.970
Tad Eggleston: Namajin.

538
00:48:56.970 --> 00:48:58.370
Tyler Johnson: Navigin yep.

539
00:48:58.370 --> 00:48:59.060
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

540
00:48:59.590 --> 00:49:00.010
Tyler Johnson: And

541
00:49:00.430 --> 00:49:03.880
Tad Eggleston: Image and mean, doesn't it tell us I feel like it tells us.

542
00:49:04.310 --> 00:49:08.259
Tyler Johnson: And they also have a box that blows the skirt up like Marilyn Monroe.

543
00:49:08.260 --> 00:49:08.830
Tad Eggleston: Right.

544
00:49:09.212 --> 00:49:12.239
Tyler Johnson: A fan box kind of thing that she stands on

545
00:49:12.580 --> 00:49:18.161
Tyler Johnson: and does the skirt thing, and that's what you know gets to her audition.

546
00:49:18.560 --> 00:49:19.240
Tad Eggleston: Right.

547
00:49:19.730 --> 00:49:21.270
Tyler Johnson: Really makes it for.

548
00:49:21.270 --> 00:49:22.436
Tad Eggleston: And then

549
00:49:27.030 --> 00:49:31.030
Tad Eggleston: that is the one place where it kind of just flows.

550
00:49:31.690 --> 00:49:39.960
Tad Eggleston: You know the next chapter, youth, 1964 picks up right from the end of per

551
00:49:40.840 --> 00:49:46.870
Tad Eggleston: auditions. So in a lot of ways, those 2 chapters are are like one big

552
00:49:47.220 --> 00:49:53.010
Tad Eggleston: event, but then they flow back into the Kaiju sightings.

553
00:49:58.240 --> 00:50:00.360
Tad Eggleston: And then oh.

554
00:50:04.320 --> 00:50:06.799
Tad Eggleston: I I forgot that.

555
00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:07.380
Tyler Johnson: What?

556
00:50:07.750 --> 00:50:15.319
Tad Eggleston: The the beginning of the the Shiso dancer.

557
00:50:15.910 --> 00:50:16.510
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

558
00:50:16.710 --> 00:50:21.829
Tad Eggleston: The beginning of chapter 55 is actually

559
00:50:26.870 --> 00:50:28.080
Tad Eggleston: It's.

560
00:50:30.290 --> 00:50:32.030
Tyler Johnson: Foreshadowing.

561
00:50:34.670 --> 00:50:36.719
Tyler Johnson: When she's got the film.

562
00:50:36.720 --> 00:50:40.662
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, cause when she's got the film, she's

563
00:50:41.970 --> 00:50:45.129
Tad Eggleston: climbing and and holding onto the wall and.

564
00:50:45.130 --> 00:50:47.310
Tyler Johnson: Right yep.

565
00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:49.130
Tyler Johnson: Cool.

566
00:50:49.650 --> 00:50:50.700
Tad Eggleston: So, yeah.

567
00:50:50.900 --> 00:50:52.280
Tyler Johnson: It was really good.

568
00:50:52.570 --> 00:50:56.170
Tad Eggleston: It was nice to get the the war stories.

569
00:50:56.830 --> 00:50:59.255
Tad Eggleston: It was a nice interlude with

570
00:51:03.680 --> 00:51:06.950
Tad Eggleston: What was it, Mister Mister Kasuga?

571
00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:15.170
Tad Eggleston: And we're introduced to to his mechanic

572
00:51:16.970 --> 00:51:20.440
Tad Eggleston: who's working for lower pay. But it's because

573
00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:25.349
Tad Eggleston: he always brought his crews home.

574
00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:35.539
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, this was it was just I mean, Urasawa's art is always just outstanding.

575
00:51:35.790 --> 00:51:36.810
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

576
00:51:36.810 --> 00:51:37.230
Tyler Johnson: I think.

577
00:51:37.230 --> 00:51:43.560
Tad Eggleston: That's the other thing his, I mean, when you compare him to to

578
00:51:44.320 --> 00:51:48.249
Tad Eggleston: Oda. It's just much cleaner.

579
00:51:50.790 --> 00:51:56.009
Tad Eggleston: One piece sometimes gets really cluttered in its action.

580
00:51:56.010 --> 00:51:57.410
Tyler Johnson: Yes, I think.

581
00:51:57.872 --> 00:52:06.200
Tad Eggleston: Urasawa is is much, and it's not. It's not that there's necessarily less action, but he's much cleaner.

582
00:52:06.620 --> 00:52:10.080
Tad Eggleston: He's more sparse. You know what I mean. He lets things breathe.

583
00:52:10.080 --> 00:52:14.443
Tyler Johnson: Despite the fact that he often has more detailed backgrounds. True,

584
00:52:15.690 --> 00:52:21.489
Tyler Johnson: like. There's a page, I think it's like page 93 or 92,

585
00:52:21.620 --> 00:52:25.211
Tyler Johnson: where the director of the film that it

586
00:52:27.440 --> 00:52:30.100
Tyler Johnson: the with the topless scene in it.

587
00:52:30.100 --> 00:52:30.920
Tad Eggleston: Right.

588
00:52:31.080 --> 00:52:34.570
Tyler Johnson: Th there's so much going on where he's swinging his arms and.

589
00:52:34.570 --> 00:52:35.310
Tad Eggleston: Right.

590
00:52:35.922 --> 00:52:37.219
Tyler Johnson: Just being crazy.

591
00:52:37.730 --> 00:52:38.590
Tad Eggleston: Right.

592
00:52:39.010 --> 00:52:41.120
Tyler Johnson: Oh, man, anyway.

593
00:52:41.440 --> 00:52:42.470
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

594
00:52:42.470 --> 00:52:44.080
Tad Eggleston: Looking forward to the next one.

595
00:52:44.080 --> 00:52:46.290
Tyler Johnson: For sure. Hopefully, that will be out

596
00:52:47.041 --> 00:52:55.229
Tyler Johnson: early next year, or maybe maybe spring of 25. I'm hoping.

597
00:52:55.910 --> 00:53:00.309
Tad Eggleston: So, Tyler, what are you hoping will be spectacular, or I get to start.

598
00:53:00.310 --> 00:53:01.489
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. What are you going to be.

599
00:53:01.490 --> 00:53:05.420
Tad Eggleston: Right. This is really really weird.

600
00:53:06.190 --> 00:53:08.969
Tad Eggleston: All of my picks are marvel. DC, books.

601
00:53:08.970 --> 00:53:09.800
Tyler Johnson: Wow!

602
00:53:10.400 --> 00:53:13.595
Tad Eggleston: I know I know I feel like a traitor.

603
00:53:14.448 --> 00:53:17.439
Tyler Johnson: Coming over to the dark side.

604
00:53:17.440 --> 00:53:26.290
Tad Eggleston: But but Kelly Thompson's absolute Wonder woman number 2, with Hayden, Sherman, Spencer, Ackerman's

605
00:53:28.050 --> 00:53:51.310
Tad Eggleston: Iron Man, number 2, with Julius Oda and Chris Condon's green Arrow number 18 with Monto. So I mean, part of it is like it's 3 friends writing comics. And and another part of it is these 3 friends write particularly good comics. It's not just that they're friends.

606
00:53:52.200 --> 00:53:56.564
Tad Eggleston: It's that they also rate really good comics.

607
00:53:57.380 --> 00:54:08.449
Tad Eggleston: And then, of course, the book that I know is spectacular. Thank you, Tom, for sending me a look at Black Canary. Best of the best number one. Holy fuck, is it? Good?

608
00:54:08.750 --> 00:54:11.170
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. It was so fun talking to him about it.

609
00:54:11.170 --> 00:54:14.949
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, so, so, so good.

610
00:54:17.130 --> 00:54:21.449
Tad Eggleston: And I hope suntress and enjoys the Johnny Suntrus character.

611
00:54:21.450 --> 00:54:22.170
Tyler Johnson: -

612
00:54:22.430 --> 00:54:28.430
Tad Eggleston: Cause. I I like literally hear it in John's voice. I mean, it's like a caricature of of how John can get.

613
00:54:28.430 --> 00:54:29.470
Tyler Johnson: Job, talks. Yeah.

614
00:54:29.470 --> 00:54:29.734
Tad Eggleston: Right.

615
00:54:30.680 --> 00:54:31.389
Tyler Johnson: Can you see that.

616
00:54:31.780 --> 00:54:37.240
Tad Eggleston: But you know that Tom was lovingly writing it, with John's voice in his head.

617
00:54:37.479 --> 00:54:37.719
Tyler Johnson: Oh.

618
00:54:38.315 --> 00:54:41.294
Tad Eggleston: So I I hope that

619
00:54:44.560 --> 00:54:46.710
Tad Eggleston: I hope that John enjoys that.

620
00:54:47.210 --> 00:54:48.230
Tyler Johnson: I'm sure he will.

621
00:54:48.440 --> 00:54:53.769
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, let's see what else came out this week, or will be coming out next week.

622
00:54:53.770 --> 00:54:55.380
Tad Eggleston: All sorts of interesting stuff.

623
00:54:55.380 --> 00:55:03.190
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. Well, I'm looking forward to teenage mutant Ninja turtles number 4 from Jason Aaron and Chris Burnham. That's out on Idw.

624
00:55:04.230 --> 00:55:09.587
Tyler Johnson: Batman, the Long Halloween, the last Halloween from Jeff Loeb and Mark Chiarello.

625
00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:12.409
Tyler Johnson: yeah, hopefully, we'll talk to Mark sometime in December.

626
00:55:12.730 --> 00:55:13.150
Tad Eggleston: Too.

627
00:55:13.150 --> 00:55:14.560
Tyler Johnson: 3 I can't remember. I think it's number.

628
00:55:14.560 --> 00:55:15.390
Tad Eggleston: Number 3.

629
00:55:15.390 --> 00:55:32.000
Tyler Johnson: I forgot to put the number on there and then. Hello, darkness number 5 from Garth, Ennis and James Tiny and the 4, th Robert Hack, and various others and artists, Becky Cloonan, Werther, Deladera, Robert Hack, and various other artists. It's just been.

630
00:55:32.000 --> 00:55:32.740
Tad Eggleston: Fantastic.

631
00:55:32.740 --> 00:55:36.620
Tyler Johnson: It's been really cool. I I like it to me. It's just as

632
00:55:37.410 --> 00:55:43.429
Tyler Johnson: cool as the one from Ec. I'm trying to think what it's called but yeah, it's just as neat.

633
00:55:44.310 --> 00:55:45.949
Tad Eggleston: Epitaphs from the abyss.

634
00:55:45.950 --> 00:55:47.220
Tyler Johnson: Thank you. Yep, that's.

635
00:55:47.220 --> 00:55:55.950
Tad Eggleston: I think the biggest difference is that Hello, darkness has, I think, like 2 ongoing stories.

636
00:55:56.420 --> 00:56:00.859
Tad Eggleston: Whereas Ec. Is strictly self contained.

637
00:56:01.410 --> 00:56:02.780
Tad Eggleston: So far.

638
00:56:04.210 --> 00:56:11.590
Tad Eggleston: and I like both. I mean, that's that's like the difference between old Ec. And and heavy metal or

639
00:56:11.660 --> 00:56:15.620
Tad Eggleston: 2,000 ad to, you know, both of them contain more

640
00:56:17.440 --> 00:56:22.539
Tad Eggleston: chapters of ongoing stuff and less self-contained. Yeah.

641
00:56:22.570 --> 00:56:29.120
Tad Eggleston: But one of the things that I really enjoy about the Ec. Is they're all self-contained.

642
00:56:29.580 --> 00:56:31.139
Tyler Johnson: I do, too. You can just.

643
00:56:31.140 --> 00:56:31.480
Tad Eggleston: Like a.

644
00:56:31.480 --> 00:56:32.849
Tyler Johnson: Any issue and just enjoy.

645
00:56:33.700 --> 00:56:34.530
Tad Eggleston: Right.

646
00:56:34.530 --> 00:56:39.050
Tyler Johnson: Alright guys. Thanks for listening. We will be back

652
00:57:11.260 --> 00:57:18.050
Tad Eggleston: versaggio, and I can't remember the artist right now. It's too early.
