Loved watching you guys during covid, and love this new regular format even more. The moody colouring of the video is very different, and editing and Brolls of the store makes for an engaging video. If I can also give feedback regarding the audio, it is clear , but having James come only through the right speaker and Remy on the left only speaker it doesn't sound quite right. Especially for people that listen on a home theatre setup. I think that the audio track needs to be replicated for both L+R audio channels for who ever is talking etc. But keep up the great work. 👍

[@comicsetc5788]

Thanks for that! I will pass it onto our producer. I love that we are being watched in a home theatre. In fact, I think we might start insisting we are ONLY viewed like that!

[@pgree68]

Great show as always. That wonder woman TPB looks ace. You forgot to mention the worst part of it which is the Artgerm cover.

[@pgree68]

Still gonna cop it though fr 🦾

[@comicsetc5788]

Artgerm = printing money over these parts!

[@Hekkas]

After giving Die a go this month, dropped this one on the website’s reviews. The story tells a perverse jumanji-style abduction of adults, returned to a dark, low-fantasy role-playing world they were once stranded in as teens. Other than trying to find a way to return to their current lives, they also have to deal with decisions made as teens when last trapped in this world, and the trauma of revisiting the past and disappearing on their loved ones. The book ends with a great hook, so I'll be looking to pick up the next volume soon. The art & character design by Stephanie Hans is incredible, and this volume has made me want to pick up Kieron Gillen's new series Power Fantasy as well.

[@comicsetc5788]

Your review was way better than mine!!!!

[@planthill954]

idk how you guys only have 470 subscribers, your videos are great and this is only my first time seeing you. immediately subbed

[@comicsetc5788]

Thanks! Look, while it seems we have been going for a while, we have only been at it just over 2.5 months so we will get there! We will be the next Mr Beast in no time!

[@subjectost]

It's insane how consistently great all the Ultimate books have been so far.

[@comicsetc5788]

Really looking forwarded to reading them!

[@joshie20]

Hickman's done some good work in the past between the X-Krakoa era books, and his FF & Fantastic Four runs. I've done the first 6 issues of Ultimate Spider-Man thanks to the Comics Direct website, and i'm enjoying this new adventure, but do kind of hope Hickman spends some time soon, fleshing out the core four family members a little more. Like Peter's obviously gotten a bunch of focus, but this version of MJ is skating on us knowing what the main universe MJ is like and one of the kids is still almost a complete mystery, which is a little frustrating when this fam is meant to be the core grounding force of the book.

[@comicsetc5788]

I want a Hickman creator owned book again!

[@hamish.w]

Had to do an assignment on the Wonder Woman movie and series and thoroughly enjoyed it. I haven’t read much Wonder Woman so I might have to buy this month’s book club book. Love the videos guys!

[@comicsetc5788]

Very Adult version so far.

[@arch6921]

Aw Yeah! Love these Wednesday vids, they're a nice mid-week pick-me-up. Thanks again guys

[@comicsetc5788]

Glad you like them!

[@DanielFairweather-f1o]

Love watching these videos every Wednesday! Was also already thinking about getting Ultimate Invasion, so it’s nice to have the discount code for that now too 😊

[@comicsetc5788]

Do it!

[@nothipbuthipp7634]

Oh Remy ... 9:22 also my reaction at receiving such a wonderful and thoughtful gift. 😂

[@comicsetc5788]

He can be so selfish.....

[@felixgracias599]

Remy, you barely managed to hide your disdain when you found out what you had to read 😂

[@comicsetc5788]

He is an idiot. So far both are great!

[@jeffreybeitz948]

If i win the $200 gift card i will buy all of your Archie comics and burn them. Great show as always. That wonder woman TPB looks ace. You forgot to mention the best part of it which is the Artgerm cover.

[@comicsetc5788]

AND! It’s a comic store exclusive! Take that book stores!

[@MaggieFok]

Wow I’m sold on Die. Sounds like a great story. Also I think you guys need a podcast. (Just trying to keep my boy Colin employed.)

[@comicsetc5788]

God, he would kill us if he also had to hear us drag on for an hour every week,...... might do it! ha!

[@tron_zone_guy]

Unlocked new rating categories- ‘YAAAH’ , ‘AW YEAH!’

[@comicsetc5788]

I’ll only do it if it annoys Remy….

[@adrianosm_]

DIE is so good and gets even better when you have the baggage to get all the references Gillen adds to it. Not to mention that the art from Stephanie Hans is great! (And btw, if you are reading this, the same duo has an original graphic novel that you can pre-order on Comics Etc Direct right now (Aug/24) ;) )

[@comicsetc5788]

Preach! Added to our direct cart!

[@FilmFactoryNow]

Die looks absolutely stunning. Love the art

[@comicsetc5788]

Brilliant from beginning to end.

[@thewizzrd]

10/10. I love the banter between you two.

[@comicsetc5788]

10/10 love you right back!

[@mano7636]

Omg Die would be the perfect gift for my DnD friend who's birthday is coming up. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@comicsetc5788]

It. Is. Bomb!

[@ChrisFlowers]

$18 for DIE? That's going in my basket. I knew nothing of it until your vids. Assume you have vol 1 and 2 in stock? Cheers guys 👍

[@comicsetc5788]

We Sure do!

[@timberry2723]

Well looks like I have another title to add to my to buy list. Die sounds amazing!

[@comicsetc5788]

It really is!

[@jshie20]

Delightfully coinciding with the start of Kieron Gillan's new Image series with art by CASPAR WIJNGAARD called The Power Fantasy (available for pre-order on your local Comics Etc website)

[@comicsetc5788]

I know! Exciting! Love the Plug!

[@raywilliams5225]

Wow, I never heard of DIE before, but now I want it; just a recommendation: maybe give a discount to comics you just reviewed and not the ones you're about to review....Just a thought.

[@comicsetc5788]

Was JUST thinking something along those lines may be a good idea. We will workshop it.

[@nothipbuthipp7634]

Agreed!

[@danielroberts7298]

What!!! I just bought WW yesterday for full price! Thor Damn it!!!!!!

[@comicsetc5788]

Come see us when ya in next, we can hook ya up!

[@Stirling13]

My daughter is definitely team Remy after that tshirt!

[@comicsetc5788]

Wait till he brings out the Dawson's creek shirt!

[@Stirling13]

@@comicsetc5788 pretty sure that would lose her again hahaha

[@alexandernho]

Die is excellent! I have always thought it would make for an excellent miniseries, hopefully with the DND resurgence it becomes more of a possibility.

[@comicsetc5788]

The budget would have to be very high to do it justice otherwise I hope they don’t do it…..

[@alexandernho]

Man, you guys have a KZbin channel?! Nice

[@comicsetc5788]

We do!!!! Enjoy!

Comics Etc is so great.

[@comicsetc5788]

Aww Shucks! Right back atcha!

[@danik9651]

Looking to pick up ultimate invasion❤

[@comicsetc5788]

Its worth it!

[@peterdee2761]

Ultimate Invasion looks OK, Hickman is a solid writer.

[@comicsetc5788]

He hasn't let us down yet!

[@dionturner4279]

Having a long standing comic universe seems to be the only thing that Sonic has over Mario.

[@comicsetc5788]

And much much much better games?

[@jmorr777]

I don't think that you'll like the Ultimate Invasion trade comic! Its got really cool art and the story was decent enough! Definitely has some maps in it to show some of the global influence occurring in the 'New Ultimate' world but it can feel a bit draggy at points. Hope that you experience it differently/better than I did though!

[@comicsetc5788]

Spoiler for next video, but so far it seems... "Bold"

[@kjb1336]

🤘🔥🤘👍

[@troymcalister3301]

good to see regular vids happening like in covid lockdown times

[@comicsetc5788]

Thanks! We love doing them!

[@user-zd6rv6ur9i]

looking forward to hearing about the tom king wonder woman, i am jumping on with the dc all in, but would like to know if it is worth going back to read the full run aswell

[@comicsetc5788]

So far so good!

[@sh0tt3r]

yeah, I'm interested to hear the take on King's WW too

[@WilBroussard1968]

Die sounds great. You’ve sold me. I’m in. 👍

No, we live YOU!

My review of these videos: aw yeah! (Sorry, Remy!)

[@comicsetc5788]

HAHAHAHAHAH! Love it!

[@robfergus9713]

Tom King..... I'll never forgive him for the steaming turd that was Heroes in Crisis.

[@comicsetc5788]

Yeah...... not great....

[@MatthewMalone-hd3cf]

Hi there, honest criticism: The dynamic between you two is really fun as you have very different personalities. Having you guys pick books for each other is a great idea and helps us get a view of all different kinds of books. However, if you keep changing the rules (i.e. ‘I already read this’ and ‘you have to give this book to me’) it ruins the whole charm of book club, and kinda makes you seem really annoying. I like the idea of having themes each month, like choosing recent books, but you just need to stick to the rules. I’m really enjoying the channel and I love hearing your guys’ opinions on these books 😊

[@comicsetc5788]

I excellent excellent feedback! For sure will take that on board!
