0:24
you say it.
0:24
>> I think so.
0:26
>> Judging by the cover, Junior. Junior.
0:31
>> Oh my god.
0:33
>> That's like a That'sing for this cover.
0:36
>> That's sort of sort of a anime like a
0:39
Pikachu like
0:40
>> Yeah. No,
0:40
>> I choose you Pikachu.
0:43
>> Um, let's talk about your cover because
0:46
last week I don't know if you watch our
0:48
show or listen to it, but
0:49
>> I actually hate our show.
0:51
>> I picked the same cover artist and uh he
0:53
did the uh the rogue cover was my cover
0:56
last week. Well, no shock that you
0:57
picked the woman and I picked the [ __ ]
1:00
man. Um, listen you little
1:02
>> He's not [ __ ] in this. He's freaking
1:05
ripped.
1:06
>> I don't know. It's pretty [ __ ] to me.
1:08
Those arms are bare. Um, if you like
1:11
seeing Buff Boys, then uh go on YouTube
1:13
and watch this clip or look up Alexander
1:17
Lozano's
1:18
80s Colossus variant cover for X-Men
1:21
number 34. Um, yeah, just has uh Poder
1:26
uh very like Russian 80scoded
1:29
using an egregious amount of weights to
1:32
do his arm workouts. I've been working
1:35
with a trainer and I've just gotten up
1:37
to 15 15 pounds and it makes me feel
1:40
incredibly strong.
1:42
>> What? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I
1:43
lift weights three days a week. What
1:45
muscle group?
1:46
>> Uh, like biceps, triceps. Okay. and a
1:51
lot of like holding them up and doing
1:53
reverse crunches.
1:54
>> You don't even want to know how much I
1:56
can I can do on bicep. Okay. You don't
1:58
even want to know.
1:58
>> I don't You're you're buff and brolic,
2:00
brother. I've never worked out before. I
2:02
started out using like five pounds.
2:04
Okay.
2:05
>> All right. Wait, hold on. Since you were
2:07
look at working with a trainer, what
2:09
muscle group is he working on right now?
2:11
>> Oh god. Um
2:14
I mean, isn't that
2:17
like forearms? Because if he's going
2:19
like that, he's going up like this.
2:21
>> It's this one.
2:23
>> Oh, triceps.
2:24
>> Nice job,
2:25
>> sexy. Um, basically at the end of my
2:28
workouts, I'm feeling like this buff
2:30
[ __ ] over here who's just muscles are
2:34
rippling. Um, and you know, God,
2:37
sometimes I don't like when a cover is
2:39
just like a blank color in the back, but
2:41
I do not give a [ __ ] with this color
2:43
because there is enough to look at.
2:45
>> Yeah. with the posters on the right and
2:47
the comics on the floor. There's there's
2:49
there's plenty here for sure. I just
2:52
love like these are supposed to be like
2:53
80s kind of inspired and he really is
2:57
kind of wearing what like Arnold
2:58
Schwarzenegger was probably wearing when
3:00
he was lifting weights in the 80s.
3:01
>> I I do think that his knee on the left
3:04
could like move to the left a few
3:06
centimeters. I think that might be good
3:08
for, you know, the visual that I'm
3:10
getting from the cover. Um,
3:14
but in general I love it.
3:16
>> You like you like a lot of the bulges we
3:18
see, but there's a one bulge you might
3:20
want to see better. Is what you're
3:22
trying to say?
3:23
>> Reveal the bulge. Let free the bulge.
3:26
Alexander Lozano. Come on.
3:28
>> Hashtag freethe bulge. Um, yeah. No,
3:31
it's a great cover. I love the lighting
3:33
on the metal as well.
3:35
>> Totally. Just stylistically incredibly
3:37
well done.
3:38
>> It's funny that Wonderman gets a little
3:40
appearance in here. like he's
3:41
>> Yeah,
3:42
>> he's some sort of like uh he's hawking
3:44
some sort of drug or something for
3:46
weightlifters.
3:48
>> Of course he is because he's a movie
3:50
star. I picked a uh Mike Mola cover for
3:54
Rocket Raccoon and Rocket Rewind.
3:57
I can't tell you. No, I can tell you
3:59
this is actually a new Mola cover cuz it
4:02
says 26 down here. I was a little
4:03
worried it was like an old cover he did,
4:06
>> a recycled one. Yeah,
4:07
>> cuz back before he did Hellboy and and
4:09
joined Darkhorse, he did a Rocket
4:11
Raccoon story and it was incredible. And
4:15
>> you know, Mola is always really good. I
4:17
feel like he's really good at that c
4:19
cinematic almost movie poster style
4:21
where there's like characters stacked on
4:23
top of each other. You see it with his
4:25
Hellboy covers all the time and you see
4:26
it here too with Rocket and then there's
4:28
this like dragon in the background,
4:30
random fish in the foreground.
4:32
>> That's Finnf Fang Fume. I know those ear
4:35
flaps. That's
4:37
>> right. I think he shows up in the comic,
4:39
too. Wait, hold on. Let me just hold
4:40
this book up for a second.
4:44
>> It's actually not bad. There's It's a
4:46
It's an anthology. Oh, yeah. Yeah,
4:48
there's like a monster guy. Anyway, I
4:50
don't know if it's fang. Anyway, uh his
4:53
use of shadow is also quite good. He's
4:56
just one of those artists that is so
4:58
iconic. You know it as soon as you see
5:00
it.
5:01
>> 100%. You immediately know it. mainly
5:04
from his use of shadow honestly and his
5:08
like small um oval eyes I feel like are
5:11
just like so the yeah the shadow in here
5:14
is really interesting and the random
5:16
dead fish art very funny and also I like
5:19
how his signature is just an M in a flag
5:22
just an M
5:22
>> true he the art itself is the his
5:25
signature
5:26
>> yeah fully
5:28
>> uh if you are watching this uh go listen
