“Where is Dracula?” *Strange:* “I killed him!” “Killed him?” *Strange:* “Obliterated his entire existence!” “Oh, well. That’s step 1. What about 2 through 10?” *Dracula, coming back from literal non existence:* “You done goofed.” *Strange:* “How in the blood soaked, Heathen filled Hell did you do that?” *Dracula:* F”*% you, that’s how.”
Crazier part is the fact that the Dracula in the Castlevania universe is basically that universe’s Satan. So the Belmonts fighting beings like the Grim Reaper has precedence in that regard
I never knew that tidbit about Blade becoming a daywalker after being bitten by Morbius! Also, Ben’s Blade impression was hilarious. If he said ”some mfers are always tryna ice skate up hill” I would have died.
I mean damn, how informative. You learn about Dr. Strange and his entourage, and a slew of vampire related Marvel characters including Blade, Hannibal King, and of course Dracula.
Tiff : To me Sarah and Zelma to me are like very... Sal : The same character but someone else gets more residuals... Boy, you can tell that one came from deep down in Sal's heart 😅
Sal was acting really strange at the end there. What could be coming to these next two back issues? Hmmm? I guess we'll find out next time. Same Pop time. Same Pop Channel
Oh my god, that Dr Strange & Scarlet Witch bit was hilarious. It reminded me of a DND character I made once. He was a dwarf wizard, and he’d always complain, unlike the rest of the party, he actually had to “learn” magic. “Oh it’s easy to just have your god, perform magic for you Paladin! Unlike you i had to learn this shit!” 😆
all three of my local comic shops have shutdown permanently (ty covid) and I have to travel an hour plus just to browse at a shop..... that doesn't have any new tittle because most tittles are halted till tba and i know digital issues are available but not the same as a book in my hands so ty you guys for being a stable source of comic book entertainment in these dark times i truly appreciate you guys, you have kept me going and keeping my sanity (or what left of it) intact, thank you guys from the bottom of my heart please never stop.
Oh sweet! I've had a bit of a fascination with this story since reading a brief synopsis of it in Marvel Update '89 when I was a kid. Didn't actually get all the related issues well into adulthood though. I'm really glad to see this getting covered here.
Really glad to see the Nightstalkers getting some love. I'm kinda surprised their own series was not more successful. On paper, it seems like a perfect mid 90's book.
My brother found the first appearance of Dracula and blade in a comic box at a goodwill for a couple of cents. No reason to point that out.. just a neat story.
Read the masterworks, Runs by Steve Ditko, Roy Thomas, and Roger Stern golden standard Marvel premiere 3-18. Triumph and Torment, The Oath and Fractions Defenders and the original run
Lucas Cross(Blade’s father) actually tricked Him into reversing the Montessi Formula by realizing an ancient vampire prophecy that would resurrect every vampire he ever personally killed.
36:54 Ethan, if I put a bag of Sour Patch Kids in front of you, you're not just going to take *ONE* :b. The idea of vampires is that they are a metaphor for the old & regretful feeding on youth & vitality. Folks with terrible impulse control & dark vices. Vampires are more like addicts with creepy habits than 30 Days of Night creatures (though both are frakkin' awesome.) EDIT: And it was already addressed xD. Thanks Sal.
I can't decide if the bit at the end was because they shot this episode first or because we're getting something between now and Halloween. Given their full month of content, anything more would be an unnecessary, but welcome surprise. I guess we'll see!
“Where is Dracula?”
*Strange:* “I killed him!”
“Killed him?”
*Strange:* “Obliterated his entire existence!”
“Oh, well. That’s step 1. What about 2 through 10?”

*Strange:* “How in the blood soaked, Heathen filled Hell did you do that?”
*Dracula:* F”*% you, that’s how.”
I love the tfs reference
If Dracula can be defeated multiple times by a man with a whip, I think Doc Strange can handle him
Not just any whip, the vampire killer
Crazier part is the fact that the Dracula in the Castlevania universe is basically that universe’s Satan. So the Belmonts fighting beings like the Grim Reaper has precedence in that regard
I never knew that tidbit about Blade becoming a daywalker after being bitten by Morbius! Also, Ben’s Blade impression was hilarious. If he said ”some mfers are always tryna ice skate up hill” I would have died.
The look on Sal’s face when Ethan said “Who is Chthon? I’ve never heard that name before” was priceless
With the Blood Hunt event going on right now, decided to go back and listen to some old Vampire Back Issues
70s marvel was so psychedelic haha
i wonder why 🤔
I miss that
@@cameronf7566 so many drugs
Dr. Strange, in particular. One of the weirder ones
Agamotto understood the power of brand recognition and merchandising
I mean damn, how informative. You learn about Dr. Strange and his entourage, and a slew of vampire related Marvel characters including Blade, Hannibal King, and of course Dracula.
That little history lesson on the paranormal aspect of the marvel universe was interesting.
This probably has to be my favorite episode of all of Back Issues
Tiff : To me Sarah and Zelma to me are like very...
Sal : The same character but someone else gets more residuals...
Boy, you can tell that one came from deep down in Sal's heart 😅

1:04:00
The Stunnelator beams
It stuns them!
It kills them!
The Tarantula stole his boot idea from that beam
THUCK!
If only manga wasnt so strict about their rules Hellsing would’ve been a good halloween pick

Have you tried ordering from Amazon or Ebay? Or is that not available where you live?
@@plain3089physical copies of new releases are halted I can order folders issues but not new stories
@@gregtin87 oh
Lol! At Sal immediately laughing when Tiffany mentions Silver Surfer vs. Dracula because its so ridiculous.
That fight would be over in literal seconds
Sal is extra snarky when not hosting. It's hilarious.
Love this episode. This was great I love story time with the whole gang. Tiff great wardrobe as usual.
I LOVE the Doctor Strange episodes of back issues!! They're the perfect mix of compelling and goofy fun ^
Dr strange modeled after Vincent price
If Doctor Strange had a personal mantra, would he call it “The Motto of Agamotto?”
Omg! This is gonna be great, Sal wore his specs, Strange vs Tepes!
That blade morbius connection blew my mind 😱
Awesome! I love this comic. Some of Roger Stern's best work in Strange and definitely something I want to see either animated or in the MCU.
28:20 "looks like a great acid trip" sounds like a man with experience
More like Bat issues, haha
Wait a sec...
Fuck yes! Thank you all for making my day!
Oh sweet! I've had a bit of a fascination with this story since reading a brief synopsis of it in Marvel Update '89 when I was a kid. Didn't actually get all the related issues well into adulthood though. I'm really glad to see this getting covered here.
"I have seen you naked a thousand times" Fun fact, Strange helped her with her birth of the Vision twins
A Doctor Strange back issues? Well ain’t this the early birthday present for my girlfriend
I would totally try the "bag of chips of Agamatto"
RE: Dracula's mustache. His depiction in _Tomb of Dracula_ (and subsequent Marvel titles) was based on Vincent Price (but with black hair)
Really glad to see the Nightstalkers getting some love. I'm kinda surprised their own series was not more successful. On paper, it seems like a perfect mid 90's book.
As HUGE DR STRANGE guy I can attest the Dracula arcs are Amazing
I kept thinking Sal had cat eye contacts in but it was just the stage lights in his glasses.
I’m loving these spooky back issues guys! Love Tiffany and her outfits too 😊
Dracula has to be the most recognizable villain in fiction.
Certainly top 10
He certainly has become that over time. The look that is most associated with Dracula is not what was described in Bram Stoker's original work.
My brother found the first appearance of Dracula and blade in a comic box at a goodwill for a couple of cents. No reason to point that out.. just a neat story.
Got out of work early, just opened my first beer and I´m ready for some Comic Pop
Finally ,another Doctor Strange book!!!
For a story about vampires this was really entertaining and fun!
I will watch these Halloween specials 1,000 times just for the sick remix to the intro.
Throw away system of a down line got me lmao
back when doc was still supreme, good'ole days
Dr. Strange is a character I’ve always been interested in. This helped as a good starting point any other great stories?
Idk if it’s a good starting point, but Spider-Man/Dr. Strange A Way to a Dusty Death is a pretty good read.
Try The Oath!
Dr. Strange/Dr. Doom is a must read.
Jason Aaron's and Donny Cates' runs are good, they are not that long either.
Read the masterworks, Runs by Steve Ditko, Roy Thomas, and Roger Stern golden standard Marvel premiere 3-18. Triumph and Torment, The Oath and Fractions Defenders and the original run
I love that intro!
Those sweet glasses is Sal's costume. XD
A bespectacled man living in the Dakota building. I swore it was gonna be John Lennon
Is Dracula weak to Silver? Would explain why they thought of Silver Surfer vs Dracula
This was a childhood favourite
Sitting here waiting for the Vampire Verses, when they retcon that Strange not only has a sister but a brother as well who he turned into a vampire
Haha I think we hit our Baron Blood quota with GBU 🤣
It's funny I almost bought this book yesterday. Now I bought it today. Great work as always Comic Pop!
"I'll do you one better, 'What's Wong?'"
To vampires, blood is like prengals. Once you pop you can stop. Lol
Ben: "Rainbows!"
Me: Proceeds to choke on fudgepop.
I've been really loving the new intro music
I was expecting schlocky fun but this book is legit awesome. I'm getting myself a copy.
70's marvel was tons of fun
50:29 WHAT???
Much obliged folks just what this day needed and then i turnintoBats!!
DRACULA
FIGHT ME!!
Thank you! 'Dracula' is a particular being, not a type of creature! Few things are as maddening as calling vampires 'Draculas.'
5:49- "Dracula DIED."
I, once again, must mention how I ABSOLUTELY this new intro music!
Hell yeah, more Halloween to come!
At least he’s not an energy vampire oh wait
I know this is an older vid but at 7:25 Dr Strange looks like mastermind from X-men Phoenix Dark Phoenix , Jason wyngarde
Lucas Cross(Blade’s father) actually tricked Him into reversing the Montessi Formula by realizing an ancient vampire prophecy that would resurrect every vampire he ever personally killed.
Wouldn't he need the Darkhold to do that?
@@Relugus if memory serves it was a separate unrelated prophecy that also involved time travel and Dr Doom
Just ordered Dr Strange the Oath and Don't Pay the Ferryman to celebrate Halloween with 🧙
noiceee, im already getting certain dr strange v dr doom back issues vibes
Very cool video and love the ending, (howling included).

EDIT: And it was already addressed xD. Thanks Sal.
Oh silly Ben, you can take the Dracula out of Dracula, but you can't take the Dracula outta Dracula
Nice little nod to bed knobs and broomsticks
So are the many, many deaths of Wong more of a Jean Grey situation, or a Snowball II one?
It's not weird, its strange
Wolfman writing Dracula
Love the channel. I was wondering if you guys will do the rest of the Saga series from Image??
53:34 man it's been a while
This is way too awesome to have less than 20k views!
Blade vs Dracula comes to mind for me.
I wanna know what the opening song is for these Halloween episodes
Now I wanna see Doctor Strange or Blade in Castlevania
Thought: Mjoinir is the ultimate paper weight.
im gong to miss your 100% spooky content when its gone
It's time for Absolute Carnage and War of the Realms.
Dracula so flamboyant he runs went things are going south like a Saturday morning cartoon villain
It's been some time since all 4 of you were on the couch together
i think halloween might be favorite time of year strictly cause of comic pop. Ethan! cue the physics
I like the Thor using mjolnir's hammer as a stake. With his Mr Mxyzptlk idea for Underworld Unleashed, Ben is on fire lately
You can play as Blade in this costume in Marvel Ultimate Alliance the PS2 game
i love tiff episodes
Can somebody give the name or just link to the song they use for the intro cause it’s awesome
I can't decide if the bit at the end was because they shot this episode first or because we're getting something between now and Halloween. Given their full month of content, anything more would be an unnecessary, but welcome surprise. I guess we'll see!
This was shot one week ago.
@@comicpop
*strokes chin*
Hmm... Interesting.
I wonder if you can pick up a ombius of tomb of Dracula?
Lol this was an awesome episode
No ticket 🤣
Tiffany is a queen
Can you do back issues that lead up to King in Black like Venom Rex, Absolute Carnage, Thor God Butcher, and Thor Godbomb?
