A Viewer Sent Me One of My GRAIL Comics… | NCBD Vlog

Added: 2026-04-29

[00:00:17]What's up everybody? Welcome back to the YouTube channel. We're back at it on another beautiful Wednesday for another new Comic Book Day vlog. As you guys can tell, I'm back home. I was in Detroit visiting my girlfriend, having a great time out there. There are some great comic book shops out in Detroit. But regardless, we're back in Colorado, back in the HQ for another beautiful new comic book day. Today, we got a bunch of banger releases. I mean, there's a bunch of new number ones coming out of uh DC today. Um, we got some Indie Fire, we got some Marvel heat. You guys already know. Let's get this day started. Of course, you guys already know it's a new comic book day vlog. So, we're kicking the vlog off with a good oldfashioned comic quote of the day. And if you watched last week's new comic book day vlog, um, where I picked this up and I read it, you guys heard me say that there was like three to four comic quotes of the day in here. There is some amazing writing in this book. Um, but for starters, we're going to pull from the Brian Michael Bendis story. Um, so this quote is coming from Superman or Spider-Man Superman number one. The short story by Brian Michael Bendis um with Miles Morales and Superman. The quote is said by Superman. I'm telling you guys, this is one of my all-time favorite quotes from Superman. I'm talking like this is this is going to be up there. Um, basically Miles asks Superman for some words of advice given that Superman is the first superhero.

[00:01:28]He's like, "I've gotten words of advice from everyone. Great power comes great responsibility." Superman, that's a good one. Um, but he's like, "I want advice from you. The first ever." And so this is what Superman has to say to Miles Morales. Absolutely. Peak. Everyone take a listen. When I was around your age, I was always worried. Always worried.

[00:01:44]Worried I'm not making the right choices. Worried I'm not in the right place. I wasted so much energy worrying.

[00:01:48]And the answer was always the same. If I showed up to do the right thing, if I was present and trying to make that day better, then that is the right choice.

[00:01:57]And you, you're right here. Boom. Guys, everyone take that one to heart. That is absolutely phenomenal. That's classic Superman right here. It's not your words. It's not who you are. It's your actions that makes up who you are. Um, but yeah, everyone take that one to heart. Let's get on with the vlog. You already know it's time to go over the books that I read last week and give you guys my top five books from last week.

[00:02:16]And guess what? Even though I was in Michigan with my girlfriend the entire time, I still read everything. I got home yesterday and I just sat down and I binge read. I read every book from last week. I will say I didn't pick up every book from last week since I was in Detroit. There was a couple books that I didn't pick up um that I just left to get while when I was back so I didn't have to bring them back. Stuff like Green Lantern, Justice League, Void Rivals, and those books I will be picking up today. But regardless, here is my top five books from last week.

[00:02:40]Kicking it off, we got Superman issue 37, part two to the Super Boy Prime era of Superman, and I loved it. I really, really, really did not think I was going to be into this arc whatsoever. I've never really been the biggest Superman or Super Boy Prime fan. Um, and I've never been the biggest fan of like super meta comics. It just depends on on on how it's written, but this one is one of those ones that I am loving. Um, it's just so fun. It's just cool to really feel like yourself being put into Super Boy Prime's uh shoes because if you guys didn't know, Super Boy Prime is a real life character. He's like pulled from our universe, not the DC universe, like our universe where DC heroes are comic books and everything like that. And he's just a massive comic book nerd and he's able to become Superman and now he's the full Superman trying to write his wrongs, trying to do the right thing, trying to be a good person. Um, and it's just so well written. Dan Mora artwork is incredible. Um, so yeah, I could not not have this on the top five. It was an easy five out of five. Every book on my top five of this from last week were five out of five reads. Um, and it this was a phenomenal start to this top five.

[00:03:42]Coming in at number four, we got Absolute Flash issue 14. Um, I'm incredibly excited about this issue because it might be my favorite of the series. I've been really, really wanting Absolute Flash to be good because obviously Speed Sultan. I'm a Flash guy.

[00:03:55]Um, and I just really haven't been like in love with Absolute Flash, um, up until these recent couple of issues, and this issue was my favorite of the series so far. I loved all the Mirror Master stuff. Um, and I'm really really excited about that little cliffhanger at the end. I won't exactly spoil it, but I'm so excited. Um, I'm loving the the direction of Absolute Flash. Um, so yeah, great issue, five out of five, and I'm hopeful for the direction. Next up, we got one that I'm super excited to be on the list because we got two Flash titles in the top five. I don't remember the last time that happened. We got The Flash issue 32, second issue to Ryan North's run. It was incredible. I'm absolutely loving it. Um, the whole like Central City citizens trying to like kill themselves so that Barry or Wall-E saves them and then they get paid if they get videos of Wall-E saving them and everything and Wall-E has no idea what to do cuz he's like, "Well, I obviously have to save them cuz they're jumping off buildings, but if I don't like I don't Yeah. So, it's it's really really cool. There's some crazy like like mystery behind who's behind all of it and everything." Then Wall-E and Captain Cold team up at the end of this issue. So, I'm very very excited to see how that goes. Um, and the artwork on this, uh, Gudrey, I love love the new Flash suit. Loving the artwork. Um, it's got like some cool like silver age vibes to it, which I'm a big sucker for the silver age. So, absolutely adoring this flash title and the fact that we got two Flash titles in the top five. Let's go, Flash fans. We're eating good. Uh, coming in at number two, I got Exquisite Corpses, issue 12, the the second to last issue to the series. Yeah, at least as of now. Um, I loved this. This was so freaking awesome. Um, I'm super excited for the last issue. Um, this was just incredible. I definitely predicted who was going to like win, but then they didn't win. And then, well, cuz my original prediction for the winner was Fos Fosk Mask Killer and then like a couple issues back, I was like, you know what? I don't think that's going to happen. I think it's going to be like this other character. I don't really want to spoil anything because that ended up happening. If you watched my previous videos, you know what I'm talking about. Um, but what I thought was going to happen ended up happening, but then something else happened and there was another twist and so they there isn't a winner yet. We still have to decide the winner in issue 13. I'm incredibly excited. It's not who any of us thought it was going to be at the beginning of the series. Um, so yeah, super well written, awesome artwork, awesome tension. Um, James Tanya and Michael Walsh and just the entire creative team and everyone over at Tiny Onion are freaking killing Exquisite Corpses. I really hope that the next issue isn't the last ever. I understand that it's the last to like this arc and this or like this story or whatever, but please come back to it. Please come back to it. But my book of the week, you guys should have seen this coming if I said there's three to four comic quotes of the day in it. I loved everything about Superman Spider-Man or Spider-Man Superman. It was phenomenal. I don't know if there's anything I really need to say. If you guys want to hear my really in-depth thoughts, um definitely check out last week's vlog where I read and react to and review every story within it, but they were all awesome.

[00:06:40]Um, I think my favorite has to be the Superman uh, Miles Morales one by Brian Michael Bendis, but I loved the main story line so much. I loved the Jeff John story line so much. Um, the last little one pager by Jeff Loe and Jim Chung was awesome. There was just so much great great comic books in here.

[00:06:57]This was the crossover that I was looking for. Um, I loved everything about it. Easy 10 out of 10. My two favorite characters come together and write one of my favorite comic books ever. Genuinely, this is one of my favorite single issues ever. think I loved everything about it. Um, but yeah, that was my top five from last week.

[00:07:13]Time to figure out what it is from this week. Quick prediction, I'm going with Ultimates. I mean, we got the second to last issue of Ultimates coming out today. It's the freaking Thor and Civ and like on issue on Asgard with Ser.

[00:07:26]I'm hopeful for that one. Um, so yeah, but there's only one way to find out.

[00:07:29]But first, I got an unboxing to do. And actually, let me show you guys something real quick while I'm just sitting here.

[00:07:33]some of the stuff that I picked up while I was in um Michigan, which by the way, if you guys didn't know, the biggest comic book shop in the world is here in Denver, Colorado. It's called Mile High Comics. Super cool that we're able to have that this close to us. Um I'm out there in Michigan. I'm standing in Detroit. My girlfriend lives in Detroit.

[00:07:48]And then um we we're travel we're driving across the state to go to a wedding, right? In the we're in this random place in Michigan, like three hours away from from Detroit and everything. It's called like Moskegan or something. We're somewhere random. and they just happened to have the second biggest comic book shop in the nation.

[00:08:03]Um, it was called Langs Comics and Collectibles. So, if any of you guys happen to be by the like Grand Rapids area of Michigan, definitely check that shop out. I wasn't able to buy that many things cuz I had to pack what I brought back. Um, but I did find the A cover to Wonder Woman Dead Earth issue number two. Super excited about this. Um, it was the only A cover I didn't have from the series. I had a variant for this issue. Now I have the all the A covers and I can just continue hunting down the variants. They did have all the other variants I needed as well. I just didn't really have space to bring anything back. And but they did also have some manga that I've been really really looking for for a really long time. Um real. So I got volume 1 and volume 8. Um actually my girlfriend's brother got this for me. So shout out to you CJ. Um but I went and picked up volume one and I'm so excited for this. This is by uh Tahiko and Newway, the same uh writer and artist that did Vagabond, which is one of my favorite p pieces of media, period. Um and this one follows like a wheelchair basketball team. I've heard nothing but beautiful things about it.

[00:08:56]I've been hunting it down for so long.

[00:08:58]I've never been able to find it and they had it there over in Michigan. So, there we go. Some slight little pickups. Let's go do an unboxing downstairs that I'm incredibly excited about because I don't even know what it is. I'm freaking yapping. Let's go do that and then go to the comic book store. We've transferred downstairs. Time to unbox this. This was sent to me um by one of you guys actually, the homie Cultivation on Instagram. He reached out, said he's got some D-Dub something or some D-Dub stuff that something that he wants to send to me. I couldn't speak there correctly. Um but a D-Dubs book that he wants to send me and I can't say no. So, obviously I didn't say no. He said I couldn't. Um, so seriously, Cultivation, thank you so much, man. You did not have to send this to me whatsoever. Um, but I'm very incredibly excited, especially if you're going to name drop D-Dubs. Um, I wasn't going to say no anyway. But seriously, thank you so much, man. I have no idea what this is. You did not have to send this to me. Thank you. Um, but I'm incredibly excited. Let's see what we got. Let's see what we got. All right.

[00:09:46]Here we go. Here we go.

[00:09:50]All right. Double package. Double package. W packaging.

[00:09:56]What we got? I'm hyped. Got to show you guys first. I think it's the right way.

[00:10:00]Boom. What we got? What we got?

[00:10:06]Tunate from Cult. I already know what it is. I know what it is, dude.

[00:10:12]There's no way. It's the Throg cover.

[00:10:18]Oh my god, Brandon. Bro, I know you're reading >> the Throg cover. The D-Dubs Throg cover.

[00:10:30]>> He did a Throg cover, >> dude. It's a exclusive. It's a comic. I think it's a Hall of Comics, like a comic store exclusive.

[00:10:36]>> Whoa.

[00:10:37]>> Dubs Throg.

[00:10:39]>> Y'all Everyone talking about Thrag. What y'all know about Throg, dude?

[00:10:43]Cultivation to Nate from Cultivation.

[00:10:46]Dude, seriously, thank you so much. This is This was genuinely I've always said um like of all D-Dubs covers that are out right now that I don't have, this was my number one grail. It used to be the Hulk one. That one was sent to me from one of you guys. You guys are freaking legendary. Um and so I secured the Hulk one. And then after that I was like the Throg cover. The freaking Throg cover is my grail. I need this thing.

[00:11:06]And now I freaking have it thanks to Cultivation. Dude, homage after Kirby. This is so freaking awesome. I I'm I'm speechless. I'm speechless. This is my new Grail Dubs cover in my collection. I need to put this up on the wall somewhere. All my D-Dubs books up on my Actually, maybe I don't want this one on on my wall cuz I need this one like protected. All right, I'm going to go look at this for 30 minutes before I go to the comic book store. Cultivation.

[00:11:37]Wow. Thank you so much, man. Seriously, this is incredible. Let's freaking go, man. I'm freaking out. This is freaking peak cultivation. I love you. Well, well, well. We're back with Brandon. We have returned to Colorado. Like I said, we were out in uh Michigan. Was a great time. Great shops out there. Um while we were there, the Nuggets go down 3-1. Oaw >> we won uh last night or two nights ago or whatever. Um so it is 3-2. Now we're back to Minnesota for game six. We need a win. If we can get it back to Denver, I'm hopeful. But this game six is going to be hard. But the playoffs in general have been lit. Uh LeBron James has shown why he's the greatest basketball player of all time. 42 years old, putting the Lakers on his back without Luca in AR.

[00:12:21]Um I think they're up 3-1. Um yeah, the playoffs have been great. Um very excited to for the for the next round see what see what all uh the matchups are.

[00:12:29]>> I saw uh Jokic like get all up into one of the Timber Rules faces at the end of one of the games. He like took a shot that he like you don't usually do or something like that. Yeah. It's kind of like an unwritten rule of basketball that >> uh like if you're winning and you have the balls, the clock expires, you just dribble the clock out.

[00:12:47]>> Yeah.

[00:12:47]>> And so he like went and like took the open layup, which like is like Yeah.

[00:12:51]Like for the rules of basketball, that's like like the unwritten rules. It's like disrespectful.

[00:12:56]>> Even though even though that's the opposing team and my guy's Jokic and like he's the one who got upset about it. I honestly I'm in the ballpark where like >> if you don't want him to do that then you should probably just win.

[00:13:07]>> Yeah. Like, so like >> I it's it's never like yes, it's a little bit disrespectful, >> but at the end of the day, I'm not mad at Jaden for doing that because one, it's playoff basketball. Tensions are high. The series is already we're already kind of rivals and everything, so I get it. Getting their heads a little bit. I get it. That being said, I hate you Jaden McD. No, I'm just kidding.

[00:13:27]>> Love you, Aaron Gordon.

[00:13:28]>> But yeah, we do love you, you Aaron Gordon, no matter what, no matter what happens. He was just out last game uh with his calf is still acting up a little bit, but >> he should be back for game six in Minnesota. So, I'm hopeful.

[00:13:38]Football-wise, Giants drafted. Um I'm blanking. I didn't uh cuz it happened over while I was in Detroit.

[00:13:44]>> Uh one of them and then um >> been an O lineman.

[00:13:47]>> Yeah, the O lineman. Um and so I'm overall I'm happy. I wish we got uh Caleb DS, but it is what it is. You happy with the Patriots draft so far?

[00:13:55]>> Yes. Yeah, I think we the thing we needed the most was O line. Plus, we're apparently getting AJ Brown now.

[00:14:01]>> That's really good, which is huge.

[00:14:03]>> Yeah. I mean, another weapon for uh Drake May for Drake. Drake Maym May Drake May. Next season, we're we're in a Super Bowl.

[00:14:11]>> The odds of we go back next season are a little bit lower, but >> Drake May might go. So, >> yeah. True. True enough. He's going to put the city on his back. And nothing too crazy. Most anticipated book of the week this week for me is got to be Ultimates 23. I'm very excited for the Certur Asgard issue and everything. It's either that for me or Zatana number one.

[00:14:28]>> Oh, facts.

[00:14:29]>> I'm hyped about Jamal Campbell coming back to Zatana.

[00:14:32]>> I am very excited about the Zatana number one. I've been hearing really good things about it. I love Jamal Campbell and uh Chloe, my girlfriend, she said she wanted me to pick her up one. So, >> heck yeah. Plus Peak reprint cover.

[00:14:42]>> That is a Peak one. I I've seen it and I didn't know it was coming out today.

[00:14:44]Brandon told me it was coming out today.

[00:14:46]>> That must be >> Look at his Homelander, bro. Even >> that's a cop.

[00:14:49]>> And a quick interruption on that speed sultan car rant cuz it's time to get gas. But more importantly, a beverage.

It's not my favorite, but if I'm getting a lime bev, I'm going with that Alani. And honestly, that's what I'm going with. Secured. Dang, I literally just checked out and I already forgot Brandon's apple juice. So, let's grab that, too, real quick. My bad, bro. Uh, juice.

I mean, we definitely get Quudoba or don't get Kudoba sometimes on new comic book day, but most of the time we do because never misses. And we got Nova, the the Kudoba Nova welcoming us to our delicious food.

[00:19:50]AND BANG, we're freaking back to the comic corner. We got some fat freaking stacks. Mine is extra fat because, like I said, I had to get some books from last week that I didn't get. So, yeah, pretty fat. On the top of the stack, though, we got the uh preview for Marvel. I'm actually excited for this DNX. It looks pretty cool. We got this Peak Marco Getto cover, variant cover.

[00:20:10]Um, but it looks like the mutants are about to be contagious or something like that. I don't know. We'll find out though in July or whenever that comes out. All right. Top of the stack.

[00:20:18]Remember, some of these are from last week. Most of these from this week. This one. I'm actually not sure if it was from last week or the week prior, but it's just a a series that came out recently. Um, and I heard really, really good stuff about it. In your skin, number one. Um, image number one. Like I said, it came out a week or two ago. Um, body horror book. So, thought I'd check it out. Uh, this one is also from last week. Green Lantern issue 34. Another one. I'm excited. Another one from last week is Corpse Knight issue one. I'm very excited for this one. Um I heard pretty good things. And then what else we got from last week?

[00:20:50]Void Rivals issue 29. Excited to see what's going on with the Quintessan War.

[00:20:54]And I believe this is the last one I needed from last week. Justice League Unlimited issue 18. Peak Dan Mora cover.

[00:21:01]Let's go. Now these should all be from this week. We got brand new image number one, Red Roots, uh, written and drawn by Lorenzo Develichi, which I'm very excited about. Lorenzo Dealichi is the artist for Void Rivals, or at least the first arcs for Void artist for Void Rivals and everything. And, uh, very song. If you haven't checked out Song, Robert Kirkman, >> Lorenzo Dealichi.

[00:21:21]>> Yes. Amazing.

[00:21:22]>> Yeah. I'm not even sure what's going on here. I think it's some sort of horror book, but it's written and drawn. Y'all know I love those written and drawn books that are written and drawn by the same person. Zatana number one. Zatana is here. We got the brand new number one um by Jamal Campbell. another one written and drawn by Jamal Campbell. So, I am very excited for that. I had to get this. I didn't even know it was coming out today. I had to pick up the Splash Sonic cover. Uh it's a reprint from the original DC Sonic series. I know they're doing another one. Um that's coming out.

[00:21:46]>> The fact that it was like six connecting covers.

[00:21:48]>> Yeah, it's connecting covers with all of them, but I remember they did a reprint for the issue with a Sonic Flash cover like back a while back. I think it was a second printing and I didn't get it and I kind of regretted it. So, there we go.

[00:21:59]I got my Sonic Flash cover. DNA DNA Punisher color bleed had to be capped.

[00:22:04]He He blessed us and only did one this week. Thank you. We got the brand new uh Batman Wonder Woman truth. Is that what this is called?

[00:22:10]>> Mhm.

[00:22:11]>> I don't know, man. I'm not incredibly excited for this. We'll see what happens.

[00:22:15]>> I'm very excited for Jim Chung's art, though.

[00:22:17]>> That is true. That is true. I'm excited for that. We got Wolverine's Weapon of Armageddon issue number three. There's one reason and one reason only that I'm here, and that is David Colton, Captain America. He is awesome. Justice League Intergalactic Special number one. It's a one shot. Excited to see what's going on there. The second to last issue of Ultimates with issue 23. I'm very, very sad to see it go. I feel like this is going to be my book of the week. I'm very, very excited. Stipin Moran on the art. I forgot.

[00:22:44]>> Dude, wait. I'm flipping through. It's uh it's another poem issue.

[00:22:48]>> And Stippy and Morian on the art. This is about to be peak. Peak incoming.

[00:22:52]Captain America issue number 10. Issue 9 came out last week, so I'm excited to see. We got the little weekly schedule for issue 9 and 10. Um, and nice little cliffhanger at the end of issue nine.

[00:23:00]So, I'm very excited to see what happens there. Frell, issue 22, one of my favorite ongoings. I freaking love Frell. Um, another Zatana number one because I got one for my girlfriend.

[00:23:10]Swamp Thing >> 88.

[00:23:11]>> 88 number one. Um, it was a book that was supposed to release back in the 80s and they didn't release it for a reason.

[00:23:18]>> There was like a controversy about because it was a Jesus issue, like the crucif crucification of Jesus Christ issue and like they would wouldn't let him release it. But so now it's here and so I'm excited to see what they wanted to do back in the 80s. It's finally here. And last but not least, we got White Sky issue number three. Um, issue two was pretty good. I think this is going to be the end all say for me. If I like this issue, I'll keep going. If I don't love it, I'll I'll end it there.

[00:25:39]>> Oo, I like that art a lot.

[00:25:40]>> Is that John Tim?

[00:25:42]>> It might be. It's hard to tell.

[00:25:43]>> Conor Connor Tims. Oh, >> what >> are they?

[00:25:47]>> No, I think that's a miss that's a mess up on the printing cuz that's definitely John Tim's >> unless there happens to be >> I don't think so.

[00:25:53]>> Oh, cuz I guess it is also Connor but they spelled the Connor is spelled different than Connor.

[00:25:57]>> Yeah, Conor.

[00:25:57]>> I think that might be messed up.

[00:25:58]>> Either way, Connor Kent.

[00:26:00]>> It might be worth something, >> dude.

[00:26:01]>> We got the We got the messed up one.

[00:26:03]Hell yeah. Upper Deck, thank you for sending me through these packs. I loved opening these. Let's freaking go.

[00:26:12]Nice. All right, we made it up to the bedroom. You guys already know what time it is. It's time to read one of these bad boys. I'm between between Red Roots, Zatana, and Ultimate, but I'm thinking we're just going to go ahead and go for the Zatana number one.

[00:26:27]See what it's all about. Let you guys know if it's worth picking it up or not.

[00:26:30]Zatana number one, Jamal Campbell.

[00:26:33]Written and drawn by him. Let's find out.

[00:26:47]All right, Zatana number one, Jamal Campbell. I liked that a lot. That was not too shabby one bit whatsoever. Um, for starters, I'm going with at least nine out of 10. I'm going nine out of 10 on that. Uh, four and a half out of five. I really really enjoyed that. Um, I just I really I'm a sucker for Jamal Campbell's artwork. I just really really like his style. It's like cartoony and almost like I don't know how to describe it. But let me show you guys some cool panels here that aren't too or pages that aren't too spoilery or anything.

[00:27:21]That definitely is. But yeah, I mean it was it it was super good. I if if you guys are fans of Satana, you guys will like this in my opinion. But also if you guys are trying to get into Satana, here's like one of the opening pages, so it's not too spoilery. It's just a beautiful double page spread. Yeah, Jamal Campbell killed that. And yeah, I believe Brandon mentioned it during the hall, but I believe that he does the colors as well. So, he's writing, drawing, and coloring it. It's just Ariana Mayhur on the letters. Um, so it's pretty much an entirely or entirely Jamal Campbell book. Um, but yeah, I really really liked it. It's a cool introduction. Like I said, if you're if you're new to Satana or you're trying to get into her as a character, definitely definitely pick this up. I think it's great for uh jumping on point for new readers and everything. Um, but yeah, she's become the prime magnus, which if you guys don't know is basically kind of like the sorcerer supreme in like of Marvel, but in DC kind of. It's just like the best sorcerer in the universe kind of best magician in the world kind of uh situation or in all of the realms.

[00:28:15]Um, and I'm really liking this start so far. It seems as if she's going to be bouncing around like different cities or different places within the realms within the magical realms and just kind of like protect the protecting them um and stuff. Uh this one she yeah she helped there's like this girl who was kind of like possessed by this evil spirit kind of situation but she wasn't able to like fully uh help her out or anything just like kind of partially. So she's like bringing the spirit the demon spirit with her or something. I don't even freaking know but I really really enjoyed it. Um cool dialogue, cool action sequences within um the like mindscapes and everything. And yeah, just Jamal Campbell artwork is awesome.

[00:28:55]Uh, spoiler warning. I'm going to show one more panel if you guys don't want to see, but this is some cool action sequences like her like jumping, throwing down the card and then like flying on the card and stuff like that.

[00:29:04]Super cool. Really awesome. Um, and not too many spells, so it wasn't too hard to read because we all know Zatana is hard to read because she whenever she's doing her spells, it's freaking backwards and it's hard to read. Um, but there wasn't that many spells. So, it was a nice easy read. Great read. Great start to Zatana number one. I'm excited to see what else Jamal com Jamal Campbell has cooking for the series. Um, but yeah, I will definitely be picking up the next issue. So, great start. But with that being said, that's going to go ahead and wrap it up for today's new Comic Book Day vlog. Um, per usual, I want to thank each and every one of you guys for tuning in, showing me so much love here on the channel.
