0:27
>> Moment of the week. our favorite panel
0:29
or page and on deck. Alex, what is this
0:33
bloody body I'm looking at here?
0:36
>> Yeah, I mean, look at this [ __ ] Uh,
0:39
this is art by Luchiano Vetio, which is
0:42
crazy cuz he makes such like light
0:44
beautiful superhero art and then this
0:47
like devastation.
0:49
This is Uncanny X-Men number 28, uh,
0:52
Gail Simone uh, and Vatio. This uh comic
0:57
has really been leaning into horror the
0:59
past like issues. They like had the
1:02
whole monster uh arc with like
1:06
>> uh all the different with was it Lilith?
1:09
It turned out to be Lilith or somebody
1:11
um was controlling all of them. Uh, so
1:15
this is in Grey Milk in Prison, which uh
1:18
X-Men fans have been griping about for
1:21
like a year because it was debuted as
1:23
this like horrific prison camp for
1:25
mutants and then they just like threw a
1:27
bunch of mutants in there and have not
1:29
done anything with it in like months and
1:31
months and months and they've slowly
1:34
been inching towards plot development at
1:36
the prison. So, I was I thought this was
1:38
a great issue. I was excited to read it.
1:40
It would probably be my like number
1:42
three of the week if we uh rated top
1:44
three. Um what you're seeing here is the
1:49
possession of the dead mutant scurvy by
1:54
the psychic mutant perimeter who is the
1:59
evil brother of the anti-mutant bigot
2:03
Karina or Dr. Ellis who runs
2:06
>> who used to be a podcaster
2:09
>> and Scurvy this dead person who this guy
2:13
is inhabiting is the exboyfriend of his
2:18
sister Karina who's in the back of the
2:20
frame. [ __ ] me. Complex as hell.
2:24
>> That's X-Men for you.
2:26
>> What? Yeah. Literally that's
2:27
>> everything in X-Men is like a I'm from
2:29
the future but I'm also your sister and
2:30
I'm also over here.
2:32
>> Exactly. Um, I mean, I thought this
2:34
scene was great. I love when people do
2:36
red uh text bubbles for evil [ __ ]
2:39
Um, he's so like
2:42
>> his name's Oscar, I think. Right.
2:44
>> What
2:45
>> was his isn't his name Oscar? This guy?
2:47
>> Yes. But he was like, "Don't call me
2:48
Oscar anymore. Oscar's dead. Call me
2:50
Perimeter." Um,
2:52
>> who's also Inmate X? The secret guy
2:54
who's behind the prison.
2:55
>> Yes, he's also Inmate X. which is crazy
2:57
that Inmate X isn't anyone from the
3:00
comics for how much they built up Inmate
3:02
X. Like from before the fall of KCOA,
3:05
we've been hearing about Inmate X. Like
3:07
insane that it's just like a naked man.
3:10
Um
3:11
>> he's only naked cuz he took over this
3:13
person's body, right?
3:14
>> Yeah. He's giving like anti-Jesus. Like
3:17
it looks like Jesus on the cross, but
3:18
he's a demon.
3:20
>> The way it drapes, you're so right. I
3:22
didn't
3:22
>> Yeah. It's very like biblical in some
3:25
ways. And you know, Marvel will show
3:27
dead people, but like to show the scene
3:30
before this is this guy like slicing the
3:32
throat of a doctor to death.
3:35
>> Yeah.
3:36
>> Often things are like polybagged if
3:38
they're like this graphic with the
3:40
blood. So, it was pretty pretty [ __ ]
3:42
bloody for just like a run-of-the-mill
3:46
>> X-Men comic. Um,
3:48
>> 100%. Yeah. You know, I also really like
3:52
this because it establishes a great
3:54
dynamic between Perimeter and his sister
3:57
Karina that mirrors Monae St. Craw and
4:02
her brother Marius or Emplate. And Monae
4:07
is a prisoner of Grey Malcin prison is
4:10
going to be a part of this rebellion
4:12
that I'm assuming frees all the mutants
4:14
from Grey Malcin's control. and her
4:18
brother is this evil like soul sucking
4:21
mutant. So, it's an interesting thing
4:23
where Karina, this woman of color who's
4:26
like an anti-mutant psycho, is like
4:28
mirroring the relation sibling
4:31
relationship that Monae has with Mplate,
4:33
which um which I do enjoy.
4:36
>> Interesting. Huh. I wonder if they'll
4:38
unpack that next issue since u Monaet is
4:41
going to be punching this guy in the
4:43
mouth.
4:44
>> Exactly. Monet is going to be a central
4:46
part of it. And you know, Karina only
4:49
became an anti-mutant bigot because her
4:52
brother was a sociopath who tortured her
4:55
her entire childhood and killed their
4:58
parents. So like I'm also like gh how
5:00
dare you Gail for causing me to feel
5:02
empathy towards this like literal like
5:05
prison camp warden. like she
5:10
I probably would also have found a
5:13
hatred towards mutants if this guy did
5:16
this to me. So, it was it was a good
5:18
issue and a a pretty shocking moment.
5:20
>> Do you think he has anything to do with
5:21
the outliers or is that a whole separate
5:23
thing?
5:24
girl. I don't [ __ ] know because he's
5:27
also consider there's also like the
5:29
whole like aven plot
5:31
>> like they revealed that like
5:36
>> Xavier is like like anyone who does mind
5:39
stuff is an I don't
5:42
>> Gambit has wings now too so he's like
5:44
aven.
5:45
>> Yeah,
5:46
>> I guess. So,
5:48
>> uh, my panel favorite page, double page
5:50
splash of the week comes from Hidden
5:53
Springs number one, which we just talked
5:55
about. Kind of opposite vibe. Uh, less
5:58
scary, more well, it's got a kind of
6:00
scariness to it. It's the reveal of our
6:02
baby Kaiju.
6:04
>> Scary.
6:06
>> I think it's the chubbiness of the arms,
6:08
but also the flappiness of his weird
6:11
lips that make him so cute. Although the
6:14
goooness makes it weird and gross. And
6:18
this is the moment where our main
6:19
characters witness the kaiju for the
6:21
first time and are in complete shock and
6:23
awe. And I just think the scope of this
6:27
thing's size across two pages is really
6:29
well done. But also the use of the
6:31
foreground with our main characters in
6:33
the bottom left. By the way, if you
6:34
can't if you're listening to this, you
6:35
have to go to aptcom.com to see it what
6:37
I'm talking about. Uh but the foreground
6:40
in the uh bottom left and then the the
6:42
midground with our monster and then the
6:44
trees in the background. There's just a
6:45
really good composition here. And your
6:47
eye of course wants to go left to right
6:49
and it does uh with this giant cute
6:53
chubby monster.
6:56
>> Yeah, this was a great reveal. He really
6:58
reminds me, especially because of his
7:00
mouth of um Zoidberg from Futurama and
7:04
like possible way.
7:06
>> That's funny. Maybe he's related.
7:09
>> Yeah, cousin.
7:10
>> I think Futurama is coming back, so you
7:12
know, maybe there's some sort of
7:13
>> what
7:14
>> for like the 18th 18th time. That's
7:16
crazy.
7:16
>> Yeah, I I didn't see when, but I saw the
7:19
announcement that it's returning for
7:20
another season.
7:22
>> Nice pick, man.
7:31
>> Come on.
