If this message could get to Tom, I'd be eternally grateful. In 3 months I will graduate medical school and be on my way towards becoming an ICU doctor. I wrote my medical school application essay about how superman inspired me to be a doctor, and did anesthesia interviews where I talked about how you have to think like Batman. Tom King's Up in the Sky captures everything about superman that inspired me to work in the service of others and I'm certain it will do the same for others in the future. I truly believe the positive influence of that story will be vast. Thank you so much for your work.
I am down for Predator on a Pirate Ship AND Tom/Sal's Decloaked. This is a good fanbase. I learned everything from Sal and his team. I love the authors and having my mind changed on runs. More importantly I love that everyone knows Dark Knights Metal was absolute schlock. Human Target rocks.
i love sal's growth with king. It almost feels like the general audience feeling, where you grow to like it when you were intially outrraged at it 😅. another great interview btw!
Yeah, I just got into this channel a few weeks back. I’ve just been combing through the back catalog and my jaw literally dropped when I saw Sal doing this interview lmao
Honestly the part that shocked me the most is that Tom King is writing Archie. Never would’ve thought I’d say that sentence, but I’m kinda here for it.
To defend Mr. ComicPop's premise; In my mind the "boat" isn't an 18th century galleon, but instead a 40K inspired Space Hulk. Nostromo escalated by square kilometers
I’m gonna be frank, I think Tom King has become a much better Batman writer now than when he headlined the main series. It’s great to see such growth from an already talented author.
i just finished reading his brave and the bold arc with the joker and it’s one of the more impressive Bat/Joker stories I’ve read recently-had King wrote Joker War or something like it, i think it would’ve been better received than his Bane run. If you reading this haven’t read it, i highly recommend it: it’s my ideal early years Batman story so far
Tom King is hands down my favorite guest on this channel (everyone Is fantastic as well lol)! come back to his interview all the time for background sound & highlight moments
Also finished Kingdom Come for the first time for my local stores comic book club, got the bits of context I missed out on after years of listening, will be my first time attending the club but is at the store I’ve been frequenting for a year and know tons of the members❤
I’ve read a modest amount of Archie comics in my day, but I’m always a bit embarrassed when people talk with such affection about the comics when i grew up with and eventually learned to love riverdale
For the Tom of it all have been loving the WW book expecially the Trinity backups, Woman of tomorrow is the second trade I ever bought after Zdarskys Spider-Man life story 🫶(oops and TT’s first trade of Nightwing) and I bought another copy for my sister for Christmas 🎉
Not 10 seconds in and Sal is already talking about his Predator on a pirate ship pitch! I love it!
He knew we were already typing comments about if he’d bring it up and wanted to beat us to the submit button lol
Persistence lmao
Tom needs to be in a back issues episode. Better yet, have him tell a story of his (strange adventures preferably) to Sal’s parents

"I love sexy people" - Tom King. That quote needs to be on a Human Target collection.
Anytime Sal and Tom talk is literal gold

The story of this Predator vs Pirates idea can only end with the guys covering it on Back Issues one day.
Once Tom or Josh write it lols
Episode of good the bad and the ugly where Sal, Tom, and Josh give a pitch, and Tiff, Ben, and Ethan get to make the decision😂
God damn it, Tom king is so damn likable and his work is so freaking great (though admittedly I never read his Batman 😂)
Mr. King, Love Everlasting is amazing!!!!
I do love the idea of Two Face, the idea that you can let go of any personal responsibility for your actions because its all up to fate

I can’t believe this interview is how I learned there’s another Human Target issue I didn’t read because I read it in the hardcovers. Dammit.
I’m gonna be frank, I think Tom King has become a much better Batman writer now than when he headlined the main series. It’s great to see such growth from an already talented author.
I always love Sal and Tom’s chats. Insightful, thoughtful and always involving a predator on a pirate ship! Thanks for all you both do!
Great discussion! King's new Dark Horse book sounds awesome.
Also agreeing DC needs to release a deluxe of Human Target
The last flight of the Demeter was a financial failure. Which is basically a predator on a boat. Except Dracula in place of the Predator.
k
I love the talks with Tom King
i just finished reading his brave and the bold arc with the joker and it’s one of the more impressive Bat/Joker stories I’ve read recently-had King wrote Joker War or something like it, i think it would’ve been better received than his Bane run.

Tom King is so fun, great talk
I don’t love everything he does but i love hearing Tom talk
great job on this awesome interview man ;)

My favourite duo!
If you dont give this video a like for the Predator On A Pirate Ship open, you have no soul
Tom King interview? Awesome!
3:15 Sal says "Cue the graphic and theme song."
I just saw King at Thirdeye and told him I bought Gotham Year One because of Sal.
Just read the 2 human target hardcovers and now I’m super confused about not reading some sort of a bonus issue
Just read the entire Danger Street series in floppies earlier this week and absolutely LOVED IT
Also finished Kingdom Come for the first time for my local stores comic book club, got the bits of context I missed out on after years of listening, will be my first time attending the club but is at the store I’ve been frequenting for a year and know tons of the members❤
Will have to rewatch the old back issues before Tuesday, it’s a really old one from the comic store days yeah?
Nope just post I checked lol
(But it still sounds like it is 😂🎉❤)
Just got back from the comic shop, (got 3 indie trades and my pull list of big 2 books and a Capullo art Moon Knight short box) for this to go live 🎉
Tom’s Archie is proofing to be on my pull list when it comes out because I loved the Waid run so dearly.
I can’t believe I have a shared experience with Sal and Tom, I too have read Calvin and Hobbs collections till they’ve been falling apart.
As always, this is so wholesome
Reunited ! Always a good time with Sal and King
figuring out if i've seen this tom king interview before by checking his hat
I have dropped what I was doing.
As a Gothic literature fan I hope Helen of Wyndhorn brings new fans to the genre.
I love comics
Remember when Scarecrow had a mutation that made him like a giant straw man or something. This was after Bruce came back from his broken back.
I would love to hear Tom's pitch for a Predator story to rival Sal's...and now that he's writing Archie, what he thinks of Predator vs Archie
Love Sal and Tom together!
yooooo tom king!
Toms back Toms back
Yay Tom!
I’ve read a modest amount of Archie comics in my day, but I’m always a bit embarrassed when people talk with such affection about the comics when i grew up with and eventually learned to love riverdale
Disrobed - With Sal and Tom
Weeknights at 11
How could you guys talk about both Archie and Predator but not talk about Archie vs Predator?
Give this man Superman,
For the Tom of it all have been loving the WW book expecially the Trinity backups, Woman of tomorrow is the second trade I ever bought after Zdarskys Spider-Man life story 🫶(oops and TT’s first trade of Nightwing) and I bought another copy for my sister for Christmas 🎉
