I first learned of the New Fantastic Four playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. You could play with any 4 characters and if you picked a team they got bonuses. I pretty much randomly picked these four and it had a bonus for playing as the new fantastic four. I then stopped playing the game and spent the next several days trying to find out what happened in this story.
5:04 Hi, future here! Turns out, that's exactly what they did. Except Super Skrull is called Gravik instead of Klurt. Mr Incredible is Groot, the Human Torch is the Extremis virus, the Thing is Korg, Invisible Woman is Ebony Maw from the Black Order, plus there's Captain Marvel and Abomination. And to think, by now they already have the rights to the Fantastic Four...
Okay so my new Comic Pop back issues team is: Bill Nye (as Ethan) Max Landis (As Sal) Channing Tatum (as Ben, because he won't be Gambit) and Tiffany (as Tiffany, because who really could replace her)
The Punisher has a copter. The Punish-Copter. It deals deadly Vigilante Justice to criminal scum so they never get up again. Its rivaled only by what is considered the strongest Copter in existence. The Mad Titan's Thanos Copter. The Thanos-Copter. Their battle is said to be never ending and to this day you can hear their propellers whirl in the air and their guns fire in the night.
Is this what inspired the circle of four?? I mean the circle of four was Agent Venom, Red Hulk, Ghost Rider (Alejandra), and X-23. I mean I could be grasping at straws here but seems a bit too odd to be a coincidence.
New ComicPOP Fantastic Four? Grant Morrison replaces Ben Neil DeGrass Tyson replaces Ethan Stephen Colbert replaces Sal Carrie Fisher (RIP) replaces Tiffany
This is probably my favorite comic book podcast of them all. I LOVE Sal's description of the comics, he tells the story the way I would in describing it to friends, stupid parts and all, and he's FUNNY to boot. GREAT podcast, guys, keep it up...though I would've loved hearing Sal's take on Lord Malvolio during the Green Lantern Rebirth episode (Malvolio appeared in a strange back-up tale in Action Comics when it was an anthology, and many theorize he was to be used as a back-up plan for DC to worm out of Emerald Twilight had it failed, Google him for a better description).
The NEW Comic Pop: Faust (Sal), Hank Green (Ethan), Dodger (Tiffany), Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (Ben)!! There, that's as similar, awesome, yet completely crazy replacements I could think of! ^^;
I liked Walt's run of Fantastic Four because it was fun and he knows the characters really well and he does a lot great team ups especially when Walt puts his favorite character that he wrote, Thor!
Did you guys know that Moleman was in Fan4stic? He was the guy who played Samuel Sterns in the Incredible Hulk movie. They actually changed his name in post to have that reference removed.
OMG, I would DIE if I had to explain that to my mom and dad! The rape, the prostitution, the blue dick psudo-orgy thing... nooooooooo! I'd be so embarrassed! Mom and I read a lot of the same books, and we just don't talk about them. But DAD. Holy crap, no. I can't watch TV with dad most of the time.
Full points for breaking the "Thing Barrier" and discussing the Thing's thing. I believe this important issue has never been "touched" on. Next topic: the Thing's balls: are they two giant rocks?
This is probably the best team in what Spiderman have been, the dinamic between a killing machine with razor claws, a rage monster, a spawn of hell and guy that just want to go home and live a decent life with his wife is probably the best dinamyc that has come out of him being in a superhero group (most of his participations of other groups are very meh or ok at best)
The Four Horsemen, as in the old wrestling faction. Mostly because in my head it would be hilarious to see Arn Anderson and drunk Ric Flair struggle through a crisis event or something.
My Earth-2 group of Comic Pop replacements would be slightly older versions of everyone and a bit more grizzled. Sal would be Mike Stoklasa, Ben would be Jay Bauman, and Ethan would be Rich Evans. A good April Fool's joke would be if RLM and Comic Pop switched episodes for 1 show.
In the late 2000's there was a 4 issue mini-series called Spider-man/Fantastic Four. The first three were all little bits added onto previously done moments where spidey teamed up with the FF. The third issue took place right after Delilah gets captured. Basically she gets free and causes everyone but the girls, Spidey and Ghost Rider to fall under her spell. To break the spell spidey ends up making out with She-Thing and Invisible Woman. All in all it's a silly but fun read. For the life of me I can't find the fourth issue anywhere.
alan moore, frank miller, todd macfarlene and a weird science version of frank millers wonderwoman from the dark knight strikes again. it would be insane!
Wish they would start a "fresh" universe again. Actually I wish they rebooted after Secret Wars. That story was so good, but kinda crushed by the fact they didn't follow through.
+Bob Mack I honestly glad that they didn't, if you want to reboot things and have a fresh new start, you need to give a proper ending for your charathers (wich they didn't) before doing it otherwise you ended up having a "New 52" situation when continuity doesn't make sense and all the fans have very mixed feelings about the whole thing.
I LOVE Comic POP! Great videos, great group, great production value. Thanks for putting these out, and please, KEEP IT UP. BTW, re. The Submariner: It's a small thing, and a nerdy thing, but I'm pretty sure his name is pronounced "NAY-more." Anyway, thanks again for the great content. I appreciate it! :)
The new Comic Pop New Sal: Rick Sanchez (from Rick and Morty) would actually demonstrate how the stories played out in real life. New Tiffany: Heromine (from Harry Potter) would hate Dr Strange for all the inaccuracies. New Ben: Peter Venkman (from Ghostbusters) doesn't care about in depth lore about demigods and shit. New Ethan: Spock (from Star Trek) would constantly correct Rick about how none of this makes any logical sense.
When I was little, I bought a FF comic to see how I liked them. This was the one. I remember it being confusing (like I thought Thing was gay, I didn't know that Thing was female at this point). Never picked another one up. Glad to know it wasn't representative of the FF.
Hey it appears that you guys used a certain "ultimate" version of spiderman in the thumbnail. Why not make a whole episode on that certain version of spiderman....PLEASE!
I first learned of the New Fantastic Four playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. You could play with any 4 characters and if you picked a team they got bonuses. I pretty much randomly picked these four and it had a bonus for playing as the new fantastic four. I then stopped playing the game and spent the next several days trying to find out what happened in this story.
I feel like when it clicks it clicks
I think that was only a feature in the first game.
22:04
Its basically like being attracted to an elf. With an odd chin. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT!
I think Sal is replaced by a Skrull.
Someone needs to meme this NOW!
elf?malekiht or maleskrull
Hahahahaha. good one
5:04 Hi, future here! Turns out, that's exactly what they did.
Except Super Skrull is called Gravik instead of Klurt.
Mr Incredible is Groot, the Human Torch is the Extremis virus, the Thing is Korg, Invisible Woman is Ebony Maw from the Black Order, plus there's Captain Marvel and Abomination.
And to think, by now they already have the rights to the Fantastic Four...
The NEW ComicPOP
Sal - Benny
Ethan - MatPat
Ben - An actual bear
Tiffany - CMonster
Okay so my new Comic Pop back issues team is: Bill Nye (as Ethan) Max Landis (As Sal) Channing Tatum (as Ben, because he won't be Gambit) and Tiffany (as Tiffany, because who really could replace her)
The movie's second director switched to a different project, Justice League Dark. Otherwise is unlikely it'll get made.
Well it just might but Channing Tatum is the person attached to it that I see pushing forward.
Well, about all of that...
This comment didn’t age quite so well.
The Punisher has a copter.
The Punish-Copter.
It deals deadly Vigilante Justice to criminal scum so they never get up again.
Its rivaled only by what is considered the strongest Copter in existence.
The Mad Titan's Thanos Copter. The Thanos-Copter. Their battle is said to be never ending and to this day you can hear their propellers whirl in the air and their guns fire in the night.
Cosmic Ghost rider is obsessed with getting the Thanoscopter
would you say it was All New, and All Different?
Lol
LOL
+Sceptile Tube oh hey I saw you on rangos video!
lol
Scorpion was in her first apperance
Is this what inspired the circle of four??
I mean the circle of four was Agent Venom, Red Hulk, Ghost Rider (Alejandra), and X-23.
I mean I could be grasping at straws here but seems a bit too odd to be a coincidence.
Seems like it.
New ComicPOP Fantastic Four?
Grant Morrison replaces Ben
Neil DeGrass Tyson replaces Ethan
Stephen Colbert replaces Sal
Carrie Fisher (RIP) replaces Tiffany
I’d love this
This is probably my favorite comic book podcast of them all. I LOVE Sal's description of the comics, he tells the story the way I would in describing it to friends, stupid parts and all, and he's FUNNY to boot. GREAT podcast, guys, keep it up...though I would've loved hearing Sal's take on Lord Malvolio during the Green Lantern Rebirth episode (Malvolio appeared in a strange back-up tale in Action Comics when it was an anthology, and many theorize he was to be used as a back-up plan for DC to worm out of Emerald Twilight had it failed, Google him for a better description).
I keep telling people, "The Fantastic Four are in MVC3"
"its basically like being attracted to an elf...with an odd chin. there's nothing wrong with that!"
little defensive there sal :P
Walt Simonson's run on the FF is honestly so fun to read and he understood the characters well. Its an underrated run to me.
The NEW Comic Pop:
Faust (Sal), Hank Green (Ethan), Dodger (Tiffany), Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (Ben)!!
There, that's as similar, awesome, yet completely crazy replacements I could think of! ^^;
Skrulls have fooled EVERYONE in the Marvel Universe like 4 times, Spider sense and Super senses be damned
I liked Walt's run of Fantastic Four because it was fun and he knows the characters really well and he does a lot great team ups especially when Walt puts his favorite character that he wrote, Thor!
Do the Hickman fantastic four run
Rob already doing it I think Sal should do Mark Waid run.
+Mr. Pink I second that motion
Hell yes! And don't forget Mark Waid's Fantastic Four run
I really liked the comics about Super Skrull during the Annihilation story line.
Samwise gamgee as Sal, Merry as Ethan, Pippen as Ben, and Tiffany as Galadriel
"You can do better than "The Super Skrull" Oh how right you were.
The new comic pop with Caped Joel, Kevin Smith, Sammie Reads, and Jawin Innman
That would be amazing!
Where does Alan Moore fit in to all of this?
MrDotious Sammie would do "The New Elseworlds Exchange" with him.
Uncanny Comic Pop
Rob can be Dr doom with his silky silky voice
I have a story suggestion for back issues, You should cover "Formerly Known as Justice League".
Did you guys know that Moleman was in Fan4stic? He was the guy who played Samuel Sterns in the Incredible Hulk movie. They actually changed his name in post to have that reference removed.
That poor guy... Two enemies cameos, no sequel to ACTUALLY make him a villain
+Marcello Orefice I NEED a HULK solo movies.
I hear that piano intro in my dreams
ff4 marvel knights was pretty good. that would be a decent movie if they were established in a movie universe...well.
WOW this is great. I randomly bought this yesterday at my comicbook shop and was just thinking of how great and crazy of an episode it would make.
New ComicPOP: Benny (Comicstorian) replaces Sal, Chris (Comic Tropes) replaces Ethan, Aaron (Professor Thorgi) replaces Ben. Tiffany stays but gets Doctor Strange powers. Joel stays too.
anyone ever watch that Fantastic Four cartoon from cartoon network? I actually liked that show
Yeah I did, it was cool
Yeah it was ok
shud do a sequel
i know ronan skrull namor shehulk from dat show also -zone n anilus
Sal, you need to talk about Watchmen this year with your parents. I think this year is the 30th anniversary of the comic so it's kinda appropriate.
Yes, that would be awesome
THIS. is a great idea
He'll have to explain blue-man dick
OMG, I would DIE if I had to explain that to my mom and dad! The rape, the prostitution, the blue dick psudo-orgy thing... nooooooooo! I'd be so embarrassed! Mom and I read a lot of the same books, and we just don't talk about them. But DAD. Holy crap, no. I can't watch TV with dad most of the time.
Kevin Smith is Sal.
Carl Sagan is Ethan.
Steven Seagal is Ben.
Full points for breaking the "Thing Barrier" and discussing the Thing's thing. I believe this important issue has never been "touched" on. Next topic: the Thing's balls: are they two giant rocks?
Pity the dude who pressures Ghost Rider's Daughter into Prom sex.
Ghost Rider's daughter is dead.
This is probably the best team in what Spiderman have been, the dinamic between a killing machine with razor claws, a rage monster, a spawn of hell and guy that just want to go home and live a decent life with his wife is probably the best dinamyc that has come out of him being in a superhero group (most of his participations of other groups are very meh or ok at best)
Very nice back issues with a fantastically well done editing job.Good job guys!
The Four Horsemen, as in the old wrestling faction. Mostly because in my head it would be hilarious to see Arn Anderson and drunk Ric Flair struggle through a crisis event or something.
It was fun to get
I had no idea they were doing this story and i knew the temporary replacements weren't sticking around.
can u do an INVINCIBLE Back issues??
can we get a meme of sal going innocent blood has been spilled i gotta!!! lmao love these back issues!!!
I really dig the short story choice, nice choice guys!
Lmao this story was hilarious!!! Mole man with the shake down
For your comic pop configuration: Thorgi(In place for Sal), Comicbookgirl(Replace tiffany), Ben would stay, Caped Joel(Replace Ethan)
Rob as Ben, Benny as Sal, Sea Monster as Ethan, and Sammie Reads as Tiff
"THERE'S NOTHING WRONG LIKE THAT!" ....I had to pause the video. I almost died. God that was great.
This is the 4th Back Issue I've stayed up late to watch....I am okay with this.
Same lol!
Its 4Am.Pretty much this whole summer Ive been stayibg up late to watch Back Issues
Same
More Fantastic Four Please!
TIFFANY explains a comic to Danielle and Natalie (Zodiacal)
Sal has an Elf fetish: CONFIRMED
Also my new ComicPOP would be Max Landis, Kevin Smith, Meg Turney, and Benny.
Geoff Johns, Stephen Amell, and Grant Guston = Sal, ben, ethan. Totally the new back issues
sal did you read the capwolf story in the 90's? it would make a good back issues
Rob, Hulk Hogan and Dog the Bounty Hunter
Faust, Benny, Joel, and Kevin Conroy for the new Back Issues crew. Just for one episode, PLEASE!
My Earth-2 group of Comic Pop replacements would be slightly older versions of everyone and a bit more grizzled. Sal would be Mike Stoklasa, Ben would be Jay Bauman, and Ethan would be Rich Evans. A good April Fool's joke would be if RLM and Comic Pop switched episodes for 1 show.
Will you ever do any of the "Before Watchmen" on back issues?
new comic pop: Alan Moore, Grant Morrison and Frank Millar.
Dear god
D'Lila wanted the weapon to kill the Skrull Emperor, that's why the Skrulls are pursuing her.
In the late 2000's there was a 4 issue mini-series called Spider-man/Fantastic Four. The first three were all little bits added onto previously done moments where spidey teamed up with the FF. The third issue took place right after Delilah gets captured. Basically she gets free and causes everyone but the girls, Spidey and Ghost Rider to fall under her spell. To break the spell spidey ends up making out with She-Thing and Invisible Woman. All in all it's a silly but fun read. For the life of me I can't find the fourth issue anywhere.
Following Secret Invasion, the Skrulls come across a new Skrull Queen. Mystique. And she accepts their adoration in order to con them all.
My New Comic Pop team would be Kevin Smith, Alan Moore, Sammie Reads, and Chris Evans.
A 24 hour stream of sandman on back issues would be great
alan moore, frank miller, todd macfarlene and a weird science version of frank millers wonderwoman from the dark knight strikes again. it would be insane!
I love the Cosmic Ghost Rider version of this story
how about for the new Comic pop, Grant Morrison, Alan Moore and Mark Millar talking about those old school episodes of Back Issues
She-Thing. Teaching us that "This, but boobs, too" is not always the best motto.
*crowd gasps*
Oh who am I offending?! Rock creatures?
Ultimate FF would be a good one to do. Also Ultimate Spider-Man. Did I mention I like the Ultimate Universe and miss it terribly?
You're not the only one, man.
Wish they would start a "fresh" universe again. Actually I wish they rebooted after Secret Wars. That story was so good, but kinda crushed by the fact they didn't follow through.
+Bob Mack Spider-Gwen is a fresh universe
+Bob Mack I honestly glad that they didn't, if you want to reboot things and have a fresh new start, you need to give a proper ending for your charathers (wich they didn't) before doing it otherwise you ended up having a "New 52" situation when continuity doesn't make sense and all the fans have very mixed feelings about the whole thing.
I LOVE Comic POP! Great videos, great group, great production value. Thanks for putting these out, and please, KEEP IT UP.
BTW, re. The Submariner: It's a small thing, and a nerdy thing, but I'm pretty sure his name is pronounced "NAY-more."
Anyway, thanks again for the great content. I appreciate it! :)
5:30 "I got my powers from *blklgf" LMAO
The New ComicPOP!... Kevin Smith, James Hetfield, Felicia Day and Stephen Hawking.
I wish they would do Marvel Knights Spider-Man, or Spider-Man vs Wolverine on Back Issues. That'd probably be a cool episode.
Rob from comixplained for sal, protonjon for Ethan and PEWDIEPIE for ben.
Do Marvel Zombies for your Halloween Episode
That could be cool
That one that goes way off the rails for sure. Zombies... In space!
Nathan Berg EXACTLY
Batfreeze ur wish has came true
Holy shit. The two monsters they find fighting the one on the right is almost a one to one copy of Miclas from Ultraseven
BENNYS hair Faustus bucket of chicken and Rob's vape box are my new comic pop team
Jason of Jawwin as Sal
That C Monster as Tiffany
Ming of Comic Book Men as Ben
Dan T Editor as Ethan
#NewComicPOP!Four
My All-New WTF ComicPOP would be Benny the Comicstorian, Alan Moore, Armin from CBC and Gail Simone.
They should do Spider-Man back in black arc it was so badass
Ethan's Shirt is Pretty Baller
My New Fantastic Four ComicPop lineup would be Linkara, Kevin Smith and David Tennant.
And Robert Downey Jr
Love the channel! You guys should do a Judge Dredd Comic or Neil Gaimans sand man!
The new Comic Pop
New Sal: Rick Sanchez (from Rick and Morty) would actually demonstrate how the stories played out in real life.
New Tiffany: Heromine (from Harry Potter) would hate Dr Strange for all the inaccuracies.
New Ben: Peter Venkman (from Ghostbusters) doesn't care about in depth lore about demigods and shit.
New Ethan: Spock (from Star Trek) would constantly correct Rick about how none of this makes any logical sense.
Which will make Sal suffer more? Futures End or Holy Terror? Hmm...
Ben replaced by Tiffany, Sal replaced by Kevin Smith, and Evan is irreplaceable so his spot on the couch is left empty in memorial
Well my replacements for back issues would be Alan Moore, Grant Morrison and Joel. I'd love to see how they'd get on! XD
The New Fantastic Four for comic pop, Mr Sunday Movies, Comicstorian, and Nerdsync.
Arthur Adams is Boss... He should've gotten his own book.
sweet shirt ethan. thanks for another back issues. favourite show
I have these issues, I’m of a mind with Sal.
When I was little, I bought a FF comic to see how I liked them. This was the one. I remember it being confusing (like I thought Thing was gay, I didn't know that Thing was female at this point). Never picked another one up. Glad to know it wasn't representative of the FF.
Yes I was hoping to see this for a while.
Namor the sub-mariner should have been a member of the new fantastic four. Just saying.
I have this What If... It is one of the better What If's.
Thanks for doing this!
Stephen Dreamon this was in continuity - not a what if at all. Though there was a what if of this run where they stayed the FF after the story ended
14:53 Nebula Triumpant?
I think I own these issues. I will have to dig through my old comics.
my new comic pop cast would consist of: Joel, Rob, Max Ladis,& comicsuno
love this episode. I am a big FF fan. Atlantis Rises would be cool if you ever go back to this generation of FF.
Max Landis with The Rock,MatPat and Firefoxx
comicpop replacments: christopher Walken, benny, Robert Downey jr., Kevin smith
Still got the TPB of this.
Hey it appears that you guys used a certain "ultimate" version of spiderman in the thumbnail. Why not make a whole episode on that certain version of spiderman....PLEASE!
Best fantastic four story ever
I need you guys to have a discussion about Reed and Sues Marriage
