Well, moving on to our next segment.
0:17
Standout
0:20
moment of the week. Man, we are in
0:22
Halloween month as my shirt tells you.
0:25
And uh we got to pick some violent but
0:28
also cool panels and pages. This is
0:30
where we talk about our favorite panel
0:32
page out this week. That's right. You
0:33
get to look at free art because this is
0:36
journalism.
0:37
Hey.
0:38
Anyway, what is your pay for this?
0:41
No. No. Yeah, we have to pay for every
0:43
piece of art. There something I mean
0:45
there's one thing about spoiling
0:46
something, but if you don't show the
0:48
entire thing, I guess legally they can't
0:50
get you. Yeah, agree.
0:51
Loopholes. Anyway, what was your
0:53
favorite panel or page out this week?
0:55
Um, yeah, I don't know if you want to
0:57
show the viewers. Um, but my favorite
1:01
panel was from also my favorite comic of
1:04
this week. So, you know, have already
1:07
have already spoken about this, but it's
1:09
from DC KO with Scott Snider and Javi
1:12
Fernandez. Um,
1:15
what I like most about this is
1:17
Superman's reaction to Batman getting
1:21
murdered by the Joker. Um, the horror in
1:25
Superman's face of his best friend in
1:27
the entire world, Batman.
1:30
Um, is just like rendered beautifully in
1:33
shadow. Um,
1:34
I love that they killed Batman. I think
1:37
that's iconic. We were talking in the
1:39
news section that the top four
1:41
bestselling books of the entire month of
1:43
September were all Batman books.
1:46
Batman is not going to be a major part
1:49
of the rest of this event. And that is I
1:52
think like a bold move for DC to make.
1:54
Um
1:55
for sure there are Bat family
1:57
characters.
1:57
I was about to say there's Bat family
1:59
characters. So, like Batman's essence is
2:01
still going to be like imbued in the
2:02
event, but Bruce Wayne has been murdered
2:06
by the Joker, which I also think is
2:08
fascinating because there's so many
2:10
comics that talk about how like the
2:12
Joker and the Batman never kill each
2:14
other because they're inexurably tied
2:17
together as beings in this universe. But
2:21
the Joker willy-nilly
2:24
slaughters Bruce with a harpoon gun
2:27
while Bruce is wearing his like crazy
2:30
technological like armor buster outfit.
2:34
Um,
2:35
why does it make a rip sound? Does metal
2:36
usually make a rip sound?
2:38
Maybe it's like ripping the flesh inside
2:40
of the
2:42
I didn't think of that. That's even
2:43
grosser.
2:44
Um, yeah. I just thought I thought this
2:45
was sick. I liked the twist. Um, I also
2:50
like how Batman is just illustrated to
2:52
kind of look like classic Batman, like
2:55
just the way he looks, how he looked
2:57
like in the 70s, you know?
2:58
True, true, true. Yeah, he's got the
3:00
like blue eyebrows as if he's like out
3:02
of
3:03
Pretty cool. I really liked a panel
3:06
actually a double page splash from Long
3:08
Halloween, the last Halloween by Chris
3:10
Samney. And yeah, uh, whenever I see art
3:15
like this, I think, how long does it
3:17
take to dry every single one of those
3:18
windows?
3:20
Yes, for real.
3:21
It's a scene where Batman has just
3:23
fought um some mobster goons and gets
3:26
shot out a window or kicked out of a
3:28
window. It's like shot. No, it was
3:30
shotguned into the chest. So, he's kind
3:32
of incapacitated, too. Catwoman's
3:34
diving. She doesn't have to, but she's
3:36
diving after him to save him. And you uh
3:40
if you're listening to this, you can
3:41
look at this on a comics.com on the
3:43
podcast post, but just gorgeously
3:45
rendered Catwoman diving, Batman
3:47
falling, kind of limp, the cape looking
3:50
really neat. But again, it's the city,
3:52
but also the like little drops of rain
3:55
that are so cool and just it's just so
3:58
detailed. You just can get lost in this
4:00
page. And I just love the use of um sort
4:03
of like reddish oranges
4:06
um to convey the like lights of the city
4:08
as he dives down at night.
4:11
Yeah, really beautiful. The water
4:13
droplets really are a gorgeous addition.
4:16
It makes it seem so much less flat. It
4:20
adds so much depth to it. Also, I love
4:23
how big Batman's cape is. Like, yeah,
4:27
it looks like Alphaba's cape at the end
4:28
of Defying Gravity in the first Wicked
4:31
movie. I'm like,
4:32
he's he sure is defying gravity.
4:34
You are defying gravity. And this cape
4:36
is big as [ __ ] Um, and the movement in
4:39
the cape is gorgeous, too. Yeah, that's
4:41
a great spread.
4:42
Yeah, thanks. I mean, I drew it. So,
4:44
yeah, you're really talented.
