[@cartoonhistory353]

Had to come revisit this masterpiece of a video been watching for awhile now love every video G

[@crankinghog]

You didn't mention how on every 33rd comic panel, words can be seen in the background that, when put together, say, "Jodie is the Beast"

[@partofthetribe3277]

Wow

[@BrotherMag]

Wowww. I knew it!

[@jonasen7400]

When the Priest asked god for a sign that Jody was jesus, his dog litterally died. That would be a HUGE sign that nothing good was to come from Jody

[@Mord12gp]

Or that god wanted him to see Judi. Everyone loves to say "god works in mysterious ways," but its always been code for "we have no idea what's going on."

[@kingsrefuge]

thats where I figured it out.

[@dannymalt]

ATTENTION! PLEASE VOTE IN POLL! If you want to. There are 14 or so other Millarworld books to choose from, I can't do them all, so I thought it would be fun to put it to a vote. Please vote here for which book you would most like me to cover so I can make sure I get to it. I will close voting on October 3rd. forms.gle/exBLocnkpzSjvbto9

[@BrotherMag]

What if jody is the antichrist?

[@jdogsful]

im at chapter 2 but im already thinking jodie is actually the anti-christ. Im sure im wrong.

[@jdogsful]

lol just hit 28 mins and im laughin my ass off. Was it that obvious to everyone?

[@rickymoranjr9609]

@Dannymalt wow, this comic is amazing, way better than "Outcast". I'm surprised that this wasn't made into a TV series. this is pretty good stuff right here. 😁🙏

[@otaha1988]

I haven't finished the video but wouldn't the kid be the Antichrist. In the Bible revelations it talks about a man saying that he is Jesus and imitating the powers of Jesus but he's actually the Antichrist and that he'll rule the world. Is that the plot twist of this comic

[@otaha1988]

Turns out I was right

[@likefire1617]

just like evangelical are calling trump the "chosen one", second coming..totally disregarding the prophecy of the Antichrist claiming to be "the chosen one"..

[@likefire1617]

not saying trump is the Antichrist..hes to dumb and foolish for that..but it shows how gulliable and sheepish religious people can be..

[@likefire1617]

spoiler alert..

[@otaha1988]

@@likefire1617 or just people in general being sheep

[@mrrictus]

A36>3 6's>666 Another Easter egg is when his history teacher was quizzing him and his mother directing the kid to read Revelations. Both moments are featured in the Omen 2 film.

[@VicAtNyte]

Dammit you beat me to that comment lol I was just about to comment that!!

[@crankinghog]

@@VicAtNyte lol me too

[@mrrictus]

Lol my bad. But it’s nice to know we were all surfing on the same wavelength.

[@finpark7785]

After seeing that "the chosen one" is based off of a Mark Millar comic, I came straight to this channel. The show is a lot different than the comic. Now I'm kind of wondering if I would like the show more if it was closer to the comic books direction.

[@acurry2323]

Danny you're the best part of my Sunday my G

[@BrotherWulfe]

The chosen one has finally arrived!!!!

[@stevendhuddlesonjr6899]

Indeed he has

[@vinnieharper]

Thank you for your content, Danny. Great stuff.

[@RawB242]

This was awesome. Cant wait to see part 2

[@LajidimusPrime]

You narrated this very well! Well done

[@drbob212]

Great choice, Danny!!!! You make my Sundays!

[@serginio091]

Hey ,really big fan of your channel love all your videos. Keep it up!

[@daweithisisdavidinmandarin6121]

Sorry, the twist became my expectation when the kiss happened and when the dog die. I was like oh, he smells like sulfur, lol

[@DippedInInk]

Love the twist of this entire story.

[@technicolorvisiontv4614]

This is one of funniest bits of fiction I've heard i am sharing this around

[@rodneyhayban4398]

I love it i love every video u put out danny amazing work as always brother love from trinidad im subcribed and i like yr videos as soon as i click on

[@bobbyleopard5837]

thanks Danny!!!

[@sjbrooksy45]

Another good one!

[@mymyhi9921]

It did same odd that he didn't have any siblings and that he needed to be protect. Because Jesus had siblings and wasn't shield by a group and no wiseman or anything of that nature great video. I'm glad I watched it been sort of down lately with my mental health

[@mr.a8351]

Great!!! Maybe you can do the original Hellblazer run.

[@Peanutchex]

Thank You Sir

[@fardin3m39]

i like the easter egg reveal at the end

[@jokireyn3873]

I saw this twist once Lilly came back. The Easter eggs were wack though lol. I live 2 and a half hrs from Peoria so this was a pretty cool, almost close to home story.

[@unluckysoul5494]

This is looking pretty interesting

[@prisonmike729]

The old days of having a porno mag hidden somewhere out in the woods 😂

[@jebeda]

That does look fun.

[@sabyhernandezjr7048]

Warren Ellis's Plantentary! Please my guy, the fans won't be disappointed.

[@lorenzodelarosa5659]

Could you do the blacksad comic book series please

[@j...2978]

Will the dog be evil... start wearing Metallica t shirts and painting his nails black.?

[@juanphjr]

I guess I'll start American Jesus now since Fables is on hiatus lol

[@sodapants3328]

Wow dude what a twist 0_0 omg the devil lol

[@mspatrick350]

I Kinda saw that coming after the kiss

[@redjirachi1]

Not even American comics are safe from Truck-kun!

[@partofthetribe3277]

"so it's friggin dead!!"

[@joshuagraham2843]

so are they going to make live adaptation of american jesus i never read it or heard of it i mean i’ve heard of it but never read it, but thank you for explaining

[@crisananca313]

yeah but they are starting episodes with the real American Jesus, who happens to actually be a half black half Hispanic girl, so Netflix cant Netflix-ify it

[@rodneyhayban4398]

I really hate dat they made u take down d invincible vids bro i love dem n i havnt seen any of yr vids on dem ive watched comics explained on dem but i really want yr version

[@luisosmarrosalesmanuel8236]

What all thing about first super crooks teaser?

[@dannymalt]

That’s it for now for that book, there is no more. I read that Millar might continue with it tho.

[@KloudNineMusic]

Wow I did not see that ending coming!!!!

[@bisurker]

Can't wait until Netflix picks this one up lol.

[@crisananca313]

they already have, they started with volume 2

[@evanward4303]

27:45 666 on Lilly's knuckles

[@jasonl888]

but. would he Pray in Peoria?

[@jadehenry1691]

I knew it 27:37

[@mannydel1]

Interesting but I think Millar borrows heavily from the 1976 film The Omen.

[@WGasmss]

I keep getting the vibes that this dude is the Antichrist lol and I’m like 15 mins in

[@mitch7596]

40 seconds into the new tv show and I came here bc I thought maybe he was the anti christ :P but it's more explicit in it, because of the dream woman saying he's marked with her brand which is very satanny but im grateful you gave me a fun synopsis and I could skip the series ty!

[@johnw3520]

I hate that I knew when I saw the Lily B name tags. I was noticing the names when it was Jodie Christian (JD). Lily b sounded too much like Lilith

[@ManiaMusicChannel]

I come from the Netflix series

[@drbob212]

Are the believers in colour and the rest faded??

[@SammyFlayed]

Spoiler alert....... Even tho jodie was the son of satan in the end, instead of fighting with the massiah he asked for forgivness and he had 2 children it in the comics

[@darrylcatay2295]

That was better than the usual super hero crap that you do !

[@kreiyu]

Christenson? Really? A bit on the nose isn't it?

[@tassosplatis2143]

The Lord will not be mocked.

A kid that cures people so they believe him yay nothing bad would happen Is not like Jesus who cure people after believe him, literally the opposite 🤣🤣
