When Johnny Storm is killed in the negative zone fighting off the annihilation wave. Awesome moment for sure.

I'm shocked SHOCKED when Josh asked for a big new Superman villain Sal didn't say "Oh Rogol Zar." immediately.

@comicpopreturns 5 месяцев назад

OMG

@mitchellregan21 5 месяцев назад

The biggest Superman character introduced post 90s is obviously Rogol Zaar.

@mobrk6036 Месяц назад

Manchester Black (2001)

@iaustineify 5 месяцев назад

I feel like the biggest Superman character that was introduced after Reign of the Supermen was probably Jon Kent.

@pattongilbert 5 месяцев назад

I’d say the biggest ones are definitely: Livewire, Jon Kent, Manchester Black, Natasha Irons (Steel), Super-Man (Kong Kenan), Mercy Graves, Calvin Ellis, Superboy Prime Otho-Ra, Osul-Ra, and Marilyn Moonlight have a good chance of being added. Possibly the Chained and Red Cloud as well.

@tylersaez4095 5 месяцев назад

I agree with these although Superboy Prime was introduced back in 1985 during the original Crisis. Maybe also Bloodsport thanks to The Suicide Squad.

Josh on the couch for something like 90's Superboy would be a very fun episode

@dedbatt8869 5 месяцев назад

Gotta get him on the couch at some point right?!

@thinktankstudios 5 месяцев назад

He didn't break the bank like Doomsday, but Manchester Black would be my pick. A fantastic villain who has only been made more relevant now.

@GilmerEricSmith 5 месяцев назад

Probably Manchester Black for new Superman characters, would’ve loved Christian Bale as Dr Doom

@Platapusa 5 месяцев назад

The last conversation you two had about the level of maturity. The question of what is too much to people; was nail on the head! I've always been thinking about that conflict. I'm struggling to enjoy different stories because of this roadblock.

@JLD22591 5 месяцев назад

One of my biggest regrets for selling a comic is actually the whole Secret Wars series. I found 11 out of the 12 issues including issue number 8 in a dollar bin at a flea market in good condition. The only issue that was missing was issue 4 and I picked that up on eBay for a couple more dollars. I sold that a few years ago and made a decent amount on it but still regret it. I have it digitally, but I love that story and for me finding 11 out of 12 parts of a limited series with like every superhero ever on the cover was one of the highlights of my childhood.

@oldkingcole4354 4 месяца назад

Nova ripping out Annihilus’s intestines was such an awesome scene

@ShatteredTrousers 5 месяцев назад

It thrills me to hear Joshua talking up 'Dwellings' - such a great mini-series. I think Tiffany would really have fun with it. I remember DC tried giving Conduit a red-hot try across all the Superman titles during Zero Hour. He had a cool look, in all in acid green and glossy black, and he even had his own action figure in the 1996 'Superman Man of Steel' toy line. I think it's time Conduit had a reintroduction and finally get his flowers.

@Simeon_Scott 5 месяцев назад

Livewire is a somewhat major villain (At least in the sense that most readers know her) who first appeared in 06, but that's because she was originally created for the Timmverse cartoon in 97.

@antdujar 5 месяцев назад

Always a goodtime when Sal and Josh are chatting comics.

@Sluggwurth 5 месяцев назад

Closest thing I can think to compare the moment of the Spider-man Black Suit would be the original Super Saiyan transformation from Dragon Ball

@HotshotMC 5 месяцев назад

Jon kent would be my guess for biggest recent Superman character, also maybe Kenan Kong

@flatlinesfangirl 5 месяцев назад

So i have a question, what is joshua’s reaction to the massive amount of flatline love? She even has a whole fanbase, the general public seems to enjoy her character.

@battletoads82 5 месяцев назад

I used to get the majority of my comics at a local grocery store off a spinner. I kept them in a card board box with handles, no bags or boards.

@cjlevin4622 5 месяцев назад

Josh has the right idea with having two kids. During an emergency you can play man to man instead of zone defense

@justicerice3589 5 месяцев назад

My wife and I literally do this in a lot of situations, we have two boys and when we go out we just pair off and it’s really a lot easier.

@coolshirtkid 5 месяцев назад

even when i’m not entirely familiar with the writer, these episodes are such invaluable listens for insight into the industry and the creative process of these artists, keep up the awesome work!

@stephenjohnson9745 5 месяцев назад

I've also got a Brubaker shelf, but it is just the stuff with Phillips. His Batman work is with the rest of my Batman stuff (except The Man Who Laughs collection because it has the Gotham noir one shot they did together)

That storm was brutal! I had my wisdom teeth out that morning and lost power for 3 days. I had to drink cold broth… glad you made it Josh!

@lexofpower2822 5 месяцев назад

I don’t know if Josh will read this but: With James Gunn spearheading the DCU is there anything that your hoping to see in this new universe? This was awesome as always! I’m sorry about you losing power during that storm Josh, that’s sucks. Stay cool!

I didn’t have a comic shop where I grew up I didn’t start going to comic shop till I was a young teen it was a 4 and half hour drive I had to do every second weekend sometimes every week to go to a special type of doctor clinic and my treat afterwards if we had time was going to comic shop than after going for pizza at pizza restaurant those where fun times and when stop for gas and stuff we go to arcade I got to play tekken so it was tekken and comics for my weekends for a long time.

@williamtsang4116 5 месяцев назад

I don't have any big questions for Josh, but if he does come back, I would love to see what he thinks of Kong Kenan (who never splashed as big as Jon, but his solo is fantastic, and I would welcome seeing Josh do something with him in the same token as he did Conner with Superman #8)

Hey Josh, you inspire me as a writer and I absolutely love your Superman. I was wondering if, when you have a pitch for a comic book publisher, do you write a script first or wait until the pitch is green lit and then write issue 1. Thanks so much for your response

@sangera 5 месяцев назад

My local shop bags and boards for free, but my first LCS didn't bag and board at all. When I was younger, about ten years ago, my brother and I would cut up cardboard boxes for the boards. I don't know where my brother got the bags, and I don't know why he didn't just look it up online and buy a bunch.

@caretherecrygive 5 месяцев назад

Hi Joshua!! I have a lot of questions so I'm just gonna put them all here 1) Does Nika/Flatline have a last name yet? Cause she's been around a while and as a fan im just really curious as to what it is, and is Nikas last name going to be tied into some future plot? Is that why we haven't learned it yet? Or have you just not thought of one (which is fine♥️) 2) Will we see anyone from the Lazarus Tournament besides Nika? I really loved that whole group and I'd love to see them again working together again. 3) Will Nika show up just this one time in Batman and Robin? Or will she leave and come back from time to time, I hope this isn't the last we see from her 4) I love Nika and Damian together, let it be as a couple or as just friends, will we get to see more of them in the future?

@tylersaez4095 5 месяцев назад

I think they were thinking about characters who were introduced after the entire death and return saga. Otherwise the 4 Supermen would definitely all count.

I feel the same way about Avatar 2. I went in on an edible, so I thoroughly enjoyed the vibes of the water and everything, then the movie was long enough I sobered up enough to be emotionally invested. Honestly the ideal way to watch that movie 1:10:18
