Ayy fellas! Absolute DC has been such a breath of fresh air, a lot of my friends who fell off during Rebirth are back in it now thanks to the hype of how good comics are right now. I need that Absolute Martian Manhunter now! Been dealing with fire evac stuff all day today, everything’s all good but thank you for the gifted membership ! 🎉 being a part of the Palsverse is highlight of every week !!
Ultimate Black Panther should had done the same as Absolute Batman, instead of being the king or whatever he is. Make him a street smart guy in a country run by the Moon Knights, and he learns that his Bloodline is that of the Black Panthers and he's the new Black Panther after being found by the current Black Panther.
I think the Ultimate Universe has far better world building which is why people are loving The Ultimates so much more. It’s doing a lot with the set up whereas the other books are slow burns that barely acknowledge the new status quo. The Absolute universe has very little worldbuilding but every series has dropped us into some exciting stories. I agree entirely with Sean on USM. It can live forever on hype over Pete being married.
I not a huge Wonder Woman fan, but I have really liked Absolute WW. I am also liking Absolute Superman far more than I thought I would. For me DC has a better line overall.
I got a couple major issues with Ultimate Black Panther that really bring it down for me. One is how little we’ve gotten of Killmonger and Storm. It feels like a waste of their awesome reveals and amazing designs. My other major issue is the villain. The ultimate version of moon knight shouldn’t be so boring. I don’t mind the vibranium stuff but the villain isn’t compelling. Every ultimate series antagonist is superior to the moon knight gimmick. Just a couple of brothers in suits. Dropped the ball there for sure imo. I’m super excited you guys get to talk to my favorite creator, Jason Aaron. Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine was one of the first things that got me into comics and I read everything Jason puts out. His action comics run got me into Superman, Batman Off World is super fun, Namor is great so far, and obviously Absolute Superman and TMNT are fantastic so far. I’m confident Bug Wars is going to be a fun read.
Yeah hard to argue with your UBP complaints. I share those problems for sure. There’s a lot of promise there but it’s not coming together for me. I hope to see you at the Jason Aaron interview! Share a question if you have any for him.
For me … Ultimates and Spider-Man are the best. But the Absolute Trio is consistently great and marginally better than all the other ultimate stories: - Ultimates has the best story, concept and world building with a solid art… Ultimates #4 is the best issue of the year imo, #3 was my favorite because of some discussions I’ve had with friend regarding how Americans make literature of the Nuke (kinda like Hulk/Banner which is a very Oppenheimer/Frankestein type of monster where he’s both creator and monster) vs how the affected see the bomb (like Japanese see it very Godzilla like with suffering and horror). Issue #6 was absolutely insane. - Spider-Man has gotten a lot of friends that never read comics following up. The stories are so attentive to so many details of the spider man mythos. I genuinely think this is the most different and innovative take on Peter that still manages to feel like it’s still a Peter/Spiderman story and be also a good story. - Absolute Superman/ Batman / WW. Wow. I mean… I like how relevant it is. It feels so much like a reaction to the Snyder era . Like during that time that we had this Earth One stories that where very post-911 and grounded. An era that Batman personally benefited from with the Batman movies but Superman was affected with the Snyderverse. This seems like a reaction of THIS how u make it work… but also hey, this was cool when Snyder/EarthOne did that. Like sometimes it deconstructs that vibe against the OG vibe… and sometimes it’s like a Tribute to that vibe in a nice way. Plus it’s soooo creative and fun. - ultimate black panther & Xmen are great…. But these 5 titles I just mentioned are way above these other ultimate titles.
Ultimate Spider-Man is one month a issue but it's not necessarily one day a month, issue 12 takes place on Christmas Day, and issue 13 could pick up New Year's Day a week between issues in the universe but in the real world, it's December and January. It's not a hard concept to understand.
Nah you guys are forgetting that Ultimate Spider-Man May Issue takes place in a flashback and the only part that takes place in May is the last page. It's not a day in a month 🤭
We directly talked about the issue with Iron Man having a flashback to show us what happened. We mentioned flashbacks multiple times. You gotta learn to listen dude
Ultimate Spider-Man is the best Ultimate title and Ultimates is a close second both are S tier Ultimate X-Men is A Tier Ultimate Black Panther is B Tier, All three Absolute books are in the S category, Superman is the best one, Wonder Woman is second and Batman is third, So overall I'm going to have to go with the Absolute Universe, It's "a deeper cut".
If Ultimate Wolverine is an S Tier book the pendulum could shift to Ultimate Marvel due to them both having three S tier books and due to Ultimate Marvel having an A tier (X-Men) along with it.
I like spider man and Batman if I had to choose between absolute and ultimate I’d choose absolute Batman not a fan of ultimate spider man because I have no patience it’s a slow burn 🤷♂️

I’m glad to hear everything is okay with you dude.
Loving this membership! .Love this channel too. Finding it was the best part of my 2024
That's a huge compliment, thank you so much Jay! I'm really happy you're on board with us.
@ I appreciate that a lot man! You guys treat your community so well. Even a new comer like me. It doesn’t go unnoticed.

Love that idea!!

Yeah I think that’s a great summation of things.
3 hours of comic pals???
Every single Saturday!
I wonder if Resurrection Man will be one of the immortals that the child from the New Gods will spend time with
Interesting theory!
I not a huge Wonder Woman fan, but I have really liked Absolute WW. I am also liking Absolute Superman far more than I thought I would. For me DC has a better line overall.
Absolute Wonder Woman feels a lot more interesting than mainline right now to me that’s for sure.
I got a couple major issues with Ultimate Black Panther that really bring it down for me. One is how little we’ve gotten of Killmonger and Storm. It feels like a waste of their awesome reveals and amazing designs. My other major issue is the villain. The ultimate version of moon knight shouldn’t be so boring.

First comment babyy, Excited to give this a listen on this snowy day. Cheers guys
Hope you enjoy dude!

Also kudos for being the only ultimates vs absolute universe video of 3hrs + to bring life my day😂🙏🏽
Thanks a lot! I’m glad you enjoyed the show.
You hit on so many good points throughout this post. Well thought out and I largely agree with you. I hope to see you around more often!
Sean just putting out there House Of Dragon's season 1 did jump months ahead between episodes and it worked. 🤷🏼♂️
Ultimate Spider-Man is one month a issue but it's not necessarily one day a month, issue 12 takes place on Christmas Day, and issue 13 could pick up New Year's Day a week between issues in the universe but in the real world, it's December and January. It's not a hard concept to understand.
At no moment did anyone say it was one DAY in the month. As per usual you hear what you want to hear.
@@TheComicsPalsyou guys did say that. Someone says it in the chat and you all dismissed it. I'm literally watching it as I type this.
Nah you guys are forgetting that Ultimate Spider-Man May Issue takes place in a flashback and the only part that takes place in May is the last page. It's not a day in a month 🤭

No the issue that ends with Harry holding Bullseye tied up @@TheComicsPals
Workday just got better
Thanks for listening brother, glad we can be a part of your work day.
Ultimate Spider-Man is the best Ultimate title and Ultimates is a close second both are S tier Ultimate X-Men is A Tier Ultimate Black Panther is B Tier, All three Absolute books are in the S category, Superman is the best one, Wonder Woman is second and Batman is third, So overall I'm going to have to go with the Absolute Universe, It's "a deeper cut".
Yeah that’s the thing, the Absolute books are all very very high quality.
If Ultimate Wolverine is an S Tier book the pendulum could shift to Ultimate Marvel due to them both having three S tier books and due to Ultimate Marvel having an A tier (X-Men) along with it.
I like spider man and Batman if I had to choose between absolute and ultimate I’d choose absolute Batman not a fan of ultimate spider man because I have no patience it’s a slow burn 🤷♂️
Yeah the book is moving at a snails pace. I do believe it’ll get better soon though.
@ hopefully it does but I’m happy people are enjoying it
