Ron's Christmas Gift Vault Show

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 – running time 26:53
What's in the vault this week? The last member of an intergalactic police force; an icon of truth, justice and the Soviet Way; and some young super-powered whippersnappers who don't know their place!

This week, iFanboy goes into the vault to take a look at two books that Ron bought the other guys for Christmas and... another random book. Apparently, Ron didn't get the memo. It was on Christmas themed-paper!

First up is Nova Volume 1: Annihilation from Marvel Comics. Writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning showcase their own patented style of throwbacky but modern comics in this mammoth hard cover that contains the first year of the book that redefined Richard Ryder.

Next is Superman: Red Son from DC Comics. What if a slight tilt in the Earth's rotation meant that instead of landing in the heartland of rural Kansas, Baby Superman's spaceship fell to Earth in the cold, unforgiving Soviet Union of the late 1930s? Things wouldn't be to good for America, comrade.

Finally, there is Young Avengers. The hardcover that collects the entire series from writer Allan Heinberg (Grey's Anatomy) and artist Jim Cheung hits on every Avengers-loving level. This is the book that caused Ron to first bellow the now infamous "Damn you, Heinberg!"

" So from my entry in the show. It's two rifles surprises. But in recent -- in recent months -- on record might not like Superman. I'm not going to -- the character. You know I'm done into the -- just on stuff and -- and stuff. But there is issue is who. Yes and have. There's as a wrestler that I do like a lot come from the old DC -- line which. Hezbollah officials there might be the last possession of these sales -- on music in the end -- that this is Superman red son. And it's written and passed away and and it's written by Mark Miller with our -- Johnson I'm all yours doesn't all the awesome and it's amazing. And basically what what the what the premise -- is that instead of crash landing in Kansas. I in the farmlands of Kansas and being raised to -- American gods of and his he crash lands in the farmlands of -- year. And grows and grows up in Michigan."

" The Soviet Russia is what it is because this flight mathematical change yeah I beat this event the axis of entries that are gonna say something about insomnia and does so in Orlando the."

" I didn't -- what you. To keep -- you know the so that's that's that's not subtle difference and wasting. This hypocritical and."

" So what you get is you get all of the all the architects and -- and universe just slightly different so. I'm what you got to assume they Soviet soldier who this classics of the fundamental difference. -- cost -- a similar but instead of the S -- is not the hammer and sickle. And what you had -- what's youth or who's now American kind of icon and and is obsessed as -- and the same motivations in the same. You know reasoning for -- it's -- and in all kind of stuff. What he's got the support of America you've got about. Batman character whose American who used it as the rest of those Americans. So and see got to -- and -- a right. Miss."

" Yep we want -- change Lowe's -- And that's Mark Miller would it would have what it does well he really thinks that every aspect of the story in in this particular instance. It never goes off the rails if all clicks together. Especially at the end where release the mind blowing and Altman everything's. Makes rule. And --"

" It's and it's very very intelligent. Idea for re thinking yeah I mean I mean really. One obvious story that hadn't told. You know the thing is I don't think it could have been -- before. It would have been. -- been so it would have been on American also. And so which is not right so it's spouse. Give us a hallmark of L rules always. What if this changes."

" Settle for assists and its findings of the past few years we see a lot of Mark Miller new -- from -- civil war recently -- Is that. You really get museums forgotten firms working for us from comics Mark Miller who has a reverence for DC comics. And he hadn't worked on it seriously is it writes -- exactly. -- And so whereas this -- is a marvel and marvel entity five -- an -- of a couple of Leonard comics. But some other stuff just he's right you just write it to be Mark -- crazy this you pick up that subtext of the love and adoration of the taxes and that's not exactly. Out. The agreement and what an awesome things about it is that -- again Johnson. Who most recently and she -- the covers for the votes. Where it's been kept his editors that on the -- exactly one of those guys that it Hugo on this is this is some. Pretty pretty awesome stuff -- and you can tell that. This is -- character that even. Despite getting rid of the else world's line Eden studios and the rest of these editorial respect because he's cropped up in all the multi versed in this -- whatever is the Russian -- and you see in final crisis in the Russians have."

" And it's borderline yeah. It's so it's so well respected but that's accurate than a -- this -- blown away again while it's really it's one that are stored in. This -- the great thing about sisters so well the malls yet. Some parents of usually else rules titles in the end character gains what they've had survived exact should be Michigan lose this'll be witness yet in that I keep any notes the American --"

" Really he really believes in this in this in the in the world people. What are the stages which is. What's -- premise is exactly. And the other great thing is that this is you know self contained you know it's not that -- it was made for me except that she -- if -- of the diseases of beautiful covers odd jobs and these great kind of propaganda style these covers and here -- this -- one of -- the red eyes -- in the schools. A better -- I was surprised at how much like Padilla as the -- he's watching NASA. Patched yet exactly so it's two minutes and let Mark Miller you probably have already got. We come back pretty young."

" Thanks to Netflix sponsored -- some sort of -- With Netflix you can rent over 90000 titles online including -- Blu-ray titles with free shipping both ways to your home. They now have -- or forty shipping centers almost all deliveries happen in one business day. And Netflix plans are the 49ers and remember you can no risk two week free trial membership -- check out every -- dot netflix.com slash iFanboy.

" Young offenders in the book that I should have read for a long time. Thank you know years of the elements of -- let it took there was a twelve issue. Season series dances as Pakistan was able to do really well that was canceled with the cancer I held I don't know -- and you on bird. Well we it is it was no more than is there will be more quickly however with writers he's also a writer knows if anatomy is these are -- side."

" Age around right before he took -- and the job he's working on the scene that was a continent from house somehow and a readiness team nobody child. Who since then has gotten blown up and analog and this can grab this and it's on the -- an alleged that."

" There was no there was no point we're like oh it is okay -- unity government better page one you like who. Where's this guy did and so what that was when it came out I heard the premise was intrigued by the idea and of the characters and I bought it and and it blew me away and I need -- then you guys need to strike and a death itself is good for whatever contributed books I don't what you did I didn't remember because what that -- that we got my comic bookstore talking about it. Except he did it all the time me he was trying to get me out of based on the fact that the OC gadgets don't care is that Arizona and that it was like three or four -- four issues in. And I was like some people like this -- but it was too late now that wells in the -- You know is one of those things that I've went to pick up at at. I would look I -- two stacks column I never fumbled them the same time not it is right there bought them so fest or Christmas this year from right. And I was slowed look at something on the show and I noticed that there is this one volume -- that come out I told I was talking rock I am like but the other giving. Is this the good -- like. I know I'd already are rooted in Garrity was in my possession was my Christmas gift to us this is like Christmas to show a bomb so I gave it to you and not added I read that about a day. Okay so let's ask -- question our. When you read left to the end of the issue one. And it revealed something about one of the characters. It was that the moment that sold you on."

" It certainly was there Leo so misunderstood what you publicize what."

" Here's a surprising about this and what the deal is this it was called young offenders it was a imaginable these characters now I had had. Not really just introductions of imagining of different people doing these -- whenever. -- stalks its current level and we'll get. Either way they're these characters -- this new Hawkeye in new lines on a new office is the -- talked about the thing again if that this is while telling you I thought was going on. And I thought I thought it was like Muppet babies and okay. Welcome to do because you know that is more that's right. And instead what happens when I want to read it was that it was. It was such a continuity -- avengers story that I I was like our poll. Catch epic conqueror and that is what I wanna light and on the hill that's such continuity avenger horse story. I mean like I like this was this was like -- for me. -- an and that's what I really got out of it I had not heard from anybody the whole time. With that it's if if you like the avengers that you like classic avengers Captain America Iron Man. The war you know this should be that kind of thing you want to -- I never heard from anybody it was just too cool DOC and that's not enough for me."

" It socialism are -- imagination essentially it's a team. Of kids that have on the Kennedys that are inspired by the Anderson yes there is -- the grandson of the first half of America Africa and African -- yes who is patriot. Eli comes off these -- US cent of the inning with -- these pages he's got a a Captain America testify -- are now is Bucky -- one -- and this shield he has yet he has the shield. The trials each of them there's iron land. Which I was like that's lame (%expletive) there's they make up there within. Wiccan is like is the works which he read yours first yet guardians and there's no doubt about what he has and they are powers that are not -- the -- there. Counterparts. It's actually very smooth rematch hope is that it Hokies escrow and -- mixes with perhaps grow yet after so so they start this are venturing. And then he then Poland. -- Poland and the lady bishop. You know he's our guy who well that's the joke is that she doesn't have an anal continent on the disclose August -- and then also. Also stature who's got that ends on the."

" I worry that it's great that we've. Each but on so what was saluting and delete my -- Iron -- Oh yeah but then of the -- she won there's a revealed. Yet I am glad it's okay. Young and young tank from a different time street and you know what that sounds like it might suck but it doesn't sucked all the."

" Yeah. It."

" And like so off it's finally can and and and good stuff. You guys statistics to speak to arts. Yet there's two sparks and a little bit and -- for a we have my my thing was I loved the first hour the first or was that the team team being formed. It measures tell him to stop. We've got a very America Tony Stark no doubt come down hard yet it is right government is disassembled to me they need at the old mansion we've been leveled the and the statues of excellence that. And they're just like on the party can do -- like kids or teenagers and -- anyway. And basically it's the story tang arm. And until he leads the team into the ER and then suit. Yet which is tanks -- becomes the new vision which all which is which is also well played like it hasn't been the real vision in there and then there's also. Is that actual market which has yet within that -- and -- the Quiksilver. And as -- and -- the sons of -- with the madness the scarlet and the other thing that happens is and it's want to glad award this it was. Nominated numbers is that as guardians -- and and hopefully our couples gay couple. Which is very it. It's with -- respond and yet subtly they like and again now that -- about it like silly jokes -- they make ourselves -- so that after this for six issues. It's 'cause as an issue were to withdraw its Austin -- is the -- is on -- expect accident and he is great. He no no easy. Yeah is that given his -- the last time it can they. Be there he gets good in the middle of the book there's a fill in artist and that really kind of turned off to. But then there's a story -- the end of that involves. And GHB new growth hormone I would -- that's allotments and sentinel picture tubes have determined he was taking it. And he has no power because he'd been saying all along that that the super soldiers -- have been. That it affected his grandfather had been hesitant to detract from him. That was not the case law and I was trying to really nice pretty good story recession. As a whole lot of really so he he really just wants to do good ideas that it RC finally get it -- And then there's Michael gators are in the middle which is yeah there's there's -- just it just shows. No this food is awesome it's -- she was dating sexist father yes died yet and solo flashback to -- It's it's it's it's such a teen. Superhero -- done well because like sex actor's mother and stepfather don't want her -- on the team the vendors don't want them to be eighteen -- kids and they're not gonna take no for an answer and that's the that's the part you like yeah I like it that it is it was well conceived I don't really care so much that they were teenagers and I found that Anderson but I thought that -- were. It was a really nice balance of characters to be on a team something like -- don't like is much but in a good way. Despite myself I really like it which the characters use very -- she -- name whatever Malone like it's still some credits and -- that the tragedy in this."

" Look is that Marmol has kept these characters on the lock and key and shut up and aside from a couple crossovers citizens' civil -- the miniseries -- the -- And then again -- Univision and there's and then there was a series of of young Americans presents -- to one shots and an individual characters. But then as a team they're not -- or off until now. They're not letting anybody read and so -- high numbered but now recent news or else the dark dark brain -- different. Yes but it's also. Daniel hi amber."

" But the thing is this that. That you like that it was teen book I like that it was a marvelous and his book is that when I read this as like all of this is like avenues that I haven't read really long time is this is one of what prime minister to them. -- young men and you know that -- know that throwback to moderate. Yes and ask them it was it was used for back it was very continuity heavy but on the way that makes it difficult to read the kind makes it's very satisfying treat you like posted this is."

" Marble and the great the other great thing about it is the art -- is just. -- literally there's there's nothing to base at about that yet because it's that could just it's mine and now I like this is the series that made and is allowed him until and it's awesome. He doesn't say it any time in your home burn."

" He says good son of yeah I mean our assistant there's and there's actually neat script. In this president's heart Aaron right. Good stuff and it talks like hybrid didn't know how to do. Comic strip to the beginning absentee senate and the format he does it is just weird he didn't do -- you -- it off. You know as original pictures in here that the dude knows marvel you know like you -- given that like everything is so many things referenced in here it was just look slightly in the story that noted I don't know you can either take -- leave it whether you you know it's the forecast American -- Yes Rogers up in this case. -- so if you're an opinion and many of these books horrible you want to recommend a frost and need for future show he also contact and I am an outcome."

" Or you can call our voice of Linus hated and was 326697. 800 and -- and it it was a message about his books the books are being well -- Clinton issue or would --"

" Let's -- and that I went dark. Equipment it's because I like that and you click on that used to be like I had booked to or. I didn't like to have Booker why did you ruin the story for them it doesn't matter is that going to be good although the fact that it is that coming was. Yeah. But it's been out for years now so whatever it's still really really good. That would accomplish what I think. This will -- this is is when you somebody president and yeah I -- one I don't timely issues pretty he's awfully nice. It hook it looks."

" You want goddamn America."

" went to a zoo and another diesel denies this look this. And have been particularly nugget publish. Very."

And I was like some people like this -- but it was too late now that wells in the -- You know is one of those things that I've went to pick up at at. I would look I -- two stacks column I never fumbled them the same time not it is right there bought them so fest or Christmas this year from right. And I was slowed look at something on the show and I noticed that there is this one volume -- that come out I told I was talking rock I am like but the other giving. Is this the good -- like. I know I'd already are rooted in Garrity was in my possession was my Christmas gift to us this is like Christmas to show a bomb so I gave it to you and not added I read that about a day. Okay so let's ask -- question our. When you read left to the end of the issue one. And it revealed something about one of the characters. It was that the moment that sold you on."

" It certainly was there Leo so misunderstood what you publicize what."

" Here's a surprising about this and what the deal is this it was called young offenders it was a imaginable these characters now I had had. Not really just introductions of imagining of different people doing these -- whenever. -- stalks its current level and we'll get. Either way they're these characters -- this new Hawkeye in new lines on a new office is the -- talked about the thing again if that this is while telling you I thought was going on. And I thought I thought it was like Muppet babies and okay. Welcome to do because you know that is more that's right. And instead what happens when I want to read it was that it was. It was such a continuity -- avengers story that I I was like our poll. Catch epic conqueror and that is what I wanna light and on the hill that's such continuity avenger horse story. I mean like I like this was this was like -- for me. -- an and that's what I really got out of it I had not heard from anybody the whole time. With that it's if if you like the avengers that you like classic avengers Captain America Iron Man. The war you know this should be that kind of thing you want to -- I never heard from anybody it was just too cool DOC and that's not enough for me."

" It socialism are -- imagination essentially it's a team. Of kids that have on the Kennedys that are inspired by the Anderson yes there is -- the grandson of the first half of America Africa and African -- yes who is patriot. Eli comes off these -- US cent of the inning with -- these pages he's got a a Captain America testify -- are now is Bucky -- one -- and this shield he has yet he has the shield. The trials each of them there's iron land. Which I was like that's lame (%expletive) there's they make up there within. Wiccan is like is the works which he read yours first yet guardians and there's no doubt about what he has and they are powers that are not -- the -- there. Counterparts. It's actually very smooth rematch hope is that it Hokies escrow and -- mixes with perhaps grow yet after so so they start this are venturing. And then he then Poland. -- Poland and the lady bishop. You know he's our guy who well that's the joke is that she doesn't have an anal continent on the disclose August -- and then also. Also stature who's got that ends on the."

" I worry that it's great that we've. Each but on so what was saluting and delete my -- Iron -- Oh yeah but then of the -- she won there's a revealed. Yet I am glad it's okay. Young and young tank from a different time street and you know what that sounds like it might suck but it doesn't sucked all the."

" Yeah. It."

" And like so off it's finally can and and and good stuff. You guys statistics to speak to arts. Yet there's two sparks and a little bit and -- for a we have my my thing was I loved the first hour the first or was that the team team being formed. It measures tell him to stop. We've got a very America Tony Stark no doubt come down hard yet it is right government is disassembled to me they need at the old mansion we've been leveled the and the statues of excellence that. And they're just like on the party can do -- like kids or teenagers and -- anyway. And basically it's the story tang arm. And until he leads the team into the ER and then suit. Yet which is tanks -- becomes the new vision which all which is which is also well played like it hasn't been the real vision in there and then there's also. Is that actual market which has yet within that -- and -- the Quiksilver. And as -- and -- the sons of -- with the madness the scarlet and the other thing that happens is and it's want to glad award this it was. Nominated numbers is that as guardians -- and and hopefully our couples gay couple. Which is very it. It's with -- respond and yet subtly they like and again now that -- about it like silly jokes -- they make ourselves -- so that after this for six issues. It's 'cause as an issue were to withdraw its Austin -- is the -- is on -- expect accident and he is great. He no no easy. Yeah is that given his -- the last time it can they. Be there he gets good in the middle of the book there's a fill in artist and that really kind of turned off to. But then there's a story -- the end of that involves. And GHB new growth hormone I would -- that's allotments and sentinel picture tubes have determined he was taking it. And he has no power because he'd been saying all along that that the super soldiers -- have been. That it affected his grandfather had been hesitant to detract from him. That was not the case law and I was trying to really nice pretty good story recession. As a whole lot of really so he he really just wants to do good ideas that it RC finally get it -- And then there's Michael gators are in the middle which is yeah there's there's -- just it just shows. No this food is awesome it's -- she was dating sexist father yes died yet and solo flashback to -- It's it's it's it's such a teen. Superhero -- done well because like sex actor's mother and stepfather don't want her -- on the team the vendors don't want them to be eighteen -- kids and they're not gonna take no for an answer and that's the that's the part you like yeah I like it that it is it was well conceived I don't really care so much that they were teenagers and I found that Anderson but I thought that -- were. It was a really nice balance of characters to be on a team something like -- don't like is much but in a good way. Despite myself I really like it which the characters use very -- she -- name whatever Malone like it's still some credits and -- that the tragedy in this."

" Look is that Marmol has kept these characters on the lock and key and shut up and aside from a couple crossovers citizens' civil -- the miniseries -- the -- And then again -- Univision and there's and then there was a series of of young Americans presents -- to one shots and an individual characters. But then as a team they're not -- or off until now. They're not letting anybody read and so -- high numbered but now recent news or else the dark dark brain -- different. Yes but it's also. Daniel hi amber."

" But the thing is this that. That you like that it was teen book I like that it was a marvelous and his book is that when I read this as like all of this is like avenues that I haven't read really long time is this is one of what prime minister to them. -- young men and you know that -- know that throwback to moderate. Yes and ask them it was it was used for back it was very continuity heavy but on the way that makes it difficult to read the kind makes it's very satisfying treat you like posted this is."

" Marble and the great the other great thing about it is the art -- is just. -- literally there's there's nothing to base at about that yet because it's that could just it's mine and now I like this is the series that made and is allowed him until and it's awesome. He doesn't say it any time in your home burn."

" He says good son of yeah I mean our assistant there's and there's actually neat script. In this president's heart Aaron right. Good stuff and it talks like hybrid didn't know how to do. Comic strip to the beginning absentee senate and the format he does it is just weird he didn't do -- you -- it off. You know as original pictures in here that the dude knows marvel you know like you -- given that like everything is so many things referenced in here it was just look slightly in the story that noted I don't know you can either take -- leave it whether you you know it's the forecast American -- Yes Rogers up in this case. -- so if you're an opinion and many of these books horrible you want to recommend a frost and need for future show he also contact and I am an outcome."

" Or you can call our voice of Linus hated and was 326697. 800 and -- and it it was a message about his books the books are being well -- Clinton issue or would --"

" Let's -- and that I went dark. Equipment it's because I like that and you click on that used to be like I had booked to or. I didn't like to have Booker why did you ruin the story for them it doesn't matter is that going to be good although the fact that it is that coming was. Yeah. But it's been out for years now so whatever it's still really really good. That would accomplish what I think. This will -- this is is when you somebody president and yeah I -- one I don't timely issues pretty he's awfully nice. It hook it looks."

" You want goddamn America."

" went to a zoo and another diesel denies this look this. And have been particularly nugget publish. Very."

Episode 118 - Ron's Christmas Gift Vault Show! - [Discussion]

What's in the vault this week? The last member of an intergalactic police force; an icon of truth, justice and the Soviet Way; and some young super-powered whippersnappers who don't know their place!

Click here for download info!

This week, iFanboy goes into the vault to take a look at two books that Ron bought the other guys for Christmas and... another random book. Apparently, Ron didn't get the memo. It was on Christmas themed-paper!

First up is Nova Volume 1: Annihilation from Marvel Comics. Writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning showcase their own patented style of throwbacky but modern comics in this mammoth hard cover that contains the first year of the book that redefined Richard Ryder.

Next is Superman: Red Son from DC Comics. What if a slight tilt in the Earth's rotation meant that instead of landing in the heartland of rural Kansas, Baby Superman's spaceship fell to Earth in the cold, unforgiving Soviet Union of the late 1930s? Things wouldn't be to good for America, comrade.

Finally, there is Young Avengers. The hardcover that collects the entire series from writer Allan Heinberg (Grey's Anatomy) and artist Jim Cheung hits on every Avengers-loving level. This is the book that caused Ron to first bellow the now infamous "Damn you, Heinberg!"

Great show! Coincidentally, I just picked up Red Son the other day and finished reading it this afternoon right before watching the show. Amazing ending, I didn't see that coming at all.

I now also want to pick up Young Avengers (their brief appearance in Civil War was an early highlight of that event for me) and Nova.

I've always meant to pick up Red Son but somehow I just haven't managed to yet. That will be rectified. I realy like Millar, his Logan work is excellent. The look of the Young Avengers book is awsome, which is enough in itself to make me pick it up. I like that Nova doesn't realy tie in too tightly with the MU that much. Read this in issues, a fun read. Thanks guys.

Dont really care for Nova, but I LOVE Red Son and Young Avengers. I got the same feeling Josh did while reading it. Even though I didnt read the classic Avengers stories, it felt like it had that epic fun scale of their old adventures. I love how modern the stories were without getting too 'dark' like the current Avengers titles. The art, dear god, the art :D
