    When Johnny Storm is killed in the negative zone fighting off the annihilation wave. Awesome moment for sure.

    The biggest Superman character introduced post 90s is obviously Rogol Zaar.

      Manchester Black (2001)

    I'm shocked SHOCKED when Josh asked for a big new Superman villain Sal didn't say "Oh Rogol Zar." immediately.

    The last conversation you two had about the level of maturity. The question of what is too much to people; was nail on the head! I've always been thinking about that conflict. I'm struggling to enjoy different stories because of this roadblock.

  • @pattongilbert
    @pattongilbert 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    I’d say the biggest ones are definitely:
    Livewire, Jon Kent, Manchester Black, Natasha Irons (Steel), Super-Man (Kong Kenan), Mercy Graves, Calvin Ellis, Superboy Prime
    Otho-Ra, Osul-Ra, and Marilyn Moonlight have a good chance of being added.
    Possibly the Chained and Red Cloud as well.

      I agree with these although Superboy Prime was introduced back in 1985 during the original Crisis. Maybe also Bloodsport thanks to The Suicide Squad.

    He didn't break the bank like Doomsday, but Manchester Black would be my pick. A fantastic villain who has only been made more relevant now.

    It thrills me to hear Joshua talking up 'Dwellings' - such a great mini-series. I think Tiffany would really have fun with it.
    I remember DC tried giving Conduit a red-hot try across all the Superman titles during Zero Hour. He had a cool look, in all in acid green and glossy black, and he even had his own action figure in the 1996 'Superman Man of Steel' toy line.
    I think it's time Conduit had a reintroduction and finally get his flowers.

    One of my biggest regrets for selling a comic is actually the whole Secret Wars series. I found 11 out of the 12 issues including issue number 8 in a dollar bin at a flea market in good condition. The only issue that was missing was issue 4 and I picked that up on eBay for a couple more dollars. I sold that a few years ago and made a decent amount on it but still regret it. I have it digitally, but I love that story and for me finding 11 out of 12 parts of a limited series with like every superhero ever on the cover was one of the highlights of my childhood.

    Livewire is a somewhat major villain (At least in the sense that most readers know her) who first appeared in 06, but that's because she was originally created for the Timmverse cartoon in 97.

    My local shop bags and boards for free, but my first LCS didn't bag and board at all. When I was younger, about ten years ago, my brother and I would cut up cardboard boxes for the boards. I don't know where my brother got the bags, and I don't know why he didn't just look it up online and buy a bunch.

    Hi Joshua!! I have a lot of questions so I'm just gonna put them all here
    1) Does Nika/Flatline have a last name yet? Cause she's been around a while and as a fan im just really curious as to what it is, and is Nikas last name going to be tied into some future plot? Is that why we haven't learned it yet? Or have you just not thought of one (which is fine♥️)
    2) Will we see anyone from the Lazarus Tournament besides Nika? I really loved that whole group and I'd love to see them again working together again.
    3) Will Nika show up just this one time in Batman and Robin? Or will she leave and come back from time to time, I hope this isn't the last we see from her
    4) I love Nika and Damian together, let it be as a couple or as just friends, will we get to see more of them in the future?
