The first book from the 2012 relaunch of the Valiant comics line. This week we dig into XO Manowar. Part Spartacus, part alien abduction story, with some Ironman sprinkled in.
Mix together and enjoy.
We learned a new vocabulary word with Adams cocktail this week.
This week we are discussing 2002 Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia. From Greg Rucka and J.G. Jones, this book would begin Rucka’s long run writing Wonder Woman. We changed up the format a little this week. In part one we do a spoiler free intro to the book, then in part two we step thru the plot of the book and explore this gem. Let us know what you think of the format change on our website, or any of our social media outlets. Next week we are reading Hawkeye: My Life as a Weapon. A modern take on what an Avenger does when he has no suit, no powers, and isn’t Avenging.
2 oz. Midori melon liqueur
2 oz. Peach Schnapps
2 oz. Cranberry Juice
3 oz. Orange Juice
1 oz. Pineapple Juice
Fill hurricane glass with ice. Add ingredients in order listed. Don't stir! Should have three layers; green, orange, and red. Garnish with a cherry.
If done right your glass should look like Wonder Woman. If you do it wrong, You still have a tasty beverage.
On the next episode of the Funnybooks and Firewater podcast, we discuss the classic X-Men Arc, the Dark Phoenix Saga. Here is a preview of the panels drink choices to get you start your weekend. On Monday you can rise from the ashes and join us for our discussion of the Dark Phoenix.
2 tsp 151-proof White Rum
1 Part Green Chartreuse
1 Part Midori
1 Part Vodka
1 Part Peach Schnapps
1 Part Grenadine
This cocktail consists of 3 carefully constructed parts, and you need a think Collins glass to serve it properly:
Part 1: Blend grenadine and beach schnapps with ice cubes. You want a slushy mixer. Pour this into the pre-chilled glass.
Part 2: Blend the Midori, Chartreuse & Vodka with ice to create the second, green layer.
Part 3: Layer the 151-proof rum on top of the drink so it floats. Very carefully, light it on fire. Use a splint or extended lighter, do not get this on you.
