Moving on to our next segment. Judging
0:17
by the cover Junior, our favorite cover
0:19
art out this week. I had to pick two,
0:23
but one of them is kind of a joke uh
0:25
pick. I love this Sonia Reborn, Red
0:28
Sonia Reborn number two cover.
0:29
Oh, that's beautiful.
0:31
Uh, it's just striking. Um, it's uh,
0:34
sorry, it's by um, Stuart Sage. And I
0:39
just think the the use of lighting is
0:41
unreal. Uh there's there's a bit of a
0:43
foreground background thing which is
0:45
working really well for me with the um
0:47
lens kind of flares at the B right above
0:50
the title and the the sword is gleaming
0:54
just so her earrings are like lit up as
0:56
if they've got LEDs inside them. Um and
1:01
it's not overtly sexualized which is
1:03
usually a good thing with Red Sonia
1:05
covers. She needs to look badass, not
1:07
like some sort of cheesecake thing. No,
1:09
this is like, God, she looks so intense
1:12
and dangerous but sexy.
1:14
And I love how big the hilt of the
1:16
sword. It's almost like the hilt is so
1:17
big. It's not a sword a human should be
1:19
carrying around.
1:20
No.
1:21
Uh, but I think the most striking thing
1:24
ultimately is her hair and just how much
1:25
there is of it. Um, it it's quite
1:29
possibly the most insane amount of hair
1:30
ever. I mean, is she in the band Kiss or
1:32
something? But anyway, there's almost
1:34
like fire embers flying around. Uh, her
1:37
blue eyes are striking. It's just it's
1:39
pretty badass and I want to know who
1:42
she's about to take that sword to.
1:44
Totally.
1:46
Um I also loved the Captain America to
1:48
perform Muppets variant.
1:51
Every time I look at this I just laugh.
1:52
It's just so ridiculous. I don't even
1:54
know the name of this Muppet, but no.
1:56
Uh he's this he's obviously sort of
2:00
eagle and
2:01
what a perfect character to be a Captain
2:03
America character. This is clearly
2:05
Why?
2:06
Yeah. The funniest thing to me about
2:07
this cover is all the white space
2:10
because it's like it's such simple art
2:12
and yet there's also like so much white
2:14
space.
2:15
There's uh and I think this is an homage
2:18
to Oh yeah, here you go. after Seno.
2:22
You've got, you know, AIM characters,
2:25
Hydra, Miss Piggy is clearly up to
2:28
something. She
2:30
This is Bucky. Yeah, of course. Um look
2:33
how like monotone is. It's just it just
2:35
it's so stupid. Anyway, what was your
2:38
favorite cover of the week?
2:40
Douche Canoe.
2:41
Oh, sorry. I looked up I looked up
2:44
Douche Canoe after you mentioned it.
2:46
Apparently,
2:46
did you need to know how to pronounce
2:47
it?
2:49
Douche canoe.
2:51
Is it in the dictionary?
2:53
Oh my god. We got a We got a DJ on our
2:55
hands.
2:56
Apparently, it's in the dictionary,
2:57
which I'm like, that's upsetting.
2:59
Wait, what's the what's the definition?
3:00
What's the definition? Uh, an obnoxious
3:03
or contemptable person typically used on
3:06
a man.
3:08
Of course. Nice.
3:11
Um, I feel really bad that I was doing
3:13
that with this gorgeous cover up.
3:16
Um, my favorite cover for next week is
3:20
Ivan Tala's variant for Rogue Storm
3:22
number one. I mean, do I even need to
3:24
say anything about it? Holy Um, I
3:28
want this Virgin variant so bad. You
3:31
know, I love when a comic is comicy and
3:33
it looks like a gosh darn comic. And I
3:35
love when an artist depicts like what a
3:39
superhero character would look like if
3:41
they were like cast in an MCU film. Like
3:44
this depiction of Rogue and Storm are
3:46
like so real. Like this is like you know
3:49
what they would look like if they were
3:51
brought into real life and cast in a
3:54
movie. Um just really stunning. I also
3:58
like love when an artist clearly has
3:59
like a respect and appreciation for a
4:02
black woman's hairstyle. Storm's hair is
4:06
like rendered and illustrated like
4:08
absolutely beautifully with her um curls
4:11
and just like the shading of her hair as
4:14
well. Uh yeah, it's just it's just sick
4:17
as hell and it makes me really excited
4:19
for the first issue.
4:20
Yeah. I like how the bolts are sort of a
4:22
V bringing us down to the center. It's
4:25
drawing your eye kind of in a neat way.
4:27
Yeah, the whole formatting of it is
4:29
really cool. And also, I think Rogue was
4:32
holding
4:34
knuckle.
4:35
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Brass knuckles.
4:36
Exciting.
4:37
But they have like spikes on them.
4:39
Hey,
4:40
brass knuckles.
