0:20
Daddy daddy judging
0:23
longest running uh judging by the cover
0:26
columnist at AIP. Longest running column
0:28
as well. letting people know why cover
0:32
art is great and which ones are great
0:34
every week. Uh on this show we like to
0:37
highlight it too because cover artists
0:38
need credit too. It's a big part of
0:40
selling comics and
0:41
absolutely
0:42
we love comics. Uh let's start with my
0:45
favorite cover of the week. I really
0:47
liked Stephanie Hans I know. I'm sorry I
0:49
cut you off. I'm so rude. Amazing X-Men
0:53
number two. Uh of course this is magic.
0:56
Or is it? I don't know. We're going to
0:58
have to read the comic to find out cuz
1:01
dead.
1:03
Uh this is the demonic version of of of
1:06
uh magic. And anyway, uh the detailing
1:09
here is really cool. The the jewelry on
1:13
the horns is particularly cool. Uh, I
1:16
think it it actually kind of is a
1:18
character element, too, because she's in
1:20
this form so long that she can like put
1:22
hooks into her horns and wear it,
1:25
but she's also like breathing out souls
1:27
or skulls here. It's very Halloweeny.
1:30
Um, if only it came out a week earlier.
1:33
And uh the the waterc coloring in the
1:36
background. Stephanie is getting better
1:38
and better every year. Like she was
1:40
amazing and stunning when she did die.
1:42
That's saying a lot. uh to just get
1:45
better from where she already was is
1:47
mindblowing.
1:49
It's and it's it's really cool to
1:51
discover an artist early and then see
1:54
them evolve and I'm very curious to see
1:56
how her style evolves uh in the future.
1:58
But uh what is your favorite cover of
1:59
the week?
2:00
My favorite cover uh is the Erica
2:03
Henderson main for uh Harley and Ivy
2:06
Life and Crimes number one. I mean I'm
2:08
I'm always a sucker just for like any
2:11
Harley and Ivy story. Uh, I I love that.
2:14
That's my favorite kind of couple in all
2:16
of comic stuff. But I just love the idea
2:19
of
2:21
kind of like giving us like a a sense of
2:25
like not only how they've kind of
2:27
changed over the years, but how kind of
2:29
related and connected the two have been
2:32
either as friends or allies or enemies
2:35
or, you know, just random people in kind
2:37
of the Bat family universe
2:40
while they've been kind of changing. And
2:41
it just feels like such a really solid
2:44
kind of like history lesson translated
2:47
into this really kind of cool visual
2:50
with the, you know, stripes of time. And
2:53
I that to me it just spells like
2:56
success for a book because it's going to
2:58
be something that, you know, hopefully
3:01
goes deep into the kind of their their
3:02
relationship and their what they've done
3:04
and the thing that they've built. And I
3:07
I just it's such a great
3:09
seemingly simple probably really
3:11
technically demanding but just like such
3:13
a cool
3:15
idea and such a great execution and you
3:17
get such a deep sense of both
3:19
characters. So I I'm excited. It's
3:21
everything a charact like this should do
3:24
which is just you know give you some
3:26
idea of what the book is going to be and
3:29
make you feel excited. So
3:32
I am excited. tell the you know it's
3:35
funny when I when I looked at this
3:37
earlier today when you when you when you
3:39
picked it I
3:41
didn't immediately notice the striping
3:43
this
3:43
Yeah
3:44
and and now that I'm looking at it is
3:45
it's quite interesting
3:47
I didn't even notice that at first
3:49
glance and it's a it's a clever way to
3:52
show this is exploring two different
3:53
timelines
3:55
Erica's so good always so good too
3:58
super great
4:00
another artist that's outside the box
4:02
when it comes to superheroes But DC's
4:04
Well, yeah. When you give them a chance,
4:06
turns out they do great superhero work.
