Come on.
0:13
>> Moving on to our next segment. Standout.
0:15
>> Kapow.
0:16
>> MOMENT OF THE WEEK. PEN PAGE.
0:19
>> IDAMN.
0:20
>> Next time I record it, I'm gonna do it
0:21
like Harry Kerry.
0:23
>> I'm gonna do my best Harry Carrie. So,
0:25
watch out for that listeners.
0:27
>> Whoa. You see, this is why there's value
0:29
in this show. People have things to look
0:31
forward to every week.
0:33
>> Mhm.
0:34
>> This is where I talk about our favorite
0:35
panel page. We like to focus on the
0:37
arts. You can look at it on amput.com on
0:39
the podcast post or go to the YouTube
0:41
and watch it there. What was your
0:43
favorite panel page?
0:45
>> Uh, mine was from Did you hear about
0:47
Mimi Green number two by Connor Smith
0:49
and Josh Cornelan? Uh, I mean, I'm a
0:54
body horror boy. I make no I make no
0:57
bones about this and this book is is
1:00
giving us uh mega ultra ultimate body
1:05
horror. I mean even just the way that
1:07
kind of Josh draws blood is
1:10
>> I I feel like somebody actually smeared
1:12
human blood on the
1:13
>> vis viscosity to it.
1:15
>> Yeah, exactly. He he gets he gets why
1:19
blood is so interesting, why it's so
1:20
compelling, how to sort of make use of
1:23
it. And then of course we've got giant
1:25
mutating uh razor sharp arm.
1:29
>> Uh and you know I mean the thing about
1:31
this book is that it's it's very this
1:33
sort of like cerebral
1:35
uh dissection of you know social media
1:38
and parasocial relationships and
1:41
>> all this sort of like thoughtful
1:43
intellectual stuff. But then we still
1:45
get a moment like this that is like
1:48
weird mutant kaiju explosion of action
1:52
which doesn't feel kind of out of pace
1:54
with the story. It's just kind of a new
1:56
dimension. And so I think it's like it's
1:58
the story kind of growing in real time
2:00
and showing us kind of its true scope uh
2:04
on top of just being like very
2:05
satisfying if you happen to like blood
2:07
and viscera and uh mutants. So, I I I
2:11
like that this moment feels earned in
2:14
that way and that it's the book kind of
2:17
uh you know, really getting a chance to
2:20
kind of grow and spread out and do lots
2:22
of different things while still
2:23
respecting kind of that core of you know
2:27
uh this is a very thoughtful book that
2:29
has a lot to say kind of about very
2:32
relevant, very kind of complicated
2:34
things right now.
2:37
>> Yeah. I know. It's really I I think what
2:38
also makes it so striking is the the
2:41
black the stark black background. It
2:44
really lifts up the art.
2:46
>> You don't need like a detailed
2:47
background to make focuses and the
2:49
lighting on the shoulders and the head
2:51
is quite good too.
2:52
>> Yeah, it's all just great. And he again
2:55
I think he plays with detail really
2:56
well. Like the right things are
2:58
emphasized and everything else is kind
3:00
of deemphasized in a really interesting
3:02
way. I think it's that's
3:05
I think that expresses a certain kind of
3:07
humanity that's really interesting in in
3:10
a moment like this.
3:12
>> Yeah, the glasses are are good, too. The
3:14
way that you can see the eyes through
3:15
them.
3:16
>> It's well done. My favorite page comes
3:19
from Operation Iron Coffin, number one
3:20
by Kenny Porter and Tyrell Canon. This
3:22
might have been in my top two. Uh it's
3:24
close cuz it's so damn fun. Grindhouse,
3:27
action, violence. But I've been talking
3:29
about how strong this vampire Dracula
3:32
guy is in this for months uh since I
3:35
read it. I I just What we have here are
3:38
Nazis uh getting just totally
3:41
annihilated by him and he's making it
3:43
look easy as if they're like puppies or
3:46
something. Uh grabbing a guy's head
3:48
who's running full force at him with a
3:50
hammer or or actually I think it's a
3:51
mine or a bomb.
3:52
>> Yeah, I think it's a grenade. and then
3:54
just crushing his head by the grip alone
3:57
and then kicking him so hard. [laughter]
4:00
His body is removed from his head. Um
4:04
there's other panels in this I think
4:05
it's even this fight scene where he's
4:07
like slashes his arm like you would see
4:09
in the Invincible cartoon or comic and
4:11
it's so fast that it's like this the
4:13
neck or the bone and blood is just like
4:16
it's like jell-o. It comes off so fast
4:19
>> and [snorts] but yeah, I just think
4:20
Tyrell is just crushing on how strong
4:24
Dracula is. And you don't even see this
4:26
in superhero box comics. Obviously, you
4:28
can't show people his heads getting
4:30
ripped off like this in most superhero
4:31
comics, but even Hulk, like when they
4:34
punch a guy, you know, he might fly 100
4:36
feet, but he's in one piece. But there's
4:40
just something about how he's drawing
4:41
the the speed lines and the the
4:45
blurriness of the foot here on the
4:46
bottom where it's just he's hitting this
4:49
guy with like the force of an asteroid.
4:52
>> Yeah.
4:54
>> So exciting.
4:55
>> I [snorts] would also like to add like I
4:56
love like I've been thinking about this
4:58
book since I read it earlier this week.
5:00
just kind of the way that they
5:03
uh depict kind of the I don't want to
5:05
say complicated nature of his Dracula,
5:07
but like it's
5:08
>> very much a character who I think
5:12
is is operating on a few different
5:14
levels and he's working through a lot of
5:16
different things and like that's
5:17
incredibly interesting and to get that
5:19
book but then also just like the same
5:22
kind of like thoughtfulness and
5:23
inventiveness to the action like I you
5:26
can feel that kind of that last uh panel
5:30
what that might be like and just like
5:32
the force of that moment. And so to get
5:35
those two things together, I think that
5:36
just makes this book feel all the more
5:38
satisfying.
5:39
>> I can't wait for the next issue. I
5:41
>> Yeah, I'm keep They're going to raise
5:44
the the I mean, this issue is like this
5:46
is his power level now. Let's see him
5:48
fight something that's almost as
5:50
powerful as him probably.
5:51
>> It's going to be great,
5:53
>> man. We just we just we're just two gore
5:55
boys trying to make make a living in
5:58
this world. That's a That's a new
5:59
podcast idea. Gore Boys.
6:00
>> The Gore Boys.
6:03
>> There's only one episode. We gore each
6:04
other on camera and that's it.
6:06
>> Yeah, [laughter] we just murder each
6:07
other in the worst. Yeah, I'm down.
6:16
Come on.
