Hey, so when I switched over my channel from an individual to a brand account, it deleted all my comments. :( So if you see threads where it looks like I replied, but you can't see anything. That's why.
Wow! I stopped collecting comics back in 1988, and I've regretted it ever since. I've always wanted to start back collecting, but all of these confusing and convoluted storylines are very intimidating. I wouldn't know where to start. Power Man and Iron Fist was always one of my favorite titles.
Heroes for hire was my childhood favorite comic, back in the 70's(yep im that old!). Heard the mcu was doing a heroes for hire movie for the mcu, i got excited...
My first expirience with Luke and Danny was from the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon (is not related to the game or comic series). Glad i learned something from this video.
Luke cage actually sounds pretty cool. I know he had a Netflix show but I never heard anyone talk about it so I figured he was just some throwaway character.
Yeah, I know its a lot. But you should never stop doing this. Like, a couple of ago, you said you won't be able to do this, I really felt it. Coz your so good at it. So please keep doing this. We all support you, man. #BoosterGoldFansForLife!
the 1st power man experiment gave him super strength able 2 lift 10 tons.with the 2nd experiment he's able to lift 50 tons.his steel hard skin is also more durable.
*pushes glasses up nose* Iron Fist (wearing the white version of his costume) was a defender briefly around 2011. I remember he got shot in the chest once and spent an entire issue healing himself with chi.
Greatly appreciated, the work was put in and you just reminded me to get my copy of the thhunderbolts (heroic age) that you captioned in your video. I would love to see both an Iron fist and Hero's for hire video all in due time. Good job +Comic Drake
hey trailer drake, I know you seem to only cover the mainstream stuff, DC and Marvel, but how about looking at stuff like I Hate Fairyland, Archie's various comics, Saga and maybe classic stuff like sandman or preacher?
Fucking hell man. Good thing happens, shit happens, good thing happens, shit happens, good thing happens, shit happens, good thing happens, crappy civil war, good thing happens, evil Tony Stark AND universe resets, good thing happens, crappy civil war 2. And people say comics aren't a refection of real life XD
My brother started watching Netflix's Luke Cage, usually i'm the marvel buff in the house and he's the DC one, so i felt pretty useless knowing nothing about him.
Question for you Drake. How many groups/ teams has Wolverine been a part of? And exactly how old IS Wolverine, really? Another video I would love to see is, Most Powerful Youths in Marvel Comics, such as Adam Reed. I know there are more but I'm not sure who they are. Thanks and great videos!
I'd like a little video about Civil War 2 so far. Only Marvel comic coming out in my country is Spider-Man and we're still in the Superior Spider-Man arc, so I won't hear about it in a while.
Dr_whats_his_name yes, civil war 2 has nothing to do with the first one. It is about an inhuman that can see the future and Captain Marvel wants to use him to imprison people who "might" commit crimes. Tony Stark is not for this and pointless civil war ensues. Most of it is just sitting around talking. The only times anything happens is a when characters die for no reason.
***** Can you make more videos on the Valiant Comic Characters then? Just so that the uneducated like me can learn more about them and not confused them with Wildstorm again? XD
***** Is Rai really the only relevant character in the Valiant Comic Timeline? That seems like a downer, considering that you made that character seem very interesting from a reader's point of view.
Hi Drake. Just found your site and this was the first video of yours I have watched. Iam a BIG fan of Black Nerd Andre and found your channel thru him. I have not read comics in awhile but back when I did Starfire was my favorite DC character. Since you asked for idea about videos,heres one. Recently I read an issue of Red Hood And The Outlaws and was COMPLETELY lost and a bit pissed off. Can you make a video explaining how,during the George Perez - Teen Titan era Starfire was a strong,passionate warrior who was extremely loyal to her friends to this new Starfire who seems to be an amnesia riddled slut who doesn't seem to care about loyalty,honor or anything at all. George Perez (who is still my favorite artist,bar none)created a fantastic character that in my absence from comic book collecting has been RUINED and id like to know how and why. Thanks.
Flashpoint happened and reset the universe kicking off the New 52, then fast forward about 10 years and basically those ten years never happened changing everything
Actually not true Iron Fist and Daredevil have been both Defenders in the Original comics. Infact it was said as much that they were official Defenders even though the team was unofficial.
nah, it's cool. Here's the link where I was looking: www.cbr.com/charlie-cox-reveals-where-luke-cage-falls-in-the-marvelnetflix-timeline/ apparently Luke Cage is set before DD S2. Just a couple hours away now
Never read Like cage Comics or familiar with the Character but i decided to watch the Netflix series. It felt blocky and the acting was either stiff or over the top.. but it action fantasy so i will keep watching. Black superhero ? keep it coming.
I really enjoyed the way bendis and Matt fraction wrote like and haven't found anything like that. He doesn't feel like a real black person half the time, and as a black person I find it very annoying I want more street level great stories like daredevil but... For me you know?
Oh I wasn't saying I don't like your videos. I just find the intros and outros a little conflicting with the rest of the video style which is mostly comic or animation. Maybe I'm confusing you with other channels like game theory when I say I liked it before. It just seems awkward to have 30 second intro, 30 second outro that must take time out to film and looks a bit disjointed from the rest of the piece (to me anyway)
Thumbs down. He opens the video by calling him by his real identity. It's typically customary to all characters by their code name. Such as Spider-Man. In this case, Power Man. Just because the show is called Luke Cage for no reason, it doesn't mean you should use real identity when referring to characters unless it's for an actual reason. As in discussing their real identity or discussing other characters using the same code name.

Iron fist !
Ps, interesting fact, Luke's daughter, Danielle is named after Luke's best friend, Danny Rand
Pretty interesting character. Thug to mercenary to hero to family man.
not throwing shade but this was a much better video than variants. good job drake
5:05 Good god, that ART
Wow! I stopped collecting comics back in 1988, and I've regretted it ever since. I've always wanted to start back collecting, but all of these confusing and convoluted storylines are very intimidating. I wouldn't know where to start. Power Man and Iron Fist was always one of my favorite titles.
Am I the only one who saw the terrifying face right before the intro
those eyes...
I think he is hiding drake in his basement
0:14
That was terrifying
Luke also became mayor of NY recently.
This is the beat Luke Cage video I have seen so far. I actually learned some new stuff. Awesome video
"Lavateria" ... ???
Yeah, wanted to pick my fork and torch for that
Thank you, Drake. This is yet another awesome video.
Heroes for hire was my childhood favorite comic, back in the 70's(yep im that old!). Heard the mcu was doing a heroes for hire movie for the mcu, i got excited...
So fricken hyped for tomorrow
Been as excited for this video as the show itself!
My first expirience with Luke and Danny was from the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon (is not related to the game or comic series). Glad i learned something from this video.
I am so glad you are back to making regular videos. Keep up the good work.
I also like how you really interact with your audience
Luke cage actually sounds pretty cool. I know he had a Netflix show but I never heard anyone talk about it so I figured he was just some throwaway character.
Heroes for hire
You should keep doing this everyday, man. Your videos are wonderful. And just so you know, I'm a big BOOSTER GOLD Fan, too!
Yeah, I know its a lot. But you should never stop doing this. Like, a couple of ago, you said you won't be able to do this, I really felt it. Coz your so good at it. So please keep doing this. We all support you, man. #BoosterGoldFansForLife!
I finished up the Luke Cage Netflix last night, it was amazing!
the 1st power man experiment gave him super strength able 2 lift 10 tons.with the 2nd experiment he's able to lift 50 tons.his steel hard skin is also more durable.
Nice video man! Love your hair and the new opening.
Has it really? Dang. Guess I forgot somehow...
History of the Heroes for Hire please!!
Why not a history of Squirrel Girl? She's one of my favorites and I hope she has a teamup with Gwenpool in the future.
Are you trolling us?
*pushes glasses up nose* Iron Fist (wearing the white version of his costume) was a defender briefly around 2011. I remember he got shot in the chest once and spent an entire issue healing himself with chi.
Do One Of These On
-White Tiger (Ava Ayala)
-Nova (Sam Alexander)
Sorry, Didn't See That One, Will Watch It Soon
Greatly appreciated, the work was put in and you just reminded me to get my copy of the thhunderbolts (heroic age) that you captioned in your video. I would love to see both an Iron fist and Hero's for hire video all in due time. Good job +Comic Drake
hey trailer drake, I know you seem to only cover the mainstream stuff, DC and Marvel, but how about looking at stuff like I Hate Fairyland, Archie's various comics, Saga and maybe classic stuff like sandman or preacher?
***** ah my apologies
Fucking hell man. Good thing happens, shit happens, good thing happens, shit happens, good thing happens, shit happens, good thing happens, crappy civil war, good thing happens, evil Tony Stark AND universe resets, good thing happens, crappy civil war 2. And people say comics aren't a refection of real life XD
Love your videos, you deserve way more subscribers.
OK I will.
Because of your channel, I started reading Alias and I loved it :D Thanks for the recommendation!
Loving the intro more and more every video
My brother started watching Netflix's Luke Cage, usually i'm the marvel buff in the house and he's the DC one, so i felt pretty useless knowing nothing about him.
Question for you Drake. How many groups/ teams has Wolverine been a part of? And exactly how old IS Wolverine, really?
Another video I would love to see is, Most Powerful Youths in Marvel Comics, such as Adam Reed. I know there are more but I'm not sure who they are. Thanks and great videos!
Awesome Overview!
Do Iron Fist next please
HOLD IT!!! There was a Civil War 2?!
HerroShad3 yea, it sucks. It is still coming out.
Zachary Hess It does? I haven't read it, but how so?
Zachary Hess I'd put it on the same par as the first one
could you do mr. freeze
my biggest question is, luke cage started off with his skin as strong as steel. when did his skin become as strong as adamantium?
Happened because of the natural upgrading power scale in comics probably
I would like to see both videos about Hero(s) for Hire and history of Iron Fist.
I'd like a little video about Civil War 2 so far. Only Marvel comic coming out in my country is Spider-Man and we're still in the Superior Spider-Man arc, so I won't hear about it in a while.
Nice one. Looking foreword to the Netflix show
Woah, woah,woah WTF is civil war 2!?!?
Dr_whats_his_name yes, civil war 2 has nothing to do with the first one. It is about an inhuman that can see the future and Captain Marvel wants to use him to imprison people who "might" commit crimes. Tony Stark is not for this and pointless civil war ensues. Most of it is just sitting around talking. The only times anything happens is a when characters die for no reason.
so its worthless? and made to piggy back off the movie?
Dr_whats_his_name pretty much
a cheap cash-in that has nothing to do with the movie or the original comic. dont read it.
+Zachary Hess ironic, considiering Iron Man was the war crime committing 'villain' of the original civil war
Good thing someone knows what theyre talkin bout
Loving the recent videos! Hope you're doing better man :)
Tihfexcimo.
Completely forgot that Civil War 2 was happening. do you plan on recapping it once its all done?
Are you still planning on doing more Wildstorm comic characters?
***** I thought Rai (The hero of Japan in the future) was in the Wildstorm series. Which is under DC ownership.
Am I wrong?
***** Oh, my bad. Thank you for correcting me.
***** Can you make more videos on the Valiant Comic Characters then? Just so that the uneducated like me can learn more about them and not confused them with Wildstorm again? XD
***** Is Rai really the only relevant character in the Valiant Comic Timeline? That seems like a downer, considering that you made that character seem very interesting from a reader's point of view.
This video is perfect
What about the Blue Marvel 1960S
Trailer Drake more like Swag Drake. Your haircut is fresh as fuck my dood XD
wow you made iron fist sound interesting. i was like not interested at all with the preview and his character synopsis but this sounds cool.
Luke is great!
I did this a week after a binge of the show w/ the same name.
I still love classic luke cage afro head band yellow shirt and all
i missed your videos man, love your hair btw. i feel like that nerfed his powers A LOT in the show..kinda sad..
comic drake actually iron fist was on the defenders

Corrections: Reva (REE-VAH) not (REH-VAH), Thanos (THA-NOS) not (THAY-NOS)
Willis Stryker... Stryker, Stryker, Stryker, Stryker, Stryker.
*punches nearby woman*
Gah... I can't wait... the show is supposed to drop today... And it hasn't dropped.
ironfist
I want the iron fist so bad!!!
Actually not true Iron Fist and Daredevil have been both Defenders in the Original comics. Infact it was said as much that they were official Defenders even though the team was unofficial.
squirrel girl was a baby siter for him.
I like this show like a lot!!!! so just give me. more!!
Luke just can't catch a break.
I'm gonna try getting into comics is there any good ones for beginners
How does one get a bomb put on their heart? lol, comics
nice dye job
I like the faded look
Why don't we ever see Norman in a durag? He gotta let them waves cook
Fun show.
i actually want to know about the new power man
why are some of the word balloons in the video empty and others aren't?
Copyright issues
Really then. Thanks. Rather ironic for that but I guess it's best to take precautions with UA-cam's copyright crap nowadays.
I thought it was to avoid spoilers.
Hey Drake
Why are there so many unliked comments?
"Laveteria"?
Do we know if Jessica Jones is gonna make an appearance?
The Luke Cage show is based a while before the events of Jessica Jones, so probably not.
Ethan d'Entremont Oh, I though I read somewhere that the events in Luke Cage were gonna occur in the midst of Daredevil S2
Oh, shit. Well I could be wrong, I haven't looked too far into it. It just looked like it's based before Cage bought the bar in the trailers
nah, it's cool. Here's the link where I was looking: www.cbr.com/charlie-cox-reveals-where-luke-cage-falls-in-the-marvelnetflix-timeline/
apparently Luke Cage is set before DD S2. Just a couple hours away now
No, Luke Cage is set AFTER Daredevil season 2. The Marvel movies and shows take place in real time roughly speaking.
Iron Fist with tomato paste
Came from MH Bugle
Never read Like cage Comics or familiar with the Character but i decided to watch the Netflix series. It felt blocky and the acting was either stiff or over the top.. but it action fantasy so i will keep watching. Black superhero ? keep it coming.
iron fist!
Really? I thought basically every Marvel hero was a Defender at one point or another.
That's Latveria not "Lavateria".
if luke cage had a son do you want it to be on earth 616 or spider gwens earth like for 616 reply for spider gwens earth
Lavateria
Laviteria? I think you meant to say Latveria.
Oh my god it's Lat-ve-ria 😂😂😂
Comic Drake omg nerds am I right
"Lavateria" do you mean Latveria?
Hey no dislikes nice job
You Jinxed it
its still very low
Drake no offense but every comic video you've done that has a black superhero in it, you've said that their the first black super hero in comics. 😂😂😂
UA-cam
oh, 😅😅 sorry bout that!
Iron fist
I really enjoyed the way bendis and Matt fraction wrote like and haven't found anything like that. He doesn't feel like a real black person half the time, and as a black person I find it very annoying I want more street level great stories like daredevil but... For me you know?
i preferred these videos when it was just animation and comics. Don't see why he had to insert himself into it.
Oh I wasn't saying I don't like your videos. I just find the intros and outros a little conflicting with the rest of the video style which is mostly comic or animation. Maybe I'm confusing you with other channels like game theory when I say I liked it before. It just seems awkward to have 30 second intro, 30 second outro that must take time out to film and looks a bit disjointed from the rest of the piece (to me anyway)
iron fist
Drake, why do you always seem uncomfortable while filming?
😊😊😊😊😊😊
arent history and origins the same thing
Thumbs down. He opens the video by calling him by his real identity. It's typically customary to all characters by their code name. Such as Spider-Man. In this case, Power Man.

You aren't being serious.... right?
