This run has some of my favorite moments ever, Eternity in chains, Blue Marvel one shotting the Ultimate Hulk, and that splash page of the Ultimate Ultimates.
@@iskathegr8 Well to be fair ultimate Hulk is nowhere near as powerful as mainstream Hulk, plus he was also not shown to be enraged at the time. Ultimate Hulk has also ben over powered by ultimate Thor, Ben Grimm, and Hercules in the past so him being K.O'd by Blue Marvel is not very surprising.
@@neganrex5693 I seriously doubt youve been reading Marvel comics, post Secret Wars stories are some of the best ones, while allowing things like the Ultimate line, which had awesiome stories despite being badly executed, and 2099 to come back with their previous pasts but with a modern flavor. Theyre really some of the best setup storylines, which were expanded on Infinity Wars
I like blue marvel but hes a deus machina, the worst kind. The only reason he exists, is to solve any problem. Thats the difference between him and any superman character, and why i dislike him when hes in a story (while liking his design).
You know, they really need a whiteboard with important characters on it that they can say "hey, I'm using this guy. Nobody touch them until I'm done with this arc."
Rob back then was more mellow and told more of the story. Now he's more energetic but goes off the story. Personally, I like both ways but I wish he'd make a video like his old ones every now and then. Some stories may call for energy while others more mellow.
I actually miss his old opening music. I understand you get more time for explaining without it but there was just something to it that got me pumped for some comics lore
There is a real lack of content around "The Maker." This surprised me as I feel he is one of the most fascinating villains. Would love to see an overview of him done by you!!
@Chiafade now Absurd. Many stories since the 60s have featured characters defying cosmic entities, starting with Reed Richards outwitting Galactus. Stop bitching about today's stories.
@Chiafade now While I agree that cosmic entities should remain these's powerhouses and not canon fodder to make lesser beings seem powerful, there's no need to insult a fellow comic fan. Bad form, poor taste.
Wtf jim starlin the man who wrote thanos infinity ending who made thanos defeat everyone yea that guy made the living tribunal and the one above all look like fodders and it doesn't even make a sense
@Fake Donut Operator she never loses. Also for real comic book readers these are favorites. These are not all of the favorites but these are all favorites.
I think the evolution of Galactus through this is awesome. Galactus is given a lot of personality. I also love how this shows just on what power level the molecule man is at right now. Casually creating an entire Omniverse in a box, just to make a point? He's definitely far stronger than pre-retcon.
yeah, that didn't make sense to me. especially him being defeated by order & chaos, like that could really happen. the celestials can beat order & chaos
The living Tribunal is supposed to be number 2 on the marvel power scaling outside of Thanos with the infinity gauntlet/heart of the universe and the beyonders nobody should be able to stop him.
This absolutely served its purpose! I had no idea about this amazing story line within Marvel! Its my honest goal to make a new genre of music entirely dedicated to Marvel influence, and yes its Electronic. I have never had much of a collection of super hero stuff and Marvel stuff, but i found a-lot of my deceased brothers old card and man i have been nerd'n out HARD! When i make my fortune i hope to collect as many magazines as i can and read each one! The marvel universe is saving me, one story at a time. Thank you so much Rob for that amazing commentary and VOICE! Much love brother!
@@plinyelder8156 Valeria Richards/Reed Richards, Victor von Doom, Tony Stark, Tchalla, Bruce Wayne etc are the most intelligent HUMANS ON EARTH. Not the universe dork. Guys like brainiac Thanos and Kang etc are unquantifiably more intelligent than any human. Thanos has acquired the most powerful artifacts in the multiverse, including all 6 stones, The cosmic cube, heart of the universe, the Astral regulator. Thanos isn't close to being on par with abstract or celestial power beings yet simply using his mind, he's become the most powerful entity in the multiverse many times. Black panther more intelligent than Thanos??? LOL LOL LOL.

The comment at 26:27 about Thanos trashing all of The Ultimates individually isn't correct. At no time does Blue Marvel engage Thanos directly. Blue Marvel hangs back with T'Challa and Monica as Captain Marvel and MAC tag team Thanos. This was a key issue with many readers who felt that Ewing never gave Blue Marvel enough showings, while at the same time establishing that Anti-Man was exponentially more powerful, despite the fact that both men's powers are derived from the same exact source. It was the equivalent of the Justice League fighting Darkseid without Superman ever entering the fray. Pathetic. Note: As powerful as Anti-Man is, Blue Marvel has beaten his ass by himself on several occasions. Thanos would have wished that he had a Cosmic Cube on hand by the time that Blue Marvel was done with him, IF the writer had the courage to pen him properly.
Thank you!!! I was like Blue Marvel isn't weaker than Conor Sims that makes nonsense! He beat him and King Hyperion by himself. Blue Marvel is higher than folks give him credit for.
It's just that they were writing Connor as a cosmic (like a Herald not like Eternity) and no one has ever written BM the same. So it seemed at least Anti-Man has BM beat in versatility.
@@VLorenzoStone Conner has Adam beat in terms of the favorable writer's pen. That's it. Consider that Adam and Conner are two sides of the same coin. One is stable (Adam), the other unstable (Conner). Galactus making Conner his herald did not in any way affect his powers, just his lucidity and mental clarity. In other words, Galactus made Conner stable, which is what Adam was and is all along. Under Ewing's pen Conner was allowed to display his full range of abilities. Adam? Not so much, which is ridiculous. Both men can do the same thing, from god-like strength, to impenetrable force fields, to manipulation of molecules and subatomic particles, to the "limitless" energy reserves at their command. I get it: Sometimes villains get the edge, as where heroes are mostly bland until pushed. But Adam's treatment is borderline egregious. Ewing started something that has followed Adam even into the pages of the current Doom series, where he seems mostly inept and out of place. It's sad. Marvel doesn't do really powerful heroes well, but they are especially horrible when it comes to doing powerful African American men justice. This sort of thing doesn't happen to Sentry, Thor, Hulk, etc., unless it's a plot device. It's laughable.
At 42:10 the propane they use is Strickland propane. So dope they put that in their. And also this ended absolutely horribly such a quick anticlimactic ending to such a epic event.
Counter earth is on the same rotational track as earth but 180° behind or ahead so it cant be seen ever from earth because it is blocked by the sun but should have been discovered by eventual space travel.
Al Ewing was clearly trying to be the next Jim Starlin or Dan Abnett, but like Jonathan Hickman before him, everything he did was pretty much reset. At least we got to keep Goldlactus.
He should write the cosmic stuff he's great at it. If I were Marvel have him and Dan Avnett run that entire corner. Give Al Ewing Carol Danverse, Silver Surfer, Nova (Sam Alexander) and Darkhawk, Give Abnett Adam Warlock, Nova(Richard Rider), Guardians of the Galaxy, and Blue Marvel and Alpha Flight (they should really take Carol off that team and add Adam and Monica since they fit that team better)
45:31 The history when The Never Queen was introduce is REALLY GOD DAMN ARMAZING, i really enjoy that arc of Silver Surfer, and i really believe she is a plot devise, she can open up the any history to any kind of posibilities. Is really fun to use on writing
@justin medford I wasn't talking about the ultimate universe comics, I meant the 616 Ultimates, lead bu the Blue Marvel. The only book that kept the silver surfer level cosmic storytelling. Some of Marvels best work. Of the Ultimate universe i only read Miles Morales Spider-Man, not Parker. Good, but i prefered the ultimate avengers/ultimates. The later Xmen were good too.
Hey rob just wanted tell you im a huge fan and absolutely love the content on your channel, thank you so much for helping people understand comics, it really opens up the fanbase for marvel and dc, so great job and keep it up your making us comic guys look good!! Thanks brother
Im watching these while trying to kick heroin. Just discovered your videos today, Rob. I especially enjoyed the secret wars episode. Thank you for the content and taking the time to make these. It's greatly appreciated.
Have you ever thought of covering H.P. Lovecrafts books? It would be cool to hear you explain the Call of Cthulhu or any of his books. The lore behind his cult horror is amazing. You could also explain the influence of H. P. Lovecrafts novel on modern entertainment. Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Dunwich Building and Point Lookout in Fallout 3 and many more.
And all the Lovecraft lore I marvel. Cthulhu has appeared a couple times. Shuma Gorath is basically yog Sothoth. And don’t forget the tentacled creature from the opening of guardians of the galaxy 2
@comicsexplained you should do a series on “strangest Marvel and DC characters” touching on the most unique and potentially underrated characters in these universes.
Seriously, why aren't there ever links in the descriptions for the videos you mention? I want links to the stories before the one we're on the one after the one we're on and for the tie-ins if possible but at least the ones you mention please
I really like the art work in Al Ewing's 2015, The Ultimates. My question is, is issue #12 the final issue to Al Ewing's 2015, The Ultimates? I notice there are 2 volumes. Volume 1 has issues #1-5 and Volume 2 has issues #6-12. I love the Cosmic lore.
I really wish you'd release these as podcasts as well. I love the videos but I don't always have time to sit down for over an hour. I feel like your content would fit podcast format very well, would make it super digestible.
I know what u mean bro.. The mellow roots. Im not hating the growth. I just remember the gold good ole civil war days. Ya know what im saying.. Hes grown a bit since then wouldnt ya say??

@@Sheffdawg2305 I know that, but the marvel populous isn't really a fan of her, I know that some people are fans but not the majority, sorry if you didn't get my joke lol.
@@0testamony that's because the Marvel populous is full of people that are movie fans pretending to be real fans. Also I know you were joking and I got it, I'm just a bitter asshole who's tired of people pretending to be real fans when in reality they are just movie fans.
I was very hurt when 1) Ultimates became Ultimate Squared bcz the artwork became utter garbage. Like who tf ok'd going from Kenneth Rocafort to whoever they allowed to throw up on the pages Of Ultimate Squared & 2) Marvel ended the comic bcz it was seriously one of the best things coming out of Marvel.
43:30 Galactus didn't "whisk" him away, he chucked his ass half way across the universe lol

Throw implies effort. Whisking is effortless. I think this is his reasoning.

Your voice reminds me of "Donovan's Sharp's" one of the best voices on TH-cam.
I really like the art work in Al Ewing's 2015, The Ultimates.
My question is, is issue #12 the final issue to Al Ewing's
2015, The Ultimates?
I notice there are 2 volumes. Volume 1
has issues #1-5 and Volume 2 has issues #6-12.
I love the
Cosmic lore.
12 issues ( Vol 4) & then 10 (Vol 5).
Ahhhh the quiet monotone sounds of Rob from the Early Comic's Explained......Before "Mannnn, let me tell you something."
I hate how they constantly change EVERYTHING
I really wish you'd release these as podcasts as well. I love the videos but I don't always have time to sit down for over an hour. I feel like your content would fit podcast format very well, would make it super digestible.

He loves GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLD
Dude you fuckin killin me hahahahaha
You made this back in October, but I really enjoyed it in March. Well done. And thanks for an informative update that could be followed.
Ahh this video reminds me of Rob at his prime, so Mellow.
Isn't he still in his prime considering the size of his channel?
Lol are you saying he's on the decline? I'd say him today is him in his prime. Dude sounds more relaxed and comfortable in speaking.
Let's just say he opened up a little more over the years
He recorded this a long time ago. Style change @ 10:30.
I know what u mean bro.. The mellow roots. Im not hating the growth. I just remember the gold good ole civil war days. Ya know what im saying.. Hes grown a bit since then wouldnt ya say??
Idk why, but Mistress Death making Thanos immortal makes me think of Aqua Teen Hunger Force where Shake tries to make Happy Time Harry immortal by throwing him off a cliff and turning him into a Highlander lmao
I thought you said Jim Henson and now I can't get cosmic kermet the frog out of my head
lol
The ultimates is such a baller story man! You should do mister miracle next!
So i got the DC app and im wondering where should i begin with for the flash and batman? Im trying to get into American Comics but there is like 70+ years of comics and im honestly lost. Can anyone help?
With Flash, for Wally, give Vol. 2 a shot. For Batman, Year One and onward. Anything Post-Crisis for either really.
@@jacobcollier23 thanks!
@@davidrozo766 No problem! I hope you find some enjoyable reads out of it!
I'm sure some other folks will chime in with some of their favorites to narrow it down further for you.
I personally restarted with the new 52 then to rebirth. For all. Batman year one I think is an alternate earth I could be wrong. Regardless new 52 restarted the canon if I'm recalling correctly but I just got back into comics. So I'm definitely not the most knowledgeable
So i looked it up an yea im correct. Batman year zero or zero year is the official new beginning in new 52
awwwww hell yeah. this feels like an OG Rob vid
Now I know that Rob got paid a lot to say Squirrel Girl is a marvel favorite.
I doubt it. For people who actually grew up reading comics she is a fan favorite.
@@Sheffdawg2305 I know that, but the marvel populous isn't really a fan of her, I know that some people are fans but not the majority, sorry if you didn't get my joke lol.
@@0testamony that's because the Marvel populous is full of people that are movie fans pretending to be real fans. Also I know you were joking and I got it, I'm just a bitter asshole who's tired of people pretending to be real fans when in reality they are just movie fans.
The background parchment Print look like Whis (angel) & deity of destruction Lord Beeres. Ironic symbolic characters in all anime are inevitablem
Unicron Galactus
Man this aesthetics are awesome
Finish punisher max
I fell asleep and not cause I got bored but between the music and robs voice it just made me so calm lol
I was very hurt when 1) Ultimates became Ultimate Squared bcz the artwork became utter garbage. Like who tf ok'd going from Kenneth Rocafort to whoever they allowed to throw up on the pages Of Ultimate Squared & 2) Marvel ended the comic bcz it was seriously one of the best things coming out of Marvel.
Nathaniel Clark I just got into The Ultimates earlier this year, bought them off eBay. Squared artwork took a dive Imo.
“We’ll cover that next year”
