@@tylerjohnson2470 no joke, Ben matches Johnny's energy to a T. Ethan is Reed as established in this episode, Tiffany is Sue (not because she's a woman, but because she's the parent of the group). That leaves Sal as Ben but happier. Same New York charm.
I know Alex Ross is (for good reason) more well known and regarded for his cover work, but I wouldn’t mind seeing him do more interior art for comics like when he did Kingdom Come and Marvels, especially in this style.
I recommend checking out the series of large graphic novels ( I think they're called something like tabloid comics) he did with Paul Dini to celebrate 60 years of DCs biggest characters. I have a few of them and each one is beautiful!
The problem when you're such a marketable and recognized artist with such a time consuming technique is that doing a full comics is not always worth your while, he did do an uncle sam comics for DC that is pretty neat if you want to check it out.
Check out DCs Justice book, it's fully painted by Ross over excellent Doug Braithwaite pencils. I recommend the original 3 volume set since they have the least gutter loss so it's easier to see everything
46:00 Holy crap... Ben made a Valiant reference. Think about the shift in his comic knowledge compared to the first episode of Back Issues. That's so awesome.
I loved Fantastic four full circle. It’s nice to see Marvel’s first family get the respect they deserve. Please do more FF stories like the Lee/Kirby run or more of John Byrne’s stories
I now have a tear thinking of that great Human Torch story that tied into Secret Wars 2 - so much better then the mini series that spawned it. Tragic as well…. Geez it was dark and great.
Ethan says smart stuff, and you realize right away that you learned something. Tiffany says smart stuff, and you realize hours to months later that you learned something. Say has the ability to find interesting people, and is the glue that keeps them around. Ben is effortlessly funny, always ready to joke and pun. Wednesday's Back Issues is always a highlight of the week.
I really cannot overstate how much I love this book. It was definitely in high demand when it first released because I had to go to five different comic shops before I found one where they hadn’t all sold out.
If Ethan is Mr. Fantastic wanting to be the Thing, since Ben is clearly Human Torch, would that make Sal the Thing wanting to be Mr. Fantastic? Leaving Tiffany to be... Clea, Sorcerer Supreme, obvi
Yeah, I went without subscribing to any TH-cam channels for years and when I decided to start subscribing, ComicPop was the first channel I subscribed to
Tiffany gushing about the art in the book and Sal's summary about comic books as a medium really are the highlights of this episode. Another great episode of Back Issues all around!
I really hope we get more of these, even if they aren't all from Alex Ross. With that being said, I'd love to read a Thor or Silver Surfer book from Ross in this same Kirby-esque style.
Quick correction to 20:56, the “children setting themselves on fire because of Johnny” story is actually a myth 😅, the true story is just that Marvel had made a deal to get Human Torch his own movie, so Hanna-Barbera weren’t allowed to use him, yk your typical company rights stuff. Loved the video as always! Hope to see more FF content in the future!
I want to believe that at one point, I honestly did know the origin of the “Some part of X imprinted onto Y…” joke, but by now it’s just become the Back Issues Ourouboros, neither ending nor beginning, neither living nor dead, forever bound to serve the will of the dread lord Sal.
Really enjoyed this episode Tiffany’s affection for the art was lovely. I was worried that because of the TH-cam rules change that Sal wouldn’t swear anymore an I don’t know why but I really like it when he does so so happy to see him cut loose at the end 👍🏻
I honestly have been an FF fan since I was a child, and this story exemplifies the sincerity and warmth that always made me a fan of the FF and why I have loved this family. The series is a combination of adventure, exploration and mystery through the lens of some very flawed, but loving people that do their best to try to create connections and be better, fix wrongs and ultimately create a better future. Their compassion towards Ricardo Jones and the family's warmth and good nature is why they are my favourite comic book series from Marvel. Also I find it funny that Janus faked his death initially, reappears in Heroes Return then "dies" working for Gideon Trust and ends up in the Negative Zone again. Also I will always refer to Annihilus' Cosmic Control Rod as his "Little Keg,". Also the Lion Guy actually looks like the species that actually crashed landed into the Negative Zone and brought forth a bunch of species that Annihilus and others sprung forth and evolved from. Actually the Life Canisters that they had Annihilus used to create his Cosmic Control Rod.
@@architeuthis3476 It works for people who are fans, but if you are trying to get into this book, you would need to read issues #51, 107 to and 110 respectively.
Its one of the most breathtaking graphic novels in recent years. I want Ross to do more interior work. I would love to see him do something similar with X-Men and Spider-Man.
Picked this up after watching this episode and I loved it. It goes without saying, but Alex Ross' art is phenomenal and worth the price of admission alone.
It’s great to see that Sal made reference to the Alex Ross vid where he sculpted his own maquettes to draw from. I was hoping that would be mentioned..Such an awesome process to watch! 🤯 Awesome book review guys 👏👏
It is truly amazing how great this book looks what kind of mad that I missed out on it when it first came out. I love the synchronicity here, especially at the beginning when Ben mentioned turning the page at the sound of the racking shotgun. 😫👏🏿. Nearly spit out my water 🤣🤣
The format feeds into the nostalgia for European comic book readers of a certain age. For a very long time reprint 'annuals' were the only non disposal comic strips we had access too, and our main source of American comics. Kirby featured a lot because of the quality of the art (and probably a European sensibility) France,Spain,Italy,the UK and Germany are all very proud of their great illustrators and picture books still had highbrow snobbery attached so it takes a Kirby to hold their own against them. Much like Ross did in his own era. I really really want this book.
Had to pause the video and checkout and buy the book myself. What a fun wholesome adventure this was! Now I continue to indulge in this excellent humorous commentary!
There’s a great avant-garde blackened death metal band called Portal that I enjoy. The vocalist used to look like a grandfather clock haha but now he looks like Cthulhu th-cam.com/video/2Vyw_FGIhAE/w-d-xo.html
Okay I recognize that I am super nerdy for this, but the Fantastic Four are insanely OP in general, and are limited by most writers not understanding the previously established extents of their powers. Mr. Fantastic is virtually indestructible, and if he is wearing a suit that protects him from energy blasts/fire, he is an invincible shapeshifting genius. Sue is at least in the modern era a little more respected in regards to her powers and abilities. She is capable of creating nearly indestructable forcefields in any shape or size, and she is also a genius biochemist with four doctorates, so shes creative af. Also, she can turn herself and any object around her invisible, meaning she can blind people with a thought or manipulate them by filling her surroundings with traps. Johnny is obviously capable of burning even godlike beings, with a radius that continues to grow with every story. Ben is insanely strong and durable, he is pretty commonly understood to be pretty OP.
It's forgotten sometimes that Ben is also really freaking smart. He has a more simple lifestyle and mentality, sure but he's no dummy. He had training to become an astronaut, which requires a couple of PHDs, a knowledge of astrophysics, and also the piloting skills. It just so happens that Reed is working on a whole other level, and ben requires a catchup.
Any book where Alex Ross is interiors is worth getting, but I don’t think there’s any artist who’s captured that “Jack Kirby” feel as good as Alex Ross does. I think this is some of his best work, really fitting for the Fantastic Four, and really demonstrates he is the air parent to that “King” title.
Great content just recently found the channel and really enjoy. I've been looking i havnt seen much avengers next time period on here and would enjoy if you all did Exiles
20:36 I thought that HERBIE got added to the Fantastic Four because Human Torch was tied up in some kind of legal dispute? (Although the idea that studio execs thought kids would light themselves on fire sounds real)
Yeah the Johnny Storm light yourself of fire thing is an urban legend. Human torch was wrapped up in movie rights so they got kirby to design a cute robot because he worked there at the time. There is a john byrne story about something like that though.
as a big fan of both Black/Death metal and Comic Pop, I couldn't be more thrilled with this episode. ETERNAL HAILS TO CORPSE PORTAL!! a trve kvlt means of conveyance
See I imagine them sounding like Death Magic era Health (or even the post DM material) - but I imagine all bands sounding like that because it is seriously amazing. I imagine Ben would like theM a lot.
Have yet to read this book but one of my best mates got me an original printing of fantastic four 53, which is where the image at 2:35 comes from. Kirby really depicts the negative zone in epic otherworldly fashion
Wow...I never heard of this book. Worth looking for! Fun Fact: This Man, This Monster is found in the 90s 50 Years of Marvel book. It is a fun throwback read.
I'm glad this book didn't sell out entirely (yet). I was gonna buy it on a certain website for real cheap and missed out. Ended up using amazon because FOMO hit me pretty hard, lmao. It's very beautiful though, got No Regrets!!
Reed: "Children, what happened to the corpse portal?" Valeria: "Oh...uh, the building's systems determined it was a foreign element and disposed of it. I know it didn't do that before, but after it detected you weren't here, uh, the sensors-" Franklin: passes by room "You were gone a long time. Neither of us know how to cook. We got hungry." leaves room
This book came about because Alex heard they were going to bring back the Fantastic Four. They gave it to Dan Slott. The color scheme came from black light posters and 2017 Nick Fury Deep Cover Capers. Mr Fantastic was actor Gary Conway from Land of the Giants.
This is something Marvel should be doing if they wanna tap into the nostalgic and fan-favourite creators. Get those creators to make the artistic spectacles over their favourite characters.
I know this book doesn't seem like a big deal. But to me it's a modern masterpiece. It may not be Kingdom Come, but these quieter moments in marvel history can have such a big impact when there in capable hands like Ross, giving it new life.

I saw this as the new BI. I got a third of the way through, while at work I went to go buy it. Marvel needs to pay you guys. I had no idea this even existed.
The obvious solution is to give the Thing a shirt and pants with a pattern that emulates his rocky exterior. But in a different color so you know it's clothing, maybe?
Human Torch was replaced because Universal studios had the rights to make a Human Torch TV series at the time among other Marvel characters such as Incredible Hulk (which resulted in a hit series)Dr. Strange & Captain America (which only resulted in TV pilots) Submariner (which resulted in Man from Atlantis) Ms Marvel which like Torch nothing came of it and Howard the Duck which well...
The art in this book pretty much cemented that April Bowlby needs to play Sue Storm in the FF4 movie shes an incredible actress, shes already playing a 50s style character, and she has experience with stretching and bad romances
Buy Fantastic Four: Full Circle right here! amzn.to/3H8TnHr
Can't wait to The Fantastic Four in the MCU!!!😍
Got it as a birthday present. This book is *gorgeous*, highly recommended. I want them to make more of these!
Love you guys don't ever stop ✌🏿
I hadn't thought about it before, but the ComicPop crew match-up to the Fantastic Four reasonably well
Now they just need the costumes
Which one is the Thing?
Its a battle between Sal and Ben to see who's the gross rock monster

I agree, I do love his covers especially from Morrisons Batman run but seeing his art flow with a story is just a great experience

Another Fantastic Four episode? So soon? Glad to see it. The FF are one of my favorite parts of Marvel and they never get enough love.

Tiffany is all of us on this and every other Alex Ross piece of art

Yup...I had pre-ordered this one as soon as I saw Ross talking about it on his Instagram and youtube

Watching Alex Ross youtube channel, and seeing how he made this comic was pretty cool. I reccomend people do the same
Dude! Your profile pic is the best! lol
Was not expecting Berenstein Bears lore from Sal

This was an awesome fantastic four book and the Alex Ross as always is incredible as always
(42:56) I think the point in this comic was that the Fantastic Four _themselves_ never got his name until now.
Wow the art is really good in this book!
The concept of Full Circle should just be standard for cape comics at the point.
no way Sal said “Ethan: Is Mr Fantastic; would rather be the Thing” 😂

Wednesdays would suck without back issues, thank goodness for ya
Metal mutant? Is that a 50s b horror movie? 29:15
We gotta get that Fantastic Four #51 on an episode of Good, Bad, and the Ugly soon
The reason the quiet guy is quiet is because all his thoughts escape his mind and go to Reeds

" OR I'll be made of poop, next time." LOL....
I got this book the day it came out and it hasn’t left my mind since. If you haven’t read this book it’s like an acid trip
I always thought that Jack Kirby used Fred Mac Murray for a model for Mr. Fantastic!!!!!!!
I wish I'd found this a year ago so I coulda asked what the anti-transformers bearnstain bears comic was.
you mean make more of these Alex Ross
Was the printing color method referenced CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black)?
You're thinking of the Alternative Factor on the original Star Trek guest starring Robert Brown as "Lazarus"!!!!!!!
The art in this book pretty much cemented that April Bowlby needs to play Sue Storm in the FF4 movie shes an incredible actress, shes already playing a 50s style character, and she has experience with stretching and bad romances
just realised scott snyders next dc event is gonna be called black metal , thanks guys
Engagement and interaction with creator to please the mathemagics that choses what gets seen or not.
Like Allen Moore’s idea of what Swamp Thing really was?
Why doesnt marvel put Alex Ross on fantastic four?
It's kind of strange that despite being well written, well recieved, and well remembered Fantastic Four doesn't do as well as other Marvel books.
Wait Mr Fantastic is the Professor? That makes a weird sorta sense
