for discussion in this episode, Void Rivals number

13 by Kirkman, Dave Felice, Del Pesce and Wooten.

Quick synopsis from ImageComics .com news story.

and bold. Pythona of Cobra law ventures deep

into space will her mission spell certain doom

for the void rivals question mark? In my quick

rundown we open at some point in the future with

Lord Galopulus holding Pythona accountable for

not finding the Cybertronians homeworld. We cut

back to present time or is that past time where

Pythona is awakened on her ship by one of her

crew informing her that they have traced the

energon signature from Earth to a planetoid in

their vicinity. Rather than finding living beings

the crew only finds bipedal tracks along with

residual energy signature indicating the ship

has launched from there. Meanwhile, back in the

wasteland, Zelila continues to make her journey

into the center of the Sacred Ring. Somewhere

in deep space, Skuxoid meets up with Bosch. Bosch

offers him his payment, but Skuxoid has become

disillusioned and doesn't even care about the

money. Back in the Sacred Ring, Springer and

Derek arrive at Agoria while Zelila visits Mistress

Ville for help. Zelila makes her way down down

down and comes upon a black pyramid Back in Agoria

with the news that Derek has returned, his father

Dullan summons him for information on the whereabouts

of Selila. They break out into a verbal fight

where Dullan says that they must prevent unity

at all costs and that, quote, unity is our very

end. We close back in Zertonia in the Temple

of Zerta's Light, where Mistress Ville tells

Zellelik that what he was taught about unity

is not true and that while unity may well bring

about an end, what follows is a new beginning.

Thoughts and review of issue number 13. I thought

we were going to get. pythonia and cobra law

and all that and everything else like it's half

of it well it technically it's half of the first

two pages three pages and then that's it like

um wait what i thought this was gonna be her

journey heard this heard that and i don't know

what it is like i was so like i read this thing

twice because I always read it twice just to

make sure I've caught as as much as I can catch

and both times I'm like wait what like after

a year of doing this series I can safely say

this is the first one where I felt like I have

no idea what the hell's going on I have no idea

what's gonna happen next and I'm not even sure

if I want to stay on the right it's not bad it's

not I'm not saying this because I felt That the

issue is bad. I'm saying there's way too much

going on in this issue between Pythonia Starting

out with the flash forward and then we go to

the flashback and in the flashback We have Derek

and Salila on two different planes of existence.

We've got The the the king with his well Derek

is his son, right? I don't even remember as soon

as I'm all screwed up And you got mistress violent

and what's his nuts over there in the armor?

Uh, and then Springer. So yay, Springer. I don't

know! I was lost. Yeah, so I think, right, so

this is issue 13, and I think Image Comics is

having an issue with their 13th issues. Isn't

the unlucky number 13? Is that the problem? Again,

it's not bad. I'm not saying, like, this isn't

me complaining like, oh my god. Could you write

this better, Mr. Waters? This isn't Cobra, this

isn't Destro, this isn't G .I. Joe's talk. This

is not bad. There is just so much in this one

issue. Like, I'm at page 19 of 31, and we have,

uh, let's see, it ends on... We have 22 pages

of comic, essentially. Close 20, 22, somewhere

around there. Not counting the cover, not counting

all the hand -droid, the letters, whatever. So

let's just say we got 20 pages of comic, 20 out

of 31, so we got 11 pages of other stuff, which

is fine. That's fine. They need to solicit. Because

again, I'm thinking about this in the instance

of digital. I'm not thinking about this in the

instance of going into the local comic shop,

picking this up, taking it home. and reading

it. At least, luckily, Image Comics does not

do an ad every other comic book page like DC

and Marvel used to do. And I don't know if DC

and Marvel still do that, but they used to in

their single issues four, five, six, seven years

ago. But yeah, there's so much packed into this.

And it's like, where am I supposed to look? What

am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to be

paying attention to? Because you're packing in

all of these characters who we don't know. Most

of them. I mean we know them because we've read

the comic for the past 12 issues from the past

year But like pythony is brand new to us. She's

only been in what one other issue I think two

maybe I don't remember at this point She's been

in a few. Okay. Yeah, not avoid rivals, but she's

been in a universe comics. Yeah Yeah, so and

that's what I'm saying. She's a new character

to void rivals the the void rivals series And

it just seems like they're throwing everything

into the kitchen sink in this one issue. Like

I'm really wondering what the rest of 14, 15

and 16 between this month in November, December

is issue 15 and then January next year is issue

16. I'm wondering how much they're going to cram

into all those because I was overstimulated with

this issue. Yeah. I mean, I think that's the

best way to sum this up. Right. If we go off

from the preview for this particular issue, one

would assume that the entire focus is going to

be on Python. And that's simply not the case

here. And that completely threw me off at the

start of this. Right. Because, like I said, in

my my rundown here, the first and second page,

if if page three is any indication, then page

one and two or whatever it technically is here

in this comic. Yeah, it's. It's taking place

at some point in the future after she's already

gone on her journey. And, uh, what's his face

here? What's this guy's name? Um, yeah, Lauren

Galobulus. Right. He, he's, he's assuming or

things that she's failed on her, on her mission,

which I don't think she has. I think that's just

the information she's delivering to him. But

that's the that's the problem, right? That's

taking place at some point in the future. And

then we jump backwards. But again, there's no

there's no indication of like, right. There's

no text on the page that says some point in the

future or back in the past or present or whatnot.

And it's like, I'm totally lost when I first

read that the first time. And I'm like, I don't

know what's happening again. I read this very

early in the mornings. I'll see. And for me,

I have to read it twice because, number one,

the first time when I were any kind of not just

this. It's not just because of wood, it's not

because it's image, it's not because it's skype.

Any comic in the last 12 and a half years that

I've been doing my comic book podcast over on

the GeekCast Radio Network, the pull bag, jump

inside the pull bag today, anytime I do the show,

I want to make sure before I record an episode

that the comic is fresh in my mind because my

brain isn't, it's apparently never been what

it used to be kind of thing. And I need to make

sure I have everything correct. So the first

time when I read it, like when, when comics come

out every Wednesday, Good yay new comic book

day awesome I will read it six o 'clock in the

morning, and then I won't read it again until

I'm supposed to record whatever podcast it is

whether it's Here on your lovely show or if it's

on my own show whatever so I read it some most

the time two times sometimes I will read it three

times and The problem I have always had in comics

in general if you're going to time jump if you're

going to Like you said, the only text on this

first page is, you have failed me, you have failed

Cobra Law. You could have put something up in

the right hand corner of that saying, this is

the near future, or this is now and that was

then, or this is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

or like anybody, and I'm gonna say anybody, any

letterer. Any editor, any, anybody. I'm not calling

out Russ specifically. No, no, no. I'm not calling

him out specifically because maybe it was maybe

Kirkman didn't tell him. Like something happened

here where an instruction was not given to give

out time of when this is. So let's just say this

is the future. Okay. And then we go back to.

then which is weird because in this opening page

they've got the Globulus with his his scream

face to open we've got him Up against by Thonia

there. We've got the next page with everything

going on and then we get the next page on the

next page here where The second panel where she

says what do you see a cronus so that page? That

page at the bottom panel has later on it. And

then the next page, when we go to the wasteland

with Springer and Derek, that has wasteland on

it to let you know that we are in a different

part of the story. So, how could you not, on

this very opening page, you have failed, Cobra

Law, put something? In the upper right hand corner,

where there's nothing but black space, it's not

messing with the art, it's not messing with the

letters that, um, whatever the character's name

is saying here. It's not messing with any of

that. Same thing when you switch the thing to

the rest of it, like why couldn't you have done

that? To tell us. And there are some comics that

do it. There are some, I remember there was an

issue of IDW Publishing's Transformers More Than

Meets The Eye, where it was a constant to every

panel. You know how they have the guided view

on the thing, where you can zoom in, okay, so.

On that, there was a page with nine different

panels. Every panel was a different point in

time, and it lets you know that it was a different

point in time. So it isn't like they couldn't

have done that. So, okay, fine, we go to the

wasteland, we go to Derek and Springer, and they're

on their little journey and all this and all

that, and that's fine, and... Derek is missing

his hand job, I mean, hand droid, not hand job,

you know, kind of thing, because there's a panel

here where he looks at his hand and, I know,

not helpful. But it's just one of those things

where I'm liking that. The problem with this

issue that I'm seeing is, yes, you're right.

We've seen Pythonia in other comics. We have

not seen her in this comic. We needed something

here. to introduce the larger void rivals audience

to this character. I mean, something, just a

little, it doesn't have to be like a whole thing

of her origin or anything like that, it doesn't

need to be a two -issue special interrupting

the story, telling you where the hell Starscream

was, sorry, whoops. You know, it doesn't have

to be any of that, it just has to be something.

And then the rest of it is, the rest of the...

zirtonians naragonian characters going back and

forth about unity no unity unity no unity blah

blah blah it's the worst game engine ever. So

yeah i don't dislike the issue but as i was reading

this the first and the second time these 20 pages

literally i looked at it jesse and i blinked

and it was done not kidding and i'm not saying

that i'm not saying that to be mean about it

i'm saying like Literally the two times that

I read this I read it in under five minutes I

want to be able to say that I've read a comic

book issue in maybe 15 to 20 minutes because

I'm really Delved into the story kind of thing

and there is kind of sort of set up here But

it's more teasing than anything else It's like

the whole issue between the father and the son

the king and the whatever the prince here the

whole unity no unity thing Okay, fine. Great.

That's like one and it's two full pages three

maybe And then we go back to Zyrtonia, temple

of Zyrta's light, which it's really dark in there.

There's no light. You need some glow sticks.

Exactly. You know, every time I move, now that

I'm, you know, 44 years old, almost 45, my back

keeps cracking, my wrists keep cracking. I keep

all the snap, crackle and pop cereal in me, but

I don't glow at all. And I'm kind of pissed that

I'm not glowing like a glow stick over here.

It's not a bad issue it just packs too much in

yes i think going back to what you just said

about it. Not really being set up more of a tease

i think you nailed it because in reading this

it's really. You can kind of see where different

pieces race is weaving different threads here

and there but again is not really much of a setup

is really a more of a tease and i think that

was that was like the perfect way to describe

it. Yeah, but I would agree with you. This is

like a fast burn issue, right? I mean, you start

to finish very quickly. It sounded like maybe

before we started recording, you were going to

come down a little bit harsher on it. I think

I'm going to. Again, I think Image Comics is

having an issue with issue 13. of the series

so far again i wasn't a big fan of transformers

number 13 this one it feels like it's the first

miss of all the void rivals in my opinion like

again i know i've like if people go back and

listen i know i've complained about some of these

issues being kind of slow right and i get it

the setup not everything's got to be the the

all -out action But this just feels like again,

it's all over the place. It feels weird. It feels

different than the other issues for some reason.

And maybe it's because there's like so many different

threads being thrown at us. But yeah, like you

said, based on what we saw for the preview for

this issue, I was a good, I was expecting it

to be all about Pythona, you know, doing the

search, right? Cause on the whatever page we

last see her on, right? They land on this, this

Rockoid planetoid thing and they find the tracks.

Obviously that's where we met. Skyfire? Jetfire?

Jetfire, thank you. That's where we met. Jetfire,

that's where our two protagonists were, right?

They left in the ship that they had, cobbled

together. So obviously that's where they were

and obviously they're going to follow this energy

signature to be able to kind of track down where

they are. So I assume they're going to be taken

to the Sacred Ring at some point. We don't see

that in this issue. That's probably going to

be coming at some point way in the future, maybe.

But yeah, I think there's just way too much here,

right? Because we were split off with Celila

on her own. We've got Python here. Just throw

in Lord Galobulus for whatever reason for that

two panel some point in the future. We got Skooksoid.

We have Derek. Springer, right, as kind of their

own separate thing. And then Derek's kind of

on his own. And then Derek meets up with his

father. And then we've we we are here with Lord,

what's his name, Zilelek, Premier Zilelek, sorry,

not Lord, and then Mistress Ville. And it's just

like there's it's all over the place. And it's

very hard, in my opinion, it was very hard to

follow what was going on. And yeah, going back

to what you were saying about, I guess I started

the conversation of where they said they should

have it should have had the text up in the corner

of right at some point in the future. It does

it for literally everything else, just not that

that first panel. It doesn't make sense to me.

Yeah. And like I said, it's not there is too

much here. But it's not bad. What is bad about

there being too much in this issue is, like I

said, it's you're overstimulated because you

don't know what to focus on. Now, if we had the

full on Python issue where it's her kind of like

how we had a five issue mini series of Scarlet.

I'm not saying Python needs a five issue mini

series. I'm saying we had a centralized look

at one character and what that character was

doing. Right. This issue was that with that character.

She was sent on a mission to do something. I

still don't know what the hell she's supposed

to be doing, because there's so much else here.

I will say, out of everything that's here, I

want the Derek and Springer show more than anything

else. Yeah, 100%. I think even the stuff with

Celila and Handroid at this point, it's like...

I'd rather see them all together as a group,

right? I guess in this case a trio with Android.

I don't want to see them broken off and split

up. Yeah, and maybe that's what they're going

to be going towards in the future. I just don't

think this was written to the point of... I don't

think Mr. Kirkman wrote this to the point of

letting us know. Where it was supposed to be

going maybe i'm missing something if people are

listening to this please listen to the other

ones that we've done please listen to the stuff

will do in the future but it's one of those things

where did i miss something i don't think i did

because i understood all of the plot lines they're

just too many plot lines right yeah i'm trying

to figure out because i'm going through the void

rivals issues here i'm trying to figure out like

where where python was introduced in void rivals

here do we know how far back that was i have

no idea Her first thing hurt so there was 14

so there was a point again i apparently don't

know what comic it is and was it's in transformers.

Where your lord globulus one to send her out

to. I don't remember if it was to figure out

if we what the cybernetic beans were where they

were from I guess in this particular issue here

on that first page he does say that you like

you failed me and in this sense so I guess that's

what he was wanting her to do. So what he says

is let me scroll back here. He says specifically

he says Cybertronians these metal monstrosities

are an affront to all we hold dear. You were

sent to find their homeworld, learn their weaknesses,

bend their abhorrent artificial bodies until

they break. So that was kind of her mission.

I don't remember what issue it was, but there

was an issue where we saw her take off in the

ship, whatever it was. Yeah, I know. I got it

right here. Okay. Sorry, Yelp. Sorry. So what

issue is that? Her appearances start at Cobra

Commander number 1, 2, and 5, and then Void Rivals

number 13. So she's in Cobra Commander 5. That's

what it is, OK. Yeah, she's in 1, 2, and 5. OK.

So she debuted in Cobra Commander number 1 for

the Energon universe. I'm assuming this is issue

5. Let's see here. Are you serious? Rise of Cobra

Commander to build an army Cobra Commander makes

a deal with powerful allies. But yeah, I don't

know what else. And the sad thing about, well,

the sad thing about fandom dot whatever, gijo

.fandom .com with Joepedia is they don't really

have, they have one descriptor. Pithona is an

evil character in the Energon Universe GI Joe

comics from Skybound, loyal to Cobra Law and

Globulus and doesn't like Cobra Commander very

much. That's it. That's all the information we

have about the character in this specific Wikipedia

online. She was apparently in the 80s GI Joe

movie? Yeah, she was in Real American Hero. At

some point let me go back over here. Yeah, so

there's two listings for there's the energon

universe listing in this real American hero listing

She was in the comics gejo versus transformers

animated continuity symbol animated series. I

don't know if it's only invaded co -op over here

quarters and reach serpent or revealing herself

as having come from a secret civilization known

as cobra law she is formidable femme fatale assassin

she and serpent to appear to share feelings for

each other. So i mean it's not that she's a.

Totally new character. It's just that she's not

because again if you look at the okay So at her

appearances, like I said Cobra commander one

two and five So she was in three out of the five

issues of Cobra commander and her debut and void

rivals is this this issue issue number 13 now

She doesn't seem to be doing much here because

she gets scolded in the beginning and then it

cuts to everybody else Like why do you awaken

me? Yes, yeah Yeah, you get literally his ugly

ass face yelling at her You get him saying something

to her and her saying what does she say to him?

She says instead you had me doing instead you

have done nothing You are too weak and pathetic

child unworthy of the name. Yeah, she actually

doesn't say anything to him. Oh, she doesn't

say anything Okay, that's him talking. Okay.

Yeah Hey, yeah, so she doesn't really do anything,

but yet she's the star on the cover of the comic

leading us to believe that we're gonna get some

sort of adventure with her. I don't dislike this

issue overall, like I've already said. I just

wish that between the solicitation of it and

the front cover of it, the main cover... This

is what I also wish we could do with digital.

I wish we could... Since it's digital and it

doesn't really matter. I wish we could choose

the cover we get because I would have chosen

any of the other I'm not saying this because

I think the cover is bad I'm saying because the

cover for the story that's in this issue is misleading

We get one page with her and that's it like yeah,

that's not enough. That's not enough especially

for when your your solicit basically says She's

going on a mission, she's doing this, she's doing

that. Yeah, what's odd is she's actually on two

of the covers, the main one obviously, and then

there is another, I don't know if it's cover

C, but there's another one where she's on there

almost like leading an attack or leading her

forces, but it's like, we don't see anything

like that. In fact, when she's out with her forces

on the planetoid, she's like behind all of them,

like she's not leading anyone. No. Yeah i again

i think this one was a miss this of all the wood

rivals right and i have picked up the yeah i

picked up the trades i think this is the biggest

misstep so far for four wood rivals and i don't

know that i would recommend again. I'm not i'm

not done with this series at all because of one

issue yeah but i would i would say if you are

jumping into the series don't don't start with

this issue. She's gonna be like, all right, I'm

out. Go back and read from issue one. But yeah,

I think of all of them, I think this is the biggest

misstep so far when it comes to this series.

I agree. Anything else for this issue? No, I

don't think so. All right. Well, you have previews

for us then. Yes, I do. So coming November 27th,

so the end of this month, right before Thanksgiving,

we have void rivals number 14. Derek isn't back

in Agoria for one day before they send him back

out into space to get a shot at Derek's loyalty

to Agor - Oh, to get shot at. That's what it

says. God, if I could read right. Derek's loyalty

to Agoria is put to the test as he is forced

to prove himself. Dun dun dun. Once again, I

like the alternate cover more and mainly because

one of the alternate covers is Hot Rod, but that's

just me. And then Void Rivals. Well, boy, do

we have a cover for you for the next one. That's

right. Full movie magic, ladies and gentlemen,

and thankfully it is the number one cover. So

I know I'm getting that at least. Void Rivals

number 15. Dave Felici did a great job on cover

A for that, but yeah, this is coming. Why? Why?

Comic book shops should not be open on Christmas

Day. Why? They better change that. I hope. It

says the 26th. That's a day after. Well, this

says the 25th. At least what Bleeding Cool says.

Maybe they did change it. BlendingComics .com

says 26th. Okay. Well, that's fine. That's better,

anyway, because comic book shops should not be

open on Christmas. Nothing should be open on

Christmas. You're supposed to be at home spending

it with your family and friends. Void Rivals,

number 15, in shops late December, before, after,

at Christmas. Everyone's favorite Autobot, Hot

Rod, finds his way to the Sacred Ring. What news

of Cybertron does he bring to Springer, and how

dire are things? And how much trouble can two

Autobots cause in Agoria? Tons! By the way, before

you go to 16, I'm very curious to see because

he's been looking for Springer all this time.

I'm very curious to see what their dynamic is

once they actually do meet up. I know, right?

Yep. Yeah, that's gonna be fun. And then in January

of 2025, ladies and gentlemen, 2025 is not that

far away right now. Out January 22nd, 2025. Ooh,

why? wait a minute void rivals number 16 says

oh it's a double issue that's why holy crap i

did not realize that okay sorry i'm just looking

at the stuff here folks that i didn't look at

scuxoid versus python the battle you didn't know

you wanted and what it says is january 22nd 2025

56 pages full color five dollars 99 cents Because

I look at that, I'm like, wait a minute, why

is it five now? Oh, it's double. I love the covers

to 16, though. Now, where are you seeing this?

Because an image comics, it just says three ninety

nine. Really? I'm on bleeding cool. All right.

I don't know. Here's here's the image comics

link. Yeah, that's three. Yeah, I can go to image.

Is it the same page count? It doesn't show page

count. It doesn't show page count. Okay, well,

it should show page count. Interesting. It shows

two different covers as well. One also has Hot

Rod on it. Yeah, the Hot Rod cover and then the...

Okay. What Bleeding Cool has is... That's it.

Hey, if it's a double issue, I'm here for it

because the more story. No, I'm not. Yeah, I'm

not complaining. It was just the thing of I saw

the I saw the price and I was like, wait, what?

Why is it six dollars? And then I looked at it

again on the information that bleeding cool has.

I was like, oh, that's why, because it's 56 pages.

It's double the page count. That's why it's it's

six bucks now because they added the word up

at the top some point in the future. No, that's

not pay for that. That's not why That's not why

and yeah, I know we're probably gonna get the

The skuxoid as the main cover, which is fine.

That's a nice photo of skuxoid, but I like I

like the hot rod one hot rod one better because

that looks really cool. So if what Bleeding Cool

has is accurate, I'm wondering if they decided

to change something or do something different

based on after the fact from when Image Comics

posted the information. Maybe. I'm going to get

on Twitter and ask them because we kind of need

to know. I am looking at the page you sent here

that's got all this on it. I am liking that Cobra

Commander GI Joe number three cover. Yes, that

looks so cool. Yes, that looks so cool. Very,

very cool. If only that were the main cover.

Yeah, if only. I like the one in the middle.

Actually, the two Baroness covers and the one

of the website anymore. I was like twitter .com.

No, that's not the name of the website anymore

Is now x .com all right. Yeah, so we got three

upcoming issues looking forward to Yeah, anything

else on those no, I'm really looking forward

to it. Yeah, we were a little Taken aback by

this issue only because there's so much in it,

but Overall, it's not a bad thing. I would if

I was doing like a zero to five rating I'd probably

give issue 13 maybe a three three and a half

which is middle ground at best I just find it

odd that if this is the start of a new story

arc, which presumably someone new could jump

into Just doesn't feel like it. No, it doesn't

feel like it at all. It feels like it continues

where it left off. Yeah. So, yeah. All right.
