Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry. It's been a while, but y'all got right back into it like riding a bike.
This is Absolute Ultimate UA-cam right here
Sounds like the start of a new show: The Absolute Ultimate Podcast with Rob & Sal
Trademark it before the Secret UA-cam Crisis happens
@@TheGreatDevlin Infinite UA-cam Wars as a follow up
Just wanted to say Thanks to Rob and Sal for the UA-cam surprise. RIP Ben you are missed.
My boys are back!
Fuck. Yes. The Weekly Pull, in any format or amount of former members, is always going to be amazing to watch. Brings me back to my middle school days
These two guys (and one more very missed individual RIP Benny) single handedly sparked my love for comics. Thank y’all for your time and passion for comics.
Rob saying he’s not reading mainline DC when he’s reviewing Williamson’s Superman is the most Rob thing 😂
Marvel: what's your spider man pitch
Hickman: I wanna put peter and mj back together
Marvel:.... So you can start a new ultimate universe
Sal and Rob are UA-cam’s “World’s Finest”. It’s awesome seeing you too collab again! I miss Benny. He would have loved the Deadpool/ Wolverine movie, Absolute DC, and Ultimate Marvel stories.
These two doing a podcast together brings me some joy.
Absolute comics with Sal and Benny was special and so was the weekly pull. I wish we had a show with Rob and Sal just for nostalgia sake
I would like one with andy too.
@@StraightEdge3.16Andy is perfect for the crew. I wish we got more of him
@ He is hilarious.
SON SON SON LEMME TELL YOU SOMETHING.....FEELS LIKE THE WEEKLY PULL AGAIN! Always great seeing you guys together. Brings out the kid in me again (Hope that didn't make you feel too old lol). We need another one with you guys and Joel.
Ooh my goodness Sal, hit after hit after hit after hit(weekly stream with tiff), I tell you, it’s comic pop 2025!!
24:19 East of West referenced my soul has been replenished thank you
Dude can we get these two together even just once a month. There are at least a few books to talk about in the cycle of a month... We all need more of this!
Loving Absolute Wonderwoman. It acknowledges so many things are wrong in the world, but how beautiful it is to have love, empathy, and friendship in spite of it all. Total hope core. Love it.
This was the hit of nostalgia I needed today
Sal and rob together talking really is just we got to keep going and keep living even tho things will never be the same without benny
Great to see you guys again! I remember one of the last time I saw you guys together was when you were streaming with Benny and then out of nowhere it was announced Hugh Jackman was returning as Wolverine. Still miss Benny so much.
Holy crap!! I’d love to see ComicsExplained more often!!!
Two of my favorite comic people. Rob is the GOAT ,with comics explained. I love seeing you guys talk comics together.
IT'S 🤬ING ROB!!! 😂That's awesome! I can't wait to watch this.
Just spied the signed pic of Tiff w/ Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick...Too much....awesomeness...in one...photo!! ::Ark of the Covenant opening sound::
It’s great to see you back together!!!
Love the Sal and Rob episodes of anything. COMICPOP WOOO
This is the coolest! So happy to see Sal and Rob interact on camera after so long!
Make this a monthly show.
Like, yesterday 👌🏿 😮
This wins the internet today.
Am I the only one trying to figure out who is in the photo next to Sal's wedding photo?
It's Tiffany, Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick!
The Absolute and the ultimate comics are ticking all the boxes for me. They’re fantastic
I could listen to you two talk all day, please collab more
Holys***!!! 😮 Can’t believe y’all just casually dropped this podcast!!
This was so fun, I hope you both host something at a con soon
Great to see everyone back and god i miss you guys so much. :)
It was great to see Rob again. Catching up on my Comic Pop Returns videos.
We need this duo weekly!
Glad yall back talk comics together always been a huge fan of the weekly pull
This needs to be a regular thing. Great video.
Sal and Rob gushing about comics brings me a special warmth in my soul.
Haha I was the one who replied to Rob's tweet saying "Didn't they already do Cap being winter soldier in what-if". Cool to be referenced but yeah, they definitely could've dived into it more and fleshed out the idea instead did just being a small plot with Peggy. Definitely worthy of its own thing.
YOOOOO Rob and Sal together!!! Let's go!
Ive been reading trades for a few years but Ultimate Spider-Man is my first time I’ve gone “I’m buying this monthly and buying the trade afterwards” and it’s so fun and exciting. I was doing that with Ultimates as well but after I realised I didn’t pre order issue 5 I just never went back so I’m going to wait for the trade there.
I need to read Absolute Wonder Woman still and I wasn’t sold on issue one of Absolute Superman but I’ve heard great things so I’ll be going back.
I have been reading Absolute Batman (like everyone else it seems) and it’s been great.
This is exactly what both Marvel and DC needed.
I’d like to see an Absolute Nightwing, whatever that looks like and an Ultimate Daredevil written by JMD. I’m shocked we haven’t seen Daredevil yet even if isn’t Matt.
ROOOOOOOOOB!!!!! I had to click on this video just to make sure it was my guy. Immediate like 👍🏾
Oh man this is great for us day ones....can't wait to dive in. We need Joel back for one. The OG weekly pull back at least once ot twice a year just a check in like this! Thanks for making this happen guys. It's cool following u all individually but man those weekly get togethers just talking comics were so dope getting everyone's opinions at once on everything going on.
I'm enjoying the Absolute and Ultimate universe lines. In general, I still prefer the Ultimate universe right now, especially since it's more established. I mirror Sal on the Absolute line, Batman is the best, Wonder Woman is good, and Superman I'm not super sold on just yet.
The Ultimate line is just killing it. I love the four mainline books, and Ultimate Wolverine has a decent if safe start. Ultimate Spider-Man 13 had my jaw on the floor with some of the reveals. 6160 Ultimate Universe got me back into comics in a big way, and I even went out of my way to get Ultimate Invasion in trade and hunt down the Ultimate Universe free comic book day issue to get the full story. Peach Momoko's Ultimate X-Men is so radically different from everything else, I can't help but adore it. Ultimate Black Panther is just a solid book. Ultimates has had several top tier issues. The fact that it's all leading up to a return of The Maker makes it all feel like we're building to a huge event, and I can't wait to see what happens.
I had planned on sitting out the absolute runs, but I'm hearing so much good from so many people that have directed me to books I really enjoy. Probably gonna jump on the trades when they drop. Oh, It's also cool to see you guys together again 🍻
Well considering both titles were the best selling comics of last year, I would say yes.
But let me give you a better idea of how good the new universes are. My sister has been getting some of the Ultimate and Absolute comics for me, as she lives closer to a comic book store compared to me, so she has been reading them before she comes and visits me. A few days ago she was reading Absolute Batman, and her roommate saw her reading it. She was curious about it, and so my sister let her read the issues she had. She liked it so much she decided to read Absolute Wonder Woman and Absolute Superman comics my sister had. Now my sister's roommate wants to go to the comic book store to buy the Absolute comics for herself and even pick up some of the Ultimate comics, as they are easy jumping on points for her.
The new universes are such good jumping on points for new readers, people who weren't reading comics are taking interest in them.
Great episode, man love it when Rob is on the pod
Joshua Williamson’s Superman is dope. Anything with Doomsday automatically gets me hyped and I buy every issue.
The Absolute universe is so good.
Stopped reading comics a lot after DC Death Metal but this convo got me looking forward to the collected editions of Absolute Superman. Good job advertising the books
Rob on Elseworlds?! Man, let me tell you something!
20:26 as a guy born in 2004 the scene where Thomas died hit very hard. I’m an adult (ish) now but I can remember what it was like at that age to have to do shooting drills and the feeling at least in me as an older kid to protect my classmates was horrific now that I look back
Been waiting years for DC to do an Ultimate Universe, would have liked something less dark and edgy, but it helps me cope with what bendis and tom taylor did to Jon Kent, but Mark Waids' Worlds Finest, JLU and Batman and Robin Year One are amazing!!!!!!!
I love the new Ultimate Marvel universe
I've been waiting YEARS for this!!!!! YEARS!!!!!!!!
I love the video. It’s genuinely great love seeing you too together. Goddamn does it pull on my heart strings a bit back to the weekly poll when everyone was there miss that.
Love the rule pop up! Also this is great you both have good chemistry and respect for each other. Not all youtubers pulls this off but this is great. I'll appreciate it if you both could do this again if not, I still appreciate the video.
Yay!!!! Rob is back!!!! I’m so happy!!!!
Loved to see this in my feed!
Dude...love! You guys are great
This really brought a smile to my face guys thanks for this long live the original Three
I have not picked up a comic since just before doomsday clock. Im tempted to get the ultimate's because reed doom, ultimate spider-man because spider-man and I did pick up ultimate wonder woman because hell warrior with big sword.
Side note did anybody else know Alan Moore released a tome on magic like a giant book about spells and stuff.
ROB!!! Best Thursday this year so far.
As someone that was skeptical of Snyder’s writing I didn’t pick up absolute batman. But I watched a few minutes of this, Sal. Stopped. Went and read issue 1 and I agree. It is a good story and I will be catching up. As a lifelong Bat fan who read trades from the public library as a kid, Absolute Batman feels a lot more like the 70s and 80s stories I read that made me fall in love with Batman as a character
Goated collab
Seeing these two together takes me back like 8yrs ago vibes...good times..good times
I’ve been waiting for you guys to do a video for so long omg love u both!!!
This is the content I come for. Two comic scholars yapping.
Yes! Love seeing you guys together! Hope ya'll are enjoying Ultimate Marvel and Absolute DC as much as I am!
Don't let this be the last Elseworlds Exchange with Rob, pencil in some recording sessions because this was great.
Comic Pop Explained! Best crossover!
Did these two used to pod together? I was excited to hear because I love both of their work
I'm proposing this here. It would be cool if Sal, Rob, Joel and Hussan all did a show together
5:24 Sal, that show exists unfortunately and it’s called Pennyworth lol
Great video! ❤
Well this was a great surprise. Love it
The ultimate writer/Spiderman dynamic should be that the villains are trying to ruin Peter's perfect life and the writers are trying to get him out of that situation.
Is that Hobbes, Kermit, and Homestar Runner?!
The trinity
Yessss!Sal and Rob!
Oh man the nostalgia right here. Hope this isn't a one-off.
Always for the algorithm and the best UA-cam folks ever.
all we’re missing is benny, rip a comic goat. but amazing video!!!!!!
So glad Rob gave a shout-out to Batman: The Imposter
I want them to talk about power rangers prime (ultimate universe for power rangers), but i know they won't
Yes! I’d love to see a new podcast with both you guys on it
How could you NOT like East of West?! Art and story were both incredible imo
This was an amazing podcast. Just like old times
53:23 I keep getting the feeling that May is going to be the one who dies. And with Richard being this world’s Black suit Spider-Man I fear that it might be his fault.
Ohhhhh I missed you guys!!
More of this man please you and rob are comics UA-cam this is worlds finest
Rob is going to have the time of his life when he reads the name of the character who wields the infinity gauntlet in the Ultimates issue.
Holy shit has Rob’s voice gotten even deeper?? It’s been so long!
what is ROB doing here!!!!
SO cool!
It's strange, I didn't like Wonder Woman's redesign for Rebirth, but giving her a buster sword just works and I can't explain it
Hell yeah, a surprise Sal & Rob video
Duggan's X-Men suffered from being a traditional superhero book amidst a sea of forward-thinking contemporaries in its line. It had a thankless job, and I think it executed it quite well.
41:15 with how much that came out of his X-men having to detour or alter due to him not being able to use Namor or Franklin like he wanted to, he probably realized that spider-man in main marvel was going to be that but worse since it's JUST peter parker he has to play off not the hundreds of mutants.
This is so nostalgic. Bring on more Joel too! And i absolutely get the burnout thing. Sometimes I'll take s month or two off and then dive back into stuff so that I feel refreshed and can reignite excitement. Same for gaming or podcast too
Ayye rob lol when rob was talking Hickman and 4 issue minis i was waiting for the mention of a.v.a lol that being said I don't know if rob is a fan of the alien universe? Movies? Stories? I don't want to call it a franchise it's seems to diminish it and kinda makes my stomach churn
I power through the sandwich 😓 1:31
