Hey guys! For those wondering, yeah something happened to this video during export that chopped off the end of it! Unfortunately we didn't catch it until it was posted. Just know we had a bit more conversation concerning our "Ugly" choice and that it was unanimously NOT voted for the Wrong Box. We also considered what Kenny's reaction might have been when he realized Clark was also Superman. Sorry for the technical error, but luckily this doesn't happen too often over here! Thanks for checking out the video and for being generally cool folks!
Being from a small Kansas town...image is stupidly important to some families here. The stuff with Kenny from the Superman book *absolutely* does happen.
This episode was gold, but that close up edit when Tiff said " I had no shot" had me rolling! and I can relate!!! But seriously, you guys always deliver!
Ok about 40 minutes in there's an ad for an old FOX tv show called M. A. N. T. I. S. It starred Carl Lumbly who also voiced Martian Manhunter on Justice League. He was a man in a wheelchair, a scientist I believe, who would put on an exosuit and fight crime. It was the first black superhero I saw on TV as a kid especially live action. Shout out to anyone who remembers this show. Also it started off as a tv movie then the series
So “fun fact” about the Zero issue, I was in high school economics at the time doing a stock market project. I was adamant that time warner stock was going to skyrocket because of this event. I even asked my dad to let me dip into my savings and buy stock. Thankfully being in Econ I bought stock with the pretend money we were allotted and lost 50 cents a share. At least I didn’t lose my life savings.
Major major cudos to the comic pop team. Every single show on the channel delivers... g.b.u, draws,plays, o.t.r, else worlds, the flagship back issues, bat issues , and comic line ❤️
Everytime I hear you guys mention Clarks CRAZY HS buddy Kenny I immediately think of Seinfeld’s stand up nemesis KENNY BANIA! KENNY BANIA, the comics comic! He’s gold Jerry, GOLD! Lmao!
The best Zero Issue, in my opinion, is Booster Gold #0 by Geoff Johns/Jeff Katz and Dan Jurgens. It was written in 2008, but it ties into Zero Hour (kind of), so it still counts!
That's so weird...I have aquaman number 2, where he loses his hand, by Peter David...must have been some sort of weirdness with the publishing around then.
All hail the super mullet for it is invincible. Hook hand also double as back scratchers, we also know the origin of lex Luthor always 2nd place to superman.
I had that issue of Superman. I remember being so confused about who Kenny was and why we hadn't heard of him before. I'm glad it was the ugly, as it made no sense. Though I wish the video hadn't stopped before you guys talked about it
I remember the first time I saw that issue of Aquaman and I thought WTF! You have to admit whether you loved it or hated it Peter David made him a BAD ASS! That was his version they went with in the movie minus the hook of course.
Conduit was a stupid character who first appeared in the Superman Zero Month issues, was eventually killed off, and erased from continuity by DC's endless reboots: good riddance.
you know what? thank god for TPB and collections because it's always angered me that they tell stories across books. just make THE book, seems like the trend is mostly gone but when I want to read some of my 90s and early 00s stuff....oh it gets my goat
Quick question having NOTHING to do with this video: Which "Total Justice" figure is that to the left of Ethan? I've only been able to find the Robin and Huntress in my travels, and know of no others! Also, that theatre fool that rejected Tiffany to prom probably regrets that decision daily!
Tiff got turned down by a theater guy???? hmmm.... looks like a allegory with MJ got turned down from theatrics, only to end up with Spider-Man (in this case, is Sal)... yey, that's a big win...

I literally go to my local comic shop and look through their long boxes to get all the books from GBU
you'd think someone like Tony Stark would just send an intern or something
My friend recently got me the steel comic from gbu
Someone rejected Tiffany. I’m genuinely shocked.
Even though Tiff was turned down for the dance she certainly hit the jackpot with Sal
I absolutely agree with this!!
WOOO!! Back Issues is still 1st, but GBU is slowly creeping up to be my favorite show on youtube. Always excited for a new one.
This episode was gold, but that close up edit when Tiff said " I had no shot" had me rolling! and I can relate!!! But seriously, you guys always deliver!
New episode is awesome but it cuts off mid sentence.
when tiff said, "then they were harpooned by THE harpoon", i was hoping a dude calling himself The Harpoon was gonna pop up lmao
Superman is clearly the Ugly here...BUT I really wanted it to be the Bad _just_ because of Kenny.
Tiffany “I had a shot”
Also Tiffany “I didn’t”
Lol
how excited Ethan's face was when he mentioned about conduit's middle school life.

15:28 Despite Sal's best attempts to explain the frustration with tie-in's, I don't think Ethan fully understood the torment till just now.
Hey you guys I have been bing watching all of comic pop and elseworlds exchange I just love your work and I hope you have a great day
Sad to lose the last 2 minutes but estatic to have one of my favorite youtube shows back!

So glad GBU is back! Please don't scare us like that again Sal and Tiff!
Haha, great stuff as usual y'all! I can't wait for more.

One of my favorite show next to Back Issues, I really like the back ground décor for the episode.
That Weird Science tv ad really took me back. Aired along with Duckman if memory serves right. '90s tv was pretty rad.
Lmfao! “I’m back! And now....I CAN FIX EVERYTHING!!!!!” 😂😂😂
Glad to see a new episode! Hearing you guys discuss comics (both good and bad) never gets old.
this was tons of fun ;)
That's so weird...I have aquaman number 2, where he loses his hand, by Peter David...must have been some sort of weirdness with the publishing around then.
31:34 he should've called it the aquarium
Even when Zero Issues are bad, they're good. Thanks for covering a few of them. Hope you'll do more. 😎
40:22 lol
Glad to see GBU is back!
The title is beautiful
Yes.
All hail the super mullet for it is invincible. Hook hand also double as back scratchers, we also know the origin of lex Luthor always 2nd place to superman.
A minute in and just absolute enjoyment 😂 #TiffanySandwich
my favorite part of this video is ethan's glasses
I missed this show!
yay superman mullet
GBU is back! thankee sai
I had that issue of Superman. I remember being so confused about who Kenny was and why we hadn't heard of him before. I'm glad it was the ugly, as it made no sense. Though I wish the video hadn't stopped before you guys talked about it
Same here.
The Superman book was one of the first comics my Dad bought for me when I was little.
Yes it's back!
I love Peter david aquaman. Best aquaman run, great 90s run.
I feel you Tiffany, I also was rejected for prom.
☹💔
I have a hand and I must clap.
Never read the aquaman zero issue, or even seen it. Are the waves on the cover issue looming behind him supposed to look like a manta?
I remember the first time I saw that issue of Aquaman and I thought WTF! You have to admit whether you loved it or hated it Peter David made him a BAD ASS! That was his version they went with in the movie minus the hook of course.
I know this isn't Back Issues but will you guys ever do the Ruins story from Marvel?
Aquaman was weird when that series came out because issue #1 & 2 came out, then #0.
Love me some Kyle Rayner!
Poor Kenny Braverman. Clark had an unfair Edge
@1:40 would be a great shorts clip
The Superman book would be a hilarious back issues 😂
I love this show !!!!! 😎❤️❤️❤️❤️😘👍🏻
Conduit was a stupid character who first appeared in the Superman Zero Month issues, was eventually killed off, and erased from continuity by DC's endless reboots: good riddance.
Sal, rejection doesn't negate dib's. Know the code.
First and you should do Dark victory
Nice.
you know what? thank god for TPB and collections because it's always angered me that they tell stories across books. just make THE book, seems like the trend is mostly gone but when I want to read some of my 90s and early 00s stuff....oh it gets my goat
Great episode but it does cut off early, no talk of why superman is the ugly or if it belongs in the wrong box
Great episode guys. Any chance of the death of Clark Kent on Backissues?
I always announce myself when I make sandwiches.
The video sorta just ended in the middle of a sentence. Was that intentional?
No.
I was wondering that too.
Awesome.
That Superman comic was definitely ugly, I knew nothing could be worse than that. Aquaman wasn’t that bad, and I already forgot about Green Lantern

god I despise hook hand Aquaman
Zero or Heroes?
Tiff got turned down by a theater guy???? hmmm.... looks like a allegory with MJ got turned down from theatrics, only to end up with Spider-Man (in this case, is Sal)... yey, that's a big win...
Now do Sonichu #0
First!
Cool.
