Dude. I actually bought the whole Cap run where he was killed and Bucky took over. I love the Spidey run where they kind of did a retelling, bringing back Kraven and Rhino. Daredevil. Fantastic Four. Trust me, I have much love for Marvel too. Thanks for watching.
Issue #0 was meant to inform new/old readers alike about what the current history/origin is for the characters since their back stories and origins were altered by flashpoint. And if their origin has already been told within the first 12 issues of the new 52, then issue 0 was meant to help establish what things were still canon in the new 52 universe. Kind of like a quick "DC New 52 Universe for Dummies" type thing.
Please make more of these! I love comics and listening to you talk about series that you like is informative as well as relaxing. I'm a sucker for ASMR videos involving lists of things that people like; books, movies, etc. So I really hope you make more. At least enough to cover all of your longboxes. :P
I think you'd love the book Gotham by Midnight. It's about a precinct in the Gotham Police force that fights the supernatural elements of the city. The main character is Jim Corrigan, the Spectre, who just so happens to be one of my favorite characters to read. The art is by Ben Templesmith, who really brings the Lovecraftian vibe to life. It's definitely one of my favorite books out right now.
As a subscriber, I can't thank you enough for all the effort and time you put into all of your videos. I know I can speak for most, if not all of your subscribers when I say we really do appreciate it. Thank you so much E.R.
Also as for the Zero issues. It doesn't mean that they are relaunching or restarting the numbering. It's just something the industry has done occasionally since the 90's. A Zero issue will be published for a particular series and it usually serves as a prequel or additional origin material. After a Zero issue a series just continues on as usual from wherever they left off in the numbering.
Hey Ephemeral, ot 2:34 you stated that you'd try and do more comic book videos at least once a month....it's December now, we've anxiously waiting for the next video; Sorry, hate to bust you nuts about it but I love the comic book vids the best :)
I'm on the wrong side of youtube I think but for some odd reason I really liked but I should stop or else I will start sleeping with the darn things...
I'm not sure if they are making new ones currently but I know that if there is a comic store near you there's no way they won't have at least one copy. The game The Darkness was made because the comics were so popular. If I'm not mistaken there was even one were Jackie teamed up with Laura Croft in Tomb Raider.
Man there's a long way to go in comic books and they're universes. Its gonna take me forever to read these multiple series of comic books. I know theres the most famous and best ones. Like Marvel and DC. :)
I was about to say WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Then I realized my sub page decided not to show your uploads for a few weeks. Made sure all the subscription settings are right beforehand so...Yeah. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me? I Can't live without these tingles!
You REALLY should get yourself one of them old, briefcases, a cap hat, a black mafia suit and start counting out money (preferably notes, flicking through the decks of money) The noises of the opening and closing locks would be a great trigger as would be the tapping on the briefcase itself. Please consider -Peter
I love Scott Snyder's writing. I've heard so many good things about American Vampire, but have been afraid to try it. I'm kind of burnt out on vampires from pop culture. Same with zombies. I don't know, I think you may have inspired me to give it a try.
I second/third/thousandd Preacher. The best comic I've ever read, and from what I've seen it should be right up your alley. Incredibly entertaining and crude and bloody, but at the same time thought-provoking and enthralling. Also there's a character called Arseface.
You're most welcome, I think your videos are creative and innovative in my opinion as well as relaxing. Keep up the good work and I'm really looking forward too your upcoming Alien ASMR video :D
It's been out since the 80's, and is quite a good series. In addition to that one, check out the Transmetropolitan series for the lighter side of a slightly dystopian vision of the future from the past, but with a sci-fi / Bladerunner flair. I found it a nice pick-me-up after reading Moore's masterpiece, which was quite dark.
Hey Paul, Did you end up picking up the American Vampire series again? I love you chatting about comics. It's always a relaxing experience . I've been on and off collecting since I was about 12. My focus was Spider-Man. Loved him as a kid :) I loved reading the letters at the back, too- felt like I was connecting with people from across the world. Great feeling. Latest pickups for me: I hate fairyland #8 (explicit cover variant) Go teen titans (a first for me!) Spider-Man/Deadpool And back issues of the 2015/2016 reintroduction of Spider-Man 2099 (before the sinister 6 story which I didn't really care for). Love your work, mate. Cheers, Nick (Wollongong, Australia)
I have to say I dont get into MALE asmrtist but dude! Your the COOLEST male ASMRTIST I have seen yet and your now my FAV male ASMRTIST,keep up the good work and you have a new SUBER bud!
You have to read All star superman. That is thee best superman story in along time. Grant Morrison is a great writer but he can be a bit delirious with some books.
I don't know much about specific comics, but I really enjoy superhero and supervillain lore as a whole. Question though: Why did you stop collecting them, ER?
I look forward to next one if you get to it =) A lot of my friends and my brother are or were big on comics and I love listening to their conversations and learning about some of the story arcs, I only ever really got into Niel Gaimans comics and an odd assortment of collected volumes/graphic novels... really loved the adaption of clive barkers 'the yattering and jack' fantastic artwork, and i loved the character of the demon the yattering.
You should check out Saga if you haven't already. I can't recommend this book enough. So far it's only at about 13 issues so it isn't too difficult to catch up on. It's kind of the industry darling at the moment. Tons of critical acclaim and it's well deserved.
Hey EPH. just wanted to say thanks man, you gave me some massive motivation to make asmr vids myself cause that's what makes me happy!! be who you are, that's what i learned from you my friend, if i can call you so :D
very much older now... it was a single graphic novel adaption of clive barkers short story of the same title, shouldn't be too expensive/hard to find online if you like things for the artwork.
I'm curious, have you read Morning Glories from Image at all? It seems like it would be right up your alley. Season 2 started a few months back, but you could get Season 1 in trade if you haven't read it yet. It's REALLY good.
There's a book that's been going on for about a year now called "saga" it's is absolutely incredible and you with your creative type of mind would particularly like it I think. It's published by Image comics. Try to get the trade paperbacks
Can you do some ASMR videos with some more comics like maybe some of your marvel collection or any other comics? Ive watched all your comic vids and I love them. Please Please, more comic videos!
@EphemeralRift I like your more creative ones man. You should do one with the plague doctor using bizarre methods to get the plastic bag of the guys head.
Its this October, not sure exactly when but you can check nycc.com. I know you live in P.A. but its a pretty close event and its lots of fun, unless you like to go to a closer con.
Why should I collect Comics? If I collect them as investment for future times, I have to know the point to sell them or they are worthless/ I have payed more as I get back. If I read them, they are worthless as colletable item. So, why should I stash paper in my house?
Man, I really hate the fact that here in Brussels all comic book stores push belgian/european artists and completely ignore all these great titles from DC. I mean, it's good that they want to promote artists from their own country, but at the same time it's unfair titles like these are completely ignored. Plus, if you ask them for some specific titles from DC (or even mangas), they almost seem to get offended! I will have to start ordering them online...paying twice as much! :( Great video btw
if you have aproblem with your voice like lymnods iam very sorry man.i also have a problem with my back I slippep my L3,4,5.and ive had 3 surgerys and once I was scared shitless in chapel hill.the told me I had 80 of not walking if they worked on my herniated disck.i take morphine so I love your comics and I hope and pray you fell better
