Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Saturday Morning Adventures SERIES BREAKDOWN
This series came out right when I started collecting comics.
I'm so glad I found your videos seriously the humor and commentary is on point
Thanks for doing all of these. I always wanted to read some of these classic stories . I often get them in trades. Englehart and Thomas wrote good stories, but their dialogue and exposition is just too dated and clunky . Still, this was a good fight and team up.
Greatest crossover ever, and still the single greatest comic book story ever told!
The "two teams race against time and each other to retrieve an artifact in order to save the world/universe", is/was severely overused by Marvel. They use it in 80% of their crossovers; shit, it was even used in their crossovers with DC. 😅😅😅
I know there are people who credit this as the comic that sunk the industry, there completely wrong as i feel there are multiple factors that contributed to it, but i always found the death and return of Superman to be a well written and well told story. While very much a 90s comic is part of the 90s DC era which despite some fashion, slang, and extreeeeeeme elements still tried to maintain a more timeless quality unlike much of Marvel and most of Image at the time. You can pick this book up and still enjoy it very much today and from death to this story is very much on the list of trade paperbacks i recommend to people who want to get into comics.
Absolutely. Unfortunately, every big event story tends to get a lot of hate thrown at it, probably because they tend to upset the status quo, but I typically love them. Death and Return are some of my favorite Superman comics, certainly the stories I've reread the most over the years.
Subby makes no mention of his and Cap's partnership in the Invaders for a very simple reason. Avengers #116 was cover dated Oct. of '73. Giant Size Invaders #1 (the first appearance and origin of the group) is a retroactive continuity title, not published until June of '75. So....when Subby says this, they hadn't thought up the Invaders yet.
The retro continuity of the Invaders was not yet created at this point and it wasn't the real Steve Rogers who was in the All Winners Squad that followed the Avengers. When Kang sent the Avengers to WW2 and the Grandmaster brought the real Captain America together was at that point the first time we knew the three were in the same place at the same time. Eventually Invaders will show this was not their first meeting by a long shot. Even in the Golden Age though Cap encountered the Torch but not Submariner to my knowledge. The anniversary books Marvel did established Cap intervening when the Submariner ambushed Torch because he's such a vengeful cuss!
You forgot that The Submariner and Hulk had teamed up to destroy the Avengers back in issue #3. No wonder the Avengers believed the Defenders were the bad guys!
I mentioned it briefly in the intro.
This must be an alternate reality version of Bucky Barnes 18:54 where is my no prize?
I bet you dazzler is
I was obsessed with this comic as a kid. I loved all the international heroes. Over the years I have collected all of their sporadic comic appearances. 😊
All the new international heroes were probably my favorite part of the story
Canadian American?? Wolverine is Canadian.
I was suggesting that I didn't know if his time with the X-Men meant he was repping America or if he was supposed to be repping Canada since he's Canadian. I probably should have at least made the "American" a question or fully explain that thought.
Excellent
I liked Darkstar and Vanguard way back in 82. Their powers were imaginative and their look were cool. But, I WAS 12.
I can definitely see Darkstar. I've always kind of liked her.
Couldn’t finish video to obnoxious and corny!
Hope you're having a good day
26:03 Ed Grimley!!! 😂😂😂
I'm so glad at least one person got that reference!
I'm about 7 min in and hearing "thw unknown" so many times has broken me lol... I mean at this point is anyone still actually unsure of who that is? I may have a little knowledge bias since I'm 46 ans my brother is 50, so we had these comics 1st run and who doesn't love a giant coming together of coming of a billion characters fighting in teams for ALL THE STAKES like this? So naturally we've read this story 100 times so I obviously know... But come on, the purple-ish blue-ish black-ish hooded cloak, the hands clasped in front, I mean... all that's missing is a certain curved bladed two handles farming tool, just to make it even more painfully obvious 😅.... Anyway I won't "spoil" at this time, if I haven't already lol... but uh... yeah... Cooky....
9:47 FCUK YEAH dude... that site is just MIND BLOWING!
I bought this for my hulk collection, but they just kicked him out and I lost interest I think I still have it somewhere.
Oh you from the H I'll subscribe
Make mine Marauders murdering mutant Morlocks in March from Marvel without Magneto (for some reason!).
March labeled comics came out in December. The date is for newsstand distributors to pull the comic and send the cover back for reimbursement. April dated books were January and those always had the distribution notice and sales figures.
This was a great series and I'm not ashamed to say I read the entire thing online while at work. Really solid art throughout and collected, it must be great. REQUEST FOR REVIEW: SECRET WARRIORS from Marvel. It's a great run with mostly new characters so there's real stakes that these characters will get killed off in any given issue a thrill ride.
Rick Jones is so cool he worked as a 2nd unit driver for the Shazam movie. Keep in mind Marvel had Captain Marvel in theaters at the same time in 2019. He must be salty he's never even been mentioned in the MCU...
That's pretty much what I keep thinking. I can't believe we've made it this far in a Marvel movie universe without even a hint of Rick Jones!
OMG...you get Sui-San. The joke is that the mighty Thanos had a mother named Susan. I'm sure that's what Starlin intended.
Another great breakdown. Please keep at it!
I just don't see that grappling hook capturing such an odd shaped item. Lame.
Yeah, grappling hooks are incredibly magical in comic books. They do whatever the person holding it needs them to do.
I bought the original series when they first came out and loved it...except for the GLARING in-story continuity error. In contest 4, Shamrock is on Death's team and she wins. This should have tied the contest 2-2, but the end of the chapter gives the win to the Grandmaster and declares him the victor 3-1. Great story idea and I loved it as a kid, but the narrative is completely blown by this in-story continuity error.
You're absolutely right. I even made the extra list so I could keep track and still managed to miss that somehow! There probably was going to be a tie breaker game in the original story, but the introduction suggests the original story was never finished, so I guess they just fiddled with the numbers to bring a quicker end and hoped nobody would notice.
How the fuck do they fuck that up
I remember reading this as a kid and loving it. Then second read through I was like “Wait-a-minnut”… How did they…? What the…? Totally ruined it for me. I still got the originals. I don’t think I ever looked at them again after that disappointment. 😅
👍🏽
So this is what comic Fandom is now? Crapping on artist and comics from the past is cool nowadays I guess...comics were escapism from the real world we didn't want or need everything to be based on realistic things
Ok this vid was mad cool on Sunday! Lol remember reading books 📚 I hope u continue doing vids like this 🖖🏽💥🔥💨
I’ve always been curious about this and really have no idea what it’s all about .. how exciting !!
Lack Simiestro new 52 G.i zombie new 52 Pandora new 52 Challengers of unknow new 52 Larfleeze new 52 And others you do review of this comics too?
I plan to get to them eventually! It has definitely taken me longer to get through the new 52 than I anticipated but I want to eventually cover every series!
I can't hear you. Please scream louder
WILL DO!
Totally enjoyed this episode. Will be subscribing.😊
Hope you'll have a good day
I can actually do this in Action Figures as I actually have a Custom Swordsman, and I have all the others in Action Figures.
Nice! I'm shocked there hasn't at least been a Marvel Legends Swordsman figure.
I use the Guardians Mantis and she's okay. I would prefer a Comics version but, I'll take what I can get.
My Defenders also has Hellcat and Nighthawk, and soon will have Damian Hellstrom. All together I have 76 Avengers, but that's counting 5 Hank Pym, 2 Scott Lang, 2 Carol Danvers, 7 Customs, and 3 Fudges. Customs are Swordsman, Jack of Hearts, Crystal, Stingray, D-Man, Silverclaw, and Firebird. Fudges (using 1 Figure as another) are Rick Jones, Echo, and Original Human Torch Jim Hammond. Used to use a lot more Customs, but Hellcat, Justice, Firestar, Quasar, Ronin, Mantis, Moondragon, Thunderstrike, Jocasta, and others have been released.

...I both hate that you said that and that you're right. Seriously regretting some choices now...
@@CaptainAway 🤣
I saw thecbeginning when surfer met vision and wanda and the conclusion when theyvreturned the evil eyeindidnt see the ither battles. Thanks. Why didnt you explain thst the evil eye was broken into 6 pieces when johnny storm tried to take it butbit waa dhot out of his hands and it blew up
It just felt unnecessary to go too deep into describing the FF issue. It might have been a good idea because it would have allowed me to explain Prester John, helping clarify the ending of the story, but it just felt like unnecessary clutter taking away from talking about the main story.
Since their original run no revival of the Defenders has ever worked sadly. I wonder what it is? I loved that series so much, right up until it beame a more standard team with the OG X Men.
The Fraction run was decent. Son was the recent Ewing one . The classic team is the best , though.
Another great job!.I appreciate the work you put in!
I think the first major Marvel crossover was FF Annual #3. Other than the FF it had about 26 heroes and 28 villains. Virtually the entire roster of Marvel characters at the time it was published in 1965.
It probably depends a little on just how you want to define "the first," but I think what I've been learning these past couple months is that almost no matter how you slice it... it wasn't really secret wars.
@@CaptainAway Well, only Secret Wars was Secret Wars, so yeah.
Hawkeye didn't betray the avengers. Let's go down the well of bones for his story. He left feeling not respected. He stoped Zaxxx with hulk and ran into val and subby, on their way to Dr strange's house. He tages along and gets involved.
I know he didn't betray the Avengers. I was saying Loki told the Avengers that Hawkeye betrayed them.
@@CaptainAway sounds good
You're doing the Lord's work.
This was my first series of comics that I read as a kid. It started my love for Marvel, the Avengers and Defenders. It was very exciting to read and learn all the characters. Thanks for covering it.
My pleasure! This was a fun one.
@@CaptainAwaymy first issue was 109, issue 110-111 is a great two parter that you should check out!
I read as a kid too and thought battles were super epic. Anxiously waiting for each issue, I recall re-reading each one. I don't know where my original copies are, but a couple decades later, I found copies in back issue boxes from my LCS and still have the complete run today. Thanks for taking me down comic memory lane. 😊 😅
I really hope this channel gains the notoriety and success it deserves, I’ve been a follower since late 2022 on my other channel and it’s been worth the subscription since day 1
Hey, it's Thor. Who wouldn't want a taste of that joystick!

9:07 I think Bob Brown may have been the only artist to draw the Surfer with toes. 9:36 that third panel 😂😂😂
Oh man, I didn't even notice the toes! They look so wrong on Surfer!
