So if you put Mjolnir in an elevator, and the elevator lifts it, does that mean Thor was reincarnated as an elevator? Would that make him an Eleva-Thor? _I have so many lift-related questions!_
my gooood i remember the last episode back in sals kitchen can't believe back issues is 3 years old now so proud of you guys and i couldn't be more glad i stumbled onto comicpop one day because you have become a very very veeeery crucial part of my routine😂💜
Thor was forced to become Jake Olsen by various cosmic entities because he was responsible for his death in a fight with the Destroyer. And Thor died as well. So in exchange for being resurrected to save the Avengers he had to adopt Jake Olsen's life. So for Thor it makes sense why he is Jake Olsen. I'm not sure why these cosmic beings thought Jake Olsen was so important. Also Jake Olsen was a paramedic selling the drugs he has access to on the side which is why it wasn't obvious to everyone that he was a drug dealer and why Donald Blakes medical knowledge really comes in handy for him in side plots. I actually quite enjoyed this era, not all of it was good, look the Enrakt plot but I enjoyed a lot of it but it's one of those runs where you really have to read every issue to understand what's going on as there's subplots all over the place which can get pretty confusing!
Lol - Sal starts talking about Ethan and Ben going with him on a mystical fighting adventure. An add break comes on and I think to myself: "Ben will go but Ethan is staying on the couch." Sure enough.
so Enrakt talks dirty to thors hammer and makes it turn against thor. I really hope this is the reason why thor is now unworthy. it is not that thor is unworthy of the hammer but because Enrakt made his hammer turn against thor. the hammer is unworthy of thor.
You should do more Thor Back Issues. I feel you favor to much Batman and Spider-man.I get they get more views but there still is some cool Thor books. Especially the Marvel Now series and the new Thor I actually love the female version.
Sal what happened to the trades of trades you got in the mail? I've have been so lost the last two episodes. Just waiting for a well written story soon.
I love you Ben! 💖 I love your energy, optimism, and your jokes. Your so sweet, I feel like not enough people appreciate you. Well, I do my friend. Keep reading comics. 😉
It'd be awesome if you did some of Miller's Daredevil, I don't know, maybe The Elektra Saga, Born Again or Child's Play (those are the mainstream ones, I know, but still cool sh*t!). I'm really into DD and Punisher comics, that's why. Keep on the amazing content!
A lot of references to Beyblades here in the comments, but--hear me out--what if he's referencing SPINJAS? The art design of those toys is similar enough to this comic that I would believe Ben might be referencing that 90s toy.
Well Beyblades and especially Beigoma, the spinning top battling sport it derives from is not 'nonsense for children', they are an ancient sport going back hundreds if not thousands of years through Japan all the way back to China. People actually carve or cast tops with the names of emperors, samurai, family crests, mythical beings and other entities of cultural significance to represent their faction as they battle with those tops in a serious sport.
Yep, people used to make them out of all sorts of materials including sea shells filled with sand or wax. They then battle in 'stadiums' made of carved polished rocks, tree trunks, cooking woks etc. Elders who played them as kids, grow up and establish dojos/ gyms in their neighbourhood and they battle with other regions like actual Beyblade or Pokemon. It's just like any other sport, basketball, football, etc.
I'd like to thank the Ungrateful Duck publicly for this comment. I always loved Thor and stopped reading after Simonsons epic run. I didn't pick up a THOR comic until Aaron started writing (because I was a Aaron fan after the first six issues of SCALPED). I will check out this Volume two of which you speak.
Odinson fucking sucks dude, so while there are some similarities between the Thor/Donald Blake transformation and the Billy Batson/Shazam transformation, plus the lightning stuff and the connection to the gods... Shazam is WAY cooler. Great video btw, back issues is the best.
Sure but as mentioned Thor gave that shit up and went and lived in Asgard whereas didn't Shazam have like 5 family members and a dog that all had the shazam powers? Fuck that wacky shit!
Luke Nicholls what? Shazam never had a dog, he had a tiger, which is fucking awesome, and the Shazam family is fucking awesome too, they've been in the comics far longer than odinson, that weird wacky aspect of Shazam is what makes him cool, it gives him a whole nother feel, it's original, he's got a lot of character, he's just fucking cool, odinson is boring af, no dimension to his character at all.
Buy Thor vs Thanos! amzn.to/2mhRbSA
I love going back and rewatching all the Back Issues from years ago. I've forgotten these completely so its all feels new.
Word
"If you can pick this up, your name is Thor" is one of my favorite Back Issues quotes now.
Dylan Cisneros my favorite is "ultron 8 is a better father than you'll ever be"
Ben's talking about
BEYBLADE!! BEYBLADE!!!
LET IT RIP!!!!!!
Slade Wilson Yu-Gi-Oh with spinning tops
Fuck Pokemon, Beyblade is where it's at.
That's cool and all, but this nigga used a Dranzer!
It's Over 9000 Productions I wish, I had Spinjas. And damn, Beyblades look so much cooler *jealous*
all these beyblades comments and i'm just sitting here remembering bringing my Bionicle legos to school
Grievousish ditto
The OG Beyblade/Bakugan
Bionicle! Holy Crap! Yes!
did not expect a beyblade reference to come out of this back issues
Jim Starlin later retconned this story in Infinity Abyss with the explanation that the Thanos in Thor vs Thanos was a clone.
+CapMar-Vell92 Returns Yeah, we say that at the end.
I've had a crap day taking the SAT and this is a great way to end my day!
MarineHulk Shit I'm in the same boat kinda. Trying to attend SAT prep but these keep gettin' in my way.
This makes me glad I am not in high school anymore. But then I remember I have Advanced Algebra in college. :(
So if you put Mjolnir in an elevator, and the elevator lifts it, does that mean Thor was reincarnated as an elevator? Would that make him an Eleva-Thor? _I have so many lift-related questions!_
Just Some Guy with a Mustache that pun was so bad i think it started Ragnarok
So, it turns out it was me! I was the asshole who killed the gods!
Just Some Guy with a Mustache So you're loki all along! Damn you Tom Hiddleston!
Just Some Guy with a Mustache look on the bright side, marvel won't kill you if you're loki
Just Some Guy with a Mustache hey hey hey
I love when Back Issues do huge events, but sometimes its great to just sit back and watch them talk through a really obscure story :)
I think the reason Earth doesn't deal with Titans like... ever. Is because Thanos is the last of them. They got wiped out
Starfox survived, but yea
His Brother and his dad and the computer ISAAC are still around.
CapMar-Vell92 Returns His dad died recently
CapMar-Vell92 Returns if you returned, why don't you appear like ever?
ben : I don't give a fuck
I'm sorry I givith not a fuck
😂😂😂😂
Don't forget, they're having a rematch in Unworthy Thor #5!!!
my gooood i remember the last episode back in sals kitchen can't believe back issues is 3 years old now so proud of you guys and i couldn't be more glad i stumbled onto comicpop one day because you have become a very very veeeery crucial part of my routine😂💜
155 episodes...holy shit thats fucking amazing!
Man, just rewatching some old back issues. As much as I like the new set you guys have. I feel like this is by far my favorite look for back issues.
Thor was forced to become Jake Olsen by various cosmic entities because he was responsible for his death in a fight with the Destroyer. And Thor died as well. So in exchange for being resurrected to save the Avengers he had to adopt Jake Olsen's life. So for Thor it makes sense why he is Jake Olsen.

"time to put on The Fox and the Hound."
Gawd dammit Ben! (T﹏T)
Spinning toy is called beyblades
Sal: We're gonna do a Thor story on Back Issues!
Me: Finally! Jason Aaron Thor!
*this comes out*
*unzips pants* this'll do
THANKS FOR THIS GREAT BIRTHDAY PRESENT!!!!
55:15 I burst out laughing when Ethan says this. Best line of the whole show.
1 more week, and it'll be 3 whole years!
Just Some Guy with a Mustache yooooooo
28:30 same, all that backstory made me forget what the book was about.
I've finally gotten through this one! Fell asleep watching it like five times!
Lol - Sal starts talking about Ethan and Ben going with him on a mystical fighting adventure. An add break comes on and I think to myself: "Ben will go but Ethan is staying on the couch." Sure enough.
Saw whatever you want about Dan Jurgans, he knows how to build up to an epic fight.
Jose Ladronn if I remember has a great Kirby style
at 29:57 there should be a M. Bison "OF COURSE!" meme.
so Enrakt talks dirty to thors hammer and makes it turn against thor. I really hope this is the reason why thor is now unworthy. it is not that thor is unworthy of the hammer but because Enrakt made his hammer turn against thor. the hammer is unworthy of thor.
So Nick Fury reminded Mjolnir of Enrakt, and it don got the vapors.
I never knew that Thor could fly until recently. I thought he just threw the hammer and just held on
according to Unworthy Thor, he cant fly without the hammer
Which is stupid. They neutered him basically
i cant wait for the 50k celebration
love it guys keep it up.you guys have such a fun time together it feels like I am on the couch too!!
#POPulation
So they became the Olsen Twins....and Scarlet Witch was there...The MCU was INEVITABLE!
You should do more Thor Back Issues. I feel you favor to much Batman and Spider-man.I get they get more views but there still is some cool Thor books. Especially the Marvel Now series and the new Thor I actually love the female version.
The most recent journey into mystery ( the other thor title) was pretty good, in case anyone was interested
Sal what happened to the trades of trades you got in the mail? I've have been so lost the last two episodes. Just waiting for a well written story soon.
Hey Sal, any chance of seeing Avengers Forever! on back issues? Its a crazy great story that is perfect for your story telling skills.
wow, if I bought this I would be so upset haha glad I have you guys to cover these stories.
¡wow! a thor book what a nice surprise
This was my first back issues!
Where's Ben?!
Was it Beyblades that you're thinking of Benjamin 🤔
Do you guys have any Nightwing books?
Can you do the Batman , captain America crossover
I love you Ben! 💖 I love your energy, optimism, and your jokes. Your so sweet, I feel like not enough people appreciate you. Well, I do my friend. Keep reading comics. 😉
Think I rented this from a library once.
Do Infinity next!
You guys thinking about doing God butcher and god bomb?
I hope so, that was a great read.
The toy your thinking of was called a Dragonfly and it had a cartoon
It'd be awesome if you did some of Miller's Daredevil, I don't know, maybe The Elektra Saga, Born Again or Child's Play (those are the mainstream ones, I know, but still cool sh*t!). I'm really into DD and Punisher comics, that's why. Keep on the amazing content!
Oh! Bendis run! Awesome run! INCREDIBLE run!
This story doesn't sound interesting at all to me except for the hammer in the mouth part. That actually sounds really cool.
Ethan loves rocking the Marty McFly haircut
you guys should do messiah complex!
Yay, it's Back Issues Day!
He went so fast
Do you ever plan on reviewing Marvel's Invaders?
So does Donald Blake have parents,if so that means that Thor has an entire family on earth
and im just waiting for Bens spider-man fresh prince rap...
like the new end music
A lot of references to Beyblades here in the comments, but--hear me out--what if he's referencing SPINJAS? The art design of those toys is similar enough to this comic that I would believe Ben might be referencing that 90s toy.
For Julie!!!!! LOL
BAHBLADE BAHBLADE LET IT WHIIIIIIIIP
"So...much....90's."
I forgot it was Thor vs thanos too
If you guys ever stop uploading, it'll be a very sad day indeed.
Well Beyblades and especially Beigoma, the spinning top battling sport it derives from is not 'nonsense for children', they are an ancient sport going back hundreds if not thousands of years through Japan all the way back to China.
People actually carve or cast tops with the names of emperors, samurai, family crests, mythical beings and other entities of cultural significance to represent their faction as they battle with those tops in a serious sport.
For real? thats badass

WTF??? WHEN AND WHY DID THIS HAPPEN??
I'd like to thank the Ungrateful Duck publicly for this comment. I always loved Thor and stopped reading after Simonsons epic run. I didn't pick up a THOR comic until Aaron started writing (because I was a Aaron fan after the first six issues of SCALPED). I will check out this Volume two of which you speak.
Ungreatful Duck I like Jason Aarons run but okay.
Good Lord, I hate John Romita, Jr.’ s artwork.
Notification squad!
FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Odinson fucking sucks dude, so while there are some similarities between the Thor/Donald Blake transformation and the Billy Batson/Shazam transformation, plus the lightning stuff and the connection to the gods... Shazam is WAY cooler. Great video btw, back issues is the best.
Sure but as mentioned Thor gave that shit up and went and lived in Asgard whereas didn't Shazam have like 5 family members and a dog that all had the shazam powers? Fuck that wacky shit!
Luke Nicholls what? Shazam never had a dog, he had a tiger, which is fucking awesome, and the Shazam family is fucking awesome too, they've been in the comics far longer than odinson, that weird wacky aspect of Shazam is what makes him cool, it gives him a whole nother feel, it's original, he's got a lot of character, he's just fucking cool, odinson is boring af, no dimension to his character at all.
Shazam is corny af Thor is way cooler and would beat the snot out of him
