People forget how good the pre-Byrne Superman books could be at times, even though Curt Swan was not as dynamic as in his younger days. But the Super-books had Alan Moore stories like this one and the tremendous Marv Wolfman-Gil Kane run on Action Comics, plus the all-star talent on Superman # 400, which even had Steranko coming out of retirement to do a memorable story. In fact, DC had successfully already done a soft reboot before Byrne was ever hired, but it didn't sell because too many readers failed to give it a look. They missed out on some quality stuff!
Oh boy, I can't wait for Ed to read the Supreme Kirby tribute with Tom!
I love to hear a talk about Moore’s "Whatever happened to the man of tomorrow?" Alan Moore and Curt Swan, best team
I love the Justice League cartoon adaptation of this story. It's not difficult to see why this is one of the greatest Superman stories ever told- crazy emotional.
Great. great breakdown!!!!!!! You all are killing it with this stuff!!!!!!! (And damn Tom!!! Hit me right to the core with the "Rejecting the Call To Adventure" stuff!!!)
I'd like to see Jim talk about "Another Suburban Romance" because I know he loves that insane black and white art. I'd also like to see you guys cover the Alan Moore takes on HP Lovecraft, like Neonomicon, Providence, and Yuggoth Cultures and other Growths.
It's very interesting to look at this book in the aftermath of the coverage Ed & Tom did on the Death of Superman comic. I feel like the fight between Superman and Mongol in this book is so much better staged than the bloated, static fight with Doomsday. It just feels more epic and the stakes feel more real.
Alan Moore is a really funny writer so if you're taking suggestions, and after you're done with all the grim and gritty, past the deconstruction and revivalism, maybe consider doing a reading of his humor comics. Some that jump to mind are Maxwell the cat, D.R. & Quinch, the Leviticus chapter in Outrageous Tales from the Old Testament, The Riddle of the Recalcitrant Refuse from Doc Stearn... Mr. Monster #3, Violator and Violator vs. Badrock, The Hasty Smear of My Smile in Hate #30 and the Jack B. Quick, First American and Splash Brannigan pieces from Tomorrow Stories.
Hey, how about a commentary on that Captain Britain run by Moore and Davis? It would be great. I mean, there's a lot there that's worth a look. To mention only one thing: it is yet another fine example of Moore's abilitiy to tell a structured, compelling serialized story even as each individual chapter offers a limited page count.
That run is fantastic! People who only know about cheery Alan Davis need to check out his work here because it can be deeply disturbing. Probably one of the greatest Marvel stories ever and I mean that without hyperbole. I think the only reason it doesn't get talked about in the higher echelon as much is because, like most UK work, it's often OOP and simply not known to most readers.
@@bigvis497 The short-lived Alan Davis/Jamie Delano follow-up to Moore's run is superlative as well, and sadly only ever got mined for vague plot points in X-Men and Excalibur after Captain Britain Monthly got cancelled.
The Fury is still goddamn terrifying.
That seems to be a singular example of Moore in early days trying to write a straightforward Marvel Comic. You can see the influence of Claremont's X-men. It definitely is worth an examination.
Tom, you are a comics bibliography.
Promethea
Jay Bee I gotta hear Scioli let rip on Promethea
Never read it! I need to do so and then return to watch this video!
Love this! "Think clean thoughts, chum"
This comic in particular is very well done.The story for it is just really good. I wonder if that type of story was done before that comics release? I was never was interested in the old mainstream comics but this one is good.
Weird, when you talk about great tandems, I also thought about Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, despite only having read All Star Superman.
Yo, Ed.
It's only a matter of time until you have to hunker down and read the Moore supreme books.
You got this ...
Loving this series, I live for Moore comics!
No one else really comes to close. Frank Miller has some stuff that reaches that level, but no one really does what Moore does as consistent through so many bodies of work.
Would be cool to see coverage of an issue or two of the America's Best Comics stuff. There's a short story in issue 2 of Tomorrow Stories that will blow your mind.
Another great vid guys, would love to see a deep dive into Promethea eventually
Tomorrow Stories and Top 10
Great job as always, guys. One note on the art: Gibbons was especially inspired by the classic Wally Wood visuals on the MAD "SuperDuperMan" story, and he wanted to give Superman the same shadows and weight that Wood gave the satirical vision. Then, of course, he carried that idea over into Watchmen.
I've cited this story as why Robin is a viable character and not completely a silly throwback to a more quaint time. He exists to be the spoiler in Batman stories, the one you disregard and find out to your chagrin (if you're the villain) that you underestimated him. Batman has trained young adolescents (ruthless and morally ambiguous in their own right due to their stage in brain development) in hardcore urban warfare with an emphasis on using the environment to their advantage. If you only concentrate on the big scary guy dressed in dark colors, the kid you think is a nuisance will screw you up before you realize what's happened. Moore demonstrated this perfectly in this story.
DR and Quinch was my Alan Moore fave after Watchmen and Swamp Thing
Can't wait for "What Happened to the Man of Tomorrow"!
This probably won't get any vote but mine BUT, Moore did some great stories in the Vigilante comic for DC in the mid 80's. If you fellows could do a video on a couple issues (especially issue 17) that would be fantastic. Thanks.
Another great episode! I was never much of a Superman fan until I read this comic and it blew my mind
Would love to hear you get around to talk about Moore’s WildC.A.T.S run if given the chance.
Was hoping you would do this issue next!
The Supreme books, and the accompanying "Awesome Universe" would be interesting as discussion material, because it shows how Moore thought about constructing a line of knockoff books that had a better understanding of the source material than its custodians. As an extension on the Superman/Wonder Woman dynamic, I hope you'll consider the challenge of Moore's Twilight of the Superheroes story, which was perhaps too twisted for DC to pull the trigger on, though they did strip mine it of ideas for some lesser comics. It only exists as a proposal, easily accessible on the internet, but perhaps you could generate some visuals of your own. Moore paints a pretty vivid picture for you to be inspired by.
Looking forward to some Swamp Thing examinations. The title that helped get the late great Vertigo going.
I'd love to hear you guys talk about Moore's Twilight of the Superheroes pitch (accurately titled "The Interminable Ramble" by... someone, I guess). He talks about a lot of really fun, cool, and disturbing ideas that inform how I read almost all of his work. I linked it below if anyone wants to read it.

What a wonderful discussion. Thank you guys, I love your channel!
His Eddie Campbell collaborations - From Hell, Birth Caul or Disease of Language. Also some of his obscure stuff that isn't super expensive/rare like Light of thy Countenance & the BoJeffries Saga.
Love this will definitely check out more .
Was expecting a mention of the famous 'Burn' panel
We do defy expectation, don't we. Thank for the compliment.
@@CartoonistKayfabe really loving these videos guys, keep it up!
I cannot get enough of Scioli's deep reads on these books.
Would love to see a review of Alan Moore’s Spawn issue and the Violator mini-series
I know I'm not alone in this but it needs to be said:
This is my favorite Superman story of all time.
Ed & Tom -- As part of the Alan Moore stuff, are you gonna check out his Star Wars output?
26:53 "So I had an idea to make a comic-style text and started looking at Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns, graphic novels where the hand lettering was like a typeface." - Vincent Connare (www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2017/mar/28/how-we-made-font-comic-sans-typography )
I scored that Grand Design poster from Mondo today! Still looks like there are some available if you are so inclined
Great series, thank you
Id love to hear you guys talk about Tom Strong. A kind of skipped over but brilliant and fun book.
Are you guys gonna do some of Moore's 2000AD stuff - Halo Jones, Rogue Trooper, ABC Warriors, etc..?
was that startrek tng episode where Picard lives his whole life as an alien inspired by this comic
The best channel. PD: subtitles, please.
do Neonomicon !
or Promethea!
Promethea!
Wow. I’ve loved this story, but I love it more now. But, why the f do I see kid videos in the suggested videos after this? Shitty bots?
It’s based on your watch history
Theres a whole video about the history of comic sans in the channel Vox
A Small Killing
Great episode. Glad to hear you talking Supreme, it's far and away the best Superman run. The LOEG Nemo series would make for fun episodes as it's lighter than the main series and so much of it is cheeky pop culture references and allusions.
More Tom Scioli on Joseph Campbell, please.
Can you do a shoot on Maxwell the Magic Cat? I was sifting through a long box of oversized and miscellaneous comics at my LCS and totally passed a volume by without even knowing what it was. Bonehead move!
Do Deathblow ByBlows
but Bret really was the best there ever will be
