Man, imagine if we got like the X-Men Evolution and animated Teen Titans as a crossover? Would be great to see those characters interact! Robin and Cyclops, Starfire and Shadowkat, Raven and Rogue, Nightcrawler and Spyke with Beast Boy and Cyborg!
I have the X-Men/Teen Titans crossover book. It's a single issue comic printed on baxter paper. I got through Evilbay a year or so back and I didn't pay more than $10 for it. So as long as people don't start artificially inflating its value you can get it pretty cheap. It's awesome!
Deathstroke has a healing factor it's just nowhere near Wolverine's also he is not just a guy he was experimented on and enhanced toward the end of his military career and became a super soldier basically he's a one eyed amoral Captain America who was already highly trained before he got upgraded LOL
Cartagia 64 Only better trained he spent majority of military career when not on missions learning many different styles of fighting as well as becoming a master strategist think of him as the "anti-batman" that is how Marv Wolfman envisioned and set him up as in the early comics in fact Christopher Priest is doing an amazing job in my opinion of showing this and getting to the core of the character in his current run on Deathstroke since the start of Rebirth in fact I highly recommend reading his Batman vs Deathstroke storyline which just came out in hardcover trade last week it has a throwaway premise which it's meant to be to bring them into conflict but that's just so he can write an examination about how similar and different both characters are and how they view each other
I'm sure you're right. I really don't know much about the DC Universe, but know enough to know Deathstroke is pretty awesome. I was more just joking about the line, "... basically he's a one eyed amoral Captain America who was already highly trained before he got upgraded ", which you gotta admit describes Nick Fury to a 'T'
So he’s basically Deadpool and Wolverine, just without the running mouth and one-liners; Captain American, just without the moral code; and the Terminator, just without the timeline errors and exoskeleton.
At long last, you guys FINALLY covered the Titans/X-Men crossover!! Making jokes and poking fun at a story that's already perfect makes for a great episode. I have the single issue of this, and yes---it's only one issue that's just double the length, not two separate books (and the picture behind Sal and the gang is the wrap around cover). I just asked for it at my local comic shop, and they had it, along with a bunch of the other Marvel/DC crossovers. It's easier to find them in their single issues vs. the collected volumes that Sal's using here.
I like to think that Kitty being into Beast Boy is written to be dumb because of how she doesn’t like Kurt because he’s blue yet Gar is fucking green 😂
Love the beginning talking about JLA/Avengers never reprinting, since it dropped this week they’re doing a limited run so George Perez can see it before he passes. Hopefully comic pop can get a copy
*Chuck:* "Do you think I can just forgive you? Let bygones be bygones?! You broke into my home! Accused me! Attacked me! Attacked me again! Attempted to kidnap me! Took me away from my students!" *Robin:* "...We have this chair." *Chuck:* "...That is a bitchin' chair. _sits_ I've always wanted a hoverchair. Maybe when we get home...No, Charles. Focus. That's stupid."
The idea on Deathstroke is that he uses 90% of his potential ability instead of the normal 10%. He's not so much super-powered as over-achieving, more akin to Peter Cannon Thunderbolt than Captain America.
W K Deathstrokes origin is that he joins Vietnam at 16, becomes the best fighter and shooter of his platoon and volunteers for an experiment that would makes soldiers invulnerable to truth serum. as it turns out though it was actually a test for a super soldier serum. The army honorably discharges slade because the serum made him crazy so slade turns to mercenary work.
@@wk3820 This isn't an attack against you. But, no... The whole "uses 90%, rather than 10%" is an asinine premise that was brought about by the misguided belief that humans only use ten percent of their brain, which has been disproven repeatedly for at least well over a decade now. While it is true that there are certain things that inhibit the total amount of strength humans can muster, it wouldn't be a matter of simply tweaking a few things to allow a person to access that extra reservoir of strength because doing so could potentially lead s person to injure themselves. Some of these inhibitors are even "mechanical" in the sense that they are other parts of the body that work against whatever actions an individual may be taking to prevent them from using too much strength or applying to much force. Deathstroke *is* an enhanced human, just like Captain America. While exact figures are hard to discern, especially with DC Comics constantly rebooting and ret-conning things, Deathstroke is generally capable of lifting and maneuvering multiple tons with the same type of effort your average, adult, male human would put forth to lift two hundred to four-hundred and fifty pounds (depending upon their overall health and fitness). As for his mental capabilities, he doesn't access ninety percent of his brain. The neural pathways and synapses within his brain have been enhanced to allow it to process information nine times more efficiently than the average human. All humans utilize the entirety of their brain. They just don't use every portion simultaneously or to the same extent.
one thing Simonson does that few other artists do is make each Parademon have a different look. this is different than most other portrayals all the way to the post Infinite Crisis era
I just wish DC &Marvel Did more crossover is like this with Deadpool, Moon Knight, The Sentry,The Creeper(Jack Ryder),Harley Quinn and Freakaziod(Dexter Douglas)!!
Been waiting for you guys to get around to this one since you first did a crossover from that book. Didn't know about the Source Wall thing, that's awesome!
So y'all are basically saying that the Dark Phoenix not only destroyed a sun and killed an entire race of aliens that were sentient, but she also destroyed Tamaran and not once did the GL Guardians step in😂. So now they are responsible for the death of Kypton, Kalaton (From John Stuart and Man Hunter side quest), Tamaran, and a random solar system in the Marvel Universe. Somebody needs to call Hr or the corporate office, cuz these smurfs are extremely ineffectual and we deserve better lol.
Why didn’t they just use the Source Wall as a way of revealing that on the other side is actually other multiverses and one of them happens to be Marvel? That’s the easiest fix ever! Hell, they could have easier explained the TMNT, Aliens and Predator crossovers later!
Another wonderful episode of Back Issues! You all never fail to make me laugh and that always brighten my day. I have so much respect and appreciation for everything you all do. Much love and thanks for all the laughs!
Well actually Sal his name is either Gar or Garfield. Garth is aqualad. Easy mistake I call Kaldur Garth while watching Young Justice by mistake from time to time. I’m just joking you can call them whatever you want. :( don’t be mad at me
🙌 Thank you everyone at the Little House and to the whole PoPulation. I love X-Men soo much. I checked out the New book "Previously on X-Men" its great.
Can't remember the story but there was a comic of a parademon told a story of its life and hopes and at the end a hero killed it so no one knew they weren't mindless during a war
Remember how weirdly conservative Wally used to be,like that one time he freaked out and beat up that one Russian hero cus "what about the deaths caused by Communism?" And complained how the rest of the titans were super liberal?
Reading New Teen Titans, it felt like Wolfman doesn't like Wally much. I really like that Red Star issue though, where Wally was so determined to stop him. What a sad ending in that book.
It might just be nostalgia and only being born in 96, but is ‘Slade’ really that bad? Simple, sweet, not trying as hard and yet still pronounced as ‘Slayed’ if you need the super-naming
Little late to the show here. Loved this comic when it came out. Yeah, back in the day nobody cared about continuity and crap that all the current whiner readers get they're panties all twisted over. All we needed was a great story. Didn't matter if it was from two different comic labels.
I kind of love that there's an alternate Earth "inbetween" the DC and Marvel universes where both DC and Marvel characters coexist. If DC and Marvel could actually get along, there'd be a lot of cool stuff you could do with that.... but I also love the idea that what's beyond the Source Wall is the Marvel multiverse.
Marvel and DC have a friendly rivalry if anything. It's just fans that are toxic.
I always thought that Inbetween earth would be where the Amalgam Universe was.
@@homeb0ys7515they did sure, until Joe Quesada very publicly insulted them during the making of the JLA/Avengers crossover. It's been getting better since Joe left, but they haven't been a "friendly rivalry" since 2002
When Professor X sat on Metatron's chair he should've said this: This is mine now, this is the best damn chair I ever sat on. LOL
Nah, he actually said: “I have never felt power like this before!”
It starts vibrating like a massage chair
"It has a cupholder and a magazine pouch!" *In the 'my dress has pockets' voice*
Man, imagine if we got like the X-Men Evolution and animated Teen Titans as a crossover? Would be great to see those characters interact! Robin and Cyclops, Starfire and Shadowkat, Raven and Rogue, Nightcrawler and Spyke with Beast Boy and Cyborg!
19:06 And Sal set's off the comments by downplaying Deathstroke's healing factor and claiming he doesn't have any powers
Teen Titans meet the X-Men? The angst levels are off the charts! Run for the bunkers!
"It was holding something back; it doesn't matter, I don't wanna get into it, it sucks...."
No truer words have ever been spoken!! So hilarious!
Simonson had a bunch of great work in the 80s- this, Star Wars, and then revitalizing Thor and his cast old and new
PRAISE THE GODS! Ever since i found this channel i've been waiting for this episode to happen. and now it's finally here!
I have the X-Men/Teen Titans crossover book. It's a single issue comic printed on baxter paper. I got through Evilbay a year or so back and I didn't pay more than $10 for it. So as long as people don't start artificially inflating its value you can get it pretty cheap. It's awesome!
SECRET LOVE DRAGON!!!! YOU JUST FOUND THE NEW COMIC POP SHIRT!!!!
Looks like Storm and Starfire are competing to see who has the biggest head of hair in this crossover.
Deathstroke has a healing factor it's just nowhere near Wolverine's also he is not just a guy he was experimented on and enhanced toward the end of his military career and became a super soldier basically he's a one eyed amoral Captain America who was already highly trained before he got upgraded LOL

I did not know the OG Chris Claremont wrote this and Walt "Thor" Simonson drew it.... BUYS IMMEDIATELY
yay x-men and teen titans i loved this crossover it was tons of fun :)
If my 3rd place runner-up name was Slade Wilson I'd still feel pretty badass, all things considered.
Crazy that the Source Wall came from such a bizarre event.
I like to think that Kitty being into Beast Boy is written to be dumb because of how she doesn’t like Kurt because he’s blue yet Gar is fucking green 😂
This was a really solid episode if I might say. Same thing for last weeks.

SWEET! The first Marvel/DC crossover I read. And some 30 years later, still one of my favorites.
So who won did they save Jean and did raven win
I really enjoy back issues its nice just to have a show about friends reading comics without any agenda.
Huh, now TH-cam's making sure the bell doesn't work. What a great website...
Xavier doesn't listen in on all minds at all times. Can you imagine how maddening it would be to have EVERYONES minds in your head at once.

That's funny how Scott resisted against Dark Phoenix's power, ironically years later they did same thing again but handled so poorly.

thank god for you guys, i've been in bed sick all day and this episode made my night
I havent watched back issues in weeks due to being busy and I'm glad to come back to a little glimpse of heaven.
First appearance of the Source Wall bah! First appearance of Phoenix Cyclops!
Time to do this obligatory thing:
Darkseid is.
I actually have this team up book. Bought it at a flea market years ago.
So much fun to read.
Ethan's shirt game is strong. I always notice his nice shirts lol
Adding this one to the "To read" list
Just read it, it’s damn good!
Oh sweet! DC & Marvel definitely should do new crossovers. Really good ones though lol.
Xavier is occupied with finding out why kids love the taste of Cinnamon toast crunch.
Silly darkseid, trix is for kids!
I have this one. I loved both teams as a kid.
Isn't that machine vaguely evoking the machine from the Judas Contract?
I always read this story as if it could only happen because Metatron traveled past the source wall.
Yes! I was starting to think I was the only one who knew this book existed.
🙌 Thank you everyone at the Little House and to the whole PoPulation. I love X-Men soo much. I checked out the New book "Previously on X-Men" its great.
"Everyone in space knows each other" ? Wow. Not cool, Ben. Not cool.

Great episode, as always. On a tech note, the lav mics are an improvement.
I have this comic first ed still in the plasic
Never been read
12:25 Yeah we won't call him Deathstroke but we will have him melt in lava and be revived by Trigon as a decaying hellspawn. For kids!
(Insert m bison yes meme here)

Yep. He is a super soldier.
TH-cam apparently decided not to tell me that this was happening even though I subscribed and clicked the bell. Thanks, TH-cam!
If DC and Marvel (or Marvel and DC, I don’t blame you) would crossover now.
Who would crossover with who.
Harley/Deadpool probably
Personally, I would like to see Nightwing / Spider-Man
You guys had me laughing alot,I really enjoy your back ( and bat) issues videos.
I would like an Invaders/justice league new frontier crossover
I love you guys! I love the way the stories are told
After seeing beast boy turn into a parademon an idea just occurred to me, why don't he turn into a kryptonian or a czarnian ? It would be awesome.
Excuse my english
Or a Thanagarian
I didn't get a notification for this video when it was released for some reason. Love this crossover... we need more Amalgam!!!!
I KNEW IT BEN IS GRANT MORRISON IN DISGUISE.
25:07 Raven and Wolverine
28:32 Starfire and night crawler
I bought this when it came out; Good stuff!
This has now become one of my favorite episodes. I just love when you guys cover crossovers and this one was so good *_*
JEAN!!!!!!!!!
MORPH !!!!!!
Was I the only person who didn't get a notification for this upload? TH-cam has been MAJORLY slacking as of late I swear.
Yeah didn’t get a notification either
19:00 Deathstroke does have a healing factor. Just not as strong
