[@CaroMadeline]

Loved the video!💕 Just started my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They offer a huge variety of digital comics for every genre, and lifetime updates too!😍

[@Talking_Comics]

Ultimate X-Men has been a blast and I love that it centralizes mature themes like suicide and domestic violence without being crass or loaded with blood or profanity. I also love how NEW it is. I guess I get why some who wanted a more straightforward retelling of 616 X-Men like the first Ultimate X-Men run but I'm surprised there have been so many complaints about the run. I can't wait to see how it eventually ties into the rest of the new Ultimate universe

[@tyresselittle747]

Yeah, for some reason, they hate the change, but those are the same people complaining about how x-men needs. To shake up with new ideas on the x-men 🙄

[@langreeves6419]

I would understand the hating of the UU X-men if the 616 X-men titles were no longer available. But, if someone likes the multitude of 616 X-men comics that are out, they can still enjoy them. I find 616 X-men convoluted, over burdened with continuity, and boring. For people like me, it is so great to finally have an enjoyable X-men comic.

[@jhop779]

I’m a vegan that loves Peach Peach Momoko’s X-MEN ✌🏼😁

[@tyresselittle747]

Wooohoo love to see a proud fan.

[@smia0601]

Boo to Robbie for this poor taste, lazy joke

[@langreeves6419]

​@@smia0601especially since I often try to keep my veganism in the closet... Nonvegans are so easily triggered! They find out by asking me...then they immediately fly into a defensive raging rant to let me know that they are 1) not doing anything wrong 2) veganism actually is unhealthy and doesn't help the animals, and 3) I'm not morally better than them.

[@joshjones5378]

I came here to make the same comment! Vegan X-Men UNITE

[@frankygonzales15]

I never trusted a vegan 😂😂😂😂

[@luiscreatingart8239]

Another great comic book review. This is my favorite way to start new comic book day every week. Thanks Robbie, much appreciated!

[@bretthessart63]

I really like Ultimate X-men too, it's a slow burn, but I love the character development and atmosphere.

[@tyresselittle747]

Me too. I appreciate this book. Take its time to let us get to know the characters.

[@HeroicAge616]

As someone who is an ex-vegan, it’s the anti-vegans who are obsessed with talking about it constantly. Great video

[@DeviantSaintify]

I've been a fan of Peach Momoko for a long while. Her work is the best, especially her Demon Wars run.

[@teratophile9896]

I've been waiting for Remote Space for years. Love Cliffs work. I feel like he's under appreciated.

[@MargoCowen]

Great show guys, thank you

[@aaronturner2832]

Appreciate these vids! Didn't pre-order Remote Space, but snagged one off the wall today, based on your rec. Can't wait to check it out!

[@SakimiEnomoto]

Great video, appreciate you sharing it!

[@johnsonbenjamin887]

I’m enjoying the new ultimate X-men with you. My only gripe was the font size in the first 2 issues lol.

[@KorrieNuzhah]

Thanks for sharing this, truly excellent content!

[@JUANROJAS-jz5us]

I agree with you Godzilla-1 great movie and he’s been awesome for a long time. Robbie station 👊👊👊💣

[@dwsippel]

Completely agree on your comparison with Scarlet Witch and Poison Ivy. Marvel had Wolverine hit 50, which is going back to new #1. How many ongoing series does Marvel have past 50 issues, heck 20 issues? DC has Action and Detective still going on over 1000 issues. As a long-time comics fan, it was a big deal when an ongoing hit 100 issues. When was the last time a Marvel ongoing hit 100 issues?

[@VidaLinsay]

Fantastic vid!!! Thanks a lot!

[@leoneldheming2445]

Awesome video!

[@ImojeanMargar]

very helpful, worth the watch

[@ShioriIkegami]

Can't wait to start my collection

[@johnmichaelwilliams6694]

Have gotten to the point of waiting to see if Robbie's weekly great review show does not add to the pull list prepared for the week. Hasn't happened today. Thanks once gain, Robbie.

[@LiberaDeRose]

Thanks a ton, this was super helpful!

[@ChillMonger]

I like how you like Ultimate X-Men

[@MariaBianci]

wow, great video. thanks so much

[@stephentheshywarrior2759]

Congratulations on 20k subscribers!!!!!

[@sleepyreader666]

"I love Hate" quote of the week.

[@JoeLovesComics]

Yeah I'm loving Ultimate X-Men as well!

[@tassosgkouvitsas428]

I really laughed with the vegan/Peach Momoko joke

[@62LeftyBlues]

I only buy the Peach Momoko X-men books where she illustrates and writes. I like how she brings new life to the characters and the Japanese horror-ish themes she adds. Station!

[@robertcarbone3297]

Congrats on 20k 🎉

[@AshlenBushra]

ill definitely try that, thanks!

[@mrgumdrops5]

I picked up precious metal #1 because of your review, what a great book! That art and story were fantastic!

[@fishfacepete]

First! Loving the Chucky shirt!

[@contempocomics]

I look forward to these weekly videos. I'm also reading Usagi & Hate. Highly recommended. I also just covered Ginseng Roots by Craig Thompson on my channel and it's unbelievable how it has raised the bar of how good comics can be. Highest possible recommendation for this 12 issue series.

[@at9648]

When Poison Ivy crossed the 20 issue mark, I started checking it out. I had written it off at first as a lesser series. It is not. It’s the best thing DC have.

[@ReaperXC]

Dan Buckley had stated that Marvel are committing to greenlighting new series' to a minimum of 8 issues. That should be seen in the coming months as current books have been in the can for a while.

[@1982jay840]

Still amazed how you do these reviews of the top of your head 😂

[@entropyincomics3038]

Great picks and reviews 👍. You will never guess my Blue Light Special this week.

[@langreeves6419]

I have accepted the starting over with a new issue 1 when a creative team finishes their run. So in those cases the #1 signifies a new story is starting. But Scarlett Witch has been one story. Im liking it, but i wish they'd quit restarting the numbers.

[@VazzVegas]

All the stop/starts from Marvel really bother me too. It's the main reason I've gravitated more to indie books instead.

[@squidracerX]

Robbie's 4th? 5th? Official Graphic Novel Pull Quote: "It didn't take me back to the shack"

[@KDine0might]

I was hoping to hear about High on Life from Titan but no worries, I'll just have to wait til it shows up lol. Seems like there are a bunch of good indie titles this week, thanks!

[@Akstergrind]

Robbie: "I love Hate!" Ha ha ha ha ha ha! (easily pleased)

[@Ryhan_Beard]

Whoa, didn't know Plastic was getting a sequel. One of my favorite "blind buys" when I worked at B&N for many years.

[@sidneyrivera3578]

Thanks for your efforts Robbie! Scarlet Witch keeps getting re-booted in attempts to get the “#1 issue sales/speculative bump”…it has not been good. Nope; not interested.

[@GoldTuffman]

Awesome review as always! Station!

[@Swamp-Bat]

“What’s the difference between a vegan and a person who hates peach Momoko?” 😂

[@tyresselittle747]

Right, he roasted the haters 🤣

[@Leatherhead4Hire]

Except that wasn't what he said. If you're going to "quote" what someone says, maybe quote them accurately.

[@Swamp-Bat]

@@Leatherhead4Hire what’s the difference between a vegan and a grammar nazi? 😂

[@dwsippel]

Godzilla Minus One was so good! Top 3 film of 2023 for me.

[@GoreVidalComicbooks]

After all these on youtube continue being impressed by how many books you weekly read.

[@DCPatrol]

Ultimate X-Men is cool. I'm going to drop it, but I'm dropping all of the Ultimate books. I'll read them once collected. I think they play out better that way.

[@tyresselittle747]

That's cool it's slow burn due to hickman on the helm of the ultimate lineup, so it makes sense for all the titles to be better through tpb to get the full scope of the stories.

[@DCPatrol]

Skate or Die! Yes !!

[@damariusgray]

Curious why you stopped house of slaughter ?

[@clsrocks007]

Dropped Ultimate x men and Napalm after issue 1. If I wanted to read manga i would pick up a junji ito not x men😂. Napalm was just boring! EU is the best thing I m buying now. That and Conan rule! I did like Moon Knight and Ghost rider from marvel before the #1 reboot but they have been losing me. Now its just Ultimate spidey n black panther and Ultimates. From DC Godzilla vs JL has been fun but its over, I m loving all the Superman and action stuff! Brianac War is great! Batman n Detective are a bit dull... i m sticking with Nightwing and Titans

[@MrMorgs123]

I read Thundercats #05. I get that it is a different artist but why has the art changed so significantly? Before it was not great. Very childish and simple. Now, the artwork is sculpted, the colours are better. It jist looks like more money is being thrown into it. Is this a permanent change?

[@escfrizby]

posehns got grommits AND rifters?

[@davidprosper3460]

So you really did drop Amazing Spider-Man?

[@Michael-tn9wp]

Hulk 13? Are you out yet?

[@TonyRivera0206]

Must view you tube

[@kidd_splashh6036]

You dropped out of hulk?!!

[@jkiser214]

Love Hate!

[@nagilumsnangilima]

Peach Momoko's writing is terrific. But, I'm not sure that X-Men is the right book for her. We've been focusing on Armour's origins for the past 4 issues now and it's been going on a snail's pace now. This is supposed to be a team book, not an individual's book. If you had Ulitmate Armour instead of Ultimate X-Men, then I wouldn't argue so much.

[@tyresselittle747]

I disagree through issues 2 and 3, which was an introduction and backstory focus for maystorm, and also, we are getting mystery to who the shadow guy is and why he is targeting armor.

[@UltimatePower01]

Teams are comprised of individuals

[@langreeves6419]

I hate group books that throw a ton of info about several people. Those books feel like text books for school. I like character development. If you want a zillion characters with convoluted plots, read the 616 X-men. Ultimate Universe is supposed to be different. So far, it has been more character driven than the 616, and I'm here for it.

[@FlashByKnight]

Don't worry Robbie. I got your back on Ultimate X-men.

[@tyresselittle747]

Me,too. I've been fighting this hill on uxm. I thought I was all alone, glad there are more fans who like Ms. Momoko x-men run.

[@langreeves6419]

​@@tyresselittle747what's wrong with Fandom? The UU is SUPPOSED to be different. If someone wants regular X-men, there are MULTIPLE titles they can read. I would hate any of the UU comics to be the same as 616.

[@tyresselittle747]

​@langreeves6419 Exactly, it's just old x-men fans are the ones complaining and can't accept the new change with the book. Plus, I think they're waiting for "from the ashes" era of x-men to come out but. Regardless they need to go back reread all the old x-men books to get there traditional x-men fixed or something. Instead of constantly spew out the same complaints about "this not x-men" crap.

[@ronaldhoenow7784]

ZILLA ZILLA💥💥💣

[@bierguy3033]

Comment for algorithm.

[@MrMark-hm9lk]

X-man peach sucks

[@grios5530]

Peaches book sucks dawg. Accept it and stop trying to be different.

[@BossBigguns]

Peach needs to stop

[@tyresselittle747]

No, you need to stop reading and drop the book if you don't like it. Stop torturing yourself of reading that you do not enjoy 😒

[@langreeves6419]

There are plenty of xmen books in the 616 universe. All those books are convoluted and require a lot of reading of hundreds of back issues.... If you enjoy those, enjoy them. But why demand that they stop making the one title for those who find the 616 xmen titles boring? I'm not calling for them to stop the multiple crappy xmen books. You have many xmen series. I have ONE xmen series. Why you such a %$*# that you don't want books to exist for people other than you?
