When Johnny Storm is killed in the negative zone fighting off the annihilation wave. Awesome moment for sure.
Oh man! That issue was haunting.
I was thinking the same thing, I get chills just thinking about it
Never heard of that till reading this sounds dope though!
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.
OMG
I feel like the biggest Superman character that was introduced after Reign of the Supermen was probably Jon Kent.
i agree one hundred percent and personally it drives me crazy that dc won't deage Jonathan Samuel Kent Superboy back as his little 10 year old self
@@TevyaSmolka (The Rock's voice: ) It doesn't matter what you want! lol
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.
Josh on the couch for something like 90's Superboy would be a very fun episode
Gotta get him on the couch at some point right?!
I feel like Jon Kent is probably one of the biggest Superman characters introduced post-Reign of the supermen
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.
Probably Manchester Black for new Superman characters, would’ve loved Christian Bale as Dr Doom
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.
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.
Nova ripping out Annihilus’s intestines was such an awesome scene
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.
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.
Jon kent would be my guess for biggest recent Superman character, also maybe Kenan Kong
Closest thing I can think to compare the moment of the Spider-man Black Suit would be the original Super Saiyan transformation from Dragon Ball
So i have a question, what is joshua’s reaction to the massive amount of flatline love? She even has a whole fanbase, the general public seems to enjoy her character.
I legit just read his robin run and flatline is one of my new fav dc characters
I’m trying to get all of the triangle era of Superman, mostly done
Always a goodtime when Sal and Josh are chatting comics.
even when i’m not entirely familiar with the writer, these episodes are such invaluable listens for insight into the industry and the creative process of these artists, keep up the awesome work!
It's good to see Josh's writer beard growing in pretty full. Another month of a snowstorm and he'd go full Alan Moore white
This was a lovely conversation between you two (: I really love seeing/hearing the passion.
Josh has the right idea with having two kids. During an emergency you can play man to man instead of zone defense
My wife and I literally do this in a lot of situations, we have two boys and when we go out we just pair off and it’s really a lot easier.
That storm was brutal! I had my wisdom teeth out that morning and lost power for 3 days. I had to drink cold broth… glad you made it Josh!
I used to get the majority of my comics at a local grocery store off a spinner. I kept them in a card board box with handles, no bags or boards.
I've also got a Brubaker shelf, but it is just the stuff with Phillips. His Batman work is with the rest of my Batman stuff (except The Man Who Laughs collection because it has the Gotham noir one shot they did together)
I don’t know if Josh will read this but: With James Gunn spearheading the DCU is there anything that your hoping to see in this new universe? This was awesome as always! I’m sorry about you losing power during that storm Josh, that’s sucks. Stay cool!
any news on the lazarus squad? like bringing rose, respawn, or connor back into the story?
Yess we need a Lazarus squad reunion
Loved the Lazarus squad I hope they return♥️
This was freaking fantastic
My guess would be first appearances Bart Allen's Impulse, Kyle Rayner Green Lantern and Connor Kent's Superboy which are mostly around today.
Sadly my local comic book store does not have a dollar bin but all there comics are already bagged and boarded for no extra charge
I didn’t have a comic shop where I grew up I didn’t start going to comic shop till I was a young teen it was a 4 and half hour drive I had to do every second weekend sometimes every week to go to a special type of doctor clinic and my treat afterwards if we had time was going to comic shop than after going for pizza at pizza restaurant those where fun times and when stop for gas and stuff we go to arcade I got to play tekken so it was tekken and comics for my weekends for a long time.
Hi Joshua i just wanted to ask if there are other plans for Flatline beyond Batman and Robin? Also does she have a last name? Her fans need to know ❤
Agreed!!!
Peak is back
Do you have any more plans/cameos planned for taila al ghul in batman & robin?
I don't have any big questions for Josh, but if he does come back, I would love to see what he thinks of Kong Kenan (who never splashed as big as Jon, but his solo is fantastic, and I would welcome seeing Josh do something with him in the same token as he did Conner with Superman #8)

@@comicpopreturns Sorry, wrote this while doing dishes lol, meant "when he does come back"
Welcome to winter Joshua
For iconic moments? JLA/AVENGERS issuse 4 cover.. superman holding thors hammers and caps shield. I remember seeing that in the comic shop and losing my mind.
Livewire was slightly after that death/Regin of era and she's a villian very I really like.
Hows bout 'The chained' ;)
And Kingsharks's first apperence is in a superboy book shortly after doomsday first appearance in the 90's.
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?
YESS
Can you do an episode of Back Issues where you rehash the original Crisis? I would love to hear your thoughts on the Crisis being a back door entrance of the Charlton characters and Earth 4.
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.
Hey Josh, you inspire me as a writer and I absolutely love your Superman. I was wondering if, when you have a pitch for a comic book publisher, do you write a script first or wait until the pitch is green lit and then write issue 1. Thanks so much for your response
Phalanx. Your king has returned!
Ultron should return to the phalanx.
TV little house ftw
How much is the first Appearance of Bloodshot now?
Josh is talking about Harry Potter I bet when he says something he wants to do that has never had a comic. Just a hunch I’m probably wrong.
Also can you please confirm that Damian and Nika will stay together so we can sleep at night 😭 don’t hurt them please we love them
seriously i cant have them split or end up bad terms 💔
Do we count Connor Kent?
I think they were thinking about characters who were introduced after the entire death and return saga. Otherwise the 4 Supermen would definitely all count.
I feel the same way about Avatar 2. I went in on an edible, so I thoroughly enjoyed the vibes of the water and everything, then the movie was long enough I sobered up enough to be emotionally invested. Honestly the ideal way to watch that movie 1:10:18
Just saying that Allstars are much better when you do of a more traditional Elseworlds Exchange, not an interview.
Hasn't really been that in a long time!
Idk, I enjoy Sal and Josh going on tangents.
@@mitchellregan21 That's what I meant. This is not an interview.
@@CNTconnoisseur Ah ok, I misunderstood
Rogol Zaar
