Yes. I mean, we will be doing it, Muffly. Mumfley. All right. So, before we begin, we are joined here by our wonderful super producer, Spidey Kerma.

Bow, pow, bow, bow. What's up, guys? Bowmow, bow, bow, blex bomb. All that. All that. Quick X-Men 97 check-in from our X-Man expert, our expert. You already know what it is, guys.

I made the request, like, a while back, I think Jess was here we were talking about, you know, expectations for X-Men 97. I said, I need more night crawler. What they do, they gave me more night crawler. Not only did they give you more night crawler, they gave you one of the best scenes of night crawler we've ever seen. The night crawler scene.

He said, Wolverine said something about he's got six reasons, whatever. And then the night crawler comes in, no, my friend. We have nine. Three swords. He said nine twice. Nine. Nine, my friend.

Nine, you're right, you're right. But, no, amazing shit from Nightcrawler. I love the, also the little storyline we're getting, you know, the father-son dynamics between cable and Scott. I love that. We got a little family bonding exercise in the cave, all that. Great stuff. Phenomenal stuff. Can't complain.

Of course, Magneto went crazy at the end. Dog. That's why. In the highly believable and very, very attainable EMP blasts that shook the entire? bro and again hey man why do you have to go to North Pole man because he's stunned like that yeah because he's stunned on him

right dude I can do that anywhere because the shit was cool in the second I thought he was going to go it was like wait Fortress of Solitude is DC he's not going to the Forger's Solitude right recharge

yes and stuff not man like I think speaking of the Nightcrawler thing I think the first scene in X2 is like that's like the quintessential I was known as the famous Nightcala but you're right

that scene has a chance to top it It's top five. It's got to be. Going through the BAMF? Oh. I mean, come on, bro. Come on, bro. I don't think Magneto said a whole word this episode.

No, no. He said enough. And come on, bro. Come on, man. That's why Magneto was right. That's why he's the goal. Let's talk about it. Again, we're going to talk about the Magneto was right thing.

Because that's a like, it's a meme. Right? Like, in the comics and at least in the movie so far, as far as I'm aware, Magneto's usually the bad dude, right? Yes. And so for them to not only take that meme, but actually make it so the end of the day, you have to like, when you're looking at it, you're like, oh, oh, wow, he nailed it. Like, the guy was on the money.

Somebody who's well versed in the comics. Like, what does that, like, really mean? Magneto was right? Yeah. So the origin I can remember of in Grant Morrison's X-Men run in a world that it's believed that Magneto has died. There are some people that run with the idea that Magneto was right as, you know, this anti-human representative, you know, figure within the mutant world.

So that isn't necessarily the best way to reflect Magneto's right. I think it's used online as kind of a joke in the idea of mutants are an oppressed peoples that time and time again Charles Xavier chooses to do things to save humanity and not necessarily focus on protecting and oppressed peoples. And so the idea of Magneto was right is all about worrying about our kind, essentially. I don't know if that sounds crazy. What do you mean by our kinds? Well, for them it's mutants.

If you want to take that, you know, and run with it, you know, black folks could say, you know what I'm saying? I'm not like Magneto was right. Malcolm X was right. You know what I'm saying? He can't run with it too much. But yeah. Not going to get crazy.

I am on, you know, Spotify Airwaves. I like this job. Christ. But yeah, that's the sentiment behind it. Just the idea of mutant unity, let's protect mutine kind. That's my understanding of Magneto was right. Last question before we go. What amount of fuck shit do you anticipate from Charles Xavier in this next episode

when he has to confront Eric with his, and the rest of his X-Men? Like, hey, where were you? Expecting a whole lot of manipulation. You know how it is, man. Revision is history. That's a crazy. I never, I didn't even think about that. Imagine like you find a war at your crib.

Like you're battling back. And your homie come back. It was like, not only, your father figure comes back. And he was like, bro, I thought she was gone. Where'd you go? I was just having an affair in space. Well, you know, my little space sticky, you know what I'm saying? I was just out there.

We just having a good time. But then like I got like a, I got like a something to feel right. Oh, I heard. I've heard bad news about Gambit. How do we feel? about Gambit right now. You know what? Yeah, Charles dying twice.

That's for sure. Yeah, it's not going down. Go back in space, my boy. As I love to say, fuck Charles Xavier. All my homies hate Charles Xavier. Exactly. He's a piece of shit in all forms of media, except for the, was it, Patrick Stewart?

Like, that's the only version of him. That's the only one where like, but even that one, if you really try, because you think about what he did to Jean Grey in the movies, kind of like trying to compartmentalize her powers. Like, that sounds like you're trying to oppress a woman, my boy.

That's the least words. did. The least worst thing. Charles, Charles Xavier, known anti-feminist. He tried to put women down. That's what I'm saying, man. Terrible person. Terrible person. Charles Xavier, fuck that guy. All right. Let's get into the meat of this episode today. Hey, yo.

Pause. Let's get into the meat. Let's get into the meat and two veg of mint edition. You know what I'm saying? Well, who's the meat? Right after this. Who's the meat of meat? Yo, this is getting cut out.

to it. The time has come once again to talk about some comics that we read in the very merry month of April. All right, before we begin, spoiler warning coming at you for all issues up to date for Ultimate Spider-Man from Jonathan Hickman, Deadpool number one, and Rat City number one. While we recommend all of these books to you, friendly neighborhood spoiler warning before you begin. Let's start off with Revisiting a book that we actually talked about last time The Hotly Anticipated, Readily Unavailable Issues of Ultimate Spider-Man, Issues 1 through 4

Written by Jonathan Hickman and Art by Marco Chichetto. Guys, we might be cooking here. We got four issues in. Might be cooking, and this is a bit of a stretch. Might be. Here's the thing. It's about single issues. you know, you're really, it's a slow burn.

We're going to be going at this for a minute. Very slow. Very slow. Not that it's not interesting, but, you know. But continuing the storyline that Peter Parker is reclaiming a life that was stolen from him, lost to time, as it was, given back to him by Tony Stark from the future, gives him back the radioactive spider, gives him back his powers as a father of two and a married man and trying to make sense of it all in an alternate unit.

that's trying to be righted into the right one. Lots of interesting questions here. What do you guys think of these first four episodes, Jomey? I'm enjoying it, you know, because I think where it lacks in the Spider-Man action, it does the Peter Parker stuff really, really well. And so, like, for the latest issue that came out last week, they go on a double date with, what's his name, Harry, and his wife, When Stacey

Here's the great thing What I like is that they don't know Who any of these people are No Peter Peter learns about who Harry is Because he's just the Green Goblin And that's it And that's it

And they have like a conversation again He's not in the suit at all But he Mary, Gwen and Harry That rhymed Talk about their lives And what this kind of stuff means And you know

Do people need heroes You know what I mean and then when Stacey and Gwen Stacey and Mary Jane go to the bathroom, Harry and Peter are like, yo, she doesn't know. It's like, no, why would I do that? And then Harry drops that line. It's a great, I literally, I mean, he drops the line. I screenshotted it in the dock because it's perfect.

It's like, you seriously think you can live this life and insulate the people you love from the consequences. Oh. Great power comes great responsibility. And I was like, hey, rest of peace here. We're going to miss you. Yeah. No,

actually fuck that. Nobody says that. Nobody says that. No. Nobody says that and lives. Not even Tony Stark got to say that and live. That's fair.

You know what I'm saying? Because you're saying, right? In Civil War, when Tony Stark and Peter Barker and Civil War having that conversation about like, why are you who you are?

And he doesn't say the thing. He doesn't say the thing. But he does say when you have the powers that I have and don't do anything to help, it's on you. And then Tony's like, you know, yeah, you feel responsible and whatnot. You know, you take care of the little guy.

Like, not even, Tony didn't even like actually say it, but he kind of like, you know, was like hinting at it. And he got got. So for Harry to actually say it, brother, rest in peace. I will be there at your memorial service, my boy. But I think the context under which Great Power Comes Great Responsibility happens here is actually, I think I love this implementation. Oh, yeah, no, no, I agree.

Because he's like, no, you need to be responsible. first. Yeah. Like, the people that you love in your life, like, you take this life on because of the people around you and you bring them into this, knowing what you need to do. And that's a, it's a beautiful thing.

Like, it's genuinely great. It's a weird vibe because a lot of this issue, the issue four is primarily set at the dinner table with the four of them. And occasionally we get the team up buddy of Ben Parker and JJ. I just love that they're buddies that hang out all the time now. They don't.

I've never seen them apart in this entire run. They go to the sauna together. They go to the office together. History will say they were roommates. They were roommates. You know what? Maybe we got some more to learn. More issues to come.

We don't know. What I do love is how Mary Jane was like, call your online news publication the paper. Yeah. And they were like, hmm, sure. But Peter's youngest is like, I don't like it. I don't like you. Okay, Jonah, you suck. She doesn't say that to his face.

Well, she gets, can I say it to his face? She got the stank face for him. She's like, I don't really, I'm not really viable with you, my boy. Something about you is off, you know? And I think it's interesting because she's the only one who knows that Peter is Spider-Man and she don't like Jonah, you know. I love how zesty May is at that young age. She's like, when they have that little, like moment on the couch where they're like,

you two are hiding something. And we're like, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Maybe you're hiding something. I do I did love Like them trying to figure out the colors in the suit In the third How the fuck did he just get to change that? Did I miss something there Kerm?

Like it's the future It's the future But like yeah The suit can just change You just accept that it's it's Tony Stark tech It's whatever Yeah whatever the technology is Apparently I'm not getting slept up in it

He went to the North Pole It's fine But my thing is like At this point I'm sure he's still like A genius pretty smart But he's not in the web shooter. You got things to do now.

No, yeah. It's all, it's a pre-package. Yeah, here's literally, here's a suit, here's everything you need, just get bid by the spotter and then go save the world. At some point, I assume he's going to start saving the world. That's my only thing. I do need my Spotter Man to do some Spotter Manning. Well, in issue two, I believe, we get, getting punked twice by shocker. That's disgusting. No, no, no. Again, young, 15-year-old Peter Parker got punked.

out by shocker many times. 35-year-old Peter Parker, that's... No, but again, he's fresh. He's still year-one Spider-Man. He's 35, but his year-one spider-man. So let me tell you something, right? Let me tell you this funny story. There's a clip.

You go online and look it up, and it's about a whole bunch of NBA players saying, like, who was the first player that, like, just, like, cooked their ass? Right. Right. Who's the first player that when you played against him? You're like, yo, this guy, like, he's on a different level, right? A bunch of guys said Carmelo, K.D., Kobe, you know? Then you got Kyrie Irving.

Gets on there. And he's like, you want to know the first player to bust my ass in the NBA? Jose Calderon. Steve, who's Jose Calderon? I don't know who Jose Calderon is. If I put a lineup of five NBA guys. Right. Would you tell me which one is Jose Calderon?

Probably not. Probably not. You know what I'm saying? So it is what it is. Sometimes there's a guy who you probably supposed to be better than everybody else. Like, oh, you're better to him. But, you know, you're young. You get got sometimes.

But like, it's so funny because it's the notorious, like, one to get punked out to is shocker. Shocker always loses. And maybe that's the point, right? Maybe that's the point. Yes, exactly. Yeah. But I'm like, you live in New York City. Anybody coming to you with that sarcastic attitude?

Like, you can't be suspicious of it a little bit. Even a guy with, like, shocking hands. It was really funny. It was like, no, you know what? No, you're right. I'm desperate. There's always a better way. You know, I got to do my job.

Then he gets got to get him like, hey, Peter, that's on that's like, really? I'm like, Pete, come on now. You idiot. And that's the great thing because I love that the fact that like Peter is quickly becoming addicted to becoming Spider-Man. Yeah. Like he can't stop that shit. I mean, it's literally in his DNA, right? Like that's what makes the character.

But it's wild because like he's barely having any like maybe we have a little bit of ways to go in the storyline. But he's barely having any sort of like doubt. or second-guessings about whether or not he likes being Spider-Man or wants to be this thing. He's falling into place. The chess pieces are falling out of the board that Tony Stark's laying out.

And the rest of this ultimate universe seems to be kind of like putting chess pieces into place to line up the future that Stark wants. Peter's just born to be Spider-Man. Yes, exactly. I think that's the thing about the character you see across the multiverse.

is that every single Peter Parker, every single Spider-Man that's ever existed, has that will incite them to be like, I have to be Spider-Man above everything else. And this is like one of the first times, at least for me, first time where I'm watching a Peter Parker who's like, yeah, I know I have to be Spider-Man, but what is that? Like, what does that actually mean? Right.

Because it's one thing to be in high school and to be in college, and you can, like, kind of like, mess around and goof off. when you have like a family that you have to be there for right you can't just abscond and go be Spider-Man all the time right you have a wife you have two kids

you know what I'm saying there are like levels to it you're not you're not you have a Spider-Man for 20 years you know at that point you're just like yeah I'm Spider-Man you do this it's fine whatever this is new how does this affect the people I love

exactly I think that's why like then not being like a lot of Spider-Man action doesn't bother me as much I'm like at some point, you know what I'm saying? Let's get to the stuff. But ultimately what makes, ultimately, who?

What makes this thing very interesting is we're seeing aside of Peter Parker that we've never seen before. Exactly. And I think it's issues like this, particularly four, where Pete and Mary Jane are still like very much, they're a team. And it's weird to see how copacetic

and like intertwined they've been throughout their lives and then immediately the split in their lives, a la Pete becoming Spider-Man or wanting to be Spider-Man, immediately starts to force a wedge. Like, he's lying to his wife and son with a little sly secret with his daughter. Like, immediately, that's, like, that's the thing that he's, like, resorting to. Not trust, not, like, intimate secrets with his family, not. not trying to think of a bigger picture, even though he's been tasked literally

with the future of the world. I mean, standard stuff, right, for Spider-Man? I guess. You know, this is regular, d'egular. This is, you get binned by the spider, you become Spider-Man, and then you can't tell your loved ones or anybody who you are

because they need the people who love you come after them, right? And this is my question to you, Kerm, in this, like, long form, because we're going to wait, like, another month, or at least, like, a couple weeks, just for issue five, let alone however many, you know,

dozens, if not more, issues that we have. Do you feel like this long-form storytelling, like the bits that we get, again, it's like, I'm not the most avid comic reader, I'm not a Wednesday warrior by any means. Do you feel satisfied by this level of incremental storytelling, especially with a big as enough character like Spider-Man? Yeah, so far with these first four issues,

I've been like, okay, it's a slow burn, I'm here for the ride, and I think Jonathan Hickman is known to make it worth it. And then you're going to get those big moments later on. But it definitely, I think this would be a much more enjoyable comic if you were able to just binge it. Absolutely. But that's the most comics, though. Right. That's the most hard.

Very true. Very true. But like, at least specifically for this, just because it's like you're not getting that action, right? Like, we're getting the world development, which is very important. I think there's stuff with like the undertones of between Harry and Peter's relationship that is very interesting to me. I'm interested in where that leads. Like, I know right now it's clear the Green Goblin. is on the side of right.

But I think they even addressed in this issue, Mary and Peter kind of were talking to the side about, like, there's, like, power dynamics there. Right. And when it's like, when your new friend is a billionaire that off-rip the first time y'all interact, he takes your identity from you, by the way. It's not that you revealed the secret identity.

So I'm very interested to see how they play with that further going forward. But, yes, I think this could give it, I'm going to give it two more issues, but it could definitely become one of those things. where I'm like, you know. I'm going to wait for a trade. I'm going to wait for the paperback to come out or something. But as of right now, you know, I'm still, I'm here for the slow burn.

Okay. Every month they're revealing something to me. Okay. Here's my wildly inappropriate final question for Ultimate Spider-Man. Oh, dear. Did you get any swinger vibes from Harry and... Bro, you beat me to it. Harry, okay.

Harry and Gwen kind of felt like they were on some swing or shit at this dinner table. And Peter found it too, because Peter was like, I thought you said your wife was coming. And then she's like, don't worry about her. And then immediately once the reveal is that it's Gwen and Stacy, you can't help but think. And then,

hey, I just, you know, I just saw Challenger's, maybe like, Gwen's a little flirting with both MJ and Harry, and I'm like, and Harry and Pete. And Harry's okay with it.

And I was like, what the fuck is going? I'm waiting for an upside-down pineapple situation. I'm like, what? Yo, that's a crazy pool. What do you mean? What's a upside-down? Is it?

I actually don't know upside-down. Oh, that's like the symbol for swingers. Oh, well, now I know. If you see, like, pineapple's just, like, in the wild on, like, somebody's mailbox or, like, on somebody's, like, shirt, if it's, like, a pin? Yeah. What if I'm a big fan of psych?

I can't be a psych fan anymore? Not as many psych fans as there are swingers, my guy. I'm sorry. It's probably true. The mathematics are probably, like... That's true. Yeah. Here's the thing, right?

The Gwen Stacy thing is interesting, because obviously they hype it up. They're like, oh, who's Harry's wife? You train against Gwen Stacy. And clearly, in this universe, I don't think Pete dated Gwen Stacy. No, didn't know who she was. Didn't have no idea who she was.

Which makes me kind of feel like, I'm like, okay. It's interesting for us. It's the wild random happenstance of like, oh, this is a fun Easter egg for us. And like, okay, we get to see Gwen Stacy in a different role, which is fine. But I'm like, it's, Harry could have just as easily married some random woman.

Yeah, but that's not fun. And it's not fun. If he marries, if Samantha Jones just shows up on the page, you're like, okay, who is that? That's why do I care? That's why I think it's very deliberate. Like, I think we're going to get some sort of maybe affair within these four people. It doesn't necessarily have to be swinger vibes. It could be.

Just try and Harry doing some sneak shit on the side. Because Peter, where you been at? Every night you disappear in the middle of night. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Who are you at? I'm going outside for you. Where's Felicia?

Where's Felicia? So I feel like by introducing Gwen Stacy, like Jonathan Hickman knows what he's doing. We obviously already have those romantic undertones. Like we expect those vibes between Peter and Gwen at some point. I think it's probably going to deliver down the line. If not, it does seem kind of weird to just thrust Gwen Stacy in this role. Or getting the death of Gwen Stacy again. Oh, man, wait a minute.

How do we remix this? Oh, so that's how Harry becomes like, he goes to the side of evil. I could see that. You know, I can see that. Maybe, you know? Well, you could like... Now, you can't kill Gwen Stacy in 24 like that. I mean, you absolutely can.

You can, but like that's... They just did it like 12 years ago, buddy. On screen, we saw it. That's tough. Rest in peace. The snap was hard in that one. I'm not going to lie to you. I was laughing in theater.

That snap harder than Thanos. That was funny, that was tough. It was mad funny because movies like stunk, but like me and my boy... It was a genuinely like crazy moment. Well, because Mark Webb did this thing where the he he he was a hand and I'm like all right I like shut up I get it I yes like whatever yes no I understand buddy I see what you're trying to do yeah and then you know and we're just like in the theater like again like laughing our ass off despite the fact that you know she just died um but no

they could do it again I think I think something happens not on the clock tower or any I'm brother just like literally it's a canady event it must occur right Like, we can't even if we can't interfere. Right, yeah. They're going to go with George Washington Bridge and the clock tower. And I think Harry and Spider-Man might be trying to work together to save her. And then she doesn't get saved. And Harry blames Spider-Man.

And now they got beef. And then they're beefing. Damn. Yeah, I could see it. Okay. Because think about it. Like, I guess, like, I thought the big bag could be kingpin when he showed up in episode one as the guy buying the bugle. But we've never really seen many bad guys.

Well, he's clearly got some other stuff going on. and that's like kind of going to be the teased out, like, main villain of the arc, for sure because Fisk has, like, he's had assassination attempts and clearly, like, he's hired out Bullseye once again to take care of stuff. I don't, I'm sick of this throwing cards gimmick,

especially for Bullseye. What can he hold and throw at the same time? Knives. We've had this conversation, I think. I know, but I'm just, I'm done with the card gimmick. So what's wrong with cards? I like cards, marbles, like, there's options. My thing is, I don't care who you are.

You can't throw cards hard enough to, like, actually kill somebody. You can if they're, like, razor sharp, which it seems like those, I mean, kill somebody. I don't know. You know what I'm saying? Again, it's just lame. It's cringe. It's like, you know, it's some real milady energy. I don't know.

Malady? What are you on about? You know the fedora wearing the lady dudes? Yes, no, I know exactly what it is. I don't know how that relates. It's just weird. Have you seen dudes with, like, cards and I'm like, I don't know. I feel like Gambb.

It's better for Gambit than it is for Bulls. Yeah, no. I don't like it on Bullseye. I want to just throw a cool knife or something. I like when he threw, like, I think in the Netflix adaptation, he was doing like baseballs. Pens. Yeah.

I like it that is just like I can take whatever I want to make a weapon. That's what I'm talking about. Just like find some shit on the ground. Like throw this water bottle. But that's, but if I hire you to go kill somebody, I'm going to take something to kill you with. I guess in this universe. The Ace of Spades.

It's deadly as hell. You get that right in somebody's heart. they die. I think it's weird. But again, this is a universe where you can get go back, somebody can go like back in time, send you a radioactive spider that doesn't immediately kill you with the suit that changes color. At the end of the day, it's all make-belief and everything is made up. And so who cares? Why should we even be alive at this point if they were all just going to go from dust and go back into dust?

Does anything matter? No. But we're alive. Why the fuck did it go there? We might as well enjoy it. We might as well enjoy it. We might as well enjoy it, you know. That got a little dark for a second, but okay. It's been a long week, Kerm. It's been a long fight. We've got to have a warrior spirit. All right.

Every outfit starts with a choice. What am I wearing underneath? Something comfortable? And let's be honest, something that keeps everything looking smooth. That's where Vanity Fair lingerie comes in. Their new smoothing wireless bra has four-way stretch fabric for all over smoothing, soft lightly lined cubs for an natural shape and no wire comfort that last all day. All over smooth, all day comfort, vanity fair lingerie. Find yours at Target today. Deadpool number one!

Written by Cody Ziegler and art by Roger Antonio. It's an in-media res story with Deadpool at the center of it and his wonderful symbiote dog princess who I don't really know that much about, but it's very cute. And calls her Papa.

and it takes in a new villain for our buddy Deadpool. Merck with the mouth has got a new buddy, Death's Gambit. He's got a new enemy, Death's Grip. I don't know about that name, but it's a fun little first issue. Here's my thing.

I wanted to give Deadpool a shot because we got our new movie coming out in the next month. And I haven't really given Deadpool that much of a shot for a good fun comic book arc and I always thought of him as a bit too actually like juvenile and edge lordy but this is actually like kind of wholesome and fun.

Jomey, what did you think of this issue? I liked it a lot. I think the thing for me is you know, the thing with all these comic book stuff is if you're coming in just like, hey, there's a new run. I go read it and you're not locked in. you get mad confuse.

Because again, it opens and he's got a carnage dog. I was like... And so the carnage dog is like a year old and Alyssa Wong's run. Too long didn't read essentially a scientist but I actually read,

but you know, just to be all quick so on me like some, you know, let's say mad scientists put an impregnated a Deadpool with the carnage and then the carnage came out of him

in the form of a dog that is now his, right. daughter, dog, princess. You know what I'm saying? That's nuts, right? But here's the thing. I'm actually fine with this because there's a level of like throwing my hands up in the air and to be like,

all right, fuck it, we're here. Like, I'm not going to be subscribed so much to the, like, well, do I need to have seen Spider-Man 2 to have seen Spider-Man 3? Like that, like, the movies are a different context and continuity all in their own. Like, I am assuming that I am not going to be here for everything that a comic book throws at me, even in issue one,

because there's a lot of, like, extenuating circumstances of context and continuity that comes in from different things. And even while it's not a direct tie-in or pull from another story, they can still take little bits and pieces of it. But the main thing being, I expect it to give me a general update

or at least idea of what's going on right now. And, sure, he's got a weird alien dog with him, and he's fighting a guy with portals. And he's like, hey, you're a portal guy. Like portal guys, they're fun. It's also heartbroken. Well, yeah, that was, I understood that part. Like, it talks about how, um, if this daughter, like, out somewhere, he can't see her and all that stuff.

And so he's just basically, all right, well, I'm just going to make a whole bunch of money killing people. And that's not really helping, but it's going to have something to do at least. Yeah. And I think that's like a fair update. The Carnage Dog was kind of crazy. But I just assumed that happens to comics because that's what happens. Yeah. I like that they carried over the Carnage Dog.

Another thing that came from, Alyssa Wong's run, he had like this, the new love of his life, Valentin Vuong, I don't know how to pronounce it, I just read it, you know what I'm saying? We're just here. We just went to the North Pole. And yeah, ultimately it didn't work out. That's like the small little bit of context you need.

I will say, though, I did rock with this issue. So I love Deadpool's humor. Like, I think it, I love meta humor. Again, like, community, like, changed my life. And that kind of just like reference like his style of comedy works for me and so like the splash page when he's like

well this seems like it's gonna be hard to draw. I was like ah that's good I'd hate to be the artist who draws this. That was awesome I was like that's really like that's fun that's fun and tongue and cheek and just like And here's the thing I

if there's a second I have two minds about how I wanted to approach Deadpool or how I was kind of forced to approach Deadpool because a majority of us know a Ryan Reynolds-esque interpretation of just like foul-mouthed dick jokes and uber violent. This is not so much the case.

Well, no, he's over violent. I mean, sure, but like he's chopping heads off, but like not to a degree that's just like, uh, or whoa, or anything like that. I would disagree. He's very super violent in this one. He blows, I mean, like a lot of blowing up stuff, a lot of shooting people. I never see any of this as egregious, though. I would say egregious, but like, I don't even think the Deadpool ones egregious.

Like, if you're going to fight bad guys, you're going to fight bad guys. I know, but, like, for some reason, I feel like it's more colorful, it's more lighthearted, and it's a lot more... Because they're not real. Yes, obviously. But again, it feels a bit more accessible and a little bit more... I don't want to say kid-friendly, but just friendly to the reader. Because, like, he's not foul-mouth. He's not saying shit-puss-fuck, all that stuff.

That I can agree with, like, the... It's not juvenile. It's not, you know, just cuss words. It's more fun. It's more like friendly spirited rather than like... It's more creative. It's not just like low... I'm going to say lowbrow because that's unfair.

He's not talking about pegging and he's not talking about all these other things. Like it's not like that. I can see what you mean. I can see... I can see division there. And I enjoyed that a lot because it feels like a bit more of a... It feels like a bit more of a carefree adventure than something that like feels like the need to be impressed upon me that like this isn't like other comic

books or this isn't like any because we've, like, in terms of comics, we've read it all. Everything's going to be happening. Like, can you just have a fun story and a fun adventure? Kermm, is there anything that you can pull from this that, like, seems like that you can

see a good through line to? We're getting a lot of new stuff here. Is this more like just an empty table setting? Like, it's not going to be as, like, narratively dense as an ultimate Spider-Man. But, like, is intriguing at least? For me, I'll tell, I'm a little intrigued, but not as much I would like to be. I think in the past year, Deadpool has been

lumped in, as he always is, with the X-Men. In the Krakawa era, he was on the X-4 squad, and it felt like what was going on in his stories mattered to the universe. Right now, it seems like this is intentionally kind of like, let's lower the expectations. This is going to be a fun-loving, not fun-loving, but just like a good time, chill vibes, you know, read this once a month, kick me your feedback, not, you know, end of the world type shit, which is a good thing. I think for me, it's not necessarily scratching the itch that I want. But I'll give, also, I am a big fan of Cody Ziegler and his Miles Morales run, so I'm willing to kind of, you know, I'll give it a couple issues, see where it goes. But for me, you know, I think it's solid, just, you know, if you're looking for a little bit of humor in your comics, low stakes, it hits that.

It hits that. Also, another Miles Morales mention in the footnotes of like, hey, be sure to check out. this other run that I did. Exactly. Agent gal. Yeah. And he was like, she was like, I want a former team. Depp was like, no, that's a bad idea.

Depp was like, you know what? I think I got, I had a great idea, guys. I, as well. To the former team. Yes. And it'll be me. Just me. Running it.

Just him. Like him in charge. I saw, I was reading the comic and I had to find this panel because I thought it was great. And I'm thinking about making my Twitter header, actually now. It's the, it's the scene where. he's fine on the dudes and he's like well it looks like I'm built different

I'm like yo I gotta let people know you come to the tweets you know I'm saying that that is definitely a Twitter thing it's either that one or there's one of Thanos and he's just like he's like you better have that same energy you know I'm saying some real like

hater stuff you better have that same hey fans let me know what I should change my Twitter hit you is it Thanos Hater Energy or am I built different Submit all of your Submit all of your Avey suggestions to Joe me on Twitter. You know what I'm saying? I just feel like, you know,

my Twitter header to represent, you know, me, who I am. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, if you guys got any suggestions outside the other two, let me know. If you send anything milk related,

you will get blocked. How about a big, a very full picnic basket? I will, that's also a blog. It's the block. That's a block. That's a block.

Don't play me. Also, we have a little post-credit scene of, of Deadpool and his daughter. It was very sweet. Nice. So Deadpool's daughter is obviously from him and Carmelita Camacho, right? I think she's with a shield agent right now, like the Prestons, according to Marvel.com.

But her name is Ellie. And that's nice. You know, I think I didn't know Deadpool had that in him. I know. Well, I think in the movies, like, it's very much like, you want to have kids, you know, and they're like, they're like, they give it a shot. But this thing happened in the comics is really nice. Although, like, it is sad because he can't be with her, you know,

because he feels responsible and with everything that goes on with him. He's a whole ass assassin. Yeah, like, you can't really, it can't really have a family. Got to hang up the swords, maybe. At that, but it doesn't really matter at that point, right? Because, hey, you have to revive for your family. Like, what does, do you think, like, Deadpool's going to work at the bed, bath and beyond? I was about to say, dude cannot even work at McDonald's.

Do you know what I mean? Can't even work at McDonald's. Shout out to everybody that's working at McDonald's right now. That's not even like that. Wow. I've worked plenty of retail jobs in my life. You know, I'm not classes. I think what he's trying to say is that what does Deadpool really know how to do besides kill?

Right. He doesn't have a skill set. It doesn't have a skill set. That's what you're trying to say. Debtble legitimately doesn't have a skill set. If you listen to this in the back room in McDonald's right now, keep going hard, brother. Keep getting that bag. That's no shade at all.

I feel like, see, I dug you out of the hall. And then you just jumped right back in. jumped right back in. It's like the people that go into crevice, somebody gets it out, and you go right back in. I had you. I had saved you.

I freed you from your prison. And you then went ahead and said, actually. Jomey's carrying germ out of a burning building. I'm showing out the homies and McDonald's and now I'm the bad guy. No, just keep working and making those mcdubles, man. That's crazy.

I can keep going hard, man. Going hard, make you get your bag. Now you get your bag. Like there's nothing wrong with that. Christ, alive. There's nothing wrong with it. But Deadpool literally does not know how to do anything else.

And so for him, but even if he, like, I'm going to go be a marketing executive. I'm going to go back to college and do the thing. People are going to be like, yo, you're Deadpool. I remember, like, you try, you killed so-and-so. I want revenge. And, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's what happens all the time. And it even stops him from, like, having a nice moment in New York City just sitting on a bench.

because he's got an alien dog that people are running from in terror in the background. Right? Like, so at the end of the day, it's like, well, I really don't know how to do anything else. Might as well just do this while I get my mind off. Which is an extremely short-sighted and sad thing to be like, well, I can't

possibly be a dad and also be me. But he's also given her a phone. Like, you call me whenever you want. And I'm, which is like a little like suspicious, bad energy from a dad, but, you know, he's learning. It's either that or he just disappears. That's fair.

You know what I mean? It's like, call me, though. If, like, if anything, if you even, at the hint of danger, hit my line and I will be there no matter what. I imagine it's Chekhov's Deadpool phone. Right. So at some point. What if she just wanted to, like, share, like, text him and be like,

I got Wordle in 3 or something like that? I think that child's playing Wordle? Yeah, Wordle's fun. I didn't say it wasn't fun. I play a wordle. I'm just saying it's... Sorry, what is it? Castle Crashers?

You know what I'm saying? Clash of Clash of Clans? You know, like 3D pinball maybe? What are kids playing on their phones now? Well, they're playing TikTok, Steve. Yes, obviously. No games? You got games on your phone?

You got games on your phone? I don't think so. I don't think the kids are outside of like... Deadpool, you got games on your phone? Marvel Snap? Thinks you playing Marvel Snap? I'm definitely playing Marvel Snap on my phone. You know what I mean?

Like, eh. God. Wordle on 3 for like what? Like, what is she like, 11? That'd be kind of crazy. Hey, listen, I got Wordle in two one time, and it was the best part of my day. I don't play my whole day. I play connections every single day.

That's insane. You got to love yourself. I do. Well, here's the thing. I'm not bad at it. It's not hard. I'm not saying I'm perfect, right? Like, I usually solve it in like five.

Mm-hmm. But there'll be a day where, like, I get like one, right? Like, off the bat. And then, like, I miss, like, the next, like, two or three. Oh, sure. And then I got to clutch up, you know what I'm saying? You're like, do or die right now. I got to lock in and I can do it.

Sometimes I just miss the whole thing. Are you on a streak? They don't count your streak. They don't count streaks. Okay. Oh my God. Oh my God. Steve.

Steve. Oh, my God. I've been ever, so I started like this year. Like I started connections this year. And I say everybody posts in there. Oh, my world will streak and my, um, New York Times connection or New York Times crossword streak or like their times. I'm like, okay.

So the New York Times will keep all the stats for that. Not for connections. It is fucked up. I want to be locked in. I want to know how I'm doing. You know what I mean? You're not getting my money until you count my streaks. You know what I'm saying?

I pay for it because I thought I could access old connections. You can't do that. No. No. Unless you're a Sudoku head or you're like a big crossword head, which we're not. Literally, if it's not for connections, I wouldn't care. I would not be on that app. Okay, let's get back to the stuff.

But New York Times games. hit my line. Let's talk something. You know what I'm saying? I do take cash, check, Venmo, whatever it is. Zell. All right, our next and final issue of the month. Rat City number one. All right, so I have many questions.

Okay. First of all, why? Written by Erica Schultz and Art by Z. Carlos. Spawn in the future. That's really all that you need to know. No, no, no. Well, spawn barely in the first issue.

No. No. He's not in the future. future. He's in one page. He's in one page. In one page. I'm reading, like, let's be honest, enjoyable. I don't know who these people are. Sorry to this man, but if I saw this on the street, I wouldn't know who he is. Like, I don't know these characters at all,

but Steve's like, yo, check this out. All right, cool, let's talk about us. Let's check it. Let's check it out. Let's watch a pod. Looking at it, they got to do with Killmonger Braids. By the way, enough is enough. Okay. Free our Black Brothers. from... Kerm just immediately starts to pull like,

okay, how many pages before you see Kilmonger Braids? Guess how many? We need... One page. One page. You give them the... They give them the fade on the side

and the dreads on the top and they always point forwards and it's like, guys, what happened to the game I love? Okay? I don't even know if I can get my locks like that if I tried. Like, I don't know how they do this shit. It's got to be hard, right?

It's not real! Yeah, I was like, Because I have a fade and my shit does not like just all sit on one side. Do you know what I mean? Like it's, you know what I mean? Like here's the thing. Just give our guys the taper, right? What happened to the-

Because it's more, I think as far as like you see it, because you're seeing a lot of character designs with this hairstyle. Like things in video games, movies, comic books, etc. Be careful, Steve. No, well, because I've been seeing this argument, like, being very prevalent. And it seems to be like that it's not, it's becoming so much more of a trend that it's almost getting into the point of being lazy and not wanting to make more interesting designs

for characters. We're not a monolith, brother. That's what I'm saying. What happened to the fro? Bring back the fro. Bring back the high top fade. Oh my God. Cornrows.

You know what I'm saying? It doesn't get a little bit. Cornrows was tough. I mean, like, basically, we went from the taper. You know, we went from the fade to the afro. And then from the afro to the cornrows to the killmonger.

Right? You know what I'm saying? They just, for like 10 years, they just pick a haircut. Where the Bantu Knotes at, man? What the motherfucking Bantu Nats? That's what I want to see next. Make them bald. Don't even think about it. Just make them bold.

A bald spawn. Hold on. Whoa. I mean, he got burned, right? He technically did. All right, well, quick summation of what Rat City issue one. It follows Peter Karn, an ex-soldier, and an amputee, in a post-war

World War III future 211, I believe. And it's basically this first issue is following the soldier who's really down on his luck. Mission gone bad, everybody gets like hyper, state-of-the-art military prosthesis,

and they're kind of just abandoned by the government, and it's a very sad story about like a tough, a band of veterans just like kind of being abandoned by society and then basically the hell spawn from our universe or our known universe

spawn, like the shockwaves of that get splintered throughout time and space and spawn appears in this future and will apparently be joined with Peter Karn for the future. It ends on a cliffhanger of him seemingly meeting spawn in a holographic hallucination, it seems.

I don't really know how I felt about it. I picked this because I wanted to try a spawn comic. A spawn comic, brother, brother. That's like calling Incredible Hulk an Iron Man movie. I get it. I get it. You saw the cover got baited. That's what happened.

I did. Look, it's not a bad comic. I want to be very clear. I enjoyed what I read. Sure. But, you know what I'm saying? If they say, hey, guys, guess what, man? Spawn in the movie.

And they spawned like, not really in the movie. You do kind of feel like, hey, man. Like, now you can lie to me. Keith of David. What I will say, what's interesting, though, that you said? It's about a, what do you say, like a group of government officials or something? Well, no, it was, like, government sanctioned soldiers. That what?

It's about a bunch of, basically, like, a black ops military. operation group of soldiers. Okay, who got like tossed out by the government. Yes, and if they didn't die because of the experimental amputations and prosthetics, then they weren't failing to meet their like levels of performance output because they were basically in the testing phases of all of these experiments that they were getting put under. And the government was like, nah, this isn't worth it. We're not going to kill you, but like we're just going to chuck you up on the street. So this is kind of like some

Losers 18 suicide squad type is A little bit, not so much a team though It's still very much the POV of Peter Yeah He's down with luck not having a great time I think the biggest draw for this for me Honestly was like the page design and the art It's pretty good

And I really kind of like the new futuristic spawn design I just wish we got more of You know like the setup for this character. I think it's too front-loaded a bit in the origin story of Peter rather than kind of just throwing him into, oh my God, who's this demon?

And then we can learn about you along the way because I kind of like that more. That's the draw. That's why I picked up this issue. And I feel like it's kind of a bit too thick in the weeds of like, all right, well, this is clearly just like a soldier and he's tough and he's gritty. And it's very much this like,

like 80s judge dread edge lordy type of stuff which again like it's part for the course for spawn but i want spawn here yeah no i i i agree i think like we've talked a lot about you know on this podcast another podcast about you know seeing like more like new stuff you know like new content and i think it's been a minute since we've seen spawn and like anything you know it's all like video games like you've been show to moral combat you know keep david get to check for that but in terms of like a TV show or like a film or something. Like we don't really, we don't, we don't hear that. So, I mean, see my comic page is nice, but again, it's literally one page.

Yeah. And if you don't accrue the cover. All right. I'm willing to give this one more issue only because I would love to know what we start to work with when Spawn enters the mix. Yeah. I think what will get me though probably is when Spawn starts to talk and then I hear Keith David and then I'm on board him again.

Here's the thing. When you read Deadpool, did you hear Ryan Reynolds' voice? I heard, I heard... I did not. I heard no one. I was about to say, No one. Yeah.

Come on. That's right. That's my Deadpool. I'm not going to lie. Like, I don't know what he did in that video game, but like, that's... That video game should be illegal. That... It's, it's...

The X, like, we talk, like, the X-Mobile games are, like, low-key fire. Oh, my God. The Wolverine game? Orgens Wolverine? Better than the movie. Way better than the movie. The movie. And then the Deadpool video game is like, I mean, so meta, so fun.

Like, when I read Deadpool, I hear Nolan North. When he just goes up to a urinal and smack the dude on the ass. So nuts. That's harassment. So nuts. It's nuts. I'm so sorry. Anyway.

Sporn in the future. It was fine. We liked it. Like to see more. Fun art. Arts really good. I think image has... Image is on like a good heater

with saga and all of its staples, bringing back spawn in the future and having a design and sort of an interesting story like this to know that he is... that he can rupture through time and space and be effective in different timelines and different states and futures.

Like, that's cool. Yeah. I really like that a lot. I would like to know a bit more. again, just a bit like some, I need some nutrition here. I need some of the thing that brought me into this and I didn't quite get

fulfilled. I get true. I get true. Slightly disappointing on the rat city front, but before we go, we've got some stray recommendations, mainly one in the form of what Jomey had read. He's got it right now, it's a big, wonderful volume on the table.

Big chunky boy. I know if you all saw the Instagram video I was talking about earlier about the Flash, but if you did, I'm reading this little thing. It's the Legend of Corr, ruins of the empire collection, like of all the stuff.

This is created by Breke. Obviously, Brian can, all right, you know, no, I'm not even gonna try. See? I'm not gonna try.

No, it's just, it's just worked. Created by the same people who created, you know, after the last San Breder and Legend of Kor.

And it's about what happened after, after season four, you know? and Kereva Kareva Kavira It's about like Kovira

And then her Like I don't say growth But her growing up And then Her and Kora having to work together To You know Save the world again

Which is kind of crazy Funny how the world Just keeps Well when you're the Avatar You know what I'm saying Like there's not really any There's no conflict There's no show

Yeah that's fair Imagine just like an avatar show Adversity Advights challenge As Vision would say That's what he says right if you know nothing's going on then nothing's going on but in this one Kavira and Korra got to work together and I'm enjoying it you know they got Mako and who sucks but you know what can you do and obviously look

Be a D1 loser. That's what I'm saying. And we can't even get into, like, him actually being a police officer.

You know what I mean? And all we don't got to get into that stuff. You had two, two beautiful women just, like, who was like, I want nothing to do. Like, I'm a loser. You're a loser. All they wanted to do was be with you. He was like, you know what? I'm a fumble both of them.

Mm-hmm. Generational numbers. Generational. A quick hitter off between Charles Xavier and Mocko, go. I mean, at the end of the day, like. Charles Xavier is a piece of shit. He's terrible. He's the thing about, his thing about Charles Xavier.

At least he, at least he try, though. No I'm saying? Does he? I never see Mocko try. He gives a, I'm too cool for anything vibe. You're right. Which is nasty work. It's nasty work.
