10
00:00:29.300 --> 00:00:34.690
Tyler Johnson: we're not over the interwebs. You can't make any cool noises. I know that's almost a shame.

11
00:00:34.690 --> 00:00:36.020
Tad Eggleston: I know, and it feels like not.

12
00:00:36.020 --> 00:00:36.870
Tyler Johnson: Have my headset.

13
00:00:36.870 --> 00:00:44.259
Tad Eggleston: Because we're in the same spot, but my handset has a lay to it, I mean, I don't even know what to say.

14
00:00:44.260 --> 00:00:45.540
Tyler Johnson: It just feels weird.

15
00:00:45.540 --> 00:00:52.349
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, no, it's closer than we've ever been, because when we did our last in person, we were across a long dining room table.

16
00:00:52.350 --> 00:00:53.990
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, we're we'll be up.

17
00:00:53.990 --> 00:01:01.040
Tad Eggleston: So we were like, we're like 10 feet apart. Now, if I wanna like hitting things on your desk, I can.

18
00:01:01.040 --> 00:01:01.390
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

19
00:01:01.390 --> 00:01:05.030
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah. That's an old toy. Yeah.

00:01:05.030 --> 00:01:07.030

Tyler Johnson: Yeah, yeah.

23
00:01:09.190 --> 00:01:13.130
Tad Eggleston: It's like a 19 fifties era.

24
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.200
Tyler Johnson: Airplane. Yep, weighted thing!

25
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:17.910
Tyler Johnson: It's weird.

26
00:01:17.910 --> 00:01:18.339
Tad Eggleston: It's like a.

27
00:01:18.340 --> 00:01:20.290
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. People. Yeah.

28
00:01:20.610 --> 00:01:23.690
Tyler Johnson: Any who she's superman trailer.

29
00:01:23.690 --> 00:01:24.300
Tyler Johnson: I haven't seen.

30
00:01:24.300 --> 00:01:30.280
Tad Eggleston: Seen it yet. Oh, it's so good, is is it? It's got crypto. I knew. I've seen you know what it's got crypto. I.

31
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:31.090
Tyler Johnson: I have seen it.

32
00:01:31.090 --> 00:01:34.059
Tyler Johnson: I didn't know if there was a longer one.

33
00:01:34.060 --> 00:01:35.950
Tyler Johnson: Everyone that I've seen has.

34
00:01:35.950 --> 00:01:39.080
Tad Eggleston: It was just a quick thing where we're sprinkling.

35
00:01:39.080 --> 00:01:39.970
Tyler Johnson: No snow.

36
00:01:40.230 --> 00:01:47.950
Tad Eggleston: I think that's the teaser to the teaser, that's all I've seen, because that's like the end of.

37
00:01:48.910 --> 00:01:49.890
Tyler Johnson: Done.

38
00:01:50.010 --> 00:01:51.599
Tad Eggleston: The regular. Okay. Okay.

39
00:01:52.873 --> 00:01:53.976
Tyler Johnson: Interesting.

40
00:01:55.260 --> 00:01:58.699
Tad Eggleston: Lots of cool stuff going on. That's that's cool. Lots of cool stuff.

41
00:01:58.700 --> 00:01:59.450
Tyler Johnson: That's cool.

42
00:01:59.450 --> 00:02:01.310
Tad Eggleston: What kind of excited? Yeah.

43
00:02:01.745 --> 00:02:02.180
Tyler Johnson: Which.

44
00:02:02.180 --> 00:02:07.949
Tad Eggleston: Which is weird, because, like getting excited about DC, movies is not something we normally do. No, but it

45
00:02:07.950 --> 00:02:08.460
Tad Eggleston: good. Good.

46
00:02:08.460 --> 00:02:14.360
Tad Eggleston: James Gunn, I trust. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't look like they're trying to retell the origin, which is good.

47
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.407
Tyler Johnson: My brother brought up the other day.

48
00:02:16.700 --> 00:02:22.199
Tyler Johnson: When we were talking about it, he said, do you think it's going to be just a retelling of the original.

49
00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:23.389
Tyler Johnson: so that but I hope we've.

50
00:02:24.110 --> 00:02:25.580
Tad Eggleston: So many times you've seen it

51
00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:33.010
Tad Eggleston: done. Yeah, he knows that, we know, and if we don't know, we've got a million ways to go find out right right.

52
00:02:36.950 --> 00:02:37.430
Tyler Johnson: I see.

53
00:02:37.430 --> 00:02:55.150
Tyler Johnson: So yeah, no superman trailers out, yeah, yeah, hopefully it will. It will live up to is is bad, dad in it, like Luther, it is. And it's really really weird. Because, have you ever seen the movie about a boy.

54
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:57.219
Tyler Johnson: Nicholas Holt?

55
00:02:57.940 --> 00:03:00.070
Tyler Johnson: Marcus? About a boy?

56
00:03:00.070 --> 00:03:00.450
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

57
00:03:00.450 --> 00:03:02.259
Tad Eggleston: Is is Lex, Luther.

58
00:03:02.630 --> 00:03:04.990
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, wow.

59
00:03:04.990 --> 00:03:10.250
Tad Eggleston: So the kid that was in about a boy, in part because he was already an awkward

60
00:03:10.630 --> 00:03:15.099
Tad Eggleston: and not really an actor, and somehow got recruited into the role. Yeah, yeah.

61
00:03:15.100 --> 00:03:19.390
Tyler Johnson: Kept kept at and is now Lex. Luther. Wow, it's just weird.

62
00:03:19.390 --> 00:03:20.970
Tyler Johnson: That is weird. I love.

63
00:03:20.970 --> 00:03:21.320
Tad Eggleston: Don't think.

64
00:03:21.740 --> 00:03:23.860
Tyler Johnson: Cool. I do, too. Yeah.

65
00:03:23.860 --> 00:03:24.929
Tyler Johnson: In his book.

66
00:03:24.930 --> 00:03:35.710
Tad Eggleston: Always been. He's got a new BBC radio thing that I've been listening to off audible, called the richest man in Britain

67
00:03:35.820 --> 00:03:37.219
Tad Eggleston: that that.

68
00:03:37.700 --> 00:03:38.969
Tyler Johnson: It's just.

69
00:03:39.440 --> 00:03:41.709
Tad Eggleston: Funny! That's cool him, him and.

70
00:03:42.896 --> 00:03:44.310
Tyler Johnson: Oh, God!

71
00:03:44.310 --> 00:03:45.639
Tyler Johnson: What's his name? Ben falls.

72
00:03:45.640 --> 00:03:47.569
Tad Eggleston: Yes, I love that album.

73
00:03:47.570 --> 00:03:49.180
Tyler Johnson: That's really good. They got us.

74
00:03:49.180 --> 00:03:49.710
Tad Eggleston: On the avenue.

75
00:03:49.710 --> 00:03:50.280
Tyler Johnson: Yep.

76
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:51.059
Tad Eggleston: They gotta talk about.

77
00:03:51.060 --> 00:03:51.440
Tyler Johnson: You guys.

78
00:03:51.440 --> 00:03:52.910

00:03:56.913 --> 00:03:59.530
Tyler Johnson: Oh, man, let's get back!

83
00:03:59.530 --> 00:04:00.700
Tad Eggleston: Such a good song. Yeah.

84
00:04:00.700 --> 00:04:01.670
Tyler Johnson: We might have that

85
00:04:01.670 --> 00:04:08.410
Tyler Johnson: might have to. Yeah, I don't know if you've noticed that I put music at the bottom of our show notes that might be a winner.

86
00:04:08.410 --> 00:04:11.169
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, that's a good song.

87
00:04:12.290 --> 00:04:15.260
Tyler Johnson: What's the chorus?

88
00:04:16.265 --> 00:04:17.269
Tyler Johnson: Motherlando.

89
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:17.639
Tad Eggleston: Hello!

90
00:04:18.023 --> 00:04:21.820
Tyler Johnson: Right right, because he's my mom's gonna be Vpp.

91
00:04:21.829 --> 00:04:22.669
Tad Eggleston: He was your Vp.

92
00:04:22.670 --> 00:04:25.820
Tyler Johnson: Nominee right right not da da be.

93
00:04:25.820 --> 00:04:33.220
Tad Eggleston: He's done fucking red.

94
00:04:34.500 --> 00:04:39.200
Tyler Johnson: Live to hang out with the boys. She's the movies, kicks it.

95
00:04:40.470 --> 00:04:46.870
Tyler Johnson: Oh, man, that's so true! Though he had no soon to be mother-in-law.

96
00:04:46.870 --> 00:04:49.930
Tad Eggleston: I didn't even I don't. Well, no, I don't think they actually ever got married.

97
00:04:49.930 --> 00:04:50.739
Tyler Johnson: They didn't. They didn't.

98
00:04:50.740 --> 00:04:51.770
Tad Eggleston: I don't think so.

99
00:04:52.260 --> 00:05:03.460
Tyler Johnson: Well, I'm not certain that he didn't find out from the press that he had a child on the way.

100
00:05:03.460 --> 00:05:04.630
Tyler Johnson: Sounds like.

101
00:05:04.630 --> 00:05:09.770
Tad Eggleston: It sounds like even dating. It was more of a.

102
00:05:09.770 --> 00:05:14.280
Tyler Johnson: Hook up, hook up crazy.

103
00:05:14.970 --> 00:05:16.470
Tyler Johnson: So you know.

104
00:05:16.470 --> 00:05:17.030
Tad Eggleston: Good news.

105
00:05:17.500 --> 00:05:26.369
Tyler Johnson: Pop! Up and Tintin entered the public domain this week, like with Mickey Mouse last year.

106
00:05:26.610 --> 00:05:47.919
Tad Eggleston: I guess Mickey Mouse was Mickey Mouse last year or 2 years ago. I think it was last year, and Winnie the pooh! Last year. Only like early versions, you know, when they make changes so definitely used. Popeye. But but you should be careful about having his powers attached to spinach, because that was

107
00:05:48.270 --> 00:05:50.769
Tad Eggleston: like a decade and a half later.

108
00:05:50.770 --> 00:05:51.719
Tyler Johnson: So they got to wait.

109
00:05:51.720 --> 00:06:02.690
Tad Eggleston: So so, yeah, so copyright law is weird with that stuff. Yeah, so kind of like. Last year it was only the steamboat Willie version of Mickey.

110
00:06:02.890 --> 00:06:06.630
Tad Eggleston: and I think there's actually even some, some new.

111
00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:11.519
Tyler Johnson: Mickey's that are going into the public domain.

112
00:06:12.760 --> 00:06:14.040
Tad Eggleston: That would be as a.

113
00:06:14.450 --> 00:06:18.725
Tyler Johnson: New versions of Mickey Mouse entering public domain

114
00:06:21.740 --> 00:06:30.189
Tad Eggleston: Would be the Carnival kid which marked the 1st time the character spoke. His very 1st words are hot dogs, hot dogs.

115
00:06:30.630 --> 00:06:42.310
Tad Eggleston: and then he didn't wear white gloves until 1928. But next year, in 2025, we get the version of Mickey Mouse with the signature White

116
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:44.270
Tad Eggleston: gloves.

117
00:06:44.270 --> 00:06:44.750
Tad Eggleston: It didn't.

118
00:06:44.750 --> 00:06:46.020
Tyler Johnson: The public domain.

119
00:06:46.020 --> 00:06:46.520
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

120
00:06:46.520 --> 00:06:46.920
Tad Eggleston: And.

121
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.600
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. In 2024. We got the steamboat Willie.

122
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:50.060
Tad Eggleston: Really.

123
00:06:50.060 --> 00:06:52.050
Tyler Johnson: Right? Yeah, okay.

124
00:06:52.590 --> 00:07:00.189
Tad Eggleston: So. And of course there are already horror movies in production for for Popeye.

125
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:07.739
Tad Eggleston: They're always the 1st ones to jump on the the public domain stuff. Yeah.

126
00:07:09.990 --> 00:07:16.100
Tyler Johnson: It'll be interesting. The Fana Graphics has been reprinting the.

127
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:36.050
Tad Eggleston: The old thimble theater stuff. So papa has already been making a little bit of resurgence, possibly because going into public domain, there are also real creators that want to go like really study it, because then, you know, they're allowed to actually do stuff with it. So we'll see what happens.

128
00:07:37.620 --> 00:07:43.259
Tad Eggleston: And then, good news, at least for the moment

129
00:07:43.380 --> 00:08:07.490
Tad Eggleston: a Federal court struck down the law that would have put booksellers and librarians in jeopardy in Arkansas. Section one of the law known as Act 372 would have made furnishing a harmful item to a minor, a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail, while Section 5 established a new procedure for handling book challenges in public libraries.

130
00:08:07.490 --> 00:08:17.700
Tad Eggleston: Both sections were struck down. Section one. Violating due process section 5, violating 1st Amendment rights.

131
00:08:20.080 --> 00:08:22.719
Tyler Johnson: This is an incredibly good ruling.

132
00:08:23.580 --> 00:08:33.180
Tad Eggleston: Unfortunately, the Governor and Attorney General have already indicated that they will be appealing, and you

133
00:08:33.630 --> 00:08:44.710
Tad Eggleston: never know what will happen if it makes the supreme. So that's crazy. It's nice to know that there are some judges out there that think that

134
00:08:45.427 --> 00:08:49.570
Tad Eggleston: we shouldn't jail people for making books available.

135
00:08:50.820 --> 00:08:57.680
Tad Eggleston: The question is whether the highest judges in the land will agree with them.

136
00:08:58.030 --> 00:09:01.780
Tad Eggleston: I wish it wasn't a question. It would be great if it wasn't a question.

137
00:09:01.780 --> 00:09:02.169
Tyler Johnson: No kidding.

138
00:09:02.170 --> 00:09:29.989
Tad Eggleston: I just drove by all sorts of trump signs from people who like don't realize exactly how much their lives are negatively affected by Republicans who champion for profit healthcare, which is why you don't have any nearby hospitals, because there aren't enough people around who champion for-profit communications, which is why, until the Biden Infrastructure Act. You didn't have any high speed Internet.

139
00:09:29.990 --> 00:09:30.589
Tyler Johnson: Right? Right?

140
00:09:32.330 --> 00:09:32.850
Tyler Johnson: I agree.

141
00:09:32.850 --> 00:09:38.280
Tad Eggleston: You know who champion education, which is why, you know.

142
00:09:39.910 --> 00:09:46.830
Tad Eggleston: Well, it's been the interesting Schadenfreude this week.

143
00:09:46.830 --> 00:09:47.150
Tyler Johnson: Go ahead.

144
00:09:47.150 --> 00:09:50.019
Tyler Johnson: Have you? Have you seen that like.

145
00:09:50.130 --> 00:09:55.640
Tad Eggleston: Elon and Vivek are at war with the

146
00:09:55.890 --> 00:10:02.949
Tad Eggleston: the the white part of Maga. Okay, okay, over which immigrants are okay.

147
00:10:03.463 --> 00:10:06.546
Tyler Johnson: And I suppose there are. Gonna

148
00:10:07.060 --> 00:10:12.320
Tad Eggleston: Does it actually some of the same language regarding regarding American.

149
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:12.650
Tyler Johnson: Than ever.

150
00:10:12.650 --> 00:10:16.080
Tad Eggleston: Americans like to use regarding black people.

151
00:10:16.420 --> 00:10:16.790
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

152
00:10:17.620 --> 00:10:22.269
Tad Eggleston: Apparently it's only about feelings when it's aimed at. Black people.

153
00:10:22.270 --> 00:10:27.020
Tyler Johnson: Right, and when it's aimed at white people, it's something else.

155
00:10:32.650 --> 00:10:33.210
Tyler Johnson: W-we.

156
00:10:33.210 --> 00:10:38.500
Tad Eggleston: We need to be able to import Indians and Asians and whatnot because you have a mediocre cut.

157
00:10:38.500 --> 00:10:40.300
Tyler Johnson: Culture, that that only.

00:10:49.090 --> 00:10:51.859
Tyler Johnson: As always, and and should I should have kicked you

166
00:11:24.820 --> 00:11:30.180
Tyler Johnson: Those who aren't. I almost jealous because I've actually been trying to be less aware.

167
00:11:30.350 --> 00:11:33.896
Tad Eggleston: It's just for my own mental health. But

168
00:11:36.300 --> 00:11:39.900
Tyler Johnson: Oh, oh, darn it, it's Per Andy Bora.

169
00:11:39.900 --> 00:11:40.470
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

170
00:11:40.470 --> 00:11:44.999

171
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:45.620
Tyler Johnson: Then.

172
00:11:45.620 --> 00:11:48.859
Tad Eggleston: True, would have been so awesome if this.

173
00:11:49.329 --> 00:11:49.800
Tyler Johnson: Sure.

174
00:11:49.800 --> 00:11:52.640
Tad Eggleston: But but Borowitz is hilarious. Yes.

175
00:11:54.240 --> 00:12:05.889
Tad Eggleston: after rebuffing Donald J. Trump's hypothetical proposal to purchase Greenland, the government of Denmark announced that it would be interested in buying the United States instead.

176
00:12:06.350 --> 00:12:08.330
Tyler Johnson: As we have stated, ring, ring.

177
00:12:08.330 --> 00:12:12.410
Tad Eggleston: Land is not for sale. A spokesman, the Danish Government said on Friday.

178
00:12:12.410 --> 00:12:13.160
Tyler Johnson: We have

179
00:12:13.160 --> 00:12:20.989
Tyler Johnson: noted, however, that during the trump regime pretty much everything in the United States, including its government, has most definitely been for sale.

180
00:12:21.530 --> 00:12:23.339
Tad Eggleston: Denmark would be interested

181
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:30.009
Tad Eggleston: in the United States in its entirety. With the exception of its government, a spokesperson added.

182
00:12:30.010 --> 00:12:30.460
Tyler Johnson: We will.

183
00:12:30.460 --> 00:12:38.110
Tad Eggleston: Believe that by giving the Us. An educational system and national health care it could be transformed from a vast landmass.

184
00:12:38.110 --> 00:12:43.130
Tad Eggleston: Great thing, as the spokesperson said.

185
00:12:44.250 --> 00:12:50.480
Tyler Johnson: Only that there you go, only way that was real. I read it the 1st time as real Esriel.

186
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:52.760
Tad Eggleston: Real man, the end would have been awesome.

187
00:12:52.760 --> 00:12:55.370

00:12:59.150 --> 00:13:00.510
Tyler Johnson: Normally.

191
00:13:01.670 --> 00:13:04.470
Tad Eggleston: Jake Whoa is more.

192
00:13:09.370 --> 00:13:09.990
Tyler Johnson: And and.

193
00:13:09.990 --> 00:13:18.649
Tad Eggleston: And this is the sheets and giggles. There's keens and giggles, so you know, it's the lots of jokes. But

194
00:13:20.830 --> 00:13:25.639
Tad Eggleston: and Andy has been doing a little bit more actual reporting, so so I might.

195
00:13:25.880 --> 00:13:28.649
Tyler Johnson: Might have to look into that some

196
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:34.048
Tyler Johnson: definitely, but still still funny, though.

197
00:13:36.490 --> 00:13:38.309
Tyler Johnson: What do you? What do you got here?

198
00:13:46.820 --> 00:13:47.900
Tad Eggleston: Hmm.

199
00:13:54.670 --> 00:13:55.190
Tyler Johnson: Sure, sure.

200
00:13:55.190 --> 00:14:01.180
Tad Eggleston: Bye, bye. Well, I'm trying to figure out if the London economic is a

201
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:05.160
Tad Eggleston: because that's where all the slides were for.

202
00:14:05.580 --> 00:14:06.650
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. Yes.

203
00:14:07.280 --> 00:14:09.699
Tad Eggleston: So I'm trying to figure out if

204
00:14:10.470 --> 00:14:16.030
Tad Eggleston: we'll have to dig more into that. If we discover later that that was real, we're going to be like.

205
00:14:16.430 --> 00:14:18.750
Tyler Johnson: Over the moon. Happy? Yeah.

206
00:14:18.750 --> 00:14:19.200
Tyler Johnson: Cause that.

207
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:19.530
Tad Eggleston: So.

208
00:14:19.530 --> 00:14:20.520
Tyler Johnson: Hilarious.

209
00:14:21.280 --> 00:14:22.890

00:14:29.860 --> 00:14:41.059
Tad Eggleston: headlines are. Elon Musk says 1 billion dollar offer to Rename. Wikipedia still stands. I don't know. So I'm thinking that this is like the British onion.

212
00:14:41.060 --> 00:14:41.740
Tyler Johnson: Oh, sure. Sure.

213
00:14:41.740 --> 00:14:43.560
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. Okay.

214
00:14:46.040 --> 00:14:51.190
Tad Eggleston: This feels like it might just be the the British onion.

215
00:14:53.390 --> 00:14:55.629

00:15:30.260 --> 00:15:30.990

224
00:15:30.990 --> 00:15:32.000

00:44:16.936 --> 00:44:20.199
Tyler Johnson: Check that out. Yeah. At some point.

624
00:44:23.160 --> 00:44:29.800

Tad Eggleston: on iron man.

00:44:53.370 --> 00:44:54.850
Tyler Johnson: Couple of weeks like 2 closing.

634
00:44:54.850 --> 00:44:59.499

00:45:33.600 --> 00:45:40.820
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. Yeah. Also amazing. Kelly Thompson, Hayden, Sherman continue to just knock it out of the park with absolute.

643
00:45:40.820 --> 00:45:41.379
Tyler Johnson: I was losing.

644
00:45:42.230 --> 00:45:43.429
Tyler Johnson: Are these gonna be ongoing.

645
00:45:43.430 --> 00:45:46.279

00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:47.100
Tyler Johnson: The Absolute.

647
00:45:47.100 --> 00:45:49.230

00:45:51.940 --> 00:45:54.240
Tyler Johnson: I'm enjoying absolute batman. Yeah.

651
00:45:54.240 --> 00:46:03.889
Tad Eggleston: I've been not keeping up with Batman and Superman as well, but I haven't disliked them, and the Wonder Woman's just been.

652
00:46:06.484 --> 00:46:07.620
Tyler Johnson: So.

653
00:46:07.730 --> 00:46:10.970
Tad Eggleston: How far did you get him in one piece? One piece

654
00:46:10.970 --> 00:46:13.109
Tad Eggleston: I got to where you were.

655
00:46:13.110 --> 00:46:13.589
Tyler Johnson: Can I ask?

656
00:46:13.590 --> 00:46:14.830
Tyler Johnson: I'm at 3, 37.

657
00:46:14.830 --> 00:46:17.980
Tad Eggleston: And I finished the next.

658
00:46:17.980 --> 00:46:19.520
Tyler Johnson: The whole next volume, right? So.

659
00:46:19.520 --> 00:46:23.230
Tad Eggleston: I'm at 3, 46. Okay, okay, so

660
00:46:24.250 --> 00:46:36.310
Tad Eggleston: have you, have you gotten to the attack on on the mayor? Yeah, yeah. I think that was previous. Okay, have they accused.

661
00:46:37.330 --> 00:46:38.600
Tyler Johnson: People, yet.

662
00:46:41.370 --> 00:46:43.100
Tad Eggleston: Yes, yes. Okay. Okay, yeah.

663
00:46:43.100 --> 00:46:44.929
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. So what are your thoughts?

664
00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:50.250
Tyler Johnson: It's tough, I mean, Nico Robbins has been.

665
00:46:51.330 --> 00:46:53.309
Tyler Johnson: and an interesting addition to the.

666
00:46:54.520 --> 00:47:00.039
Tad Eggleston: I mean, I think, we commented at the time that felt really weird that she went from trying to kill them to.

667
00:47:00.720 --> 00:47:01.130
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

668
00:47:01.130 --> 00:47:02.810
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. Come on in.

669
00:47:03.290 --> 00:47:05.620
Tad Eggleston: And I think it's telling of

670
00:47:06.260 --> 00:47:10.249
Tad Eggleston: of the type of person Luffy is that, even given that

671
00:47:10.590 --> 00:47:14.789
Tad Eggleston: background that he's willing, he he

672
00:47:14.930 --> 00:47:19.219
Tad Eggleston: absolutely believes that she's innocent. Yes, yes, he's willing.

673
00:47:19.680 --> 00:47:20.190
Tyler Johnson: Don't!

674
00:47:20.190 --> 00:47:20.570
Tyler Johnson: Oh.

675
00:47:20.891 --> 00:47:23.140
Tad Eggleston: He! It's just it's like he just.

676
00:47:23.140 --> 00:47:24.759
Tad Eggleston: He's just the type of person he is

677
00:47:24.760 --> 00:47:28.390
Tad Eggleston: once he sees the good in you like.

678
00:47:29.510 --> 00:47:30.180
Tyler Johnson: You're you're.

679
00:47:30.180 --> 00:47:32.950
Tad Eggleston: Good, and so you show him you're not good, and even then.

680
00:47:32.950 --> 00:47:35.490
Tyler Johnson: Even show you how we're we're.

681
00:47:35.490 --> 00:47:36.270
Tad Eggleston: Good.

682
00:47:36.270 --> 00:47:36.810
Tyler Johnson: Yes.

683
00:47:38.250 --> 00:48:05.659
Tad Eggleston: I think the the unenlightened would call it naivety, but I think it's not. I think it's a kind of confidence and belief in not just himself, but the world that you don't see very often, and I think if we saw more of it, we'd live in a.

684
00:48:05.660 --> 00:48:12.180
Tyler Johnson: Better off for sure, if we were more like left, you know. No, yes.

685
00:48:12.180 --> 00:48:12.730
Tad Eggleston: This.

686
00:48:12.890 --> 00:48:15.010
Tyler Johnson: Some of it is being nice.

687
00:48:15.010 --> 00:48:15.330
Tyler Johnson: He is.

688
00:48:15.330 --> 00:48:16.320
Tad Eggleston: Is.

689
00:48:17.570 --> 00:48:19.339
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. It's a little bit.

690
00:48:19.340 --> 00:48:20.069
Tyler Johnson: I know the condition.

691
00:48:20.070 --> 00:48:23.930
Tad Eggleston: Not acknowledging. I don't know that he doesn't believe that they could be bad.

692
00:48:23.930 --> 00:48:29.070
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I think that it's like I can handle it if they're bad.

693
00:48:29.750 --> 00:48:36.560
Tad Eggleston: But but I'm gonna give him every opportunity to be good. It's not like he loses fights.

694
00:48:36.560 --> 00:48:37.080
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

695
00:48:37.080 --> 00:48:39.400
Tad Eggleston: Not like. He's so naive that like.

696
00:48:39.400 --> 00:48:41.130
Tyler Johnson: You're right. Yeah, he's getting his ass.

697
00:48:41.130 --> 00:48:42.450
Tad Eggleston: Ass handed to him.

698
00:48:42.780 --> 00:48:48.079
Tyler Johnson: Right. I don't think it's naivety. I think it's I believe in you.

699
00:48:48.080 --> 00:48:49.860
Tyler Johnson: Do you think he cares.

700
00:48:49.860 --> 00:48:50.720
Tad Eggleston: The rest of his group.

701
00:48:52.316 --> 00:48:55.969
Tyler Johnson: No, I think he's trying to. I mean, I.

702
00:48:56.310 --> 00:49:01.440
Tad Eggleston: Whether he's trying to or not. Like essence of his characters. He wants to inspire them, too. Yeah, I mean, I mean.

703
00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:01.800
Tyler Johnson: Think about.

704
00:49:01.800 --> 00:49:06.409
Tad Eggleston: About every member of his crew started out, wanted wanted to kill him.

705
00:49:06.410 --> 00:49:07.000
Tyler Johnson: That's true.

706
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:07.380
Tad Eggleston: Literally.

707
00:49:07.380 --> 00:49:12.770
Tyler Johnson: They all they all did, I mean every member of his started out.

708
00:49:12.770 --> 00:49:13.620
Tad Eggleston: Out!

709
00:49:14.030 --> 00:49:15.329
Tyler Johnson: As as an adversary.

710
00:49:16.100 --> 00:49:16.630
Tad Eggleston: Oh!

711
00:49:17.460 --> 00:49:18.359
Tyler Johnson: With with.

712
00:49:18.360 --> 00:49:19.720
Tad Eggleston: Different levels of.

713
00:49:19.720 --> 00:49:20.060
Tyler Johnson: Oh!

714
00:49:20.060 --> 00:49:22.646
Tad Eggleston: Of you know

715
00:49:26.560 --> 00:49:33.259
Tyler Johnson: Miscommunication or misunderstanding involved right right right, and sometimes no mis.

716
00:49:33.260 --> 00:49:38.270
Tad Eggleston: Communication issues misunderstanding just like once they got to know him.

717
00:49:38.563 --> 00:49:39.150
Tyler Johnson: They will.

718
00:49:39.150 --> 00:49:41.318
Tad Eggleston: Going over by him. Yeah. Yeah.

719
00:49:41.890 --> 00:49:44.259
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I think this is like

720
00:49:45.860 --> 00:49:51.030
Tyler Johnson: in a world that values. Oh, what was the line I heard.

721
00:49:52.980 --> 00:49:57.227
Tad Eggleston: I feel like I. I heard it in a movie recently,

722
00:49:59.080 --> 00:50:03.120
Tad Eggleston: shoot 1st and ask questions. Never. Okay. Okay.

723
00:50:04.060 --> 00:50:05.850
Tyler Johnson: Ask us, never right?

724
00:50:05.850 --> 00:50:11.380
Tad Eggleston: Might have been in a comic. It was a line referring to like.

725
00:50:11.380 --> 00:50:12.030
Tyler Johnson: I'm not American.

726
00:50:12.030 --> 00:50:16.329
Tad Eggleston: Gun culture, you know. Shoot 1st and ask questions. Never.

727
00:50:21.790 --> 00:50:28.320
Tad Eggleston: He represents the look. I'm not gonna let you beat me up, but I'd rather not fight.

728
00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:28.650
Tyler Johnson: I'd rather.

729
00:50:28.650 --> 00:50:30.599
Tad Eggleston: Rather be friends. Yeah, you know.

730
00:50:30.600 --> 00:50:32.499
Tyler Johnson: I'd rather see if we can be friends.

731
00:50:32.500 --> 00:50:33.959
Tyler Johnson: Rather have you on my current group.

732
00:50:33.960 --> 00:50:36.769
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. Like, travel with me.

733
00:50:36.770 --> 00:50:38.049
Tyler Johnson: Let's let's let's find this.

734
00:50:38.050 --> 00:50:38.400
Tad Eggleston: This.

735
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:38.720
Tyler Johnson: Wonder.

736
00:50:38.720 --> 00:50:44.470
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah, let's let's be friends. Our partners, rather than fighting.

737
00:50:44.470 --> 00:50:48.070
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, you know. I think it.

738
00:50:49.120 --> 00:50:51.769
Tad Eggleston: Reaches a truth that.

739
00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:58.000
Tyler Johnson: A lot of people have trouble with is one of the cores of the.

740
00:50:58.190 --> 00:51:06.270
Tad Eggleston: The division in American culture. Right now the idea that strength is found through violence.

741
00:51:06.860 --> 00:51:13.549
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, Luffy can do violence. He can do violence. Great. I don't think Luffy views that as his strength.

742
00:51:13.910 --> 00:51:18.140
Tyler Johnson: No, he and I certainly don't think this is.

743
00:51:18.140 --> 00:51:21.020
Tad Eggleston: Story itself shows it to be his strength. Yeah, yeah, he.

744
00:51:21.020 --> 00:51:21.570
Tyler Johnson: Please click.

745
00:51:21.570 --> 00:51:21.990

Tad Eggleston: How she saves me!

752
00:51:32.140 --> 00:51:33.410
Tyler Johnson: That's how she does it, you know.

753
00:51:33.410 --> 00:51:34.140
Tad Eggleston: Right.

00:51:34.140 --> 00:51:36.300

00:51:39.990 --> 00:51:40.410
Tyler Johnson: He can't.

759
00:51:40.410 --> 00:51:41.410
Tad Eggleston: Can step up.

760
00:51:41.410 --> 00:51:45.250
Tad Eggleston: No, no, I mean, I also like fight.

761
00:51:45.250 --> 00:51:47.969
Tyler Johnson: But like like she has to, she'll have like

762
00:51:47.970 --> 00:51:54.229
Tyler Johnson: 1 billion squirrels holding you down now right.

763
00:51:54.230 --> 00:51:56.549
Tad Eggleston: You mean she's not without.

764
00:51:56.550 --> 00:51:57.689

Tad Eggleston: So yeah, yeah, no. I like have a deeper appreciation for that

768
00:52:04.340 --> 00:52:07.599
Tad Eggleston: as as we go through, I'm gonna be really interested to see.

769
00:52:07.600 --> 00:52:08.550
Tyler Johnson: Or take.

770
00:52:08.550 --> 00:52:09.720
Tad Eggleston: On this next volume.

771
00:52:10.090 --> 00:52:16.490
Tad Eggleston: Okay? Because there are elements of of that that are really put to the test here.

772
00:52:16.690 --> 00:52:17.190
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

773
00:52:18.830 --> 00:52:26.219
Tad Eggleston: and going into the next volume. I don't even know exactly what the resolution is. I just know that, like the elements of that

774
00:52:26.460 --> 00:52:30.680
Tad Eggleston: or or what really, this next volume or 2

775
00:52:34.090 --> 00:52:36.829
Tad Eggleston: can't wait. So I'm I'm looking forward to it, looking forward to that.

776
00:52:37.205 --> 00:52:37.580
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

777
00:52:37.580 --> 00:52:38.479
Tyler Johnson: Well, this is what I.

778
00:52:38.480 --> 00:52:40.090
Tad Eggleston: So you're really, we've been reading.

779
00:52:40.710 --> 00:52:43.730
Tyler Johnson: One piece for at least 21.

780
00:52:45.780 --> 00:52:47.109
Tad Eggleston: That I like.

781
00:52:47.110 --> 00:52:48.120
Tyler Johnson: Really skipping.

782
00:52:48.120 --> 00:52:50.829
Tad Eggleston: One. It was at least week 21.

783
00:52:50.830 --> 00:52:51.350
Tyler Johnson: Wow.

784
00:52:51.350 --> 00:52:59.909
Tyler Johnson: I'm just looking at our yeah. I think it's way more likely that it's been longer than that, because I forgot to update one.

785
00:52:59.910 --> 00:53:00.250
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

786
00:53:00.250 --> 00:53:00.680
Tad Eggleston: Okay.

787
00:53:01.300 --> 00:53:03.599
Tad Eggleston: I haven't gone back to some point.

788
00:53:03.600 --> 00:53:04.260
Tyler Johnson: Go go back.

789
00:53:04.260 --> 00:53:05.589
Tad Eggleston: And like, actually.

790
00:53:05.590 --> 00:53:07.169
Tyler Johnson: Go back, because let's go.

791
00:53:07.170 --> 00:53:09.390
Tad Eggleston: Oh, wait a minute! 20.

792
00:53:09.390 --> 00:53:09.860
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, we're like.

793
00:53:09.860 --> 00:53:13.651
Tad Eggleston: We went. 1212, 12.

794
00:53:14.410 --> 00:53:16.669
Tyler Johnson: That's weird. 2121.

795
00:53:16.670 --> 00:53:17.269
Tad Eggleston: Weeks at least.

796
00:53:17.270 --> 00:53:21.850
Tyler Johnson: At least, because I mean, that's almost 6 months crazy.

797
00:53:21.850 --> 00:53:26.720
Tad Eggleston: Well, and we did. We started in, I think, June or July. Okay, yeah.

798
00:53:26.720 --> 00:53:27.790
Tyler Johnson: Wow! Time.

799
00:53:27.790 --> 00:53:31.480
Tad Eggleston: That I did notice while I was going through old show notes to

800
00:53:31.750 --> 00:53:39.539
Tad Eggleston: to figure out my best of the year. So we got 3 categories. Today, best big ones.

801
00:53:39.540 --> 00:53:39.930
Tyler Johnson: Yes.

802
00:53:39.930 --> 00:53:41.309
Tad Eggleston: I decided to start with the biggest.

803
00:53:41.310 --> 00:53:41.650
Tyler Johnson: This is.

804
00:53:41.650 --> 00:53:42.500
Tad Eggleston: Like once.

805
00:53:42.980 --> 00:53:44.999
Tad Eggleston: It's more fun to do the.

806
00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:45.500
Tyler Johnson: Chatting.

807
00:53:45.500 --> 00:53:46.420
Tad Eggleston: Obviously this is.

808
00:53:46.420 --> 00:53:46.780
Tyler Johnson: Sure, one.

809
00:53:46.780 --> 00:53:49.480
Tad Eggleston: One people came for these would be big ones.

810
00:53:49.480 --> 00:53:51.460
Tyler Johnson: Sure I've been looking forward to this.

811
00:53:51.460 --> 00:53:56.490
Tad Eggleston: So my question, you decided that we are actually ranking.

812
00:53:56.620 --> 00:53:59.489
Tad Eggleston: Do you want to.

813
00:54:00.060 --> 00:54:01.420
Tyler Johnson: Starter. Number 3.

814
00:54:01.420 --> 00:54:04.949
Tyler Johnson: Go 3 to one, or just rattle off.

815
00:54:04.950 --> 00:54:05.650
Tyler Johnson: Let's start at 3.

816
00:54:05.650 --> 00:54:07.629
Tad Eggleston: Do you want to go back and forth.

817
00:54:07.630 --> 00:54:08.760
Tyler Johnson: Or or.

818
00:54:08.760 --> 00:54:12.730
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah, okay. So we'll go back and forth.

819
00:54:14.010 --> 00:54:20.349
Tad Eggleston: I'm gonna tell people right now, show notes. I'm not gonna rework it. They're they're gonna be 1, 2, 3,

820
00:54:20.490 --> 00:54:20.970
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

821
00:54:20.970 --> 00:54:26.120
Tad Eggleston: Because show notes are allowed to be spoiled. You're looking at the show notes before you listen and get the spoilers.

822
00:54:27.057 --> 00:54:33.129
Tad Eggleston: So we flip a coin to see who goes first.st

823
00:54:33.130 --> 00:54:34.150
Tyler Johnson: No, you go!

824
00:54:34.150 --> 00:54:39.419
Tad Eggleston: I go first, st my 3rd favorite ongoing, and it's.

825
00:54:39.960 --> 00:54:42.100
Tyler Johnson: Amazing yeah.

826
00:54:42.100 --> 00:54:43.050
Tad Eggleston: Loving arrow.

827
00:54:43.050 --> 00:54:44.599
Tyler Johnson: I can live in where this.

828
00:54:44.600 --> 00:54:48.049
Tad Eggleston: This is my 3rd favorite one ongoing, and where.

829
00:54:50.620 --> 00:54:58.149
Tyler Johnson: One of your ongoings. I've heard great things about and need to catch up on, but haven't read at all.

830
00:54:59.170 --> 00:55:00.319
Tad Eggleston: Ones that like.

831
00:55:00.800 --> 00:55:04.370
Tyler Johnson: We're in real real, along with like a dozen.

832
00:55:04.370 --> 00:55:07.679
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, what's the furthest place from here? They make either of our.

833
00:55:07.680 --> 00:55:09.690
Tyler Johnson: I know that that's an amazing book.

834
00:55:09.690 --> 00:55:10.999
Tyler Johnson: It's crazy. So.

835
00:55:11.000 --> 00:55:29.799
Tad Eggleston: My number 3 ongoing series. Got a second arc this year. Black cloak from Kelly Thompson, Meredith Mclaren at Image. I love Meredith's visual storytelling. I love Kelly's sense of humor. I love a good mystery. I love a good

836
00:55:29.950 --> 00:55:46.670
Tad Eggleston: finding oneself tale, and like this has all of those. Yeah. You know I love the 1st volume of black cloak. I'm liking the second one just as much black from image comics. Kelly Thompson and Meredith Mclaren is my 3rd best ongoing series.

837
00:55:46.670 --> 00:55:49.459
Tyler Johnson: This is the one that I suspect you haven't read yet.

838
00:55:49.460 --> 00:55:50.030
Tad Eggleston: I haven't yet.

839
00:55:50.030 --> 00:55:50.380
Tyler Johnson: So it's.

840
00:55:50.380 --> 00:55:50.700
Tad Eggleston: Oh!

841
00:55:50.700 --> 00:55:53.490
Tyler Johnson: Ultimate, spider-man.

842
00:55:53.490 --> 00:56:04.230
Tad Eggleston: Picking up on ultimate wolverine. One of my goals for this week is to read some of the ultimate universe. Yeah, yeah.

843
00:56:05.450 --> 00:56:06.360
Tyler Johnson: Aquama.

844
00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:06.680
Tyler Johnson: Sure.

845
00:56:06.680 --> 00:56:10.220
Tad Eggleston: Sure. Well, Spider, Spider, was my plan.

846
00:56:10.220 --> 00:56:11.539
Tyler Johnson: John Hickman and Marco.

847
00:56:11.540 --> 00:56:13.910
Tad Eggleston: From marvel.

848
00:56:14.660 --> 00:56:16.519
Tad Eggleston: I suspect that these ultimate books.

849
00:56:16.520 --> 00:56:21.600
Tyler Johnson: We're gonna cross something to, I hope? Not too soon.

850
00:56:21.600 --> 00:56:22.200
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

851
00:56:22.200 --> 00:56:22.610
Tad Eggleston: That's my turn.

852
00:56:22.610 --> 00:56:23.220
Tad Eggleston: X-men. Book.

853
00:56:23.930 --> 00:56:24.270
Tyler Johnson: I'll go.

854
00:56:24.910 --> 00:56:25.260
Tyler Johnson: Oh, okay.

855
00:56:25.260 --> 00:56:42.750
Tad Eggleston: Oh, you mean ultimate ultimate books, crossover with each other. Okay, that's okay. I thought you meant with the main universe. No, no, because what made the original ultimate universe really special was, how long before they did any sort of universe cross? Yeah, yeah. So.

856
00:56:42.750 --> 00:56:45.210
Tyler Johnson: Altern. X-men book from peach monk, while.

857
00:56:45.210 --> 00:56:50.270
Tad Eggleston: Oh, stunningly beautiful! Great like like it's it's it's.

858
00:56:50.540 --> 00:56:51.230
Tyler Johnson: Very.

859
00:56:51.230 --> 00:56:52.220
Tad Eggleston: Much. Japan.

860
00:56:52.220 --> 00:56:53.690
Tad Eggleston: Ian, okay. Great.

861
00:56:54.100 --> 00:56:56.500
Tyler Johnson: So I really well.

862
00:56:56.500 --> 00:57:15.799
Tad Eggleston: Well, and I'm hearing great things about Dennis Camp's ultimates. It's a toss up whether I read ultimate spider-man or ultimate. Sure. Yeah, because you know Dennis does great work, and that's the one that's getting like the most press in the most places, and apparently

863
00:57:16.480 --> 00:57:18.449
Tad Eggleston: death threats to Dennis.

864
00:57:18.450 --> 00:57:18.810
Tyler Johnson: Really.

865
00:57:18.810 --> 00:57:21.009
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, there was a story about that.

866
00:57:22.090 --> 00:57:26.579
Tad Eggleston: One of the sites I was looking for for a new share. Not credible.

867
00:57:26.580 --> 00:57:27.300
Tad Eggleston: Of course it'll be.

868
00:57:27.300 --> 00:57:34.060
Tad Eggleston: He's mostly laughing about. But somebody put his wife and a stock footage of a gun with

869
00:57:34.060 --> 00:57:50.890
Tad Eggleston: claims that he knew where to find her blah blah and do a social media post. Recently, apparently his wife, who's a activist. What she's most upset about is that people want to kill her for the things that he writes rather than the things that she does.

870
00:57:50.890 --> 00:57:52.630
Tyler Johnson: Jesus.

871
00:57:56.090 --> 00:57:58.269
Tyler Johnson: so you know.

872
00:57:58.270 --> 00:57:59.169
Tyler Johnson: Alright! What's your name?

873
00:57:59.170 --> 00:58:05.819
Tad Eggleston: Well, tell me a little bit, because ultimate spider-man has that twist right in that.

874
00:58:05.820 --> 00:58:07.190
Tyler Johnson: Like like it.

875
00:58:07.190 --> 00:58:10.619
Tad Eggleston: He did not know spite, I mean, if you remember, the original.

876
00:58:10.620 --> 00:58:11.020
Tyler Johnson: University.

877
00:58:11.020 --> 00:58:24.110
Tad Eggleston: That universe was a different version of the main universe, where he was still like bit by the spider, immediately became spider-man. It was more a condensation of

878
00:58:24.820 --> 00:58:31.310
Tad Eggleston: all of the other tales. Yep, yep. But this one he starts out as an adult, doesn't he? Yeah, yeah.

879
00:58:31.310 --> 00:58:33.479
Tyler Johnson: He's an adult. He's middle aged and.

880
00:58:33.480 --> 00:58:34.060
Tad Eggleston: And.

881
00:58:34.060 --> 00:58:40.970
Tyler Johnson: The spider that originally bit him in the original universe was deceived by Tony Tony. Start! Oh.

882
00:58:40.970 --> 00:58:44.439
Tad Eggleston: That universe back back. And and who is Peter?

883
00:58:44.440 --> 00:58:44.810
Tyler Johnson: So he'll.

884
00:58:44.810 --> 00:58:49.920
Tad Eggleston: He's had. He gets this spider bite. Peter.

885
00:58:49.920 --> 00:58:50.760
Tyler Johnson: To give.

886
00:58:50.760 --> 00:58:56.560
Tad Eggleston: Oh, so he wasn't bid at all. Okay, okay.

887
00:58:56.560 --> 00:58:57.520
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, yeah, that. And then.

888
00:58:57.520 --> 00:58:58.680
Tad Eggleston: And then this is intriguing.

889
00:58:58.680 --> 00:58:59.130
Tad Eggleston: Yes.

890
00:58:59.130 --> 00:59:01.599
Tad Eggleston: So Tony Stark knows about other universes.

891
00:59:01.600 --> 00:59:03.789
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, we haven't figured out how. Okay.

892
00:59:04.870 --> 00:59:07.920
Tyler Johnson: And then the maker, who we know is Richard.

893
00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:09.340
Tad Eggleston: Richards, yeah.

894
00:59:09.340 --> 00:59:10.190
Tyler Johnson: He's the one behind.

895
00:59:10.670 --> 00:59:11.639
Tad Eggleston: Okay. Yeah.

896
00:59:11.640 --> 00:59:14.789
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, bad guy or good guy, or do we not know yet?

897
00:59:14.790 --> 00:59:15.820
Tyler Johnson: I assume he's back.

898
00:59:15.820 --> 00:59:18.679
Tad Eggleston: But we don't know for sure.

899
00:59:18.680 --> 00:59:19.090
Tyler Johnson: Okay. Good.

900
00:59:19.090 --> 00:59:31.090
Tad Eggleston: Because, like in the original ultimate universe, you know, when we started being called the maker was when he crossed over and became the big bad. I'm intrigued. Yeah, I'm intrigued.

901
00:59:31.720 --> 00:59:34.109
Tyler Johnson: So. So here we come with it's being.

902
00:59:34.110 --> 00:59:42.009
Tad Eggleston: Probably the most surprising thing on any of my lists. My number 2.

903
00:59:42.780 --> 00:59:44.729
Tyler Johnson: Ongoing series of the year.

904
00:59:45.200 --> 00:59:48.740
Tad Eggleston: Is Saga, by Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples.

905
00:59:49.240 --> 00:59:50.070
Tyler Johnson: Oh,

906
00:59:51.720 --> 00:59:52.080
Tyler Johnson: Wow!

907
00:59:52.080 --> 00:59:55.540
Tad Eggleston: Part of it is, I don't think we got it

908
00:59:56.590 --> 01:00:01.619
Tad Eggleston: arc this year, you know. It started late in the year, and they wound up, having a delay.

909
01:00:02.880 --> 01:00:10.220
Tyler Johnson: But it has way more to do with the number one. Saga continues to just be one of the greatest stories.

910
01:00:10.220 --> 01:00:10.570
Tyler Johnson: It's.

911
01:00:10.570 --> 01:00:17.909
Tad Eggleston: Stories ever certainly one of the greatest sci-fi comics ever, you know. I mean, if you go sci-fi comics rather than comics.

912
01:00:17.910 --> 01:00:18.569
Tyler Johnson: In Japanese.

913
01:00:18.570 --> 01:00:24.899
Tad Eggleston: I don't think there's there's even an argument. I can't think of another book that I put up there. Yeah, yeah.

914
01:00:24.900 --> 01:00:26.079
Tyler Johnson: And I really really enjoy.

915
01:00:30.680 --> 01:00:33.840
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, yeah, well, well, and and- and you know.

916
01:00:33.840 --> 01:00:43.710
Tad Eggleston: Know, as heartbreaking as it is dealing with the mental health issues with Squire is something else so like.

917
01:00:43.710 --> 01:00:44.140
Tyler Johnson: And so.

918
01:00:44.140 --> 01:00:46.999
Tad Eggleston: Saga continues to be amazing. Yeah.

919
01:00:47.240 --> 01:00:47.850
Tyler Johnson: It should.

920
01:00:47.850 --> 01:00:48.570
Tad Eggleston: Just wound up.

921
01:00:48.760 --> 01:00:49.910
Tyler Johnson: No, I'm not sure.

922
01:00:49.910 --> 01:00:50.489
Tad Eggleston: You're beating my.

923
01:00:50.490 --> 01:00:52.550
Tyler Johnson: Just not top book.

924
01:00:53.090 --> 01:00:57.499
Tyler Johnson: Minor arcana is my second choice from Jeff Vermeer.

925
01:00:57.500 --> 01:00:59.489
Tad Eggleston: Again, Lemmear coming in at 2.

926
01:00:59.490 --> 01:01:00.490
Tyler Johnson: Good for you. Yeah.

927
01:01:00.490 --> 01:01:02.330
Tad Eggleston: I mean, if there was a mirror at one.

928
01:01:02.330 --> 01:01:05.340
Tyler Johnson: Well, that makes sense for me. But yeah.

929
01:01:05.340 --> 01:01:06.740
Tad Eggleston: It was Nope, Nope.

930
01:01:06.740 --> 01:01:08.850
Tyler Johnson: No Jeff Samir.

931
01:01:08.850 --> 01:01:12.130
Tad Eggleston: This book's great series out, and this looks great.

932
01:01:12.280 --> 01:01:16.580
Tyler Johnson: The fact that he can do this right right? Right? Right? Right? And.

933
01:01:16.871 --> 01:01:19.200
Tad Eggleston: I love it when he's writing and drawing.

934
01:01:19.200 --> 01:01:21.620
Tyler Johnson: Yes.

935
01:01:21.620 --> 01:01:24.370
Tad Eggleston: Like. He probably did a lot of these

936
01:01:24.780 --> 01:01:28.059
Tad Eggleston: because he didn't draw anything, at least publicly.

937
01:01:28.060 --> 01:01:29.829
Tyler Johnson: For a while for a long time.

938
01:01:29.830 --> 01:01:42.371
Tad Eggleston: And then fish flies. And now this. And I want to say that there's mentioned at some point that he's got another volume of royal city, but maybe he got distracted from that. I hope so.

939
01:01:42.930 --> 01:01:44.759
Tad Eggleston: I hope he didn't get distracted from.

940
01:01:44.760 --> 01:01:45.780
Tyler Johnson: No, I hope he's gone.

941
01:01:45.780 --> 01:01:46.400
Tad Eggleston: Right, right.

942
01:01:46.400 --> 01:01:47.969
Tyler Johnson: Hope he's got it coming.

943
01:01:47.970 --> 01:01:48.620
Tad Eggleston: Timing, though.

944
01:01:48.620 --> 01:01:49.140
Tyler Johnson: Same thing.

945
01:01:49.140 --> 01:01:49.530
Tad Eggleston: I hope.

946
01:01:49.530 --> 01:01:49.870
Tyler Johnson: Right.

947
01:01:49.870 --> 01:01:50.230
Tad Eggleston: Right.

948
01:01:50.230 --> 01:01:52.200
Tyler Johnson: I'm sorry. Yeah.

949
01:01:52.200 --> 01:01:53.770
Tad Eggleston: Just wanted to clarify for everyone.

950
01:01:53.770 --> 01:01:54.580
Tyler Johnson: No, I hope.

951
01:01:54.580 --> 01:01:54.910
Tad Eggleston: Hmm.

952
01:01:54.910 --> 01:01:57.140
Tyler Johnson: I hope we get to see it.

953
01:01:57.140 --> 01:02:00.449
Tyler Johnson: So I wonder, during your time doing a lot

954
01:02:00.450 --> 01:02:09.679
Tyler Johnson: lot of writing for other people and not really putting out anything that he drew he was still drawing, which is being able to do at his own pace. And he's now

955
01:02:09.680 --> 01:02:10.160
Tyler Johnson: yeah.

956
01:02:10.160 --> 01:02:11.450
Tad Eggleston: Be able to release.

957
01:02:12.950 --> 01:02:16.530
Tyler Johnson: Because he's also got his memoir coming up soon.

958
01:02:16.530 --> 01:02:23.900
Tad Eggleston: That's gonna be good. Yeah. No. Minor arcana is an amazing book. Another coming of age tale, you know.

959
01:02:24.290 --> 01:02:25.659
Tyler Johnson: Really really coming at him.

960
01:02:25.660 --> 01:02:28.279
Tad Eggleston: Commerce, another place to do great combination.

961
01:02:28.280 --> 01:02:35.129
Tyler Johnson: Tales that aren't actually like coming of age. It's not a teenager becoming an adult. It's like an adult finding themselves. Yeah, yeah.

962
01:02:37.450 --> 01:02:37.890
Tyler Johnson: coming in.

963
01:02:37.890 --> 01:02:40.509
Tad Eggleston: But it acknowledges that, like.

964
01:02:40.510 --> 01:02:40.830
Tyler Johnson: With them.

965
01:02:40.830 --> 01:02:43.410
Tad Eggleston: It doesn't always happen at 15, right? Right?

966
01:02:43.760 --> 01:02:45.940
Tad Eggleston: Sometimes it happens multiple times in your life.

967
01:02:47.940 --> 01:02:53.619
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, it's been great, my number one and I and I teased this earlier.

968
01:02:53.730 --> 01:02:58.299
Tad Eggleston: And and and it's those Trinity stories that push those over the top.

969
01:02:58.860 --> 01:03:04.209
Tad Eggleston: Wonder woman from Tom, King, Danielson, Perry Bellan, Ortega, Kari, Randolph.

970
01:03:04.520 --> 01:03:04.970
Tyler Johnson: And.

971
01:03:04.970 --> 01:03:09.846
Tad Eggleston: Many, many more have contributed in one way or another.

972
01:03:11.580 --> 01:03:26.880
Tad Eggleston: this is the I mean. There was even one week where it and Saga came out in the same week, and it was still the 1st read, this is my 1st read in any week that it comes out. It has not had anything that jumps on top of it. And part of the reason is that.

973
01:03:26.880 --> 01:03:27.240
Tyler Johnson: Hang on!

974
01:03:27.240 --> 01:03:29.709
Tad Eggleston: Wonder woman story is gonna get my heart pounding.

975
01:03:30.340 --> 01:03:35.669
Tyler Johnson: And then the backup story is going to make me laugh out, loud

976
01:03:37.240 --> 01:03:42.659
Tad Eggleston: Except those rare times where the Wonder Woman story makes me laugh, laugh out loud.

977
01:03:42.660 --> 01:03:43.400
Tyler Johnson: Sign on here.

978
01:03:43.400 --> 01:03:44.789
Tad Eggleston: Except it doesn't flip.

979
01:03:44.790 --> 01:03:47.770
Tad Eggleston: They don't. They don't wind up with that backup hard code.

980
01:03:48.530 --> 01:03:54.740
Tad Eggleston: It's just, I mean, like. Often they manage me laugh out loud and and.

981
01:03:54.740 --> 01:03:55.280
Tyler Johnson: Be hard.

982
01:03:55.280 --> 01:03:58.349
Tad Eggleston: Pounding. That was really what a lot of the.

983
01:03:58.990 --> 01:04:11.159
Tad Eggleston: I think there were 2 issues where she was teamed up with Damian Wayne, and like the heart pounding was there, but so was some of the most hilarious back and forth I've ever seen.

984
01:04:11.880 --> 01:04:17.398
Tad Eggleston: you know, when she and Superman went shopping for for her.

985
01:04:18.810 --> 01:04:22.350
Tad Eggleston: Batman's birthday. Oh, my God! Was that issue.

986
01:04:22.350 --> 01:04:23.500
Tyler Johnson: That's hilarious.

987
01:04:24.960 --> 01:04:29.990
Tyler Johnson: That reminds me of the of the baseball right.

988
01:04:29.990 --> 01:04:30.320
Tad Eggleston: -

989
01:04:30.640 --> 01:04:34.419
Tad Eggleston: It is what Tom does.

990
01:04:34.420 --> 01:04:34.770
Tyler Johnson: So.

991
01:04:34.770 --> 01:04:38.340
Tad Eggleston: What he does well in his

992
01:04:38.570 --> 01:04:46.559
Tad Eggleston: miniseries is, take and explore one topic really really in depth. Yep, yep.

993
01:04:47.633 --> 01:04:56.189
Tad Eggleston: sometimes a broad topic. But you know, when he's doing the ongoing like Wonder woman here, like

994
01:04:57.162 --> 01:05:08.039
Tad Eggleston: of everlasting like Batman before, you know, there's this mix of focusing on these important themes, but also.

995
01:05:08.640 --> 01:05:14.330
Tyler Johnson: Throwing in these life happens stories.

996
01:05:14.960 --> 01:05:28.990
Tad Eggleston: You know. Sometimes good life happens, sometimes bad life happens, but like, but like acknowledging that even even when you're focused on this thing, yes, we're working on saving the world. But it's still his birthday. Yeah.

997
01:05:29.580 --> 01:05:31.110
Tad Eggleston: still needs a gift.

998
01:05:31.110 --> 01:05:31.700

Tad Eggleston: And then a year, going over the best of last year pretty easily, because of how many great limited series there are.

1047
01:07:19.370 --> 01:07:26.291
Tad Eggleston: Because of how many great graphic novels there are, which was the second hardest category, and the next one we're going to deal with.

1048

Tyler Johnson: Unsolved mystery box where you got sent.

1052
01:07:50.380 --> 01:07:55.949
Tad Eggleston: Information and clues and whatnot, and could try to work on the mystery.

1053
01:07:56.670 --> 01:08:02.119
Tad Eggleston: And and in this case the the unsolved mystery that the box

1054
01:08:02.960 --> 01:08:08.950
Tad Eggleston: came to to Jill. The main character was like her mother's disappearance, right right.

Tad Eggleston: Oh! Perfect!

1091
01:10:02.310 --> 01:10:06.110
Tyler Johnson: Again, messy. And all those good ways.

1092
01:10:06.110 --> 01:10:06.450
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

1093
01:10:06.450 --> 01:10:08.990

01:10:16.060 --> 01:10:16.709
Tyler Johnson: You need it.

01:10:20.830 --> 01:10:21.220
Tad Eggleston: No.

1101
01:10:21.220 --> 01:10:23.609
Tyler Johnson: I'm going to say to any site sites out there.

1102
01:10:23.610 --> 01:10:26.550
Tad Eggleston: There. I do not recommend that we actually.

1103
01:10:26.550 --> 01:10:32.170
Tyler Johnson: Create real. I feel like it would be a good way.

1104
01:10:32.170 --> 01:10:34.129
Tad Eggleston: Way for a lot of people to.

1105
01:10:34.130 --> 01:10:37.140
Tyler Johnson: Die right, you know. Horrible!

1106
01:10:37.140 --> 01:10:39.980

Tyler Johnson: A movie. Yes, motorcycle.

1111
01:10:48.420 --> 01:10:50.680
Tad Eggleston: Interesting. Those are good things.

1112
01:10:50.680 --> 01:10:51.520
Tyler Johnson: We almost.

1113
01:10:51.520 --> 01:10:55.733
Tad Eggleston: Let's let's let let that one go go.

1114
01:10:56.890 --> 01:10:58.230
Tyler Johnson: That's a little disclaimed.

1115
01:10:58.230 --> 01:10:58.770
Tad Eggleston: Lamer.

1116
01:10:58.770 --> 01:11:00.590
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, let's not actually do it.

1117
01:11:02.410 --> 01:11:03.310
Tyler Johnson: So so good.

1118
01:11:03.320 --> 01:11:06.920
Tad Eggleston: That sounds now. Hounds just knocked it out of the park.

1119
01:11:06.920 --> 01:11:07.250
Tyler Johnson: Well.

1120
01:11:07.250 --> 01:11:13.120
Tad Eggleston: Oh, second, it was plastic.

1121
01:11:13.120 --> 01:11:13.460
Tyler Johnson: Stand!

1122
01:11:13.460 --> 01:11:14.899
Tad Eggleston: And no more.

1123
01:11:15.220 --> 01:11:16.660
Tyler Johnson: From Christville.

1124
01:11:16.660 --> 01:11:18.859
Tad Eggleston: He was trying to steal my buddy. I.

1125
01:11:18.860 --> 01:11:23.630
Tyler Johnson: It was just he's like, no, he didn't give me this list.

1126
01:11:24.460 --> 01:11:27.780
Tyler Johnson: Don't read a lot.

1127
01:11:27.780 --> 01:11:31.890
Tad Eggleston: But when something comes out of the left field.

1128
01:11:31.890 --> 01:11:32.450
Tyler Johnson: Understand.

1129
01:11:32.450 --> 01:11:37.089
Tad Eggleston: And I'm just like, like you know what I mean.

1130
01:11:37.090 --> 01:11:38.940
Tad Eggleston: and then do it like this.

1131
01:11:39.150 --> 01:11:40.479
Tyler Johnson: No, no, he nailed it.

1132
01:11:40.480 --> 01:11:40.800
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

1133
01:11:40.800 --> 01:11:46.759
Tyler Johnson: nailed it. I mean, Alex's. Ours is amazing. Yeah, I like, when plastic man's turning into goo. You're just like.

1134
01:11:47.850 --> 01:11:51.619
Tad Eggleston: No, it's hilarious. I want to say.

1135
01:11:52.700 --> 01:11:53.330
Tyler Johnson: And you know.

1136
01:11:53.330 --> 01:12:00.190
Tad Eggleston: You know so many conversations with Chris that don't necessarily quote me on this, but I want to say that this was initially turned down.

1137
01:12:00.190 --> 01:12:00.630
Tyler Johnson: Oh!

1138
01:12:01.000 --> 01:12:03.799
Tad Eggleston: You know, was one of those that got circled back to.

1139
01:12:03.800 --> 01:12:04.120
Tyler Johnson: Sure.

1140
01:12:04.120 --> 01:12:11.769
Tad Eggleston: Or he tweaked the pitch, or something like that, and it's hard for me to believe that there was any time where somebody looked at this and went.

1141
01:12:12.350 --> 01:12:15.119
Tad Eggleston: No, that's not something we want to do.

1142
01:12:15.120 --> 01:12:15.639
Tyler Johnson: Same way, the.

1143
01:12:17.590 --> 01:12:24.679
Tad Eggleston: Oh, my God, yeah, that was, yeah. Chris does like incidental humor better than anybody.

1144
01:12:25.060 --> 01:12:31.920
Tad Eggleston: I've been rewatching. Halt and catch fire as I go to bake Bedley.

1145
01:12:32.860 --> 01:12:35.340
Tad Eggleston: He has just that that like

1146
01:12:37.380 --> 01:12:45.180
Tad Eggleston: sometimes mean, but most of the time like loving or just don't know better. Yeah.

1147
01:12:46.140 --> 01:12:49.870
Tyler Johnson: Absolutely humorous office patter down.

1148
01:12:51.000 --> 01:12:52.393

Tad Eggleston: Book, great book.

1152
01:12:58.830 --> 01:13:03.320
Tyler Johnson: Tyler Tyler. Tyler's giving you more love than me, Chris. Don't hold it against me.

1153
01:13:03.936 --> 01:13:04.553
Tyler Johnson: No,

1154
01:13:05.170 --> 01:13:08.350
Tad Eggleston: Oh, I I said, presents for the kids.

1155
01:13:08.967 --> 01:13:12.669
Tyler Johnson: That's funny. Alright! What's your name?

Tad Eggleston: Predicted that this would be the topic of the year when issue one came out and.

01:13:21.330 --> 01:13:24.189
Tyler Johnson: And I debated.

1160

Tyler Johnson: I debated so many good books this year, but beyond real exact. Kaplan Tiana Leaf is.

01:13:47.341 --> 01:13:54.268
Tad Eggleston: Keeps in top spot the fact that there were like 7 artists over 5 issues.

01:13:55.120 --> 01:14:06.459
Tad Eggleston: simulation theory inside simulation theory inside simulation theory, exploring both, like

01:14:33.260 --> 01:14:37.369
Tad Eggleston: yeah, another one that I need to go back and reread again. Altogether.

1170

Tad Eggleston: This has been fun.

1181
01:15:03.780 --> 01:15:07.209
Tad Eggleston: Oh, yeah, it's amazing. Yeah, I'm not gonna bash it.

1182
01:15:07.210 --> 01:15:07.960
Tyler Johnson: It's not even.

1183
01:15:07.960 --> 01:15:16.590
Tad Eggleston: I'm happy that I got you back on the wagon, because, like you were more excited about the 1st volume, and then jumped off after the 1st book, and I had to.

1184
01:15:16.590 --> 01:15:16.950
Tyler Johnson: Right.

1185
01:15:16.950 --> 01:15:18.427

Tyler Johnson: So good.

1192
01:15:30.280 --> 01:15:48.780
Tad Eggleston: Is this the entire using using muppets as the oppressed minority, and as Antifa all at once, and not like as actual antifa as the right wing. Fever. Dream version of Antifa.

1193
01:15:48.780 --> 01:15:54.299
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, what you think Antifa is. Yes, totally agree.

1194
01:15:55.230 --> 01:15:55.730
Tyler Johnson: Alright.

1195
01:15:56.433 --> 01:15:59.979
Tyler Johnson: Noticed that like, like, I'm not right.

1196
01:15:59.980 --> 01:16:06.659
Tad Eggleston: Where they actually have militias and trained to do stuff and whatnot in their mind.

1197
01:16:07.350 --> 01:16:12.350
Tad Eggleston: those lefties that they don't like, because they're all about feelings and all about.

1198
01:16:12.650 --> 01:16:16.819
Tad Eggleston: you know, it's okay to be used.

1199
01:16:16.820 --> 01:16:24.620
Tad Eggleston: Agree with, you know. They think you're soft snowflakes and whatnot. But somehow we also I'm hurt

1200
01:16:25.060 --> 01:16:28.340
Tad Eggleston: better at putting together elite.

1201
01:16:28.340 --> 01:16:29.070
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

1202
01:16:29.070 --> 01:16:30.529
Tad Eggleston: Militia groups.

1203
01:16:32.220 --> 01:16:33.273
Tyler Johnson: I agree.

1204
01:16:34.717 --> 01:16:42.169
Tad Eggleston: We can infiltrate their stuff and instigate them to do any.

1205
01:16:42.170 --> 01:16:42.903
Tyler Johnson: I agree.

1206
01:16:43.683 --> 01:16:47.700
Tad Eggleston: That's ridiculous, which is it? Are we? Peace, Nick.

1207
01:16:52.540 --> 01:16:53.490
Tyler Johnson: Who knows?

1208
01:16:54.850 --> 01:16:56.259
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, no, I'm good.

1209
01:16:56.260 --> 01:17:01.700
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, yeah, this is. This is why I don't understand.

1210
01:17:01.700 --> 01:17:02.830
Tyler Johnson: It's a good thing that you.

1211
01:17:02.830 --> 01:17:09.089
Tad Eggleston: The right in general. It's a good thing that you're still recording. Mine stopped. You're stopped.

1212
01:17:09.090 --> 01:17:09.480
Tyler Johnson: 1 h.

1213
01:17:09.480 --> 01:17:12.730
Tad Eggleston: Oh, that's not good so well.

1214
01:17:13.800 --> 01:17:22.419
Tad Eggleston: that's good, I think so pretty certain. Let me check. Let me check cause cause that would be embarrassing.

1215
01:17:22.420 --> 01:17:24.119
Tad Eggleston: This is this is, yeah, yeah.

1216
01:17:24.120 --> 01:17:32.920
Tad Eggleston: being recorded, it's being recorded here. I'll stop my screen share, because because we are still recording.

1217
01:17:32.920 --> 01:17:34.549
Tyler Johnson: I don't know. I might stop.

1218
01:17:34.550 --> 01:17:36.779
Tad Eggleston: I don't know, because it's 1 16.

1219
01:17:36.780 --> 01:17:41.590
Tad Eggleston: Yes, go ahead, anyway. I remember you hitting like a cough button in there somewhere, but.

1220
01:17:41.590 --> 01:17:42.230
Tyler Johnson: I did.

1221
01:17:42.230 --> 01:17:44.940
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, unfortunately, anyway.

1222
01:17:45.480 --> 01:17:47.099
Tyler Johnson: Best, graphic, novel.

1223
01:17:47.100 --> 01:17:47.490
Tad Eggleston: So.

1224
01:17:47.490 --> 01:17:49.740
Tyler Johnson: Of 2024.

1225
01:17:49.740 --> 01:17:50.190
Tad Eggleston: 4.

1226
01:17:50.190 --> 01:17:51.359
Tyler Johnson: This was on camera.

1227
01:17:51.360 --> 01:17:51.830
Tad Eggleston: I agree.

1228
01:17:51.830 --> 01:17:53.100
Tad Eggleston: I read.

1229
01:17:53.100 --> 01:17:58.360
Tyler Johnson: So many, all ages, books at the library.

1230
01:17:58.360 --> 01:17:58.690
Tyler Johnson: Now look.

1231
01:17:58.690 --> 01:18:01.259
Tad Eggleston: A little kid, but yet definitely.

1232
01:18:01.260 --> 01:18:04.049
Tad Eggleston: and I normally need so this category for me.

1233
01:18:04.050 --> 01:18:04.440
Tyler Johnson: So.

1234
01:18:04.440 --> 01:18:05.090
Tad Eggleston: Well.

1235
01:18:08.000 --> 01:18:13.250
Tad Eggleston: Kind of fun. And yet you only wound up with one. Ya in there. Yeah. Yeah.

1236
01:18:13.250 --> 01:18:14.999
Tad Eggleston: But I read a lot lot of them right.

1237
01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:15.690
Tyler Johnson: Right.

1238
01:18:16.050 --> 01:18:17.409
Tad Eggleston: Oh, yeah, I.

1239
01:18:17.410 --> 01:18:17.860
Tyler Johnson: You know.

1240
01:18:17.860 --> 01:18:35.360
Tad Eggleston: I'm always trying to read as many graphic novels as I can. I probably actually read less this year than I do most years, because between the one piece race and the fact that I've actually been somewhat on top of a lot of new comics, I just haven't been able to fit them in.

1241
01:18:35.580 --> 01:18:46.919
Tad Eggleston: We wind up having another really? Well, it's gonna be surprising in one way, and unsurprising in another way for my list. I'm gonna let you go first.st

1242
01:18:46.920 --> 01:18:47.430
Tyler Johnson: Oh, sure!

Tad Eggleston: Baker. This book was so good, and will appear.

1245
01:18:53.530 --> 01:18:54.649
Tyler Johnson: In my list.

1246
01:18:54.650 --> 01:18:54.980
Tyler Johnson: It will.

1247
01:18:54.980 --> 01:19:04.340
Tad Eggleston: It just did not make it for the original graphic. Okay, okay, okay, it will appear because I couldn't not have this book somewhere.

1248
01:19:04.340 --> 01:19:04.860
Tyler Johnson: Sure.

1249
01:19:05.941 --> 01:19:18.920
Tad Eggleston: My favorite thing. I grew up with my mom. And so this.

1250
01:19:18.920 --> 01:19:20.350
Tyler Johnson: Cover for for this right away.

1251
01:19:21.580 --> 01:19:24.039
Tad Eggleston: The pink

1252
01:19:24.040 --> 01:19:33.220
Tad Eggleston: background. I loved the copious footnotes. Yes, yes, I'm a footnote guy. I loved the copious footnotes. Yeah.

1253
01:19:33.430 --> 01:19:45.920
Tad Eggleston: I love the story within a story within a story. Surprisingly, I loved the back and forth between prose and comics. That's that's not something I always

1254
01:19:46.630 --> 01:19:51.349
Tad Eggleston: can handle. It's not something that I'm opposed to. It's just something.

1255
01:19:51.350 --> 01:19:51.910
Tyler Johnson: It was like.

1256
01:19:51.910 --> 01:19:53.060
Tad Eggleston: It's sometimes

1257
01:19:53.310 --> 01:20:00.319
Tad Eggleston: well, mostly just because I have more trouble. Reading pros. At this point I do most of my pros through.

1258
01:20:01.050 --> 01:20:02.400
Tyler Johnson: Audio, book audio.

1259
01:20:02.400 --> 01:20:02.840
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

1260
01:20:02.840 --> 01:20:15.750
Tad Eggleston: right? So it definitely makes a book like this a bigger endeavor for me. It's the only reason why I haven't read it a second time already.

1261
01:20:17.560 --> 01:20:18.650
Tad Eggleston: But yeah.

1262
01:20:18.860 --> 01:20:23.829
Tyler Johnson: It's a little bit more I don't know. Annoying.

1263
01:20:24.470 --> 01:20:28.940
Tad Eggleston: I don't know. It's just I mean to me. It's not annoying. It's just

1264
01:20:30.070 --> 01:20:35.759
Tad Eggleston: this is the place where I try to pick my words really carefully, because there's so many.

1265
01:20:35.880 --> 01:20:40.000
Tad Eggleston: so many connotations that come with various.

1266
01:20:40.430 --> 01:20:45.009
Tyler Johnson: Feeling words. Yeah, you know, annoying generally generally gets.

1267
01:20:45.830 --> 01:21:01.150
Tad Eggleston: Taken as oh, this is a bad feeling bad, you know, so am I kind of annoyed when I get done with a comic part and go into a prose part. Yes, but it's not because that's annoying. I'm annoyed because I don't

1268
01:21:01.550 --> 01:21:13.669
Tad Eggleston: read prose as well as I read comics, not because they did that. So what it is overall for me is, it's just more of a task. Yeah, yeah.

1269
01:21:13.900 --> 01:21:17.929
Tyler Johnson: You know, it's it's it's something that I have to be

1270
01:21:18.180 --> 01:21:31.919
Tyler Johnson: willing to sit down and and interact on a higher level with, not a level that I don't sometimes interact with other comics on as well. But but I'm not required to in the same way, if that makes

1271
01:21:31.920 --> 01:21:32.260
Tyler Johnson: yeah.

1272
01:21:32.260 --> 01:21:32.930
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, all right.

1273
01:21:32.930 --> 01:21:51.920
Tad Eggleston: So my number 3, and it took me way too long to read this. It was on my radar since it came out. I bought it before I met Bianca at Cxc. And still didn't manage to read it until, like Thanksgiving, I think

1274
01:21:52.060 --> 01:21:55.580
Tad Eggleston: the Punk Rock Karaoke from Bianca Zunice.

1275
01:21:55.580 --> 01:21:55.960
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

1276
01:21:55.960 --> 01:22:03.099
Tad Eggleston: Okay, there's gonna be a theme here. It's messy.

1277
01:22:03.760 --> 01:22:05.549
Tyler Johnson: There's relationship drama.

1278
01:22:05.550 --> 01:22:05.880
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

1279
01:22:05.880 --> 01:22:11.169
Tad Eggleston: Inviting oneself drama and family drama and punk rock music, and, like.

1280
01:22:11.900 --> 01:22:12.220
Tyler Johnson: Oh!

1281
01:22:12.220 --> 01:22:14.580
Tad Eggleston: All sorts of just good, good.

1282
01:22:14.580 --> 01:22:14.970
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

1283
01:22:14.970 --> 01:22:15.550
Tad Eggleston: You.

1284
01:22:16.109 --> 01:22:20.070
Tyler Johnson: I mean, I mean, and goodness as in like really.

1285
01:22:20.070 --> 01:22:23.050
Tad Eggleston: Illness and whatnot, because there are definitely some.

1286
01:22:23.680 --> 01:22:28.430
Tyler Johnson: Hard, not so good for the character part, for sure.

1287
01:22:28.880 --> 01:22:32.129
Tad Eggleston: Not just Sunny Punk Rock. The whole hold on.

1288
01:22:32.130 --> 01:22:32.870
Tyler Johnson: No, I just.

1289
01:22:32.870 --> 01:22:36.360
Tad Eggleston: I know, I know, but I mean we're we're.

1290
01:22:36.840 --> 01:22:40.589
Tyler Johnson: We're on audio black guy.

1291
01:22:40.590 --> 01:22:41.829
Tad Eggleston: You could you could.

1292
01:22:41.830 --> 01:22:43.859
Tyler Johnson: You can tell you.

1293
01:22:43.860 --> 01:22:44.570
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

1294
01:22:46.568 --> 01:22:52.390
Tad Eggleston: But yeah, punk rock karaoke from Bianca. Z was just an outstanding book, and like.

1295
01:22:53.550 --> 01:22:54.280
Tyler Johnson: It's a little over.

1296
01:22:55.130 --> 01:22:55.650
Tyler Johnson: Who did.

1297
01:22:55.650 --> 01:23:00.929
Tad Eggleston: Been a dark horse number one in a lot of years, but

1298
01:23:01.880 --> 01:23:11.019
Tad Eggleston: this year had so many heavy hitters that you notice who's not on this list. Who's that? Nate Powell.

1299
01:23:12.320 --> 01:23:13.480
Tyler Johnson: Program and.

1300
01:23:13.480 --> 01:23:15.619
Tad Eggleston: I loved fall through.

1301
01:23:15.620 --> 01:23:18.060
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, we do.

1302
01:23:18.060 --> 01:23:19.560
Tad Eggleston: Do have a nonfiction category.

1303
01:23:19.560 --> 01:23:20.060
Tyler Johnson: No, no.

1304
01:23:20.060 --> 01:23:28.889
Tad Eggleston: So. So you know he's still. He's still in the running for having a book with with lies. My teacher told me.

1305
01:23:29.050 --> 01:23:30.210
Tyler Johnson: But.

1306
01:23:31.200 --> 01:23:32.549
Tad Eggleston: He was a late.

1307
01:23:32.550 --> 01:23:32.950
Tyler Johnson: And she.

1308
01:23:32.950 --> 01:23:33.740
Tad Eggleston: This category.

1309
01:23:33.740 --> 01:23:34.335
Tyler Johnson: Yes.

1310
01:23:35.940 --> 01:23:42.470
Tad Eggleston: Oh, I mean, really, that my top 2 spots were locked. It was just a matter of what order.

1311
01:23:43.960 --> 01:23:48.640
Tad Eggleston: and that 3rd spot I could have put so many things same.

1312
01:23:48.640 --> 01:23:53.179
Tad Eggleston: But when I got done it was. And Karate problem was another one.

1313
01:23:53.180 --> 01:23:55.480
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. My second one is Karate.

1314
01:23:55.910 --> 01:23:58.829
Tyler Johnson: From Kyle starts. I love Kyle Starks. Man.

1315
01:23:58.830 --> 01:24:00.590
Tad Eggleston: And this is hilarious.

1316
01:24:01.575 --> 01:24:04.310
Tyler Johnson: Well, and this one is missing.

1317
01:24:04.310 --> 01:24:05.300
Tad Eggleston: Those good ways.

1318
01:24:05.300 --> 01:24:08.779
Tad Eggleston: Also mostly just funny. Karate. Prom, yeah. Yeah.

1319
01:24:08.920 --> 01:24:11.790
Tyler Johnson: Well, the problem is the messy and all the good ones.

1320
01:24:11.790 --> 01:24:12.230
Tyler Johnson: Yes.

1321
01:24:12.230 --> 01:24:13.630
Tad Eggleston: Mostly just funny. Karate.

1322
01:24:13.630 --> 01:24:17.259
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, had an element of.

1323
01:24:18.310 --> 01:24:27.690
Tad Eggleston: It's it's kind of like 6 sidekicks a trigger if you want it, all the other stuff is there. But if you just want hilarious action, yeah, yeah.

1324
01:24:28.760 --> 01:24:32.559
Tyler Johnson: Don't have to come back and and find the other stuff. Yeah.

1325
01:24:32.930 --> 01:24:33.410
Tad Eggleston: Yep.

1326
01:24:33.410 --> 01:24:36.209
Tyler Johnson: Did you feel like it had an element of like Scott.

1327
01:24:36.210 --> 01:24:39.850
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, yeah, they had some Scott pilgrim, some John John.

1328
01:24:39.850 --> 01:24:40.330
Tad Eggleston: Use.

1329
01:24:41.950 --> 01:24:48.169
Tyler Johnson: You know he used for I mean I literally. I gave this to.

1330
01:24:49.010 --> 01:24:51.400
Tad Eggleston: A friend on his birthday.

1331
01:24:51.610 --> 01:24:53.790
Tyler Johnson: Because he's been having a rough.

1332
01:24:55.060 --> 01:25:08.969
Tad Eggleston: Just a rough and really busy year, some great things this year, but some really really hard things this year, and really almost no time to breathe all year. He's a big comic guy. In fact, he's even

1333
01:25:09.050 --> 01:25:26.179
Tad Eggleston: contributed to this podcast but I knew that this was a book, that he would never, ever, ever buy for himself. But I also knew that it was a change of pace that I thought would be good for him for an hour, and and.

1334
01:25:27.150 --> 01:25:29.160
Tyler Johnson: I was right. Oh, good! They thanked me for it.

1335
01:25:29.646 --> 01:25:30.620
Tyler Johnson: Good, good.

1336
01:25:30.620 --> 01:25:31.613
Tad Eggleston: Of course.

1337
01:25:33.110 --> 01:25:35.939
Tyler Johnson: So let's get to your number 2, because I

1338
01:25:35.940 --> 01:25:41.219
Tyler Johnson: I love this book. I love the 1st one, too, but I can't believe well, I can't.

1339
01:25:41.350 --> 01:25:44.599
Tyler Johnson: But but if you had told me.

1340
01:25:45.850 --> 01:25:50.300
Tad Eggleston: Anytime between 2017 and like

1341
01:25:51.050 --> 01:25:57.760
Tad Eggleston: about a year ago, this wouldn't have been my top book in whatever year it came out.

1342
01:25:59.050 --> 01:26:06.969
Tad Eggleston: I would have laughed so I mean I would have laughed harder than the saga. Yeah. My favorite thing is monsters. Book 2 from Neil Ferris finally came out.

1343
01:26:06.970 --> 01:26:07.420
Tyler Johnson: Oh, good!

1344
01:26:07.420 --> 01:26:14.359
Tad Eggleston: Lived up to every insane expectation I had for it. In fact, it blew them away, in part because.

1345
01:26:15.460 --> 01:26:18.409
Tyler Johnson: Running theme here, messy in all the great ways.

1346
01:26:18.410 --> 01:26:19.329
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, see people.

1347
01:26:19.330 --> 01:26:28.399
Tad Eggleston: Or upset about it at all, or upset about the things that they don't feel like we're tied up. And I'm sitting there going. Yeah. Yeah. But she's still like, 10.

1348
01:26:28.657 --> 01:26:31.840
Tyler Johnson: You don't. You don't tie those things up when you're 10, right.

1349
01:26:33.660 --> 01:26:36.349
Tad Eggleston: I agree, yeah.

1350
01:26:36.350 --> 01:26:42.610
Tyler Johnson: You don't touch it wouldn't actually be appropriate for to be neatly all.

1351
01:26:43.130 --> 01:26:45.969
Tad Eggleston: Tied up in a bow. She's 10. Yep.

1352
01:26:46.160 --> 01:26:51.760
Tyler Johnson: What I love about Emil's approach to comic making is.

1353
01:26:51.760 --> 01:26:54.150
Tad Eggleston: The system's completely unique.

1354
01:26:54.940 --> 01:26:59.100
Tad Eggleston: All point pen on paper.

1355
01:26:59.410 --> 01:27:00.210
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

1356
01:27:00.460 --> 01:27:05.910
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. And and talk. Talk about messy. It's messy physically, too.

1357
01:27:05.910 --> 01:27:07.560
Tyler Johnson: I'm like, but not enough.

1358
01:27:07.560 --> 01:27:07.920
Tad Eggleston: Dairy.

1359
01:27:08.470 --> 01:27:11.330
Tad Eggleston: No, it's it's it's like

1360
01:27:11.880 --> 01:27:16.100
Tad Eggleston: it's it's supposed to be the journal of a Posh's 10 year old, and it

1361
01:27:16.270 --> 01:27:34.740
Tad Eggleston: reads and looks like the tech journal of a precocious 10 year old. Yeah, for sure. And I emphasize precocious because sometimes when they say that there's like, Oh, that art's too good. No, this is this is, this is a 10 year old on the spectrum. This is a 10 year old, that, like.

1362
01:27:39.130 --> 01:27:42.230
Tyler Johnson: Has spent a lot of time honing.

1363
01:27:42.500 --> 01:27:53.170
Tad Eggleston: Her craft, and is talked to like an adult by her brother and her mother and whatnot, and therefore writes about her life more like an adult.

1364
01:27:54.200 --> 01:27:57.009
Tad Eggleston: But but you can also see.

1365
01:27:58.520 --> 01:28:01.939
Tyler Johnson: See? See the places where where she's 10. Yeah, yeah.

1366
01:28:02.550 --> 01:28:10.389
Tad Eggleston: Right, I mean, as as somebody who wasn't precocious artistically at that age. But I've known people who were.

1367
01:28:10.730 --> 01:28:36.550
Tad Eggleston: but I was definitely probably spoke more like that at that age, and wrote more like that at that age than most people do. I found it completely believable that, like she was older than her age in all the ways that you could get from books and trips to the museum, and if anything younger than her age in things that required

1368
01:28:38.140 --> 01:28:43.959
Tad Eggleston: being around people. Yeah, yeah, yes, definitely, definitely. And.

1369
01:28:45.820 --> 01:29:00.369
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. And it's just yeah. It's it's the 2 volumes of this will go down for a long time. They're huge. The greatest comics ever written. You know what I mean.

1370
01:29:00.370 --> 01:29:00.830
Tyler Johnson: Large.

1371
01:29:02.080 --> 01:29:05.109
Tad Eggleston: Them like 800 pages in large format. Yeah, yeah.

1372
01:29:05.110 --> 01:29:07.140
Tyler Johnson: All pages, I mean so.

1373
01:29:07.140 --> 01:29:14.160
Tad Eggleston: So this is. This is an absolute, positive masterpiece. It is.

1374
01:29:14.460 --> 01:29:16.060
Tyler Johnson: All right, my.

1375
01:29:16.060 --> 01:29:17.870
Tad Eggleston: Number one, choice.

1376
01:29:17.970 --> 01:29:20.190
Tyler Johnson: I haven't got it here yet. Meaning.

1377
01:29:20.190 --> 01:29:23.629
Tad Eggleston: I read this because it named. It's.

1378
01:29:23.630 --> 01:29:29.519
Tyler Johnson: Similarly to my in Europe, not similar. It's the same thing, same one same.

1379
01:29:29.520 --> 01:29:29.860
Tad Eggleston: Same name.

01:29:33.953 --> 01:29:37.469
Tad Eggleston: It is just a.

1384
01:29:37.470 --> 01:29:39.779
Tyler Johnson: Really really great. I love artwork. It's like.

1385
01:29:39.780 --> 01:29:40.300
Tad Eggleston: Like.

1386
01:29:40.530 --> 01:29:41.340
Tyler Johnson: Kind of.

1387
01:29:41.340 --> 01:29:41.910
Tad Eggleston: Live.

1388
01:29:42.300 --> 01:29:46.220
Tyler Johnson: Dark, a little out of focus. So.

1389
01:29:46.220 --> 01:29:48.260
Tad Eggleston: You don't know if you're looking like

1390
01:29:49.340 --> 01:29:50.809
Tyler Johnson: Kind of like when you.

1391
01:29:50.810 --> 01:29:51.390
Tad Eggleston: You.

1392
01:29:51.500 --> 01:29:56.170
Tyler Johnson: 3D. Glasses. Not quite right.

1393
01:29:56.500 --> 01:29:57.140
Tad Eggleston: Okay.

1394
01:29:57.565 --> 01:29:57.990
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

1395
01:29:57.990 --> 01:30:01.120
Tad Eggleston: You know, like I said, I definitely need to

1396
01:30:02.980 --> 01:30:05.372
Tad Eggleston: to to get to this.

1397
01:30:06.650 --> 01:30:24.889
Tad Eggleston: it's been on my list forever. And I just I just haven't really. Yeah, my top book of the year, and I am a little upset that I'm not seeing it on as many year end lists, as I think it belongs on.

1398
01:30:24.890 --> 01:30:25.300
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

1399
01:30:25.300 --> 01:30:32.130
Tad Eggleston: I think that has a lot to do with the fact that it is true all ages.

1400
01:30:32.130 --> 01:30:33.830
Tyler Johnson: I did see it when I was.

1401
01:30:33.830 --> 01:30:34.289
Tad Eggleston: It was.

1402
01:30:34.290 --> 01:30:34.950
Tyler Johnson: Googling.

1403
01:30:34.950 --> 01:30:35.290
Tad Eggleston: Link.

1404
01:30:37.170 --> 01:30:38.119
Tyler Johnson: Before I did see it.

1405
01:30:38.120 --> 01:30:53.950
Tad Eggleston: It's on some, and it got a lot of early good press. I'm not saying that it hasn't gotten good press, but I think this is one of those kind of like Jeff Smith. Bowen took a long time to become

1406
01:30:54.500 --> 01:31:00.119
Tad Eggleston: as appreciated as it is now. It's hard to make the All ages, and actually.

1407
01:31:04.350 --> 01:31:06.759
Tyler Johnson: Be as immediately beloved as you should.

1408
01:31:06.760 --> 01:31:11.650
Tad Eggleston: Sure, because it's like the kids critic is going well.

1409
01:31:11.650 --> 01:31:12.300
Tyler Johnson: Oh, man!

1410
01:31:12.300 --> 01:31:20.820
Tad Eggleston: I mean, some of it's going to go over their head. But is it really written for them? And the Ya critic is maybe your best critic.

1411
01:31:20.820 --> 01:31:25.539
Tyler Johnson: And adult critic is like, Oh, well, this should have been harder.

1412
01:31:25.540 --> 01:31:26.120
Tyler Johnson: Whoa! Whoa!

1413
01:31:27.410 --> 01:31:36.779
Tyler Johnson: Feel like Big Jim! And the white boy took a big swing our topic and knocked it out of the park. Yeah.

1414
01:31:36.780 --> 01:31:37.320
Tyler Johnson: okay.

1415
01:31:38.830 --> 01:31:46.810
Tad Eggleston: I mean honestly, I think I think it probably also in terms of Year End lists, particularly the type that

1416
01:31:47.920 --> 01:31:52.330
Tad Eggleston: I mean. I mean, it obviously belongs on the Year End comics list, for sure, but, like.

1417
01:31:52.330 --> 01:31:53.720
Tyler Johnson: Like my favorite thing is.

1418
01:31:53.720 --> 01:32:09.840
Tad Eggleston: Monsters. Volume one. I was expecting this to cross over onto more of just the year end lists, and I think that's 1 of the places we're going up against. James Reversal ever, which is a fantastic prose novel. Yep.

1419
01:32:09.840 --> 01:32:11.970
Tad Eggleston: my might have a

1420
01:32:12.520 --> 01:32:25.490
Tad Eggleston: might have made it a little bit more difficult as well. But I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I think it took more risks than James did, and I think it

1421
01:32:27.230 --> 01:32:33.180
Tad Eggleston: knocked those risks. I think it rose to every challenge it said, set itself.

1422
01:32:33.550 --> 01:32:36.510
Tad Eggleston: This book is is, I mean.

1423
01:32:36.510 --> 01:32:36.830
Tyler Johnson: It's like.

1424
01:32:36.830 --> 01:32:40.580
Tad Eggleston: Those in the dark who haven't been reading. It's a retelling of

1425
01:32:40.740 --> 01:32:47.279
Tad Eggleston: Huckleberry Finn, but Centering Jim as a character, and and taking a wider look.

1426
01:32:48.600 --> 01:32:51.370
Tyler Johnson: Slavery in the Era.

1427
01:32:51.750 --> 01:32:54.020
Tyler Johnson: The Underground Railroad at.

1428
01:32:56.340 --> 01:33:01.289
Tad Eggleston: Being the the human side of.

1429
01:33:01.980 --> 01:33:02.990
Tyler Johnson: Chim.

1430
01:33:03.768 --> 01:33:09.880
Tad Eggleston: I mean. I remember saying to David and Marcus, when they were on that, like

1431
01:33:11.580 --> 01:33:23.129
Tad Eggleston: the question that both they and Percival answered that I was ashamed that I had never asked in all of my readings of Huckleberry Finn is.

1432
01:33:23.240 --> 01:33:27.100
Tad Eggleston: why does Jim care about this white boy? Yeah, yeah.

1433
01:33:28.050 --> 01:33:35.820
Tad Eggleston: once they're clear of Hannibal. Why isn't he off on his own right?

1434
01:33:38.800 --> 01:33:39.419
Tyler Johnson: It's a good question.

1435
01:33:39.420 --> 01:33:40.630
Tad Eggleston: Question. I I

1436
01:33:40.950 --> 01:33:55.970
Tad Eggleston: you know what you know and and like in some ways that's the most part of this idea that this runaway slave who's got his own problems. Yeah, particularly if they get caught.

1437
01:33:56.170 --> 01:33:57.150
Tyler Johnson: Yup! Yup!

1438
01:33:57.310 --> 01:34:02.490
Tad Eggleston: Which is oh, well, I mean, Huck's a good kid. I got my neck out for him.

1439
01:34:04.397 --> 01:34:10.262
Tad Eggleston: I mean, sure. Yeah, I maybe.

1440
01:34:11.240 --> 01:34:12.330
Tyler Johnson: Maybe you know.

1441
01:34:12.330 --> 01:34:13.996
Tad Eggleston: You know what I mean?

1442
01:34:15.580 --> 01:34:23.800
Tad Eggleston: And again, like they both came up with similar answers for this, that, and I, the.

1443
01:34:26.500 --> 01:34:27.130
Tyler Johnson: Walk.

1444
01:34:27.130 --> 01:34:37.009
Tad Eggleston: And Anderson's answer was both, I think, braver and more true. Yeah.

1445
01:34:37.200 --> 01:34:39.770
Tyler Johnson: Braver, because, you know, it's.

1446
01:34:40.030 --> 01:34:47.229
Tad Eggleston: Possibly the darkest thing in an all ages book, true, but it was handled. Well, yeah, yeah.

1447
01:34:47.530 --> 01:34:54.990
Tyler Johnson: And again, that's that's I mean to thread that needle they deal with some dark shit.

1448
01:34:56.780 --> 01:34:57.700
Tyler Johnson: It's hard.

1449
01:34:57.700 --> 01:34:58.540
Tad Eggleston: To.

1450
01:34:59.970 --> 01:35:01.660
Tyler Johnson: It's hard to.

1451
01:35:01.660 --> 01:35:04.670
Tad Eggleston: I mean, I mean, I feel like one of them.

1452
01:35:04.670 --> 01:35:16.829
Tyler Johnson: The reasons it's not on, as many of the is because they managed to do it in such a way that it could be taught in middle school that it could be read to your elementary school kid.

1453
01:35:17.720 --> 01:35:18.320
Tyler Johnson: I know.

1454
01:35:18.320 --> 01:35:19.589
Tad Eggleston: No, yeah, yeah.

1455
01:35:19.780 --> 01:35:38.170
Tad Eggleston: And therefore the people reading it for adults are possibly not seeing exactly how much they dealt with, because they're writing. They're not giving it. The read that it deserves is what. I wonder if they glossed over more of the words in favor of the pictures.

1456
01:35:38.650 --> 01:35:43.960
Tad Eggleston: which is one way to read comics, particularly when you got to read them fast to review. Yep, yep,

1457
01:35:44.480 --> 01:35:45.459
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, yeah.

1458
01:35:45.870 --> 01:36:15.659
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, in a year, where my favorite thing is monsters. Book 2 came out. I didn't actually have to debate at all which one was in my one spot. This one was that good that's awesome. That good Big Jim and the white boy, David F. Walker, Marcus Kwame Anderson at 10 speed press. If you haven't read it, there's something wrong with you. Go out and read it right now, if you read it and are offended. Well, fuck you.

1459
01:36:18.290 --> 01:36:20.490
Tyler Johnson: You're the only one you're the problem.

1460
01:36:20.490 --> 01:36:34.489
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. Yeah. So we're like overtime by a fair amount now. So we should, we should probably get into what we're looking forward to next week.

1461
01:36:35.200 --> 01:36:37.670
Tyler Johnson: There aren't. There aren't many times I know.

1462
01:36:37.670 --> 01:36:38.230
Tad Eggleston: Number 2.

1463
01:36:38.230 --> 01:36:38.830
Tyler Johnson: I know.

1464
01:36:38.830 --> 01:36:39.949
Tad Eggleston: Is not one of.

1465
01:36:45.170 --> 01:36:45.940
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

1466
01:36:45.940 --> 01:36:49.640
Tad Eggleston: Will be on the shelves this week. I'm very much looking forward to it as

1467
01:36:49.640 --> 01:37:01.370
Tad Eggleston: MI. Birds of prey, number 17, Kelly, Thompson, Leonardo Romero, and while X. Factor did not make my best of the year ongoing series List X, factor number 6 is my

1468
01:37:01.880 --> 01:37:03.859
Tad Eggleston: 3rd pick wars this week.

1469
01:37:03.860 --> 01:37:04.370
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, yeah.

1470
01:37:04.370 --> 01:37:17.770
Tad Eggleston: I will say that Sink Number 13 from John Lee's and Alex Cormack hits. I read my Kickstarter readers, and it is fantastic. And enough stores didn't actually get their war on Gaza from Joe Sacco. Last.

1471
01:37:17.770 --> 01:37:18.610
Tad Eggleston: Okay, okay, good.

1472
01:37:18.610 --> 01:37:24.853
Tad Eggleston: Keep it in my book. I know our spectacular Joe Sacco's we're on Gaza.

1473
01:37:26.960 --> 01:37:30.030
Tad Eggleston: Well, I also have 13.

1474
01:37:30.030 --> 01:37:31.280
Tyler Johnson: I have not ready.

1475
01:37:31.620 --> 01:37:37.080
Tad Eggleston: I'm super looking forward to it. I love what's what's going on with story.

1476
01:37:37.080 --> 01:37:39.370
Tyler Johnson: Hello, that they day-day.

1477
01:37:39.370 --> 01:37:39.820
Tad Eggleston: Dude.

1478
01:37:39.820 --> 01:37:40.140
Tyler Johnson: For.

1479
01:37:40.140 --> 01:37:44.579
Tad Eggleston: From the the wolf, not wolf

1480
01:37:44.580 --> 01:37:48.350
Tad Eggleston: mask for a little bit, and then.

1481
01:37:48.350 --> 01:37:49.679
Tyler Johnson: I got it I got it.

1482
01:37:49.680 --> 01:37:51.910
Tyler Johnson: See what's happening in Brian.

1483
01:37:52.370 --> 01:37:55.010
Tyler Johnson: And then this new series coming.

1484
01:37:55.010 --> 01:37:57.429
Tad Eggleston: When I lay my vengeance upon thee.

1485
01:37:57.430 --> 01:38:05.011
Tyler Johnson: Number one look interesting. It does look interesting. Interesting.

1486
01:38:06.740 --> 01:38:14.600
Tad Eggleston: I don't know if it looks fresh and new enough that I'm gonna be all over. Does that make sense? I mean it's it.

1487
01:38:14.910 --> 01:38:25.984
Tad Eggleston: There's certain stories that I think it told not necessarily a lot, but often. And I feel like this one falls into to that category. Sure.

1488
01:38:27.580 --> 01:38:34.630
Tad Eggleston: And that doesn't actually mean that it's not worth doing. Because, like a, it's everybody's first.st

1489
01:38:35.140 --> 01:38:37.599
Tyler Johnson: Somebody's first.st Yep, yep.

1490
01:38:38.580 --> 01:38:46.300
Tyler Johnson: experience with that sort of story, and even when it's not, there are times where you go. I mean, this is what I thought.

1491
01:38:46.300 --> 01:38:46.720
Tyler Johnson: I think I.

1492
01:38:46.720 --> 01:38:49.214
Tad Eggleston: I even said something similar about

1493
01:38:50.050 --> 01:38:55.329
Tyler Johnson: What's what's the Jerry Duggan? Gary? Gary.

1494
01:38:58.740 --> 01:38:59.440
Tyler Johnson: yeah. Yeah.

1495
01:38:59.440 --> 01:39:02.435
Tad Eggleston: Jerry Duggan. Gary! I forget the last name.

1496
01:39:07.350 --> 01:39:07.730
Tyler Johnson: Oh, boy!

1497
01:39:07.730 --> 01:39:08.870
Tad Eggleston: Falling in love.

1498
01:39:09.490 --> 01:39:12.850
Tyler Johnson: At the on the path to hell!

1499
01:39:12.850 --> 01:39:13.800
Tad Eggleston: Yes.

1500
01:39:14.370 --> 01:39:17.329
Tyler Johnson: That's on the road that's.

1501
01:39:17.330 --> 01:39:18.510
Tad Eggleston: That sounds right

1502
01:39:22.390 --> 01:39:37.764
Tad Eggleston: falling in love on the path to hell. Yeah, okay, that was one that I said similar things about. And I've just been like Gary Brown is the artist. I've just been blown away by that book.

1503
01:39:38.380 --> 01:39:42.600
Tad Eggleston: so not not ruling it out at all, you know.

1504
01:39:43.460 --> 01:39:48.590
Tyler Johnson: Well, I would probably give it a read, if it's good.

1505
01:39:48.590 --> 01:39:49.990
Tad Eggleston: But it'll end up in our.

1506
01:39:49.990 --> 01:39:52.979
Tad Eggleston: It's not like there's 8 1.

1507
01:39:52.980 --> 01:39:53.840
Tyler Johnson: No, there's no.

1508
01:39:53.840 --> 01:40:11.130
Tad Eggleston: New books, and oh, look at that! I have the text on it. Father Barrera is a disgraced priest, haunted by his part in the tragic death of a child as penance he is exiled to a remote South American town of Puerto Cristina, to apprentice under the enigmatic Father Stygian

1509
01:40:11.500 --> 01:40:33.240
Tad Eggleston: controversial exorcist exorcists are normally trained in the Vatican, but Stygian has his own way of handling demons. Methods that predate even the Church. Unfortunately for Barrera, Stygian's last apprentices committed suicide not long ago. So I mean, just from there. It's like, Okay, we're going to punish you by sending you off to this maverick.

1510
01:40:36.320 --> 01:40:36.950
Tyler Johnson: I get it.

1511
01:40:36.950 --> 01:40:41.400
Tad Eggleston: It, and it would probably be fantastic. It just doesn't feel.

1512
01:40:42.150 --> 01:40:42.449
Tyler Johnson: Right.

1513
01:40:42.450 --> 01:40:47.300
Tad Eggleston: Fresh fresh to me. Yeah, yeah. So it's great

1514
01:40:47.300 --> 01:41:17.189
Tad Eggleston: creators, too, which can be a great thing, and it can be a not so great thing, so we'll see. We'll see. You know, Gus Moreno, it says his debut novel. This thing between us was awarded the best book of 2021. By Npr, so it's got some writing shops. It'll be. I'm curious. That's where I'm at. I'm curious. It wasn't like the automatic pick. But it's yeah.

1515
01:41:18.950 --> 01:41:29.179
Tad Eggleston: Between this having been Christmas week and next week, being New Year's Day. Understandably, there just aren't a lot of releases this week. So in that sense, it's almost like a

1516
01:41:29.500 --> 01:41:42.149
Tad Eggleston: remember. Zach Kaplan told us that he actually preferred to have his book come out in a heavy week because there were more people in the store. This is like the reverse strategy.

1517
01:41:43.021 --> 01:41:44.979
Tyler Johnson: Wednesday. Warriors are more likely.

1518
01:41:45.370 --> 01:41:52.469
Tad Eggleston: Up just because they go. Oh, my God, I've only got 3 comics this week. Is there anything new and interesting?

1519
01:41:55.110 --> 01:42:01.590
Tad Eggleston: But I feel like it's gonna be a lighter week at the comic store because saga week.

1520
01:42:01.590 --> 01:42:02.325
Tyler Johnson: So.

1521
01:42:03.843 --> 01:42:05.409
Tad Eggleston: At least.

1522
01:42:05.410 --> 01:42:06.499
Tyler Johnson: One of the major, heavy.

1523
01:42:06.500 --> 01:42:07.510
Tad Eggleston: The hitters.

1524
01:42:07.915 --> 01:42:09.129
Tyler Johnson: And see this.

1525
01:42:09.130 --> 01:42:15.709
Tad Eggleston: Be perfect marketing. Saga is out this week, but no batman book.

1526
01:42:15.750 --> 01:42:16.820
Tyler Johnson: That's true.

1527
01:42:16.820 --> 01:42:17.710
Tyler Johnson: That's true.

1528
01:42:17.710 --> 01:42:27.029
Tad Eggleston: Is it? Actually no batman book batman, 156 yeah. Miles. Morales, spider-man, you know, it's a light.

1529
01:42:27.230 --> 01:42:31.090
Tyler Johnson: So cool, all right. Well, this as far as.

1530
01:42:31.090 --> 01:42:35.009
Tad Eggleston: It was you had to live so far from each other.

1531
01:42:35.010 --> 01:42:36.499
Tad Eggleston: Do this or something.

1532
01:42:36.500 --> 01:42:39.009
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, you're gonna take us out.

1533
01:42:39.010 --> 01:42:43.609
Tyler Johnson: Yeah to our listeners out there. We'll catch you guys after the next page.

1534
01:42:43.610 --> 01:42:44.120
Tad Eggleston: Huge.

1535
01:42:44.290 --> 01:42:45.340
Tyler Johnson: Later, later.
