Moving on to our next segment. Standout
0:26
moment of the week. our spookiest
0:30
segment every week where we talk about
0:33
our favorite panels or pages. And this
0:36
week we both get in a spooky spirit
0:39
because it's grossy gross in the
0:42
spookiest kapow moment types of ways.
0:45
These are kapows.
0:48
Last week we were just joking. They
0:49
weren't real kapows.
0:51
We were kidding. The eviscerations, it
0:53
was a joke.
0:54
We're going full We're going full kapow
0:56
this week. I will start uh my favorite.
1:00
Sorry, let me share my screen
1:03
because I don't see it on my window.
1:06
I'm just trying to make you have editing
1:07
work. Or am I? My favorite uh page comes
1:11
from Absolute Green Lantern number seven
1:13
by Al Yuing, Raleigh Rossmo, and Jason
1:15
Howard. This page actually is drawn by
1:17
Jason Howard. Sorry, there's a big
1:19
spoiler here for Absolute Green Lantern,
1:21
but uh one of our most iconic Green
1:23
Lanterns is actually a Black Star, and
1:27
the panel before this is possibly even
1:29
better. He grabs someone's head and just
1:31
squishes it like and it just sprays
1:33
blood.
1:33
It is sick as hell.
1:35
It's It's very invincible this book in
1:37
in this issue in a lot of ways cuz we've
1:39
got guys flying around with super
1:40
strength and stuff, but now he's so
1:42
after he crushed the head, he's still
1:44
kind of holding on to the body and it's
1:45
just blood and they're in space. So, the
1:47
blood is just kind of like wafting
1:48
everywhere and he says his iconic line,
1:51
"Poozer, but uh when when they crush
1:53
skulls in comics or movies or whatever
1:55
and it just becomes liquid."
1:58
Yeah.
1:58
How did how did they turn every fragment
2:00
of bone into liquid? Cuz that's I don't
2:03
think that's pos I don't know. I'm just
2:05
throwing it out there. It's crazy idea.
2:07
No, there's a lot of liquefification
2:08
happening. And your invincible comment
2:11
is so right. And even that the alien on
2:13
the like little tiny part of the panel
2:15
underneath Kill Wig looks like that main
2:18
alien from Invincible.
2:19
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah,
2:21
it does. I I thought the same thing. I
2:22
didn't say it in my review, but what was
2:24
your favorite panel or page?
2:26
Um Oh, I feel like we didn't spend
2:28
enough time on that. I loved that panel.
2:29
Um
2:30
God, you want to talk more about it?
2:31
Let's go back.
2:31
No, no, no. I just like he was just
2:33
brutal. He's like such like a good gruff
2:35
guy in, you know, mainline comics and
2:38
he's such a monstrous piece of [ __ ] in
2:40
this. It's It was very fun.
2:43
Uh yeah, it was it was shocking because
2:45
he's he's one of the more um Killow is
2:49
one of the more uh you know familiar
2:52
characters cuz he looks so different
2:53
from most Green Screen Lanterns as well.
2:55
Totally. Um we
2:57
not He's got eyes growing out of his
2:59
shoulder which is
3:00
Yes. I don't understand what that is.
3:02
He's evil man.
3:04
So mine is another huge spoiler if
3:08
you've not read Absolute Evil. Um,
3:10
practically ruins the comic by looking
3:11
at this.
3:12
It really does. I had to do it, though.
3:14
This is probably the biggest twist out
3:15
of like any comics this week. Um,
3:19
so if you've not read Absolute Evil yet,
3:21
don't look at the screen. Look away
3:25
or turn your ears away. This is being
3:27
recorded in case everyone's like, "We
3:29
can't see this."
3:30
True.
3:31
Yeah. Go to a comics.com to see this art
3:33
in full. Hey um from Aluing Jeppi Kamoli
3:38
and Stefano Nessie. Uh Absolute Evil um
3:42
I I think it's a oneshot. Correct me if
3:44
I'm wrong, Dave. Yeah, it's a oneshot
3:47
um that basically collects the new
3:51
Justice League. except the Justice
3:54
League are the main villains from every
3:58
absolute comic line throughout the
4:01
entire line from Green Lantern to uh
4:04
Martian Manhunter, Flash, Superman,
4:07
Batman, Wonder Woman. Um and basically
4:11
they are brought together by Veronica
4:13
Kale and it seems like Rajal Ghoul to
4:16
basically say hey we are not succeeding
4:19
at individually defeating these new
4:23
metahumans that are revealing themselves
4:26
and we've had control of this world and
4:29
been able to steer the ark of this world
4:31
towards villain for decades now and it's
4:35
not working anymore. So, we need to
4:37
start working together. Um,
4:40
and there's one of the billionaires, uh,
4:44
he Hammond, he like does not
4:49
really understand the need for this
4:52
collaboration. So, he is like going to
4:55
leave. He doesn't agree. And then they
4:58
throw a body on the table and it is the
5:02
smashed in head and skull of Oliver
5:07
McQueen, this world's Green Arrow, who
5:10
never got to become the Green Arrow. He
5:13
just seemingly left this circle of
5:16
villainous billionaires and decided to
5:18
use his mass wealth to fight back
5:22
against the villains of this world. And
5:26
Olly never got a chance. He is
5:29
brutalized by this really jacked up
5:32
absolute version of Hawkman. Um who used
5:37
his ma mace to again bash all these
5:40
brains in. Um it's pretty horrifying.
5:42
It's definitely a kapow. Um
5:44
very shocking moment.
5:46
The shocking moment. And not only was it
5:48
just a twist in the issue, but it's also
5:50
a twist on the whole lying because we
5:52
know that there is an absolute green
5:54
arrow from porn sack pitch pitch
5:59
pitch toad um coming out soon that you
6:03
know all fans on Twitter have been like
6:05
gagging for and very excited. Um and now
6:08
we don't know who it's going to be. My
6:10
personal theory is that it's going to be
6:11
Roy um because Oliver does speak to Roy
6:15
at the beginning of this comic on the
6:16
phone. Um and they clearly have an
6:19
established relationship in the absolute
6:21
universe. Um
6:23
but yeah, pretty pretty intense.
6:26
Yeah. And the nonchalant sort of way
6:28
this body is thrown on a table, it shows
6:30
that, you know, even the biggest heroes
6:32
can die almost at will.
6:36
100%.
6:37
Moving on.
