ComicPop: We have a whole trade on Force Works. We're never gonna do Force Works. Population: Wait, what? But why? ComicPop: Because it sucks Population: Oh! If it sucks you should totally do it. ComicPop: What did we just say. It's like you're not listening to us. Do you really want us to cover Force Works? Population: Well, since you brought it up and have the entire trade paperback, yeah, you guys should totally do Force Works. Sal: Aaaargh!
Force Works isn't even THAT bad until all of the Crossing bullshit starts. There's just not a whole lot to talk about and it also gets interrupted by the "Hands of the Mandarin" crossover event which might be fun for them to look at. Also they should do "The Crossing" because it's one of the worst things Marvel ever did. Someone please buy them that omnibus if they don't have it.
We only like Exodus so we can hate him. He's an annoying douche. Besides, his archenemy is actually the Black Knight. Dane Whitman. A guy with a magic sword. An American who speaks with a fake British accent.
I had that sugarman toy as a kid, but didn't have any context for whom or what it was. I literally yelped when you started talking about him and I was finally able to put 2 and 2 together. Loudly enough to worry my wife in another room across the house to come see if I was okay. It's like you just solved a mystery I forgot about 20 years ago.
Wouldn't it have made more sense for Wolverine's healing factor to eventually kick back in after being down for so long and be crazy OP since it didn't have to fight off admantium poisoning? I always thought that, but you know, comics.
20:33 My favorite reaction of the whole episode. Tiffany: Who's on The Avengers? Sal: Captain America! Tiffany and Ethan: All right! Sal: USAgent * record scratch * Ethan: Who the fuck is that?
As an X-Men fan I both hate and love X-Men episodes, because Sal's explanations are always at the same time more complicated then they need to be and leave out important details
Saying that Quicksilver was the problem in that marriage is mind boggling. Name a single time Crystal is not “The Real Housewives production team thinks I’m not doing enough. So let me band the neighbors in Wanda’s book!”.
WHOA! HOLD ON! You're telling me two groups of super heroes can come together... and NOT FIGHT?! I'm sorry, I don't buy it. Down-voting, unsubscribing and mailing a box of bees.
feels so weird watching this lol. i havent watched in over a year. i use to be the hugest fan. i started watching at around episode 10ish. i'm gonna have to start watching again, love you guys
Wow, I just got this trade! Thank you for the video guys! See my ridiculously long name? It's the proof that Comic Pop has Brazillian fans! Lots of love from Manaus, Amazon.
Sal is so good at explaining utter nonsense. You guys make me watch hour long videos about comics I know I will never want to read, because I know the conversation will be so much freaking fun.
It's 2021. It's crazy to think how well known US agent is now compared to when this came out. He was a nobody. Now millions of people have seen and heard of him.
I know I said "more shitty 90s Marvel" but I have to say that you did a yeoman's work here. This is certainly a complicated story. I did have a mini panic attack when I thought you were serious about Exodus being awesome. He may be the worst X-character ever.
Funny thing about this story is I have 2 issues (issue 1 and 4) of this event. I bought them in a comic bundle at a local big lots back in the early 2000s. They were technically the first comics I ever owned. I thought Exodus design look cool when I was younger. Even though I need to look him up and who is the Cortez guy? I'll watch the video and find out.
Hey, if you like the blood in “bloodties” then you totally need to do an episode on American Vampire. I will eat Tiffany’s hat if you do. Though it will suck cause that’s an awesome hat.
Could we get a Hawkeye Back Issues? Every Back Issues with him has been "Hawkeye suuuuucks" or "Hawkeye explodes". People like the Matt Fraction run I hear ;)
Magneto: I'm PROMISE I'm absolutely not going to destroy the earth I'm just going to move myself and all these other mutants to this asteroid so that we can live off of the earth on our own....
i loved reading that story as a kid plus the art of jrjr and epting. epting drawing the avengers was the best era for me until bmb stepped on the scene.
Missed elseworlds exchange but then this popped up (dad puns) and after failing the job interview for my dream job in spectacular fashion this is just what I need

No no. Linkara handles really bad comics.
Sal should be careful. He's pissing off the Exodus fans. All none of them.
We only like Exodus so we can hate him. He's an annoying douche. Besides, his archenemy is actually the Black Knight. Dane Whitman. A guy with a magic sword. An American who speaks with a fake British accent.
@@paulocosta4744 hit em with the reverse Henry Cavil, David Kaluuya and Christian Bale
I just saw the wedding ring on Sal's finger and smiled. So happy for you two!!!!
He's become a Silver Lantern
Now my Sal and Ethan OTP is finally cannon!
Did he and Tiffany tie the knot?
@@willcommon6164 Yeah they're married.
A cute wife who shares his love of comics? Talk about living the dream!
You know it's an X-Men story when it takes 18 minutes just to provide context for the actual story...
It took 18 minutes because they kept interrupting him with questions
@@Jellofreeze Because of their lack of context.
1:04:39 "So then Professor X and Captain America have a tender moment"
I eagerly await the fan art for THAT one😁
I’m sorry, but that Sugar Man action figure is pure fucking nightmare fuel
timshady like the real Sugarman
“Who are these…? Never mind, I don’t care” is up there with my favorite Tiffany moments. I laughed out loud.
I had that sugarman toy as a kid, but didn't have any context for whom or what it was.
I literally yelped when you started talking about him and I was finally able to put 2 and 2 together. Loudly enough to worry my wife in another room across the house to come see if I was okay.
It's like you just solved a mystery I forgot about 20 years ago.
That first minute and a half setup was incredible
Sugar Man the perfect mascot for cereal with tasty D.N.A. marshmallows. When you add milk they mutate.
Wouldn't it have made more sense for Wolverine's healing factor to eventually kick back in after being down for so long and be crazy OP since it didn't have to fight off admantium poisoning? I always thought that, but you know, comics.
The X-Men is a soap opera. You either know what's going on or you don't.
Saw Sal's ring and spent the next 20 min waiting for Tiffany to unfold her hands
20:33 My favorite reaction of the whole episode.
Tiffany: Who's on The Avengers?
Sal: Captain America!
Tiffany and Ethan: All right!
Sal: USAgent
* record scratch *
Ethan: Who the fuck is that?
27:17 Oh, Gambit, you straight-up perv.
Tiffany bringing back awesome hats onto Back Issues. Can't wait for episode 200, damn tight ship you run Sal.
as soon as sal mentioned forceworks i just released a long, heavy ssssssiiiiiiiggggghhhhh...
As an X-Men fan I both hate and love X-Men episodes, because Sal's explanations are always at the same time more complicated then they need to be and leave out important details
Saying that Quicksilver was the problem in that marriage is mind boggling. Name a single time Crystal is not “The Real Housewives production team thinks I’m not doing enough. So let me band the neighbors in Wanda’s book!”.
I love all configurations of the couch but Tiffany/Sal/Ethan works really well
OMG... When Sal describes the Avengers of this book, it's just the just the post Disney+ MCU
WHOA! HOLD ON! You're telling me two groups of super heroes can come together... and NOT FIGHT?! I'm sorry, I don't buy it. Down-voting, unsubscribing and mailing a box of bees.
SomeFriendlessBastard Sal opens the box:OH NO! NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEES!AHHH!!!!
Bees. My god.
IS IT BEES?
Assuming SHIELD doesn't count as a group of superheroes.
What's this? A TH-cam channel woefully underpopulated by bees? A large influx of bees ought to put a stop to that!
Wait Sal are you saying that there was a West Coast/East Coast Avengers style Rap War in the mid 90s???!?!?!?!?!?!? 3:00
West Coast had Rhodie, so they obviously destroyed.
Man, I forgot about "feral" Wolverine. Thanks for bringing that back up, Sal...
love the sweet jazz at the end
Bloodties! The ties that blood! The blood that ties! The blood of Avengers and X-Men! Coming at you now on Back Issues!
feels so weird watching this lol. i havent watched in over a year. i use to be the hugest fan. i started watching at around episode 10ish. i'm gonna have to start watching again, love you guys
Alien Alive welcome back!! 😀💕
56:55 "I understood that reference!"
Wow, I just got this trade!
Thank you for the video guys!
See my ridiculously long name? It's the proof that Comic Pop has Brazillian fans!
Lots of love from Manaus, Amazon.
Lol Ethan’s reaction to US Agent
That ending music is so comfy. I like it!
Yay!!!! You guys improve my entire week!
That's what I say!
May I just say I love that X-men hat Tiff and damage control shirt also love your vids
Reporting in from 2020 to request FORCE WORKS for back issues
Goddamit you guys make me happy. Thank you
If I send you my sweet issue #1 of Force Works with the rad fold out cover, then would you do Force Works? Or at least burn it live?
We have it!
Sal mentioning West Coast Avengers, made me think of Jawin's "West Coast Avengers" song.
Man, now i want to see all those x-men stories on backissues!
One of the most glorious X-messes of the 90's.
Hey Sal, your hair looks very nice here
Give me force works or give me dead
I agree I don’t want a Versus movie either. They just did the Civil War and DC did the Batman vs Superman.
Just got back from the Elseworlds Exchange lol!
Noah 23 same!
Likewise, haha.
Noah 23 same
I totally want you to cover Force Works. I read I think one issue of that, so this would explain so much.....
I tried my hardest to keep track of the story, but just couldn't do it, like most X-Men stories from the 90's.
I'd love to see the USAgent vs. the KGBeast.
Force Works!!! My favourite stupid name hahaha
If you do Force Works, I'll quit my job and dedicate my weekends to feeding the homeless.
Idunnoyouguessit but if you quit you‘re job, how would you pay for their food?
does that offer still stand?
love the damage control shirt
Rogue could get that condom in the Naked Gun movie to resolve that problem.
Love this episode
Thank you.
“They killed Saddam Hussein and then they left” gold star from me.
Exodus actually absorbs just about every type of energy. Physical attacks are the best bet to defeat him if you can get close enough
But if he can absorb every type of energy can't he absorb kinetic energy from physical attacks?
Mr.E I said just about every type of energy. You can punch him and it will hurt him it's just being able to get close enough to actually hit him.
Sal, you really know how to sell a comic arc. Duly noted! 👍
Hey guys, I'm really excited about the prospect of seeing you guys take on my favorite team "Force Works".
Ah the 90's.......when X-Men continuity became as convoluted as LSH continuity.
Yay! Tifany's here!
the universally panned run on X-Men by writer Chuck Austen.
Yo Tiffany and Ethan are so similar in their facial expressions and tone and body gestures it's almost UNCANNY
(see what I did there? no? i'll leave)
You might have been thinking of Cable's floating island utopia for mutants
Sal is so good at explaining utter nonsense. You guys make me watch hour long videos about comics I know I will never want to read, because I know the conversation will be so much freaking fun.
It's 2021. It's crazy to think how well known US agent is now compared to when this came out. He was a nobody. Now millions of people have seen and heard of him.
"Eeeeeh yeah but Magneto kicked Exodus ass in a (crappy) Uncanny X-Men story two years ago"
Loved the episode you guys!
this was really an xmen story guest starring the avengers.......
1:21 instant spit take
Force Works for episode 202!
Hey I'm in Kenosha watching something about Genosha
Dude. You gotta do Force Works now.
I was watching the X-Men and Fantastic Four back issues episode just now lol
I know I said "more shitty 90s Marvel" but I have to say that you did a yeoman's work here. This is certainly a complicated story. I did have a mini panic attack when I thought you were serious about Exodus being awesome. He may be the worst X-character ever.
I want that hat so much and I don't even wear hats
Wow superhero team-up
I hope they fight 😂
Maybe this has been said, but Death of Xavier and Age of Apocalypse happened between this and Onslaught
Funny thing about this story is I have 2 issues (issue 1 and 4) of this event. I bought them in a comic bundle at a local big lots back in the early 2000s. They were technically the first comics I ever owned. I thought Exodus design look cool when I was younger. Even though I need to look him up and who is the Cortez guy?

@@MrEtherOck ok thanks
06:10 FOR THE HORDE
kareem atta stay away from the voodoo!
Damn Tiffany looks great with the X-Men cap and the big boots
Episode 200-Future's End
Hey, if you like the blood in “bloodties” then you totally need to do an episode on American Vampire. I will eat Tiffany’s hat if you do. Though it will suck cause that’s an awesome hat.
Will you do geoff Johns teen titans
Sugarman looks like a god damn digimon.
Could we get a Hawkeye Back Issues?
Every Back Issues with him has been "Hawkeye suuuuucks" or "Hawkeye explodes".
People like the Matt Fraction run I hear ;)
House of M is how I would bring mutants into the MCU where Scarlet Witch goes crazy and looses control of her powers.
love tiffanys outfit
Isn't Exodus the annoying bastard that appears at random in the last stage of X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse?
Canada was the first place that Wolverine went after losing his Adamantium.
Magneto: I'm PROMISE I'm absolutely not going to destroy the earth I'm just going to move myself and all these other mutants to this asteroid so that we can live off of the earth on our own....
I have been laughing non-stop for 3 months at "Force Works"... Of all the combination words in the English language...
Surprised it wasn't ForceWorx, or something similar.
Bishop (slaps Rogue's ass)
Rogue (getting ready to beat Bishop senseless)
Bishop: For the FUTURE!!!
As always this was a great show, can you do an episode on the new Warren Ellis wild storm ?
Almost to episode 200 that’s going to be fun
You can always tell when Sal really doesn't dig a story. His explanations start spiralling to the point of confusing the rest of the couch.
i loved reading that story as a kid plus the art of jrjr and epting. epting drawing the avengers was the best era for me until bmb stepped on the scene.
For tha future!
Force Works for episode 210, plz! I wanna see your friends laugh like crazy!
Damn Tiff. Them boots.
was just watching elseworld exchange,now it's time to watch back issues
Nice.
Missed elseworlds exchange but then this popped up (dad puns) and after failing the job interview for my dream job in spectacular fashion this is just what I need
