Sergio Aragonés' newest Groo the Wanderer comic "Gods Against Groo" is out! I thought it would be a good time to take a look at some of the gods of Groo's universe and decided to take a look at the prime god of the Grooniverse, Megatheos! Can you guess how far back Megatheos has been in Groo comics? I bet you can't! 😀

Yay! Another upload. Fkin awesome research. I did not know. But hearing the lines repeated from the Sage story from Pacific 3 -- I recollect that line so clearly.

Ha! Thanks! I did a read through of every Groo and made notes of characters, places, catchphrases, tropes, etc. Its a pretty handy little database I’ve got now. If only there was a way to share it… 😀

This is good stuff! I knew Megatheos would be famous one day.

Ha ha ha! I love the insinuation that Megatheos is famous because of a video, not because of God worshipers or anything. 😉

Are they still making Groo comics?! Wow!

@GrooTube Жыл бұрын

Yes they are! A four issue/month mini-series starting today, and they’re working on the next mini-series already… maybe sometime late 2023?

I’m a fairly knowledgeable Groo aficionado, but I had no idea Megatheos went that far back. I’ll hopefully get my copy of Gods Against Groo soon from my mail subscription service, & maybe even get another letter printed!

Hey Jason! I won’t spoil the Groo-Grams page for you, other than to say there was not letter from me printed this time. 😀 Hope you get to enjoy Groo soon! 😀

Im so excited for "gods against groo". The Fray of the Gods trade was my first Groo a year or so ago after I got really into Usagi Yojimbo. Really want to pick up "Wager of the Gods" and hope they make a reprint of "Play of the Gods" trade. Maybe if we're lucky they make a new volume that has Wager, Fray, Play, and God's against Groo all together, but that's just wishful thinking.

That would be neat to have a complete Gods collection! :)

Love your videos sir! You find a way to talk about Sergio's work in a new and different way, with every video you make. Keep up the great work! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!! Oh, and, What is Mulch?

@GrooTube Жыл бұрын

Thank you sir! Glad you enjoyed the video! And to answer your question… "Mulching is a process of inbred fertilization which employs certain decomposed organic materials-- including, but not limited to animal sediment-- to blanket an area in which vegetation is desired. The procedure enriches the soil for stimulated plant development while, at the same time, preventing erosion and decreasing the evaporation of moisture from the ground."

If you have all those then you must have “Wager of the Gods”? Cuz I do

I'm praying to the gods that we'll eventually get collected editions of Groo cause I can't afford all these back issues. It makes no sense that these are so hard to collect.

@GrooTube Жыл бұрын

I hear you. Sergio is opposed to an omnibus in principle, so the best we can do is the Epic and Dark Horse collections. But even those are super pricey these days.

@mrwasi99 Жыл бұрын

@Groo Tube still cheaper than paying $20-40 an issue for those final issues of the Marvel run. Even the Dark Horse mini series are absurdly overpriced nowadays. I read that the Groo license is tangled up with the supposed tv series that they've been trying to get off the ground for quite a few years, making it difficult to republish the old material. I have asked Mark Evanier about the possibility of any reprints.......still waiting for a response, unfortunately

Who knows, really? I suppose I’m glad, in a way, that there’s a healthy market for old Groo. I’m sure it provides incentive for Sergio and crew to continue creating new Groo too! 😀
