Come on.

Moving on to our next segment.
0:20
Standout
0:22
moment of the week. Alex over here with
0:25
the hands. He's with the hands. He's
0:27
ready. He's ready. Uh, this is where we
0:30
talk about our favorite panel or page,
0:33
our favorite moments. We're calling it
0:35
out after reading 80 books or whatever.
0:39
Alex,
0:40
talk about your pick.
0:41
Yeah, it's so funny. We both picked full
0:43
page spreads, which doesn't usually
0:45
happen with Kapow. Um, I picked this one
0:48
because I was like, "This is dope as
0:49
hell." And then I was like, "Oh, is it
0:51
like too generic or something?" And then
0:54
I immediately went on Twitter and saw
0:56
someone posting it saying, "This is the
0:58
dopest thing I've ever seen." And I was
1:00
like, "Okay, I chose."
1:01
It's super fun. I mean, this series has
1:03
been super fun. What is the series?
1:05
Comics. It's just comics. It's like such
1:08
an essence of comics in a way that I'm
1:10
like, "God, this is why I love this
1:12
medium." Um, so this panel or page is
1:15
from Godzilla destroys the Marvel
1:17
Universe number four uh from Jerry Dugen
1:21
with Paco Medina and the artist of this
1:24
particular page is Javier Garon um whose
1:28
art I do in general just love. But
1:31
basically uh to fight Godzilla um Tchala
1:36
has created the Mecca Adaptoid Centurion
1:39
Mark A, but the A is the Avengers logo.
1:43
Um and it is a Yes, it is a massive like
1:48
Pacific Rim Kaiju fighting robot. But
1:53
what's cool is that there's not just
1:54
like one or two pilots in it. It is
1:56
piloted by the heroes of the Marvel
2:00
universe. Um,
2:03
a very eclectic mashup of Avengers,
2:06
X-Men, Fantastic 4. Um, so just really
2:10
quickly, all the hero heroes that are
2:12
represented are Iron Man, Doctor
2:14
Strange, uh, War Machine, Magic, Thor,
2:19
Cyclops, Miles Morales, Peter Parker,
2:23
Tchala, Johnny Storm,
2:26
Storm, Northstar, and Quicksilver.
2:30
and Northstar and Quicksilver are. The
2:32
cool thing about this is that everyone's
2:35
powers are related to their location in
2:39
the body of this mech suit. I think it's
2:42
really cool that Quicksilver and
2:43
Northstar with their super speed are the
2:46
feet.
2:47
Do you think they're like on a treadmill
2:48
or something?
2:50
Yeah, running. Maybe Storm and Johnny
2:54
Storm. Human Torch are the uh power
2:58
cells of the of the robot. Basically,
3:02
both in the legs. Tchala is the heart.
3:06
Both Spider-Man's are in the um gloves.
3:10
I'm assuming they're going to be like
3:11
shooting out like tech webbing or
3:13
something.
3:14
Yeah, there seems to be some sort of
3:15
cannon here with Spider-Man.
3:16
Yes. Uh Thor and um
3:22
War Machine are also doing their own
3:24
like empowered stuff.
3:28
Doctor Strange is what?
3:30
Magic's in the forearm on the other side
3:32
as well.
3:32
Yes. I'm assuming a soul sword is going
3:34
to like come out of the arm.
3:37
Mhm.
3:38
Uh Doctor Strange is kind of like in the
3:41
brain probably like telepathically
3:43
helping them all like communicate and
3:45
stay in sync. And then obviously I'm an
3:48
X-Men boy. Cyclops is in the eyes and
3:52
he's in a room created by Tchala that is
3:55
fully built out of red ruby. Of course
3:58
it's ruby ruby quartz which are the
4:02
crystals in his visors that refract and
4:06
refine his
4:08
Ibeams. Um,
4:11
God, what a just it's not only like fun
4:14
and campy and ridiculous, but it's also
4:16
like smart. Like, it is, you know, you
4:20
thought about this. They put some
4:21
thought,
4:22
but they thought about this,
4:24
right?
4:24
Makes me think of like the Marvel
4:26
anatomy book. Like, you know, they're
4:27
really about like what body parts
4:30
represent each of these heroes. Um, and
4:33
I'm excited. You we don't actually see
4:35
it in action against Godzilla. Um,
4:37
that's kind of the cliffhanger. So yeah,
4:39
I can't wait.
4:41
But the issue had tons of fun with Hulk
4:43
versus Godzilla and some other crazy
4:45
ideas. The book is just constantly
4:46
throwing big ideas at you. So I'm sure
4:49
when they do the followup with uh
4:51
Godzilla as null, it should be quite
4:53
quite fun.
4:54
And Pacqua Medina's Godzilla is just so
4:57
like cute. Like he has like little he
5:02
like look has the same eyes as like my
5:03
cat. like just little tiny kitty eyes
5:06
and then like will absolutely rip you
5:09
apart.
5:10
This is true.
5:12
What is your favorite kapow?
5:14
My favorite is an incredible full page.
5:17
It's not a full page spread, but it's uh
5:20
it's a page from One World Under Doom or
5:23
Ape by Ryan North and RB Silva. And I
5:26
wanted to actually show the last page,
5:28
but I think it's too spoilery to show
5:30
that. So, I wanted to show this moment
5:33
where the entire issue is the hero is
5:36
doing everything they can to stop Dr.
5:39
Doom and he stops them every time or
5:42
bounces back at least. And he gives like
5:46
a final not death but almost death blow
5:49
as he tells us in the captions, sending
5:52
these shards at every single hero
5:56
just so they will feel the pain in their
5:59
bones. basically making so every single
6:02
one of them will never strike back back
6:04
against him again for fear of him. It's
6:07
his ultimate final move essentially and
6:11
it seems to have won him to battle. In
6:14
this page you're seeing here, if you go
6:16
to aptcoms.com, you can see the page in
6:18
full on this podcast post. You can see
6:20
the the the really the coloring in this
6:23
entire issue is stunning. all these
6:25
energy effects and we've got like a
6:27
godly doom with almost angel wings at
6:30
the top of the page.
6:31
And our heroes, you can't even make them
6:34
out. There's no detail. They're just
6:35
blocks of of yellow and white light as
6:38
if they've been magized by his magic.
6:41
That's not a word, but you know what I
6:43
mean. And as you scroll down, you see
6:46
the smack smack smack all the the shards
6:50
hitting our heroes and see and we see
6:52
their pain. It's really gripping and it
6:55
really makes the cliffhanger, which I
6:57
won't spoil, so freaking shocking. It is
7:01
the ultimate gut punch to the reader and
7:04
to another character. I won't say who
7:06
because that'll spoil it. And man, I
7:10
can't believe how hard Marvel's going
7:12
with their mainline books. There's the
7:14
the final page has gore
7:17
that is worse than most red bands. I
7:19
think
7:20
when I completely agree. At first, I was
7:22
like, "This event projection is going on
7:25
too long." But now I'm like, "Oo, every
7:27
issue of this mainline one world under
7:29
doom has been really good." Um, as my
7:32
friend and fellow AIP reviewer Jonathan
7:34
Jones texted me, this issue was gaggy.
7:38
It was gaggy as hell. I was gagging. Um,
7:42
yeah, this was brilliant. you know,
7:44
Doom's use of his armor and destroying
7:49
almost his sense of help, sense of self
7:52
to take out the heroic community um was
7:56
really
7:58
powerful in like a messed up way. I also
8:01
like that they include Wolverine in this
8:02
cuz if Wolverine is in this much pain,
8:04
that means you know your attack was
8:07
really damaging.
8:08
Didn't he just take his powers away
8:10
though? I guess he got him back already.
8:12
Yeah, I think he used chaos magic to
8:16
take the X powers away and then somehow
8:18
they came back pretty quickly. Something
8:20
because he mentions he was he's not much
8:21
of a as a monster as Scarlet Witch or
8:23
something like that.
8:25
Yeah,
8:25
that was that was great.
8:26
There was some I saw some some major
8:29
beef between like Jean Gay fans and
8:32
Scarlet Witch fans being like chaos
8:34
magic can take all Oh my god. I was like
8:36
everyone needs to shut up and read the
8:38
comments.
8:38
It's fiction. It's fiction.
8:40
Yeah. Um, yeah. No, the last page, like
8:43
you were saying, um, graphic, really
8:45
graphic. I didn't even
8:48
the bottom third of the page in
8:50
particular has a very graphic
8:52
part of it. And I was just looking at
8:54
the top two/3s and I was like, "Wow,
8:56
this is pretty violent." And then my
8:57
eyes pinned down and I was like, "Oh,
9:00
it is like subtle in the way that that
9:02
Marvel used to try to hide uh gore or
9:05
violence, but it's not subtle enough."
9:07
Nope. really
9:08
there dialogue box covering this injury.
9:11
It's
9:13
Yeah, it's wild. It's
9:16
