[@theweeze1922]

My whole addiction to comics started with Mr. Starlin

[@anthonybranch4712]

My addiction to comics didn't start with Jim Starlin, but early in the process, he sure propelled it into Nitro-fueled OVERDRIVE with Captain Marvel #25 - 33!

[@gqd1975]

Jim Starlin's run on Batman needs an omnibus. Death in the family, ten nights of the beast. So many great stories.

[@purplerain225]

Don't forget about The Cult either

[@eagleal]

I love all of Jim's work, the man has never done a bad comic in his entire life

[@wildmanz8233]

I love this dude's cosmic- oriented comics!

[@Conner0K]

An absolute legend, I met him once and he was very nice to me. I really need to read more of his work!

[@gameguy1337]

Jim Starlins take on Thanos and the infinity stuff is the definitive Thanos for me.

[@wolfgangkrauser9735]

His Infinity trilogy from the 90s is amazing.

[@Rodimusprimerib]

One of the great comic creators of our time! Loved this interview thanks Omar!!

[@hamzadawud]

Okay, so we were right about the pronunciation of "Thanos". I was sure the movies pronounced it the same way tho, so now I'm confused. 😂

[@CarlosDias-er6dd]

My thoughts exactly 🤔

[@LarrysLibrary]

I believe Omar always used to (and often still does) pronounce it incorrectly as I always did 'THAY-NOSE'.....the movies taught us that it is actually 'THAN- OSE'"....Starlin agrees with the films....so in the interview Omar pretends that he does too! But at the beginning of the video he says "THAY-NOSE"!

[@CarlosDias-er6dd]

@@LarrysLibrary I thought it was something like that! 🤣

[@hamzadawud]

@@LarrysLibrary Lol, thank you!

[@UnknownVisitorxx13]

I read infiniti gauntlet omni for the first time a couple years ago and it blew my mind. This dude is elite level.

[@Maddy-kb2co]

They dnt write them like tat anymore

[@robd1329]

Im reading for the first time Thanos omnibus...pre-Infinity gauntlet. Its awesome and love the bronze age art! Jim Starlin is up there with Neil Adams.

[@henryjaremek2644]

Starlin probably best know for his stories , .. BUT .. Under Rated as an Artist . I Always liked his Art .

[@purplerain225]

Starlin is still humble. Great person to meet still have plenty of work to enjoy. Batman The Cult and his Batman run were amazing. Learning how he came up with Thanos and his cosmic world building just makes me smile. I hope I get another chance to meet him again definitely a legend here folks

[@Krypton_Ken]

What a legend, as great a writer as he is an artist. Every fan has a favorite work of his, Infinity Gauntlet probably topping the list, but mine is Cosmic Odyssey by him and Mike Mignola. I was absolutely enthralled by that mini as a kid. Infinity Gauntlet and the lead-up comics are my second favorite Starlin work, especially the Thanos Quest two-parter. Batman: The Cult by Jim Starlin & Bernie Wrightson is also an often forgotten gem. Not to mention the rest of his Batman run, that original KGBeast story with him and Aparo is great. Another awesome interview, Omar! Thanks so much for doing these.

[@wilburke5793]

The stuff about IW having that opening where he takes out the Nova Corps is so cool I hope they drop that eventually

[@fishin4bass2002]

I was skimming through his Mongul stories and was surprised how good they really were.

[@braviafeed]

Jim is in my top ten creators of all time.

[@iwatommy9139]

Cap

[@PurifyWithLight]

Oh snap! An interview with Omar, Jim Starlin just hit the big league!

[@ebilliot510]

One of my all time favorite artist and storyteller, I've supported both of his Kickstarter projects.

[@ginoames]

I love his Dreadstar series. Awesome stuff.

[@sergioruiz733]

Man this was a great interview. Jim Starlin started my love for Marvel Cosmic and comics in general. Great stuff!

[@arthurwoo6082]

Big Starlin fan and so happy for all of his success. His version of Batman is one of my favorites (Ten Nights of the Beast) and nobody does cosmic like he does. Thanks for sharing interview and promoting Dreadstar will need to check it out.

[@MrTex-qy2mn]

What a kind and laid back gentleman. Geoff John's had to have been inspired by his work for his Green Lantern run.

[@evanherland504]

I can’t wait for more dreadstar!!!

[@Throgmoyd]

Very few people get to write as many fantastic stories and create as many enduring characters as Mr. Starlin. Even fewer get to also draw them superbly.

[@williamjackson6705]

Wonderful interview. Wished it was longer. I would have loved to hear about his novel, Thinning The Predators. That would have made a great movie. Glad to hear his drawing hand has healed.

[@reboandzooty]

One of the all time greats.

[@cannafarmer]

To be Omar.....living the dream

[@LarrysLibrary]

got that right

[@txmoney]

The original, the first Marvel graphic novel, The Death of Captain Marvel, is one of the most treasured, most impactful comics I’ve ever read.

[@just23bulls]

A legend!!

[@nozkaian]

It is wonderful to see, the two of you converse. I just finished the first Shang-chi omnibus, and I really enjoyed it, but wondered what if he stayed with the character a bit longer.

[@Higgypop53]

Very good interview

[@sand4273]

Just imagine how many people got into comics because of the movies so they picked up an Infinity Gauntlet or Batman trade or something. Mr. Starlin’s work was probably the first comic book experience for many!

[@guillermomaldonado6277]

Great, man! Thanks 🍺🍺👍

[@21roy_]

Oh that's so cool!

[@stephentheshywarrior2759]

Dunno if you know Omar. But CBR, Screen rant and multiple other websites have done articles about your interview. You are becoming more famous my man.😄

[@NearMintCondition]

I had no idea. But thank you so much.

[@StegoKing]

I met him at Terrificon. Nice guy!

[@terrencecoccoli524]

The Legend! Love this guys work.

[@LarrysLibrary]

HUGE fan of the man!

[@thepartworkscomicsreader9488]

Love Starlin but do need to be in the right mood for his stuff. I've read Death of the New Gods and the Crisis either side but haven't picked up Countdown yet and kind of felt like I was missing some of what was going on in that one. Shame to hear things don't line up exactly but will still give that one a reread when I pick up the Countdown trades, held off on those for ages assuming Eaglemoss would do those as subscriber OHCs after they did 52, that never planned out.

[@comicswatching4851]

🙌🏻

[@Higgypop53]

STARLIN ROCKS!!great vid.Higgypopcomics

[@yoboyjosh2866]

Still got two of my comics 2and3 still in plastic never opened 🤦🏻‍♂️🤭

[@badger_stump]

Well done Omar! If I was sat with Jim Starlin I would have just mumbled and dribbled from various parts of my body all at the same time. Admittedly pretty but not suitable for broadcast.🥴🤠

[@jellybryce7742]

great interview. glad you go to talk to him!
