0:13
>> Moving on to our next segment. Judging
0:15
by the cover, Junior, we're going to
0:18
talk about our favorite cover art.
0:19
Again, a visual thing. But you know
0:21
what? If you do a comic podcast and you
0:24
don't talk about visuals, then you are a
0:26
freaking phony. Okay, get out.
0:32
>> Is that directed towards anyone
0:35
>> I don't No, not really. I don't listen
0:39
>> Can't stand the things.
0:40
>> I'm so good at them, I don't need to.
0:42
Uh, my favorite cover comes from Tomb of
0:44
Apocalypse number one by Pablo Villa
0:46
Lobos. This is a variant cover. It is so
0:48
freaking clean. I thought it was Simone
0:50
Deo actually at first cuz it has this
0:52
kind of digital look to it,
0:55
>> but you can see Lobo was his name right
0:58
>> uh use of of lighting is is quite
1:00
stunning. I know it's, you know, a
1:02
character in a in a smoke cloud. It's
1:04
not got the most uh composition
1:07
necessarily, although I do think the
1:09
Egyptian rune behind him adds something
1:12
to it that's quite neat and sci-fi
1:14
futuristic, but also Egyptian. Uh, but
1:17
if you look closely at the articulation
1:20
in his uh the back of his palms and his
1:24
waist belt and around his collar, the
1:27
like detailing of that he's not just a
1:31
dude in a super suit. He's like wearing
1:33
something that's like ceremonial
1:36
and like handmade almost, which is quite
1:40
>> And uh it's a character I've never
1:42
really jived with because he just seems
1:44
like overpowered to be overpowered.
1:46
Yeah. He's just like the ultimate bad
1:48
>> who has all the powers.
1:51
>> Uh also the wispiness of the smoke
1:53
coming off of him. It's like he was just
1:55
born from the cosmos.
1:57
>> Yeah. It's super clean. I love it.
2:00
>> How about yours though?
2:02
>> I kind of picked mine for the same
2:04
reasons. I mean, I just love, you know,
2:06
sometimes Deadshot, uh, is,
2:11
you know, I think the the choice of
2:13
costume depending upon the the media or
2:16
the the story isn't always great, but
2:18
this is such a clean look. I love that
2:21
it's kind of all one piece. I love the
2:24
way his gauntlets are kind of depicted.
2:26
They feel kind of more realistic than I
2:29
think I've seen in other
2:30
>> Yeah. and they look like they could
2:32
actually like shoot a bullet and kill
2:35
somebody. And um it's just such a such a
2:38
great work uh by Fernando. And I just
2:41
think, you know, it as a guy who sees a
2:46
lot of covers and is like inundated with
2:47
a lot of really cool stuff, like
2:49
sometimes the thing that moves me is
2:50
like just the execution and the design
2:54
as opposed to kind of like anything
2:56
>> overly sort of fantastical. And this one
2:58
like nails it for me. It's just such a
3:01
clean clean, clean green piece.
3:03
>> Yeah. The fact that he has this
3:05
high-tech uh gauntlet or whatever you
3:07
want to call it on his wrist and then
3:08
he's like in a very standard detective
3:10
office kind of thing. Like we could see
3:12
a coffee mug and like
3:14
>> obviously he's using pins for the
3:18
>> Uh yeah, it's cool. And the laser, if I
3:21
was one of the cops or whoever these
3:22
people are with the laser pointer
3:24
things, probably gun sights, but not
3:27
laser pointers. Anyway, I'd be like, is
3:29
this is this overkill? Do we are we
3:32
>> 12? Yeah, probably just one of these
3:34
would probably do the work.
3:36
>> Yeah. And then also there's two guys
3:37
that are completely missing the target.
3:41
>> They new guys. They are
3:43
>> there's just the story behind the story
3:45
>> There's Yeah. So much going on.
3:48
>> But yeah, no, it's a it's a cool cover.
3:50
I like the line work.
