Why DC’s Absolute Universe Beats Marvel’s Ultimate Universe 2.0

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

Marvel and DC Comics each created a new universe in which they built their iconic characters from the ground up. One was forged by the machinations of the Maker and the other was created through the power of Darkseid. Both have done well in terms of sales and fan response.

However, the Ultimate Universe is set to end in 2026. And DC’s Absolute Universe is poised to grow for years to come.

The time is right to take a step back and assess both universes as they’ve developed. In doing so, one thing became clear. Absolute DC is winning and Ultimate Marvel 2.0 has faltered.

Absolute Batman #1: Why It Absolutely Works And Why It Matters

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

DC Comics’ new Absolute Universe has arrived. An all-new, much darker DC Universe has emerged. And our first glimpse of this world unfolds in Absolute Batman #1.

It’s the most ambitious reinvention of Batman in years. And Scott Snyder really accomplishes something special with this first issue. I would go so far to argue that this is the most important Batman comic of the past 25 years and this new Absolute Batman is one of the most imposing versions of Batman we’ve ever gotten. Enjoy!
