D4VE2 Issues 4

Welcome to The Pull Bag. Join us as we dig out

our latest comics and discuss them with a rotating

panel of the JCRN crew. So sit back and enjoy

this week's Pull Bag. Hello and welcome to The

Pull Bag. This is episode 127. I am your host,

Dave Jones -Mike. Joining me is, once again,

Nicole Bigelzeva -Hale -Storm. Hello. Bonjour.

Aloha. Hello. Hola? I don't know what else to

say. had the first series, IDW has the second

series. As always, Story and Letters by Ryan

Ferrier, Art and Colors by Valentin Ramon. The

first, this is four issues instead of five this

time. The first issue has three covers. The main

cover is Dave and, well, it's the statue of himself

and he's sitting on it with... a couple of crazy

taxi looking or fifth element looking taxis flying

by. What if it's his car? Yeah, but it looks

like Bruce Willis' taxi from Fifth Element. The

second cover is a... Let me zoom in here, I can't

even see it. The second cover is him, what looks

like in prehistoric times, so that's kind of

a big giveaway. It's kind of like a play on Planet

of the Apes. Yeah, that's true. If only there

was a giant meter made. Oops, wrong franchise.

And then the final cover, which has to be my

favorite, Slime on the Wall. He's sitting on

the toilet. I don't know why. Because I assume

this is an office bathroom. I don't think this

is his own personal bathroom at home, but I assume

this is somewhere in his corporate life. Yeah,

I don't know. Well, there's a picture in the

background, so I'm thinking it might be his.

Maybe. Yeah, that's my favorite. I love that

cover. Yeah, the one with the bathroom. Yeah,

that's my favorite, too. That's actually going

to be part of the art for the featured banner

for the episode. So, we open up and we have a

statue of Dave being erected in the city. Well,

it has been erected. Well, yeah. And people are

starting to already graffiti it. Yeah. How'd

they get up there? Grappling hooks. It's, you

know, apparently Batman. You know, stopped off

at the local hardware store or something and

supplied them with a bunch of grappling hooks.

I like that there's a target on his crotch. I

think his son probably did that. Scotty is such

an ass in this story. Yeah, Scotty needs therapy.

Remember when the preview for this first issue

came out I was cycling through the the preview

pages and I hadn't read the first series yet.

I just Had seen that the the second series had

started and I'm like, okay, I'll put you know,

I need I'm on IDW server list So well, yeah,

cool. I'll put the preview on the GCR and said

I put it on there so I just started looking through

the pages and the whole what's up, but horns

and this is Dave and coming alive from Earth,

which I saved from an alien invasion 365 night

cycles ago. It's just and you know, you know,

we've already talked about the first series the

day this goes live, so I still love these characters.

They're great characters. They're very well written.

Yeah, I mean Ryan has done such a great job with

this. It's just so cool. So Dave is stuck in

traffic. As always. Traffic ass dick cars. He's

just like anyone that's stuck in a traffic jam,

you know? The commute can still upload its face

to its ass, but I only recall the city pretty

good. Yeah, I love this whole city scene, especially

the flasher. Yes. Robo -flasher. That's just

not even right. Where he's showing his inner

circuits. Yeah. Yeah. So at the end of the first

series we had him kind of going into his wanton

profession of Being in the military and kind

of getting his old life back kind of I mean obviously

he's not on the battlefield and all that stuff,

but he's You know ranking general in the military

here, yeah, he's he's he's working with the cadets

Yep, he's... Ladies and gentlemen, I can't even

imagine this, but... You take R. Lee Ermey...

You take Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket

and you put his voice to Dave and oh my god,

that would be amazing! He's essentially a drill

sergeant for the cadets. Which includes his son.

Yeah, which includes his son, which that's...

interesting because at first um because originally

I took a bunch of bullet point notes as I was

reading this and I you know one of my first notes

was um well this started out very well which

means I do not trust Ferrier for one jobs damn

second I just don't trust the guy now he's writing

this way too cool he's writing this to be way

too good and you know some sort of shit he's

gonna hit the fan I have two notes here. At first

it was nice to see Scotty making something of

himself, and then something happens down the

line where I wrote, Scotty is such an ass. It's

like a circuit went off and it was just like,

whoo! To me it's like, and we'll get to this,

it's like Scotty could only have one person love

him in his life. First it was his mom and he

hated his dad. He now he he likes his dad We'll

get to this in the future and he doesn't like

anyone else basically and like but then we'll

see his his friend Brad Brad yeah, Brad So and

then starting his dad again Yeah, yeah pretty

much So we have this new character here saying

hey Dave the cadets are all ready for you in

there and At first I didn't read the name right.

I read it as 93rd for some odd reason Are you

talking about Steve? Oh Beth. Oh Beth. Okay.

I read it as a I read the B as a 9 and I'm like

wait, huh? What the hell did I just do? So we've

got the training sequence here that's coming

up we've got everybody pretty much respecting

Dave, for the most part. Well, he saved the world,

of course. Yeah, that's true. General Private

Scotty's calibrating again. Oh god, that's nuts.

That's so disgusting. It's just not even right.

I can't pass problems, man. He needs to upgrade.

Yeah. No, dude, the jerkin. We talked about this,

like, a vagillion times already. Oh boy. So they're

going through drills. We meet Brad. And Brad's

pretty much on Dave's side for the most part.

I like Brad. Brad's cool. He's got 3D glasses.

Who knew 500 years in the future 3D glasses would

come back? Like actual... 1980s plastic these

things look like the old plastic red and blue

glasses. I love them. I mean you just look at

the thing where he says thank you Brad y 'all

butthorns need to listen to Brad here he's good

shit. You look at Brad and I mean literally the

side of the glass is they are if Brad had an

actual ear they would be sitting on his ears

because it doesn't look like they Come across

the back of his head. It looks like the your

part. Maybe some like screws there Well, yeah.

Yeah, I mean screws for years. He's a robot but

I'm saying like if there was a if it was a human

it looks like the a because sometimes when artists

do 3d glasses 3d anything they will sometimes

do the whole headband thing in the back So it

looks more uniform, but I like this this kind

of retro. I do too. Yeah absolutely And why is

it every time I see Dave, I keep thinking that

his whole head is a video camera? You know, you

mentioned last episode where green is when he's

happy and red is when he's angry. All I can think

of is when he's red, he's filming everything.

It is like says like 2001 Space Odyssey. I can't

do that Dave Yeah, I just clicked on that clip

beforehand and I still that movie is That movie

is so old now I Still good. No, I'm not saying

it's not good. I'm just saying like I didn't

realize how old the movie was I didn't realize

it was a movie from 1968 I thought it was something

like from our generation uh so we've got um we've

got uh steve coming in here and he needs uh dave

in the communications room because something's

coming up on the radar steve is awesome too he's

like the vet that is like missing every body

part but he won't give up i love steve Also,

I can think of seeing his left leg Lieutenant

Dan, you got magic legs And Dave assumes that

it's gonna be fucking aliens again Yeah, and

they have this giant pod that just kind of I

Love Dave I really do like I wasn't sure like

okay, so the first story You know as we talked

about in episode 126 is basically the whole Jux

of the story is the you know alien invasion the

destruction of earth and here they're obviously

like we said rebuilding and trying to move on

and then Farrier just throws a complete 180 at

us and throws time travel in I love it though.

Oh, I know I love it, too I think it's great

like I wasn't sure what to expect from the second

series after reading Yeah, I just wonder where

they were going for yeah, cuz I thought oh, you

know like like Dave said oh No, not another alien

invade like I thought it was gonna be another

alien invasion story, and I'm glad it wasn't

I'm glad it's showing that Basically what they've

done here folks in this four -issue story in

this for the second arc of the franchise here

is Basically shown you the error of the robots

ways as the story as the story will go along

here I love Dave's like banana pants McFuck buttons.

It was only a matter of time before something

came out of that damn space gapper So yeah, something

came out of that damn space gapper Somebody asks

him should we put Earth on panic status. No,

not yet. We don't need the planet losing all

their shits over what very well could be just

some weirdo space garbage. Yeah, and you know

what, that's smart thinking. I think that was

Beth that, yeah, that was Beth that asked him

that. I don't know. Some of these far away shots

when, like... Don't know some of the angles and

the and it's not it's not a thing against the

art But it's hard for me to decide because it's

a new character and seen her before so Oh, you

get a really good angle shot. I think is in the

next issue Mmm. Yeah of her best side. Yeah I

love how Dave in the next few panels basically

is, because he's back in traffic stuck with the

kids and you know Brad is just kind of blankly

staring at him and he's like shit sorry Brad

language don't talk like that kids. Like I thought

that Farrier was gonna make this a PG -13 or

a PG book after that and then no it gets even

gets even worse ass full now what I do like the

creativity on this page because yep you see Brad

staring at him and the next panels is him seeing

Dave through the red glass and Scotty through

the blue glass I love it yeah it's so awesome

it really really is The funny thing is, is that

looking at the art here, he switched the glasses.

Did he? Okay, you look at his blank expression

when he's looking at them. Then we get the two

panels with Dave on the left and Scotty on the

right, red for Dave and blue for Scotty. Next

panel, the reds on the right, blues on the left.

Maybe they're magical. Magical 3d glasses with

dungeon dice in the car. Yep There's nothing

like a bunch of fuzzy dice in in a car people.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with fuzzy dice So

his ex The little walking robot I love how it's

just okay. So it's a military robot It's got

like floating hands and it's just basically flipping

Dave off Where is that? At the very top panel.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Wow. No love for Dave. No love

for Dave. Not at all. So Sally calls him. There's

more, uh... drama that's gonna take place here

because they're still obviously split up. Sally

has this new... I guess you could say... Robo

-toy, I guess you could say? So, you know, she's

basically calling him because something's come

up and she needs him just to have Scotty spend

the weekend at his place or whatever. and she

cuts it out really, really fast and he hangs

up and Scotty's just LOL -ing and I love the

A -D -S -A -S -D -F -T -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H

-H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H

-H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H

-H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H

-H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H

-H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H

-H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H -H It's like, huh, I'm

gonna give you the finger and no wait, that's

not the finger. That's something completely different.

That's a two for one. Yeah Quite literally and

we're not gonna tell you what the one is, folks.

Use your imagination. What are we thinking so

far for the first issue with this basically being

a father -son friend kind of trip? Yeah, it's

getting it's a really it's reading really quick

because you see you know what's what's going

on in the future you you see the relationship

between him and sally and his son you see that

uh he is trying his best to be the best at his

job because he's going to get fired again you

know so yeah but i when i got to this point like

i don't know what to expect you know what this

pod is but we will see that so that was yeah

it's been really good yeah And we go to Sally's

place and Fred's being a whiny bitch. He's picked

on because he needs to be a boy toy and he's

not being paid attention to. And I love that

someone is graffitiing their house. Where it

says Hillary sucks and then later on they cover

it up with Hillary supports freedom of speech.

And you can you know as they cover it up you

know Scottie Dave goes to pick Scottie up and

he and Fred kind of have a thing and Sally and

Dave talk for a bit and Then the dog humping

starts they got a dog and The dog has taken after

Scottie Yeah, Scotty's been teaching that I've

been programming that dog with some bad shit,

right? And the dog I know it's a robot, but I

was not expecting the dog to be able to talk

I love it. I was not because he He doesn't just

talk he also makes dog sounds put me down you

fucking sack of shit wolf It's like... It's like,

oh my god. Like, seriously. Eat his dickholes.

Fuck! Okay, let's go already. Oh jeez, hello!

He's got a super soaker. Yeah, so? How did they

work this stuff in? It is just so cool how valentine

and and ryan work ryan for the writing and valentine

he's got a fucking super soaker 50 it looks like

i love it just You know for a comic that is set

you know Years and years and years and years

and years in the future i mean this is really

a retro love letter to anything that we grew

up with Well the thing is they've taken on You

know, the human stuff. They even talk about Terminator

later on. Yep. Yep. Yeah, they do. So, we get

back to Dave's place. He tries to be the cool

dad, and just can't. Just falls flat on his robot

face. See, this is where I don't get... It's

like Scottie just... He went Nuts right here.

It's just like he was being okay with his dad

as soon as he got home It's like he went crazy.

It's like I don't love you to work away from

me. I guess it's a little teenager I guess Yeah,

and he essentially farted in his face. That's

so disgusting. So disgusting and of course the

dog wants some leg time. That dog needs help.

Yeah, the dog and Scotty both need counseling

people. So they go downstairs and they watch

this video what holo whatever it is and you look

around this room and there's a skateboard. Yep.

There's a RC car. Giant well if it was blue.

I would almost say the larger one is Bigfoot

Yeah, and the orange one orange one could be

wheelie It kind of does look like a wheelie huh

yeah kind of does So Scotty and Brad have this

the this conversation about his dad and you know

they talk about how their best friends and we

See this moment of them eventually holding hands

which we can only assume You know, which is there's

nothing wrong with that I wasn't that that was

one thing I wasn't expecting gay teen robots

not you know, like I said I mean they showed

them being very sexual in the first series so

Why not homosexuality? Yeah Why not? Dave's upstairs

asleep, and the dog is still humping his leg.

Gravity meat bulb fuck buns. Oh, I love the swearing.

I'm not a big fan of lots of swearing, but for

some reason it works in this comic. It works

in this because he's... Okay, they use the word

fuck, and they use ass, and they use shit, but...

Like I mean jobs damn it or jobs day I mean,

you know for the love of walls And ever since

we did that first episode in episode 120 the

first review an episode I still can't stop saying

those two things now He's he gets a call from

Beth and she's just leaving the office and he

wanted to keep him in the loop about How they

have the crash thing there and How two of the

night shifters only two people are gonna be watching

this thing and The two guards they're playing

go fish. Okay. I know we've said that the robots

have adapted the human customs, but At least

play poker or blackjack or something. Go fish,

really? Maybe that's the only deck that they

had. Maybe they didn't have a poker deck. They

only have a go fish deck. Strip old maid? I don't

know. Well, it's apparently strip fish is what

it is. Oh my god. It's just so... It's just so

wrong, folks. It really, really is. I love it.

I think it's funny. It's funny, but just seeing

it play out is just so wrong. It's kind of like

that Donkey Show on Clerks, too. It's so horrifying,

yet I can't look away. So we get an alert from

this pod thing And there they're all about party

party party and they're not even paying attention

to the alert and the pod thing opens up and oh

My god humans. Yeah, that was that was a good

turn. I like that That was a really good turn

for the first issue Overall, how did you feel

reading this back again? I think I thought it

was great. I think it was really fun. I mean

you get back with the characters It's got a good

pace. This one's definitely got a good pace to

it You know it leaves you like wondering okay,

so What's happening to poor Dave? Will him and

Beth actually get together or I Think they're

a little too awkward Both of them. It's not even

like okay normally in like that first date scenario

One or the other is awkward, but they are both

I'm loving it. I think it's great. I mean, I

wasn't sure where they were gonna take it Yeah,

you know I oh my I I think it's interesting that

They have the whole best friend kind of thing

with Scotty and Brad, and it is what it is, and

that's fine. Everyone's entitled to their choices.

I have no problem with that whatsoever. I'll

tell you this, folks. This is not a comic you

should be showing to children at all. Not with

all those cuss words. Not just with the cuss

words. I know, but just... You know what? You're

saying some of the things that they say. This

is... This series, the whole series, is really

made for people like us, people that are from

the 80s that would get the references or that

would catch the little nuances. It's just so

cool. More adults need to be reading this story.

They really do. So the second issue... I assume

we are opening up with a flashback or a dream.

He's having a dream. He's dreaming. Yeah, because

the dog is... Yeah, the dog's having his way

with his head. Oh my god. It's almost like burning

him. What the... What did they... That's not...

That's not burn. No, look, it's red. I know it's

red, but that's not... Well from friction maybe

okay, but the Okay, yeah it is yeah At first

I thought it was something worse, but now I realized

that it's actually smoke from the friction burn,

but yeah That's the last thing we need is dog

jizz on Dave's eye Probably won't be the last

time no I love how he says, get, go on, get,

get out of here. Fuck you, wolf. I like his name,

P -nut, as just P and U -T. Yeah. For the love

of Woz, what a dream. You guys both smell like

farts. What time is it? Poor guy. Yeah, so we

get another traffic scene because this is pretty

much life and it's so true I'm a traffic in my

car a lot too. Yeah, so we get to the base and

we See Beth show up and we know you see her show

up We see her softer side for a few minutes.

Bootylicious right there. What is the Beyonce

music when you really need it, right? Oh god.

And this is where we have the awkwardness between

the two of them because she's trying to ask him

out on a date. Because he's too chicken shit

to ask her. Leave the woman to do all the work.

I would comment, but I'm not even going there.

Why not? Well, let's just. All right, fine. Let's

just say I won my woman's heart with the voice

of Dick Grayson Robbins. So there you go. I put

in more than enough effort on that. You won your

woman with Dick. What? That's not even. Oh, you

are such... Okay. Wow. That's not even where

I was going with that at all. You said it. No,

I didn't say it. I said Dick Grayson's voice.

I said Dick Grayson's voice. I did not stop between

the names. You said it. Oh god, now I gotta have

her listen to this. Holy crap. Oh son of a bitch.

Alright, so we get back to, um, huh. What? Who

knew? Tar Bucks. Oh yeah, Star Bucks. I love

little stuff like this. So fun. Oh, Tar Bucks.

You know, when did issue 2 come out? Issue 2

came out sometime last year, because that's when

the series debuted. Every time it's all star

it's all Starbucks and the controversies fall

But anytime I see Starbucks or any kind of reference

to Starbucks and comics now I'm like when did

this come out if this came out around holiday

2015 or Halloween 2015 they really could have

taken advantage and actually made fun of the

holiday the Starbucks red tube Let me go look

it up here. All you're doing that We see Chad

At Tar Bucks with Dave. I miss Chad. Creepy Chad.

Yeah, Chad get demoted to the mail room over

at Earth Power And he's he's unlike Dante from

from clerks, he's fine with his station in life

Same pain benefits as before, but with 98 % less

responsibility. I am the American dream. So,

so funny. I got a full fly multi -grade double

hydrocarbon two -pump poly polygolco non -ox

low -fuel frappa brap oil and oil is Sino. Oh

my god. Oh my gosh. How did you do that, Farrier?

How the hell did you work out Starbucks speak

into the whole language of the universe? That's

hilarious, you find the date yet. So this was

released right around four months ago, so September.

So I think that was right before the Red Cup.

Craze. Yeah, that was more like around October

or November. Yeah. So we have this coffee guy

yelling out the order. I love it. Love it. I

can't believe he fit that. That's just genius,

dude. Just absolutely genius, Ferrier. Really,

really works. I like how the robot that is working

like at a restaurant, it looks like he has pimples.

It's a teenager. I know. Those are probably...

I don't think I've ever seen that many pimples

on an arm before, but okay. It's robot pimples.

She's got a case of the chicken pox. Yeah, even

better. A pox on the robots. Aww. That's funny.

So we get more with these two, and... I love

Chad. Yeah, he's awesome. And Dave needs dating

advice from Chad. Oh, why would you go to? What

did they call him? Last series sleazy? Yeah.

Why would you take advice from a guy that's his

nickname? Yeah, I don't know. When you get back

to the base, we get all the cadets and one of

them is trying to do pushups. Actually, no, someone

kicked him down and it looks like he's trying

to do a pushup. Come on, get up, nerd. Oh, a

nerd with a three. Well, it's all elite speech.

Rock 'em, sock 'em, Betty Grock 'em! What the

hell? And we almost have a scene here that looks

just like... Rock 'em, sock 'em robots, really.

That's what's awesome about it. Seriously, yeah,

it is so cool. So we get Scotty sticking up for

Ted, who is the robot that's getting bullied.

I like how Ferrier works in, like, all the family,

the father -son issues, the friend issues, and

then he even works in an anti -bullying thing

without it seeming like, hey, kids... It's out

of place, or, you know... Yeah, it doesn't fit

out of place at all. It all fits into the story.

I like it too. Yeah, absolutely. And he basically

takes Ted's head off, quite literally. Heads

up, chicken butt! That's an 80s thing for sure.

Oh yeah, chicken butt. Yeah, that's most definitely

an 80s thing. And he gets grounded for, um, for,

you know, a long time. Are you out of your job's

damn PCPU? You almost killed him. You could be

court -martialed. I could lose my job again.

He was crapping on Brad. I did what I thought

you would do. I thought you'd be proud of me

guess not, bro Oh, yeah Scotty is such a 90s

white kid he really really is like The 90s white

kids that used to wear the sagging pants and

everything. It's just oh god. I Wish that could

be erased from my memory So we see that Dave

is um gone to the modern Look at to look torium.

Oh My gosh, this is like one of my favorite parts

of this whole series Yeah, the psychology of

it all. Oh, actually, no, it's not even psychology.

I thought it was at first. I thought, you know,

because he goes, OK. So he goes to this place

and it's. Oh, my God, I just noticed the Hillary

for re -elections. They've been having that throughout

the issues. Yeah. So it's a place called New

You and. It's a plastic surgery place, and he's

coming to this place to have his face rearranged

quite literally. Yeah, I would not trust this

place. Look at the main doctor. He's terrifying.

You know what it reminds me of? Batman 89. Mirror.

But I did my best, sir. Mirror! Reminds me of

the Joker scene from Batman 89 when he when he

goes crazy from seeing what he looks like and

honestly once we see what Dave Has selected for

they basically he but Ferrier wrote a Batman

89 meets face -off scene here It's like Jack

Nicholson meets Nicholas Cage and John Travolta,

it's like all at once, it's like, oh my god,

there's just so much awesome here. Oh, what he

picks out though. Yeah, it's a bad Joker face.

Actually, it looks like a mix between the V for

Vendetta mask and the Kabuki mask. That and the

comedy mask from Shakespeare. No serious it almost

looks like actually The I just lost the Perceptor

turned into the Najida. Is that? Yeah, that's

what it looks like. Oh, what is actually? No

You are done. You're canceled. Hell no. The top

part looks like wind plane. Look at it. Look

at the red and the blue. Yeah, I know. You're

so wrong. Yeah, I'm right. I don't mean in the

sense of being correct. I mean, you are just

so, so wrong. Do what looks like Starscream finally

got Oh my god, no, you did not just say that

Okay, so what do we have next here Basically

he's calling and now he has to go back to work

Because there's something going down or we see

these other two cadets and one She could probably

go to Nuju as well. She's got some special interests

for everyone. Yeah. But they were, they got caught

without their uniforms, sir. What? Strip go fish.

Oh my god. She looks like Medusa. Yeah, because

she's got her wires coming out of her head and

then she's got two missiles coming for her boobs,

but it's coming out the other side as well. Worst

boob job in robot history. Or best? Well, yeah,

but... I wonder if those are functional. I don't

even... Oh my god folks, this is by far the dirtiest

podcast we've ever done I think And you look

at the next panel where he's where Steve is Yeah,

poor Steve. Steve is limping away. Strip go fish,

what do they think this is? A retirement party

for the love of laws? Fire those ramholes. Scan

approved. What up, Steve? What up, Steve? So

we go into the pod room here. We see... Beth

in there and oh god. That's just too creepy.

He needs to take that face back off. We see Beth

in here and it seems like she's got flowers all

over her and she's got like a champagne flute

and Dave comes up and Doc said it makes me look

upbeat and not like I should live beneath an

overpass. Is it too much? Be honest. Yes Dave,

it's too much. at least she's honest yeah so

they're on their date here dinner and dancing

yeah we then go so we you know we continue the

date we continue the awkward talking he starts

cursing And Beth is a smart girl. She figures

it out. Yeah, he's not over Sally And they over

They over He pretty much bombed the date and

We have a long slow fart which leads us into

the next scene Of Scotty and Brad in bed And

they don't kiss, they tink, people. Tink, tink.

It's just so funny. And somehow the holographic

stuff gets mangled around. I like it. I like

it. OK, let me look at this first panel here.

All right. So they're laying down in the bed.

And it looks like they're playing the video game

and it looks like it's pretty much on the ceiling

Brad isn't even really looking at the game he's

he's more so looking at Scotty and he reaches

over and blah blah and one thing leads to another

and then the game just seems to be Did you just

blah blah blah sex? Yeah, no, I gotta got it

it I know but you said blah blah blah Yeah, well

at least I didn't mention the bisque No one is

gonna get those references folks, yeah, they

are there's their sight so some people So, okay,

so we have this whole scene between Scotty and

Brad the whole lovemaking scene thing and then

we have as they're kissing Kind of you know,

Brad is kind of kneeling in front of Scotty.

We have a nuclear foam cloud explosion cloud

in the background behind them like oh my god

this is right this is good yay good gates i've

wanted to do that for so long and they continue

and dave with his new face comes back and he

uh basically catches them uh it's an awkwardness

for every yeah it's very very he's trying to

play the cool dad but he fails and and uh brad

yeah yeah it is brad because yeah uh you look

like a murder sex bot for flux sake take it off

Oh, at least I don't look like a magic bullet

had a baby with a wall -A. Oh my god. Love the

reference. Come on. And he, you know, they ask

him how the date was and how did he know about

that and I've got your phone password, duh. Murder

my ass life. Phone, change password now. You

have 48 messages. Oh hell. So we get back to

the base here. Scotty Dave and Brad all go in.

And this is where they meet the humans. And this

doesn't exactly go well. What's pin? Well, yeah,

it really doesn't. There is no depends on what.

There is no view at this. This does not go well

for them at all. So they meet the humans, they

were hiding like doofuses in a locker. No weapons,

they're extremely susceptible. But this is where

I have a problem, okay. Because in the last series

they were talking about how Earth lost its atmosphere,

so how are they surviving? Is that what, like

the smoke that's going on in the room, is that

supposed to be oxygen for them? I think so, possibly.

Okay. Because that's what confusion I had with

this. That would be my only conclusion that the

smoke stuff and the tanks on their backs there

behind them are oxygen. And they're like, they're

human. All right, joke's over. Let us go. This

is hog gawk. Yeah, like I said, there's no if,

ands, or buts about this. This does not go well.

One of the humans spits on them. Girl, should

we zap them, sir? No, not yet. Overall, the second

issue is simply amazing. It's just so cool. The

whole series is just so cool. I like how Farrier

took the second issue to explore the various

relationships, whether it's... Dave and Scotty

and Sally or whether it's Dave and Beth on the

botched date or whether it's Scotty and Brad

on their Consummation I guess you could say yeah

Absolutely love all of that stuff dealing with

that You know you mentioned that Dave kind of

looks like a wind blade my note one of my notes

was He almost jokerized himself. Why? Oh, God.

Valentin's art. I mean, everything here. The

stuff with Scotty and Brad. All of the visual

colors and the lines. Just everything is so,

so cool. This series just keeps getting better

and better. It's really good. All right. In issue

three. This one opens up With what is probably

the best stuff out of the entire series Breaking

news humans. What the fuck? They're reacting

to what how we would we react if they finally

came aliens are coming to earth, you know Yeah,

absolutely. Yeah, I mean... I love the monologue

here from the news. Again, Ferrier works in social

commentary, so usually when social commentary

on anything is done, it's so half -assed and

it's just... It's just hammed in there. This

really works. I mean, the reporter says, as always,

we have no idea how to handle this. I love it.

And we irresponsibly report this without any

semblance of public reaction or journalistic

integrity. Stay tuned for more breaking news

on the matter. News that we will wildly speculate

as. It's like they're it's like he's poking fun

at the onion or E or. TMZ or any of the stuff

that we have today. It's just so hilarious. I

mean, just like you said, we said this in the

last issue, like the background, just the little

subtleties here and there, it makes this perfect.

I love it. So we get to this I assume is I don't

think it's I don't think it's the base It looks

like some sort of station or something Train

station me. I don't know what this is supposed

to be which one. Oh Yeah, it's it's just the

metro center where they're okay. Okay. Okay.

So yeah, so One of the robots in the metro center

says Humans, what are those? No clue. Fuck, let's

panic. And we have the... You know, I really

wonder if Rob Schneider is hiding in that newspaper

bot. Oh boy, extra extra, see all about it! Human

meatbags on Earth! Corporate shill mouthpieces

weigh in with outdated and ill -formed opinions.

Get them while they're hot! Do we even have newspaper

boys anymore like I mean, you know, you you know

you watch You take Captain America the first

Avenger but that first cat movie and obviously

part of that is set back in the 40s and You still

had newspaper boys back then, you know You still

had the extra extra read all about it Like do

we even still have that kind of stuff today in

big cities? I don't even think so. I don't think

so I mean, I love the homage. I think it's great

that it's just this giant trash can looking robot.

I mean, this robot has no face, has no nothing,

and he's holding up what looks to be digital,

digital print versions of a newspaper. How would

you describe these newspapers? I just like it

that they're reading newspapers. They're not

getting, they're not getting like downloads or

anything. They're actually reading the newspaper.

So the president wants Dave. No, not in that

way. Get your mind out of the gutter, folks.

So Hillary wants Dave to basically stop the humans

here. And he's, you know, something about that

pod we need to know. And Beth is like, what the

404 are you doing? I love that, that's awesome.

Okay, I know there's a lot of cursing in this

series and in the first series, but I love it

when Ferrier uses internet and computer speak

as curse words. I do too. I mean, it's just like,

it's so original and yet it's like, like with

the jobs dammit or oh, for the love of waas or

what, it's just... It's just so friggin cool

and you know what the 404 you do it just natural

yes, it seems so natural So Scotty is pretty

much like no we need to kill him and Dave wants

to go in and talk to them and Dave goes in hey

welcome to earth Go fuck your dumb robot face.

Oh, hold up. I'm not going to hurt Ampoule. Where

the hell are we? I want a phone to call 911.

Is there a 911? Where are all the humans? I feel

sorry for these two, because they... Can you

imagine? Hello! A few thousand years in the future

and you're the only two flesh bags on the planet.

So we go into this sort of flashback kind of

thing and it's kind of like the birth of the

robots. Robots? What the hell? What today? Robots.

Thank you. I need some more of something. I don't

know. So we get back into this flashback and

Dave kind of sees how the creator of the robots

sent his children back or sent his children forward

into time and we figure out that it's a time

travel machine and thank God he thank God Ryan

wrote this as as a back to the future kind of

thing only playing with time because playing

with time and space no one wants to do that only

the British want to do that with giant blue boxes

what I like about the flesh the flashback The

flashback, that's funny. Oh my gosh. The flashback.

I like their little ship. It reminds me of the

Tron ships. I don't know if they did that on

purpose. Yeah, where it says we were losing.

That pretty much looks like a recognizer a little

bit. That's what they're called. So we go back

to We go go back to the president he's now watching

the old history clips and This new upgrade in

our programming is really working overtime right

now TFW all the feels Old archives on her do

you just love watching yourself So Beth comes

in And basically Dave says to her, it wasn't

free though. It came at a cost. Now that cost

is back to rub it in our faces. You want me to

just tell the line and kill him? What does that

prove? What good is it? So we now have a story

of conscience because we're coming back around

and figuring out as we figured out in the first

series that the robots wiped out all the humans

and we're now seeing the effects of that. now

that two of them are back i absolutely love that

oh it works great it works out so great it really

really does uh we go back to scotty and brad

uh they have a discussion about parents and about

the fact that he grounded him that dave grounded

scotty and then they eventually start thinking

again so there's that and Dave walks in again

like doesn't he know how to knock apparently

not i i love all the brock posters that are on

their wall his wall the brock posters the rock

posters oh and you got like kiss right there

You know, you got the oil pistols like the sex

pistols The M fits yeah, there's no green -haired

chicken that no So Scotty basically steals the

car and Brad and Dave take Sally's car cuz she

shows up What's that Sally's car it's uh, it's

Fred's car. Yeah Well, Fred and Dave get into

it, and Sally's like, oh, jobs, no. And Fred

just hauls off and basically bitch slaps Dave,

because Dave called him a butt horn. And this

pretty much is it for Fred. He ain't getting

any more at all. Sally is not impressed. Nah.

So they steal Fred's car. They go chasing yeah,

this is where Scotty just goes completely nuts.

Yeah Scotty goes completely nutsoid So they go

chasing him through through the streets and it's

a really interesting chase and I love all the

The character building between Dave and Brad.

I thought that was cool. Holy shit, Dave, drive

better. Scotty gets away. He goes back to the

base. And he's pretty much going to go in and

kill the humans. And Dave crashes the car, so

he has to come up riding on the girl's bicycle.

I love that. Nice wheels. Yeah. And the dog is

with him too, for some odd reason. because the

dog was in the car. Oh, that's right. Scotty

is basically going to have defense take him out,

which would not be good. And we have this really,

really cool couple of panels with all the blasters

and stuff. Just all pointed at Dave. And it's

all pretty much going to be blasting in his ass

quite, quite literally. And we have a Hey, come

with me if you want to live The terminator stuff

yeah, and they even even say that I Love it.

I Love that. They're that aware that they're

doing else for your stuff. Oh, yeah so Dave goes

back to the time machine thing and he gets in

there and holy crap it's working and he goes

pretty much 500 years earlier to their time where

the humans pretty much still inherit the earth

holy shitty balls that's a rough ride See, this

is why I don't really ever want to time travel

because of the after effects. I've never heard

anything good about it. You know, we, you know,

we often talk about, you know, like getting on

a flight, flying, you know, from wherever to

wherever. And if it's, you know, more than a

two hour flight, sometimes you get jet lag and

whatever else and time jumping lag. Yeah, no,

I don't think I want that. So we have whoa, this

is weird y 'all and that's how issue three ends

I You know so far the everywhere they've taken

this series It's just so good. It really is.

Oh, yeah, I agree Good stuff. So we have The

final issue the fourth issue here and the coolest

thing and I think this happened in one of the

other issues or one of the first series Things

at the back of the issue. They have tweets about

each issue in the issue One of them says you're

Ryan writer. You should use this tweet on the

back cover of d4ve2 That'd be funny, right like

meta. Wait, am I trying too hard at Paul Allure?

Yes Paul Alwar, for those that may be living

under a rock, is another IDW writer. He wrote

the TMNT for issue miniseries Turtles in Time,

and he's written a lot of other stuff over there

as well. So issue four starts out with, we're

back in the past here, 182 ,500 night cycles

to be for reals. in the past, and we're at Hallcom

Tech. And we see younger versions of the two

humans that are in the future. The daughters

of the creator here. Man, this guy must be smoking

a lot. Why? Because he always has a cloud of

smoke around him. Their dad? Oh, yeah, yeah,

yeah. Man, how much smoke do you have to have

if it follows you around? Yeah, that's that's

true You notice the shirts though the stooges

and nine -inch nails. Yeah And Dave's like wild

it's not that much different. I don't think I

can see I can can I see it earth? Oh Sure grown

ass sentient asshole robot walking the streets

some more no big whoop And the humans actually

Actually bond with the dog. I know which is fun

Well, they've got kind of like the same attitude

yeah Yeah, you're right. There's way too much

smoke that guy must be smoking. I love a lot

of stuff And save you from what save you from

that Dave? I don't recall naming any of my bots

Dave. Yeah, kind of a long story, but you did.

Kind of a long story, but yeah, it did happen.

Yep. We need to kill him, daddy. You should see

the future. It's so fucked. Yeah, what is this

guy smoking a hole? I know. Well, and then that's

not even that. No, we go back to, you know, we

start out with, this means my intelligence tech

works, and then we go back to the future, quite

literally. Pah, dammit, Dave, you jerk. And then

there's even more smoke. Mm -hmm. You smoke it

a lot. Yep. A lot. Yep. And we have Scotty and,

uh, and... Brad. Scotty still hates his dad for

going back in time because he assumes that he's

going to screw everything up and if they, you

know, playing by the logic of something happens

to Dave in the past, that means Scotty won't

be in the future. That means he and Brad's relationship

would have never happened and all these time

paradoxes. Oh boy. Now we get to the complicated

stuff because of time travel. Yeah. Well at least

it wasn't Scotty going back in time to have a

relationship with his mom That's true Good old

Clint Eastwood or no Calvin Klein Clint Eastwood

was the third movie. That's right And we see

a lot of introspection from Dave in these in

these following pages about you know how the

only only success he's ever had was it was in

failure and You know, he takes something beautiful

and turns it all to crap. Oh Boy And we find

that Dave modified he finds this Roomba Oh, this

is like Work here pal. What's your cuz he assumes

that it's because it's a robot. He assumes that

it's sentient like he is and It's really not

it's all programming That little rug muncher

never had a failure in his life That is so a

double entendre inside joke right there people

No failed marriage no genocide no son that hates

him It just cleans all day and it wins Uh, you

just smug little turd. So, he starts destroying

the thing and then he rebuilds it. Oh, with his

special little Dave upgrade, remember? Yup. The

Dave upgrade is back, people. I like that they're

using it again, but I hope it doesn't become

a thing, where it's, you know. Well, it only

becomes a thing right here, I think. I'm saying

in the future No, I don't think so and I don't

know if there's gonna be another another Another

series after this so I hope so too, but I just

don't know So Dave we got to run some tests on

what the hell's he done? Oh me oh my Others have

seen what is an ass this say others have seen

what is an asked why I have seen What could be

an asked why not? So he has made the He's made

the Roomba independent and the Roomba is not

gonna abide to his programming programming anymore

and the dog finds a new hump toy oh god that

dog dog is a running joke so they talk about

um you know you know what's gonna become of his

earth and his kids and the jobs and all that

stuff and uh you know he's like oh you know you

should have never made me dude but dave i haven't

yet and here you are i kill with every feeling

in me you create with none that's deep yeah there's

so much into these next couple pages there's

the whole page with his monologue where he's

looking out at the moon i love how the quartz

wrapped around like a skull yeah It's... because

apparently death follows Dave all the way around.

I love how they bring... I love how they bring

it back around with the original scene in the

original series. Oh, I know. And then this scene...

Kick him in the balls? Kick God? Yeah. Right

there, God. It's me, Dave. Yeah, you remember.

Well, I'm gonna punch you again real soon. Square

in your dick. for everything ever and he goes

to commit suicide and they're like fuck that

noise I know you're hurt Dave and I know there's

no way out that would end your crisis but we

can't let you do that so they save him and they

figure out She talks about Jiminy Cricket and

the other girls like what? I know what you mean.

I hate that guy So they basically kick him back

into the pond and They stay there at home, but

they but they basically send him back to the

future back Back to the future. Yeah. Sweet Baby

Gates, I'm back! Uh, re -elect Roombaugh. For

more years. I know, more are. More are. More

are. And, you know. So, you know what? Some things

have changed, but it's still very similar. There's

only these few slight differences so far. Yep.

You done doof daddy pants you done You did done

up and did it didn't you dummy by order of president

rumble you're under arrest time fuckery comes

with the penalty of deactivation Listen to me

pops And he's like I deserve this So Dave breaks

free of the cuffs and Tries to reason with them

all Scotty tries to fight him and Dave's not

gonna fight his own son Scotty beats Beats the

ever -living crab out of him, but at the same

time he says I fucking love you, dude. I know

I I Got a little confused there. Yeah, that was

Yeah, why have you done this to me? I'm just

trying to make you happy to make me happy for

once Why do you have to be such a fucking hero

all the time? I never wanted you to be anything

like me and You're lying here I am so proud of

you not for who you think you should be but for

who you're turning into So we have this nice

touching father -son moment We have Scotty and

Brad kissing on live television. And Scotty basically

saying that they all have to be different, they

have to change. Yeah, he needs to start with

himself. Yeah. Scotty needs to go to therapy.

Yeah. Pretty much does. A decision from the honorable

and totally rad President Rumbo expected later

this week. He tried this time he did and They

are dismantling the it looks like are they dismantling

it or what are they doing to the statue and You

don't remember it goes to so they're rearranging

it So we get we go to 45 night cycles later You

know, it's Dave. Obvs, this is my son here next

to me, Scotty. Sup, y 'all? Sup. So he talks

about Scotty and everything else, and they have

this unveiling of this new statue, and it's essentially

father and son. Or, no. No, it's the two humans.

Oh, it's the two, yeah, it's the two humans.

That's what it is. It's the Seesters. Yep. Then

we go to 90 night cycles later. Thanks for the

ride bad boys seven tonight We haven't even gotten

three yet come on farrier, I know it's the future

but come on you're just teasing us now So we

have you know, I love you exchange Eddie's soldier

another beautiful day I love this end because

it has different icons and history. Yep. And

I love it. Yeah. Absolutely awesome. Quiet, I'm

book reading. I'm book reading. So what do you

want to do? I don't know. I want to F some shit

up. No, I really don't. No, Dave's had enough

of that. Yeah. And I love the very last thing

that you see. The very last thing you see in

this is the Terminator. Yeah. Ryan and Valentin

love their Terminator references. Oh, there's

nothing wrong with that. That's awesome. No,

there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. I just

love that. I love that last panel. It's everything

this series is about. I love it. What I love

about this is you never... I never saw the story

progression coming. I mean, it progresses so

nicely and it evolves, and as I said earlier,

Ferrier on the writing, he takes so many things

and melds them together so well. It is so fluid.

Oh, I agree. Nothing in the story feels disjointed.

I don't even have any issues with the art at

all. There's just nothing wrong with this series,

folks, at all. The only thing I will complain

about is the last issue. Because I really feel

like this should have been two issues. It felt

a little hurried up. You know, I mean, they went

from E -Earth, E4Earth, to Human Earth and back.

And to me, that should have taken two issues,

because I think I would have liked to see more

with the father, the daughters, their dad who

create. I'd like to see more about that. But

that seemed like it was totally skipped over.

Well, we had already had the flashback for it.

I know, but I wanted to see. But you wanted to

see more of their relationship. Yeah, I wanted

to see, well, how did he come up with the idea?

Did he just totally steal it from Dave? I mean.

It just felt a little just a little rush. I really

would have loved to seen this last year's issue

into two issues That's my only complaint Where

do you think, if we even get a third arc, where

do you, like I said, I didn't see any, as I was

reading through the original series that we talked

about in the last podcast and the second series,

I didn't see any of this stuff. Like I couldn't,

you know how normally you can predict the end

of a movie or you can predict what's, you know,

and that guy's gonna shoot that guy with that,

you know, I mean, we've all done that, but. with

this story. I don't even know what I would even

expect or hope to see for the next. I would like

to see um what damage or what changes has been

made from him going to time traveling. Um I we

see that the Roomba's president. So, there's

gotta be something different there, you know?

Um uh yeah, I'd I'd like to see more. I'd like

to see He if he's if he's thinking he's gonna

be some big wig big shot. He needs to be upgraded

Yeah, he does. Yeah Yes, he does. I'd like to

see whether he gets back with Sally or he goes

with Beth or Yeah, maybe Sally and Beth get together

That's a whole other bottle of turtle wax people

oh boy yeah overall I am so glad we did this

I'm so glad I was able to finally catch up to

this series because wow this series is just so

and if you might think we spoiled some stuff

we really didn't there's a lot of goodness You

know, you know, I've said a few we've all we've

both said a few lines from the comic and we've

talked over the major plot points, but We haven't

really spoiled every single aspect of the book.

I mean the artwork you got to go check out the

artwork. It's beautiful Valentin Ramon is Probably

at this point for this style of robot story for

his like He does the best humanoid robots. I

mean these things look like something out of

I robots and I Mean, you know for a while there

in this second arc I was really having flashbacks

to I robot a lot when I was reading there's a

couple of robots in the background that Yeah,

very similar, you know, yeah, absolutely Alright,

I know you hate doing this but overall series

rating for the second arc second arc I'm gonna

give it a four just because I really felt that

last issue was a little rushed to me I would

have loved to see this as a five issue But the

artwork the story overall was great Yeah, I'm

gonna give it a four and a half There were times

where I just, I understand what Scotty's going

through, but there were a few times where his

character is just like, so mad at Dave for, seems

like, you know, good reasons, but there were

just times where he was just downright mean to

Dave when, you know, Dave's just trying to be

his dad. I mean, I can understand walking in

on your kid and stuff like that, but... I don't

know, there was just some other times in the

series here where he was a little bit too mean

to Dave. So I'll give it a four and a half. Cool.

We're gonna take a quick break, come back with

final thoughts, and then tease up what's coming

next on The Pull Bag after this. It's action.

It's drama. It's comedy. It's Decian, the superhero

webcomic. Decian's got superhero antics and sexy

girls. Read it now at Decian .com. Ladies and

the Pull Bag and the GCRN. Unleash the geek in

you. I'm not hearing this! Alright ladies and

gentlemen, we are back here on the Pull Bag episode

127. That's gonna do it for the month of January.

We had the year 4 update, we had the holiday

leftovers, and then D4VE version volume 1 and

now D4VE 2, the second arc. Coming up is Feenship

is Friendship, February, where Nicole and I will

be covering Ponytails Volumes 1 and 2, Feenship

is Magic, which is the Villains one -shots, and

then Friendship is Magic and Friends Forever,

two trades in one podcast. So, there's going

to be that. Also in February, hopefully, we're

going to have TMNT issues 51 and 52 in episode

128, and we're going to hopefully be doing for

Valentine's Day the Gem Valentine's Day special.

So basically, you're getting six podcasts in

February. It's a leap year, folks. It's the only

excuse that I can make up, because normally I

would not put six podcasts. I kind of stopped

doing that in like year three. Year two was like

13 shows in one month or something like that.

Even though we only have four Wednesdays in February,

it's probably going to be doubled up. Episode

128, which is going to be TMNT 5152, may even

get doubled up. Mmm. I don't know. It depends

on when I can record that with Joe So but yet

Nicole's gonna be here for all of February for

pony stuff the first ever pony coverage outside

april hot damn is a look at the afterlife and

as you might expect from the title and the goat

with the pentagram on its head in the image uh...

it is not the one with the harps and the fluffy

clouds instead a young man finds himself condemned

to eternal damnation but not the kind he's ever

heard of before check out the exclusive reveal

and cover more information blah blah uh... so

let's see They had asked Ferrier to explain the

big idea behind Hot Damn, and he said, Take everything

you've been shown about the afterlife, the good,

the bad, and throw it in a blender full of vodka

and crystal light. This isn't the heaven or hell

you're used to being shown, and we're deconstructing

the very essence of them faster than Bob the

Builder on Coke in Rewind. I gotta interview,

we gotta interview this guy like now. Oh my god.

That was one of the things, one of the purposes

of us even reviewing D4VE was to eventually get

an interview with Ryan because... Oh, that would

be awesome. This guy is just gonna be so fun

to talk to. Oh my gosh, that would be awesome.

He he says in hot damn we're blurring every line

good and evil faith and obsession penance and

indulgence With one very wayward wayward self

-destructive young man at the center of its Teddy

Graham. Yes like the crack Teddy has lived fast

and died young thanks to his own doings But soon

finds that his wild ride isn't over at all In

fact, it's gone even more off the rails with

no help from his demon sponsor Costello who can

be best described as a lounge singer turned goat

and isn't it isn't until everything gets turned

up to 1000 that Teddy realizes who he is and

what he's done and how he is stuck with his conscience

forever and ever or is he? Ferrier describes

Hot Damn as the ultimate redemption story and

he is thrilled to be reunited with D4VE, Collaborative

Valance, and Ramon. We are conjoined twins sharing

the same twisted brain and I'm honestly terrified

that IDW has agreed to let us out of our crates

once more. Oh, that's awesome. I think that IDW

knows that they're good. That's why they want

to keep them. That's why they got to win, you

know, for their second series. I mean, you know,

you look at the... You look at the teaser image

at the top of the article here. It's a goat with

a pentagram on it. It's just so simple. Then

you see the main cover. The solicitation here

says, the masterminds of D4V arena are hot damn,

and they're taking you straight to hell. Hard

living catches up to Teddy, and eternal damnation

awaits, but is nothing like the good book tells

you. Hell is a therapy session you can never

leave. That does sound real good. So reviewing

this when this comes out. Since it's only a four

-issue miniseries, it's probably gonna go into

the pullbags monthly rotation and we're just

gonna have four episodes. One for each book,

because this sounds so fucking awesome. I can't

wait to see their view on everything. They really

have sold this. Where can the people find you

online? Just google Beatles Diva. That's Beatles

like the band, not the bug. You'll find me. There's

no other. Yeah, if you try searching for the

bug it's not gonna work I Think I tried it once

and nothing came up but All right, you can find
