Ryan North

Really? Read this creator list, though.

Bendis, Christopher Cantwell, David Walker, Ryan North, Megan Camarena, Mike Mahan, Derek Charm, Michael Alred, Laura Alred.

This is loaded.

It is loaded.

I didn't love it.

But...

But there are other things like a story set in the canon of the 70s animated series by Ryan North and Derek Charm.

It's amazing.

That's the way Pete does it.

Doom Quest, number four from Marvel, written by Ryan North, art by Francesco Mobili.

Uh, Doom has been doing a little bit of a Quantum Leap situation, if you will-

Oh, yes

I, I just love this series.

Every issue is completely different.

Um, Ryan North just has a master's hold on Doctor Doom and his character.

I thought this was fantastic.

But this, this run by Zdarsky, starting with his Dave Coulier stuff and, and into this, it's just really, really great stuff.

Uh, Fantastic Four 16, Ryan North, Ramon Rosanas, Edgar Delgado, and Joe Carmagnole opens with this caption.

"It started with a crash landing on an alien world.

It will end with our deaths and a lie bigger than all of us." The FF find themselves stuck on a world with a society and technology at around the level of our early 20th century, which makes repairs on their ship a vexing problem.

Uh, we've mentioned Star Trek a lot on the podcast tonight.

Um, Star Trek 60th anniversary special is dropping this week.

Uh, Bendis, Cantwell, David F. Walker, Ryan North-

Wow

yeah it's always on in the house thank you very much

We are covering today the last bit of the Ryan North Erica Henderson Squirrel Girl comic books, the original graphic novel, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats Up the Marvel Universe.

We always said that we would come back to this when we missed Squirrel Girl.

And now with our own little nut about to become a tree, Larry Day coming into the world.

I think anyone else who is as unerringly kind compassionate empathetic and everything else that dorian green is i tend to find saccharin and leaves like a canker sore in my mouth and i was like i need somebody i need peter parker who will save the day but kind of fucking hate it and yet squirrel girl takes that and i was gonna say stomps on it but no she doesn't she just explains to me very level-headedly and intelligently yeah why her way is better.

Probably with a whiteboard and a broker.

And it's such a testament to Ryan North's ability as a writer that this book never feels conflict adverse or conflict of... or empty of conflict either.

Like, not only is...

Yeah.

Um, also out last week, uh, Fantastic Four, which I felt was one of the most science fiction-esque stories that Ryan North has told yet.

I mean, this almost even felt like a Twilight Zone episode.

It's good.

more sense than Rage of Ultron because it is like you get to do your Thanos thing in your world.

And then there's a Ryan North graphic novel, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats Up the Marvel Universe.

And then you lied to me about some winter thing.

There's no such thing.
