  • Pick it up here: amzn.to/2v4UXVg A deadly force like none the universe has ever seen is rising. Millennia ago, it wiped out hundreds of star systems and pushed the planets of New Genesis and Apokolips back into the Stone Age. Now, Lord Darkseid alone has seen the danger that is coming. He needs help, but the monsters and deviants that serve him on Apokolips will be no match for an entity this powerful. To save his realm and others, Darkseid must look for help in the camp of his enemies... Only heroes can help him now. Never miss an episode by subscribing today! bit.ly/2WYvgkt

    Argh, I really want to watch this episode, but a few minutes into the description I had to save it, order the book, and now wait to read it before I watch! Same thing happened with God Country and Batman: The Cult. Thank you for introducing me to interesting books I have never read before. I look forward to watching this video later.

    I remember reading a bunch of stuff where John Stewart was responsible for the destruction of a planet, more recently in Justice League, but before that when I was reading the War of Light saga and the GLC stuff with Fatality, but never bothered to figure out when that had happened. Thank you for catching me up on that story.

    Honestly, I kinda like the Anti-Life Equation as a sentient being...
    That way, I can assure myself that Einstein's E=mc2 equation is a huge destructive being with nuclear powers in another dimension (or just a small nerd with teeth braces, much like Sal's Lil' Darkseid)...

    "I'm gonna miss dinner..." I'll be honest, until DC printed that nice HC Deluxe edition of this story I didn't know it even existed. I picked it up and kinda liked it. Mignola's art has a presence about it, but I shamefacedly didn't finish the last few pages. Thanks for covering it for me, Sal n' the gang!

  • @ThePhantom555

    THIS is why I love back issues. I’ve been reading comics since the knightfall era of Batman and I love finding good stories in Back issue bins that are from before then. While I love the new stuff there’s always a sense of wonder when looking back so thanks for picking s story that gives me that feeling I will definitely be picking this book up.

    You can tell that Tiffany is a fan of John Stewart from the animated series since it seems like she had a bit of a time accepting John from the comics is a bit of a douche and really not that great. THIS is his defining moment from the comics, and its one of complete and utter failure. Other than that the only time hes ever been good is in the television show lol.

    Kirby’s New Gods are one of my favorite series of all time! Great art, great plots and weird Shakespearean dialogue from Kirby. You should read Orion by Walt Simonson from the 90’s, probably my favorite non-Kirby New Gods book and a great introduction for them.

  • @flywheelshyster

    This will go down as one of my favorite DC events. It was the first I read when I got Dc infinite [originally dc universe] and also the first cosmic dc story I ever read, at four issues [with each issue feeling slightly longer than a normal one] its the perfect length. not too long, not too short. It does its purpose and it does it well. a classic, fun back issues for a classic, fun story

    @Lukefer 6 років тому +7

    So wait...
    Is this what inspired Justice League: War? DCCU Justice League? And the New 52 story?
    Concepts from this have been recycled three different times in three different mediums?
    Neat. Was gonna say lame, but I find it amusing so NEAT! :)

    • @Lukefer
      @Lukefer 6 років тому +1

      My point is that the same or similar scene in this exact story of Batman, chasing the Para-demon, is mimicked/homaged, in all three...
      Justice League: War, New 52 JL Origin, Justice League Movie, etc.
      So clearly, the concept was recycled, more than once...
      And there is other parallel's in this, directly inspiring events in all three as well.
      Whether it is a direct homage or direct inspiration, hard to tell, but it's clear the the similarities are interesting enough to make you wonder.

    • @Lukefer
      @Lukefer 6 років тому +2

      My question was rhetorical. LOL
      You're completely missing what I'm saying...
      I get that, that's not what I'm talking about. At all...
      I'm talking about singular instances that are similar...
      I'm not talking STORY at whole cloth. LOL
      JL Origin, has similar moments as Odyssey.
      Those same similar moments, are also repeated therefore, strangely enough in the other examples as well...
      I'm not saying it's verbatim. Dude. LOL *facepalm*
      I'm reveling in the notion, that those similarities exist, whether they be on purpose, or haphazard homages. They are there. And it amuses me.

    I met Mike Mignola at a comic con in boston. I was psyched to meet him as i loved Hellboy, especially at the time. I was very disappointed with the experience. He was a major jerk to me. I asked him :
    " how long have you planned the current Hellboy story?"
    (He signs my Gotham by Gaslight)
    "HELLBOY TOOK ON A LIFE OF ITS OWN!"
    I grabbed my book and walked away. I was very let down. He is the only creator i have met that wasnt nice to me. He lost a few fans that day cause 2 friends witnessed me get my head bit off by the guy. I never say bad things about creators. I am a fan and have been reading comics since i was 4. I try not to read his stuff now. Which isnt easy cause he is such a great artist and i really do like his work.

    They also make reference to this book in the Justice League cartoon in the Blackest Night episode where John Stewart is put on trial for accidentally blowing up a planet.

    I ordered an Elseworlds Superman Annual a few months ago. Instead of receiving it, the orders got missed up and I got a tie in to 2001 AD. I'm too lazy to read it, so could you please do a Back Issues on 2001 AD?

      I would love to! We just need to find a collection of it. I don't want to hunt for that.

    John Stewart’s failure has been a big aspect for the character ever since that story it’s been brought up so many times
