    I kinda love how the two guys a couple of years back Sal was kinda like "not my cup of tea", is now his favorite guests (King and Chip)

    • @superjlk_9538
      @superjlk_9538 Před 3 lety +26

      I still think he dislikes King’s Batman but he likes his other stuff

    • @seand7042
      @seand7042 Před 3 lety +22

      Yeah he's always liked his Miracle and Vision so maybe people think he dislike him is because batman media tends to overshadow damn near everything else in comics

    • @vitanpatel2061
      @vitanpatel2061 Před 3 lety +9

      Sal has always liked vision and Mr miracle. But recent years have increased stuff he loves than he doesn't and built and amazing rapport with King. and u can see the change in how he talks about in off the rack etc.

    43:50 If anyone's curious, the extra panels in Kingdom Come that Sal's referring to come from Geoff John's JSA run where Kingdom Come Superman gets stranded on new earth and joins the JSA for a bit. I believe the story is called Thy Kingdom Come.

    As a little PSA the Kingdom Come ending Sal references is from the end of Geoff Johns's Justice Society story where he brought in Kingdom Come Superman and did a whole mini sequel/sidequel. Its pretty fun, and has gorgeous Alex Ross covers with little bits of interiors peppered in.

    I just saw the preview released by DC for Supergirl. Holy shit do I love this art - this looks fun and lighthearted and I cannot wait to read this. Honestly it kinda reminds me in tone to that recent Jimmy Olson series (I hope so - I would love to see Tom King have some fun on a book) damn Tom is there any chance that you might include some Amethyst anywhere anytime soon? Plus c’mon we need to see Tom Kings Ambush Bug! I am feeling like a total D list DC character fan today.....pssst Tom remember Shockwave from Blue Devil #2? Hell yeah

    The pages Sal was referencing are from the end of Thy Kingdom Come with that ending which was from Johns’ JSA run. It’s not a great story, but those ending pages are amazing. They are not in the Absolute Kingdom Come edition I own, but I wish they were.
