I think the best argument for Darkseid having the simple tunic is this: Have you seen most of Jack Kirby's characters? Jack Kirby can do some crazy overdesigned dudes in his sleep. If he wanted a dude wearing a plain, simple tunic, you can bet that he made a conscious decision to give him a plain, simple tunic.
Some of the coolest parts of this book were used in DC animation: superman turning evil was in superman the animated series and g gordon godfrey WOULD HAVE TURNED OUT TO BE AN AGENT OF DARKSEID in young justice, let's hope for season 3
It's something about this episode that really tickles me. I actually laughed until I cried tears at one point during this video. Top notch guys, loved it!
Ah.... I thought you were just trying REAL HARD to keep the video under an hour. Good episode though. I dug it. My favorite Back Issues are when you, Ethan and Ben are going back to stuff from 20-plus years ago.
I always took the rockiness of Darkseid's face to be a Dorian Grey-esque physical manifestation of his evil (which, as Grant Morrison will tell you, is all-consuming). As in, he starts to look that way, but isn't, like the Thing, a biological creature with mineral-based skin. Although Kirby was probably just like, "I'll give him rock-skin, right?! Yeah, yeah, everyone loves the other character that I made with rocky skin!"
Honestly I love ComicPOP so much, it's one of the only channels that I "like" every video of before I even get 2 seconds into it. Keep up the good work guys!
There is something special about Sal, Ethan, and Ben all in one episode. Changing up the order is nice occasionally but I find it difficult to beat these three.
I think with the idea of new gods making avatars on earth means Godfrey was just a guy on earth he was born there but the true Godfrey exists in the fourth world
Woah that was an abrupt ending! Usually you guys sorta talk about the conclusion and your overall thoughts on the story which I enjoy. Hopefully thats not gone for good.
I am pretty sure there were Kenner Super Powers ads on the back covers of these issues. I only got the issue with Captain Marvel on the cover when I was a kid. Thanks for filling me in on what I missed. It only took 30 years to figure out what was going on in that story 😀
Legends was the mini-series that redefined the DC post-crisis universe... To date, I think it’s the best launching of a DC rebooted universe so far.👍🏻🙂👌🏻
This Martian Manhunter-led Justice League was not the post-Crisis JL. They were actually the iteration of the league post-Satellite era or Bronze Age. Founded by Aquaman and based in Detroit, they were disbanded after Legends to make way for Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis' JLI, which was the post-Crisis Justice League.
You know I'm suppose to be doing these evil deeds, but these superheroes keep foiling my plots. Are they DCLegends27? Who are DCLegends27? Some say DCLegend27 are the first Superheroes ever. Born from dank memes.
So do the heros remember Barry because it's confusing how they acknowledge Barry but non of them have met wonder woman so does wally remember Barry dieing in crisis or is his cause of death different
My sister always laughs at the name Apokolips. In spanish "a poco" could mean "really" as in expressing doubt or incredulity, maybe a closer equivalent could be "seriously?!". So to her Apokolips sounds really silly.
I wonder if G. Gordon Godfrey was partly named after G. Gordon Liddy, a chief executive in the Nixon Administration who went to prison over the Watergate scandal.
Yup. There was a reason that he was also the final boss of Justice League Unlimited after 5 seasons (JL and JLU combined). It's because DCAU Darkseid is legit scary.
Legends was a blessing after the Detroit league. for a bit it seemed like they were going to keep the new JLa as the permanent team so seeing them get replaced was very nice. (even though a couple of them were pretty cruelly killed off). and the great Super Powers figures were in stores, including Dr Fate!
one thing before Detroit league for most of the late 70s to 80s is that you'd very seldom get the big 3, if any of them in Justice League stories. you'd get one or two, and then the second and third and fourth stringers. and Barry Allen Flash was busy almost all the time with his own problems . so the use of the DC Trinity being in most league stories is really only about 26 years old since about late 1996.
I dunno guys. This stories kinda weak, but the idea that this was all building up to "AW YEAH WONDER WOMAN'S HERE" is pretty great. They started her story completely over after Crisis on Infinite Earths, so of course we need another huge event to reintegrate her into the "present" of the DC Universe. It's kinda like when she shows up in Batman v Superman, it doesn't redeem the story as a whole but it's definitely a stand up and cheer moment.
Hey Guys can you maybe do the "Justice" Story with Art by Alex Ross and written by Jim Krueger. I really love that Story because every Superhero has His awesome Moment.
Pick up DC Legends here: amzn.to/2sgAXOq

this is a great argument lol Jack Kirby was definitely intentional
Erik Mussoni ; is that b
I m k. K be.
Poor Diana. Sacrifices it all to be of service to humanity and the first example of man's world that you meet is Guy Gardner. x.x
These hour long episodes make me amazed that you guys used to do all of this standing up.
My legs hurt watching old episodes
Hmmm. G. Gordon Godfrey? J. Jonah Jameson? Connection?????
Godfrey is based on Billy Graham. In that he is a zealous hypocrite, hence God-free
"Operation Humiliation", sounds like a command that Soundwave would give in Transformers G1.
I remember seeing this book when I was younger. and I opened it and saw bunch of words and said "nope."
It's Over 9000 Productions lmmfao true
I hate when people forget about Firestorm. :( He's my favorite because he was awesome when I was watching Batman Brave and the Bold as a kid.
You know a DC Crisis doesn't feel right unless someone says, "... and then the Flash ran sooooo fast..."
Love you guys though
Omg when sal said leeegaccyy and then looked at the book I busted a gut
If you go back to the old episodes Sal and Ben were bigger. They have lost a lot of weight. Good Job guys 😁
And Ethan was a lot paler.
Great outdoors-manship from the Raphael of comic-pop.
Holyshit it's true.
Justice League International for Back Issues.
Finally a concise sermon illustration for Job

It's something about this episode that really tickles me. I actually laughed until I cried tears at one point during this video. Top notch guys, loved it!
59:01 Ethan’s fake laugh transforming into a real one was fucking gold 😂
Holy shit.... Sal defended Guy Gardner's character... I never thought this would happen...
I love ComicPop!!!
Same
That was a rather abrupt ending. I wanted more!!! Great episode
+Ivan Garcia Thanks Ivan! Video got corrupted so we lost a better ending.
Ah.... I thought you were just trying REAL HARD to keep the video under an hour. Good episode though. I dug it. My favorite Back Issues are when you, Ethan and Ben are going back to stuff from 20-plus years ago.
Joker: "Superheroes are illegal!"
Batman: "Being a criminal is illegal!" *bam!*
I fucking love Back Issues! I hope you guys are saving Future's End for the 200th episode. That'd be EPIC.... *Sal's voice* New 52.

Did Ethan get in a knife fight or something?
There is something special about Sal, Ethan, and Ben all in one episode. Changing up the order is nice occasionally but I find it difficult to beat these three.
Are you guys gonna do DarkSeid War? I want you guys to do it and soon!!!!
They did Forever Evil they HAVE to do the follow up!
Peinguin Movie Yea, I thought they would do it a couple epsiodes after their DC Rebirth video
i am hoping they can do a review of darkside war because that would be amazing or do a review of futures end
BrainiacGaming probably when justice league movie comes out
Batarang Nerd why DarkSeid isnt goning to be in the movie its fonna be StephenWolf
One of the few DC related things on Back Issues I've never read before, I love it!
Hell Yea!!! I've been waiting on this week's back issues. Today's a good day.
The idea of Darkseid approaching a network to get a tv series greenlit is hilarious.
I think with the idea of new gods making avatars on earth means Godfrey was just a guy on earth he was born there but the true Godfrey exists in the fourth world
I like how the book acts like the speed of sound is too slow to be really effective.
Just like the store of the same name, this Blockbuster also dies a painful, forgettable death.
I'm Darkseid , I wear tunics now... tunics are cool
Woah that was an abrupt ending! Usually you guys sorta talk about the conclusion and your overall thoughts on the story which I enjoy. Hopefully thats not gone for good.
Video got corrupted so we had to cut it short.
I usually wait till the next day, but I'm glad I didn't this sounds cool! and I love how Ethan just tore this book a new hold
"DR BEDLAM!!!!!??? Godamnit." One of Sal's best quotes lol
I am pretty sure there were Kenner Super Powers ads on the back covers of these issues. I only got the issue with Captain Marvel on the cover when I was a kid. Thanks for filling me in on what I missed. It only took 30 years to figure out what was going on in that story 😀
Who'd've thought that *Captain Boomerang* would name the Suicide Squad
12:57 A LEGACY?
I'm really suprised you guys didn't make any Spaceballs Jokes about Darkseid playing with his action figures
Great Episode guys
Hey ComicPop, great show as always. Just wondering with Dark Tower comings out will you guys be doing the comic? (think Tiffany said she read it)
I love Sal's Reagan impression!
This channel is so fun. Never a dull moment!
Sal you should do Watchmen with your parents while doing your Alan Moore impression the whole time.
Boy, does this bring back memories...
Ben really crushed that superhero pose for the thumbnail.
I love Ben's face in this thumbnail
Finally the OG trio on Back Issues!
12:59 I found your next ComicPopShort lol.
Legends was the mini-series that redefined the DC post-crisis universe... To date, I think it’s the best launching of a DC rebooted universe so far.👍🏻🙂👌🏻
So this is basically the origin for Justice League International.
Ben looks like 90s superboy seriously slap on some Lennon sunglasses and you'll have. Superboy.
Smallvilles last season did a adaptation of this story for its whole season and it was actually really good
This Martian Manhunter-led Justice League was not the post-Crisis JL. They were actually the iteration of the league post-Satellite era or Bronze Age. Founded by Aquaman and based in Detroit, they were disbanded after Legends to make way for Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis' JLI, which was the post-Crisis Justice League.
Love the X-O MANOWAR shirt sal!
Does that mean G. Gordon Godfrey in Young Justice is working for Darksied and the light?
Yes, he's in the last scene of the season two finale.
Ayrton Chitwood Awesome, thank you.
Wait, so if G Gordan Godfree's power is to influence people then is that what he did in Young Justice Season 2? :0
Hell yes, we got an hour long episode!
hate arriving late to the party thanks to work. but at least I can watch it before bed.
Sal, i really want to see you explain all the Darkseid War nonsense lol. and Ethans reaction to it all.
Great job guys!! Also I wanted to request you guys cover 52 please.
Ethan was in rare form this episode lmao
Love this! I've never read it, thank you for telling me the story. :)
Watching this video in late Jan 2021 gets kind of weird around the 42nd minute mark.
You know I'm suppose to be doing these evil deeds, but these superheroes keep foiling my plots.
Are they DCLegends27?
Who are DCLegends27?
Some say DCLegend27 are the first Superheroes ever. Born from dank memes.
Good stuff. Keep them coming!
watching this now lol crazy how life imitates art and vice versa
So do the heros remember Barry because it's confusing how they acknowledge Barry but non of them have met wonder woman so does wally remember Barry dieing in crisis or is his cause of death different
They do and it's weird.
I would reeeeally like some Planetary...
My sister always laughs at the name Apokolips. In spanish "a poco" could mean "really" as in expressing doubt or incredulity, maybe a closer equivalent could be "seriously?!". So to her Apokolips sounds really silly.
Issue #1 was my first Comic Book I ever bought from a rack. Was confused why Superman wasn't in it. To be fair, I was 5
Holy moly I know what I'm doing for the next hour or so!
I was expecting a Spider-Man book for Homecoming Friday or a Captain America book for July 4th
I wonder if G. Gordon Godfrey was partly named after G. Gordon Liddy, a chief executive in the Nixon Administration who went to prison over the Watergate scandal.
i bet his is is gonna be the plot for young justice season 3
I love the clue reference
(7:00) This moment had me cracking up, but if you pause it at 7:04 you'll thank me 😂
Ben! Your hair looks great 👍🏼
You guys need to do New Gods sometime. It would save so much explaining
Yay another classic comic I have zero Contacts for! Thank you comic pop lets get weird!
I was wondering if you guys could do the Phalanx Covenant. I think Ethan would have a field day with that story.
Man that is a solid Reagan impression Sal. You should update your resume.
Is this story attached to the dark knight return, like did the superhero ban stem from this story into the dark knight returns on a different earth
No, but that's a great headcanon!
this story sounds familiar to the type of story Smallville did in season 10
So Wonder Woman in this had the same amount of care and screen time in this introduction of her as BvS did lmao..
The Darkseid in the Superman animated series is the DEFINITIVE Darkseid.
Debatable
Michael Ironside's voice is what I hear in my head when i read Darkseid
mircro usb charger debatable yes
Yup. There was a reason that he was also the final boss of Justice League Unlimited after 5 seasons (JL and JLU combined). It's because DCAU Darkseid is legit scary.
This was such a great episode.
Great choice and great episode! Still the only show on youtube I consider appointment viewing
Legends was a blessing after the Detroit league. for a bit it seemed like they were going to keep the new JLa as the permanent team so seeing them get replaced was very nice. (even though a couple of them were pretty cruelly killed off). and the great Super Powers figures were in stores, including Dr Fate!

So...
Doctor Bedlam is Kenny from South Park?
The only Legend here is how bad Bryne draws kids.
I dunno guys. This stories kinda weak, but the idea that this was all building up to "AW YEAH WONDER WOMAN'S HERE" is pretty great. They started her story completely over after Crisis on Infinite Earths, so of course we need another huge event to reintegrate her into the "present" of the DC Universe.

please tell me you guys are doing Justice League International?
Could you guys do something Man-Thing related. My recomendations are Infernal Man-Thing 1-3 and Legion of Monsters:Man-Thing
why đo some of your back issues have seasons and episode information in the description and not others
Hey Guys can you maybe do the "Justice" Story with Art by Alex Ross and written by Jim Krueger. I really love that Story because every Superhero has His awesome Moment.
This was a great episode.
I love Phantom Stranger
zoidberg in the background!!!
that episode wrap up was faster than wally and would have made him even more insecure....just sayin...sal out did wally wests flash
