[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry. It's been a while, but y'all got right back into it like riding a bike.

[@HassanKhadair]

My boys are back!

[@catlawyerwilldefendfortrea6038]

This is Absolute Ultimate KZbin right here

[@MCLegoboy]

Sounds like the start of a new show: The Absolute Ultimate Podcast with Rob & Sal

[@TheGreatDevlin]

Trademark it before the Secret KZbin Crisis happens

[@Hulkzilla0]

@@TheGreatDevlin Infinite KZbin Wars as a follow up

[@robertorodriguez9110]

Just wanted to say Thanks to Rob and Sal for the KZbin surprise. RIP Ben you are missed.

[@josephcannella2930]

Fuck. Yes. The Weekly Pull, in any format or amount of former members, is always going to be amazing to watch. Brings me back to my middle school days

[@ryanmcveigh2433]

These two doing a podcast together brings me some joy.

[@LifeOfBoogie803]

These two guys (and one more very missed individual RIP Benny) single handedly sparked my love for comics. Thank y’all for your time and passion for comics.

[@anthonylynch423]

Absolute comics with Sal and Benny was special and so was the weekly pull. I wish we had a show with Rob and Sal just for nostalgia sake

[@StraightEdge3.16]

I would like one with andy too.

[@KOFNY]

SON SON SON LEMME TELL YOU SOMETHING.....FEELS LIKE THE WEEKLY PULL AGAIN! Always great seeing you guys together. Brings out the kid in me again (Hope that didn't make you feel too old lol). We need another one with you guys and Joel.

[@Jay_SGE]

Rob saying he’s not reading mainline DC when he’s reviewing Williamson’s Superman is the most Rob thing 😂

[@DannyAnderson-l2b]

Marvel: what's your spider man pitch Hickman: I wanna put peter and mj back together Marvel:.... So you can start a new ultimate universe

[@julianthomas3277]

Dude can we get these two together even just once a month. There are at least a few books to talk about in the cycle of a month... We all need more of this!

[@mikehank2896]

Ooh my goodness Sal, hit after hit after hit after hit(weekly stream with tiff), I tell you, it’s comic pop 2025!!

[@notPalores]

Holy crap!! I’d love to see ComicsExplained more often!!!

[@Evan-zx2vd]

This was the hit of nostalgia I needed today

[@The_Phantasm]

Great to see you guys again! I remember one of the last time I saw you guys together was when you were streaming with Benny and then out of nowhere it was announced Hugh Jackman was returning as Wolverine. Still miss Benny so much.

[@mementomori771]

24:19 East of West referenced my soul has been replenished thank you

[@figurespeech101]

Loving Absolute Wonderwoman. It acknowledges so many things are wrong in the world, but how beautiful it is to have love, empathy, and friendship in spite of it all. Total hope core. Love it.

[@zimkid420]

Just spied the signed pic of Tiff w/ Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick...Too much....awesomeness...in one...photo!! ::Ark of the Covenant opening sound::

[@danielcooper3788]

Two of my favorite comic people. Rob is the GOAT ,with comics explained. I love seeing you guys talk comics together.

[@PharaohDom]

Duggan's X-Men suffered from being a traditional superhero book amidst a sea of forward-thinking contemporaries in its line. It had a thankless job, and I think it executed it quite well.

[@THE_Dodge_Morningstar]

IT'S 🤬ING ROB!!! 😂That's awesome! I can't wait to watch this.

[@MrZaku-rh4qt]

I could listen to you two talk all day, please collab more

[@SamuelSummers5]

Make this a monthly show.

[@Peecamarke]

Like, yesterday 👌🏿 😮

[@solarian3504]

Love the Sal and Rob episodes of anything. COMICPOP WOOO

[@maxscarrow4547]

Sal and rob together talking really is just we got to keep going and keep living even tho things will never be the same without benny

[@Sicod79]

Am I the only one trying to figure out who is in the photo next to Sal's wedding photo?

[@comicpopreturns]

It's Tiffany, Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick!

[@marcushamner5994]

Sal and Rob are KZbin’s “World’s Finest”. It’s awesome seeing you too collab again! I miss Benny. He would have loved the Deadpool/ Wolverine movie, Absolute DC, and Ultimate Marvel stories.

[@pamjam53]

all we’re missing is benny, rip a comic goat. but amazing video!!!!!!

[@davidesterley3163]

This is the coolest! So happy to see Sal and Rob interact on camera after so long!

[@Peecamarke]

Holys***!!! 😮 Can’t believe y’all just casually dropped this podcast!!

[@micahfisher6125]

This wins the internet today.

[@Chance1106]

The Absolute and the ultimate comics are ticking all the boxes for me. They’re fantastic

[@TevyaSmolka]

Great to see everyone back and god i miss you guys so much. :)

[@410nik.]

Glad yall back talk comics together always been a huge fan of the weekly pull

[@Revanxbone]

YOOOOO Rob and Sal together!!! Let's go!

[@TheClitCommander530]

Rob on Elseworlds?! Man, let me tell you something!

[@JustSomeMexicanwithaMustache]

Well considering both titles were the best selling comics of last year, I would say yes. But let me give you a better idea of how good the new universes are. My sister has been getting some of the Ultimate and Absolute comics for me, as she lives closer to a comic book store compared to me, so she has been reading them before she comes and visits me. A few days ago she was reading Absolute Batman, and her roommate saw her reading it. She was curious about it, and so my sister let her read the issues she had. She liked it so much she decided to read Absolute Wonder Woman and Absolute Superman comics my sister had. Now my sister's roommate wants to go to the comic book store to buy the Absolute comics for herself and even pick up some of the Ultimate comics, as they are easy jumping on points for her. The new universes are such good jumping on points for new readers, people who weren't reading comics are taking interest in them.

[@Philosophical24]

Great video! ❤

[@liamhemstock2286]

Ive been reading trades for a few years but Ultimate Spider-Man is my first time I’ve gone “I’m buying this monthly and buying the trade afterwards” and it’s so fun and exciting. I was doing that with Ultimates as well but after I realised I didn’t pre order issue 5 I just never went back so I’m going to wait for the trade there. I need to read Absolute Wonder Woman still and I wasn’t sold on issue one of Absolute Superman but I’ve heard great things so I’ll be going back. I have been reading Absolute Batman (like everyone else it seems) and it’s been great. This is exactly what both Marvel and DC needed. I’d like to see an Absolute Nightwing, whatever that looks like and an Ultimate Daredevil written by JMD. I’m shocked we haven’t seen Daredevil yet even if isn’t Matt.

[@monstermanalex1313]

It was great to see Rob again. Catching up on my Comic Pop Returns videos.

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

I love the new Ultimate Marvel universe

[@Amuro1X]

I'm enjoying the Absolute and Ultimate universe lines. In general, I still prefer the Ultimate universe right now, especially since it's more established. I mirror Sal on the Absolute line, Batman is the best, Wonder Woman is good, and Superman I'm not super sold on just yet. The Ultimate line is just killing it. I love the four mainline books, and Ultimate Wolverine has a decent if safe start. Ultimate Spider-Man 13 had my jaw on the floor with some of the reveals. 6160 Ultimate Universe got me back into comics in a big way, and I even went out of my way to get Ultimate Invasion in trade and hunt down the Ultimate Universe free comic book day issue to get the full story. Peach Momoko's Ultimate X-Men is so radically different from everything else, I can't help but adore it. Ultimate Black Panther is just a solid book. Ultimates has had several top tier issues. The fact that it's all leading up to a return of The Maker makes it all feel like we're building to a huge event, and I can't wait to see what happens.

[@Seabass0930]

Sal and Rob gushing about comics brings me a special warmth in my soul.

[@oatmat]

Been waiting years for DC to do an Ultimate Universe, would have liked something less dark and edgy, but it helps me cope with what bendis and tom taylor did to Jon Kent, but Mark Waids' Worlds Finest, JLU and Batman and Robin Year One are amazing!!!!!!!

[@adamz8782]

We need this duo weekly!

[@mikhailmik4152]

Well this was a great surprise. Love it

[@zaaroncampbell2596]

Seeing these two together takes me back like 8yrs ago vibes...good times..good times

[@eqs1782]

ROB!!! Best Thursday this year so far.

[@MCLegoboy]

Don't let this be the last Elseworlds Exchange with Rob, pencil in some recording sessions because this was great.

[@unfezant11]

I want them to talk about power rangers prime (ultimate universe for power rangers), but i know they won't

[@jasonsw0rld]

Goated collab

[@jordanweigold1501]

Great episode, man love it when Rob is on the pod

[@oatmat]

I've been waiting YEARS for this!!!!! YEARS!!!!!!!!

[@lexofpower2822]

Yay!!!! Rob is back!!!! I’m so happy!!!!

[@nobodyexceptme7794]

This really brought a smile to my face guys thanks for this long live the original Three

[@crazyspoonwizard]

I have not picked up a comic since just before doomsday clock. Im tempted to get the ultimate's because reed doom, ultimate spider-man because spider-man and I did pick up ultimate wonder woman because hell warrior with big sword. Side note did anybody else know Alan Moore released a tome on magic like a giant book about spells and stuff.

[@Hulkzilla0]

Comic Pop Explained! Best crossover!

[@AKIOCainus]

I love the video. It’s genuinely great love seeing you too together. Goddamn does it pull on my heart strings a bit back to the weekly poll when everyone was there miss that.

[@DarkseidTheAlmighty]

Joshua Williamson’s Superman is dope. Anything with Doomsday automatically gets me hyped and I buy every issue. The Absolute universe is so good.

[@RushedAnimation]

Is that Hobbes, Kermit, and Homestar Runner?!

[@Hamzahasanlse]

The trinity

[@nobodyexceptme7794]

Oh man this is great for us day ones....can't wait to dive in. We need Joel back for one. The OG weekly pull back at least once ot twice a year just a check in like this! Thanks for making this happen guys. It's cool following u all individually but man those weekly get togethers just talking comics were so dope getting everyone's opinions at once on everything going on.

[@shadowanders]

20:26 as a guy born in 2004 the scene where Thomas died hit very hard. I’m an adult (ish) now but I can remember what it was like at that age to have to do shooting drills and the feeling at least in me as an older kid to protect my classmates was horrific now that I look back

[@Runge_was_here]

I had planned on sitting out the absolute runs, but I'm hearing so much good from so many people that have directed me to books I really enjoy. Probably gonna jump on the trades when they drop. Oh, It's also cool to see you guys together again 🍻

[@williamcobb2972]

Loved to see this in my feed!

[@dearlydemented19ify]

Oh man the nostalgia right here. Hope this isn't a one-off.

[@greybluegrey1406]

Yessss!Sal and Rob!

[@Aspooninthetrunk]

This is the content I come for. Two comic scholars yapping.

[@blankkosocal5030]

Dude...love! You guys are great

[@Wheresthebeef69]

More of this man please you and rob are comics KZbin this is worlds finest

[@TheNoddyone]

Stopped reading comics a lot after DC Death Metal but this convo got me looking forward to the collected editions of Absolute Superman. Good job advertising the books

[@Newarksfinest05]

I’ve been waiting for you guys to do a video for so long omg love u both!!!

[@Hayden_Hassan]

Yes! Love seeing you guys together! Hope ya'll are enjoying Ultimate Marvel and Absolute DC as much as I am!

[@endlessvoid00]

How could you NOT like East of West?! Art and story were both incredible imo

[@jamessmart3]

Love the rule pop up! Also this is great you both have good chemistry and respect for each other. Not all youtubers pulls this off but this is great. I'll appreciate it if you both could do this again if not, I still appreciate the video.

[@thespade3577]

The ultimate writer/Spiderman dynamic should be that the villains are trying to ruin Peter's perfect life and the writers are trying to get him out of that situation.

[@TheGreatDevlin]

So glad Rob gave a shout-out to Batman: The Imposter

[@SpiralSine6]

Holy shit has Rob’s voice gotten even deeper?? It’s been so long!

[@michaelb4403]

Yes! I’d love to see a new podcast with both you guys on it

[@AsgersWeb]

45:45 Wait what! When was this established lmfao. That's the funniest shit I've ever heard.

[@igeigeigeige]

Ohhhhh I missed you guys!!

[@Aztroboi17]

I power through the sandwich 😓 1:31

[@shadowanders]

53:23 I keep getting the feeling that May is going to be the one who dies. And with Richard being this world’s Black suit Spider-Man I fear that it might be his fault.

[@ryanheslin2459]

Did these two used to pod together? I was excited to hear because I love both of their work

[@Ka_Five]

Hell yeah, a surprise Sal & Rob video

[@Depthcharge2030]

Rob is going to have the time of his life when he reads the name of the character who wields the infinity gauntlet in the Ultimates issue.

[@alexgrossman8663]

5:24 Sal, that show exists unfortunately and it’s called Pennyworth lol

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

This is so nostalgic. Bring on more Joel too! And i absolutely get the burnout thing. Sometimes I'll take s month or two off and then dive back into stuff so that I feel refreshed and can reignite excitement. Same for gaming or podcast too

[@vidalruiziii1245]

Ayye rob lol when rob was talking Hickman and 4 issue minis i was waiting for the mention of a.v.a lol that being said I don't know if rob is a fan of the alien universe? Movies? Stories? I don't want to call it a franchise it's seems to diminish it and kinda makes my stomach churn

[@hotfuzzy153]

I wonder if zatanna and bruce are still friends in the absolute universe, and if so, what is she up to

[@husseinrose4883]

Ive fallen off of ultimate x-men and black panther, the only thing keeping me on spider-man is that its spider-man. Ultimates is big standout amongst the ultimate books.

[@EmptyBuddha92]

YAY I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.

[@GreenGoblet22]

I MISS THE WEEKLY PULL ❤️❤️❤️

[@Meeso616]

Fills a hole that’s been missing lately ❤

[@PharaohDom]

If I recall, Forge created the orb with magic and science.

[@Hamzahasanlse]

1:10:56 Xaviers Secret dropped today. Half of it was good theother half was meh

[@AnarchicArachnid]

41:15 with how much that came out of his X-men having to detour or alter due to him not being able to use Namor or Franklin like he wanted to, he probably realized that spider-man in main marvel was going to be that but worse since it's JUST peter parker he has to play off not the hundreds of mutants.

[@dennisflood7246]

Excellent video.

[@lincolnrichie7684]

When’s the podcast?!

[@gamemasterbob9]

New sal and Rob episode!
