Fun fact: Spidey wasn't originally supposed to have teamed-up with Black Widow and Silver Sable in this story. He was originally going to team-up with Flash Thompson/Agent Venom and Black Cat, as confirmed by double-page preview in one of the ASM issues and, later, by Slott himself. This didn't happen because Agent Venom was deep into another storyline and Mark Waid wanted to have Black Cat be a potential love interest/foil for Daredevil, if I remember correctly. This also implies that Black Cat, not Silver Sable, was the one who would've "died" in this story, too.
This and Spider-Island were actually two of the first stories I read after seriously getting into comics back in early middle school and I used to reread them all the time in class. It’s been such a trip seeing my favorite comic content creators go over them.
"Wonderman sucks" - isn't that kinda the point? He was mainly created to die and be a motivation for Vision and Scarlett Witch to go on their respective arcs of the time.
Well Vision wouldn’t exist without Wonderman seeing as he was patterned after him. Also Wonderman is cool okay… I personally don’t like Pacifist him though.
Hi Sal. Just wondering: You seem to be on good terms with the "Mr. Sunday Movies"-guys (I noticed that you substituted as the host of their show once or twice). So: Have you ever considered doing a crossover with them? There perfect book for you to talk about with them (considering that they are Australians), in my opinion, would be: "Superman. They saved Luthor's Brain!". The story of Lex Luthor faking his death and coming back in a clone body (in which he has transferred his brain), with a lavish mane of red hair, pretending to be his own illegitimate Australian son.
I'm happy they mentioned the issue I have everytime someone used camouflage or goes invisible. Somehow even if they were right in front of someone once they turn invisible they also magically are in a different spot.

I kinda respect how Slott knew spectacle would always keep asses in seats so to speak and how he has these brief moments where you see how he's a competent writer
@@jerrisatyourwindow I would argue Dan Slott's Spider-Man run deserves a B+. It flopped around after Superior Spider-Man but I loved Spider-Verse and Going Down Swinging so much. That and I would take Slott over Wells any day.
About halfway through this episode, I think it would have been much more interesting if Doc Ock really was trying to save the world, and Peter couldn’t accept it.
Now, this is truly something I was not expecting. I remember hearing about this story before. I don’t recall ever getting around to reading it, so I’m definitely gonna enjoy this a heck of a lot!
Spider-Man: "As long as I'm around, no one dies!" J J J: " Son, from the bottom of my heart, that is without a shadow of a doubt the stupidest goddamn thing I've ever heard in my 75 years on this earth.".
All this could have been prevented if he went to Dr. Strange. He was a surgeon and, I assume, at one point, a medical doctor with a licence to practice.
My ideal Sinister Six is Doc Oc, Electro, Mysterio, Sandman, Rhino and Kraven!!! This series came close to nailing the ideal team, swap Chameleon for Kraven
That part bugs me since doesn't Thor die from the World Serpent's venom and not the fangs? I know I'm being persnickety about a mythological magic snake in a comic but still it's not that hard to get things to match up.
I remember Spider-Man ends of earth it was a interesting epic Spider-Man story with Peter Parker Spider-Man teaming up with the avengers to stop doc ock and his sinister Six from destroying the entire earth. However besides that cool idea everything else in this story it’s fine and should’ve been the end of dan slott run on Spider-Man, unfortunately though as we learned that wasn’t the case and he kept going and going until he wear out his welcome and really needed to leave this book ASAP, not stay on the book for 10 years and do jack and shit.
I remember when this series came out, there was six beautiful variant covers, each featuring a member of the sinister six with a defeated Spiderman. I was able to obtain The Sandman and Chameleon covers, but I vividly remember seeing The Electro and Rhino variants online and they were beautiful! Not a fan of the Doc design here so I passed on it
Sal: they all lose except for big hero 6 (sarcasm ahead) Um akshually Big hero 6 fail to get the chip spider-man needs. Union Jack defeats his villain/doc ocks giant robots AND gets the chip they need. (it's the last cool thing marvel let union jack do before making him a joke)
Between slot writing amazing Spider-Man for 10 years and Spencer taking over amazing Spider-Man afterwards…there hasn’t really been a solid Spider-Man run in a while
I want you guys to do more Doc Ock centric books! He's such a goofy yet somehow badass character 😂 I would love for you to cover the referenced story where Norman gives Ock's woman AIDS and they have a rivalry over it 😂😂😂
This story reminded me of how much I dislike Slott as a writer most of the time. He writes Peter as an immature man child. I’m glad Spencer has been attempting to let Pete grow up
Has there ever been a story in which Spiderman (Peter Parker...not Doc Oc version or another version) that has gone bad? I'd like a story where Spidey shows everyone what he can really do if let loose...

That does make more sense given the era but I’m also very happy that didn’t happen
Every Spider-man back issues always has one extremely dark sexual joke 😂😂
Everyone forgets about the Human Torch starring in half of those Marvel Team-Up books.
More like nobody cares.
Spider-man: "Oh, so a bunch of mutants just blew up your home and murdered your family? You know what, while I'm around...."
“This isn’t an anime”
Since I know Sal is a ProZD fan all I could think of was “Too bad her opponent is an idiot”
Which Prozd skit is that from?
@@dinosaurusmaximus8506 It’s his sports commentators commenting on romance anime video
I agree with Sal, I wouldn't care about the arms if the female version of Doc Ock said "get over here."
Why did I just picture Scorpion from Mortal Kombat?
I love this story simply because it showcases how well Spider-Man knows his villains.
The degenerate sexual jokes in every Spidey vid are part of the many reasons I love this channel. And once again you did not disappoint.
My favorite is the one about Aunt May in Spider-Man Reign.
Absolutely vile.
I have learned more about the abilities of Doctor Octopus's arms from Back Issues than I ever wanted to.
This and Spider-Island were actually two of the first stories I read after seriously getting into comics back in early middle school and I used to reread them all the time in class. It’s been such a trip seeing my favorite comic content creators go over them.
48:54 That synchronous "whoof" by Ben and Ethan somehow implanted the full emotional effect of Marvel Tsunami in my mind and soul.
Sal is a good friend and matched shirts with Ethan and Ben! One flannel and one Superman 😅
the dr occ attractiveness part had me dying
And then Spider-Man heroically removes the machines that could end global warming forever in order for humanity to learn from its mistakes.
Does Captain America work on Pokemon logic? Is he weak to ice-types?
Lol
41:07 i did NOT expect this savagery from ethan out of nowhere, i fucking died lol

Yes! Mr Sunday Movies / Weekly Planet crossover would be amazing. My two favorite YT channels for this comic content and such
I am 10000000% on board with this.
im pretty sure he was a guest on elseworld exchange once
I want Ben and Mason in the same room! I know the room will quickly catch fire, but it will be glorious!
What episodes did he do? I enjoy that channel

25:31. Oh! Oh Sal, you are breaking my hear man. That was literally my favorite costume to wear in Spidey PS4.
That whole conversation about Doc's extra arms... oh my. That was so funny, I busted up out loud.

Spider-Man’s campaign promises
Describing an animal spider is just shattered dimensions.
This was one of the first spiderman books I got on my own as a kid, I was confused as hell but I loved it
When you mentioned the Sinister Syndicate I immediately thought "man I hope Sal covers Superior Foes"
“What Do you think of Dan Slott’s characterization Peter Parker/Spider-Man?”
Me: 24:42
Doc Ock tentacle time with special attachments had me dying.
21:20-23:20 is one of the funniest exchanges in Back Issues history

A friend showed me the panels of rhino and Silver Sable and that's all i knew of this. Context didn't make the scene any better 🤣🤣🤣
Wow, it took less than 4 minutes for Sal to call out Wonderman's two fans.
YES! I have Spider-Man Unlimited #3 and it’s wild. Makes Doc Ock seem like an actual human, which nobody asked for in 1993
