Moving
0:13
on to our next segment, stand out the
0:16
pow.
0:17
Moment of the week, our favorite panel
0:19
or page. This is where we pluck
0:20
something we can't get over. We have to
0:23
talk about how good it is. Even though
0:24
we gave G gave you our top two books of
0:26
the week, we have to keep talking about
0:28
how great uh comics are. Uh CJ, what is
0:32
your favorite panel or page of the week?
0:35
Mine has to be Teenage Mutant Ninja
0:38
Turtles issue 12 by Juan Ferraria. Like
0:41
I've been reviewing the TMNT run and
0:47
Ferraria's arc is a large part of White
0:49
Lori, but this age right here is just
0:52
absolutely gorgeous. As you can see, the
0:54
turtles are fighting
0:57
former district attorney Hail, who has
0:59
been transformed by Kar's magic into
1:01
some sort of
1:03
Chimera.
1:04
He's like, uh, who's that green guy in
1:07
Street Fighter?
1:08
Blanca.
1:09
Blanca. By the way, if you're listening
1:11
to this, you can see this art on ampt
1:13
comics.com on this podcast post. I know
1:15
you can't necessarily see it unless
1:16
you're watching this on YouTube, but go
1:18
ahead. But yes, it looks like something
1:22
torn out a nightmare. And we see uh the
1:24
turtles doing their best. You know,
1:27
Donnie has been grabbed by his tongue.
1:29
Leo is his paws.
1:32
Mikey lost his nunchucks and Ralph is
1:36
fighting him off. So yeah, it's pure
1:40
chaos. But the way Ferio draws it, you
1:44
can't help but sit and drink in every
1:46
detail. Mhm.
1:48
So, yeah,
1:48
I love I love how the background's like
1:50
a little bit blurry, but also there's
1:52
like speed lines on the top left to
1:54
create that speed of the the beast ch
1:56
like smashing them.
1:59
Honestly, that's what Buria does best.
2:01
It feels like his characters are
2:02
actually moving. A third is
2:05
like there's was another one he did
2:07
where they were on the subway and it was
2:09
like you know
2:11
Leo was cutting through ninjas on one
2:14
and Mikey was spinning around and
2:17
nunchucking others and it just felt like
2:19
they were actually moving. I love that
2:21
about the start and that's what I'm
2:23
going to miss about. Like I know I have
2:25
faith that Jean Wang and Freddy E.
2:28
Williams two are going to do great work,
2:31
but I we said Harley witness what
2:35
brought to this. So yeah.
2:38
Yeah, it's incredible. I uh I did a kind
2:40
of an exit interview this week. You can
2:41
read on AIT with Juan uh asking him what
2:46
his Ninja Turtle name would be, which
2:48
it's a good answer. as well as like are
2:50
there anything he he would have he wish
2:52
he could have drawn if he kept uh
2:53
drawing the series among other things
2:55
but also like what his approach was.
2:57
It's I recommend checking that out. It's
2:59
a it's a nice little read. And yeah,
3:01
you're so right. Like when Juan came on
3:03
the book, no disrespect to the artist
3:05
before, but the identity of this became
3:07
so fun, so action-packed. It's
3:09
everything you want in TMNT. And I I'm
3:12
I'm hoping he wins over a lot more
3:14
folks. I've been reviewing his books
3:15
since Green Arrow when he was uh working
3:17
with Ben Percy and what was that like 12
3:19
years ago? So, it's great to see him
3:21
continue to get these big swings.
3:24
Heck yeah. What was your favorite uh
3:27
art, Dave?
3:29
I really liked a moment from Marvel
3:30
Zombies Red Band number two with art by
3:33
Jan Bazalua. Um there was a couple
3:35
moments I actually want there was
3:37
another moment, Invisible Man, that I
3:38
wanted to pick, but this was a really
3:41
great striking moment. This book has
3:43
been uh I think it's um a surprise. You
3:47
know, when it comes to Marvel Zombies,
3:50
ever since Kirkman stopped doing it,
3:51
everyone's kind of gone, h is this
3:53
really that good? I don't know. And I
3:55
think this book has just been packing a
3:57
lot of stuff in, including a moment here
4:00
early on. Gan Gray has literally that
4:02
day joined the X-Men,
4:06
and she wakes up from a nightmare where
4:07
Cyclops is attacking her. And in this
4:08
panel you're seeing here, or if you can
4:10
go to Amputt to see it, she looks out of
4:13
her bedroom door and there's blood
4:16
dripping everywhere.
4:18
And we see Xavier's wheelchair empty,
4:22
presumably because he was eaten or
4:24
changed, turned, and is zombified
4:27
running around. But, uh, the
4:29
gruesomeness of this hallway is so good.
4:32
and her shock. It's like straight out of
4:34
an 80s horror movie where the the the
4:36
good guy has uh encountered a a threat
4:39
and there's a moment of of calm, but it
4:42
looks pretty gruesome.
4:44
Oh man, that that looks gnarly as heck.
4:48
I haven't read the second issue yet. I
4:50
but I did read the first issue and I do
4:52
love how it's kind of taking a horror
4:55
fil spin on the early days of the world
4:57
universe. you know, the Fantastic Four
4:59
go up, they get infected, and they start
5:01
bringing everything down.
5:04
And yeah, it's just shows nobody is
5:07
safe.
5:08
Really? Yeah. And and they they go to
5:09
Battle World in the second issue. Like
5:12
I mean, makes me wonder what three and
5:14
four. I mean, five we know from the
5:16
cover that Null shows up again. Null,
5:18
he's back. But yeah, I know. I totally
5:21
recommend that book. It's It's super
5:23
fun.
5:31
Come on. Woo.
