Ultimate X-Men: Concerns, Complications, And Implications For Ultimate Marvel

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

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!

Ultimate Invasion: My (Mixed) Thoughts On The Return Of Ultimate Marvel

This is another video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World. This video is a reaction and response video to Marvel’s recent announcement that they’re revising the world of Ultimate Marvel in June 2023 with Ultimate Invasion. I found this news somewhat striking because a year ago, I made a series of videos arguing that Marvel should reboot the Ultimate Universe. And there’s a real chance we could get something like that with this event. However, based on what little we know about the event, my feelings are somewhat mixed. And in this video, I explain that sentiment while also exploring the potential and pitfalls of this news.

Avengers vs. X-Men: A Clash Of Heroes (That Nobody Won)

The following is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World. This video is a mini-documentary of Avengers vs. X-Men, one of Marvel’s most ambitious crossovers ever.

In this video, I attempt to explore the why, how, and what we can learn from this ambitious, but misguided event. Enjoy!

New Comic Book Day December 16, 2020: My Pull List And Pick Of The Week

As a lifelong comic book fan, I like to think I’m easy to shop for on the holidays. Pretty much everyone in my family is aware of just how much I love comics. I also make it a point to send them lists of books I want, where to get them, and which are the least expensive.

They appreciate that a great deal. It also helps that most of the books I ask for are rarely more than twenty bucks. Those on a budget, along with those who are just cheapskates in general, love that my needs are so simple.

It makes the holidays that much more enjoyable. I’m just a simple man with simple tastes. I don’t need big, fancy gifts anymore. I can buy my own game consoles and gadgets. Just get me a stack of comics to read on Wednesday mornings with my coffee and I’m a happy guy.

New Comic Book Day around the holidays only makes me happier. It means I can both enjoy new comics and read them under the light of a Christmas tree. It’s as joyous a feeling as anything that doesn’t involve eggnog, candy canes, and gingerbread cookies. I encourage everyone to enjoy it.

With Christmas less than two weeks away, this is as good a time as any to supplement your comic reading with some festive tidings. To help, here’s my pull list and pick for the week. Enjoy!
