Comic of the fans, by the fans, for the fans.
This comment just gold
Love this comment
This should be put on the letters page
@@josefernandez9087 you mean, gold rush
@@arthurf2546 even better
The next step for you guys should be animating this story. I think you guys can do it.
Orrrr... finish the series 😐
willing to wait for that
Spitting facts
They gotta finish it first
Gold Rush: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred. Nice work on the character design!
I love seeing different big guns and speedsters from different universes, good job Arris💪🏽
So… what if Gold Rush was inadvertently stealing kinetic energy from the planet… 😅😲😱
@alex games same here, I have to remind myself whenever I see him
Wouldn't the world be slow
damn
@@johnlawful2272 well if the world momentum around the sun slowed it’s orbit would decay and we’d be pulled into the sun 🌞. That’s were I was going. Possible complications that’d be an interesting adventure
@@johnlawful2272 well no the world actually rotates at nearly 1000 mph, but even if it was slow, they said he can take kinetic energy and store it up, which means if he’s passively stealing energy from the earth, he could store up a ton of speed after a while and use it
Congrats again on your own superhero comic, and securing a spot in the multiverse! Which universe would you place yourself in and which multiverse?
Earth Vari- ant
Me I love infinite… also me. “Don’t make him evil PLEASE. “
Ngl, Infinite has a really iconic design
Edit: Gold Rush is really cool too but Infinite is just my fav design in the series so far
Goku would still beat him though
@@Phoenix-pb4sm lol thats funny no one asked
@@SolaceMcfly I know
I said it anyway :)
@@Phoenix-pb4sm but completely untrue.
I LOVE Infinite!!! I love the look of him so much. (I have Dreads and a beard too lol.) I’m kinda mad he cut his hair though. And thank you for not calling him anything with “Black” in it, like “Black Infinite.” I’m sick of titles like that.
Not only is Variant an amazing RUclipsr who makes quality RUclips videos about comic books but also a brilliant comic book writer ON TOP OF THAT??
is there anything he can’t do?
It's been awhile since i seen you Agent W.
Write poorly, clearly. He's just that good. If he is writing it I can appreciate it! No matter the "it".
I love if you think about it, gold rush is NOT a speedster so much as his power is to manipulate kinetic energy therefore he has many things he can do that normal speedsters can’t but it also comes with it’s own flaws if used improperly
Ithink he has his own speed too but kinetic energy boosts it?
I mean hes just the flash without any base super speed, as we have seen in godspeed all the dc speedsters can steal speed from anything
Isn't that just professor Zoom in rebirth ?
@@duganchase8577 Well you have to also consider that fact that when a true speedster is established they seem to literally exist in speed if you know what I mean. I may be wrong be wrong but gold rush seems to be more so normal in regard to how he perceives reality. He doesn’t seem to have speed thinking and he I don’t know the logistics of if he has speed healing or not but he seem to literally just manipulate kinetic energy. He’s missing out on a lot of up sides to being a speedster and he also doesn’t have all their flaws. So I don’t technically think they should be regarded in the same way. Thoughts?
When everything you know has come and gone,
You are at your lowest, I am rising higher
Only scars remain of who I was
What I find in the ashes, you lose in the fire!
When there's no one left to carry on,
This is an illusion, open up your eyes and...
This pain persists,
I can't resist,
But that's what it takes to be Infinite.
Cool poem! Is that from the Comic, or is that your own fan art?
@@akay_g9 that is from sonic the Hedgehog
If Gold Rush steals the KE of a bullet coming at him, would the bullet freeze in mid-air or would it stop and then fall?
I think fall.
It should fall.
If he steals all the energy; freeze. If he steals the unnecesary energy fall
@@jaspervantilborg even if he stole all the kinetic energy that doesn’t effect gravity. It would still fall e.g if u fire a nerf gun on a wall, it’s hits the wall and falls down because the wall absorbed the ke
@@jaspervantilborg tru if he stills all the energy it should fall just really slowly...kinda like when speedsters run
I've seen your comic origin videos for year. As I searched for some I found this Astonishing Times series. Amazed at what I'm seeing.
Awesome job on this 2 characters from your Comic Universe, Astonishing Times 👍👍👍
Man I hope infinite gets a rival that has the opposite of his power , I'm thinking the endless where he draws power from death.
Yesss, that would be cool. His own doomsday/darkseid type nemesis, but looking more like nekron
That'd be so cool. Like yin and yang.
But instead of a Batman and Joker archetype rivalry, I want it as a Superman and Lex Luthor type rivalry.
Endless views Infinite as a lie, told to make the pathetic lives of the weak feel comfortable in their finite and limited existence. Death is the uncomfortable truth of the universe, and Endless doesn't necessarily hate Infinite, rather, Endless hates what Infinite represents.
@@ladydimitrescu4746 🤝 well said!
Really excited about u guys making a whole new universe, eager to see all the characters
Aris I've watched you for 5 years now, and u inspired me to get into comics, and I love your podcast, cant wait to buy the paper back versions of astonishing times!
I need no further convincing, I’m gonna get the comic
Big speedster fan, love the twist on Goldrush manipulating kinetic energy, really cool power!
That's props from a subscriber in Trinidad n Tobago!!!
HOLY TOLEDO! I had no idea you were being involved in a comic book series! This is so dang cool!!!
I’d like to see how far Goldrush’s power can go. Like, what if he can take the kinetic energy from someone’s heart, and makes their heart stop, or maybe he can speed up someone’s brain and give them an aneurysm, stuff like that to make him more imposing.
It takes a big set to go out there and make your own characters and universe instead of leeching on established IP.
Respect man.
Damn, this is pretty cool. I've never read comics in my life (besides watching variant comics youtube videos here and there). Growing up these past 20 years, I watch mcu avengers and dceu justice league only for the hype. This is going to be something.
Oh my gosh, I so love your content
It is truly great
Sure you do!
Can't wait so happy right now 😍
If Gold Rush can steal kinetic energy of atoms he can freeze anyone. Like if there is a tsunami he can freeze it , or cool down fire.
Can’t wait to keep reading this!
Already imagining this as a kickass high budget movie
Big big props 2 Arris!!!
Goldrush's costume is just awesome😣👏🏻👏🏻
Ok i read the first comic and I loved it I can’t wait to buy and read more episode.
I love that you did this. Can't wait to see more.
What's the story behind Infinite's design? Why does he have a fidget spinner on his chest?
one of the Variant offshoots should be a still motion screen play mode. I like this.
man i really like these characters man
These are some amazing characters!!!!!
Wish you guys the bust of luck. Can’t wait to get my hands on it
I know it's a typo but idk why "bust of luck" sounds more attractive 😆
Sending love from the Philippines 👏👏👏❤ a comic by the fans! 🤟🏻
Bro u have to animate u comic bro ..its sooo amazing. I LOVE it. Great job
I love varient and all you guys do. And most decently will look up astonishing times. But I have this question I want to ask you. I myself am a struggling writer, and hope to create my own superhero universe. Problem is I don't know where to start, so I was wondering if you could throw me a tip as where to start since you guys did it. You don't have to answer me and I still keep checking on your RUclips show reading your comic books, but it'd be a really big help if you could throw me a little tip on how to start?
More of this please
I NEED MORE NOW!!!!
This is sweet didnt know you even had your own comics, so hyped
How? He's made like 3 or 4 videos on it.
Wow thats fun. I made a speedster called Gold Rush to. Great minds think alike.
Is Infinite and Gold_Rush similar to DC's Superman and the Flash & Marvel's Hyperion and Speed_Demom? Can you do history of Hyperion and Speed_Demon?
Hhm I was thinking more along the lines of Batman and flash but with Batman being superman
Loving Infinite's look. 👍🏽😎
When can we preorder physical copies?
Ngl i really love Infinite's character design
Especially the dreads 🔥
Bro.....dis look gud! Dat look gud! I'm interested, ima start reading
This is incredible comic
Amazing
@variantcomics: I am from India and absolutely enjoy your videos and podcasts. Having said that how do I get my hands on these comics??not available on Amazon India…Help!!
How do we read this book? My store didn't have it!
13:57
Idk dude, that 4B outfit is looking dope 🔥
Good job
Wish you guys all the best and iconic Legacy and journey
The gold rush design reminds me of booster gold just different colours
Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?
Ohhhh yeahhhh!
iss there a way i can excluses on astonishing times comics
Considering he isn't really a speedster per say, wouldn't it be pretty difficult for him to run extremely fast? I mean his mind still works at a normal pace so it's not like he sees the world in slow motion aroudn him (as far as I understand), running at a high speed would be basically uncontrollable
That’s a very good point. Depends on how fast he’s going tho.
@@Olamidayo Yeah but Arris mentioned that he evacuated hundres of people in a matter of seconds, that's pretty fast
I would love to see how Infinite would deal with the Black Lanterns or the Anti-Life Equation
A speedster and a super human. How original!
Infinite's powers and backstory makes me wonder if we'll see an Elseworlds sorta story where in the distant future, he assumed he's the only living thing but his powers resurface. This could set him on a journey to find other life in the universe. There's a lot of world building potential with this universe that I hope it'll continue for years to come.
Okay, I’m actually a little excited.
I love it it caught my attention right away you guys did a great job
Finally....🔥🔥🔥🔥
So when a large amount of life dies will Infinite say "it's as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."
I know this video might gain the typical attraction of a Marvel or Dc videos. But I just wanted you to know that we support your endavors in the comcis industry and we cobtinue to watch it with great interest.
Dope
When can I expect it @ Forbidden Planet?
This is inspiring
I look forward to read it maybe do a review on it .
I'd love a letters page, even one that's comments from RUclips or tweets
I have a question about Infinite would he be less powerful if he was somewhere like the desert where there is less life around or should be just draw his power from another planet and use that
Can you do history of Alfred Pennyworth, Batwing, Flame Bird, Batwoman, Azrael, Signal(Duke Thomas), Bluebird, Stephanie Brown and Carrie Kelly?
I was thinking of creating a character that just loves being bad guy and always loves to fight.
A mashup of Marvel's Rhino and the Anti-Hero from the Bleach menga/anime series.
Don't you agree with me and what do you think of this?
@Ray Koshorek Hell yeah man go for it. There's plenty of ways you can make it work: need for adrenaline, thrill seeker / addict or simply a mercenary that says yes to a good fight. You could say that "My payment is not your money, but the excitement of the battle". I mean, hell he could be a Viking Berserker that somehow survived to modern day and fighting is the only way of life he knows and wants. Maybe he fought in every war imaginable in his country, then became a mercenary, then moved to an urban environment and he takes jobs from poor people to beat the shit out of some local gang that might terrorize the streets or their leader raped some guy's daughter. The point is that, your options are limitless. Only your imagination is the limit. And he can also have a cool motive or character development. He might do good just by luck or he simply doesn't care about the good he makes. In conclusion, do it and I'm looking forward to see your work in the future.
@@spyroscheliotis5366 What should you call him, bro?
I came up with a demon-mutant hybrid original character named Daimon (literally Greek for demon), an Alpha-level mutant anti-hero with genekinesis & demonic powers at his disposal.. Superhuman physical attributes, flight, infernal pyrokinesis, spell-casting but with two big weaknesses: demonic berserker rage (similar to Asgard's Sin Unforgivable: Warrior's Madness) & heavenly weapons.. I took the liberty of making Daimon's mutant ability such that its range & effectiveness can be boosted by magic if he wanted to..
Edit: I forgot to add on that, during his berserker rages, Daimon manifests razor-sharp claws, bat-like wings which change size depending on his rage level & a long prehensile tail that can be used as a weapon or a snare. Daimon can opt to keep his horns, but he prefers not to. Despite his demonic healing factor, he has a large tattoo on his back in the shape of a short sword but with the Ankh of Ra as the hilt. Whether it was inked in by a tattoo artist or merely a psycho-mystical manifestation of his mindset "be prepared for anything/one" is unclear.
I came up with two intergalactic adventurers who help people across the universe and fight evil, there names are Orion & Quasar. Orion is the adoptive father of Quasar, when Orion went to a planet called Insectopia he was looking for a partner to go on adventures with him no one wanted to except for young Quasar who was a orphan at the time. Orion questioned if he had any parents but Quasar did not so Orion took pity and took him in as his son and partner.
I also came up with their major villain and his name is Midas: He rules a planet called KALVAR with an iron fist but he does not only want to rule his planet he wants to do the impossible, rule the universe. He thinks that the universe needs correction and he is what the universe needs a ruler or better yet a conqueror.
@@raykoshorek683 you have countless of options in your disposal:
Bloodborne (a character of mine)
Bloodbath
Bloodlust (another of my characters)
Bloodstorm
Havok
Warpath (another character of mine)
Sorrow (another one)
Bonecrusher (and another one)
Killmonger
Wardog
Ares
Mars
Olethros (Greek for "Havok" son of Ares)
Terror
And many more. Also side note, choose a name not only based on his abilities, but on his heritage also. If he is a Norwegian Viking as I mentioned above, it would only be logical for his name to be something in Norse or in Norwegian. If you choose that option do you research on the language and the mythology of the people of this country. I wish you the best bro keep up the good work and remember, only your imagination is keeping you down. No one else. Remember this:
"If the book you want to read doesn't exist, then write it yourself"
How are we supposed to buy the comic???
Hey man!
What about story arcs?
Can't wait for the animated series lol
Look at Noah reading the comic they're all cross-eyed 😭
Can you do a history episode of wild dog?
Will there be a movie or series in future 😊😊😊
Can you do history of the villains of the Stargirl TV show like Dragon king, Brainwave and Icicle? When are you going to do history of the Flash Villains Mirror Master and Top since the second half of season 6 of the Flash has finished?
Can you do history of the Blackhawks, Rocket Red Brigade, Blue_Beetle, Mr Terrific and Plastic Man along with the history of the Villains Dr Alchemy and Abracadabra?
Let's goooooo!
👊😁 Great so far
issue 2 is epic(When do we get the movie?)
Gold rush's design seams like an aqua themed Havock to me
I was thinking of a comic character idea who’s a chill 19 year old italian american kid who has a maximized gene of a long running trait in his family tree called the “Medici Gene”. Which gives him elite senses past the likes of superman, energy blasts, and a enhanced brain which makes him the smartest person on Earth with 9th to 10th level intellect. I’d love to work him into your universe
Is there a drawback to this power?
@@dragoonarchive9197 he has to be focused in order to achieve energy blasts and telekinesis. also his stasis level (amount of brainpower devoted to his powers) has to be close to zero stasis (he’s in the negative stasis most of the time because he holds back). so he meditates a ton, but he’s a college kid and an athlete so he has a ton of distractions/problems. also vulnerable to mind control but he fixes that.
I really like Infinite power and Design
The art looks great though
What type of Superhero team do you think we will see in the Astonishing times comics?
Gold Rush is such a smart name.
I would love a gold rush action figure
Could you make another speeder but have their name be blitz? Or Gold Rush pet
purple heat vison cool
Hopefully you and YoungRippa59 can partner on something, he’s starting a comic book company
That would be epic
“Oh that’s probably booster gold”
I like it
Buying 2 copies day 1 in paperback
One for my own enjoyment and one to hold onto when it’s worth PHAT money 😎
