Thanos to Mephisto: Ha-ha, you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is “Never get involved in a land war in Asia,” but only slightly less well known is this: "Even devils should beware when bargaining with Thanos of Titan." AHahahahahah
One thing that never fails is that I am always in a good mood after watching Back Issues. You all make me laugh and just have fun watching you do what you do. Thank you!
Forgotten Kami right? Sal’s constant quips are a plea for decency in a world gone mad, and I love how he makes every character look absolutely ridiculous
Aw man Moon Knight should of come to her and been like “Why didn’t you come to me?” Just so she could be like “They believe in something, you’re just crazy...”
Kinda late to the party, but she actually does get moon knight on her side. It's explored in his solo series from that time "Marc Spector: Moon Knight"
@@C4rrEternal perhaps but I like the “you’re just crazy” line better. It’s thanos finding out where pip hid an infinity stone level of brilliant comedy.
You guys are the best, have made these last few years liveable, in what's been a hard time on many, but myself specifically thanks you for all you do and hope you achieve great success and all the goals the four of you and your channel hope to achieve. Love and thanks from your virtual friend/fan.
"Well you're quite the milf, honey. Now what're you doing out of the kitchen?" "Ooooo! My mistake." "Remember what I told you, sweetie! Wives are for kissing! Not talking! AH hahahahahahahaa!"
You'd think Ethan and Ben have done enough back issues not to be surprised by comics logic but their faces say all "this is fucking ridiculous" thanks for this lmao
One of my favorite books is the one where Pip accesses omnipotence and, within the span of an issue, realizes godhood would be a labor and wishes for nothing more than to be liked. It really shows why Adam would trust him with a stone, Drax too. I feel like I'd give mine back if I were Moondragon after the events of this story though.
Adam Warlock is one of my top favorite Marvel characters....and I own most of his pre-90s books ....but ive never been able to finish the Infinity Watch series or The Infinity Crusade. Bless you for doing it for me so I can streamline it here.
Also have you guys ever considered making these available as audio like as a podcast would make listening at work so much easier....especially on my battery lolol
Just download them with a RUclips to mp3 converter. I can't watch the episodes on Wednesday, so I spoil myself with the audio on my way to work and kick the real shit in when I'm home.
Okay, I am a Infinity war comic defender but my god there4 is no defending this. This is just pure madness, and I'm glad I had this told me so I will never throw money at this comic. Awesome episode as always
This is...better than Starlin's Infinity War. But better in the same way that getting stabbed repeatedly in the scrot 2 minutes after is better than the initial stabbing because the adrenaline has numbed you to the pain.
Can you do a back issue on unworthy Thor or Thor God of thunder the God Butcher and Godbomb Please and thank you and keep up the good work guys another great back Issue
Man if the MCU ever makes movies about the extended galactic characters of Marvel they will have their WORK cut out for them. Thank God for Comicpop this stuff would be BORING and really silly
I love the poetry of the ending in soul world but why doesn't Adam finally absorb them into his being, now that they are in one place, and can't reap havoc?
I'm making sure to comment on rewatches if I hadn't before. I don't know if I want to click on Avengers No Surrender or go to Infinity war, basically watching the trilogy in reverse. Love it always, either way
Gunther says moment: The helmet Ben wears is a call back to the helmet he wore in issue 3 of the FF back in the 60s when they didn't have the classic blue costume worked out yet media.comicbook.com/uploads1/2015/01/the-thing-helmet-120431.jpg
When they revealed Thanos as the keeper of reality, I thought of this... why not a watcher? All they ever do is talk about how they can only observe events, not interfere. Wouldn't the guys whose MO is to protect the status quo be the least tempted to use the Reality gem to change things?
Biggest problem with IC is the fact that Warlock's good and Evil Side are the same person. It's like Jim Starlin couldn't think of how to make a good side evil after giving the evil side the motif of a religious fanatic already. It was dumb but I'm granting it a little retrospective wit, something I'm sure Starlin hadn't thought of while he was writing it. Warlock was prematurely hatched, so his senses of good and evil would be equally stupid.
I'll be honest, something I really dislike is how writers will belittle other well established in-universe characters without any half way decent plot reasons for making their own characters seem impressive. Thanos one upping Malfesto is glaring and lame, it really makes me question why Jim has a weird fetish-level obsession with trying and often poorly making Thanos seem like a force to be reckoned with. Call me a power-scaler but fucking Thanos ain't anywhere near Malfesto for the reasons you guys already stated.
Say what you want about Jonathan Hickman creating characters for his Infinity Event Anyone of them is cooler and more well rounded then the likes of Adam Warlock and Pip the Troll.
There's an issue of that thor run when he's still in that small town that touches on that. Some lady has a crisis of faith because shes a Christian and the literal Norse gods not only exist but live like across the street.
At last the trilogy of decreasing quality is completed true believers!

Draxx: Fu-

Both: Ha!

My favorite part of this episode is how Uatu shows up and both Ben and Ethan know exactly how he will act.
"Thanos reigns and you're a douche."
That shit belongs a goddamn t-shirt! 😆😆😆
If anyone asks why I don't like Cosmic Marvel as much as on-Earth Marvel, I point a finger directly at Pip the Troll.
There's nothing like a new episode of Back Issues to make the day a lot better.
“The Avengers Become Cultists” ... wot
Depthcharge *que the It’s Always Sunny theme*
It’s so weird to me that Starlin, a man who wrote a gritty, dark, grounded Batman story (The Cult), is so caught up on these cosmic characters
Ben voices everything I have ever thought about Adam Warlock in the first 5 minutes of this. Thank you, Ben!!
Aw man Moon Knight should of come to her and been like “Why didn’t you come to me?” Just so she could be like “They believe in something, you’re just crazy...”

Sal's veriosn of Richards reminds me of Team Four Star's Dr Briefs

250 episode of Back Issues baby! Let's party! After this episode, though.

38:35 Ethan becomes a goose.
god dammit guys!.. This show have done so much good for my mindset... Thank you so so much.
Also have you guys ever considered making these available as audio like as a podcast would make listening at work so much easier....especially on my battery lolol

Sucks that I have exam studying to keep me from watching Back Issues as it's released but it'll be even sweeter to watch after i'm done.
you'll have a nice cache of back issues when your done.
I love the little tangents thrown in on the end lately.
Thanks for noticing!
You all had me rolling in this episode. Ethan's commentary had me rolling . Another fantastic episode!
This is...better than Starlin's Infinity War. But better in the same way that getting stabbed repeatedly in the scrot 2 minutes after is better than the initial stabbing because the adrenaline has numbed you to the pain.
Thank you for telling me I really appreciate it
Yeah. Like getting a second tooth pulled or inserting a 6th anal bead.
Your description kinda reminds me of my third birthday.
At 13:30, Reed Richards face is hilarious
As Fathomex once said 'I always knew atheists would save the world'
Can you do a back issue on unworthy Thor or Thor God of thunder the God Butcher and Godbomb Please and thank you and keep up the good work guys another great back Issue
Manuel, it's okay. They've seen your requests. It's coming.
This One was Way better than the Story with Magus. I enjoyed the Idea of the female who called herself a goddess Capable of destroying Everything
They should have released this tomorrow since the joke at the beginning would have been eerily accurate
This and xmen unlimited 1were my first ever comics. great to see you review it.
Is it odd that I prefer watching new Back Issues on Wednesday than read new comics that came out this week?...
Is this the first Back Issues in 1080p/60 fps? It looks really good guys!
Man if the MCU ever makes movies about the extended galactic characters of Marvel they will have their WORK cut out for them. Thank God for Comicpop this stuff would be BORING and really silly
I actually prefer Marvel's cosmic stories. They're always fun and grandiose
Did RUclips not like the Cultist title?
Fantastic as usual!
The mole man bit cracked me up lmao
Just got the whole Infinity Crusade run last week...... I still got to check this out though😏
So if Jim hates Marvel heroes and only likes using characters he made and split versions of like 3 weird old characters, why write at Marvel at all?
Thank god... I need a good avengers story to take my mind off work for a bit... thank you all!
2:13 Sal literally forced pulled the words right out of my mouth.
But i remember Warlock being an emotionless douche in the infinity glove story too.
So this is where Smash Ultimate got its story!
Iron man's new ship looks like Federation pursuit vessels from Blake's 7.
The ending of the trilogy that nobody wanted. Also a VERY twisted take on good.
I love the poetry of the ending in soul world but why doesn't Adam finally absorb them into his being, now that they are in one place, and can't reap havoc?
The outro song tho❤ great instrumental lol
Why did they ever think that Adam Warlock was ever cool?
I'm making sure to comment on rewatches if I hadn't before. I don't know if I want to click on Avengers No Surrender or go to Infinity war, basically watching the trilogy in reverse. Love it always, either way
I think the current Uncanny X-men writers have read Infinity Crusade
I've only read Infinity Gauntlet and after watching these back issues... I know I've made the right choice.
Infinity war is actually pretty awesome
Liked this video before watching. Been dying for you guys to do Infinity Crusade!!!!
Your crew rocks!
Been waiting all week for this
Great show. Keep the content coming guys.
Gunther says moment:
The helmet Ben wears is a call back to the helmet he wore in issue 3 of the FF back in the 60s when they didn't have the classic blue costume worked out yet
media.comicbook.com/uploads1/2015/01/the-thing-helmet-120431.jpg
Never clicked faster! 🔥
This video and has been out for at least an hour now. You’re safe Sal on no Avengers 4 news.
Put a mustache on the Absorbing Man and he'd be Soda Popinski.
oh boy avengers infinity crusade
This is awesome, I just watched your video on Infinity War
1:36 Just like in Final Fantasy 2!
Biggest plot hole of the story. How can people not believe in a higher power when Thor is a thing.
ALSO WHAT WAS WITH THAT IMAGE OF SPEEDBALL AND SHE-HULK??!? ruclips.net/video/3YHm7p8hLIQ/видео.html
Infinity trilogy completed, nice.
I didn't know Spider-Man was religious in any way
9:580 That's a big Yikes right there

The giant dregnaut is from guardians two I believe. It's a ship that the ravages use.
God... I hope you do Infinity Abyss one day.
I really like Ethan's shirt.
Why did they make two different trade paperbacks for the infinity crusade? I don't get it.
And then they released the trailer just as Mr. Pop foretold
Ho boi here we go

You guys should do a back issues episode on Batman White Knight
I wonder if we'll ever see this or Thanos Quest in the MCU.... hmmm
Say what you want about Jonathan Hickman creating characters for his Infinity Event Anyone of them is cooler and more well rounded then the likes of Adam Warlock and Pip the Troll.
Super curious what was cut that made Ben smirk that way. Especially since it was just after mentioning Warlock's feminine side. Lol
If the Goddess had only taken women, then we'd have Babewatch from Image comics.... Now THAT could be a weird story for ComicPop.
How did she hypnotize daredevil he is blind?
Adam Warlock Souldier...
54:06 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bah bah bum bah bahhhhh bahhhhh bah!
Never read this... don’t think I will now
Dope
End game
Our current religions make zero sense in the Marvel universe
There's an issue of that thor run when he's still in that small town that touches on that. Some lady has a crisis of faith because shes a Christian and the literal Norse gods not only exist but live like across the street.
You forgot the best part. Hulks loincloth.
Avengers Endgame
Was there 2 women bringing the men sandwiches?
90s so ahead of its time.😒
Please do watchmen
