This did take off in pop culture, they just didn't make a movie because while Fox owned both Aliens and Predator, Terminator and Robocop are owned by different entities. But even recently on Mortal Kombat 11 people went nuts that they could finally do the Robocop vs Terminator fight. Also, this is masterful artwork by Simonson.
Great Blast from the past! I was in Walter's first class at The School of Visual Arts. He was working on this book at that time and our first assignment was to draw a 3 page ED-209 sequence from the second issue. Good memories...
@@robzilla730 Yup. He taught at SVA for several years; in fact, when I interviewed him back in the early 00's, some of the people getting him to sign books were in fact former students of his!
I had that Robocop toy with the caps in the back as well! Did not have this comic though, despite being a massive fan of Miller and Simonson. Looks great, thanks for the vid!
Guy at my comic shop turned me onto you guys a few months ago...been watching ever since. Great to see a couple of fellow Pittsburgher’s doing well in my favorite love...”Read more comics!” 👍
I feel obligated to remind that this miniseries was directly ported into a Super NES side shooter. All cutscenes of the story were scans taken directly from this set of books. I still have the cartridge.
Love your show, guys. It feels like you are covering my own collection! Nice to have my taste validated. Keep it up. Loving the love you give to the art form.
With all the technical detail, those reflections on metal and other textures, this series might be my favorite Walter Simonson artwork. (And I'm a big fan of his). Several very cinematic scenes with great visual storytelling, and action scenes where the movement lines and layouts beautifully direct the readers eye through the page.
This was the series that made me a Simonson fan for life. I had not really noticed Walt's work before RvT, but that changed quickly after getting this series. And luckily I got Walt to sign my copy of issue #1 when I interviewed him back in the early 00s.
Noticed Adam Hughes listed in the special thanks credits on the interior covers. I’m curious if he did some behind the scenes work/inking or something on the series.
Art Adams as well. For me the art quality went way up in the last two issues, not just because of Oliff's coloring. It would definitely be interesting to know if he had help on the inks.

What I liked about Robocop vs Terminator (as apposed to Superman vs Terminator) is that the entire story arc, either one could have won in the end. I would love to see this as a movie but, since Aliens vs Predators the movies did nothing for me despite my being a major fan of the first movie in each of their franchises and only like the 1st two Terminators movies, I'm doubtful that I would the audience they would be tailoring it for (sigh).
This is awesome fellas. Thank you for this. I've been fans of both Frank Miller and Walter Simonson for a while and I never knew they did this. I love RoboCop and Terminator. I have no idea how I never knew about this. I just tried looking online for paperbacks and these things are hundreds of dollars. Glad I could see the story here. Much appreciated
aliens vs predator I remember from the Dark horse 90s Aliens comics (UK); think the first series one was in colour but in later volumes B/W. There's a badass human who becomes an honorary predator at one point. Think sexy cosplay predator and you get the idea.
The Pistons played at the Palace of Auburn hills up until recently, so it makes sense that people would go there to see a game. Also, the Spartans are Michigan State, so it makes sense that people would go see them as well
I went all through your video list and could not find it. Stop what you’re doing right now and do the Batman versus predator book series from Darkhorse please ASAP thanks in advance.

whoa that's so cool!
Wait. He was teaching the class?
@@robzilla730 Yup. He taught at SVA for several years; in fact, when I interviewed him back in the early 00's, some of the people getting him to sign books were in fact former students of his!
@@MarcMcKenzie-qb6or- former student of his as well over here, and totally got these books signed by him too!

found one of those Robocop toys in my garden last year.

RIP Ed. This was the video where you guys got me hooked.

"Moe Howard Haircut Girl" That's good shit.
Curly: It was an honest mistake, Moe!
Moe Girl: Why you!!!
Kicks Curly in the pills and they lodge into his nostrils.
After this video I'm a fan of your channel. Thanks for this! 👍

I loved this crossover! Easily among the very best movie franchise crossovers right up there with any Alien/Predator series.
Love these longer episodes so so much
Did Dark Horse ever do Jurassic Park comics? That last page twist could have gone another direction completely!
I read this for the first time a few years ago. I've been a fan of these two characters nearly my entire life and I love this comic. It is wonderful.

Also kept imaging how this book would have looked had it gotten the Lynn Varley TDKR style color treatment.
I love when you guys review the books that were staples of my childhood like these. I loved the shit out of these comics.

Godzilla vs Babie animated by my animation teacher from back in the day Marv Newland
I saw that at the drive in as a kid. Can't remember the movie it played before.
I want the gallery edition. The black and white changes the tone of the story.

Where was I when walking dead 1 came out? I glossed over it and continued to grab my copy of 30 Days Of Night...lol
you should look at Juan Jose Ryps art on the Avatar Robocop series.
Thank you for these videos 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
maybe Bill Laimbeer's facemask was a prototype for robocop's helmet
Heroine-Chic, 😂😂😂

I hope one day Frank Miller gives you a interview.
great artwork,,,this is what dc comics needs
Not only did that Robocop figure burn you but he also always smelled like gun powder. Perfect for children! Ha!
Re Spartans: From the mid of RvT#1, Spartans are the name for Michigan State University athletics so not crazy for the cops to be talking about them.
I have the artist edition book of this story. Worth a review of that as well!
does anyone else get Spawn vs. Overkill vibes from Spawn 6-7? The colours, sound effect lettering, robotics etc..
On the "Spartans" comment: In the movie, Clarence Boniker says that he never misses a Tiger's game.
Alien Vs Predator comic did spawn the franchise... they get credit in the movies.
Would you guys ever want to interview Steve oliff?
That would be amazing!
They need to re make dr giggles
Ed, I'll put on your inking video tonight or tomorrow.
Greatest vs since hulk vs thing
Do aliens and or predator/avp
Boom
I went all through your video list and could not find it. Stop what you’re doing right now and do the Batman versus predator book series from Darkhorse please ASAP thanks in advance.
"The Smell of Victory" Was Miller riffing on Milius?
Would make perfect sense.
