But, you know, like, most everything IFanboy, pick of the week episode 1026. I'm Josh Flanagan. I'm here with my co-host, Dr. Ryan Haupt. Hey, everybody. Connor's gone. It's nothing we could do. He's out. He's, is he coming back? I don't know. I don't know. Is it like that middle of web skirt? He's gone, sir. They've all gone. And we're back. The incredibly posh people who are still unaccountably waiters. This is... Connor will come back. He's fine. He did a lot of work. I'd like to thank Connor for all the work he did in this show because it's a lot of work. Welcome to this one where we talk about the week that was in comic books. We've been doing this for 21 years.

it's kind of on you. This week, I had the pick. That doesn't happen a lot where I do the intro and then throw to yourself. Throw to myself. That's not my favorite. It's an advanced podcasting technique. Not a lot of people can do that. It's, yeah. I thought it was smooth. I probably shouldn't have called it out but there we are so here we are

2:18.6

the pick of the week is hidden springs number one this is from dark horse comics written by a guy who is

2:28.7

who's become a great name to see on a book rob will Williams, with art by Nilvendrell.

2:37.4

You know, like, you see a name and you think, I know what kind of name that is.

2:41.8

I don't know what a Nilvendrel is.

2:43.4

I have no idea what the origin of that is.

2:46.4

And coming up right behind in that same, Berta Sastra on colors.

2:50.2

I don't know where that's from. I don't know. Have you seen the Japanese video game from the 80s? It's like it's the Japanese baseball game where they just make up what they think are American-sounding names. So it's got like Bobbs and Dog Nut. No. Mike truck. That's pretty good though. Yeah. So the deal here is, and I was trying to pull it up, but I can't do it.

3:10.8

I was going to tell you the, like, read you the blurb in the solicit for this book

3:17.5

Because it's kind of like a supernatural monster horror book kind of thing. But I saw the name Rob Williams, who I haven't seen in a little while. I've had him on the Talkspload show. He's done a bunch of great books over the years. He's a big judge-dread person.
