Come on.
0:13
Let's get to it. My favorite cover is
0:16
Sinister Sinister Six number two Six
0:20
by Ivan Chavern. Uh I just love the
0:23
composition here. I if you listen to me
0:25
all the time, I I talk about background
0:27
and foreground. background for when it
0:28
comes to covers a lot. And look what we
0:30
got here. We've got a sliced up Venom
0:32
and behind him is Wolverine in his Age
0:34
of Revelation costume.
0:36
And I just love the chunks that are
0:39
being created by the slashing of the of
0:42
the Venom's face. It is impossible for
0:44
this to actually look this way. I mean,
0:46
look, it's like he's made of jelly. It's
0:48
there's no brains in there.
0:51
I mean, he's a symbiote, so
0:54
maybe there is no human inside. That's
0:55
true. But there's like red blood
0:57
spraying off the sides. Uh I just love
1:00
that it's also almost like a puzzle. I
1:01
want to put it back together. Uh so
1:04
yeah. Uh and there's like little details
1:06
here and there like drool. Uh again, go
1:08
to acoms.com if you're listening to see
1:10
this cover. The teeth look cool. Uh I
1:13
love the longer thinner eyes. Almost has
1:16
like a Jay Lee kind of style to it. Um
1:19
as far as the the forming of Venom here.
1:21
But yeah, I dig it.
1:23
Yeah, that looks sick.
1:26
What was your favorite cover of the
1:27
week?
1:28
Favorite cover is my god, look at that.
1:32
Um, it's Hayden Sherman's. It's the main
1:35
cover for Batman Dark Patterns number
1:38
12. A comic that I have never once read.
1:41
Um,
1:42
and it has sounded amazing, but I've I'm
1:45
just not.
1:45
You talk about it every week and clearly
1:47
you don't listen or care about my
1:49
opinion.
1:50
Biggest Batman guy. And I have never
1:52
read it. I've never heard that me myself
1:54
either.
1:55
But this cover, I have never been so
1:58
attracted to shadows. Um.
2:01
Oo. Whoa.
2:02
Yeah. Uh, it it's so gorgeous. The
2:06
coloring is amazing. I mean, the
2:09
coloring and the shadows. I don't know.
2:13
Just the bandages and his muscles. It is
2:17
just like really sexy, really dark. Uh,
2:22
a great visualization of like the
2:24
darkness that Bruce holds within him.
2:28
Um, it also kind of reminds me of that
2:30
one iconic
2:32
naked page of Bruce in that one Black
2:35
Label comic where they show his full log
2:38
and then in the new edition they have to
2:41
take it out. And I'm like, yeah, no,
2:43
this is the thing. I went to the press
2:46
event where they announced that and they
2:48
gave us a copy and it's it's there is no
2:51
shadowing. I think it's even worse than
2:53
the one that came out. It's so visible.
2:56
That's amazing. And I just have to know
2:58
if Hayden drew Bruce's Nether Regions
3:02
and then just black them out for the
3:04
cover. Like if I was drawing this, I
3:05
would not be able to resist putting
3:07
something there.
3:08
He's just full masked.
3:10
Exactly.
3:12
No, the the pop of
3:14
the pop of the the bandages is really
3:16
cool. It almost gives me a Tim Sail vibe
3:18
to it. I don't I can't really pinpoint
3:20
why, but um
3:21
yeah, really striking and and the use of
3:24
blue is it really gives you that,
3:27
you know, the sense that Bruce is, you
3:29
know, going through the blues.
3:31
Yeah. Depression,
3:33
struggling. And again, his muscles are
3:35
just like illustrated gorgeously.
3:37
They're It's really cool. I
3:38
So, this might be one of the horniest
3:41
episodes Alex ever had. Guy is whol
3:46
for Bruce. I feel like there's a
3:47
threesome coming off air, of course.
3:50
God,
