This video is my full review of Ultimate Spider-Man #2 by Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto. This refreshing new vision for Peter Parker and Spider-Man continues to unfold after such a powerful first issue. After choosing to embrace the powers he was denied, Peter must now learn how to be Spider-Man as an adult, a father, and a husband. And the results are truly amazing. Enjoy!

This video is my full review of Ultimate Black Panther #1 by Bryan Hill and Stefano Casalli. This newly-rebooted Ultimate universe continues to evolve in major ways after the events of Ultimate Invasion. And now, Wakanda is set to become the front lines for who will control the future of this new Marvel universe.
King T’Challa finds himself in the midst of an emerging conflict. Khonshu and Ra are waging war on the rest of Africa. And T’Challa has no Avengers to aid him. It sets the stage for a war the likes of which we’ve never seen before as the chaos of this new Ultimate universe continues to evolve. Enjoy!

In preparation for the Super Bowl, I made this video sharing some personal experiences with how I’ve watched this incredible game and why it means so much to me. I’ve been a big football fan all my life and the Super Bowl is the ultimate goal for all those who play it.
And while I’ve watched many great Super Bowls over the year, the one I remember watching most fondly was Super Bowl XLII when the New York Giants upset the undefeated New England Patriots. It was a hell of an experience and one we may never see again in football. But it gets to the heart of why I love the Super Bowl so much. Enjoy!

In this video, I explore the world of fame, fortune, and celebrity. And for people of a certain age, none achieved more of that than Michael Jackson. While his legacy in the annuls of pop culture might be a bit mixed these days, it’s hard to overstate just how big an icon he was.
But as monumental a figure he might have been, I strongly believe that NOBODY should ever be as famous as him ever again. That kind of fame might not even be possible anymore. But I feel it’s worth revisiting. Enjoy!

This is video another entry in my ongoing “Jack’s Comic Gems” collection. And in this gem, I highlight a comic centered around the Lex Luthor, the arch nemesis to Superman and an unapologetic villain by which so many are measured.
For much of his history, Lex Luthor has been fairly transparent in his motivations. He HATES Superman. He hates everything he represents and embodies. He is, by every measure, a self-centered narcissist who believes himself to be superior to everyone on Earth.
But this story, Lex Luthor: Man of Steel, manages to add some depth to Lex’s villainy. However, it doesn’t try to make him more sympathetic. It doesn’t even try to vindicate or justify all the awful things that he does. Instead, it helps us understand what makes this man tick and it’s definitely a story worth checking out. Enjoy!

This video covers some of the concerns I have regarding the future of Ultimate X-Men. When this series was announced after Ultimate Invasion, we learned that Peach Momoko will be writing and drawing it. We also learned a bit about the kind of story it’ll tell.
And for the moment, those details have me worried.
I hope those worries are ultimately unfounded. But I thought I’d share them because I think they have major implications for the future of this new Ultimate Universe. Enjoy!

This video is my full review of Ultimate Spider-Man #1 by Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto. This newly-rebooted Ultimate universe is in need of its heroes. But the Peter Parker in this universe never became Spider-Man as a teenager. Instead, he lived a normal life, marrying Mary Jane Watson and having two kids with her.
Now, in wake of the events of Ultimate Invasion, we finally see the origin of a very different, but ultimately refreshing kind of Spider-Man. Enjoy!
