Yep - new to comics here. only started because of Gunn. Purchased the first issue of WW Absolute. Will be my first time reading a WW comic. Loving this channel.
Great video Jenna! I think you nailed it with these books being perfect for young readers as jumping on points. As someone who grew up in an area with no nearby shops, going to a shop was euphoric and special. And as controversial as it is, the new 52 was big for kids like me as it gave us a chance to hop in and read without worrying about knowing the most crisis or whatever happened.
So so so excited to see more comic-specific videos from you Jenna! You’ve got such a wealth of knowledge and history with these characters, so these videos are gonna be super helpful for readers (both new and seasoned)!!!
I've never read many DC comics, (mostly read marvel), but I've jumped on the All In Initiative, read the special and Absolute Batman, and it was a BLAST!
Hi! First time view, immediate subscriber. This video was INCREDIBLE. It is so great to hear someone talk about the medium with such genuine joy, and positivity! I can't wait to see where this channel goes ❤
ooo i want you to know i got pulled in by the thumbnail IT WAS SO NICE LOOKING AND YER CONTENT IS SO GOOD AHHHH i love that absolute WW feels just like a Hercules retelling ITS SO GOOD
Loved your breakdown on all of these. The Absolute line has been phenomenal so far; and seeing this and the Ultimate Universe just go head-to-head in quality is a treat for all of us. Would love to hear you dive deeper into the Ultimates line as a whole and ongoing from main continuity(from any company) that you’ve been enjoying as well! Love the channel so far, it’s been great.
your way of conveying your thoughts is so well spoken and something i really really respect and appreciate. never heard of you before this video but the quality of your content is absolutely deserving of a subscription. thank you for the excellent videos!
Professor J! "Go read some comics" is such a perfect name for your channel. I always loved when you said that on PZ because it was a great yet loving reminder as to where these films and shows that we (mostly) love came from. Thank you for the explainer on the Absolute universe because until you said it, I had no idea that Darkseid was involved. As I said on your first video, I look forward to seeing the growth of this channel and the inevitable crossovers with BD lol. Btw that co-sign from James Gunn was awesome and well deserved! Also if you're still taking ideas for what to do on the channel, I'd love to see a regular series called "My favourite..." or "Why I love..." (the title is up to you of course) where you do a maybe weekly (or whatever you'd prefer) episode talking about your favourite comic series, run, character, creator, etc... I think that your subscribers would love to get a deep dive into your fandom and hear you talk about the things you love. I would anyway. Just a suggestion! But no matter what you choose to do on here, I'm happy to be along for the ride!🙂
Liked and subscribed this is my first video of you and I guess the algorithm worked because this is the first time I've heard of you as well. Hope this channel grows bigger and bigger ❤
So exited that you guys are going to get to talk Agatha! Almost loved your pop wall Jenna and interested to hear about DC comics being more a Marvel fan.
I agree with you on Absolute Batman #1 being an incredible read. Out of all the Absolute storylines though, I'm most interested in Flash's just because everything we've seen from it so far looks so intriguing to me. Great video as always! 😊
I never pulled monthly comics before Marvel’s Ultimate and DC’s Absolute Universes. Something about a fresh new universe with only a handful of ongoing titles to follow made me want to be a part of it. It’s actually possible to follow both universes without going broke! (For now… we’ll see how much they grow the titles. DC looks like they’re pushing it). Now I’m also pulling quite a few DC mainline books on top of Absolute because of the brilliant idea that was DC All-In and starting new story arcs all at the same time. Can’t say the same for Marvel, only Fantastic Four by Ryan North has made it on my list. But for people like me who have always liked comics but didn’t know how to or when to start following new releases, this was a perfect initiative to get me in.
Tonight is going to be an amazing ending to the Agatha series and a beautiful start to the team coming back together to talk all the nerdy that y'all do. As for the Absolute Universe, you so get the idea that the characters of established lore built over decades should be 100% malleable. There is way more potential in seeing these characters written in all kinds of ways as opposed to continuing established lore for the sake of monolith storytelling.
Lil late to the party. Always wanted you doing Comicbook reviews. Love your take on DC and Marvel. Enjoyed the video - have the books and will be reading them soon. Good luck with the new site.
Love this! You sell me on these books each week. Would love for you to include like a recommended reading or list of what you’re reading this week. That would be awesome
I’d like to see an Absolute Deethstroke or Hackman. The idea of WinterSoldier-esp Deathstroke or maybe a Captain America type, despite all odds he’s the Captain that’s willing to kill. Hawkman and Hawkgirl would have an interesting take because of how reincarnation and immortality works for them. Maybe they aren’t immortal. Maybe the couple are just some kind of supernatural beings that are connected to each other somehow. Like a possession of a hawk gods.
I've been enjoying both the new Ultimate Universe and the Absolute Universe so far. These alternate universes have been more interesting to me than the main universes recently. I hope they continue to take full advantage of it being an alternate universe and make interesting changes to the origins of their characters and also let these characters progress in a way they may not be able to in the main universes.
... No its not. Its yet another edgy complete subversion of some of the league. It's the Zack Synder verse all over again. And the Absolute Waller event was a fucking random, reduant dumb plot

Great video Professor Jenna! Really excited about the Agatha finale talk! Much love!

Back to back bangersssss 🙌
Loving your videos!! Pls keep making comic book videos. It’s so nice having someone to listen to who reads the new ones😊
already love the channel ! can’t wait to see what you do next (interested to hear about what other titles you pick up every month) 🔥🔥

What’s up Jenna you legend love to see you grinding on your own and still coming back together with the Fantastic Four for PHASE HERO!!!!!
Awesome stuff! I would love to get your thoughts on Ram Vs new gods as well. That book is looking all kinds of crazy!

I hope they continue to take full advantage of it being an alternate universe and make interesting changes to the origins of their characters and also let these characters progress in a way they may not be able to in the main universes.
Hearing about all these books are making me say shut up and take my money! DC all-in is exactly what DC needed right now.
Here before this channel gets a million subscribers
Do you think Wally West will be the Flash of Gunns DCU?
i thought they couldn't make superman hotter :/
...
No its not. Its yet another edgy complete subversion of some of the league.
