00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:15.239
Tyler Johnson: Hey, everyone welcome back to 22 panels. This is the podcast that aims to examine, explore, and of course, elevate the medium of comics. I am Tyler, and across the interwebs

2
00:00:15.610 --> 00:00:23.490
Tyler Johnson: from me is my good Buddy Tad. What you guys at home can't see is that I actually do the I'm the the flipper, right?

3
00:00:23.490 --> 00:00:29.030
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, he does. The web hands when he's whipping.

4
00:00:29.360 --> 00:00:29.940
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

5
00:00:29.940 --> 00:00:33.370
Tyler Johnson: I'm actually doing the hand motions that Spidey does.

6
00:00:33.370 --> 00:00:37.789
Tad Eggleston: One day we'll do a live show, and people will be able to see it.

7
00:00:38.350 --> 00:00:40.650
Tad Eggleston: Not yet not yet.

8
00:00:40.980 --> 00:00:48.070
Tyler Johnson: No, no, we we've only done oh, 500 episodes so far. What we should. We should wait till we.

9
00:00:48.070 --> 00:00:53.630
Tad Eggleston: And only one of them is up on the Internet. And that's because the guest posted it.

10
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.379
Tad Eggleston: But one video is up on the Internet. It's because the guest posted it.

11
00:00:58.850 --> 00:00:59.720
Tyler Johnson: That's funny.

12
00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:00.570
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

13
00:01:01.330 --> 00:01:04.580
Tyler Johnson: Okay, so what's going on in the world.

14
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:10.539
Tad Eggleston: I mean the beat put out there some more year-end lists and their creator

15
00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:14.640
Tad Eggleston: so the beat and and

16
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:29.919
Tad Eggleston: he should probably also say, Comics Journal, I think, has their list going. Comics Journal. Does their list really weird. They essentially like, let everybody involved give a list. But it's not. There are no rules.

17
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:30.240
Tyler Johnson: You know.

18
00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:33.920
Tad Eggleston: Some might like 3. Some people might give 30.

19
00:01:35.970 --> 00:01:38.129
Tad Eggleston: Put them all together in in one.

20
00:01:39.350 --> 00:01:41.970
Tad Eggleston: But it's definitely another way to

21
00:01:42.710 --> 00:01:53.770
Tad Eggleston: find good stuff. But but one of the cool things from the beat is that their their Creator survey also has things that creators are

22
00:01:54.140 --> 00:01:57.700
Tad Eggleston: looking forward to in the coming

23
00:01:59.450 --> 00:02:02.310
Tad Eggleston: so so those are. Those are funds to.

24
00:02:02.660 --> 00:02:04.769
Tad Eggleston: Those are fun to go through.

25
00:02:07.930 --> 00:02:09.379
Tad Eggleston: The the Cnn.

26
00:02:09.389 --> 00:02:15.699
Tyler Johnson: Check out. Yeah, I'm looking at it right now. The Bt annual Creator survey.

27
00:02:16.660 --> 00:02:21.850
Tad Eggleston: So cool, but otherwise not a ton of comic news

28
00:02:22.220 --> 00:02:33.790
Tad Eggleston: in in the world, though it didn't come easy slightly easier than it came for Mike Mccarthy or Kevin Mccarthy.

29
00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:36.479
Tad Eggleston: or or it came

30
00:02:36.910 --> 00:02:42.409
Tad Eggleston: the last time around when they were selecting a speaker where they went through what 3 people before they settled on

31
00:02:42.630 --> 00:02:44.470
Tad Eggleston: Mike Johnson. Yeah.

32
00:02:44.470 --> 00:02:45.010
Tyler Johnson: Yes.

33
00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:47.550
Tad Eggleston: Like Johnson is the speaker again?

34
00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:49.860
Tad Eggleston: Yup, he is.

35
00:02:49.860 --> 00:02:52.809
Tad Eggleston: It took some closed store meetings to make it happen.

36
00:02:55.060 --> 00:03:02.821
Tad Eggleston: One of one of the the coolest things I saw on Blue Sky was was somebody putting up the

37
00:03:04.750 --> 00:03:12.330
Tad Eggleston: The vote was at 2 14 for Jeffries, 2 10 for fur

38
00:03:12.490 --> 00:03:18.619
Tad Eggleston: Johnson and 3 having called themselves present and and

39
00:03:20.160 --> 00:03:27.040
Tad Eggleston: somebody in in mock of of the way the way the

40
00:03:28.020 --> 00:03:33.490
Tad Eggleston: crazy people like to do it on election night, said, Stop the counting now.

41
00:03:38.820 --> 00:03:49.030
Tad Eggleston: Oh, so you know. Yeah, in that vein, however, Nate Powell put up, I think, a very important

42
00:03:49.900 --> 00:03:59.140
Tad Eggleston: reminder and message today on Instagram some panels from lias. My teacher told me.

43
00:04:01.070 --> 00:04:09.929
Tad Eggleston: But what he said was, if you have kids in your life tomorrow, you have a duty to talk to them at their level of understanding about the events of January 6, th 2021,

44
00:04:10.100 --> 00:04:20.980
Tad Eggleston: remember, and rely on your own experiences, watching, live in real time, on camera, and in subsequent hearings, investigations, interviews, and journalisms.

45
00:04:21.290 --> 00:04:24.989
Tad Eggleston: This was a violent, coordinated, preplanned attack.

46
00:04:25.150 --> 00:04:32.519
Tad Eggleston: an attempt to permanently end an democracy by overthrowing the Us. Government and its electoral process.

47
00:04:32.690 --> 00:04:41.129
Tad Eggleston: If you do not do this, or if you do not understand why it's so important for young people to know now we are not on the same side.

48
00:04:41.790 --> 00:04:51.959
Tad Eggleston: Tomorrow will be a new stage in a very dangerous and disorienting war on shared collective memory, national memory, and the very concept of historical truth.

49
00:04:54.290 --> 00:04:54.880
Tyler Johnson: Wow!

50
00:04:55.780 --> 00:04:56.100
Tad Eggleston: Which.

51
00:04:56.100 --> 00:04:58.029
Tyler Johnson: That's powerful, you know.

52
00:04:58.690 --> 00:05:01.530
Tad Eggleston: It does well part of what he

53
00:05:02.530 --> 00:05:15.570
Tad Eggleston: you know, part part part of what he showed in the that

54
00:05:16.260 --> 00:05:30.109
Tad Eggleston: the panels from from lies, my teacher told me, which anybody who hasn't read it go out and pick it up. The graphic novel in particular is it's got the violent subversion of democracy, 1965, and John Lewis getting clubbed over the head.

55
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:37.909
Tad Eggleston: You know, for holding a march to to try to allow people to vote.

56
00:05:38.030 --> 00:05:48.340
Tad Eggleston: and beneath it violent subversion of democracy, with people with American flags and nooses and bricks and Confederate flags and trump flags and

57
00:05:48.490 --> 00:05:52.879
Tad Eggleston: gadsden flags and cameras taking selfies and

58
00:05:53.730 --> 00:05:55.669
Tad Eggleston: beating their way into the Capitol Bill.

59
00:05:56.770 --> 00:05:58.599
Tad Eggleston: Well, they weren't tourists.

60
00:05:59.460 --> 00:06:05.970
Tad Eggleston: They weren't out of control, and it certainly wasn't Antifa or or FBI plants.

61
00:06:07.620 --> 00:06:11.750
Tyler Johnson: No oof.

62
00:06:11.750 --> 00:06:16.630
Tad Eggleston: If if you believe all of that, and you want to elect these people anyway.

63
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:17.580
Tad Eggleston: Wine.

64
00:06:19.510 --> 00:06:30.250
Tad Eggleston: I don't agree with you. I'm going to show the top of my lungs, but like to sugarcoat it because you want your tax breaks to sugarcoat it because

65
00:06:30.820 --> 00:06:35.140
Tad Eggleston: you don't like brown people to sugarcoat it because

66
00:06:36.070 --> 00:06:41.080
Tad Eggleston: you don't want to have to have an uncomfortable conversation with your kids.

67
00:06:42.790 --> 00:06:43.850
Tad Eggleston: It's just bullshit.

68
00:06:44.492 --> 00:06:46.419
Tyler Johnson: Agreed, 100%.

69
00:06:48.280 --> 00:06:51.250
Tad Eggleston: I mean honestly, it should be

70
00:06:52.840 --> 00:06:58.409
Tad Eggleston: memorial services every year for 9 11. We should be having memorial services every year for this.

71
00:06:59.330 --> 00:07:00.640
Tyler Johnson: This is as.

72
00:07:01.380 --> 00:07:06.360
Tad Eggleston: Less people died, thank God!

73
00:07:07.710 --> 00:07:16.530
Tad Eggleston: But but in terms of the attack on the Us.

74
00:07:18.380 --> 00:07:19.600
Tad Eggleston: Experiment.

75
00:07:20.450 --> 00:07:21.230
Tyler Johnson: Right.

76
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:23.080
Tad Eggleston: Vision way of life.

77
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:33.279
Tad Eggleston: This and Oklahoma City are every bit as big as 9 11. Unfortunately they were. They were perpetrated by white Americans, so we don't like to talk about them.

78
00:07:38.280 --> 00:07:44.089
Tad Eggleston: He here endeth the the the soapbox history lesson.

79
00:07:44.490 --> 00:07:45.510
Tyler Johnson: Right.

80
00:07:47.580 --> 00:07:47.990
Tad Eggleston: Huh!

81
00:07:47.990 --> 00:07:51.319
Tyler Johnson: No, I feel you. Tomorrow's gonna be a tough day, you know.

82
00:07:51.760 --> 00:07:52.320
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

83
00:07:52.320 --> 00:07:54.560
Tyler Johnson: But we'll get through it.

84
00:07:54.860 --> 00:07:58.439
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I got an Institute day.

85
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.039
Tyler Johnson: So anyway.

86
00:08:03.270 --> 00:08:05.920
Tad Eggleston: Let's talk some more. The order stuff.

97
00:08:34.850 --> 00:08:35.270
Tad Eggleston: It's.

98
00:08:35.270 --> 00:08:43.190
Tyler Johnson: But as the as the Connell family reels from the shattering events of adventure, man gospel lights, how about.

Tad Eggleston: Here's what he's from rural. He's from rural

109
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.609
Tyler Johnson: We never learned to read, read the.

110
00:09:33.610 --> 00:09:35.480
Tad Eggleston: Got books there.

111
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:52.849
Tyler Johnson: We just got reading. No. So what? I'm sure Ted's sharing his screen. I'm reading what he's sharing, and my eyesight is going on the wrong side of my bifocals, and so it's getting screwed up in. So I just got to adjust my face a little differently.

112
00:09:53.400 --> 00:09:54.390
Tyler Johnson: Alright.

113
00:09:54.770 --> 00:09:57.650
Tad Eggleston: Well, DC. Gave you a much shorter one to read.

119
00:10:33.970 --> 00:10:36.870
Tyler Johnson: - yeah, I remember that. I actually.

120
00:10:36.870 --> 00:10:38.990
Tad Eggleston: Have you ever heard Jim Lee talk about that.

121
00:10:39.330 --> 00:10:42.840
Tyler Johnson: No, but I like what he did with the bat costume. I know a lot of.

122
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:46.100
Tad Eggleston: See what he, what he says about that is, when he did it.

123
00:10:46.350 --> 00:10:46.730
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

124
00:10:46.730 --> 00:10:48.530
Tad Eggleston: Went. I don't. He's

125
00:10:48.800 --> 00:10:54.599
Tad Eggleston: he's a superhero he's got. Why is everybody drama he's got to have boots on? Not

126
00:10:55.270 --> 00:10:59.880
Tad Eggleston: he's like by the end of the 3rd issue I knew, why, yeah, it's tough.

127
00:10:59.880 --> 00:11:00.230
Tyler Johnson: Draw.

128
00:11:02.150 --> 00:11:08.479
Tyler Johnson: Yup! You gotta draw all those treads. Oh, man, now I guess.

129
00:11:08.931 --> 00:11:27.459
Tad Eggleston: Free for all from Patrick Horvath at Oni press from Iser Award, nominated writer, artist, Patrick Horvath, beneath the trees, where nobody sees comes a 56 page, self-contained, one shot that delivers a brutal new vision of capitalism by combat

130
00:11:28.310 --> 00:11:45.000
Tad Eggleston: in the future. The World Finance League exists to benefit all randomly choosing those from among the billionaires and trillionaires of the world, and presenting them with a choice, either donate half their assets to the common good, or defend them in ritual combat.

131
00:11:45.000 --> 00:12:09.069
Tad Eggleston: reigning champion and real estate magnate, Ted Brooks, has 22 victories under his belt, defending the wealth he schemed and stabbed to get when he is forced to face his ex-wife, Luella Dominguez, in a fight to the death. Luella has been training waiting for this moment, but will she have what it takes to defeat the man who would do anything, absolutely anything to keep his fortune.

132
00:12:09.650 --> 00:12:24.970
Tad Eggleston: It's every shareholder for themselves when death and bankruptcy collide in free-for-all number One, a giant-sized, one-shot spectacle of commerce and carnage coming this march from Eisner warden armor to cartoonist Patrick Horbauth.

133
00:12:25.620 --> 00:12:26.869
Tyler Johnson: Wait. I love.

134
00:12:27.110 --> 00:12:27.920
Tad Eggleston: Text.

135
00:12:28.420 --> 00:12:38.030
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, sorry. I just. I love Patrick horvath Horvath after his beneath the trees. So I am ready for his next next thing.

136
00:12:39.736 --> 00:12:42.019
Tad Eggleston: Funny and gross in a different way.

137
00:12:43.040 --> 00:12:49.410
Tad Eggleston: From Joanne Starr, and friends of the Podcast Ted Roe and Ted Brandt and Roe Stein,

138
00:12:51.830 --> 00:13:20.720
Tad Eggleston: Harley Quinn, farttacular, silent, but deadly, one shot calling, all Sickos! This one's for you. I've been holding in all my very worst bits of bubble guts for the last 32 years, and it's all been leading up to this epic expulsion. Your nose will never be the same. You'll gag, you'll cry, you'll feel things ain't never felt before. This fine publication is a celebration of all things past precinct and tuture.

139
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:39.010
Tad Eggleston: Sequential. Art's place in the annals of history is about to change. With the release of the Harley Quinn, farttacular, silent, but deadly, a comic that promises to have the highest concentration of gas per page ever committed to print

140
00:13:39.370 --> 00:13:52.719
Tad Eggleston: emphasis on committed because everyone who worked on this comic is getting thrown into Dr. Fartley's home for no good gassy gals and guys read the comic that Abraham Lincoln called a joy from fart to finish

141
00:13:53.180 --> 00:13:56.789
Tad Eggleston: moments before he died. Warning. We aren't.

142

Tad Eggleston: The circus thing right now.

336
00:38:04.970 --> 00:38:05.670

00:38:31.090 --> 00:38:46.769
Tad Eggleston: Person, you know. It's it's it's funny, and it's it's heartwarming. And it's like badass women.

352
00:38:59.230 --> 00:39:06.910
Tad Eggleston: So yeah, it was. It was. It was just fun. I finally caught up on Chip Zdarsky's batman run and and.

353
00:39:09.560 --> 00:39:14.020
Tad Eggleston: I kind of felt like he was in the weeds a little bit with the

354
00:39:15.070 --> 00:39:19.095
Tad Eggleston: with the batman, observe, and our yeah

355
00:39:20.670 --> 00:39:25.685
Tad Eggleston: before the the joker year one. And that's why I'd fallen so far behind. But

356
00:39:26.190 --> 00:39:30.670
Tad Eggleston: I really like what he's done over the last like 6 or 7 issues.

357
00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:36.659
Tad Eggleston: Oh, okay, and have high hopes that he'll he'll wrap it up neatly to hand off to

358
00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:38.710
Tad Eggleston: Jeff Loeb and Jim Lee.

359
00:39:39.160 --> 00:39:47.732
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. And that's where it's so funny we talk. You're you said you're gonna finish out, Chip Sadarsky. And then Jeff Loeb is where I'm jumping on

360
00:39:48.050 --> 00:39:54.940
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I'm certain I'll read it, but I'll probably read it as it popped. I mean, I've got the.

361
00:39:55.950 --> 00:40:05.520
Tad Eggleston: I've got the the DC. Unlimited ultra subscription. So I get books. DC. Books like, a week later.

362
00:40:06.150 --> 00:40:08.899
Tyler Johnson: Oh, okay, that's pretty. That's pretty decent.

363
00:40:08.900 --> 00:40:22.630
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I won't necessarily have read it in time to talk about it as one of my amazing books of the week, but I imagine I'll somewhat keep up on it. I just I don't feel

364
00:40:25.490 --> 00:40:29.690
Tad Eggleston: don't feel a desperate urge to own the single issues.

365
00:40:32.470 --> 00:40:39.210
Tad Eggleston: You know. I mean the the batman. Single issues that I've collected religiously were the Tom King.

366
00:40:39.380 --> 00:40:44.773
Tad Eggleston: and then the Chip Zdarsky, you know.

367
00:40:46.070 --> 00:40:52.619
Tad Eggleston: I'll do some miniseries right now. I'm doing both the Batman and Robin year one and the last Halloween miniseries.

368
00:40:52.620 --> 00:40:56.270
Tyler Johnson: Right same, I'm really loving both of those.

369
00:40:57.020 --> 00:40:57.550
Tad Eggleston: But.

370
00:40:57.550 --> 00:41:05.059
Tyler Johnson: I I really like the batman. Oh, God, it's coming out next week. Issue 2.

371
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:09.890
Tad Eggleston: Oh, the dark, the the dark dark.

372
00:41:09.890 --> 00:41:10.910
Tyler Johnson: Patterns.

373
00:41:10.910 --> 00:41:11.650
Tad Eggleston: Dark. Patterns. Yeah.

374
00:41:11.650 --> 00:41:14.560
Tyler Johnson: Okay, yeah, issue, one was really good.

375
00:41:14.870 --> 00:41:15.290
Tad Eggleston: Yep.

376
00:41:15.720 --> 00:41:18.110
Tad Eggleston: Yep, so.

377
00:41:18.110 --> 00:41:19.390
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, cool.

378
00:41:19.390 --> 00:41:21.918
Tad Eggleston: And it was also a light week.

379
00:41:22.600 --> 00:41:23.719
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. I'm very late.

380
00:41:24.720 --> 00:41:28.392
Tad Eggleston: No, no daredevil or x factor could have eked in.

381
00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:32.779
Tad Eggleston: when I lay my vengeance upon the.

382
00:41:33.320 --> 00:41:34.010
Tyler Johnson: -

383
00:41:34.660 --> 00:41:37.150
Tad Eggleston: I think I could wind up liking it with issue 2.

384
00:41:37.630 --> 00:41:40.030
Tyler Johnson: Do you? I just read it.

385
00:41:40.270 --> 00:41:42.209
Tyler Johnson: and it didn't catch me like I.

386
00:41:42.210 --> 00:41:46.969
Tad Eggleston: It has, hoping it has it, didn't. It didn't come out and grab me.

387
00:41:47.780 --> 00:41:53.170
Tad Eggleston: but it feels like there might be something smoldering.

388
00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:57.159
Tyler Johnson: Okay, I mean, I know I had it on my books. I hope we're gonna be spectacular.

389
00:41:57.160 --> 00:41:57.599
Tad Eggleston: I did, too.

390
00:41:58.919 --> 00:42:01.559
Tyler Johnson: And you know but

391
00:42:02.710 --> 00:42:08.949
Tad Eggleston: I didn't dislike it. There were certainly some things that I was intrigued by. I will definitely read issue 2.

392
00:42:11.220 --> 00:42:13.230
Tad Eggleston: But yeah, it didn't didn't.

393
00:42:14.470 --> 00:42:40.450
Tad Eggleston: So far. It's where where I said it was last week, or where I predicted would be last week, which is a really solid good story, that if it's if this is like your jam, you're going to like it, and if it's not your jam, and you haven't read a ton of them, you'll like it, and if it's not your jam, and you have read a lot of good ones, you'll go. I know what's going on here. It's pretty good.

394
00:42:41.045 --> 00:42:43.780
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, but I've got a stack.

395
00:42:44.780 --> 00:42:45.430
Tyler Johnson: It's.

396
00:42:45.430 --> 00:42:49.950
Tad Eggleston: It's kind of how it's feeling to me. But there was. There were a couple of

397
00:42:50.200 --> 00:43:02.330
Tad Eggleston: couple of twists that really made me curious to see where issue 2 will go.

398
00:43:02.930 --> 00:43:08.289
Tyler Johnson: Okay, yeah, I probably will read it. I probably.

399
00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:12.310
Tad Eggleston: I mean, it's 1 of those places where I'm glad

400
00:43:13.300 --> 00:43:17.349
Tad Eggleston: that comics generally get at least a miniseries.

401
00:43:17.750 --> 00:43:18.229
Tyler Johnson: Oh, yeah.

402
00:43:18.230 --> 00:43:24.350
Tad Eggleston: Was like to give you a movie example.

403
00:43:27.240 --> 00:43:27.920
Tad Eggleston: I

404
00:43:29.300 --> 00:43:34.920
Tad Eggleston: I didn't think the the Ben Affleck daredevil movie was particularly good.

405
00:43:35.410 --> 00:43:40.499
Tad Eggleston: but I thought it ended in a really good place, and I was excited for the sequel

406
00:43:40.720 --> 00:43:44.150
Tad Eggleston: that never came because it wasn't particularly good.

407
00:43:46.170 --> 00:43:51.280
Tad Eggleston: I thought the Han, the young Han solo movie was actually pretty good.

408
00:43:51.736 --> 00:43:53.040
Tad Eggleston: And I was definitely.

409
00:43:53.040 --> 00:43:53.800
Tyler Johnson: But.

410
00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:56.069
Tad Eggleston: Really excited to see where it was going to go.

411
00:43:56.070 --> 00:43:59.420
Tyler Johnson: Same I to see more.

412
00:43:59.420 --> 00:44:06.000
Tad Eggleston: Didn't get a lot of of box office love.

413
00:44:07.040 --> 00:44:10.869
Tad Eggleston: and as a result we didn't get to find out where it would go.

414
00:44:11.700 --> 00:44:12.390
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

415
00:44:12.701 --> 00:44:17.990
Tad Eggleston: I'm kind of hoping that that comics or novels will pick up that thread at some point.

416
00:44:18.100 --> 00:44:26.659
Tad Eggleston: because because and they have a little bit, because we got to see the the Kira and the red sun.

417
00:44:27.520 --> 00:44:33.489
Tad Eggleston: and, like the between Empire and Jedi period.

418
00:44:33.970 --> 00:44:34.690
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

419
00:44:34.850 --> 00:44:35.370
Tad Eggleston: From Charles.

420
00:44:35.370 --> 00:44:39.590
Tyler Johnson: Are you a are you a fan of the Star Wars? Novels.

421
00:44:41.590 --> 00:44:58.530
Tyler Johnson: Because the the jet, the the Han solo trilogy from I think it's from the nineties that was so good when I read that, and what I saw in the solo movie. So much of it came from those books, and I was hoping to see more of it with this trilogy.

422
00:44:58.530 --> 00:44:59.130
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

423
00:45:00.790 --> 00:45:11.059
Tad Eggleston: I was a fan of a lot of the legends, theories, the legends. I'm a fan of a lot of the legends, novels, a fan of what

424
00:45:12.240 --> 00:45:15.089
Tad Eggleston: current novels I've read. I haven't read as many of them.

425
00:45:15.540 --> 00:45:18.309
Tyler Johnson: No, not. I haven't read any current ones. Honestly.

426
00:45:18.310 --> 00:45:20.149
Tad Eggleston: I've read a few of them, and I've liked them a lot.

427
00:45:20.870 --> 00:45:21.550
Tyler Johnson: Oh, my God!

428
00:45:21.550 --> 00:45:27.170

Tyler Johnson: Room.

430
00:45:27.870 --> 00:45:34.480
Tad Eggleston: That's a good place to leave it. So where are we? In one piece? You caught up to where I was last week, and I read another volume.

431
00:45:35.030 --> 00:45:35.350
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

00:45:35.660 --> 00:45:37.519
Tad Eggleston: I'm still still lapping you.

433
00:45:37.520 --> 00:45:48.990
Tyler Johnson: I have. I have a question. When we finish our list for 2024. When we finish that episode, how do you feel about the next one

434
00:45:49.250 --> 00:45:54.810
Tyler Johnson: being just a one piece reading week.

435
00:45:55.110 --> 00:45:59.649
Tyler Johnson: cause I need to. I need to do some major catching up with one piece.

436
00:46:01.630 --> 00:46:02.010
Tad Eggleston: Down.

437
00:46:02.010 --> 00:46:03.630
Tyler Johnson: Dedicated some time for it.

00:46:03.860 --> 00:46:04.830
Tad Eggleston: I'm down.

439
00:46:05.660 --> 00:46:07.360
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. And that way, if we don't have.

440
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:11.679
Tad Eggleston: I can. I can. We can. We can do some one piece focus.

441
00:46:11.910 --> 00:46:12.570
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

442
00:46:13.810 --> 00:46:14.350
Tad Eggleston: For real.

443
00:46:14.350 --> 00:46:14.700
Tyler Johnson: Why?

444
00:46:14.700 --> 00:46:15.460
Tad Eggleston: No.

445
00:46:15.830 --> 00:46:16.210
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

446
00:46:18.590 --> 00:46:24.490
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, BA-BA-BA man, I'm getting tired, so we should we should talk about.

447
00:46:24.490 --> 00:46:28.600
Tyler Johnson: So in one piece, I'm at chapter 346.

448
00:46:29.123 --> 00:46:32.090
Tad Eggleston: And you were at 3, 57, 3, 57.

449

Tyler Johnson: So

450
00:46:32.950 --> 00:46:44.899
Tyler Johnson: yeah, we're not far apart. I've been really enjoying what's going on here like, right? These these dudes in the in the masks. Do you mean? You know what I mean about the the mask guys and where I'm at?

451
00:46:45.170 --> 00:46:45.730
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

452
00:46:46.128 --> 00:46:52.460
Tad Eggleston: See, I just got you've seen the mayor and the attempted assassination.

453
00:46:52.460 --> 00:46:53.070
Tyler Johnson: Yup!

454
00:46:53.750 --> 00:47:00.770
Tad Eggleston: The next volume is pretty much all in the past.

455
00:47:01.680 --> 00:47:02.080
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

456
00:47:02.080 --> 00:47:10.360
Tad Eggleston: And kind of shows you how

457
00:47:10.860 --> 00:47:16.949
Tad Eggleston: that city and that group of people came to be who they are, etc. Sure.

458
00:47:17.930 --> 00:47:22.110
Tad Eggleston: So yeah, it was. It's it's cool, and it's got.

459
00:47:22.110 --> 00:47:22.610
Tad Eggleston: Can't wait.

460
00:47:22.610 --> 00:47:23.790
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, like, I said.

461
00:47:23.790 --> 00:47:26.630
Tyler Johnson: And I really want to dedicate time to.

462
00:47:26.950 --> 00:47:32.739
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, we might even spend a couple weeks with it and and decide on a couple of themes to explore.

463
00:47:32.990 --> 00:47:34.260
Tyler Johnson: Sure that'd be great.

464
00:47:34.260 --> 00:47:36.030
Tad Eggleston: More depths. We'll figure that out.

465
00:47:36.560 --> 00:47:40.640
Tyler Johnson: All right. Well, our great responsibility for today.

466
00:47:40.640 --> 00:47:44.000
Tad Eggleston: 2 of our best, of 2024.

467
00:47:44.450 --> 00:47:46.509
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, this, 1st category.

468
00:47:46.510 --> 00:47:52.029
Tad Eggleston: Oh, I I like your number 3. I didn't think of that. That's a good one.

469
00:47:52.510 --> 00:48:03.319
Tyler Johnson: Well, your 3, your 1st 2. I would have totally put on my list. But I thought we need. We need some more variety. Right. You're already covering them. I can pick some other ones

470
00:48:03.710 --> 00:48:04.310
Tyler Johnson: fair enough.

471
00:48:04.310 --> 00:48:07.080
Tyler Johnson: So so let's start with your number 3.

472
00:48:07.653 --> 00:48:18.656
Tad Eggleston: My number 3, and I'm shocked that it fell to 3. It's a sign of like how good everything else was this year. Because I love this series so much. Yeah,

473
00:48:20.370 --> 00:48:28.020
Tad Eggleston: our Artemis Pyramus and lovy in man's best.

474
00:48:29.520 --> 00:48:33.110
Tad Eggleston: or I'm sorry, Athos Porthos and and Lovy.

475
00:48:33.570 --> 00:48:33.960
Tyler Johnson: Yes.

476
00:48:35.470 --> 00:48:38.929
Tad Eggleston: Athos Porthos, said Lovey, and in man's.

477
00:48:38.930 --> 00:48:40.450
Tyler Johnson: Right. It's almost. It's.

478
00:48:40.450 --> 00:48:42.979
Tad Eggleston: And Jesse Lonergan.

479
00:48:42.980 --> 00:48:46.120
Tyler Johnson: I was, gonna say, 3 amigos, but it's almost the 3 Musketeers.

480
00:48:46.120 --> 00:48:52.350
Tad Eggleston: It was almost 3 musketeers, except that the Pug was just. He was a lovey, she couldn't help herself.

481
00:48:52.610 --> 00:48:53.130
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

482
00:48:53.130 --> 00:48:53.550
Tad Eggleston: Yep.

483
00:48:54.270 --> 00:48:56.229
Tad Eggleston: Porthos and Levy.

484
00:48:56.230 --> 00:48:58.710
Tyler Johnson: I had a dog named D'artagnan when I was young.

485
00:48:58.710 --> 00:48:59.280
Tad Eggleston: You.

486
00:48:59.530 --> 00:49:00.020
Tyler Johnson: Yes.

487
00:49:00.020 --> 00:49:05.419
Tad Eggleston: It. Could. It could have been part of this group. It could have gone to space. If only you'd known.

488
00:49:05.420 --> 00:49:06.440
Tyler Johnson: If only.

489
00:49:06.440 --> 00:49:11.420
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, no, I love Jesse Lonergan's art. I love porn. Sec. Show day's writing.

490
00:49:12.011 --> 00:49:14.480
Tad Eggleston: This was just this was amazing.

491
00:49:16.810 --> 00:49:20.720
Tad Eggleston: How about your number 3? Which again, you know, I.

492
00:49:20.720 --> 00:49:24.089
Tyler Johnson: Put this at Number 3 only because it was a 1 issue. So.

493
00:49:24.090 --> 00:49:27.350
Tad Eggleston: Well, you know, she had a whole 3rd season, too.

494
00:49:27.570 --> 00:49:31.249
Tad Eggleston: I know, so I mean there was more. It's Jeff this year, but.

495
00:49:31.250 --> 00:49:41.899
Tyler Johnson: Was, but this was this was venom war. It's Jeff. And I picked this over over the other. It's Jeff stuff. This is from Kelly Thompson and Gurry Hero

496
00:49:42.326 --> 00:50:05.170
Tyler Johnson: from Marvel, and I picked this over the other stuff because it was a time when they included Jeff in what was going on in the larger marvel universe with the venom war. And and I thought that was really cool, and it was one of only 2 venom war books I picked up for that whole thing. So I I kind of felt like including it was important.

497
00:50:05.170 --> 00:50:12.590
Tad Eggleston: It was good. I reread it today just because I came across it putting comics away, and stopped and read it.

498
00:50:13.580 --> 00:50:16.139
Tyler Johnson: Before or after you saw. I put it on the list.

499
00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:20.779
Tad Eggleston: I saw you put out on the list when I commented that you put it on the list.

500
00:50:21.220 --> 00:50:22.160
Tyler Johnson: Okay. Okay.

501
00:50:22.160 --> 00:50:25.100
Tad Eggleston: I saw on air that you'd put it on the list.

502
00:50:25.100 --> 00:50:28.029
Tyler Johnson: Wow. So you just came across today. And yeah, it's a good idea.

503
00:50:28.030 --> 00:50:29.359
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

504
00:50:29.360 --> 00:50:30.100
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

505
00:50:30.490 --> 00:50:31.080
Tad Eggleston: So.

506
00:50:31.080 --> 00:50:31.610
Tyler Johnson: All right.

507
00:50:31.610 --> 00:50:32.280
Tad Eggleston: My, my.

508
00:50:32.280 --> 00:50:32.959
Tyler Johnson: You're number 2.

509
00:50:32.960 --> 00:50:39.989
Tad Eggleston: And you know again, if you told me at the beginning of the year when I started reading this, that it would only come. I mean.

510
00:50:40.110 --> 00:50:55.889
Tad Eggleston: I said it multiple times this year, or at the beginning of the year, that my top 3 were going to be beyond real animal pound and man's best. And we had to create another category. Animals are humans, too, to be able to make that even close to true.

511
00:50:56.030 --> 00:51:03.730
Tad Eggleston: That's how many good comics there were this year, because I still stand by what I said at the beginning of the year. I just

512
00:51:04.150 --> 00:51:07.060
Tad Eggleston: had to finagle it a little bit.

513
00:51:07.460 --> 00:51:08.345
Tyler Johnson: Right

514
00:51:09.835 --> 00:51:17.299
Tad Eggleston: Animal hound from Tom King and Peter Gross was. This also could have gone into the way too. Real category. Yeah.

515
00:51:19.930 --> 00:51:20.650
Tyler Johnson: For sure.

516
00:51:20.650 --> 00:51:23.069
Tad Eggleston: It was just yeah.

517
00:51:23.070 --> 00:51:33.649
Tyler Johnson: My my number 2. Teenage mutant ninja turtles. Specifically, this is the Jason Aaron run that just started, and Cliff Chang from Idw.

518
00:51:35.090 --> 00:51:38.039
Tad Eggleston: We were like 4 different artists for the 1st 4 issues, weren't there.

519
00:51:38.450 --> 00:51:42.012
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is

520
00:51:42.710 --> 00:51:45.800
Tad Eggleston: Even just the just. The Donatello issue.

521
00:51:46.290 --> 00:51:49.820
Tyler Johnson: Is he? Oh, I.

522
00:51:49.820 --> 00:51:53.559
Tad Eggleston: Taking over for issue 5.

523
00:51:55.790 --> 00:51:57.880
Tyler Johnson: Casey Jones is issue 5.

524
00:51:58.810 --> 00:52:04.559
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. But I think whoever's taking over art on issue 5 is like the.

525
00:52:05.390 --> 00:52:06.720
Tyler Johnson: The guy, the guy.

526
00:52:06.720 --> 00:52:09.649
Tad Eggleston: The artist going forward for a while.

527
00:52:10.250 --> 00:52:11.120
Tyler Johnson: Okay. Whereas the.

528
00:52:11.120 --> 00:52:12.950
Tad Eggleston: 1st 4 were.

529
00:52:13.440 --> 00:52:31.109
Tyler Johnson: Anyway, Jason Aaron is taking control of teenage mutant ninja turtles, and it is pretty cool so far. I mean, we don't really know what's happening. All of the turtles have have been separated. They're coming back together. We're we're talking to Case, or we're seeing Casey Jones in issue 5.

530
00:52:31.110 --> 00:52:34.200
Tad Eggleston: Oh, maybe not. Derek Robertson's got number 5.

531
00:52:34.200 --> 00:52:35.120
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

532
00:52:35.350 --> 00:52:38.979
Tad Eggleston: He's taking over for, and then it's 1.

533
00:52:39.560 --> 00:52:41.570
Tyler Johnson: One ray way over.

534
00:52:42.460 --> 00:52:50.710
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah, he's the one that. So it's 6 1 for Raya will take.

535
00:52:50.710 --> 00:52:51.030
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

536
00:52:51.120 --> 00:52:54.230
Tad Eggleston: With, issue 6, and be the ongoing artist.

537
00:52:54.480 --> 00:52:55.860
Tyler Johnson: Okay, cool.

538
00:52:57.170 --> 00:52:58.190
Tyler Johnson: Well, but that.

539
00:52:58.190 --> 00:53:02.130
Tad Eggleston: That was something that was cool, too, that they they started with.

540
00:53:02.700 --> 00:53:07.269
Tad Eggleston: you know, issue one. It was Joelle Jones.

541
00:53:08.819 --> 00:53:12.420
Tad Eggleston: for for Raphael. Issue 2.

542
00:53:14.450 --> 00:53:18.729
Tad Eggleston: It was Raphael Albuquerque. No, it was Raphael.

543
00:53:18.730 --> 00:53:19.810
Tyler Johnson: Oh, it was Raphael.

544
00:53:20.410 --> 00:53:23.410
Tad Eggleston: Wow for Michelangelo.

545
00:53:23.930 --> 00:53:34.440
Tad Eggleston: Issue 3. It was Cliff Chiang for Leonardo, and then issue 4.

546
00:53:34.840 --> 00:53:36.880
Tad Eggleston: Chris Burnham did donate.

547
00:53:36.880 --> 00:53:38.780
Tyler Johnson: Oh, okay.

548
00:53:39.100 --> 00:53:39.750
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

549
00:53:41.600 --> 00:53:48.039
Tad Eggleston: so and that again, that was kind of cool to have, like as they're bringing the turtles back together.

550
00:53:48.410 --> 00:53:51.309
Tyler Johnson: To have the different artists, for each

551
00:53:51.940 --> 00:54:03.540
Tyler Johnson: totally gives you a different feel for each, each comic book right, and it gives each each turtle their own feel. And vibe. And right, yeah, it was a really cool idea.

552
00:54:05.225 --> 00:54:06.440
Tyler Johnson: Only.

553
00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:09.270
Tad Eggleston: My number one with abyss.

554
00:54:09.270 --> 00:54:10.400
Tyler Johnson: This, or.

555
00:54:10.400 --> 00:54:13.729
Tad Eggleston: Or rather a chainsaw or or chainsaw this year, would have

556
00:54:13.730 --> 00:54:19.940
Tad Eggleston: saw what's the little circular hand? Saw that she uses.

557
00:54:19.960 --> 00:54:22.090
Tyler Johnson: I don't know what it's called, but it's.

558
00:54:22.090 --> 00:54:32.410
Tad Eggleston: Beneath the trees where nobody sees from Patrick Horvath, the the Berenstein bears serial killer book that you didn't know you needed.

559
00:54:32.580 --> 00:54:33.410
Tyler Johnson: Right.

560
00:54:34.210 --> 00:54:37.179
Tyler Johnson: Oh, it was so good!

561
00:54:37.180 --> 00:54:38.749
Tyler Johnson: Oh, it's so good!

562
00:54:38.980 --> 00:54:48.239
Tyler Johnson: Can't wait for his next book my number one in animals are humans, too, is Farrell from Tony Fleeks and Trish Forsner from Image.

563
00:54:49.200 --> 00:54:51.910
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, it was so good. I was really enjoying stuff.

564
00:54:52.430 --> 00:54:55.990
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. Oh, man, we got 2 more categories to get through.

565
00:54:56.140 --> 00:54:57.230
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah.

566
00:54:57.230 --> 00:54:57.600
Tyler Johnson: And.

567
00:54:57.600 --> 00:55:02.067
Tad Eggleston: I'm gonna let you read. I'm gonna let you lead off the

568
00:55:02.590 --> 00:55:08.899
Tad Eggleston: way, too real. If only because I didn't manage to read this one, but I wanted to, because I love Dash Shaw.

569
00:55:09.540 --> 00:55:15.811
Tyler Johnson: So. Yeah, I just read it. Got it for my birthday.

570
00:55:16.370 --> 00:55:20.300
Tyler Johnson: This is under way, too. Real. Dash! This is blurry.

571
00:55:20.799 --> 00:55:24.209
Tyler Johnson: Hold on! I had some notes here. I'm gonna pull up.

572
00:55:26.350 --> 00:55:27.919
Tyler Johnson: What the heck did I do with them?

573
00:55:30.470 --> 00:55:31.950
Tyler Johnson: Only because

574
00:55:32.930 --> 00:55:37.819
Tyler Johnson: It has been a while, but if you haven't read Blurry.

575
00:55:38.100 --> 00:55:42.830
Tyler Johnson: give it a whirl. It's really shoot. Excuse me.

576
00:55:43.120 --> 00:55:45.570
Tad Eggleston: Like, I said. I'm a fan of dash. Shaw.

577
00:55:45.820 --> 00:55:52.276
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, and I had never. I had never seen Dash Shah before, right? But

578
00:55:55.030 --> 00:55:56.750
Tyler Johnson: I'd never seen any of.

579
00:55:56.750 --> 00:56:01.150
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I've read. I've read bottomless belly button and new school bean.

580
00:56:01.150 --> 00:56:01.780
Tad Eggleston: Jen

581
00:56:03.490 --> 00:56:13.250
Tyler Johnson: So this, this really asks the question about decisions that we have to make every day right. A man can't decide between

582
00:56:13.380 --> 00:56:15.719
Tyler Johnson: this and that right. And he

583
00:56:16.550 --> 00:56:26.950
Tyler Johnson: it's just really cool. I mean you as somebody who struggles like with me. I struggle a lot what I think with people, with what I think people think of me.

584
00:56:27.130 --> 00:56:34.360
Tyler Johnson: and it just made me kind of reflect on my own life, a lot about like

585
00:56:35.660 --> 00:56:38.309
Tyler Johnson: the decisions I make and why I make them.

586
00:56:39.930 --> 00:56:41.030
Tyler Johnson: You know what I mean.

587
00:56:41.390 --> 00:56:43.660
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I totally get it.

588
00:56:43.660 --> 00:56:47.490
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, what about you? What's your number 3?

589
00:56:47.700 --> 00:56:57.639
Tad Eggleston: My number 3 was, you know, and I think it only is this low because it's only 3 issues in. But I have the utmost

590
00:56:58.270 --> 00:57:08.610
Tad Eggleston: utmost belief that it will continue to be real, and all the most

591
00:57:11.010 --> 00:57:20.449
Tad Eggleston: horrible but enlightening ways. I don't even know how to put it. Spencer, Ackerman and Julius Otis run on, Iron Man.

592
00:57:20.660 --> 00:57:28.319
Tad Eggleston: She's been a great superhero comic, but like an even an even better take on

593
00:57:28.980 --> 00:57:31.480
Tad Eggleston: capitalism and the security State.

594
00:57:31.730 --> 00:57:32.090
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

595
00:57:32.090 --> 00:57:38.780
Tad Eggleston: Particularly as Tony solves the big, huge problem

596
00:57:40.420 --> 00:57:44.309
Tad Eggleston: as Tony rather than as iron man in issue 3. Yeah.

597
00:57:45.123 --> 00:57:54.139
Tad Eggleston: it's Tony, the businessman that manages to to to beat the other bad businessman rather than

598
00:57:54.300 --> 00:57:58.840
Tad Eggleston: then Ironman, beating the the devil spawn.

599
00:58:00.310 --> 00:58:03.139
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, it's been so good

600
00:58:04.580 --> 00:58:09.640
Tad Eggleston: and will likely wind up on next year's lists as well.

601
00:58:09.970 --> 00:58:18.510
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, I am catching up right now. I just read issue one on Marvel Unlimited. Recently.

602
00:58:18.510 --> 00:58:18.990
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

603
00:58:18.990 --> 00:58:19.400
Tyler Johnson: Believe.

604
00:58:19.400 --> 00:58:21.010
Tad Eggleston: That's so good.

605
00:58:21.420 --> 00:58:21.775
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

606
00:58:22.930 --> 00:58:52.540
Tyler Johnson: all right. My number 2. Blue Book. You know what I could have included any of the Blue Books, but from 2024 we had Blue Book, 1947 from James Tanyon 4, th and Michael Avon oming from Dark Horse. This really was funny, because I saw a couple weeks ago, Tad, you remember when all these objects started appearing in the sky out.

607
00:58:52.540 --> 00:58:53.360
Tad Eggleston: In New Jersey.

608
00:58:53.360 --> 00:58:54.629
Tyler Johnson: New Jersey. Right?

609
00:58:54.630 --> 00:58:55.200
Tad Eggleston: No, no.

610
00:58:55.200 --> 00:58:57.019
Tyler Johnson: Right, and my daughter.

611
00:58:57.020 --> 00:58:58.050
Tad Eggleston: Coming to New Jersey.

612
00:58:58.050 --> 00:59:18.560
Tyler Johnson: Aliens are coming, and my my daughter and I are watching this, and she's like, Do people really think it's aliens? And I said, some people probably do, and she's like, what do you think? And I said, I have no idea what it is. That's what I think. At the time when we were watching it. And it reminds me of this kind of stuff of blue Book of 1947.

613
00:59:18.670 --> 00:59:19.390
Tyler Johnson: yeah.

614
00:59:21.510 --> 00:59:28.950
Tad Eggleston: My number 2 was, red Light, another another dark

615
00:59:30.210 --> 00:59:34.949
Tad Eggleston: capitalism tale. You know where essentially you have

616
00:59:38.460 --> 00:59:42.189
Tad Eggleston: people so rich they think they can have anything they want, and and.

617
00:59:43.940 --> 00:59:51.539
Tad Eggleston: The people who just want to be free enough to to live on their own terms.

618
00:59:52.580 --> 00:59:59.950
Tyler Johnson: It's true, I mean, in the United States, anyway. We've just saw billionaires buying a government and.

619
01:00:01.350 --> 01:00:09.770
Tad Eggleston: Well, and you know your basic, your basic red light is, you know.

620
01:00:12.830 --> 01:00:15.330
Tad Eggleston: she's a a.

621
01:00:16.270 --> 01:00:22.479
Tad Eggleston: The main characters are are, you know, full AI and.

622
01:00:22.480 --> 01:00:24.310
Tyler Johnson: Ladies. Yeah, there.

623
01:00:24.310 --> 01:00:30.790
Tad Eggleston: They're they're viewed as property. But but they wanted them to be

624
01:00:35.080 --> 01:00:43.779
Tad Eggleston: intelligent and able to have conversations, and you know they they programmed them to be so much more than just sex toys.

625
01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:47.910
Tad Eggleston: but then wanted to be able to use them just as sex toys.

626
01:00:49.380 --> 01:00:50.210
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

627
01:00:51.080 --> 01:00:51.660
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

628
01:00:52.650 --> 01:00:57.810
Tyler Johnson: I don't think that's gonna work out. I haven't read it, but I'm I know about it.

629
01:00:57.960 --> 01:01:00.857
Tad Eggleston: I mean that there there were some similarities

630
01:01:01.740 --> 01:01:04.570
Tad Eggleston: or some similar concepts in a

631
01:01:04.820 --> 01:01:07.880
Tad Eggleston: one hand and 6 fingers that that could also

632
01:01:08.570 --> 01:01:14.139
Tad Eggleston: popped on this, not not so much for the story itself, but for the world that it was set in

633
01:01:14.970 --> 01:01:15.970
Tad Eggleston: right.

634
01:01:17.610 --> 01:01:20.109
Tad Eggleston: So your number one.

635
01:01:20.110 --> 01:01:28.890
Tyler Johnson: All right. My my number one under way, too real, was Survival Street, the Radical left from James way, too real.

636
01:01:28.890 --> 01:01:31.723
Tad Eggleston: Is puppets with grenade launchers.

637
01:01:32.290 --> 01:01:45.590
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, yeah, I mean, we don't know what's coming. These puppets, those antifa puppets. No? Well, this idea that the the right think that's what we are, I mean. And I say we, because.

638
01:01:45.590 --> 01:01:46.020
Tad Eggleston: Well.

639
01:01:46.020 --> 01:01:49.120
Tyler Johnson: And you're myself. It's me because it's when they are.

640
01:01:49.500 --> 01:01:50.180
Tad Eggleston: It's projected.

641
01:01:50.180 --> 01:01:51.010
Tyler Johnson: Right.

642
01:01:51.590 --> 01:01:52.360
Tad Eggleston: It's either

643
01:01:52.360 --> 01:01:58.769
Tad Eggleston: they are or what they want to be. I mean, this goes back to how you view January 6, th like

644
01:02:01.200 --> 01:02:10.059
Tad Eggleston: they want to be able to take over the government they feel like they they should need should need to. The only reason they call January 6th

645
01:02:11.570 --> 01:02:14.930
Tad Eggleston: just tourists, or whatever is because they failed.

646
01:02:16.900 --> 01:02:20.170
Tad Eggleston: Right. They don't call it that like

647
01:02:21.630 --> 01:02:27.750
Tad Eggleston: to each other to each other. They try to learn the lessons, so they don't fail again, but.

648
01:02:28.500 --> 01:02:34.870
Tyler Johnson: Had they succeeded, it would have been a revolution. Right? And what?

649
01:02:35.180 --> 01:02:38.020
Tyler Johnson: Right? Right? Yeah.

650
01:02:38.440 --> 01:02:46.509
Tad Eggleston: Right and my number one way too real in part, just because of the the premise and the world

651
01:02:47.940 --> 01:02:53.520
Tad Eggleston: that was in it. Mark Russell and Roberta Millis traveling to Mars.

652
01:02:54.620 --> 01:03:13.560
Tad Eggleston: where, of course, we finally go to Mars because there are supposedly minerals there. So corporations race to put together a rocket to get to Mars so that they can plant their flag and claim mineral rights, and to hell with whether or not the person can come back or live long other than planting mineral rights. And

653
01:03:14.840 --> 01:03:17.360
Tad Eggleston: Earth is going to hell because

654
01:03:17.880 --> 01:03:20.579
Tad Eggleston: we're running out of minerals and and.

655
01:03:24.530 --> 01:03:25.410
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

656
01:03:26.030 --> 01:03:26.829
Tad Eggleston: And then it all.

657
01:03:26.830 --> 01:03:27.150
Tyler Johnson: I.

658
01:03:27.150 --> 01:03:33.919
Tad Eggleston: Out to be a parable for what happens when you abandon your AI.

659
01:03:37.080 --> 01:03:38.990
Tyler Johnson: That is, that's pretty accurate.

660
01:03:40.040 --> 01:03:45.089
Tad Eggleston: So, yeah, how about heroes? Don't have to come from the big 2.

661
01:03:45.670 --> 01:03:48.409
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, this was superheroes from.

662
01:03:48.780 --> 01:03:51.560
Tad Eggleston: Oh, yeah, he forgets Santos sisters.

663
01:03:51.960 --> 01:03:56.287
Tyler Johnson: I don't know but issues. A few issues came out this year.

664
01:03:56.620 --> 01:04:03.989
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, no, no like I see it on your list. And I'm like, man. I was having a little bit of trouble with this, even though I didn't.

665
01:04:03.990 --> 01:04:04.640
Tyler Johnson: So was I.

666
01:04:04.640 --> 01:04:09.789
Tad Eggleston: I had like 3 or 4 when I suggested the category, and then I forgot what those were.

667
01:04:10.430 --> 01:04:11.540
Tyler Johnson: That's because.

668
01:04:11.540 --> 01:04:14.609
Tad Eggleston: Forgot Black Hammer, and I forgot Santo sisters.

669
01:04:15.110 --> 01:04:28.120
Tyler Johnson: I didn't want to copy you at all. And then I saw local man was the only other one that I could think of, and it that I read, and I was like it was so good. So our number 3 collectively, Tad Knife number 3 is local man from Tim Healy in.

670
01:04:28.120 --> 01:04:29.419
Tyler Johnson: See the Tony flakes.

671
01:04:29.830 --> 01:04:30.340
Tyler Johnson: Yeah.

672
01:04:30.340 --> 01:04:31.000
Tad Eggleston: Stuff.

673
01:04:31.400 --> 01:04:37.670
Tad Eggleston: I hope that their jump to 25 doesn't mean that they're done done that. It's just a

674
01:04:37.870 --> 01:04:43.689
Tad Eggleston: a here's a little bit of an ending while we go on hiatus because we got stuff going on

675
01:04:46.510 --> 01:04:58.190
Tad Eggleston: and they'll either come back to to fill in what? 13 to 25 or 13 to 24. Something like that, yeah, or they'll come back and take it from 26 on

676
01:05:00.760 --> 01:05:01.260
Tyler Johnson: What?

677
01:05:01.260 --> 01:05:05.870
Tyler Johnson: That would be interesting, because then, like down the road, when they could come back and fill those in.

678
01:05:05.870 --> 01:05:07.070
Tad Eggleston: Right, right.

679
01:05:07.070 --> 01:05:07.589
Tyler Johnson: That's an interesting.

680
01:05:07.590 --> 01:05:16.920
Tad Eggleston: So I'm curious as to what, if anything happens with the Gap? But the story itself was really cool. The whole idea of doing the flip book with the

681
01:05:17.840 --> 01:05:31.250
Tad Eggleston: the 90 S. Style hero book, with the the 2,000 style image like but.

682
01:05:31.250 --> 01:05:33.260
Tyler Johnson: Did feel like a nineties image book.

683
01:05:34.760 --> 01:05:40.469
Tad Eggleston: Nineties, image book for the superhero team, and and 2 thousands image like

684
01:05:41.090 --> 01:05:46.369
Tad Eggleston: like walking dead revival type, moody image for the

685
01:05:47.200 --> 01:05:51.420
Tad Eggleston: for the the local man part rather than.

686
01:05:52.650 --> 01:05:53.380
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

687
01:05:53.380 --> 01:05:58.150
Tyler Johnson: No my number 2.

688
01:05:58.150 --> 01:06:00.050
Tad Eggleston: A couple where, but it's been good.

689
01:06:00.050 --> 01:06:10.050
Tyler Johnson: I, yeah. Black hammer spiral city from Jeff Lemire and Teddy Christensen. I included this one as a superhero book, and I know we haven't really seen any superheroes.

690
01:06:10.220 --> 01:06:10.570
Tad Eggleston: That's right.

691
01:06:10.570 --> 01:06:12.070
Tyler Johnson: Actor, you know. Yeah, he.

692
01:06:12.930 --> 01:06:21.100
Tyler Johnson: Director Insector is like a he's a superhero, wannabe, you know what I mean. He's like he want. He wants to be real.

693
01:06:21.100 --> 01:06:22.739
Tad Eggleston: So it belongs there.

694
01:06:23.230 --> 01:06:28.760
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, he wants to be real so bad. What's your number 2? I haven't even Hi, you know.

695
01:06:28.760 --> 01:06:36.710
Tad Eggleston: I went with the legendary links from Alex Segura and Sandy Jarrell, which fleshed out the legendary lynx stories from

696
01:06:38.200 --> 01:06:46.109
Tad Eggleston: secret identity just in time for the release of alter ego, which also had a a series of

697
01:06:46.610 --> 01:06:51.490
Tad Eggleston: legendary links, shorts that hopefully will also get fleshed out into

698
01:06:52.140 --> 01:06:54.800
Tad Eggleston: graphic novel. The way this one did.

699
01:06:55.010 --> 01:06:55.690
Tad Eggleston: Oh.

700
01:06:55.690 --> 01:06:56.450
Tyler Johnson: Cool.

701
01:06:57.700 --> 01:06:58.340
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

702
01:06:58.630 --> 01:07:06.010
Tad Eggleston: I like me like me some Alex sakura. I like me some legendary links. I like me some secret identity, some alter ego.

703
01:07:06.380 --> 01:07:08.060
Tad Eggleston: It's good stuff.

704
01:07:08.600 --> 01:07:09.789
Tad Eggleston: That's good stuff.

705
01:07:10.440 --> 01:07:18.850
Tyler Johnson: Oh, man, and my number one from heroes don't have to come from the Big 2 was some of our friends from Greg and fake.

706
01:07:18.850 --> 01:07:23.369
Tad Eggleston: I have no idea why this didn't pop into my head. This this would have been

707
01:07:23.650 --> 01:07:33.480
Tad Eggleston: this would have been a local man, would have been dumped in favor of Santos sisters if it had not just completely slipped. My mind is, oh, yeah, they've got superhero stuff in that.

708
01:07:33.770 --> 01:07:42.329
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, and it's like perfect, because it is definitely not big, too. I mean, it's silly. It's bizarre. It's yeah.

709
01:07:42.480 --> 01:07:44.980
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. It's it's fun.

710

718
01:08:20.410 --> 01:08:31.360
Tad Eggleston: the family is caretakers of this other world, or heroes of this other world, and and all of the novels that her father had written were really real, or at least based on

Tad Eggleston: I mean, that's more of the book announcement. Cycle

01:12:46.060 --> 01:12:48.019
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, cause I was gonna

783

Tyler Johnson: I'm a huge Jim Jim Henson fan, and even bigger fraggle fan. So this hits me in all the fields.

793
01:14:10.950 --> 01:14:14.300
Tad Eggleston: All right this, literally just

794
01:14:14.650 --> 01:14:20.900

01:14:21.020 --> 01:14:24.069

798
01:14:33.680 --> 01:14:36.170
Tad Eggleston: episode will be available for most people.

799
01:14:38.440 --> 01:14:38.970
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

800
01:14:38.970 --> 01:14:44.360
Tad Eggleston: Joe Biden has an OP-ed in the Washington Post that just went live.

801
01:14:45.420 --> 01:14:46.250
Tyler Johnson: Okay.

802
01:14:46.250 --> 01:14:46.910
Tad Eggleston: It's

803
01:14:47.420 --> 01:14:59.969
Tad Eggleston: on this January 6th order will be called clerks, staff and members of Congress will gather to certify the results of a free and fair Presidential election, and ensure a peaceful transfer of power.

804
01:15:00.160 --> 01:15:04.119
Tad Eggleston: Capitol police will stand guard over the citadel of our democracy.

805
01:15:04.410 --> 01:15:13.619
Tad Eggleston: The Vice President of the United States, faithful to her duty under our Constitution, will preside over the certification of her opponent's victory in the November election

806
01:15:13.950 --> 01:15:17.080
Tad Eggleston: is a ceremony that is for more than 2 centuries

807
01:15:18.030 --> 01:15:23.330
Tad Eggleston: has made America a beacon to the world, a ceremony that ratifies the will of the voters

808
01:15:23.670 --> 01:15:26.139
Tad Eggleston: for much of our history. This proceeding

809
01:15:26.250 --> 01:15:29.689
Tad Eggleston: has been treated as pro forma a routine act.

810
01:15:30.200 --> 01:15:36.789
Tad Eggleston: But after what we all witnessed on January 6, th 2021, we know we can never again take it for granted.

811
01:15:37.620 --> 01:15:45.570
Tad Eggleston: Violent insurrectionists attacked the Capitol, threatened the lives of elected officials and assaulted brave law enforcement officers.

812
01:15:45.770 --> 01:15:53.199
Tad Eggleston: We should be proud that our democracy withstood this assault, and we should be glad we will not see such a shameful attack again this year.

813
01:15:53.800 --> 01:15:55.970
Tad Eggleston: But we should not forget.

814
01:15:56.100 --> 01:16:02.499
Tad Eggleston: We must remember the wisdom of the adage that any nation that forgets its past is doomed to repeat it.

815
01:16:02.610 --> 01:16:06.270
Tad Eggleston: We cannot accept a repeat of what occurred 4 years ago.

816
01:16:07.000 --> 01:16:21.709
Tad Eggleston: An unrelenting effort has been under way to rewrite even a race. The history of that day, to tell us we didn't see what we all saw with our own eyes, to dismiss concerns about it as some kind of partisan obsession.

817
01:16:21.830 --> 01:16:25.910
Tad Eggleston: to explain it away as a protest that just got out of hand.

818
01:16:26.380 --> 01:16:28.109
Tad Eggleston: This is not what happened

819
01:16:28.350 --> 01:16:40.309
Tad Eggleston: in time. There will be Americans who didn't witness the January 6th riot firsthand, but will learn about it from footage and testimony of that day from what is written in the history books, and from the truth we pass on to our children.

820
01:16:40.470 --> 01:16:43.010
Tad Eggleston: we cannot allow the truth to be lost.

821
01:16:43.160 --> 01:16:57.500
Tad Eggleston: Thousands of rioters crossed the National Mall and climbed the Capitol walls, smashing windows and kicking down doors just blocks away a bomb was found near the location of the incoming Vice President threatening her life.

822
01:16:57.770 --> 01:17:07.560
Tad Eggleston: Law enforcement officials were beaten, dragged, knocked, unconscious, and stomped upon. Some police officers ultimately died. As a result.

823
01:17:08.040 --> 01:17:14.040
Tad Eggleston: as President-elect. That day I spoke to the country and called for peace for the certification to resume

824
01:17:14.560 --> 01:17:24.610
Tad Eggleston: 4 years later, leaving office, I am determined to do everything I can to respect the peaceful transfer of power and restore the traditions we have long respected in America.

825
01:17:24.860 --> 01:17:35.280
Tad Eggleston: The election will be certified peacefully. I have invited the incoming President to the White House on the morning of January 20, th and I will be present present for his inauguration that afternoon.

826
01:17:35.910 --> 01:17:38.649
Tad Eggleston: But on this day we cannot forget.

827
01:17:38.990 --> 01:17:48.740
Tad Eggleston: This is what we owe those who founded this nation, those who have fought for it and died for it, and we should commit to remembering. January 6, th 2021 every year

828
01:17:49.190 --> 01:17:54.089
Tad Eggleston: to remember it as a day when our democracy was put to the test and prevailed

829
01:17:54.260 --> 01:17:58.969
Tad Eggleston: to remember that democracy, even in America, is never guaranteed.

830
01:17:59.300 --> 01:18:03.590
Tad Eggleston: we should never forget. It is our democracy that makes everything possible.

831
01:18:03.810 --> 01:18:12.479
Tad Eggleston: our freedoms, our rights, our liberties, our dreams, and that it falls to every generation of Americans to defend and protect it.

832
01:18:20.090 --> 01:18:25.799
Tad Eggleston: I'm not certain I've ever seen a OP-ed from a sitting president.

833
01:18:25.800 --> 01:18:29.909
Tyler Johnson: From a president. Right? I was just thinking that I was just wow.

834
01:18:30.690 --> 01:18:31.770
Tad Eggleston: But that was a good one.

835
01:18:32.670 --> 01:18:38.480
Tyler Johnson: Yeah. Well, on that note, we we should bid everyone adieu.

836
01:18:40.190 --> 01:18:46.370
Tyler Johnson: Yeah, it's been fun, and we'll see you next week. We'll catch everyone after the next page.

837
01:18:46.870 --> 01:18:47.700
Tyler Johnson: See you?

838
01:18:50.760 --> 01:18:51.790
Tyler Johnson: There we go.
