Superman never felt American exclusive to me. He just felt human. He grew up in America, but he wasn't steeped in it's culture, he was steeped in a simple farm life, which is something universal to us. So, while he "is" American, he belongs to the world.

[@erebos7539]

Yeah as a non-american who loves Superman I am kind of biased but, I always felt there's a mythology to his character that spans cultural boundaries. He's certainly an American creation but, like all great stories - his character is something anyone can identify with.

[@InoMercy]

Technically he isn't American anymore. A while ago he actually renounced his American citizenship so he could better serve the world.

[@liverusrock6789]

Ross did a cover tribute to Action Comics #1 and looks really nice. That said, It would have been really nice to have 5 page story by Morrison and Ross/Quitely.

[@TevyaSmolka]

yup

[@magicmuellmann8209]

Can Jawiin join permanently pls?

[@ItsMichaelReid]

Magic Muellmann I hope so I love this Trinity

[@magicmuellmann8209]

didnt even think of that, nice one

[@DefactoOverlord]

Yes! More Jason! I was so sad when he left DC All Access.

[@milosradmilac5396]

I think it’s in the works xD It’s a bonus for everyone!

[@kaiwilliams141]

Jerry Ordway had a story with Louise simonson. But it is a crime that Frank Quitely doesnt have a pin up or story in the issue.

[@redx-man8813]

Artist I wanna see on Detective Comics #1000: George Freeman, Mike Mignola, Greg Capullo, Jim Lee, Tim Sale, Olivier Copiel, David Finch, Jock, Andy Kubert, Gary Frank, Brian Bolland, Alex Ross, Sean Murphy

[@redx-man8813]

For Writers: Frank Miller, Scott Snyder, Jason Aaron, Brian Michael Bendis, Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Ed Brubaker, Gail Simone, Brian K Vaughn, Paul Dini, Brad Meltzer, Bruce Timm, Jonathan Hickman, Chuck Dixon, Alan Burnett, Saladin Ahmed, Gerard Way

[@redx-man8813]

Writers I don't wanna See: James Tynion, Tim Seeley, Kyle Higgins and Steve Orlando(liked 50% of his work, but recently all of its been bad)

[@ItsMichaelReid]

RedX-Man88 I would add Denny O'Neil in that pile

[@soberhippy8240]

Throw in neal adams too

[@galvatronus1139]

My favorite Superman story has got to be "For the Man Who Has Everything". One of my all-time favorite Justice League episodes, loved the comic too. That part when he has to tell his dream son he doesn't think he's real, and then his rage at Mongul when he wakes up just always struck me, and I love it.

[@radentruman7535]

I love the comic but the cartoon adaptation at least to me feels like superman gets upstaged by wonder woman and I find the comic perfectly balanced having a bad ass wonder women fight but having Jason finish the fight gives everyone shine without upstaging the main character

[@redx-man8813]

My favorite Stories were: Scott Snyder's, Geoff Johns, Peter J Tomasi's, then Tom King and Brad Meltzer's, and Dan Jurgens, Louise Simonson's and Paul Dini's are a lotta fun

[@loganliveslyfe7]

A year later..... Frank Miller didn't do Detective Comics #1000 like we all thought

[@CoraValentine1999]

Geoff Johns wrote a whole story about George moving the car?

[@Herosmurf]

I loved what Jason said near the end "We always hear the phrase that power corrupts... and it doesn't corrupt Superman." And for the Detective 1000 covers I'd love Dustin Nguyen as he's my favourite Batman artist.

[@prettyvillainous9505]

I haven't finished the video but, I just want to say, if Jon's ignored I'll stop reading Superman and then I'll stop reading AC just to spite Bendis. Clark being a father is so obvious it blows my mind that it took almost 80 years to do it and the whole thing was so well handled. This is the kind of situation where I support editorial stepping in and saying "no, man, this is a big deal, you have to have moments with them."

[@MrAlvaroferreyra]

Sal mention Argentina in the show. I’m from Argentina. My year is made 😁 and i agree, Superman is for everybody. Love you comicpop!

[@zainhartono7193]

I actually liked the new 52 H’el on Earth story line. Kara played a huge role in that one, the few times we see the Superman family crossover like that...I miss Conner Kent.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

*blushes*

[@MrMike11233]

I'm sure you already know this, but adding Jason only enhances the quality of this show. For what it's worth, I'm subbed to all three of your individual channels.

[@ddaug3149]

Even if Alan Moore did come back. DC would have to send out a search party to find him

[@badnewsbear2355]

you guys are awesome, thank you for paying respect to Superman

[@christopherjohnson8876]

I hope Kelly Jones comes back for Detective Comics 1000.

[@mitchaxness2305]

Will Detective Comics 1000 focus all on Batman, though? He didn't show up until issue 27.

[@metalgear5881]

Mitch Axness they should have a story that focuses on just the first 26 issues.

[@idongesitusen5764]

I know DC's not going to do this, but I say Wonder Woman's Sensation Comics needs to return; not only to show cultural impact, but to give Diana's cast some exposure to readers.

[@razorstarproductions5168]

Please I really wanted Chuck Dixon too be on Detective comics 1000 but that didn’t happen

[@JackSass840]

according to google lol the shadow came out in 1930, aka B4 super man did so I feel like we'd have the shadow instead of batman and more captain america-esk characters without the big blue boyscout. Also can Jawin sit in on back issues for thor god butcher pretty pretty pleeeeeease lol #oneday #icandream LOL

[@GhostPro29]

I think Superman is hero for the world also action comics 1000 is 4 years old? i remember buying it so vividly

[@berserkwoz]

I don't think to bring back the trunks to Superman was a good chose and to have Bendis to write someone like Superman, in my opinion, they should have him write one the new dc metal superhero .

[@bibby201]

So like I know it's not a great fit because you tend to do more bad comics then good but would you ever do Jupiter jet on backissues?

[@KobytheHero]

I don't know that we would have gotten Batman without Superman. It is pretty evident that they wanted another Superman in the original designs. Maybe there's some history I'm unaware of but barring that I don't see it.

[@bonniebeck2617]

You guys are great but I do admit I've been watching more bcuz jasons been a regular. Keep the Trinity alive on here!

[@TheRicardo1280]

Picked up the 80's variant of Action 1000. Alex Ross for Detective 1000 for sure.

[@dlvnmedia]

Someday I am going to buy an original art page of Rogal Zar to get signed by Sal.....someday

[@GhostOrochi]

i'd like to get my hands on the superman comic that has an alt version of superman in the revolutionary war winning it for the british. my dad said he had it at one point but lost it but i'd like very much to read it however they are soo hard to come by and i can''t find it anywhere on youtube on the red son comic.

[@bbthumb43]

Please tell me why the fuck didnt alex ross draw the kingdom come one page

[@comicsmisexplained]

*the boys are back in town*

[@Yungtacosss]

Maybe John Byrne is in the deluxe edition of Action Comics 1000??

[@DrLynch2009]

No. They even diss him by calling his run "the dark age".

[@DrLynch2009]

It's not that they "don't remember" John Byrne, is that they dislike his run. DC today is managed by a group of 50+ years old men, mostly silver age nostalgia fanboys like Dan Didio, who have been trying for the last 16 years to erase anything Byrne contributed to the character. George Perez was not in the book becouse he can't draw this days as a result that he lost sight in his left eye. WTF Jawiin?! Jerry Ordways was in the book, he did the art for Louise Simonson story. I know, it is amazing how modern his style look this days but come on man.

[@mreriksson]

What would comics be like without Superman? Why that's exactly what Alan Moore's America's Best Comics was about. Without Superman you get Tom Strong, one of the most underrated heroes of the Modern Age.

[@TevyaSmolka]

This was great and I am worried about bendis taking over Superman especially whats he’s going to do jon aka superboy

[@Farmeryeti]

Favourite AC#1000 variant was probably Michael Cho's 40s variant. I grew up watching the Fleischer cartoons on VHS and it's how I was introduced to Superman, so I always enjoy seeing that style. As for DC#1000, I'm not hugely knowledgable on Batman artists, but I'd love to see one with the blue and grey, yellow oval batsuit. Maybe by a Kubert.

[@32SamMoore]

So will they renumber Action Comics after this or will they continue on as AC #1001?

[@davidanato5701]

Sam Moore Action Comics will continue onwards to 1001, only Superman is being relaunched.

[@ianmason6867]

Jerry Ordway did Simonson's art on her story. I wish they could have worked in Art Thibert, a great artist in his own right and inker over Dan Jurgens for a lot of great Superman stories.

[@aidanlentz6194]

I really enjoyed Action Comics 1000 as well as Superman 45 and ASM 799, great day for comics! My favorite variant from Action Comics 1000 was the 30s variant so I was super excited when my local shop still had it in stock. As for Detective Comics 1000, I would love for them to do the decades variants again, I think it's a genius idea and Batman has arguably had even more distinct eras than Superman so it would be a lot of fun. And my favorite cover would probably be either by Capullo or Jock if either of them made one.

[@rorygroth8517]

My favorite cover was the 60s one because I used to read my parents old superman comics from then so that's what I remember the fondest but unfortunately my comic store didn't have any left so I got the almost as amazing Dave Gibbons 50s cover

[@matthewhastie8351]

For the 80 years of Batman celebration, can Miller and Lee release the last issues of All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder?

[@cullenstalin]

36:28 Marvel *did* get permission from Jim Lee for the variants. It was a trade for some reprinting rights for Absolute WildCATS to include the X-Men crossover.

[@kagex5]

Starting a new diet Monday, Broccoli, Justice, and Hope. #Batbody2018 #Vengeance #TheNight

[@matthewrascoe8690]

My favorite superman writers were Roger Stern, Jeph Loeb (Early years), and Mr. Bognadove

[@nickrottkamp4933]

The swoosh logo was 1000 times better than the page turn. That being said, the 70s-00s logo is iconic and probably won't be topped

[@chinookguy1495]

Hey ComicPoP crew, for Tom King I will say he writes characters better when they are not human.

[@liverusrock6789]

Wait, Lark did a couple of pages for the Batman Annual #2, sooo maybe he changed his mind?

[@Nrmozis8583e28]

I love that line, "while you're picking up your Superman's, pick up a copy of Jupiter Jet too"

[@jaimepanamenojr.8245]

Tried to pick up Jupiter jet at the store across the street but they sold out yesterday. I guess I'll try at the one across town.

[@TheTheDontae]

I think sal hit the nail on the head Superman every two or three years you’ve got to have one hell of a pitch to keep investment in superman. because I drop rebirth superman a while ago

[@AlejandroGonzalez-gh1to]

17:08 Earth One Superman I love it so much I just really want another volume

[@liverusrock6789]

I think the issue can be timeless given that I could give this issue to anyone who it's interested in Superman and have grasp of him as a character.

[@7awesomename]

I'd love if we got Animated Series art in DC1K.

[@papinacho8716]

Elliot S! Maggin should also have been included.

[@RedFrog_]

36:05 Jerry Ordway did the art for the 5 Minutes story

[@dlvnmedia]

Fred Hembeck Detective variant please?

[@shauntempley9757]

Jeph Loeb had the right to say what he said. If he was heard accepting that comment, he could get in big trouble; even fired due to a perceived conflict of interest. The only place this is allowed is at a Comic Con, or other event where all comic creators are gathered. Because it is neutral ground.

[@DarkClassicGamer]

Shaun Templey if that was the case, he couldve politely explain that. He had no right to say it like an asshole. Especially to a loving fan

[@dumbot12]

Tom King's Mister Miracle is fantastic, I dont like his Batman, but his Mister Miracle is georgous!

[@comicpop]

Vision, too!

[@jpetros25]

Three of my favorite comic peeps!

[@bearzilla1998]

how about tyrell because thats who e is

[@oatmat]

I actually really enjoyed Scott Snyder's story.....sorry

[@oatmat]

loved the simplicity, loved the Superman and Lex interactions, loved Lex's flashback and I thought the ending was great

[@shockout2020]

#1000 was amazing

[@oatmat]

@54:30 Helena Wayne, I remember Benny talking about it last week, also do you guys remember right before the New 52 and after Infinite Crisis(after the "One Year Later" storyline), Catwoman gave birth to a baby girl named Helena and DC did not reveal who the father was, and then the New 52 happened and that storyline got completely scrapped

[@cisnerd_2093]

I was kind of hoping this would be more of a discussion of Superman's legacy. Y'all talked about AC 1000 for a half hour, DC 1000 for twenty minutes, and the actual legacy of Superman for maybe ten or fifteen minutes. Not a big deal, still gonna Like it, still gonna watch the next one, it's just this felt more like an episode of the Weekly Pull than Elseworlds Exchange.

[@solo_starkillergaming]

The trunks are lame as hell👎

[@oatmat]

TheeSolo_Starkiller Gaming I agree my solutions is get rid of them or make them longer so they go about half way down the thighs so they looks more like shorts than underwear

[@ItsMichaelReid]

TheeSolo_Starkiller Gaming Its a timeless classic 👌

[@solo_starkillergaming]

The symbol of EL is timeless. The trunks are lame and need to go away faster than they came back 😂

[@MaximumSpider19]

You can respect the trunks or you can see yourself out. They’re here to stay.

[@jaredwhite1963]

The trunks aren't lame it's a classic
