X-Men: AoA is my guilty pleasure and holds a special place in my heart. I had been out of comics for years, being stationed in Germany for the past 3 years before this came out. I walked past a comic shop in the mall and X-Men: Alpha caught my eye, so I stopped in and picked it up. AoA brought me back to comics!
It was only yesterday that I was asking myself, “when are Jim and Ed gonna feed me my next Wizard hit?”
That marvel ninja turtles knock off comic did eventually come out but it was renamed to power pachyderms. It is a very strange book and I think it’s worth tracking down just for the oddity.
Spark a bowl and sit back with the Kayfabe bois. Thanks for the quality videos!
I had lunch with Will Eisner a few months before he passed. Fantastic artist, I still have the books he signed to me. Jimmy Palmiotti was there and he would not stfu.
Doug Mahnke went on to do Superman during the Loeb/Kelly era, JLA with Joe Kelly, Batman during the Red Hood storyline and Green Lantern with Geoff Johns. So, maybe not a hosuehold name, but he got assigned to some pretty big titles. A few months ago DC released a hardcover book collecting random issues from his career.
I was having a real terrible day then I noticed I got a new Wizard episode. This day just got a little brighter!
"Some of these X-Men comics were written in a single day". Holy shit. I just wrote, penciled and inked 10 pages of my comic in a year, lol.
I would cut out any pages I liked the artwork on, and sometimes make a scrapbook out of it. I do like the way the Wizard was shilling for Ultraverse, Valiant, Image, DC, and Marvel. I wish they would have reviewed more independent comics. And I loved collecting cards in this time, now you can’t give me any of these crappy card sets except for the Jack Kirby card set.
@@roymakescomics I didn’t know about this , will check it out, thank you
Oh God I remember getting Wizard and Toyfare magazines strictly for the humor
Would love a Tex shoot interview. He has a great knowledge of art / illustration history, and is very entertaining!
the thing is that we all came here for the Wizard commentaries. And we ended up with incredible mind blowing other content. But the Wizard content is just fuc ing insanely perfect and fun. This is bar none the best youtube channel
Very enjoyable episode, Ed &Jim. The 90's was a powerful decade in comics.
My very 1st Wizard Mag was #65 end of 1996 spectacular, and I bought them consecutively until they stopped having a spine and started using staples. I grabbed a few back issues from early 90s but late 90s It became a very overpriced book to buy in Australia for very little info in return :( I miss those 90s Wizard Magazines
This was my first wizard, kinda excited (laughs)
Joey Jerkoff?🤣🤣
It was Cal Dodd who was Wolverine. 😉
i really hope you guys keep the wizard videos going because the issues I had as a kid were from the later half of the 90's and I'd love to revisit them. Hopefully others would like to see this as well.
Looking forward to more Rick Veitch episodes. Can't get enough of his comics!
I love these Wizard recaps. Read almost every issue as released as a comics fan (since age 6) retailer (3 different stores) and distributor (shipping manager Diamond) so fun to watch this, thanks guys.
I love these videos. I dutifully collected all of the terrible X-Men comics in 1995 for a few years until giving up on it and finding better material in other titles. Even as a 10 year old I knew the story telling wasn't as good as the animated series, which I vaguely understood to be adaptations of much better stories. I did enjoy Joe Mad's art though, and I still own and have nostalgia for the terrible 90's comics I read as a kid 😃
15:15 I tried to get my hands on these at my local grocery store. It was the hype talk in my art class. I stashed all 4 titles under a spice rack. After a few weeks of doing this I finally had enough to get them all. But at last someone there had finally stocked the spice rack and they were all gone. Wizard magazine also had the set up issue included with a gold logo.
Great show guys!
So many good hits in the commentary of this issue. Gerard Jones.....wow.............
Also wanted to say Mister Miracle has another run coming, that everyone's favorite nice guy Rico Renzi is doing some work on.
Loved mark Teixeira art as a kid
Hey guys...loving these trips down memory lane! Had all these...!
Wondering if you can help...I seem to remember an issue with a couple of joined promo fleer Ultra cards in in it (Gambit was one...maybe Magneto?)...any idea if I'm remembering correctly and if so which issue?!
I'm a little surprised you guys blew through the Casting Call as fast as you did. Honestly, there were some good choices in there. Yeah, yeah Danzig as Logan is dumb, but back in the 80's we almost got a Kathryn Bigelow directed X-Men movie with Bob Hoskins as Wolvie... THAT would have beenn weird), but there's some picks I LOVE.
First up Rutger Hauer as Magneto is really inspired. Hauer would have been just a year or two removed from Split Second, so he was in phenomenal shape, and Magneto was always portrayed as being ripped (Ian McKellen is a great actor, but I never really saw him as Magneto). I think that would have been amazing.
ALSO, Clancy Brown as Sabertooth?! YES PLEASE! Absolutely inspired choice, and his voice would have been PERFECT.
Micheal Biehn as Cyclops is a solid choice, if a few years too late (Had this been cast in 1987 around Aliens I could absolutely see him in the role).
I get why you guys would fly through it, and yeah I agree the space could have been used for something else, but this is basically the best this article ever was and I would have loved to have seen this lineup in a movie.
was missing the Wizard videos
True Swamp is so good, give it another shot! Also this ep reminded me to reread Dusty Star which I loved as a kid
I remember only reading Generation X at this point out of all the X-books, because of the awesome art by Chris Bachalo and Mark Buckingham
Please do a video on that "Masters of Comic Book Art" video. Your commentary on Ellison telling everyone how great he is and then unzipping his windbreaker to reveal a Fantastic Four T-shirt would be worth the price of admission alone!
Bobbi Chase's mini imprint would be called Marvel Edge. Daredevil, Doctor Strange, the Ghost Rider, the Hulk, Nick Fury, and the Punisher.
There was a Maverick limited series that had some really great artwork. I can't remember the artist's name but I think that's the only thing I've seen him do.
the only thing I remember about 'age of apocalypse' is that Psylocke had short hair before Legion changed history, and then she went back to having long hair. It was almost like Adam Hughes was begging Marvel to let him draw her with short hair and they were like 'just this once, and never bring it up ever again!'. So yeah .. not memorable imo.
if you have valiant vision glasses look at the covers to black hole, he uses warm and cool colors for depth on all of them and they all work properly.
I one time met Jason Lutes at SDCC and told him I was a fan since he was published by Black Eye. He looked confused and told me that he was always published by D&Q, and I thought I was insane until I came home, looked at my bookshelf, and confirmed that Jar of Fools was published by BE.
This issue is responsible for getting me into comics!
When are we going to see you guys do the Wizard that talks about the Kubert school?
What’s the name of the book with wizard covers around the 39 minute mark
if you guys have a copy of them, you should do a Kayfabe on the Steranko History of Comics.
you say nothing of note on a page with madman. how dare you mike Allred is not everyone's cup of tea but I damn well love his artwork. I pretty recently picked up his whole silver surfer run an just find it stunning. I'm a huge fan of black at white but there is just something about the way he does color that just makes his work unique.
Ed is so right about this being the point where hero and indie audiences split. Up until the mid 90's, plenty of indie artists knew enough about current X-Men to goof on them. I honestly can't remember anyone caring enough about AoA to work up an opinion other than a blanket "it sucks".
I bout this when I was a kid at my local comic shop.
9:05 Behind the scenes shenanigans.
5:40 'Adult Thermonuclear Samurai Pachyderms' was advertised as allegedly "Coming Soon!" with a silhouette image somewhere in Marvel Age #40 (or maybe the inside back cover of #50? or thereabouts), iirc, never to be seen or heard from again. It may have been a gag house ad since no other information was given.
I believe it was reworked into a one-shot issue called “Power Pachyderms” in 1989.
@@Tymbus Ah, mystery solved, thanks! I remember spotting the ad but finding no accompanying solicitation, checking what year that issue of Marvel Age was from and thinking the comic would have been a little late to the party as a TMNT parody given assorted Eclipse titles already long on the scene, thereafter assuming the project had been abandoned for that reason. It's presently available as a digital download. 🐘
@@skinc4rver I just realize two days later that the title's name change was likely a play on Marvel's "Power Pack" book. 🐢... 🙃
It would be awesome if you guys could get an interview with Joe Vigil.
❤
14:36 😂🤣😅
Sandman and Neil Gaiman is really good. I own all of it, but man I wish the early image stuff were in collected editions. If it’s not Spawn, Savage dragon, or The Maxx it’s pretty much git fukt. I would do terrible things for a Prophet TPB, or for Top Cow to make the Darkness easier to collect, it’s like pulling teeth.
I miss Wizard and Toyfare both
I hear Ian McShane when I read wolverine. :D Al Swearengen is Logan without the x-gene. Replace (0#!sucker with bub.
to understand the Marvel bankruptcy read the book Comic Wars.
Google Power Pachyderms... the TMNT knock off fad wa done by the time it came out. X-Men parody with Elektra as the female member. wish they crossed over with Spider-Ham
