00:00:03.170 --> 00:00:20.120
Tyler Johnson: Hey, everybody, welcome back to 22 panels. This is the podcast that aims to examine, explore, and elevate the medium of comics. I am Tyler, and I'm finally better. I don't have a sore throat, or a cough, or a stuffy nose, and across the interwebs

2
00:00:20.660 --> 00:00:24.249
Tyler Johnson: from me is Tad. Hey, Tad? How's it going.

3
00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:27.450
Tad Eggleston: I am doing pretty good.

4
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:29.580
Tad Eggleston: Good, doing pretty good. Can't complain.

5
00:00:29.680 --> 00:00:36.800
Tad Eggleston: I went up to to Milwaukee and and Lion's Tooth today, you know, one of my favorite little comic shops

6
00:00:37.690 --> 00:00:43.430
Tad Eggleston: had some other places that didn't have. Well, actually, I was at a used bookstore that had a lot of cool

7
00:00:43.730 --> 00:00:46.350
Tad Eggleston: trade, paperback type stuff and hardcover.

8
00:00:46.350 --> 00:00:47.000
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

9
00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:49.830
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. I was.

10
00:00:49.830 --> 00:00:55.801
Tyler Johnson: I last weekend I was in Morris, Minnesota, at this

11
00:00:56.610 --> 00:01:03.099
Tyler Johnson: Well, you know Mom and Pop Comic store, and I happened to find a copy of the 1st appearance of Jubilee.

12
00:01:03.360 --> 00:01:04.510
Tad Eggleston: Nice.

13
00:01:05.050 --> 00:01:08.930
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, not worth terribly much, but it's still kind of

14
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:12.280
Tyler Johnson: it's kind of a rare one. So that was kind of fun.

15
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:17.899
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah, you you know me. I I still don't understand why 1st appearances are big deals.

16
00:01:18.190 --> 00:01:18.900
Tad Eggleston: So.

17
00:01:18.900 --> 00:01:19.489
Tyler Johnson: I love it.

18
00:01:19.490 --> 00:01:23.639
Tad Eggleston: They're like they're dumb for the 1st appearance

19
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.649
Tad Eggleston: they are bad like they're not even good stories.

20
00:01:26.650 --> 00:01:29.510
Tyler Johnson: Wolverine kind of sucks. No offense. Yeah.

21
00:01:29.770 --> 00:01:32.630
Tyler Johnson: Oh, you're right, you're right. It was a bad

22
00:01:32.930 --> 00:01:37.971
Tyler Johnson: encounter with Hulk. They never anticipated the character to go anywhere.

23
00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:40.090
Tad Eggleston: And then.

24
00:01:40.090 --> 00:01:41.070
Tyler Johnson: Lyn Ween was like.

25
00:01:41.070 --> 00:01:43.820
Tad Eggleston: What Len Wein and and I forget who else.

26
00:01:44.980 --> 00:01:51.620
Tad Eggleston: You know, they do great work. But that was not one of their stellar issues, and and

27
00:01:51.960 --> 00:01:55.729
Tad Eggleston: certainly wasn't like Wolverine that we know and love. Yet.

28
00:01:56.590 --> 00:02:03.140
Tyler Johnson: No, no, not even in look and style. Right? And so oh, well.

29
00:02:04.497 --> 00:02:06.529
Tyler Johnson: So I mean again.

30
00:02:06.530 --> 00:02:10.490
Tad Eggleston: Like the 1st appearance of spider-man. That's a brilliant comic.

31
00:02:11.190 --> 00:02:12.590
Tyler Johnson: It was good.

32
00:02:12.590 --> 00:02:14.779
Tad Eggleston: Best spider-man comics ever written.

33
00:02:15.310 --> 00:02:16.849
Tad Eggleston: Yep, agreed.

34
00:02:16.850 --> 00:02:22.940
Tad Eggleston: I mean it legitimately is good. But then there's a crap ton of great spider-man comics.

35
00:02:23.660 --> 00:02:28.349
Tad Eggleston: That you can get like a hundred of them for the price of the 1st appearance of the black costume.

36
00:02:30.140 --> 00:02:31.029
Tyler Johnson: That's true.

37
00:02:33.910 --> 00:02:38.649
Tad Eggleston: And I would way rather that you read a hundred good spider-man comics.

38
00:02:40.070 --> 00:02:41.180
Tyler Johnson: In the black costume. What.

39
00:02:41.650 --> 00:02:49.799
Tad Eggleston: That that I mean, you know, I mean depending on which one you consider the 1st appearance of the black costume. They're both pretty good, too, but, like.

40
00:02:51.507 --> 00:02:56.320
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, you know. In my opinion, the black costume 1st appeared

41
00:02:56.550 --> 00:03:04.260
Tyler Johnson: in the Marvel team. Was it a marvel team? Ops thing where they were in space.

42
00:03:04.260 --> 00:03:07.139
Tad Eggleston: It was created in secret wars, but.

43
00:03:07.140 --> 00:03:08.870
Tyler Johnson: Secret wars. That's what it was. Secret wars. Yeah.

44
00:03:08.870 --> 00:03:19.959
Tad Eggleston: Think it actually appeared in either web of spider-man or amazing spider-man before that issue of secret wars. So it had one of those wonder where the costume cut

45
00:03:20.740 --> 00:03:24.240
Tad Eggleston: comes from. Don't miss issue 8 of.

46
00:03:26.290 --> 00:03:30.200
Tyler Johnson: Okay. So okay, I didn't. I just realized I didn't realize that. Okay.

47
00:03:30.200 --> 00:03:31.050
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

48
00:03:31.540 --> 00:03:34.739
Tyler Johnson: Web of spider-man number one is probably where it was. There.

49
00:03:34.740 --> 00:03:38.009
Tad Eggleston: That's a great. I have that issue. That's a great issue.

50
00:03:38.210 --> 00:03:42.709
Tad Eggleston: I don't think mine's worth a lot, because I've had that issue since, like it came out.

51
00:03:43.390 --> 00:03:47.919
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, that's probably the first, st

52
00:03:48.590 --> 00:03:54.699
Tyler Johnson: and if it's bagged and boarded at all, it wasn't until like 10 or 15 years after it came out.

53
00:03:55.380 --> 00:03:57.629
Tyler Johnson: and it was just in a pile in your house.

54
00:03:57.630 --> 00:04:02.369
Tad Eggleston: Right, or or in a cardboard box piled with comics.

55
00:04:02.820 --> 00:04:03.170
Tyler Johnson: Was it.

56
00:04:03.170 --> 00:04:04.500
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah.

57
00:04:04.770 --> 00:04:09.035
Tyler Johnson: I get it. I had tons of those mine were X-men and batman, but

58
00:04:09.340 --> 00:04:11.680
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, so.

59
00:04:12.150 --> 00:04:13.030
Tyler Johnson: Of.

60
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:14.910
Tad Eggleston: Let's do some news on this.

61
00:04:14.910 --> 00:04:15.320
Tyler Johnson: Space.

62
00:04:15.320 --> 00:04:22.250
Tad Eggleston: Podcast. I mean, even beats. 50. Best is from one of our baseball buddies. Heidi, Mcdonald.

63
00:04:22.250 --> 00:04:27.879
Tyler Johnson: Yes, so the beat recently put out an article. It's a good list.

64
00:04:27.880 --> 00:04:28.730
Tad Eggleston: It's a good.

65
00:04:28.730 --> 00:04:29.720
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

66
00:04:30.060 --> 00:04:37.630
Tad Eggleston: I think I've read about 2 thirds of them, and I kind of want to try to read the rest by the end of the year. I don't think I will.

67
00:04:37.730 --> 00:04:42.699
Tad Eggleston: but it's like, that looks good, and that looks good, and I got my own list to make, and

68
00:04:43.170 --> 00:04:47.980
Tad Eggleston: every year. I want to manage to read more books before I make my list than I do.

69
00:04:47.980 --> 00:04:50.210
Tyler Johnson: Same, and one of the books

70
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.509
Tyler Johnson: well, one of the books that I love that's on here is absolute batman

71
00:04:54.906 --> 00:05:04.969
Tyler Johnson: and then one of the ones that I want to read is the Rape I mean. This is alphabetical, like you said, but is attaboy. I have not read Attaboy from Mad Cave.

72
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:07.430
Tyler Johnson: Oh, I thought that one looked great.

73
00:05:07.430 --> 00:05:15.839
Tad Eggleston: I liked that one. I read that Eve Ewan's Black Panther run was great. I need to read blurry. I love Dash Shaw

74
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:23.570
Tad Eggleston: actually at a comic shop today and decided, no, I'm not buying for me, boy. Wonder was really good.

75
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:25.280
Tyler Johnson: I loved you.

76
00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:28.772
Tad Eggleston: Go down this list, and the ones I've read

77
00:05:30.640 --> 00:05:38.339
Tad Eggleston: are are great. The ones I haven't read are on my radar. Even the cobra commander that it bothers me that it's on my radar.

78
00:05:38.740 --> 00:05:40.596
Tyler Johnson: The Gi. Joe Book.

79
00:05:41.060 --> 00:05:45.999
Tad Eggleston: That's funny. Not just a Gi. Joe book, a Gi. Joe villain book.

80
00:05:46.350 --> 00:05:49.406
Tyler Johnson: Oh, Cobra, commanding, yeah.

81
00:05:50.170 --> 00:05:51.869
Tad Eggleston: Like that's like that's like

82
00:05:52.540 --> 00:05:57.650
Tad Eggleston: double, like, not the type of stuff I want to do most of the time.

83
00:06:00.340 --> 00:06:01.220
Tyler Johnson: Have you read Diana.

84
00:06:01.220 --> 00:06:03.100
Tad Eggleston: Kafka Land was great.

85
00:06:04.988 --> 00:06:07.439
Tad Eggleston: I need to read final cut.

86
00:06:07.930 --> 00:06:08.750
Tyler Johnson: -

87
00:06:08.750 --> 00:06:10.900
Tad Eggleston: This is the one I feel like.

88
00:06:11.020 --> 00:06:17.290
Tad Eggleston: I managed to miss it. Fool! The absolute fool, or the fool, the absolute madwoman.

89
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:29.989
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, from Vivian Nguyen or Vivian Wen short box comic fair, and I somehow missed it because I feel like feel like that cover alone would have made me

90
00:06:30.590 --> 00:06:36.820
Tad Eggleston: buy it from the short box. Comics fair. If if I though I also feel like I was kind of broke

91
00:06:37.390 --> 00:06:48.420
Tad Eggleston: during October and didn't buy as many things from the short, short box. Comics fair for everybody who doesn't know, and we should make a bigger deal out of it every year is every October

92
00:06:49.400 --> 00:06:53.750
Tad Eggleston: short box which used to do print comics and whatnot, but kind of

93
00:06:54.850 --> 00:07:15.080
Tad Eggleston: became hard. They weren't making enough money to be able to continue doing that. So when they shut that down. What they shifted to is for the month of October. Every year they have a digital online fair, where they curate a set of books to sell exclusively, digitally during that month.

94
00:07:15.580 --> 00:07:23.690
Tad Eggleston: Creators retain all the light rights so they can sell them later or whatnot, though I least right now it doesn't look like Vivian is selling this yet.

95
00:07:23.980 --> 00:07:24.620
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

96
00:07:25.740 --> 00:07:27.270
Tad Eggleston: Because I went looking for it.

97
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:36.100
Tad Eggleston: But yeah. So every October there's just a selection of, you know, a really good curated selection of

98
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:40.809
Tad Eggleston: like Indie Indie,

99
00:07:43.390 --> 00:07:51.830
Tad Eggleston: digital comics available for sale at the short box comics fair. We need to remember to make a bigger deal out of that every year.

100
00:07:52.390 --> 00:07:55.170
Tad Eggleston: But yeah, this is a really good list.

101
00:07:55.470 --> 00:07:58.380

00:11:25.330 --> 00:11:34.379
Tad Eggleston: We've followed forever and correspond with from time to time, and could pop up on this show. Someday he's been invited a couple of times. He just hasn't been able to.

150
00:11:35.930 --> 00:11:44.750
Tad Eggleston: doesn't normally write on weekends. But but he took a moment to to write about Ricky, including excerpting something from

151
00:11:45.180 --> 00:11:56.380
Tad Eggleston: Mike Piazza's memoir from 2,013 that that he excerpts every year for people who don't understand

152
00:11:56.830 --> 00:12:09.360
Tad Eggleston: or don't know about baseball money, related things they don't actually get paid for the playoffs. What they get is they get

153
00:12:09.770 --> 00:12:11.740
Tad Eggleston: playoff shares

154
00:12:12.424 --> 00:12:25.439
Tad Eggleston: which a certain amount of the the gate from each of the required playoff games. So if it's a best of 3 series, it's the 1st 2 games. If it's a best of

155
00:12:25.570 --> 00:12:34.259
Tad Eggleston: 5 series. It's the 1st 3 games. If it's a best of 7 series, it's the 1st 4 games, that sort of thing. Certain percentage of the the

156
00:12:36.630 --> 00:12:50.730
Tad Eggleston: the box office from all of those games will be put into a pool. That's then split between the playoff teams with the world champions getting the most, but every team getting something, and then the teams themselves

157
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:53.080
Tad Eggleston: decide how to split the money out.

158
00:12:53.310 --> 00:13:01.009
Tad Eggleston: You know where where the players are actually on the playoff rosters pretty much automatically get a full share.

159
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:06.529
Tad Eggleston: But the people that the players get to

160
00:13:06.880 --> 00:13:17.820
Tad Eggleston: propose and vote on giving either full shares, partial shares or cash disbursements to

161
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:28.400
Tad Eggleston: other players that played for the team that year. Clubhouse attendance, travel secretaries, anybody involved with the team right.

162
00:13:28.400 --> 00:13:28.890
Tyler Johnson: Right.

163
00:13:28.890 --> 00:13:29.760
Tad Eggleston: Yep.

164
00:13:30.850 --> 00:13:37.379
Tad Eggleston: I mean, I want to say, the 2,016 cubs actually gave out 140 full shares.

165
00:13:37.860 --> 00:13:38.490
Tyler Johnson: Wow!

166
00:13:38.490 --> 00:13:40.470
Tad Eggleston: Something like that right?

167
00:13:40.630 --> 00:13:41.010
Tyler Johnson: It's crazy.

168
00:13:41.010 --> 00:14:00.300
Tad Eggleston: So with that in mind, Mike wrote, Ricky was the most generous guy I ever played with, and whenever the discussion came around to what we should give one of the fringe people whether it was a minor leaguer who came up for a few days, or the parking lot attendant, Ricky would shout out full share.

169
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:06.499
Tad Eggleston: We'd argue for a while, and he'd say, Fuck, that you can change somebody's life.

170
00:14:09.780 --> 00:14:11.430
Tyler Johnson: That's true. You could.

171
00:14:13.640 --> 00:14:21.510
Tad Eggleston: I mean, because particularly like a world championship team, even if they wind up split. I mean the Cubs split it a hundred 40 different ways, and like

172
00:14:21.710 --> 00:14:25.089
Tad Eggleston: a full share, was still like $800,000.

173
00:14:28.138 --> 00:14:30.570
Tad Eggleston: You know? Yeah, yeah.

174
00:14:30.570 --> 00:14:30.900
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

175
00:14:30.900 --> 00:14:35.309
Tad Eggleston: Have made it a million plus for each person, and not given it to as many. But.

176
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:41.760
Tyler Johnson: About 800. Well, depth.

177
00:14:41.760 --> 00:14:45.750
Tad Eggleston: 800,000 is is life changing money to a guy

178
00:14:45.930 --> 00:14:57.069
Tad Eggleston: who's a lifetime minor Leaguer and never really plays in the Big Leagues. 800,000. Is really life changing money to like the clubhouse attendant, or the parking lot attendant, or

179
00:14:58.630 --> 00:15:06.049
Tad Eggleston: any number of people that are around them, and make their lives easier all day or all season long.

180
00:15:07.405 --> 00:15:07.609
Tyler Johnson: Bye.

181
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.499
Tad Eggleston: So I always have loved that story about Ricky.

182
00:15:13.830 --> 00:15:21.700
Tad Eggleston: He was larger than life, which which obviously always rubs some people the wrong way

183
00:15:22.661 --> 00:15:27.300
Tad Eggleston: particularly black men, when they like, have confidence.

184
00:15:27.450 --> 00:15:34.200
Tad Eggleston: and think highly of themselves, and can deliver on that confidence, and how highly they think of themselves.

185
00:15:34.740 --> 00:15:35.140
Tyler Johnson: Right.

186
00:15:36.180 --> 00:15:38.439
Tad Eggleston: It often doesn't go over. Well.

187
00:15:41.380 --> 00:15:44.340
Tad Eggleston: But Ricky came from like nothing.

188
00:15:45.210 --> 00:15:48.459
Tad Eggleston: and it's pretty clear that he never lost track of that.

189
00:15:48.800 --> 00:15:51.069
Tad Eggleston: And Ricky loved to play baseball

190
00:15:51.340 --> 00:15:54.800
Tad Eggleston: long after he needed to play baseball.

191
00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:57.300
Tad Eggleston: you know. He made a lot of money in his life.

192
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:08.999
Tad Eggleston: but he wanted to play until he was like 45 in his last 2 seasons, you know, when he couldn't get major League jobs at the beginning of the season he went and played an independent minor League ball

193
00:16:10.220 --> 00:16:15.770
Tad Eggleston: until he played long enough that they went. Oh, he can still play, and we could really use him off the bench.

194
00:16:16.280 --> 00:16:23.489
Tad Eggleston: They signed Midseason 2 years in a row after playing for the New York bears to start those seasons.

195
00:16:24.690 --> 00:16:25.976
Tad Eggleston: you know.

196
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:36.649
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, he was larger than life. Yeah, I'm certain that that he wasn't always easy to be around, but he was. He also always seemed to have fun.

197
00:16:36.890 --> 00:16:45.649
Tad Eggleston: and he's 1 of the greatest ballplayers that I've ever gotten the privilege to actually watch play in person.

198
00:16:46.370 --> 00:16:46.690
Tad Eggleston: right?

199
00:16:46.700 --> 00:16:51.940
Tad Eggleston: And I didn't even get to see him at his prime in his early years.

200
00:16:52.550 --> 00:16:59.079
Tad Eggleston: I mean, 1st of all, you know. Not only could he hit and hit for power, you know he'd take a walk.

201
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:05.719
Tad Eggleston: He led the League in walks half the time, except that you walked Ricky, and half the time that meant it was a triple.

202
00:17:07.140 --> 00:17:10.490
Tad Eggleston: Because you'd walk him. He'd steal second, he'd steal 3, rd

203
00:17:11.630 --> 00:17:14.999
Tad Eggleston: you know, in his 1st full season he

204
00:17:15.420 --> 00:17:24.000
Tad Eggleston: broke the American League record for stolen bases that had been set by Ty Cobb in like 1911.

205
00:17:24.520 --> 00:17:31.060
Tad Eggleston: It was his second or 3rd full season that he broke the the

206
00:17:31.930 --> 00:17:40.410
Tad Eggleston: major League record for stolen bases. Lou Brock's 119, a record that had stood for like 37 years. Right?

207
00:17:41.060 --> 00:17:41.830
Tyler Johnson: I don't know.

208
00:17:43.380 --> 00:17:54.000
Tad Eggleston: And it was his 11th season. In his 11th season he passed Lou Brock's 900, some odd stolen bases to become the all-time leading

209
00:17:54.450 --> 00:17:59.089
Tad Eggleston: stolen base get-getter. He! He get 500 more

210
00:17:59.890 --> 00:18:08.570
Tad Eggleston: in his career. He's got 1,400 plus stolen bases, and Lou Brock is still in second, and Ty Cobb is still in 3.rd

211
00:18:09.580 --> 00:18:10.340
Tyler Johnson: Wow!

212
00:18:10.630 --> 00:18:31.482
Tad Eggleston: You know. Yeah, base stealing goes in and out of of fashion, and that's part of it. But just like nobody did it better than Ricky, and and also to be able to to steal that many bases you got to get on base all the time, and he got on. I mean. I put up on Mark Chiarello's

213
00:18:32.860 --> 00:18:38.860
Tad Eggleston: Mark Chiarello put his his picture of Ricky from his 100 ballplayers

214
00:18:39.040 --> 00:18:44.589
Tad Eggleston: book that he did during the pandemic on Kickstarter. Yeah, up on his Instagram.

215
00:18:45.060 --> 00:18:52.389
Tad Eggleston: and I responded to it with my favorite Ricky slash line, which is actually from his last season.

216
00:18:52.870 --> 00:18:57.359
Tad Eggleston: and and he batted like 2, 50 something.

217
00:18:58.610 --> 00:19:11.020
Tad Eggleston: but with a 3 80 on base percentage and 30 stolen bases. So it's like, yeah. And you know, people were thinking, Oh, he's washed up because he's like a 2 50 hitter, you know.

218
00:19:11.020 --> 00:19:12.200
Tyler Johnson: Right, I think the year before.

219
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:17.230
Tad Eggleston: He'd been like a 2 19 hitter, but he was still getting on base almost 40% of the time.

220
00:19:18.580 --> 00:19:23.479
Tad Eggleston: and once he was on base he was, he was as as likely to score as not.

221
00:19:24.120 --> 00:19:27.719
Tyler Johnson: Right, you know. I forget what the number is, but like.

222
00:19:29.490 --> 00:19:41.979
Tad Eggleston: I want to say right after he retired, or right before he went into the Hall of Fame. Something like that somebody did a study of like numbers of time on base versus numbers of times they scored, and like.

223
00:19:41.980 --> 00:19:42.310
Tyler Johnson: Thank you.

224
00:19:42.310 --> 00:19:49.370
Tad Eggleston: Percentage of scoring is like 10 or 15 percentage points ahead of

225
00:19:49.470 --> 00:19:52.739
Tad Eggleston: anybody else, with more than 5,000 plate appearances.

226
00:19:53.790 --> 00:19:54.500
Tyler Johnson: Wow!

227
00:19:55.190 --> 00:19:59.110
Tad Eggleston: You know, but that again it's cause he

228
00:20:00.140 --> 00:20:06.129
Tad Eggleston: 1st of all, he could hit with power, too. He had 300 plus lead off home runs.

229
00:20:06.660 --> 00:20:07.130
Tyler Johnson: Right.

230
00:20:08.447 --> 00:20:11.621
Tad Eggleston: He can hit doubles and triples

231
00:20:12.320 --> 00:20:14.399
Tad Eggleston: But if you walked him

232
00:20:14.970 --> 00:20:20.770
Tad Eggleston: there was a better than average chance that he was going to be on 3rd before you knew it. So like

233
00:20:21.430 --> 00:20:28.599
Tad Eggleston: walk, Ricky, watch him steal second, watch him steal 3, rd watch him score on a ground out.

234
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:34.260
Tad Eggleston: True? Yep, you know, I mean, that was like a regular occurrence.

235
00:20:34.834 --> 00:20:44.319
Tad Eggleston: So when you're on base 40% of the time, and you do that, I mean.

236
00:20:44.650 --> 00:20:50.460
Tad Eggleston: it's he was just a super valuable baseball player and super fun to watch and.

237
00:20:51.510 --> 00:20:53.800
Tad Eggleston: Is gone way too soon.

238
00:20:54.670 --> 00:20:56.830
Tyler Johnson: Right. You said 66.

239
00:20:57.260 --> 00:20:59.790
Tad Eggleston: He would have been 66 on Christmas Day.

240
00:21:00.420 --> 00:21:05.020
Tyler Johnson: Okay, wow, yeah, that is not. That is not old.

241
00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:06.010
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

242
00:21:06.010 --> 00:21:06.470
Tyler Johnson: Oh!

243
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:16.115
Tad Eggleston: So like in this year we've lost not only 2 of

244
00:21:19.370 --> 00:21:21.730
Tad Eggleston: the greatest outfielders of all time.

245
00:21:22.751 --> 00:21:29.520
Tad Eggleston: and Ricky and Willie Mays, but both, you know. Bay Area legends.

246
00:21:30.150 --> 00:21:32.070
Tad Eggleston: So yeah.

247
00:21:36.580 --> 00:21:57.069
Tad Eggleston: not a not not not an easy easy year for baseball fans, though obviously, you know. Go go back and listen to our baseball roundtable mets. Fans are riding high right now. And yes, Heidi, I forget if this is since last week or not. Heidi's Heidi's wish for the season. From from our

248
00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:00.950
Tad Eggleston: baseball roundtable has come true. Juan Soto is a met.

249
00:22:05.080 --> 00:22:05.790
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

250
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:06.860
Tad Eggleston: So.

251
00:22:08.280 --> 00:22:09.359
Tyler Johnson: Oh, good morning!

252
00:22:09.360 --> 00:22:11.569
Tad Eggleston: Go back to being a comics. Podcast now.

253
00:22:12.370 --> 00:22:20.620
Tyler Johnson: Alright sounds good. This is where we are. Gonna talk about our new to order this month. Right about here is where I'll have a drop.

254
00:22:20.620 --> 00:22:24.360
Tad Eggleston: My? Is my screen still shared.

255
00:22:25.330 --> 00:22:25.920
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

256
00:22:26.210 --> 00:22:27.110
Tad Eggleston: Okay.

257
00:22:27.300 --> 00:22:35.670
Tad Eggleston: see? See? The thing that says that it's shared isn't visible to me right now. So there we go. So I was having trouble telling.

258
00:22:36.340 --> 00:22:38.520
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, yeah, I can see what you can.

259
00:22:38.520 --> 00:22:40.169
Tad Eggleston: Up on the screen. Stupid!

260
00:22:42.860 --> 00:22:45.899
Tad Eggleston: My stupid toolbar won't go away.

261
00:22:46.270 --> 00:22:47.280
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

262
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:49.230
Tad Eggleston: So.

263
00:22:49.230 --> 00:22:49.700
Tyler Johnson: Wow!

264
00:22:49.700 --> 00:22:50.800
Tad Eggleston: Alrighty!

265
00:22:50.980 --> 00:22:51.750
Tad Eggleston: Here you go!

266
00:22:51.750 --> 00:22:52.370
Tyler Johnson: House.

267
00:22:52.570 --> 00:22:54.600
Tyler Johnson: Can you scroll? There we go.

268
00:22:55.040 --> 00:23:07.279
Tyler Johnson: We're talking about the amazing spider-man being rebooted again. It just did like 2 years ago. What is marvel thinking, anyway, this time is going to be home by Joe Kelly, with Art. By John Ramita, Jr.

269
00:23:07.900 --> 00:23:09.883
Tad Eggleston: Kelly's on the book already.

270
00:23:10.410 --> 00:23:16.580
Tad Eggleston: looks like it's looked like they're doing like the 8 deaths of Peter Parker. I haven't been reading it, but I looked at it when I

271
00:23:16.910 --> 00:23:19.680
Tad Eggleston: I saw this so stuff to look.

272
00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:26.999
Tyler Johnson: I have a huge pile that I have yet to catch up on, so I'm not sure who's on it, or who's not.

273
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:29.770
Tad Eggleston: No, I know Joe Kelly took over a little bit ago.

274
00:23:29.770 --> 00:23:34.909
Tyler Johnson: Okay. So now they're gonna re relaunch after the 8 deaths I have. I've yet to see.

275
00:23:34.910 --> 00:23:35.430
Tad Eggleston: Like that.

276
00:23:35.430 --> 00:23:37.900
Tyler Johnson: And okay. In fact, there's there.

277
00:23:37.900 --> 00:23:43.710
Tad Eggleston: There's like a spider-man issue. I think there are 5 spider-man issues in this previous catalog.

278
00:23:44.150 --> 00:23:49.920
Tad Eggleston: There's 1 for each week in May or in March, and then the April 9.th Amazing spider-man number one.

279
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:51.320
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

280
00:23:51.580 --> 00:23:51.930
Tad Eggleston: Yes.

281
00:23:51.930 --> 00:24:08.890
Tyler Johnson: Interesting anyway, alive and thwipping. The next area era of amazing spider-man has arrived. Peter is shockingly without a job and looking for gainful employment but his job search is interrupted by a rampaging rhino. Who is but the tip of a sinister iceberg?

282
00:24:08.890 --> 00:24:25.900
Tyler Johnson: What what? Major spider-man villain is working behind the scenes, weaponizing other spider villains, including one we haven't seen in over 7 years. Also, what is goblin? Free Norman Osbourne up to, anyway? This is going to be in shops. April 9.th

283
00:24:27.150 --> 00:24:29.400
Tyler Johnson: Looks interesting. I can't wait.

284
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:29.810
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

285
00:24:29.810 --> 00:24:30.490
Tyler Johnson: I I can't wait.

286
00:24:30.490 --> 00:24:36.840
Tad Eggleston: Joe Kelly does Spider-man Assorted crisis Events

287
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:43.960
Tad Eggleston: from Dennis Camp and Eric Azawadski Zawadsky something like that.

288
00:24:44.962 --> 00:24:47.609
Tad Eggleston: From image comics

289

293
00:25:20.220 --> 00:25:46.630
Tad Eggleston: on their way to work. Bleary-eyed commuters get trapped in time, loops assaulted by alternate reality, versions of themselves and try to avoid post-apocalyptic wastelands and look the 3 15 bus just took a wrong turn into the Neolithic era. Rising stars. Dennis Camp and Eric Zawadsky and Eisner winners, Jordi Belair and Hassan Otsmain, El how

294
00:25:47.390 --> 00:26:07.289
Tad Eggleston: are proud to present assorted crisis events, an ongoing, zigzagging anthology series about the compromise clicks of our clocks, full of one-shot stories, beautifully beautiful and ugly tragic and redemptive, surreal, and somehow all too familiar

00:26:15.820 --> 00:26:18.810
Tad Eggleston: That they're calling him a rising star cause like.

300
00:26:18.810 --> 00:26:20.580

Tad Eggleston: Yeah, he's he's doing. He's doing the ultimates he's doing

302
00:26:25.700 --> 00:26:35.980
Tad Eggleston: Martian manhunter and something else at DC. Dennis Camp has been like taking over the world. He was a rising star last year when we talked to him.

303
00:26:36.510 --> 00:26:39.820
Tyler Johnson: I agree. I was just thinking that myself. I'm like Rising Star.

304
00:26:39.820 --> 00:26:44.000

Tad Eggleston: a lie built a house of oppression.

309
00:27:08.180 --> 00:27:32.760
Tad Eggleston: The bitter truth will burn it down. It is 1964, the height of the Civil rights movement. A group of activists have gone missing, and a new generation of the Sangery family must face a menace far worse than anything their ancestors ever encountered. The monstrous genu creatures, born out of hate and racism, have evolved into a threat that few people are willing to acknowledge, and even fewer

310
00:27:32.760 --> 00:27:40.850
Tad Eggleston: know, how to fight. A bold new chapter in the epic saga of the multiple. Eisner award-winning series begins here

Tyler Johnson: Oh, yeah.

319
00:28:08.840 --> 00:28:11.860

Tad Eggleston: this might be somebody else that we're talking about more later, John Allison and Max Sarin, a new, cozy mystery from giant days, John Allison and Max Heron following up on their hit baking murder, mystery the great British bump off! Surely there is no vacation more drama free than a boating holiday along the sleepy canals of Yorkshire. Oh, you'd think so

335
00:29:51.940 --> 00:30:03.369
Tad Eggleston: sadly for Shauna Wickel. It's tough to escape poisonous small-town rivalries and sultry romantic entanglements when traveling at a steady 2 to 3 miles per hour.

336
00:30:03.510 --> 00:30:11.300

Meanwhile, in London, Wendy also yearns for childhood and its freedom from responsibility as she rails against the transition to adulthood and her family's expectations.

352
00:31:08.970 --> 00:31:20.750
Tyler Johnson: as their desires create a mirror of fantasy and reality. A disastrous encounter with the aging Captain Hook becomes the catalyst for Peter's realization that Neverland is growing up without him.

353
00:31:20.980 --> 00:31:35.179
Tyler Johnson: But will the 2 of them find each other once again to carry on their age old adventures? Or is this truly the final threshold of their adolescence in this modern take on a classic tale from legendary writer, Dan Panozian

Tad Eggleston: from Francis de Shamus at pow pow, in order to wage intergalactic warfare. Aliens abduct all of Earth's artists. It turns out that the most powerful weapon in the universe is the violent beauty of art. Back on Earth people don't seem to care about the disappearance of the planet's artistic types until they discover that you can't have nice consumer goods without creativity.

365
00:32:44.670 --> 00:32:57.690
Tad Eggleston: while the abducted artists mastered the deadly potential of their craft. Those left behind are learning the hard way that art isn't as useless as it seems, while listening to old Ccr hits on, repeat

399
00:37:40.930 --> 00:37:42.580
Tad Eggleston: Last, October.

400
00:37:42.610 --> 00:37:43.140

403
00:37:47.130 --> 00:37:47.940
Tad Eggleston: 3.

404
00:37:48.170 --> 00:37:55.609
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, it's being made up. And so there's so much pressure riding on this episode not to be lost in the digital world. Yeah.

405
00:37:56.040 --> 00:37:57.140
Tyler Johnson: Ugh!

406
00:37:57.760 --> 00:37:58.160
Tyler Johnson: Well.

407
00:37:58.160 --> 00:38:22.409
Tad Eggleston: Frustration. Yeah. Tongues. Volume one from Anders Nielsen at Pantheon, set in a version of modern Central Asia tongues, is a retelling of the Greek myth of Prometheus, it follows the captive God's friendship with the eagle, who carries out his daily sentence of torture, and chronicles his pursuit of revenge on the god that has imprisoned him.

408
00:38:22.470 --> 00:38:40.079
Tad Eggleston: Prometheus's story is intertwined with that of an East African orphan on an errand of murder, and a young man with a Teddy Bear strapped to his back, wandering aimlessly into catastrophe. A character readers may recognize from Nilsen's dogs and water.

409
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:55.309
Tad Eggleston: The story is set against the backdrop of tensions between rival groups in an oil-rich. Wilderness tongues is both an adventure story and a meditation on human nature. In our present fraught historical moment.

Her brother is on the other side of the country in rehab, and every conversation with her mom becomes a fight, and her long-term boyfriend Bruno feels weirdly distant.

414
00:39:31.610 --> 00:39:38.500
Tyler Johnson: ess counting down the days until she can escape her Long Island hometown and join her bff at Nyu.

415
00:39:38.500 --> 00:40:03.479
Tyler Johnson: where she's sure she'll get into the acting program. She's dreamed about for years, but when Essie gets dumped and botches her college audition, her entire trajectory changes. Instead of doing community theater, she ends up slumming it in a school play, where she's cast opposite the unexpectedly charming Christopher's son, the younger brother of the drug dealer who got Essie's

416
00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:09.740

00:56:33.620 --> 00:56:39.590
Tyler Johnson: I know. I'm gonna start with epitaphs from the abyss. Number 6 God, this.

548
00:56:39.590 --> 00:56:52.270
Tad Eggleston: Oh, yeah, that's the other impressive thing. I went 9 cheated on the 9, and despite the fact that I read all 3 of the books that you have up and enjoyed them all. None of them made my list.

549
00:56:52.420 --> 00:57:09.240
Tyler Johnson: I had a hard time leaving off the ones that are on your list, too. Anyway, Matt Rosenberg and Tim Seeley Jay Holdham. He'll come up later. Tim Crook, Charlie Adler, and David laugh him. This is from Ec. Oni. This was just so good.

550
00:57:09.240 --> 00:57:10.770
Tad Eggleston: Crook, not Tim Crook.

551
00:57:11.380 --> 00:57:12.120
Tyler Johnson: Am I right, Tim?

552
00:57:12.120 --> 00:57:18.289
Tad Eggleston: Remember we were going to do our Tyler episode someday, but we still haven't talked to.

553
00:57:18.650 --> 00:57:21.440
Tad Eggleston: Which is the Tyler that we too.

554
00:57:21.970 --> 00:57:22.620
Tyler Johnson: It's even when.

555
00:57:22.620 --> 00:57:30.959
Tad Eggleston: Here's the Tyler that we've talked to Tyler Crook, and we've talked to Tyler, boss. There's a Tyler, Tyler Jenkins. We still need to talk to Tyler Jenkins, and then we need

556
00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:32.670
Tad Eggleston: Neil Tyler episode.

557
00:57:32.940 --> 00:57:45.375
Tyler Johnson: That would be fun. And then, anyway, Black Hammer, spiral city number 2 from Jeff Lemire and Teddy Christianson from Dark Horse. This, continues the adventures of Inspector Insector,

558
00:57:45.790 --> 00:57:46.670
Tad Eggleston: Yes.

559
00:57:46.670 --> 00:57:50.530
Tyler Johnson: It's so funny I'm really enjoying it. Yep.

560
00:57:50.980 --> 00:58:03.353
Tyler Johnson: And then absolute batman number 3 from Scott, Snyder and Nick Dragata from DC. all in. They're all in line, whatever that is, is. Been pretty good.

561
00:58:03.820 --> 00:58:12.050
Tad Eggleston: So I mean, none of those made my list other things that didn't make my list, but were amazing. Godzilla, monster Piece Theater.

562
00:58:12.470 --> 00:58:13.730
Tyler Johnson: God, that was good.

563
00:58:15.830 --> 00:58:17.900
Tad Eggleston: Batman and Robin year one.

564
00:58:20.080 --> 00:58:22.609
Tad Eggleston: The question all along the watchtower.

565
00:58:23.390 --> 00:58:25.379
Tad Eggleston: New gods number one.

566
00:58:28.150 --> 00:58:30.960
Tad Eggleston: Things that I didn't even manage to read

567
00:58:31.340 --> 00:58:39.650
Tad Eggleston: were things like power, fantasy, and paranoid gardens, tin can society vicarious

568
00:58:40.050 --> 00:58:47.290
Tad Eggleston: are all on like. Still my to read list, minstrel, groove, minstrel memories, and

569
00:58:47.610 --> 00:58:54.089
Tad Eggleston: despite the fact, this, this is this is week that that we're going 9 innings rather than 3 outs.

570
00:58:54.090 --> 00:58:54.630
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

571
00:58:54.630 --> 00:59:07.310
Tad Eggleston: On the 22 panels podcast to to explore, elevate, and explore, examine, and elevate the medium of baseball. That's, that's what we are. Right.

572
00:59:07.310 --> 00:59:09.960
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, it's like.

573
00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:18.520
Tad Eggleston: So string number 2 from Paul Tobin. I told you Paul Tobin was going to come up again, and and.

574
00:59:18.520 --> 00:59:19.110
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

575
00:59:19.110 --> 00:59:22.009
Tad Eggleston: Carlos Javier. Oliveras, are you reading this.

576
00:59:22.250 --> 00:59:25.149
Tyler Johnson: No, I'm not. I should definitely check it out, though.

577
00:59:25.150 --> 00:59:36.700
Tad Eggleston: This is the one where the girl can see the strings coming off from people. It's like a pink string. It connects people that had sex, and if it's a black string it connects.

578
00:59:37.060 --> 00:59:37.520
Tyler Johnson: Murder.

579
00:59:37.520 --> 00:59:37.980
Tad Eggleston: Bye.

580
00:59:37.980 --> 00:59:38.630
Tyler Johnson: Right.

581
00:59:39.220 --> 00:59:41.179
Tad Eggleston: Connect somebody to their murderer

582
00:59:41.340 --> 00:59:52.820
Tad Eggleston: or somebody to who they're going to murder. And this is the issue where maybe it was the end of the last issue, but but they wind up. They see a black string coming out of her.

583
00:59:54.230 --> 00:59:55.480
Tyler Johnson: Oh!

584
00:59:55.480 --> 01:00:00.769
Tad Eggleston: But when you see it like, you don't know if it means, is she going to get killed, or is she gonna kill somebody?

585
01:00:00.770 --> 01:00:03.101
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, which end is she on?

586
01:00:04.130 --> 01:00:05.359
Tyler Johnson: I get it.

587
01:00:05.360 --> 01:00:09.987
Tad Eggleston: So, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Fun stuff

588
01:00:10.990 --> 01:00:14.149
Tad Eggleston: And and you've got your your

589
01:00:14.440 --> 01:00:17.929
Tad Eggleston: global comic subscription. You can read it on global comics already.

590
01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:19.080
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

591
01:00:20.070 --> 01:00:20.800
Tyler Johnson: Ipad.

592
01:00:21.750 --> 01:00:36.208
Tad Eggleston: You canceled your comixology. So if you want to want to read this one, you'll have to pay for it. Groupies number 3 from Helen, Malaine, Tula, Lotte, and comixology. This is and 1st Tulay's art. It's just amazing.

593
01:00:36.570 --> 01:00:37.720
Tyler Johnson: Always, always, she.

594
01:00:37.720 --> 01:00:45.245
Tad Eggleston: Did Somna earlier this year. She did barnstormers with Scott Snyder last year. But

595
01:00:46.040 --> 01:00:53.729
Tad Eggleston: This is essentially like rock band groupies and black magic all thrown together.

596
01:00:55.010 --> 01:00:56.069
Tad Eggleston: Fun! Stuff!

597
01:00:56.760 --> 01:00:57.809
Tad Eggleston: Fun! Stuff

598
01:00:58.785 --> 01:01:09.340
Tad Eggleston: the the motorcycle jousting. We we didn't know we needed. Sir. Number 5. The the final issue came out from Fellhound and and absolutely delivered

599
01:01:09.934 --> 01:01:14.750
Tad Eggleston: knocking both Wonder Woman and Jenny Sparks. Wonder woman 16, and Jenny Sparks, number

600
01:01:14.910 --> 01:01:21.680
Tad Eggleston: 5 from Tom King out of that top 3. That's 1 of the reasons that we had to go beyond 3.

601
01:01:22.020 --> 01:01:24.259
Tyler Johnson: You had to include them.

602
01:01:24.420 --> 01:01:27.510
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I couldn't leave them out, because because Wonder Woman

603
01:01:27.690 --> 01:01:43.859
Tad Eggleston: Wonder Woman had had Detective Chimp channeling his inner Columbo. And or since nobody has ever seen Columbo and Detective Chimp in the same place at the same time. Is it possible that Detective Chimp

604
01:01:44.050 --> 01:01:46.779
Tad Eggleston: is Columbo in a costume.

605
01:01:47.660 --> 01:01:48.649
Tyler Johnson: It could be.

606
01:01:50.140 --> 01:01:54.569
Tad Eggleston: I suppose the reverse could also be true. Colombo could be Detective Chimp.

607
01:01:54.930 --> 01:01:56.239
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, it comes to.

608
01:01:57.110 --> 01:02:02.810
Tad Eggleston: Kind of like the Edgar suit in in men in black.

609
01:02:02.810 --> 01:02:07.270
Tyler Johnson: Men in black, yeah, maybe.

610
01:02:07.660 --> 01:02:08.569
Tad Eggleston: Just maybe

611
01:02:09.360 --> 01:02:12.689
Tad Eggleston: And Jenny Sparks, number 5. Oh.

612
01:02:12.810 --> 01:02:17.090
Tad Eggleston: I love Jenny Sparks. Tom King's just killing it.

613
01:02:18.900 --> 01:02:22.959
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I don't even know what to say other than it's amazing

614
01:02:23.380 --> 01:02:31.590
Tad Eggleston: milestone universe shadow Cabinet number 2 from Joe Illidge and Daryl Banks and Adegan Ilhan.

615
01:02:31.730 --> 01:02:32.690
Tad Eggleston: I mean

616
01:02:33.640 --> 01:02:58.099
Tad Eggleston: anybody who listens once a month to the the Milestone Book Club knows that we have a great appreciation of milestone at 22 panels. Joe Illidge has been around a few times on 22 panels. So you should also know that we have a great appreciation of Joe Illidge. And there's a reason for this, and we see it all in Shadow cabinet, more cheating on the list that I was already cheating on to make it 9 rather than

617
01:02:58.680 --> 01:03:18.169
Tad Eggleston: rather than 3. At Number 6 comes plastic man no more. Number 4, the final issue, and challengers of the unknown number one from Chris Cantwell and Alex. Linz for plastic man number 4, and from Chris and Sean Isaacs for challengers of the unknown plastic man. Number 4.

618
01:03:19.470 --> 01:03:20.230
Tyler Johnson: It was so good.

619
01:03:20.230 --> 01:03:20.640
Tad Eggleston: Say.

620
01:03:20.640 --> 01:03:22.200
Tyler Johnson: That was so hard to leave off my.

621
01:03:22.200 --> 01:03:34.669
Tad Eggleston: So good, though I'm going to reiterate. And this is why you're at 6 rather than 5 or 4. Chris. It is possible to tell a great story involving Detective Chimp

622
01:03:34.930 --> 01:03:41.389
Tad Eggleston: without without killing him, and I quote Bones.

623
01:03:41.390 --> 01:03:42.060
Tyler Johnson: Oh yes!

624
01:03:42.060 --> 01:03:50.679
Tad Eggleston: So and challenges the unknown number one was just also super super super cool.

625
01:03:51.593 --> 01:03:57.360
Tad Eggleston: Which is how, Chris, even though you killed detective, chimp

626
01:03:57.700 --> 01:04:07.050
Tad Eggleston: and spoiler, alert. But that was last issue. That was plastic man. No more number 3. So if you hadn't been reading it, spoil it for you trade waiters, and I'm sorry.

627
01:04:07.410 --> 01:04:12.838
Tad Eggleston: But come on, it's been on our list over and over again. What are you waiting for? The trade for?

628
01:04:14.300 --> 01:04:21.979
Tad Eggleston: And it's not a major plot. Point war on Gaza from Joe Sacco at fanagraphics, Joe Sacco, previously written.

629
01:04:22.490 --> 01:04:29.040
Tad Eggleston: Palestine, and footnotes from Gaza, as well as other war reporting and comics. Book

630
01:04:29.230 --> 01:04:33.610
Tad Eggleston: comic form. War on Gaza is a

631
01:04:35.890 --> 01:04:44.820
Tad Eggleston: stunning look at at what's going on, and and a really pulls no punches in terms of

632
01:04:49.720 --> 01:05:06.469
Tad Eggleston: yeah, it's it. You should read it. Anybody should read it war on Gaza Joe Sacco, fan of graphics which which put pushed motherfucking monsters all the way to 8, which is the other thing. It would have been the 1st horizon experience. And it's

633
01:05:06.470 --> 01:05:08.409
Tad Eggleston: yeah not to make my top

634
01:05:09.070 --> 01:05:15.159
Tad Eggleston: amazing books of the week. I just could not, could not, could not allow that to happen.

635
01:05:15.540 --> 01:05:16.809
Tyler Johnson: See, I told you. J-hope.

636
01:05:16.810 --> 01:05:17.690
Tad Eggleston: Why we went on.

637
01:05:17.690 --> 01:05:23.540
Tyler Johnson: Bet be coming back motherfucking monsters was so good. You guys.

638
01:05:23.540 --> 01:05:26.099
Tad Eggleston: Ray Holtham and Michael Lee Harris. Oh.

639
01:05:26.100 --> 01:05:28.009
Tyler Johnson: Yep, I had to try.

640
01:05:28.010 --> 01:05:28.490
Tyler Johnson: I'm dead.

641
01:05:28.490 --> 01:05:29.579
Tyler Johnson: Get him off the list.

642
01:05:29.740 --> 01:05:47.420
Tad Eggleston: And then, and then we cheat some more, because Number 9 is both Star Trek, number 7 from Colin Kelly, Jackson, Lancy, Mike Feehan, and Tess Fowler and Star Trek. Lower decks number 2 from Ryan North and Derek Charm. I got to read one line from that last one. Just

643
01:05:47.420 --> 01:05:50.800
Tad Eggleston: yeah. Well, it's because Ryan North is freaking, awesome, Ryan.

644
01:05:51.170 --> 01:05:59.440
Tad Eggleston: Absolutely amazing. But this this line was so amazing that I wound up reading it out loud to my son who I was talking on the phone while I was reading this comment.

645
01:05:59.860 --> 01:06:05.638
Tad Eggleston: Sure cause cause. Essentially they they they come across this, this

646
01:06:07.390 --> 01:06:16.180
Tad Eggleston: this this alien shape, shifting race that like kidnaps people to to

647
01:06:17.310 --> 01:06:25.679
Tad Eggleston: turn into reality TV. And it tells them that their their

648
01:06:26.550 --> 01:06:43.590
Tad Eggleston: doing reality, TV about mentorship. And it's giving them them shape-shifting versions of all of their favorite characters. You know Picard and Janeway, and and Jadzia Dax, and you know some great great characters from from other

649
01:06:44.600 --> 01:06:56.590
Tad Eggleston: Star Trek universe spots but then it turns out, that they are.

650
01:06:59.600 --> 01:07:07.359
Tad Eggleston: The way they're going to learn about mentorship is by having them all fight to the death

651
01:07:08.420 --> 01:07:17.120
Tad Eggleston: in in teams with their mentors, and they're like, Well, wait a minute. What's that have to do with mentorship? But it has the

652
01:07:18.960 --> 01:07:34.259
Tad Eggleston: perfect, perfect, perfect line. Here ratings over the last. Several cycles suggest. Your aggressive mentors are both charismatic and interesting, while you 5 come across as, and I am quoting here less good and

653
01:07:34.700 --> 01:07:37.020
Tad Eggleston: pretty talky, actually.

654
01:07:37.720 --> 01:08:02.700
Tad Eggleston: And then in Ryan north form, there's the the bottom of the page. Note, it says, critical consensus of your climactic speech is that it was okay, I guess, but would have been better if delivered while committing a series of murders, or perhaps while out running a warp core explosion through a series of deadly corridors.

655
01:08:04.680 --> 01:08:05.710
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

656
01:08:06.340 --> 01:08:11.269
Tad Eggleston: Which is just Ryan North satire to its core, and.

657
01:08:11.270 --> 01:08:11.800
Tyler Johnson: Right.

658
01:08:12.040 --> 01:08:27.149
Tad Eggleston: Shocking to me that it's sharing the 9th spot on my amazing comics books this week. This is absolutely an example of 2 things, 1st platinum era of comics. Second.

659
01:08:27.630 --> 01:08:32.380
Tad Eggleston: the week before Christmas. They absolutely load down because they don't want to

660
01:08:32.620 --> 01:08:43.269
Tad Eggleston: have big release weeks, Christmas and New Year's week, particularly this year, where Christmas Day is a Wednesday, and New Year's Day is a Wednesday, and therefore.

661
01:08:43.270 --> 01:08:43.930
Tyler Johnson: Sorry it's hit.

662
01:08:43.939 --> 01:08:45.899
Tad Eggleston: It's gonna throw off sales.

663
01:08:46.019 --> 01:08:47.289
Tad Eggleston: Wait a bit.

664
01:08:47.830 --> 01:08:51.160
Tyler Johnson: That sucks so.

665
01:08:52.590 --> 01:09:03.200
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. Speaking of Christmas Day, my local comic store will be getting their books late again, I was told from

666
01:09:04.120 --> 01:09:08.060
Tyler Johnson: Diamond, so I'm hoping by Friday to have mine.

667
01:09:10.330 --> 01:09:15.250
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I'm gonna be stopping in to get what I can get on Thursday before we leave town.

668
01:09:15.350 --> 01:09:18.440
Tyler Johnson: And the rest I'll just get when I get home.

669
01:09:19.109 --> 01:09:19.769
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

670
01:09:21.299 --> 01:09:23.759
Tad Eggleston: Thankfully. Other than Iron Man.

671
01:09:25.159 --> 01:09:29.649
Tad Eggleston: Most of the stuff that I care the most about next week is actually DC.

672
01:09:30.319 --> 01:09:33.550
Tyler Johnson: Also cool.

673
01:09:34.180 --> 01:09:36.390
Tad Eggleston: That'll make it a little bit easier.

674
01:09:37.170 --> 01:09:39.270
Tyler Johnson: True. There's a batman book coming out.

675
01:09:39.270 --> 01:09:43.099
Tad Eggleston: Well, they come in well, but they come in through Lunar, so they're coming in on time.

676
01:09:43.100 --> 01:09:44.289
Tyler Johnson: Yep. Yep.

677
01:09:46.560 --> 01:09:52.590
Tad Eggleston: So you're at as we check in on our one piece race. 1st of.

678
01:09:52.590 --> 01:09:52.970
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

679
01:09:53.120 --> 01:09:56.299
Tad Eggleston: Did you? Have you opened your?

680
01:09:56.700 --> 01:09:59.820
Tad Eggleston: You're shown in jump recently.

681
01:10:00.380 --> 01:10:03.189
Tyler Johnson: No! What! What do you mean by recent.

682
01:10:03.610 --> 01:10:06.610
Tad Eggleston: Well, today, when I opened my Shonen jump.

683
01:10:07.170 --> 01:10:07.530
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

684
01:10:07.720 --> 01:10:10.499
Tad Eggleston: To find out what chapter I was on.

685
01:10:10.670 --> 01:10:19.360
Tad Eggleston: It had a message for me, telling me that I was in the top 10% of one piece readers for this year.

686
01:10:21.230 --> 01:10:23.189
Tyler Johnson: Wow! I have not opened it today.

687
01:10:23.900 --> 01:10:28.760
Tad Eggleston: So apparently in my reading of 337

688
01:10:28.960 --> 01:10:40.860
Tad Eggleston: chapters, that puts me among the top 10% of people in terms of how much one piece they've read this year, and just think right. I was hoping to have read like

689
01:10:42.440 --> 01:10:44.770
Tad Eggleston: double that. But you know.

690
01:10:45.640 --> 01:10:46.370
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

691
01:10:47.130 --> 01:10:48.270
Tad Eggleston: You know?

692
01:10:48.450 --> 01:10:49.200
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah.

693
01:10:49.200 --> 01:10:50.869
Tyler Johnson: But what happens? Yeah.

694
01:10:52.192 --> 01:10:54.800
Tad Eggleston: Who knows? Maybe 27, and I'm

695
01:10:54.800 --> 01:11:01.209
Tad Eggleston: and I'm at 3, 37. So I think we're both. I I finish again. I finished off the volume, and

696
01:11:01.210 --> 01:11:03.250
Tad Eggleston: yeah, think are in the middle of it.

697
01:11:03.630 --> 01:11:04.110
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

698
01:11:04.420 --> 01:11:06.609
Tad Eggleston: And possibly even the beginning of it.

699
01:11:08.540 --> 01:11:08.890
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

700
01:11:08.890 --> 01:11:11.059
Tyler Johnson: End of the last one I thought

701
01:11:11.370 --> 01:11:11.980
Tad Eggleston: Maybe.

702
01:11:11.980 --> 01:11:18.569
Tyler Johnson: Now, my son, he was here for the week, and we were watching one piece quite a bit. So I'm like getting

703
01:11:18.820 --> 01:11:29.199
Tyler Johnson: double double. Yeah, but I'm way behind in watching it. Cause we recently subscribed to

704
01:11:29.890 --> 01:11:50.350
Tyler Johnson: Oh, God, crunchy, yeah. And so I got that for Christmas, for the 2 of us to enjoy because he's getting me into anime. And yeah. So anyway, he just went home today. So I this next 2 weeks, I'm gonna actually enjoy

705
01:11:50.630 --> 01:11:52.689
Tyler Johnson: me time. You know what I mean.

706
01:11:52.690 --> 01:11:53.600
Tad Eggleston: Hey! Hey!

707
01:11:53.600 --> 01:11:58.360
Tyler Johnson: Because I can finally finally focus on something fun

708
01:11:59.030 --> 01:11:59.780
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah.

709
01:12:00.010 --> 01:12:00.490
Tyler Johnson: Hopefully.

710
01:12:00.490 --> 01:12:12.049
Tad Eggleston: So you're on the shipbuilding island. Yes, but where are you on the shipbuilding island? I don't want to wind up giving it anything away. There's some cool characters on the shipbuilding island.

711
01:12:13.350 --> 01:12:16.704
Tyler Johnson: I don't. I don't have in my ipad on me.

712
01:12:17.040 --> 01:12:18.929
Tad Eggleston: Or were you still at the train station.

713
01:12:19.670 --> 01:12:21.740
Tyler Johnson: No, I'm at the shipbuilding island.

714
01:12:21.740 --> 01:12:22.090
Tad Eggleston: Okay.

715
01:12:22.090 --> 01:12:25.839
Tyler Johnson: Go ahead. Say what you're gonna say, I don't. I don't really care about getting spoiled. It's totally fine.

716
01:12:25.840 --> 01:12:30.029
Tad Eggleston: Well have have you found out about about? The ship.

717
01:12:32.020 --> 01:12:33.889
Tyler Johnson: The shit. No.

718
01:12:34.520 --> 01:12:37.420
Tad Eggleston: They say that the merry-go can't be repaired.

719
01:12:37.890 --> 01:12:39.969
Tyler Johnson: Oh, no, I haven't got there yet.

720
01:12:39.970 --> 01:12:40.930
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

721
01:12:41.410 --> 01:12:42.010
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

722
01:12:42.010 --> 01:12:43.030
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah.

723
01:12:43.280 --> 01:12:46.410
Tad Eggleston: So that they got to figure out what they're doing.

724
01:12:46.410 --> 01:12:47.430
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, yeah.

725
01:12:47.430 --> 01:12:48.779
Tad Eggleston: What to do. Yeah.

726
01:12:49.260 --> 01:12:49.780
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

727
01:12:49.780 --> 01:12:50.650
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, you know.

728
01:12:51.380 --> 01:12:52.850
Tad Eggleston: And they're meeting people.

729
01:12:53.760 --> 01:12:55.020
Tyler Johnson: They're always meeting people.

730
01:12:55.316 --> 01:13:00.790
Tad Eggleston: Well, and there's some what's what's the the old.

731
01:13:02.370 --> 01:13:06.399
Tad Eggleston: the assassin girl that that joined their crew

732
01:13:07.560 --> 01:13:10.210
Tad Eggleston: might be involved in something here.

733
01:13:10.450 --> 01:13:10.840
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

734
01:13:10.840 --> 01:13:13.080
Tad Eggleston: There's some intrigue going on.

735
01:13:14.230 --> 01:13:15.930
Tyler Johnson: Command intrigue.

736
01:13:16.160 --> 01:13:18.450
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. Some sp garage, maybe.

737
01:13:18.450 --> 01:13:22.579
Tad Eggleston: And and they wind up having a a

738
01:13:27.910 --> 01:13:34.869
Tad Eggleston: There! There's a a prime family in the shipbuilding town that they they have a run in with.

739
01:13:35.020 --> 01:13:38.470
Tad Eggleston: So yeah, lots of stuff going on.

740
01:13:40.098 --> 01:13:42.010
Tad Eggleston: I'm looking forward to reading more.

741
01:13:42.690 --> 01:13:44.349
Tyler Johnson: I can't wait to

742
01:13:44.879 --> 01:13:57.460
Tyler Johnson: I mean, I would love to be all caught up just to see what they're at. Now. You know what I mean. I want to jump ahead and just read a chapter in the 1,000 somewhere. And just, you know.

743
01:13:58.220 --> 01:14:06.499
Tad Eggleston: I mean, you can do that. But I would probably feel like I'd read that and go. I have no idea what the fuck I'm just looking at.

744
01:14:06.500 --> 01:14:10.440
Tyler Johnson: I know. I know that's true.

745
01:14:12.280 --> 01:14:13.240
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

746
01:14:13.640 --> 01:14:22.579
Tyler Johnson: But yeah, one piece. We continue to move forward slowly but surely. But we are still talking about John Allison.

747
01:14:22.980 --> 01:14:26.869
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, we decided to do another week of John Allison and I could see us doing

748
01:14:26.980 --> 01:14:38.939
Tad Eggleston: coming back to him, maybe for a while after. I mean, I know we definitely want to do some monstrous, and we might want to do some slaughter verse, and I can think of a handful of other

749
01:14:39.310 --> 01:14:48.649
Tad Eggleston: series that we might want to go explore. But I'm also thinking that that we might wind up exploring some more, John Allison, after we get through our

750
01:14:49.340 --> 01:14:53.860
Tad Eggleston: best of the year stuff, because I've really been enjoying.

751
01:14:54.850 --> 01:15:04.980
Tad Eggleston: It's John Ellison. It's scary. Go around here, you know. It's it's it's not quite his 1st work, but it's early work, and it shows.

752
01:15:05.680 --> 01:15:06.340
Tyler Johnson: Hmm.

753
01:15:06.690 --> 01:15:07.660
Tad Eggleston: Not always.

754
01:15:07.660 --> 01:15:08.000
Tyler Johnson: Yet.

755
01:15:08.000 --> 01:15:16.829
Tad Eggleston: In good ways, but somehow, you know, even even in the places where the art is very primitive.

756
01:15:17.540 --> 01:15:18.050
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

757
01:15:18.050 --> 01:15:22.840
Tad Eggleston: You know, very primitive digital art. The the writing is funny enough.

758
01:15:23.603 --> 01:15:24.550
Tad Eggleston: The art.

759
01:15:24.550 --> 01:15:28.079
Tyler Johnson: Reminds me of old questionable content. When Jeff.

760
01:15:28.080 --> 01:15:28.650
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

761
01:15:29.028 --> 01:15:31.299
Tyler Johnson: Jeff Jock! Is that his name?

762
01:15:31.500 --> 01:15:31.960
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

763
01:15:31.960 --> 01:15:51.826
Tyler Johnson: When he was in the infancy of questionable content, it had a similar flavor to this. You know what I mean, static right? The characters seemed a little bit static, like. There's just no fluidity to their movement or their posture.

764
01:15:52.300 --> 01:16:05.669
Tad Eggleston: But but what I will give him that that I don't. I mean I'd have to go back and look at early, questionable content before I was willing to say this absolutely. What I will give him is that

765
01:16:06.580 --> 01:16:24.200
Tad Eggleston: he's surprisingly good with expression and body language, even if everything else is kind of not detailed.

766
01:16:25.100 --> 01:16:25.710
Tyler Johnson: Sure.

767
01:16:25.880 --> 01:16:27.299
Tad Eggleston: Does that make sense?

768
01:16:27.960 --> 01:16:38.330
Tad Eggleston: I mean, he's not good at elbows or hands, but he's good at tilting the body in such a way to show fear or concern? Or

769
01:16:39.850 --> 01:16:40.670
Tad Eggleston: does that make sense.

770
01:16:40.670 --> 01:16:42.590
Tyler Johnson: Or yes.

771
01:16:43.000 --> 01:16:51.980
Tyler Johnson: yes, I do see that I I love what you say, but not good about elbows and hands. Sometimes elbows are super pointy, and sometimes they're big.

772
01:16:51.980 --> 01:16:55.699
Tad Eggleston: Well, I was looking at one arm where it's like her elbow doesn't exist

773
01:16:56.530 --> 01:16:59.959
Tad Eggleston: because the arm's straight. That means there's just no elbow.

774
01:17:00.330 --> 01:17:00.700
Tyler Johnson: Yes.

775
01:17:00.700 --> 01:17:01.150
Tad Eggleston: Right.

776
01:17:01.150 --> 01:17:02.430
Tyler Johnson: That's probably yeah.

777
01:17:02.880 --> 01:17:09.769
Tad Eggleston: And and like lots of the props, are really really simple and and and but but

778
01:17:10.050 --> 01:17:15.609
Tad Eggleston: even with that, like I'm looking at, do you have yours up.

779
01:17:16.460 --> 01:17:17.060
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

780
01:17:17.410 --> 01:17:19.949
Tad Eggleston: I'm looking at page 130 right now.

781
01:17:20.360 --> 01:17:21.570
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

782
01:17:22.020 --> 01:17:24.099
Tad Eggleston: And literally, I was just flipping through

783
01:17:24.360 --> 01:17:28.079
Tad Eggleston: randomly. But but if you look at that bottom left corner.

784
01:17:29.030 --> 01:17:31.809
Tad Eggleston: your bottom left panel well, it's it's really

785
01:17:34.054 --> 01:17:45.960
Tad Eggleston: bottom panel. But the left side of the bottom panel, the the way that shelly is holding herself.

786
01:17:46.430 --> 01:17:47.170
Tyler Johnson: Right.

787
01:17:48.100 --> 01:17:49.930
Tad Eggleston: Shows that

788
01:17:54.820 --> 01:18:02.860
Tad Eggleston: I mean, even even though again the elbows are sharp, the hands are mediocre, the hair is is.

789
01:18:05.080 --> 01:18:10.710
Tad Eggleston: It's more of an impression of a wild set of hair than like

790
01:18:10.850 --> 01:18:18.660
Tad Eggleston: well-drawn hair. The the room itself is very angular and whatnot, but

791
01:18:18.910 --> 01:18:27.990
Tad Eggleston: the way her hands are on the hips, the the position of her shoulders, the tilt of her head, her facial expression, all

792
01:18:28.360 --> 01:18:33.320
Tad Eggleston: still managed to really get across the.

793
01:18:33.870 --> 01:18:36.540
Tyler Johnson: Oh, no doubt it conveys the message.

794
01:18:36.740 --> 01:18:52.090
Tad Eggleston: Right with, you know it goes. I mean, she's saying here, and for that matter, the word balloon here is great. You know the way that she says squiggly word balloon, Mr. Percy. I know this is an import export company, but what do we import? And.

795
01:18:52.090 --> 01:18:52.470
Tyler Johnson: Correct.

796
01:18:53.840 --> 01:18:55.080
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

797
01:18:55.080 --> 01:18:59.719
Tad Eggleston: Then, and then he's got that perfect like salesman smarmy.

798
01:18:59.900 --> 01:19:07.459
Tad Eggleston: you know, arms wide, big, fake smile. Every one of these crates is a dream, Miss Winters.

799
01:19:07.890 --> 01:19:09.879
Tyler Johnson: I know trainers.

800
01:19:09.880 --> 01:19:10.250
Tad Eggleston: Dream.

801
01:19:10.250 --> 01:19:10.760
Tyler Johnson: Dream.

802
01:19:10.760 --> 01:19:11.610
Tad Eggleston: Business.

803
01:19:11.610 --> 01:19:16.302
Tyler Johnson: Port, if importing and exporting dreams. Right?

804
01:19:17.260 --> 01:19:25.890
Tyler Johnson: I think that you're right, that while technically not a technical good

805
01:19:26.260 --> 01:19:29.905
Tyler Johnson: artists on the early stuff that we're looking at here.

806
01:19:31.440 --> 01:19:34.670
Tad Eggleston: The comics chops are there in spades.

807
01:19:34.950 --> 01:19:42.679
Tyler Johnson: Yes, yes, exactly. The the technical ability is gonna come later on.

808
01:19:42.680 --> 01:19:43.180
Tad Eggleston: Right.

809
01:19:43.870 --> 01:19:44.670
Tyler Johnson: But.

810
01:19:44.670 --> 01:19:47.550
Tad Eggleston: Well, well, go ahead.

811
01:19:47.550 --> 01:19:57.140
Tyler Johnson: But the ability, like you said, to convey a story through a comic strip is well done.

812
01:19:57.370 --> 01:20:09.050
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, no, I mean, it's like, and we've talked about it a million different ways, a million different times with creators without creators. But like.

813
01:20:10.000 --> 01:20:14.540
Tad Eggleston: There is a huge difference between storytelling art and fine art.

814
01:20:14.860 --> 01:20:23.669
Tad Eggleston: and he shows that even here, early on, when it was what he did in the evenings as his hobby.

815
01:20:24.060 --> 01:20:28.699
Tad Eggleston: He had massive storytelling skills.

816
01:20:29.300 --> 01:20:33.480
Tad Eggleston: You know, these stories are funny. They they

817
01:20:33.660 --> 01:20:38.849
Tad Eggleston: make sense. Even if they're weird, you can follow them. They're layered.

818
01:20:39.120 --> 01:20:45.880
Tad Eggleston: The characters are relatable, and you know what I mean, and.

819
01:20:45.880 --> 01:20:46.910
Tyler Johnson: Do you remember?

820
01:20:46.910 --> 01:20:49.269
Tad Eggleston: Thinking, and they're feeling and.

821
01:20:50.130 --> 01:20:56.880
Tyler Johnson: Did you read Roald Dahl books when you were little when you were younger? Did you read Roald Dahl books when you were younger.

822
01:20:56.880 --> 01:20:57.580
Tad Eggleston: Oh, yeah.

823
01:20:57.580 --> 01:21:01.269
Tyler Johnson: Role. Okay? So the the illustrator was Quentin Blake.

824
01:21:02.319 --> 01:21:11.880
Tyler Johnson: and for those books and Quentin Blake's illustrations were so simple they were barely more than stick figures, yet they were so

825
01:21:15.590 --> 01:21:22.109
Tyler Johnson: so perfect for conveying the message of Roald Dahl's books, you know.

826
01:21:22.761 --> 01:21:31.189
Tyler Johnson: That. And then I see a similar thing here. It's just technical skills are not as important as storytelling skills.

827
01:21:31.720 --> 01:21:35.330
Tad Eggleston: Well, and he sometimes does pretty impressive things with color, even though.

828
01:21:35.330 --> 01:21:35.900
Tyler Johnson: For sure.

829
01:21:35.900 --> 01:21:37.850
Tad Eggleston: A really simple palette.

830
01:21:37.850 --> 01:21:39.480
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I agree.

831
01:21:39.480 --> 01:21:41.400
Tad Eggleston: You know the way he he just

832
01:21:42.190 --> 01:21:52.090
Tad Eggleston: graze her face and lips and eyes when she's a zombie, you know the the 5 o'clock shadow that

833
01:21:53.980 --> 01:22:00.119
Tad Eggleston: one of the characters always has. I can't remember his name right now, because I'm terrible with names.

834
01:22:04.000 --> 01:22:04.730
Tad Eggleston: I remember.

835
01:22:04.730 --> 01:22:05.389
Tyler Johnson: Sure

836
01:22:10.440 --> 01:22:11.830
Tad Eggleston: Just so.

837
01:22:12.360 --> 01:22:18.970
Tad Eggleston: I mean, actually, if I go to the back, I think they've got a character guide, don't they? And he even talks about him, always having that shadow.

838
01:22:21.850 --> 01:22:28.009
Tad Eggleston: is it Tim Jones? No, Ryan Beckwith, Ryan.

839
01:22:28.010 --> 01:22:28.600
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

840
01:22:28.600 --> 01:22:29.969
Tad Eggleston: Always has the shadow.

841
01:22:33.140 --> 01:22:37.340
Tad Eggleston: the flintstone stubble. His hair was meant to look like Paul Westerberg

842
01:22:37.970 --> 01:22:41.730
Tad Eggleston: of train wreck, Minneapolis, eighties band. The replacements.

843
01:22:42.160 --> 01:22:43.213
Tyler Johnson: Oh, really.

844
01:22:43.740 --> 01:22:50.380
Tad Eggleston: Nest, but a well-kept nest, not a squat for swallows or a magpie doss house.

845
01:22:52.670 --> 01:22:59.660
Tyler Johnson: Funny awesome. Well, I hate to cut it short, Ted, but I.

846
01:22:59.660 --> 01:23:10.039
Tad Eggleston: No, it's time to time to get going. We should talk about what we think will be spectacular. Next week. We'll do our 1st volume of favorites from the year.

847
01:23:10.390 --> 01:23:11.040
Tad Eggleston: yeah.

848
01:23:11.690 --> 01:23:12.840
Tyler Johnson: That's gonna be awesome.

849
01:23:13.560 --> 01:23:18.886
Tad Eggleston: And you know even what I will say is, is, even with

850
01:23:19.430 --> 01:23:25.440
Tad Eggleston: a more limited list of books coming out next week. There are some.

851
01:23:25.440 --> 01:23:25.890
Tyler Johnson: Good, one.

852
01:23:26.870 --> 01:23:27.740
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. Go.

853
01:23:28.300 --> 01:23:35.459
Tad Eggleston: You didn't put it on yours, either. Neither one of us wound up putting Metamorpho, the element man number one on.

854
01:23:35.460 --> 01:23:36.350
Tyler Johnson: Oh, really.

855
01:23:36.980 --> 01:23:43.580
Tad Eggleston: Our top 3 Al Ewing and Steve Lieber, and it looks really cool. They they had

856
01:23:43.870 --> 01:23:48.109
Tad Eggleston: a preview for it in the back of like every DC. Comic this week.

857
01:23:49.668 --> 01:23:56.480
Tyler Johnson: Did you notice that you, before you name your books here? Did you notice the publishers on yours?

858
01:23:56.810 --> 01:23:58.859
Tad Eggleston: Yes, I did. I was gonna.

859
01:23:58.860 --> 01:23:59.739
Tyler Johnson: Couldn't go back.

860
01:23:59.740 --> 01:24:06.079
Tad Eggleston: But but here's the other thing. Did you see how few books from other publishers are coming out.

861
01:24:06.900 --> 01:24:08.858
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I did. I did.

862
01:24:09.860 --> 01:24:12.880
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, no, yeah, not a lot, not a lot.

863
01:24:13.300 --> 01:24:17.979
Tyler Johnson: But that's okay. All right, Ted. What 3 books do you hope will be spectacular.

864
01:24:18.220 --> 01:24:29.309
Tad Eggleston: And to a certain extent I know they'll be spectacular. I haven't read them, but I mean these. I couldn't have more faith in these 3 creative teams.

865
01:24:29.640 --> 01:24:38.020
Tad Eggleston: because we have Black Canary best of the best number 2 from Tom King and Ryan Sook. The 1st issue was out of this world

866
01:24:38.160 --> 01:24:44.010
Tad Eggleston: as were the 1st 2 issues of both absolute Wonder, Woman and Iron Man.

867
01:24:44.200 --> 01:24:51.509
Tad Eggleston: both of which have issues 3 coming out this week absolute Wonder woman from Kelly, Thompson and Hayden, Sherman and Iron

868
01:24:51.740 --> 01:24:57.410
Tad Eggleston: Man from Pulitzer, prize-winning journalist, Spencer Ackerman, and Julius Oda.

869
01:24:58.370 --> 01:25:01.430
Tad Eggleston: Tom Kelly and Spencer have all

870
01:25:02.790 --> 01:25:07.860
Tad Eggleston: been on 22 panels, Tom and Kelly. Multiple times, Spencer, hopefully, we'll be back soon.

871
01:25:09.710 --> 01:25:13.460
Tad Eggleston: But also it's a good good trade waiter week.

872
01:25:13.750 --> 01:25:15.950
Tad Eggleston: because you get by a thread.

873
01:25:16.280 --> 01:25:25.609
Tad Eggleston: which was the comixology book that Scott Snyder did with his son Jack and Valerio Favacchio on Art.

874
01:25:25.760 --> 01:25:28.980
Tad Eggleston: Don Runner from RAM V. And Evan Cagle

01:25:29.500 --> 01:25:36.399
Tad Eggleston: Tracy from Alex Segura, Michael Maurisi, Chantelle, Amy Osman, and Geraldo Borges.

876
01:25:36.620 --> 01:25:40.840
Tad Eggleston: Heart Piercer from Rich, Dueck and Gavin Smith, and I hate

877
01:25:41.080 --> 01:25:49.170
Tad Eggleston: I heart Skullcrusher volume one from Josie Campbell and Alessio Zano. So like, yeah.

878
01:25:50.210 --> 01:25:51.699
Tad Eggleston: not as big of a week.

879
01:25:51.700 --> 01:25:52.260
Tyler Johnson: Good.

880
01:25:52.940 --> 01:26:14.109
Tad Eggleston: Not as big of a week. Oh, and and tective from Richard Ashley Hamilton, Marco, matron at Maverick, and a King Arthur book that I hadn't hadn't seen before, but it looks pretty cool. It focuses on the ladies of the lake from Vincent Pompetti at Black Panel Press. So even in a light week. We got some, really. And I didn't even miss

881
01:26:14.480 --> 01:26:18.340
Tad Eggleston: friend of the podcast Chris Condon, great arrow number 19.

882

Tad Eggleston: The 1st with Montos.

884
01:26:23.790 --> 01:26:28.900
Tad Eggleston: His 1st issue on Green Arrow was fantastic. I'm really looking forward to seeing where that goes.

885
01:26:29.340 --> 01:26:30.360
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah.

886
01:26:30.360 --> 01:26:36.529
Tad Eggleston: I mean, even with a much, much smaller week. There's crap ton of good stuff coming out.

887
01:26:36.530 --> 01:26:42.190
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, there's a new comic coming up from Jg. Jones and Phil Brom called dust to dust.

888
01:26:42.320 --> 01:26:45.150
Tyler Johnson: That looks good looking forward to out image.

889
01:26:45.831 --> 01:26:54.139
Tyler Johnson: I'm really liking what Jeff Loeb is doing in Batman, the Long Halloween, the last Halloween. This is issue 4 with Eduardo recently.

01:27:18.200 --> 01:27:19.259
Tad Eggleston: Good stuff.

893
01:27:20.280 --> 01:27:27.620
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, literally looking forward to that. I'm really enjoying. I keep saying it. But these anthologies are very cool.

894
01:27:27.620 --> 01:27:35.329
Tad Eggleston: Having great. It's a great anthology, comic life. I'm glad that they're they've they've

895
01:27:35.830 --> 01:27:39.590
Tad Eggleston: become a thing that sells well enough to to do more of

896
01:27:41.940 --> 01:27:44.660
Tyler Johnson: I enjoy the one and done stories better.

897
01:27:44.660 --> 01:27:45.179
Tad Eggleston: I do, too.

898
01:27:45.180 --> 01:27:51.390
Tyler Johnson: Hello, darkness. Hello! Darkness is doing the kind of the you know, you know, chapter by chapter, and.

899
01:27:51.390 --> 01:27:53.409
Tad Eggleston: It's doing a mix. But yeah.

900
01:27:54.690 --> 01:28:05.059
Tyler Johnson: But I'm enjoying the with the other series that we mentioned earlier. I can't think of the title of it, though. Abyss epitask from the abyss.

901
01:28:05.400 --> 01:28:06.530
Tad Eggleston: Have something else.

902
01:28:06.530 --> 01:28:08.499
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. The one off stories. Yeah.

903
01:28:08.500 --> 01:28:15.061
Tad Eggleston: I I you know something that that I've noticed with, you know, reading the heavy Metal Book Club, too.

904
01:28:18.080 --> 01:28:21.890
Tad Eggleston: with a good anthology as long as it's not too expensive.

905
01:28:22.650 --> 01:28:23.220
Tyler Johnson: Inc.

906
01:28:24.430 --> 01:28:26.990
Tad Eggleston: If there are 2 stories that I really like.

907
01:28:27.610 --> 01:28:29.480
Tad Eggleston: I feel like I got my money's worth.

908
01:28:30.680 --> 01:28:31.160
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

909
01:28:31.160 --> 01:28:37.310
Tad Eggleston: In fact, I might feel like I got my money's worth more than a good single issue. That's part of a bigger story

910
01:28:37.450 --> 01:28:41.569
Tad Eggleston: where it's like I paid $4 to get part 3 of 7.

911
01:28:43.250 --> 01:28:45.949
Tad Eggleston: And it's not really a standalone thing.

912
01:28:46.764 --> 01:28:53.491
Tad Eggleston: So yeah, I love that. We're seeing more of these. I hope they do. Well, I hope that it's

913
01:28:57.960 --> 01:29:04.530
Tad Eggleston: obviously not a new thing, because it's what Ec used to be. Their bread and butter

914
01:29:05.770 --> 01:29:09.879
Tad Eggleston: but but a continuing thing in comics.

915
01:29:10.470 --> 01:29:12.230
Tyler Johnson: Yes, I totally agree.

916
01:29:13.320 --> 01:29:15.299
Tyler Johnson: Awesome. Well, we.

917
01:29:15.300 --> 01:29:16.370
Tad Eggleston: I think we're falling asleep.

918
01:29:16.370 --> 01:29:16.920
Tyler Johnson: Going.

919
01:29:17.370 --> 01:29:18.269
Tad Eggleston: I am.

920
01:29:18.270 --> 01:29:22.850
Tyler Johnson: I literally am. I'm such an old man.

921
01:29:22.850 --> 01:29:26.309
Tad Eggleston: And sliding down the wall. The whole episode I went from sitting.

922
01:29:26.310 --> 01:29:28.750
Tyler Johnson: Notice that laying down.

923
01:29:29.030 --> 01:29:33.239
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, your face is lower and lower on my screen. It's funny.

924
01:29:33.973 --> 01:29:35.760
