Absolute Superman: The Superman His World (And Ours) Needs Right Now

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

The Absolute Universe has been a bold, exciting initiative for DC Comics. It dares to reimagine its iconic heroes in a far darker, far less ideal world. But a world like that needs Superman more than most. It needs a hero who still stands for truth and justice in a world where they’ve been undermined to an extreme.

It also parallels our world in distressing, but relevant ways.

But Absolute Superman isn’t just another Elseworld retelling of Superman and how he came to be. I argue in this video that where he comes from, what he stands for, and why he does what he does makes him uniquely capable to be the hero we all need right now. Enjoy!

Jack’s Comic Gems | All-New Wolverine: Enemy of the State II

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

In this entry of Jack’s Comic Gems, I highlight All-New Wolverine: Enemy of the State II. This spiritual successor to the acclaimed Enemy of the State arc in a previous Wolverine series makes Laura Kinney a target among heroes, villains, and hated rivals alike. It pushes her in ways she’s never been pushed before. But it ends leaving little doubt that she deserves the title of Wolverine. Enjoy!

The New Captain Planet Comic Is Weird (In A Good Way)

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

Dynamite Entertainment has dug deep into early 90s nostalgia and brought back Captain Planet in the form of a new comic with a much grittier tone. I didn’t know what to make of the news when it first came out. I wasn’t planning on checking it out, either. But I decided to give it a try. And while it did exceed my expectations, it always just felt…weird. But it’s a good kind of weird.

And in this video, I try to explore that feeling. Enjoy!

Ultimate Wolverine #1 Review: The Ultimate Living Weapon

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

In this video, I give my review and reaction to Ultimate Wolverine #1. The announcement for this series reinvigorated my interest in the new Ultimate Universe.

Ultimate Universe One Year Later: Promise, Outlook, And Concerns

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

In this video, I reflect on how Marvel’s all-new, all-different Ultimate Universe has developed over the course of the past year. It has been generally good, but with a fair amount of not-so-good here and there. Things did slow for a while, but new series and new developments in 2025 hold great promise that’s definitely worth discussing. Enjoy!

Jack’s Comic Gems | X-Men ’92 House Of XCII

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

This video is another entry in my “Jack’s Comic Gems” series. This time, I highlight a brief, but memorable mini-series that reimagines the classic House of X/Powers of X story, but in the world of X-Men 92. It’s a unique, but uncanny combination that proves to be a quality gem for all the right reasons.

On My Way To New York Comic Con!

It’s that magical time of year, once again!

The New York Comic Con is upon us!

And once again, I plan to attend. As I am typing this right now, I am making my final preparations. I’ve got my pass, I’ve got my costume, and I’ve got a stack of comics that I hope to get signed by my favorite artists and writers.

There’s so much I want to see. And while I know for certain I won’t get to see everything, I’m confident it’ll be another wonderful experience to remember. I’ve documented my past trips to New York Comic Con before. Every time I go, I encounter so many amazing people and forge memories that I deeply cherish. This trip has since become a highlight every year. And I look forward to making this year just as special.

I am so ready!

New York, here I come!
