I'm Coy Jandreau here with Seth Green we are at Golden Apple comics in Hollywood at
the heart of Melrose yeah I mean I love seeing people innovate with both style
and aesthetics and I grabbed a book that I thought looked interesting and we're
here to do some comic book shop let's do this side yes I am
so we're in a comic book store and we're not having any fun at all judging solemn
horrible job really harsh critique growing up when you were reading comics
you were on tons of sets commercially TV film how did you find time and what did
you do to get comics in your life I started reading comics because I
traveled back and forth on the trains from Philadelphia to New York for
auditions my mom and I were walking past some guy on the street with a blanket he
was just selling books and comics and I grabbed a book that I thought looked
interesting it was fantastic for I read it on the train and was just gripped by
it and then it's a to be continued so I had to find the next issue and it was
the run where Franklin Richards gets possessed and becomes like a super
cosmic demon that's what a great like for a first book to read as a kid on a
train literally like this is the world I can live in and I had to know how it
ended so I got hooked
now spider-man why does he speak to you the most like I know we're both Spidey
guys like I picked him up early I always loved the fact that Spiderman was just a
kid and had to do normal kid stuff like graduate or get bullied or rise above
all of that and then keep this responsibility a secret and didn't
really have any obligation to anybody and so that's always spoken to me so
we're gonna actually live in spider-man for this first poll I have some books
right here for you ship sidarsky is new to the spider-man
game and this is where he first started out this is the classic feeling
spider-man it's got a Silver Age flavor I read a ton of Peter Parker's so when
Peter Parker ended at like around 288 back in the day they brought it back and
remembered these so these are the return of that exact same run so you've got the
weird side character of Peter Parker's sister that's mentioned once and the art
is a mix of Silver Age classic and you've got some already here and then
finally ship sidarsky who is these guys here is writing a comic that takes place
every decade if spider-man actually ate and is Mark Bagley who did the ultimate
spider-man on hand in 1966 with the characters turns into 1972 and now he's
30 but none of the cannon is sacred and things happen in this issue like flash
goes to nom so these things tie into the time and then they break your heart and
all new ways so these are our first books thanks let's do it
right
so you voice probably more severe as than anyone really were the realm of
like robot chicken and like you know sort of been like for me Rick Jones is
such a slept on character sweet Rick Jones is like the guy that was the best
phone call I got Jeph Loeb was like hey do you want to play Rick Jones on this
whole show and I was like yeah what's the character you think slept on in the
in the pop culture's I guess is it obnoxious to say I'd still like to see
some exploration of Howard the Duck well and then I heard he's gonna do some kind
of show Kevin Smith man yeah you can trust anybody to put out good comments
it's Kevin now you did a Top Cow comic that was it did gangbusters and you're
also in Robot Chicken and that whole pop culture world of comics there nothing
else in the comic space you haven't done you want to do the freshmen that I made
with hughster Birkhoff was something that we had been percolating for awhile
I was thrilled to get to make that as a book and we we keep talking about how to
exploit it in some other medium but it's been interesting the way books have
evolved since then there's been so many things that have come out that sort of
ran with and improved on I haven't had a thought of like oh I need to see this in
common so much that I'm gonna do it myself
I've got a couple Batman ideas now DC rebirth is recent and it ties into what
they're doing at Doomsday Clock so this is the jump of Jeff Jones taking over
and everything being reborn I've read some of those ok so in the world of DC I
wanted to pull an Indy a Jason book jinx world is Bendis and Mac doing the covers
and Mac actually doing the insider he's a great cover artist but here he
actually takes over the inside and he draws in two different styles throughout
the book so you've got a penciled style which is the more narrative and he got
kabuki actual painting style this story takes place in the world of Comic Cons
and he's playing basically an artist too as a spy so they're using the cover of
cons and travelling to have him infiltrate certain investigations
fantastic theories and you had mentioned a batman book a spider-man and Batman
are my favorite characters Batman because he's crazy he's a superhero by
choice he doesn't have enough powers he's just rich like his superpowers
being rich and crazy and I mentioned this this Miller book year one you know
his origin stories been told so many times but it's really well told here and
it's beautiful day massive Kelley does this art and it's it's just gorgeous so
check out some more let's do it comic books
Robot Chicken is its own style of animation we talked about animation a
couple times seeing love death and robot spider-verse
all these things involve how does it change your perspective on animation I
mean I love seeing people innovate with both style and aesthetics it doesn't
change my perspective it just sort of reminds me that you can always be
evolving but Robot Chicken is stop-motion which is a universal format
we try to do things with that format all the time more in the storytelling and
the comedy of it than in the actual physical accomplishment of it but as
technologies evolved we've been able to try crazier and crazier stuff now
directing a feature which we're definitely going to lean into now I
gotta go the cast is crazy you shot it in Thailand what was that
process like I do like directing live people it was the first full-length
feature that I've directed so I definitely learned a lot I wrote parts
for people that I knew would play them very well cuz I play a guy who prepaid a
second honeymoon for a failing marriage and on the eve of surprising his wife
discover she's been having a year-long affair he scoops his old best friend to
take this trip and figure out what to do comic book wise who's your favorite
bromance since I'm moving about bromances who instead pool in spider-man
it's actually greatest romance of all time so other bromances I enjoy I love
foggy and Matt Murdock daredevil has had this great resurgence recently this is
the man without fear the way they take out daredevil is by instilling him of
fear and he's in the hospital and he's terrified and he doesn't want to get up
again so it's a really different take and that leads directly into the new run
of daredevil each issue ends once again we have one three and four cuz two sold
out because it's selling very well nice job guys and he writes daredevil with
the darkness of the show but each issue ends with a cliffhanger highly recommend
both of these books daredevil Spidey Batman light and fluffy today check them
out guys keeping it optimistic just Shazam happy
so I'll try something new in this episode where we basically have this fun
insane line of comics here you've been out of the game for a bit so I want to
talk about stuff that you haven't seen okay what is this miles book here so
this is champions champions is a book that's very fighting for the rights of
people it's a very grounded book they're fighting for people as peoples it kind
of deals with America right now it's a very political book it's a very
politically charged book it gets a lot of anger in the internet you get this
cover this is where we are in culture that you can have this cover on
ironically published and it'll be a top seller we've done it it's victory is
ours everyone's got a cop
so old man Logan was now remember that it's super successful maybe to success
miles they brought old man Hawkeye because old man Hawkeye was in the book
of Logan so like what if it's his story that's old Wells nothing like what if
everyone gets an old man book well I say doom on their cover which is interested
old man Hawkeye leaded to old man quill so you're finding out this entire
universe of old man Logan everyone's story as they find out the Hulk's are
taking them over and it's kind of like Days of Future past but for the whole
universe okay so this book which I talked to over there for you it's the
last one this is the first few issues of West Coast Avengers let's goes to
vendors you remember is always a kind of joke book were like really they
assembled a team of all of those characters of what's happening and it is
going to be when Poole who is having a weird relationship with Quint inquire of
the x-men you've got Kate Bishop is Hanuman
Saladin and it's all told through reality TV wins
so it's them in a house like real world this character right here slightly
oversized head is brodo that's right MODOK as a bro-bro doc that's gonna keep
the solid for a minute I mean I'm sorry let's stuff to add to my pot let's check
out while it weighs 20 been a fair enough oh look it's my buddy Ryan hey
