IMPERIUS REX- Episode: 86 - Zábava
I agree divinity is a really awesome series
Great video guys as always, I've been growing to quite enjoy Valiant's universe and their willingness to just go nuts with their creative ideas.
My first video of yours and I must say that you two have good chemistry together, keep the conversation light and funny, and are knowledgeable about comics. I'm going to have to give you both a sub.
Thanks for checking us out and for the sub!
Hell yeah
Sounds interesting.. Great video guys !!
Thanks Buck!
I love when you guys talk about Valiant! I totally agree that Divinity 2 was the best of the group.
After reading most of what Matt Kindt has done for Valiant, I am immediately down to read whatever he writes.
Yeah- he has some great Dark Horse books- like Dept H and Ming MGMT. Totally worth digging into. And they're fairly short series with endings as well. Always a plus.
@@ImperiusRex I've read the first trades of both of those. Seeing the pretty hardcovers behind you each episode makes me really want to invest in all of them.
Valiant is the best comic company going right now, imo. I highly recommend you guys read Kindt's run on XO Manowar, it's all great space stuff then he gets back to Earth and has to deal with the characters from Eternity who come to Australia to take back something the former rock climber guy turned zealot stole.
Think 4 is short, lately they've written 3-issue storyarks!!
How does it read? Are you needing more, or do 3-issues cover it?
I usually am dying for the next issue, so I suppose well! Lol but I haven't kept up since they lost Dinesh & hear they've been better, sadly! Liked Ninja K by gage
Oh yeah I read eternity that series is crazy
Still need to finish Eternity, but I'm watching anyways...
Be Bold Philip!
Awesome sauce as always gents
Thanks Ricky- you're a peach.
As much as I love Valiant, I'm ashamed to admit I'm behind. I love everything about it and I'm saving a Valiant-Ultimate Marvel reading list for the summer. I'm excited for that.
Nice. Love having those epic reads to look forward to. We've been toying with an Ultimate Marvel re-read for years now... I feel like we've only scratched the surface of it on past episodes. There is something coming up in the next month or so that may kick-start it...
I've read a little bit of Valiant, but not this stuff, though I've been fascinated by the idea and the design of the characters since Divinity 1, I knew nothing about the concept of Stalinverse so now I'm super interested, I enjoy seeing characters you know but in slightly different settings.
Yep. Totally worth a read. And the fact that they're so short and complete are a big plus.
Yeah Stalinverse was really insane
It’s been over a year since I finished reading Eternity. Are they making a sequel to this book because I haven’t read any news that they are.
Fabian Ramirez we chatted with half of the creative team in our follow up episode and unfortunately there don’t appear to be any plans for future books.
Really great video guys, so so funny! I’m a big “big 2” guy so anytime you guys give this much attention to books I know nothing about always makes me want to pick them up.
Same here, but this series was fun.
As a "Big 2" reader, what are your favorite reads on the shelf right now?
Imperius Rex
I’m not liking Snyder’s Justice League as much as I thought I would im sorry to say, same with Aaron’s Avengers unfortunately. I much prefer the solo books right now - I know it’s only been going for 2 issues but Cates’ Guardians has been really good, Batman Who Laughs is bone chilling, Aaron’s Thor has been amazing (as if anything else was expected). It came out last year but Mister Miracle is probably the best book I’ve read for a long time, I liked it more than Vision. And Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man gets Peter Parker so right in my opinion, the way Tom Taylor writes Peter Parker is so heart warming it became an instant addition to my pull list. Martian Manhunter is pretty great, too.
What are some of your favourite Big 2 books right now?
@@NTWoo95 I felt the same way about both Snyder's JL and Aaron's Avengers. Expecting a lot better. Haven't read much of Cates, even though he's the Marvel golden boy right now. Troy is loving Al Ewing's Immortal Hulk. We both loved Mister Miracle (and just recorded an upcoming ep on it- so stay tuned). I've been luke warm on Martian Manhunter and Morrison's Green Lantern. Heroes in Crisis has been interesting, albeit a slow burn. Those are the ones that come to mind now
Imperius Rex
Heroes in Crisis is interesting to say the least, it’s not in my favourites because I just don’t know how to feel about it. I keep thinking “okay, the next issue will make me love it”, I kept thinking when we get closer to the end and I know what King is up to I’ll love it and I still don’t know what his game his! What’s he plotting?! Maybe when the whole thing is finished I’ll know exactly how I feel about it.
Well this was fairly....... Valiant of you!
And entertaining!
Ba dum dum tsss
He's here all night, folks.
Hi fellas, haven't seen any of your videos recently, so thanks for (kinda) explaining this series of which I've just ordered the first two arcs off Ebay. Thanks also for making me smile. I was made redundant from my job last week (thanks a LOT, Covid-19!), so it was good to see someone having a laugh, and it was quite infectious! I'm still a bit puzzled, though, about Divinity III, in that there seem to be a whole load of #1's and I'm just not sure which to buy to make up the third arc. I don't buy trades, so do you know of anywhere I can find a reading order for Divinity III - The Stalinverse, please?
Hey Mark, thanks for joining us! Sorry to hear about your work situation. I went through something similar at the start of the year. I hope it works out for you soon.
In the meantime- the Divinity series is a blast, right? In terms of reading orders, the first 2 series are straight forward. 1-4 each, respectively. When it comes to the 3rd series, it's 4 issues (Divinity 3: Stalinverse 1-4), along with 4 one-shot issues that expand the universe a little. Bloodshot, X-O Manowar, Shadowman, and Archer & Armstrong. I don't THINK they need to be read in any specific order. Maybe start with issue 1 of the main series to get up to speed, then toss in the 4 tie-ins, then read the rest of the main series. I think the 4 tie-in issues were under the banner: Divinity III: Heroes of the Glorious Stalinverse. And like I said, they are only 1 issue each, thus all the #1s.
Hope that helps!
@@ImperiusRex Cheers for the empathy, mate! My work situation was caused by a variety of factors, mainly the rubbishness of the British government in NOT dealing effectively with the pandemic, thereby f*cking up the economy til kingdom come, and my employer having no idea what to do apart from running around in a panic and getting rid of half the workforce! Anyway, such is life, eh?
Thanks also for the reading order. I've now purchased all the DivIII floppies, again, from Ebay (my absolute downfall...especially now I have PayPal Credit!), so your reading order'll come in VERY handy when they arrive! Thanks again, fellas, and keep up da good work (Arggghh, I said the "W" word...waaaaaaahhhh...boo-hoo etc, etc)
Good luck my friend! We are living in strange times indeed. But we’ll get through it!
@@ImperiusRexCheers! Oh yeh, did I mention that my wife and I are splitting up once the house sale has gone through? All her idea! Yes, 2020 will be the year I remember for becoming an actual human Country & Western song! Hey, but at least I get t'keep mah dawg!
I have to say that my comics, your channel, Chris's Comic Tropes channel, Earl Grey's channel and my excellent hound have really helped me through this difficult patch, so thanks for your part in my sanity, chaps!

These books sound amazing. Luckily for me, they reprinted the hardcover. Gonna have to get me one of those.
Spring for the leather bound. Custom. Be the baller I know you are.
Troy To The Max haha, maybe I’ll look into that when I’m ballin after college (assuming I won’t get buried under an insurmountable pile of debt from student loans)
@@LostinthesoundSP oof. Good luck with them there loans. I'm still paying mine off. Speaking of, so we have this Patreon....
Troy To The Max I’ve heard. Again, maybe when I’m ballin after college. 😂 hm, maybe I can give up a comic a month
@@LostinthesoundSP Na you're fine. I'm not trying to pressure you into anything. You're good people
#RehireDinesh the man could do no wrong & SO! They need him & Warren Simons back.
