From what I remember Puck is not a "real" midget but was turned into a midget by a curse... which makes him being healed by Madelyn less... insulting, I guess ?
*Sunspot:* "I'm happy here, Logan. People actually appreciate me! You don't know how much I suffered!" *Wolverine:* "yOu dOn'T kNOw hOw mUcH i SuFFeReD! Waaaaah!" *Sunspot:* "...Alright, let's go."
Same here, this crew is the epitome of simply good humans, which are hard to find these days. You can tell they have good souls, and best of all all enjoy and love comics, Sal and Tiffany are a great couple and Sal is a plethora of comic knowledge, Tiffany is as well, Ethan and Ben brin great levity and charm. They too have gotten me through some tough years here. God bless you and best wishes to all who are struggling.
Scott: "I wonder why Rachel is so uncomfortable around me..." Literally anyone else: "Rachel SUMMERS feels you don't love her enough." Scott: "...But she--a complete stranger to me--should know I respect all allies equally!" The other person: "She's considering changing her middle name to SCOTT, in honor of her FATHER." Scott: "...I'm not following you, friend."
I can’t “like” this enough. I almost sent y’all my personal copy a few years ago. Wow! I’m so glad you’re doing this! Right when I get off work too! Perfect!
I love going back to this episode. This was the first comic book I ever read. I remember having absolutely no context for anything that wasn't in the 90s cartoon and I ended up just rolling with it and having a blast.
I hope the MCU xmen introduces cyclops in a dream replaying he and Alex falling to earth with a damaged parachute and Scott's optic blast manifests and helps slow their descent and he whacks his head while they're firing and he winds up knocked out with his eyes open and they just keep firing up. I think audiences will be smart enough to figure it out.
Great episode once again :D thanks for all the amazing work and who knows we might get the first bit of Exiles some day. Its crazy enough to talk about and the first arc's arn't bad. Yet if any other motivations you can think of fail then just think: "THIS ONE'S FOR YOU MORPH!"
I love the fact that Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes did a version of this story. Instead of Cannonball meeting Eitri, Iron Man did and got Dwarf-crafted Iron Man armor. And, yes, the Amora/Sym thing is not mentioned at all when she next appears.
Fun Fact - The Arkon Annual story is the first time we learn Cyclops' powers are sun-based. He spends slow long fighting in a place without a sun that he starts running low on optic juice.
Love listening to ComicPOP! while I'm at work. Have you guys ever considered doing an audio only version of Back Issues on Soundcloud maybe? That would be AWESOME.
I like to do this weird thing, where after I find a trade, I come back and watch the episode again, following along, and I just found the copy, Ethan is holding, for 5 bucks 😊
Have Thor and the X-Men ever actually interacted in any meaningful way? Trying to imagine Thor walking around the Xavier mansion and it's a very odd image.
The scene when Loki explains that mutants will still be able to create things and Cyclops blasts him for basically being ignorant. Then the North pantheon shows up to yell at Loki for not knowing Midgard current events lol. I hope we get that in the MCU with Tom and whoever they cast as young X-men and hearing Loki exasperated at the thought . “You’re suggesting I read their NEWS now, Thor?”
Does anyone know if Sal, Tiffany Ethan or Ben mentioned illustrators or artist that they admire or like in other videos? Im doing some research on this topic.
Wow I read the Rogue/Northstar interaction completely differently. To me, Rogue saw Northstar’s repressed homosexuality, and saw that as an opportunity to let him know that she cares by being a friend. Instead of outing him to his face or in front of everyone, she chose to just be present. I saw it as a friendly kiss and a friendly dance, but I could be way off with this interpretation!
Rogue options to seduce Xavier: too old Sasquatch: too hairy Logan: too old and too hairy Nightcrawler: brother Puck: who? Cyclops: married Colossus: kitty’s Northstar: Gay Rogue: gay is the way
Is it me or does ol boy narrating refer to only storm as a bad bitch...and comment that sunfire is banging bitches...seem a bit problematic...I forgive tho.
There is one thing that it really annoys me ... I don’t know if it’s part of such videos, but do they pretend not knowing about New Mutants ? Even I that only occasionally read X-men in the past knew about them and who they were. I can’t believe Tiffany specially doesn’t have any knowledge.
I'm familiar with the concept of the New Mutants but I didn't know their names or anything about them. And I doubt I'll remember much about them after this.
I've grown to love that moment where Sal just sighs and says "Okay" because you know something good's about to happen.
Me too lol, it s always the point where stops trying to sell the comic's ridiculousness and just gets straight with them 😅
Literally in every X-Men book they do 🤣🤣
Every. Single. Time.
Best bed time stories with the ComicPop crew
"So the story opens with Cyclops and his wife, Madelyne Pryor-"
*Ethan instantly drops the book and retreats within himself*
From what I remember Puck is not a "real" midget but was turned into a midget by a curse... which makes him being healed by Madelyn less... insulting, I guess ?
Yes, I was coming to say this too, and am glad someone did
@@darkamora5123 Really? this is the first I have watched this channel, and there were a few things he was wrong about just in this video.
8:00-8:30 I LOST IT.
Literally all of the X-Men: "YOU DON'T S A Y CHARLES??"
*Sunspot:* "I'm happy here, Logan. People actually appreciate me! You don't know how much I suffered!"
*Wolverine:* "yOu dOn'T kNOw hOw mUcH i SuFFeReD! Waaaaah!"
*Sunspot:* "...Alright, let's go."
That could be a scene from Robot Chicken 😂
"There's nothing gross of nefarious about it, it's just that cipher goes inside of Warlock... and makes him feel good"
Northstar has super speed, that's more comparable to the Flash than Quicksilver at this point in time.
This is my favorite Ethan episode so far. Had me rolling the entire show
*See's Wolverine Asgardian costume*
*Starts laughing like Master Roshi*
1:04:30 That Wolfsbane conversation killed me. Choking.
Tiff with that shirt looks like Mary Jane
Tiff is Sal's MJ so it works
@@JimmyXWolvie Sure, why not
And Ben Flash Thompson. Lol
She looks more like Jean Grey to me
Been going through a rough time, but you guys always cheer me up, thanks guys!
Same here. These guys literally save lives ❤️
I came here to say the same. Glad to see others whose days are brightened by Comic Pop!
Matthew Nash hope your feeling better fellow populant

2 back issues a week is exactly the type of content I need right now 🙏🏾😭
Man, I’ll save my, “Mweeeelll actually” comments and just say this episode was amazing
"she can like... Make magma"
*Xmen Legends flashbacks ensue*
*blasts the danger room theme outside your house*
Langolier refrence #12
I can’t “like” this enough. I almost sent y’all my personal copy a few years ago. Wow! I’m so glad you’re doing this! Right when I get off work too! Perfect!
Langoliers references get me through the day.
I love going back to this episode. This was the first comic book I ever read. I remember having absolutely no context for anything that wasn't in the 90s cartoon and I ended up just rolling with it and having a blast.
This is one of the first storylines that I remember reading, I'm glad that you are reviewing it
Tiffany's face at 1:05:11
LMAO

2:30am here guess I'm not sleeping until 4am 😁
Oh God, "the flesh-based heroes" bit. Those characters we all try to forget hahaha

This was my First X men Story Arc. It made me wanna read all back stories featuring the New Mutants
THANK YOU SAL! OMG you knew I love X-Men. Comic Pop you are my favorite Story Channel. Hi Ethen! Hi Tiffany! 🙌
I love the fact that Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes did a version of this story. Instead of Cannonball meeting Eitri, Iron Man did and got Dwarf-crafted Iron Man armor.
And, yes, the Amora/Sym thing is not mentioned at all when she next appears.
Uru armor was awesome
Great job guys. I'd love to see you do more X-Men books. PlEAsE, I beg, this was honestly awesome.
31:46 - 32:06 why am I imagining Ruiz from Ant-Man whenever he explains a story or something 🤣🤣🤣.
I haven’t started the video, but I love it.
I love whenever Sal makes cracks about how bad Underworld is. My best friend growing up was obsessed with those movies and made me watch three of them
Puck was not born a dwarf, his stature was induced. So at least that seen in the book was not as problematic.
@1:07:03 I'm sorry did you just say Kurt decided the best way to give Anna his powers was to skywalker his sister?
Well looks like everything’s coming up Sunspot
Yas! Another Langoliers reference!!
Always excited to see more X-Men content
Always great to hear that piano intro
Sees Wolverine's Asgardian costume
*shudders*
Skurge actually uses M16s. I'm such a dweeb lol
Fun! Thanks for covering this!
Fun Fact - The Arkon Annual story is the first time we learn Cyclops' powers are sun-based. He spends slow long fighting in a place without a sun that he starts running low on optic juice.
When I saw this I actually said "yaaaay". I'm going to search for the bass that used to be in my voice.
Love listening to ComicPOP! while I'm at work. Have you guys ever considered doing an audio only version of Back Issues on Soundcloud maybe? That would be AWESOME.
Who else had the 90's X men theme pop in their head when they read that title?
They threw Shaman's sack in the woods lmao
I love when you do team books!
Holy shit, that palace was straight out of “Eureka’s Castle”!!
Spicy, salty, sour, sweet, bring us something good to eat!
With Nightcrawler as Batley, and after he BAMFS he immediately crashes
Awesome episode.
You just frolicked around wolfspane it's not like you got on all fours and....
Oh man That happened in the What if comic where they had to stay
Good God!!! Amazing xmen stories! I love this show!
"Dammit Loki, this is that Bullshit we were talking about! Whats wrong with you boy!?!?"
Has the whole "Loki is super into Storm" idea ever come back? Cause I kinda want this to come back.
I don't think so... But I know that wolverine once had a major thing for her.
@@alicedubois1348 to compensate for not having Jean
I watched langiloiers as a kid. I was truly horrified
Me too.
best thing to listen to before class.
from what i remember things gets crazier between the wolf guy and wolfsbane
Langolier reference!
I have to say that I like the Spider-Man tee that Tiffany is wearing
I like to do this weird thing, where after I find a trade, I come back and watch the episode again, following along, and I just found the copy, Ethan is holding, for 5 bucks 😊
Have Thor and the X-Men ever actually interacted in any meaningful way? Trying to imagine Thor walking around the Xavier mansion and it's a very odd image.
More X-Men plz!!
The wolf form could be a camoflauge thing
The scene when Loki explains that mutants will still be able to create things and Cyclops blasts him for basically being ignorant. Then the North pantheon shows up to yell at Loki for not knowing Midgard current events lol. I hope we get that in the MCU with Tom and whoever they cast as young X-men and hearing Loki exasperated at the thought . “You’re suggesting I read their NEWS now, Thor?”
Isnt there a series were Loki became sorcerer supreme?
He recently did in Donny Cates Dr. Strange run.
My favorite part of this story is literally the What If, what if the X-men stayed in Asgard?
what?? How did I miss this upload after 2 days?
asgard storm is my favorite storm design
Can you guys do umbrella academy since the show just released
Madelyne turned Wolverine into Caped Joel!
Why do I always think that Comicpop has done Schism?
Whats up Sal, Tiffany, Jason and Ethan. I was curious, out of all the comics you've coverd, who are your favorite comic book artist/illustrators?
Does anyone know if Sal, Tiffany Ethan or Ben mentioned illustrators or artist that they admire or like in other videos? Im doing some research on this topic.
Tiffany’s right, why are the New Mutants in this story??? Oh right, marketing. The Xmen parts are fun, needed much more Asgardian Storm!
6:34 Sorry. Just had to.
You know?, because dwarves are in pain because they are consistently being squished by gravity.
Ethan I feeeeel your facepalm 🤦🏽♂️.
NICE!
Felt like Asgardians were so much more powerful than human mutants at that point.
yay x-men fighting loki :)
I like the X-Men but damn did they have a confusing history
Isn't Hel the daughter of Loki?
Wow I read the Rogue/Northstar interaction completely differently. To me, Rogue saw Northstar’s repressed homosexuality, and saw that as an opportunity to let him know that she cares by being a friend. Instead of outing him to his face or in front of everyone, she chose to just be present. I saw it as a friendly kiss and a friendly dance, but I could be way off with this interpretation!
At that point in time,Sunspot wasn’t even close to being the strongest mutant.
You know who thinks he is? Claremont.
Hello darkness my old friend
Rouge had 2 moms yet her gaydar is absolutely horrible
Rogue options to seduce
Xavier: too old
Sasquatch: too hairy
Logan: too old and too hairy
Nightcrawler: brother
Puck: who?
Cyclops: married
Colossus: kitty’s
Northstar: Gay
Rogue: gay is the way
Is it me or does ol boy narrating refer to only storm as a bad bitch...and comment that sunfire is banging bitches...seem a bit problematic...I forgive tho.
Douglock!
No other races in Asgard....isnt one of the warriors three Asian?
Yeah but he isn't a Aesir like most Asgardian.
Thankyou. Fainally something that isn't Batman.
What a weird story.
First kinda
#noremorse
Do Spider-Gwen already!
There is one thing that it really annoys me ... I don’t know if it’s part of such videos, but do they pretend not knowing about New Mutants ? Even I that only occasionally read X-men in the past knew about them and who they were. I can’t believe Tiffany specially doesn’t have any knowledge.
They didn't grow up reading them, and Tiffany reads Indies for the most part. What a weird accusation.
I'm familiar with the concept of the New Mutants but I didn't know their names or anything about them. And I doubt I'll remember much about them after this.
No, Ethan. It's a conspiracy.
