Jack’s Comic Gems | King In Black

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

This is video another entry in my ongoing “Jack’s Comic Gems” collection. And this particular comic is essentially a case study in just how great a modern comic book crossover event can be. “King In Black” might as an event centered on Eddie Brock and Venom. And while they are certainly part of it, this story is so much bigger than that.

It’s a dark, but beautiful display of superhero worldbuilding and epic battles featuring the god of all symbiotes, Knull. The stakes couldn’t be higher, personally and globally in King In Black. And it’s one of those unique events that shows just what Marvel can be at its best. Enjoy!

Ultimate Marvel Universe 6160: The State Of This New Marvel Universe And Its Ultimate Future

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

It’s been a year since Marvel launched and all-new, all-different Ultimate Universe. Jonathan Hickman got things going with Ultimate Invasion. Since then, multiple new series have come out. And the aftermath of Ultimate Invasion has been building towards a major showdown against the Maker’s Council.

In this video, I take a moment to reflect on how far this new Ultimate Universe has come in the past year, where it may go moving forward, and potential pitfalls it may encounter along the way. Enjoy!

X-Men 97 Season 2 Theories And Predictions

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

This video is a list of theories and predictions about what to expect in season two of X-Men 97. The first season didn’t just wildly exceed my expectations. It laid a rich foundation on which to build. The season one finale offered plenty of clues. This is just me following those teases to what may lie ahead for this uncanny series. Enjoy!

X-Men Krakoa Post-Mortem: An Uncanny Dream With A Nightmare Ending

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

This video is a post-mortem and an overall breakdown of the end of the Krakoa era in the X-Men comics. What started with House of X/Powers of X and ended with Fall of X, the X-Men underwent some of the biggest upheavals the franchise has experienced since the Chris Claremont era. It laid a new foundation unlike anything we’d seen before with the X-Men.

Then, Fall of X came and brought it to an ugly, destructive end.

There’s a lot to be said about the Krakoa era, what led up to it, and what will come after it. I do my best share my sentiments, my hopes, and what this era means to me and other X-Men fans. Enjoy!

Jack Quick Reacts: X-Men 97 Season 1 Finale

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

This video is my quick, unscripted reaction to the season one finale of X-Men 97. I had such high expectations for this show. And now that the first season is over, I can safely say it delivered! It really was something special. It didn’t just reintroduce the X-Men in a big, bold way. It laid a truly uncanny foundation to build on. Enjoy!

Ultimate Black Panther #3 Review: Kings, Secrets, And Connections

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

This video is my full review of Ultimate Black Panther #3 by Bryan Hill and Stefano Casalli. War is raging between Wakanda and the forces of Khonshu and Ra. The order the Maker created is seeking to preserve its power and even strengthen it.

But fighting this war means uncovering buried secrets. That leads T’Challa to team up with Killmonger and Storm to find out just what the Maker’s Council is after. Enjoy!

Ultimate X-Men #2 Review: Ultimately Lacking

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

This video is my review of Ultimate X-Men #2. After this newly rebooted Ultimate Universe delivered so many amazing first issues, Ultimate X-Men really disappointed. It was one of the most underwhelming comics I’ve read in a long time, lacking anything that would make it an appealing X-Men comic, let alone an Ultimate comic on par with what others have done.

My review of the first issue earned quite a bit of flak. But I always intended to review the second issue. I don’t let one bad issue define a series. And while this second issue was an improvement over the first, it was still lacking.
