I just want to say thank you for doing your part in keeping comics alive there are channels out there who mostly focus on negativity just for negativity sake and Im glad you give honest reviews and talk about books you actually like. I love your content and think you are amazing at it 👌🏽
FCO colored most (if not all) of Snyder and Capullo's Batman, along with a chunk of more recent spawn stuff. Honestly, I feel like the colors in that bat run are under appreciated, partially because of how often colorists are under valued generally, but they're pretty great
Ben and Ethan lived together? That’s so cute. You guys really are a family. Real Life fantastic four! Ethan-Telekenetic Ben-Speedster Tiffany-Magic User Sal-Energy manipulation and strength powers! We need THAT movie (Always so sad when I miss these live; screw timezones)
The Neptune stuff isn't a retcon. One of the first story arcs for Namor in modern Marvel had him retrieving the Trident of Neptune. Neptune spoke to him through various sea life during it. Neptune is also very real to Atlanteans, because he was responsible for their transformation from land beings to ocean dwellers.
Congrats on 30k! Lots of fun had here, and you guys deserve all the attention you can get for it! Also, Tiff has me interested in a Zatana book. Woot lol 🍻 🎉
I'd love to go to the signing and I preordered an awesome foil version of the Alex Ross cover for the book, but I work Oct 9th and 10th and only have like 4 more days off for the year so prolly won't be able to make it lol. I'm gonna try and go to NYCC this year tho so hopefully I'll run in to you guys with my copy on hand haha
Spurrier's Flash was definitely a trade wait for me. The first couple issues were jarring after Adams, but by the end of the volume I was in for the ride. Only other work I've read is Coda, but that was enough for me to wanna give it a real chance, and I'm glad I did.
45:06 Agree to this so much! It IS a bleak story. And I definitely did not like it. I'd even go back as far as Bendis' Illuminati story where they blew up a Skrull spaceship killing a bunch of them. They just keep wanting to turn the heroes into villains/ monsters for some reason. Ugh.
13:20 Huh?! Listen to that creative team! What the hell?! The Marvels creative team working on a DC-Star Wars crossover?? Darkseid vs the Emperor Yoda meets the Guardians of the Universe Sith Sinestro That took 60 seconds to pitch
Maybe it’s cause I’m British? But as much as I have been enjoying this Flash run. I don’t know that it needed all the existential dread or if it was even necessary? The Speed force “Dying” while a fresh take is so in line with what you’d expect from a British writer. To the point it’s almost like a parody. It’s kind of the same feeling I’ve gotten reading Power Fantasy. It’s a good book but it just comes across a little…I wanna say pretentious but I don’t know if that’s the word. Maybe unintentionally preachy? Sometimes I wish British writers would take a different approach but hey I’m looking outside right now and it’s raining so I get it.
I reeeeeaaaallly think they're gonna go far left field with the suit and have it be a Clone Saga adaptation rather than a Venom adaptation, and your idea about Ben getting the suit as Venom just makes it seem even more likely to me. Imagine that drama where it being built up that Ben is putting on the suit at night only for it to be revealed that its not anything like Venom but he's really doing it because the AI is his dad and Peter hasn't been spending any time with him lately. Although my original idea was that they'd go hardcore Clone Saga with it and have Peter eventually name the suit Ben even though the AI is himself. Eventually, he'd have to throw it away down the smokestack only for it to start taking over people to lead out Peter's life as Spider-Man in a sorta-Venom sorta-Ben Reilly kinda situation. Maybe even have like the suit suggest, "something cool, like Venom," when they're trying to pick a name as a nod, then also something where they find out the codename for that model picosuit is Jackal. Edit: ayyy someone had the same idea! Great minds and all that lol
15:00 You can say that again. I've just read Countdown for the first time last month. It was awful and not worth the price I paid... which was nothing because my friend lend me his copy he bought way back when.
I'm glad Tiffany likes the Flash, but I really don't. I don't like Si Spurrier's writing and don't like it for Wally. If they had had him do Barry's story instead of replacing Adams with Wally, I feel like I'd have liked it a bit more, but I'm just not a fan.

I’m glad DC’s mindset on crossovers has changed recently tho! Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong was so fun to read this year!

I recently got back into reading DC thanks to your shows. The new run of DC is shaping up to be some good stories.
Oh that says Didio I thought that said Dido. I was like what does the singer have against comic book crossovers? Lol!
DC/Star Wars would've been great! Superman fighting Vader who joined the Darkseid of the Source? Yes please!

I feel the same way about the Batman/Indiana Jones crossover comic that was going to happen but eventually fell apart.
Wow, I got so used to that couch…

Peter says "We can't be like them. We're supposed to be heroes. We're supposed to be better than that. We have to be."
sounds like that is just his head cannon of how heroes act.
13:20 Huh?! Listen to that creative team! What the hell?! The Marvels creative team working on a DC-Star Wars crossover??
Darkseid vs the Emperor
Yoda meets the Guardians of the Universe

We need a Ram V Man Thing mini or an 8 issue limited series.
Anyway we can get the Allstar podcast also on Spotify ??
Halloween Episode...... Something Army of Darkness!
I want that couch
With all the Transformers talk, Ddubs 1st arc coming to a BackIssues near you mayhaps?
Dc Vs Star Wars!?!?! No friggin way!!!

How is Sal not reading Predator vs Black Panter?
Halloween episode Gotham city limits or county lines I forget the name lol
Dc and marvel said they will cross over in thor and doomsday clock
No they didn't. Johns implied it all by himself. It is in no way coordinated with the two publishers.
@@comicpopreturns ooooh ok cool 😊 a man can dream though lol
