17:04 In retrospect, we've never really seen the xenomorphs eat. We've seen them use the secondary mouth to puncture. But I can't think of a single time I've seen them eat food. Most of the time the xenomorphs function is to incapacitate to grow the hive or to defend the hive itself. 36:39 Bones lose their density in space. Assuming that Lanterns don't travel at the speed of light, those are massive voyages and would start to impact them negatively. One of the biggest problems with sending folks to mars actually.
One the one hand, I went on vacation. On the other hand, I missed Back Issues on release day. Weighing the pros and cons of these situations are what keep me up at night.
Fun Fact: Grant morrison wrote a 3 issue mini series called ALIEN:MATRIX (in no way related to the movie trilogy) with art done by the production artist for alien 3, but the story was never published because the UK division that was supposed to publish it shut down.
Infinity by Hickman?! Dear Lord, how long is that going to be? The full thing is like 600 pages and the new avengers and avengers are pretty much required for the full story
I guarantee you that in the not-so-distant future, after the Fox merger goes through, there will be a movie in which the Guardians of the Galaxy team up with the Rey, Kylo, Poe, and Finn to stop an Alien vs Predator war from destroying a planet.
No Lie I'm more hyped for another back issues than I am for infinity war. I screamed like a little girl at the thought of another back issue. I screamed like the fans who got to see the first trailer of infinity war.
Two in one week? This is a dream come true! Also, you guys should cover Cave Carson has a Cybernetic Eye or Shade the Changing Girl sometime, they're both great in my opinion
A whole day early and 2 back issues in a row and I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE INFINITY AND OMG I LOVE INFINITY AND INFINITY WAR COMING OUT ON THURSDAY woo out of breath but yea best channel on TH-cam
Tiffany I really enjoyed you're back issue episodes on Saga I read the first volume before I looked up the video but just recently my little sister named Tiffany bought me both the Omni buses for Saga in hardback they are so beautiful and I'm so happy to own them thank you for your coverage
2 Back Issues? Yes please!!!! 🙆♂️🙆♂️ Also just watched your voice over on NerdSync good job Sal. Next year Superman/Aliens I've only read the first issue 😂
I actually like that they didn't want to kill the xenomorphs. Any time they have the ring they are completely trivialized, as they should be, and giving them pause on pressing that advantage allows for the story. On top of that, I do see the reasoning of not really wanting to kill them, except for how terrible we know they can get
Wait 2 back issues?! Sal your spoiling us. And on top of that it's Jonthan Hickman's Infinity nice. (Wait Infinity is long I wonder how long the episode will be.)
I had an idea for a one off Green Lantern/Power Rangers themed comic. It centers around a stunt artist who has enjoyed growing up with the Power Rangers and even has the opportunity to work on the modern iteration of the show when suddenly he is presented with a Green Lantern power ring. As he put's the ring on, unawares as to who or what a green lantern is, the ring adorns him with a green lantern suit. The twist is that the suit resembles a Power Rangers theme (helmet and all) due to his impression and mental image of what a superhero looks like. Before he is properly inducted into the Lantern Corp, the opportunity to battle some aliens with seemingly malicious intent arises and our hero must act. As a fun theme, I thought it would be interesting if the protagonist conveys everything as the Power Ranger equivalent i.e. saying it's morphin time whem his suit appears and/or referring to the grunt aliens as Putty Patrolers. Upon finally meeting one of the Guardian's of the Universe, he starts making jokes about the size of their heads and likens them to Zordon.
For some reason i thought the final panel would be Kyle laying in bed and a baby Xenomorph bursting from his chest cus of the face hugger from earlier lmao.
Man, this was a really enjoyable story and episode. Also, super excited and grateful for the double Back Issues. You guys rock super hard. One question, though. And anyone can answer if they know, but I was curious......where does Mogo's ring go? Is it on like a mountain or something?
You guys should do ComicPop Plays as a lets play channel or bring it back on this channel. I know Tif did it a couple times but those were one off's, I'd love to see you guys do an episodic format where you play through the whole game. You guys have good chemistry and I think that'd it'd work well as a Let's Play.
It would have been so cool if Ripley came out in this crossover and after finding the will to go on ( since the ppl most important to her usually die in stasis pods in between movies) she gets her own lantern ring at the end.
Its rare I don't get a reference from the gang but when ben says 'how you gonna fly that without fuel' and it the sad music starts, the only thing I can think of is that episode of Firefly when the engine bunks and Mal is bleeding all over the ship. otherwise, i'm stumped!
It's not really fair to blame Kyle for staying on earth. The Guardians on OA could easily tell him if a planet needs him, but clearly they don't. He's the ONLY Green Lantern. He has no back-up, no recon. If he flew off into space, he could end up dead and able to help nobody.
See’s Back Issues a day early
Me: How can this week get better?
Sal: There’s gonna be 2 Back Issues this week.
masterrance The fact that they're FINALLY doing INFINITY made me yell out loud and scare my coworkers.
*Kyle Rainer yelling at his fridge
"Get away from her you...."
7:21 I laugh at Ben's joke. It was so bad it was good
07:00
Oh Ben, I appreciate you
Overall editting is on point
Sal catching us off guard with an early back issues
Ridge Salins ]RAYNER, Kyle Rayner[ th-cam.com/video/mPM84sjnTRA/w-d-xo.html
You can bet your bottom dollar that Sal's Alien/Predator/Terminator Pitch will be in a book soon....
TNP TurboNerdPrime that messed me up, I could have sworn you were going to say "Bet your boots."
OH SHIT two episodes of back issues and infinity war this week I'm hyped
Gabriel Reyes Jr I want to see the Infinity episode tomorrow so bad but I'm currently reading it with all the tie ins right now 😩
I just got back from watching it. I'm still in shock.

So I've been binging comic pop for the last 2 weeks, and I somehow managed to watch this on 26 Apr 2022
Ben's suggestion isn't that weird, is it? Kyle already has a girlfriend in his fridge. Why not have one in his closet, too?
Just Some Guy with a Mustache rimshot
What about one in the garage?
Just Some Guy with a Mustache interesting lol. I like your thinking!
When you came pullin' in here, did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said, "Dead girlfriend storage?!"
One the one hand, I went on vacation. On the other hand, I missed Back Issues on release day. Weighing the pros and cons of these situations are what keep me up at night.
When the Fox/Disney merge goes through I want guardians vs aliens.
Fun Fact: Grant morrison wrote a 3 issue mini series called ALIEN:MATRIX (in no way related to the movie trilogy) with art done by the production artist for alien 3, but the story was never published because the UK division that was supposed to publish it shut down.
Mulan is a Diseny princess. You can become one from great acts of heroism.
Jaleel Brown I was also indicating I thought she was above that moniker.
TheRealZubes I think my tone can out wrong. Wasn't trying to sound like a dick. Sorry
2 Back Issues in one week. Is it Christmas?
Infinity by Hickman?! Dear Lord, how long is that going to be? The full thing is like 600 pages and the new avengers and avengers are pretty much required for the full story
I litteraly jizzed in my pants when he said two back issues, what a weak, thank you comic pop crew!
Nice to see Green Lantern get some more love
Yep, best channel around. Two back issues in the same week knocks my socks off
Love the increase in production value. Its definitely worth it
I luv how much fun the editor(s) has been having lately
15:04 The kind of joke that really pleases me from this group
I guarantee you that in the not-so-distant future, after the Fox merger goes through, there will be a movie in which the Guardians of the Galaxy team up with the Rey, Kylo, Poe, and Finn to stop an Alien vs Predator war from destroying a planet.
The sound effects/editing were phenomenal haha I died after Ben mentioned “the fuel”
No Lie I'm more hyped for another back issues than I am for infinity war. I screamed like a little girl at the thought of another back issue. I screamed like the fans who got to see the first trailer of infinity war.
I wanna say I really appreciate the extra editing touches you added to this episode sal. Good job and keep up the good work!
Two in one week? This is a dream come true! Also, you guys should cover Cave Carson has a Cybernetic Eye or Shade the Changing Girl sometime, they're both great in my opinion

Cambot!

Boy, Ben’s on a roll today.
7:20 How he's gonna fly without that fuel?
For some reason i thought the final panel would be Kyle laying in bed and a baby Xenomorph bursting from his chest cus of the face hugger from earlier lmao.
That edit after Ben 's fuel comment had me rolling with laughter, hahahaha
Oh shit, some Aliens and fucking Infinity this week!? Thank you. Thank you all.
You three never fail to be entertaining. Tiffany looked like cat woman in her all-black outfit. thx guys & gal.
Zoom
1:23 if you aren't already hyped this week, you best. Get. Hyped.
Fun Disney fact Mulan Is a Disney princess because they added a rule that if you do a very heroic deed you can be a Disney princess
Sal pulling out a few extra tricks during the edit for this episode
"how you gonna fly without that fuel?"
Me: 'Passes out from ensuing laughter.'
For Alien Day, I bought a few Alien and Alien vs. Predators omibus on ComiXology, I’ll be reading them today and the rest of this month
I love that Ben’s shirt has Gl on it
O shit 2 back issues in one week... there is a god and his name is sal
Back issues now, and then here in Australia I’m seeing Infinity War in a couple hours! Awesome day!
Man, this was a really enjoyable story and episode. Also, super excited and grateful for the double Back Issues. You guys rock super hard.
One question, though. And anyone can answer if they know, but I was curious......where does Mogo's ring go? Is it on like a mountain or something?
It goes basically into it's core
BEST WEEK EVER!!
23:21 I always understood that xenomorphs are crap in an open field. You can shoot them and not worry about blood splatter if you have room
I think this is the only Ron Marz Kyle Rayner story that I've never read.
You guys should do ComicPop Plays as a lets play channel or bring it back on this channel. I know Tif did it a couple times but those were one off's, I'd love to see you guys do an episodic format where you play through the whole game. You guys have good chemistry and I think that'd it'd work well as a Let's Play.
So hyped for two back Issues this week! Thank you so much ComicPOP fam!!!
It would have been so cool if Ripley came out in this crossover and after finding the will to go on ( since the ppl most important to her usually die in stasis pods in between movies) she gets her own lantern ring at the end.
Hell yeah! Love the show and the other videos y'all do keep it up please do civil war on back issues
You would make that hilarious
At least Ben didn’t recommend restarting the robot “Chobits style”
This video need more love. Aliens!
7:21 Why are we still here? Just suffer?
Its rare I don't get a reference from the gang but when ben says 'how you gonna fly that without fuel' and it the sad music starts, the only thing I can think of is that episode of Firefly when the engine bunks and Mal is bleeding all over the ship. otherwise, i'm stumped!
Happy Alien DayI just finished watching Alien and Aliens before watching this episode.
I just got this in trade and was so excited. I thought i would never get to read it. So fun 🎉
D-D-D-DOUBLE BACK ISSUES
"the only way to improve infinity war is to put aliens in it" ookay sal alright.....
Those special rings you received + maximum willpower= double dose of Back Issues?
Xenomorphs don't necessarily die of old age they do get old and break down but if they're not near a queen for any extended period of time they die
It's not really fair to blame Kyle for staying on earth. The Guardians on OA could easily tell him if a planet needs him, but clearly they don't.
He's the ONLY Green Lantern. He has no back-up, no recon. If he flew off into space, he could end up dead and able to help nobody.
There were no Guardians.
