Come on.
0:13
>> Moving on to our next segment. Standout
0:18
>> moment of the week. Wow. I I didn't I I
0:22
started talking before you finished.
0:24
>> I was I was excited this week.
0:26
>> I always like to start before you
0:27
finish. Um, this is where we talk about
0:30
our favorite panel on our page from any
0:31
comic that came out this week. All's
0:33
fair and love and war. What was your
0:35
favorite panel of the week?
0:37
>> Um, I mentioned this one earlier. This
0:39
is from Sorcerer Supreme number six, uh,
0:42
written by Steve Orlando with art by
0:44
Bernard Chang. Um, you know, this is uh
0:48
Somnness, the king, the mutant king of
0:52
dreams, ripping the sk the entire spine
0:56
and head out of Nightmare's body inside
0:59
of Wiccan's dream. Um, I love this
1:01
entire issue. I thought the art was
1:03
gorgeous. I thought it was like a really
1:05
good uh like
1:08
cast issue, like more than just Wanda.
1:11
Um, Somnus hasn't been seen really since
1:14
the fall of Koa. And even on KCOA, his
1:17
powers weren't utilized very well. He
1:20
was in the Marauders with like Psylock
1:22
and Cassandra Nova, and it was fine. But
1:26
they really displayed his power in this
1:28
comic. He's able to wake up every single
1:32
sleeping person on the entire on the
1:35
entirety of Earth. Um, and then this
1:37
scene, I mean, talk about like Redband,
1:39
like horrifying murderous stuff. And he
1:43
doesn't even know if he killed Nightmare
1:45
or not. He's like, "Yeah, I might have.
1:48
Who knows?" Um, I I was pretty shocked
1:52
and impressed by this. Uh, and I think
1:56
the the splurge is is a great sound.
1:59
>> That's the best thing. I love that
2:00
sound. I love how it's like sketchy,
2:03
>> the drawing of it. Uh if you c if you're
2:06
listening, you can see this on
2:07
amputecommerce.com. Uh you know what?
2:09
Why this isn't redband, not red blood.
2:13
>> Yeah, 100%. Literally, it's just the red
2:16
blood. I was Oh, yeah. I just saved a
2:19
video on TikTok that was like a
2:21
compilation of like every horrifying
2:24
Mortal Kombat like kill and all the
2:28
blood is green. And I'm like, why do
2:30
these [ __ ] think that that is going
2:32
to like change someone's perception of
2:34
something?
2:35
>> That's a big thing. I think it's in
2:36
China. I don't know if it's still a
2:38
thing, but video games would have to
2:39
switch the color to be able to be sold
2:42
in that country.
2:42
>> I don't know if it's China, but there's
2:43
some country that changes it to white,
2:45
and it always looks like there's jizz
2:47
blasting over everyone. And it's like
2:49
one of my favorite things on the
2:51
internet. It's like so much more rated X
2:53
than if it was just below.
2:56
>> Do you ever think sometimes it's more
2:57
rated X because of the way you think?
3:00
>> Literally. Yes. Uh well, I mean, you
3:04
know, I am pretty rated X. Uh what was
3:06
your favorite uh moment of the week?
3:08
>> I liked a double page splash from side
3:10
dimensional rivals number five by Peter
3:11
Moa and friends.
3:14
This is
3:16
basically a collage of act of art from
3:19
the previous issues. This is the final
3:20
issue of the five issue mini and it's a
3:23
collage of all of the main artists art
3:26
kind of making this these shards that
3:29
culminate to an incredible um moment of
3:34
Psylock in the center kind of like
3:36
floating.
3:37
And I'm very curious how this was made.
3:40
Like this is Peach's baby this whole
3:42
book. So maybe she plucked all the art
3:45
and then did some photoshopping to make
3:47
them look cracked and cut. But it's very
3:50
cool and I think as a showcase for all
3:53
of these artists who got to do whatever
3:54
they wanted in their little vignettes,
3:57
uh, a really cool way to like show it
4:00
all in one and celebrate all of these
4:02
artists uh, in one double page splash.
4:06
Now, I won't get into the issue itself.
4:09
I mean, it doesn't really accomplish a
4:10
lot, but it sure looks great, and that's
4:13
the whole point of the book. So, I think
4:14
Peach knocked it out of the park. I'd
4:16
love to see her do this again with
4:18
another bunch of different artists. Uh
4:20
because, you know, we've talked about
4:22
multiple issues and you've had kapows
4:25
from some of these like um
4:27
>> Mike Dondo's uh snail guy or not snail
4:31
caterpillar. Yes. My favorite.
4:33
>> But talk about a great way to see all of
4:36
the art in one big picture and make you
4:39
want to read it all again.
4:41
>> Yeah. I think I really love this as like
4:45
a showcase of, you know, comic talent. I
4:48
think it would be really cool if um
4:50
Marvel did this with their like
4:51
Stormbreers because, you know, they do
4:53
the Storm Breakers as like the special
4:56
covers, but like what if they gave each
4:58
of them a part of an interior issue? I
5:01
think that would be like awesome.
5:04
>> Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
5:06
Yeah. And it would it would be a cool
5:08
way to like honor them in a different
5:10
way, not just having them making variant
5:12
covers and being exclusive to Marvel.
5:16
>> Agreed.
