Highly Anticipated Absolute Superman Has Arrived! However Is It Worthy?

[@YTLawnGnome]

JSA #1 was my top pick of the week. Such a fun book and a real tribute to JSA past and present.

[@gregmarshall2513]

The artwork in absolute Superman is awesome! I like your enthusiasm, keep up the good work.😊

[@sebastianstark8517]

"JSA" sounds the most promising to me among this group of books. Thanks for the run-down once again, Slayer! Always enjoy this topic of videos that you put up.

[@ComicBookCorner2.0]

You might be right JSA has a good writer behind it Jeff Lemire is one of my favorites.

[@Gorrgrim]

DC has been killing it recently

[@ComicBookCorner2.0]

I agree their books have been much better quality in the past couple months

[@allisknu11]

I like the new Batgirl comic book. I grade it a B. It has potential. I think people have high expectations for it to be as great as the older Batgirl Cass Cain books. As for SiKtC, it just didn't do it for me. I grade it a C+. All it did was make me want to re-read the current SiKtC run and that's what I did last night. It will probably improve as it goes and I am itching to know more about Erica and her origin.

[@dudejrryan]

I got the Artgerm cover. It looks amazing. Still waiting on it to come in the mail

[@GraphicNovelCollector]

Loved Green Arrow and Absolute Superman love the recontextualzation of Kal El’s childhood. Stoked for more Absolute Superman!

[@ComicBookCorner2.0]

Yeah I am too I felt like it gave the character a little bit more depth

[@misternegative4918]

I really liked the new Batgirl, I haven’t read much of the character, but I actually liked it a little bit more than Absolute Superman, which also thought was really good.

[@ComicBookCorner2.0]

That's pretty awesome I'm glad you enjoyed it For me just didn't hit me like absolute Superman did.

[@dominicdavidson300]

Really excited to read SIKTC #0 as long time read of that series and the art for Superman looks the best of the three based on the previews. Picking up this week comics at my lcs later on in the week. Awesome video as well🎉

[@ComicBookCorner2.0]

Something is killing a children for me is always a fun read Look forward to it every month I love the Erica slaughter character and Superman is pretty awesome I think you'll enjoy it

[@Moyeeshen2304]

I think Absolute Superman will read better on trades, but I love Superman so I guess I'll still pull it.

[@KDine0might]

I really enjoyed Superman, not for everyone but definitely works for me 👍

[@ComicBookCorner2.0]

Glad you enjoyed it I could see it not being for everybody

[@DSCCORNER34]

Hey Mike what are your thoughts on something is killing the children? I am on the fence of getting it?

[@ComicBookCorner2.0]

I think it's a great series. I love Erica Slaughter who is the main character in the comic book.

[@DSCCORNER34]

@ awesome is it more of like a mystery or thriller I know you said there isn’t a lot of action in it

[@Rkennedy44]

I really enjoyed Absolute Superman I just hope it stays an enclosed book because I’m not reading any other Absolute or All In titles

[@ComicBookCorner2.0]

I guess time will tell but for right now just enjoy what you have

[@Dawgbrother]

Mike, are you planning to make a video on your comic sale?

[@ComicBookCorner2.0]

I'm not sure I've done it once before and it came out really good but I want to really focus on the people that attend the sale.

[@londonmay7890]

Going to give the new Batgirl through issue #5. Not super into the character but I’ll give it a go.

[@Kevin.kevin_kevin]

It's gonna be a six issue mini, no?

[@londonmay7890]

@ well I don’t know. I thought it was going to be based on well it did/fan reaction. If it’s only 6 I’ll give it a full run then. Be a nice addition to the collection.

[@Kevin.kevin_kevin]

Little Batman month one was a better read that absolute superman ಠ⁠‿⁠ಠ

[@lincolnosiris222]

problem with jason aaron is he seems have hard to getting a story going ( batman offworld ) if he can keep a good pace it could be alright.

[@precodepalace]

I've never tried a superman book before and enjoyed absolute superman.

[@ComicBookCorner2.0]

Glad you enjoyed this Superman Hopefully it will be around for a while.

[@feridradoncic2237]

Hey buddy 😂❤❤

[@JeffGScharer]

Did you get Negasonic Teenage Warhead #1?

[@ComicBookCorner2.0]

No. There was was no way I was going to pick that book up LOL

[@DevilDogComics]

A lot of these hero books are just the same regurgitated crap over and over again for 5-6$ a book just to end up in 1 dollar bins I’m good lol

[@LordBallSac]

People are just trying to get a tv movie deal. The comic is the script that is in a lottery of its own with the artists writers and publishers. We, the buyer, speculate. At least some of us and try to get rich £££. Why else are they writing these stories, to teach us something? New. We're not going to many more jumps in evolution, and these will be staggered out far in art genre or new ideas etc. Hope I think plays a big factor in a lot of this buying. But I love the art yes

[@DevilDogComics]

@@LordBallSac spec buyers crack me up.

[@LordBallSac]

@DevilDogComics I wish it wasn't always as so bro. But some of us don't have the smarts to play our way out of this game. And isint that what everyone wants. Safety and happiness? Everything I almost done for reward anyways. I wonder just how many so called purist there really can be out there without infulance

[@superfunforce8052]

@@LordBallSac comic books are aren't comic books anymore, they're trying WAY TOO HARD to be storyboards for future movies

[@LordBallSac]

@superfunforce8052 Right it's a less traditional way to the riches of Hollywood. No formal script writing tv media and movies degree needed. Just something that reacts. Very simply for executives in time sensitive positions to cram and skim over. Point is nothing wrong with gambling on this if your a bit poor. The art won't last the test of time and be it you buy a Picasso or absolute joker your still doing so with some financial incentive big or small because that's just the world we live in

[@boardtom4807]

Anyone know how many Absolute Batman #1 covers there are? Including 1st,2nd,3rd prints plus all the store variants I have 18 so far 😭 I’m guessing around 30

[@PhantomBugler]

Key Collector app says there are 40. That includes 1: 25/50/100 variants and NYCC exclusive covers.

[@boardtom4807]

@ thank you Just heard 43 variants ouch 💸💸💸

[@CollinMunya]

FML felt like Kelly wanted to give us an updated version of Stand By Me but forgot that that movie was good because it had heart and camaraderie This felt forced and comes out phoney

[@ComicBookCorner2.0]

Yeah it definitely felt forced I felt like when you have relationships in the comic book they need to build and it just felt forced in the very first this year especially some other topics that went on in the book as well

[@kratosopp]

I liked the new batgirl that grade was a little low that you gave it I would’ve gave it a solid B+. The story was good. It wasn’t great but it was good so I’m looking forward to the second issue and actually Superman was awesome. I gave that one a Solid A

[@ComicBookCorner2.0]

I'm glad you enjoyed Batgirl, it's good to see a difference in opinion on that one. It just didn't hit me like Superman or something is Killing the children

[@kratosopp]

@ give batgirl another chance

[@feridradoncic2237]

I saw the new SML movie called president Brooklyn guy ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂 ❤❤❤

[@T-M-N-T]

Absolute Superman #1 is good Something is Killing the Children #0 is great Batgirl #1 is really good The Ultimates #6 is phenomenal Cruel Universe #4 is boring

[@ComicBookCorner2.0]

Glad you enjoyed all those books except Cruel Universe 😀

[@BigMoneyGripMCV]

eh, it would have been so much more of an impact if The Man of Steel movie never existed. It was fine... it was ok. not quite as good as WW and nowhere near as great as Batman

[@ComicBookCorner2.0]

Sorry you didn't like it as much as I did Hopefully it will improve for you as time goes along

[@BigMoneyGripMCV]

@@ComicBookCorner2.0 If the Man of Steel weren't a movie, the book would have been as good as Batman was. But then again i could see someone saying that about Absolute Batman and Dark Knight Returns... same comparison.

[@kenlschneider]

Absolute Superman, meh!

[@ComicBookCorner2.0]

So sorry you didn't like it Ken

[@kenlschneider]

@@ComicBookCorner2.0 so far it’s just Absolute Batman for me

[@the_kilted_fett156]

JSA was great! And no... we have no real clue what's going on. We're picking up in the middle of the story. Nothing from the Johns run or Absolute Power leads into this.
