Come on.

Moving on to our next segment. Judging
0:15
by the cover Junior, our favorite cover
0:18
art out next week. I can't get over this
0:21
Leonol Francis Woos Predator Kills the
0:24
Marvel Universe cover. Uh, it is so
0:27
iconic. It is. Of course, if you see
0:29
really closely down here, it says after
0:31
BWS,
0:33
uh, when an artist homagees another
0:35
cover, it's it's fair play. Is fair play
0:38
the right word? It's, uh, it's a nice
0:40
touch to put that
0:41
standard. Yeah. Respect. Respect.
0:44
Exactly. Um, this was just, it's just,
0:47
it's mimicking, of course, uh, Batman
0:49
vers Predator, which was iconic for my
0:52
youth. And it's it's the same, but it's
0:56
not. I mean, a Predator as Weapon X.
0:58
Like, how freaking cool is that? I might
1:01
my inner child is just screaming. Of
1:03
course, though, there's tons of great
1:04
detail. It's almost like a mist over
1:06
here on the image uh around his head.
1:10
Uh
1:12
somehow the helmet just works with a
1:14
Predator. I don't know. Even though I
1:16
think the Predator's head is like twice
1:17
the size of a humans, I guess they could
1:19
just make any kind of helmet fit. I just
1:21
love also the Weapon X aesthetic is like
1:24
it's just like thrown together like they
1:26
built it in a freaking garage.
1:29
Yeah, I know. I I like it too. It almost
1:31
looks like like the Death Star on his
1:33
head.
1:34
Oh my god. You know, I didn't think of
1:35
it that way.
1:36
X helmet.
1:38
And you know, this is beautiful. You is
1:40
so talented. Um sometimes I like am
1:42
like, "Oh, I hate when there's just like
1:44
a solid color background, but there's
1:46
actually so much detail in this that I
1:47
think it would take away from the cover
1:49
to like have you know, uh, like a
1:52
landscape in the background. Like I love
1:54
that it draws your focus so solely on
1:57
the details of the Predator. Um, so
2:00
yeah, very cool.
2:01
The accuracy is incredible, too, because
2:03
if you I don't know if you know this,
2:04
but in every Predator movie, you
2:06
actually Lionel Francis U's name after
2:08
BWS is written on every uh, left-handed
2:12
claw, just like it's
2:13
Yeah. No, I've I've seen that Easter egg
2:15
and I'm like, "Wow, they must pay him a
2:17
lot." And John F Johnclaude Vanam was
2:19
the original Predator. Did you know
2:20
that?
2:22
Is that true?
2:23
Yeah, it is. Uh they said, "Hey, this
2:25
this Predous monster is a little short."
2:27
So they recast
2:30
videos like a really hot guy who played
2:34
the alien on Alien Earth.
2:37
Like he's just this like really hot buff
2:40
dude who like gets into this costume as
2:43
this like disgusting monsters. I'm like,
2:46
what a funny career thing. I like love
2:48
it.
2:48
That's true. And what was your cover?
2:52
I mean, look at this. Am I Do I need to
2:54
say anything? Um,
2:55
well, for the listeners,
2:57
for the Okay, I guess I keep on
2:59
forgetting that this is recorded and
3:00
audio. I do need to say something. Sorry
3:02
listeners. I love you all.
3:05
Um, this is David Tilas's variant for
3:08
Absolute Wonder Woman number 13. Um, I
3:12
mean, I love a Tilasi. Uh, I'm like
3:15
always going to pull a Tilasi. His art
3:18
is just so good. Um, and you know, I've
3:21
gotten used to really appreciating some
3:23
of his more male cheesecakey uh, covers
3:27
and art. That's what like really made me
3:29
fall in love with Tilasi's work. But
3:32
this, I mean, just like the aura and the
3:35
vibes emanating off of Diana in this
3:40
comic are just so intense. I think it
3:42
captures her spirit really really
3:44
effectively. Um,
3:47
and it also really captures her like
3:50
history as being like a denisin of hell.
3:54
She is a dark dark hero from a universe
3:59
whose core has been corrupted. Um, and
4:03
yet she's like still fighting for the
4:05
light. And I think this cover just like
4:07
really represents that.
4:08
It's very witchy the way the hair is lit
4:10
in the from the back.
4:12
And she's also just like serving a look.
4:14
That face like her makeup is beat. I'm
4:18
like, she looks
4:18
I want to wear black lipstick like
4:20
everywhere I go now. Just like looking
4:21
at this.
4:22
100%. And those eyebrows. I'm like,
4:24
"Okay, girl. God, don't look at me like
4:25
that."
4:26
Oh my god. Is she like goth on the
4:28
weekends? Do you think?
4:30
I think she's goth every day, my friend.
4:31
She rides a skeletal horse.
4:35
Pegasus.
4:36
Get it right.
