Which of Mark Waid's two Superman projects coming up (Black Label with Bryan Hitch or World's Finest with Dan Mora) are you looking forward to more? And why?
Definitely the Black Label Superman. I really want to see his "best Superman idea ever."
The older I get the more I appreciate Birthright, and I just want more Mark Waid Superman. I'm a big fan of Heaven's Ladder too so it'll be great to see Waid and Hitch together again.
Birthright wasn't a bad story, it's just that subsequent writers pulled the wrong lessons from it
I find the best stories are often noncanonical.
Although, World's Finest really feels like an out of continuity series.
The "real" ongoing stories of DC and Marvel are so weighed down with baggage.....nothing can change, and in order to read them, I have to read hundreds or more of other comics.
(Or I won't understand what's going on)
Glad to have you back writing superman mark!
Mark Waid is awesome! And so is The Comics Cube!! Love the way you make the Zoom frames into comic book panels :)
Thanks! 🤘
'Preciate it, and thank you for tuning in!
36:04 such a fantastic story, such a massive class of history...i read some issues of that comic like 3 times and then the full story when ended, was just great. And is good to see that a writer still care about Galactus and his rol on the cosmic scale, he is not a punching bag for other characters to look cool.
Always great to see Mark Waid.
I can listen to Mark speak all day.
All day.
Why ask him about the Superboy question? He has nothing to do with it, and where all waiting for it to go away so we can read comics again
Um, there are hundreds of comics coming out each month. Most of those comics do NOT have Superboy in them. You can still read comics.
And we comicbook readers are still reading comics. We were reading comics before Superboy came out as gay, and we're still reading comics.
You might get offended, but you don't sound like you read many comics.
What titles were on your pull list?
Did you cancel all your titles after Superboy came out?
Did you at least finish some of the story arcs? Did you at least buy the comics your lcs had already ordered for you?
Awful intro music. Every time it gets worse.
How about you compose something better? We'd love to see what you got.
"Happy Birthday" would be better than the current creepy dirge. This is a channel about comics, not film noir.
@@collegesandcannibals241 again...if you can do better please post a link to an intro tune that you've composed and performed yourself.
It's cool, your prerogative not to like it. I think it gives off a "let's drink at this bar and talk" vibe, but I can see why you wouldn't think that fits comics discussion.
As it stands, I just asked a friend to come up with the intro music. I don't have much in the way of technical knowledge here so I just work with what I've got. The intro is only 10 seconds long, so if you'd like, you can do the double tap on the video that forwards by 10 seconds every time it comes up?
Taking this personally, I see, Monica.
Whether I produce a jingle or not is neither here nor there to how off-putting this blackboard-screech is as an intro to a comics book channel.
