Come on.
0:13
>> Moving on to our next segment, standout
0:17
>> [laughter]
0:19
>> God bless you moment of the week. Our
0:21
favorite panel art page
0:23
We like to talk about art in this on
0:24
this podcast because comics is like 75%
0:27
art. And if you don't talk about it,
0:29
what are you doing? So,
0:31
you can watch this on YouTube or if
0:33
you're listening, go to apcomic.com go
0:34
to this podcast post so you can see the
0:36
art we're going to be talking about in a
0:37
second.
0:38
>> Yes.
0:39
>> What is your standout moment of
0:45
the week?
0:46
>> The week. It's this week. Um sorry, I
0:49
keep on like screaming and I hate when
0:50
I'm listening to a podcast and
0:52
>> You did that earlier.
0:53
>> I know. So, forgive me everyone. I'm on
0:55
a I'm having a week. Um I really liked
1:00
uh this cheetah transformation scene
1:03
from Absolute Wonder Woman number 22. Um
1:05
I like every issue of Absolute Wonder
1:08
Woman. This one was like not as strong
1:11
as some of the other ones just because I
1:13
think there was like some setup like,
1:15
you know, Barbara finally accepting the
1:18
cheetah curse and uh
1:20
some things with Diana and Circe etc.
1:24
etc. Um but it was still really good and
1:26
visually it was really fun to read.
1:30
So, of course this is written by Kelly
1:31
Thompson with art by Dylan Snook. Um
1:36
I think Snook's art is great. Uh the
1:39
image you're looking at now, if you're
1:40
looking at this on YouTube, is of
1:43
Barbara Minerva finally accepting the
1:46
curse / blessing
1:49
of I forget the god's name. It is long
1:53
and he is a god of plants and for some
1:55
reason he turns people into cheetahs.
1:56
We'll never understand that. Um
1:59
[laughter]
1:59
but uh I thought this was a cool like
2:02
werewolfy cheetah transformation, her
2:05
eye rolling, the fact that she's kind of
2:08
like smiling in the last square at the
2:10
bottom.
2:11
>> Yeah.
2:12
>> And then the fact that the
2:13
transformation makes her powerful enough
2:15
to like rip a hole in the hole of the
2:18
door of her cell, I think it's just a
2:20
great continuation of this scene. Um
2:23
very excited to see what happens with
2:25
Barb.
2:27
>> I got to say it reminds me of Francesco
2:29
Francavilla's art, probably cuz the
2:31
heavy use of orange, but also like the
2:34
less detailed, more stylistic art style
2:37
here.
2:38
I got to say though, this mouth is
2:39
freaky as hell with the with the spit
2:42
coming out.
2:43
>> Totally. The transformation from human
2:45
mouth to monster mouth. It's It's well
2:47
done. I'm I'm reading
2:50
>> Would you say it's a monster mouth?
2:52
>> Monster mouth. Um
2:54
>> You know where I was going for?
2:56
>> Universal Monsters Wolf Man right now,
2:59
and I feel like this is like a better
3:01
transformation than some of the ones I
3:03
saw in that comic. It's well done.
3:06
>> Sure.
3:07
>> Not to throw shade at that comic. I'm
3:08
really enjoying it. Now I feel bad.
3:10
>> [laughter]
3:12
>> The second issue was good, but there
3:14
wasn't as much blood as I was expecting.
3:15
>> no transformations in the second issue.
3:17
The first one was so strong. And she was
3:19
like
3:20
whining about being a wolf in issue two.
3:22
I was like, "What the hell?"
3:23
>> What would you do if like us [ __ ] on
3:24
a comic here and there like got the
3:27
views up? Would we just start being
3:29
[ __ ] about everything?
3:30
>> Don't even talk to me about the power of
3:32
clickbait
3:33
>> [laughter]
3:33
>> and hate.
3:35
>> I I picked a moment from Superman number
3:38
40 by Joshua Williamson and Dan Mora,
3:41
and I just think it's the quintessential
3:43
comic fourth wall breaking insaneness
3:47
that is
3:48
Superboy Prime throwing a long box
3:52
at [clears throat] someone at the
3:54
British dude's face. What's his name?
3:56
Anyway, he's part of the Anyway, he's
3:58
Grant Morrison.
3:59
>> Black.
4:00
>> Thank you.
4:01
And I got to say, if I got hit in the
4:04
face with a long box filled with comics,
4:07
I would probably break all my teeth.
4:09
Like that's not light, you know.
4:11
>> 100%.
4:12
>> Anyway,
4:13
I think Mora always crushing it. I can't
4:16
believe the guy is is producing like two
4:19
entire comics plus many, many covers
4:21
every every month.
4:24
But yeah, the the use of speed lines is
4:26
quite fun.
4:27
The box actually crumbling on the face,
4:31
all the comics spilling out.
4:33
>> I know I like the golden golden surfer
4:35
instead of the silver surfer.
4:37
>> Yes, exactly. And like you can tell this
4:39
is supposed to be like a Spider-Man type
4:41
character. Although it has creepy legs.
4:44
Um
4:45
>> Wait, look at the
4:47
>> Yeah.
4:48
>> fake Spider-Man cover in the middle of
4:50
the bottom panel. Is it that cover that
4:52
people were complaining about?
4:54
>> Which one?
4:55
>> The Spider-Man the JRJR cover, the
4:58
number 1000. [laughter]
5:01
>> Okay, so
5:02
It is similar. There's absolutely no way
5:05
he drew this
5:07
after
5:07
>> Oh yeah, that's true. Unless they went
5:09
in and edited it, but it's very it's
5:11
very funny that that's included.
5:13
>> That's funny. Didn't even think of that.
5:15
There's also like lots of like toys,
5:17
like it looks like that could be like a
5:18
dildo. I don't know. Anyway,
5:20
>> Oh, hell yeah.
5:21
>> just just super chaotic and fun and uh
5:25
I've been loving what Josh has been
5:26
doing with Superboy Prime. Um
5:29
you know,
5:30
>> Indeed.
5:39
>> Come on.
