Starlight: The Return of Duke McQueen (2014) - Comic Story Explained

[@ringypingy]

Don’t know if anyone tells you this often but the music choices are just immaculate no matter what.

[@timdixon3391]

I came here to tell him how much the music adds to the story

[@ringypingy]

@@timdixon3391 this one was really good. I don’t know how to describe it but yeah felt like I was in a sci-fi movie myself lol

[@brodybarnhill7097]

Solid music choices stood out to me on this one too. Danny always kills it but the cool futuristic synth sounding stuff on this one really got me into the sci-fi feel of this comic

[@Shaddowkhan]

I tell him this very often.

[@partofthetribe3277]

Yes agree!

[@amandusvonborstel7515]

Pound for pound youre the best comic story teller in the game i love the energy and enthusiasm in your voice its like listening to your buddy at the comic shop telling you about his favorite book he picked up last week. Its so fun seeing what you do each week. Appreciate all you do 🙌

[@theanonymousterryhall5419]

Really? Comicstorian's voices are fire and their are other channels that sound like audiobooks with sound effects and voiceovers. I just found Danny but like him for the comics he chooses.

[@chriscomp20]

Comicstorian is... alot and over the top

[@giovanniricci2869]

There are various talents one may have, you have narration. Awesome, thanks 🙏👍

[@jonathansoko1085]

I was cleaning last night and shoved under my dresser was this series, i totally forgot how good it was. It was under there for probably 5 years, yes i clean often but it was in a odd spot lol. If im not mistaken, he had the movie rights sold for this before the first issue came out, but i may be thinking of Chrononauts which is also one of his best

[@FirstNameLastName-rn7mp]

It's nice seeing a story for once without a bitter-sweet ending

[@danielmyers1255]

This story is lovely Duke reminds me of Gandpa Max

[@victorkaranja1420]

holy cow yeah actually

[@richblacklove]

Danny loving the channel

[@lukaszrower7612]

The story is beautiful. It shows how an old hero can come back to greatness.

[@CEDIZZY617]

Danny malt is always ahead of his time and constantly underated.he needs more of our support.im pretty sure he would appreciate us for it!!!!!keep it goin bro and don't change!!!!

By 2012 there has been a distinct change in millers style. Before he tried to he more like Garth Ennis with the higher level of edge, but by 2012 his style shifted to be more like Rob Kirkmans, realistic but very genuine. Jupiter's legacy was the prime recipient of this writing change, which is why I will never stop being pissed that the show got canceled

[@chipflavoredtoes6412]

Honestly considering the fact that Millar's more wholesome works flow so naturally, it's kind of impressive that his edgy stuff is as "good" as it is.

[@dannymalt]

For those of you that dig the 1980s Space Sci-Fi Synth Pop Music I used in this video. They are all by this artist named Rijko, you can listen to them here: www.epidemicsound.com/release/shared-space/ I think Code Red which I used at 15:15 is my fav. But they are all good.

[@ericstewart4577]

I love the Blue eyed girl theme , it's TRIUMPHANT

[@vernonhampton5863]

[@frocurl]

What great music narration and how passionate you are. Thanks to you I have discovered these comics and graphic novels. Awesome! I love starlight! So freaking awesome! 10/10

[@kingsrefuge]

What a great palette cleanser to get Nemesis out of all our minds forever.

[@vernonhampton5863]

Stephen Lang needs to star in the adaptation of this comic. He's the lion in winter we need right now.

[@chloe59k]

This has been my favorite of millar books. Simple story just told right perfect pacing that makes u not want to put it down

[@JFDavis-lq1bp]

Another great Sunday morning, thanks to Dannymalt. Thank you so much for your hard work.

[@Tito_Viera]

A new Danny's video is like a ice-cold beer in a sunny day

[@drknow500]

good stuff bro, keep up the good work, take a break once in a while, to prevent burn out... :-)

[@andrewboyd9336]

After a week of work I look forward to Sunday much appreciation 💯👑

[@dwagonswayer.4835]

I’ve been looking for this comic. Thank you.

[@metatronblack]

One of the Best stories I seen in a long time. Duke McQueen is a great character.

[@hellokintu]

Would be a cool movie for a streaming service. Nice work on the narration as well.

[@kinginthefort3928]

This one was awesome and the ending so wholesome very much like John carter and those old sci-fi movies of the 70s like Flash Gordon very retro heroics

[@blubastud]

Rob also found a way to put a pouch on Duke, lol. That guy loves his pouches.

[@bobbyleopard5837]

THANKS DANNY!!!

[@RawB242]

Great story i give it a 9.5 out of 10 !!! Sn: i think its funny how Danny gives Duke Mcqueen... the Saint of Killers AND Jeperd almost the same voice lol epic

[@jubeiluckthegamer8838]

Loved this one almost teared up at the end!

[@MrReckless1978]

So glad I found this channel, comics explained only covers Marvel and Comicstorian is mainly Marvel with a little DC mixed in but I hate both of the big 2

[@Shaddowkhan]

Great Job as always Danny.

[@feroxseneca8997]

The music makes me miss your great “Invincible” run.😭

[@randyhx]

As always, great video. Keep up the great work.

Serious Flash Gordon vibes. Great vid and content :)

[@klydejohnson7520]

Defiantly my favorite mark millar book💯🖤❤️‍🔥

[@leoj3471]

Love your channel bro! I do hope you keep it up and keep it going. I literally look forward to it every Sunday and I really enjoyed this one!

[@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118]

I thought this was a fun and satisfying story. The music and story telling was also awesome. Better than watching a movie sometimes.

[@richardbrummett317]

Have you considered covering any of Jonathan Hickman’s books? He’s gotta be one of the best at world building and his works would be perfect for your long form style since you really need to follow the entire trade/volume start to finish in order to truly appreciate his mastery.

[@dannymalt]

I really liked his Fantastic Four run. But I haven’t enjoyed a lot of his other stuff. But there are a few series of his I still need to try out.

[@richardbrummett317]

@@dannymalt Oh nice! I just saw that you responded my bad lol. His marvel runs were pretty awesome from Fantastic 4 to Avengers/New Avengers but his indie works are some of my favorites. I’m sure you’re familiar but I think East of West or Manhattan Projects would be right up your channels alley. I think it’s cool when you cover various works of a particular writer so we can get a true feel for their style. Regardless of what you cover I’m sure to enjoy it. Keep up the good work my dude.

[@partofthetribe3277]

This was amazing!!!!

[@whatitdo5966]

What a great story!!!

[@nigelboakye1492]

My weekly dose of happiness

[@k_and_m8745]

I like your narrative.👍

[@randombsgo4367]

I thought it was the castle with no doors cause there are just holes, as in entrances where doors would go normally

[@lunchbox962]

I just came by to thanks for what u do.

[@theanonymousterryhall5419]

@Dannymalt you ever thought of experimenting with sound effects?

[@dannymalt]

I’ve dabbled with it. Some people said they find it distracting tho, so I’m not sure. Check out my Criminal Volume 1 video, I put some police sirens and gun fire noises and other stuff in there.

[@theanonymousterryhall5419]

@@dannymalt After you get done narrating chapter 6 to me

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

It was a great story!!! It seams like it would be an amazing movie and i think he has done enough for a great movie to be made out of it if the write team is put together to add and thicken the character development and a few other key elements. but the elements are there because it would clearly be a great movie.

[@mrbulldobbs1553]

I really enjoyed this.

[@victorkaranja1420]

love the homage to moebius and that age of sci-fi with this

[@Kill2Hard101]

John Carter fans will dig this.

[@sjbrooksy45]

Waaaaiit a minute... when did Liefeld start drawing feat?

[@Endname343]

Pink hair Sangoku I love it 🤩

[@himanshugautam3224]

The video is great man. can you do everything leading to Secret Wars from Marvel.

[@theanonymousterryhall5419]

Yooooo.... my man hopped out the spaceship and IMMEDIATETLY got it popping. Multiple counts of murder in broad day in the public square within 5 minutes of landing. You can't tell me seeing that statue of himself didn't go to his head

[@shotbyjay9011]

Lmaoo he pointed to his status and started airing it out

[@emperorg9910]

A good heart warming comic no edge lording, nice.

[@levaithan325]

Hey...Um... is that a reference to Darth Vader's glove? Is that why it has telekinetic abilities?

[@carlosvelasquez5748]

This comic is so badass

[@rouenrobinson]

Rob Liefeld able to draw feet in the right proportion now lol

[@MelkMan7]

Hi Danny, will you be covering Irredeemable at some point? It's a great "what if Superman went postal" storyline.

[@dannymalt]

Yes one day I want to. I’ve read it, it’s good.

[@partofthetribe3277]

What is with the Kingfisher moniker? That's a villain name in a lot of stuff. Something to that.

[@salemdxb1990]

I just noticed that King Fisher's soldiers look like Grendizer. Maybe Mark Miller was inspired by the story of Duke Fleet and the planet Vega.

[@scottiestorch852]

The plot kinda reminds me of John Carter. Love it!

[@irvingramirez2335]

It’s finally here !!!!!!

[@blakmajik1377]

Ok definitely my favorite one

[@clayjoseph8]

The Dude Fisher was saying he has no doors meaning where the doors would be there is no door .just a walkway..not like the place is sealed with no way in or out..just no need for doors..you can just walk around and anywhere is available because you have no doors or locks to keep you out.

[@trillination]

Nobody gonna question how earth stuff gets to that planet When earth is supposed to be obvious to their existence.

[@CactusJackIV]

Gotta watch out for those Bros.

[@otaha1988]

Not to forget Rob also likes to draw his characters with no pupils in their eyes.

[@jackieanderson9408]

Sweet 👍

[@AntiLifeEquation1]

Guess Mark Millar played Mass Effect 2 with the ptobing Uranus joke.

[@christian-mx7ml]

danny, i believe you might be confused on the meaning of the castle with no doors. there are doorways there but the kingfisher is so comfortable thinking that there is no one that can get him he didn't bother putting actual doors on them. also i want to point out how cool Duke McQueen's name is. it's a mash up of two very iconic hollywood actors. John Wayne and Steve McQueen = Duke McQueen. i bet if they said DMcQ's middle name it would be James or Dean. Duke Dean McQueen has a nice ring to it.

[@chipmunkspodcast2986]

Saga is back in 2022, good time to make a video on the first volumes👍

[@dannymalt]

I think I will be starting on it soon.

[@ashikmd.rashid6284]

Check out Empress. It's a hidden Mark Millar gem.

[@dannymalt]

When I return to covering Millar I think I’ll do that one.

[@iamjustsham1066]

I enjoy it.....it was wholesome

[@kashon91]

Damn that was good.

[@sarimsarhan3937]

Next one is REBORN right?

[@leersay]

Has Millar had the most work adapted to some live action? It certainly feels like it

[@Obi-JuanCannoli]

something tells me you're a big fan of Mark Millar

[@goofyletsplays7635]

mans is goated

[@jonnycrypto6520]

great story, sad story. i hope his life was good lol

[@edwardribeiro]

Watching Danny Malt's videos about Mark Miller's works I was able to put into words something that annoys me the most in Miller's comics, even more than the swear words or edgy situations, or casual racism. It's his portrait of Genius villains/heroes. People that got two Phds by the age of 8, and became self made billionaires by the age of 11 or that have detailed plans tied to specific people and situations setup 10 years in advance. C'mon, there's no suspension of disbelief on the world to deal witn that.

[@joebryan2135]

believing is what he is portraying as essential for us all...good guy wins in the end.....like american exceptionalism which i bet is what you really are bitching about right?

[@edwardribeiro]

@@joebryan2135 Did you see the Nemesis final plot twist? That plot twist is ridiculous and nonsense. That's what I am talking about.

[@marcustaylor260]

At a guess the castle has door ways but no doors?!!

[@marcustaylor260]

Except the door Duke was kicked through???

[@roberthoward5015]

From what king fisher said I believe he has doorways just no doors in them

[@RecountDaFox1]

Nemesis wasn't THAT bad. It was pretty fun and enjoyable lol.

[@vernonhampton5863]

If you enjoyed it, cool. But to me, I was done with the "I booby trapped your daughter's uterus" thing.

[@cultdefi]

uhmm it's sunday sir?? no new vid?

[@dannymalt]

Posted on my KZbin community page or whatever it’s called. I needed more time to work on the most recent video. I will be back next Sunday. My videos are long, really hard to do one a week sometimes.

[@cultdefi]

@@dannymalt Sadness, it's part of my routine now. Thank you for the entertainment, it's much appreciated.

[@kreiyu]

Did he have that laser gun the whole time? It looked like he had it in the disply case with his suit. How did no one believe him when he had an actual piece of alien technology?

[@novelenterprise]

This felt like a sequel to john carter of mars

[@Vashthedevious]

I think George Clooney would be a good actor for this role. He has that old superhero look to him

[@gokuraku387]

Doesn’t make sense for people not to believe him, shouldn’t he have come back with a space ship, costumes, medals and other space stuff?

[@ghaspar]

And a working "ray gun"

[@mttylerdurden9]

Only proof he had was his suit and a medal. But he explained that because they were made of materials that earth had as well, everyone thought they were props.

[@paramahansastudio1682]

[@IftiAlam1999]

This would've been an average, campy 90s Sci Fi movie starring, probably Arnold.

[@dannymalt]

The dream casting would be Clint Eastwood 20 or so years ago.

[@jondoe1444]

john carter of mars??

[@trillination]

If they did Nemisis it should be done in the same style of sin city

[@oreliendaniel1886]

👏

Clint Eastwood from 20 yrs ago would have been perfect as Duke McQueen.

Definitely, It would have been so epic. Clint Eastwood in a Space Western.
