I just really love that this book is dark, but not edgy, like it shows you the dark underbelly of the Marvel universe, but no one is suddenly being like "welp Tony stark is actually a sexual predator" or that "Wolverine is actually a pedophile" or something like that, it's a very grounded dark and not edgy dark
I have to be honest...ive been dodging watching this episode because i somehow thought that it had something to do with the show ALIAS...but since I've seen every other comic pop video and i needed my comic pop fix...i caved in.......and it was one of the greatest things I've ever done...sweet god this story is insane
still havne't read Alias but I've heard about it before and when I saw today's back issues titled my mouth dropped and formed an O. I have to read this now! My reaction to hearing the story is the same as ben and ethan and knowing whats to come its weird, i have this apprehension to read it because it goes to a really dark internal place where you have to overcome or deal with trauma. As someone who has often made 'bad choices' it also seems like it could in many ways be one of the most realistic depictions of a person in comics. But I love your description of it as Jessica learning life lessons and turning them down
Unfortunately, I don't think so :( (although I would love for Kilgrave to apppear again) However, in the comics Kilgrave does have a healing ability so if they used that Kilgrave _could_ come back but I doubt it. In season two he might appear in flashbacks due to Jessica's PTSD
9:59 Can you lift? Kinda which car? I can lift a Volkswagen. A sedan? Eventually. Someone get this dump truck off of this woman! Oh you have to call the Avengers.
Something I love to do is watch Back Issues to hear about books I haven't read, then go buy them and read them. I just did this with Jessica Jones, and I want to thank you for introducing it to me. I loved it, and I loved rewatching this video with my own understanding of the story in mind. Any chance we will get The Pulse as an episode? Also a propopos Jessica Jones, will you be doing a review of Netflix's Defenders, either on Weekly Pull or as it's own episode?
I love the Alias comics, and you've guys have just got a new subscriber. Would you guys ever talk about Imagine Comics, like Saga, or Chew or Outcast. They're all very explicit. Or Vertigo Comics, which has Fables which is also explicit?
I just finished reading this. I have to say this book really flew under the radar. It was dark funny sexy and I enjoyed the character interactions. I hope Marvel keep this up with the new Alias series that just launched
I've watched every episode of back issues as well as the TWP episodes I want to thank u guys for all the shows and hope they keep coming this particular episode has me watching the Netflix series right now even got my non comic book reading wife into it. also I've gotten back into reading actual comics and am currently reading the infinity crusade tho I need to locate the rest of the trades to finish the story...... thanks guys and gal
Whats also really cool about the Alias What if is that Jessica notices that something was off with Wanda and she was given psychiatric help so she never had a breakdown and caused Avengers Disassembled or House of M.
Great episode! And please do a super-long Ultimate Spider-Man Back Issues sometime in the near future, that is one of my favorite comic runs and it would be great to hear another fan's take on it (:
just got done watching the Netflix series Jessica Jones. it is one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen. Marvel tv keeps us up my head might explode if they ever make a Moon Knight series
+ComicPOP! Hey actually I'm a huge fan of the pulse. It's one of my all time favorite comics. There's an omnibus of it and a back issues on it would be amazing. Tell Tiff that Dr strange is in it. Keep up the good work and ultron 8 is a better father than luke cage will ever be.
To me the MAX imprint was always Marvel realizing they were 10 years too late on DC's VERTIGO line. With that being said both Alias and Punisher MAX (imo the best version of the Punisher) are awesome! I hope you guys do more VERTIGO stuff as well. To me those are some of the best comics written period. As for the rating thing, that always rubbed me the wrong way...it's like being treated like a child. I mean yeah Spiderman isn't going to get super dark but a Nick Fury solo series might (and has) but shouldn't that be obvious when you pick it up?
+Omer Khan I would guess they want the ratings for new readers (or their parents) who might see an awesome cover and not know that Nick Fury is a more adult character than Superman or Spiderman
+Ethan Marsh I suppose so, but the main reason I brought this up was because I recently picked up the HC trades of the Miracleman reprints that Marvel have been putting out. And I own and have read the original trades and something REALLY pissed me off and it's the fact that they censored a certain word that's only used twice in specific contexts and I just thought it was disrespecting my intelligence. And on top of that they slapped the explicit sign on the front cover even though it's not that explicit until the birth issue and the final battle(which are in books 2 and 3). It would be pretty interesting if you guys did an episode specifically about censorship at some point addressing certain happenings like this.
I would much rather have Vision in an Avengers book than Luke and Jessica, however I'm still a big fan of Luke and Jessica. Really looking forward to the show.
Two things... First, MARVEL did indeed "waste" David Tennant at the end of JESSICA JONES. Second, in that WHAT IF featuring Jessica, because she made the choice to join, she prevented the "Avengers Disassembled" storyline; that means no "House of M" or "Decimation", just for starters.
Hi! I'm planning on buying the first tp (#1-9). May I ask you if either there is a massive cliffhanger at the end of it or a minimum closure of the first story arc? Thanks from Argentina!
Hahahaha Alias is a "20 year-old TV show from James Cameron" That made me laugh so hard..!! It's my second favourite TV show of all time and my first experience with JJ Abrams' brilliance.
Such a good series so far. I’m reading the trades and trying to collect some slabs because to me this is a great character with Marvel history baked in.
dude I love you're entire channel and I really like how honest your entire cast is. are you ever going to do Moon Knight or an Ironfist Story any time soon?
"They have David Tennant, they are not gonna waste him." - Sal, a month before watching all of JJ on Netflix. I snorted.
+Tails The Foxy And they didn't. He was amazing.
ComicPOP
I snorted because of the end of JJ S1 .^^
illumiNATI Hate to be the one to say it, but it looks like that was never really going to happen.
illumiNATI More like Marvel TV and Movies don't work together well.
Tails The Foxy
Jessica Jones doesn't make entirely bad decisions. After all, she let Squirrel Girl become her daughters nanny.
I'm excited for Jessica Jones season 2 introducing her.
introducing squirrel girl???? TF?
They should get someone like Kate Miccuci or Alia Shakwat to play Squirrel Girl.
"My husband's cheating on me."
"Actually you've been sleeping with a Skrull."
Well now you HAVE to do PunisherMax
I agree
*5 years later*
That one is never happening

Quickly learning that if you don't keep Spider-Man in check, he'll just flop his dong all over the place.
ONmedz he did strip
Bagley was involved? That's it. Nuff said. I gotta read it now.
I gotta say, that's one helluva "how I met your father" story for Jessica to tell.
OMG You made my day!
+Brandon Martinelli I believe he pronounces it "moo-stah-sh". Like a sir.
HOW FAR BACK DO YOU GO, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN STALKING MY INTERESTS???

Man you guys killed it, i seriously can't wait to see the Netflix series. It's going to be fantastic!

for years I have refused to get Netflix.....I feel my will power failing as this episode continues
If you watched the Jessica Jones...now Disney+ series....it is a fun book to read.
A 6 hour Back Issue? Don't tease me, just do it.
this is one of my favorite videos you guys have produced. thank you for your efforts
SPOILERS:
Do you think they're gonna use Purple man in Daredevil?
Yeah why should they waste David tenant?
*purple man dies in Jessica jones*
Unfortunately, I don't think so :( (although I would love for Kilgrave to apppear again)
However, in the comics Kilgrave does have a healing ability so if they used that Kilgrave _could_ come back but I doubt it.
In season two he might appear in flashbacks due to Jessica's PTSD
Multiple hour episode 100 ultimate Spider-Man?
Plz you know it's awesome
Yes!!! That would be amazing
+The city of Boston I think a better choice would be to visit the thing that caused Sal to leave comics. You know what I'm talking about.
+Just Some Guy with a Mustache oh yes the saga of the clones ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ) the clone saga is like the new world war hulk for me
I actually read the Punisher Max and that series is amazing.
Every one wants you to do Punisher MAX but I wanna see Howard the Duck MAX (that exist right)
Yeah it does
Barracuda
9:59
Can you lift?
Kinda which car? I can lift a Volkswagen.
A sedan? Eventually.
Someone get this dump truck off of this woman! Oh you have to call the Avengers.
Hearing David Tennant's voice in that trailer gave me chills.
This is my favorite Back Issues to date. Great job, everyone.
Something I love to do is watch Back Issues to hear about books I haven't read, then go buy them and read them. I just did this with Jessica Jones, and I want to thank you for introducing it to me. I loved it, and I loved rewatching this video with my own understanding of the story in mind.

The book is great, and show is surprisingly awesome!
Best episode ever! I love Alias. I can't wait to see Jessica and the Purple Man in the netflix show.
7:58 Batman Damned... Plus War of Jokes and Riddles came from that very couch. Change this channel's name to ComicProphecies
No sleep tonight I guess..
Oh well. Back Issues!!!!!
same
Yep.
so true
that was really good. I found an appreciation for her and luke i never had before. thanks guys keep it up
I was hoping I wouldn't have to wait til tomorrow for this!
this was pretty good thanks guys
I love the Alias comics, and you've guys have just got a new subscriber. Would you guys ever talk about Imagine Comics, like Saga, or Chew or Outcast. They're all very explicit. Or Vertigo Comics, which has Fables which is also explicit?
I think they might have done Saga
+zyon jones They did. It was their 50th Episode Special. Good times.
Ok. I'll check it out
Where’s issue 10 in JJ Alias
I just finished reading this. I have to say this book really flew under the radar. It was dark funny sexy and I enjoyed the character interactions. I hope Marvel keep this up with the new Alias series that just launched
Love your channel guys keep it up! Ultimate Spider-Man is my absolute favorite series, I can't wait for that one. I hope to see it soon.
+Zamain Sorgenfrei Thank you!
I've watched every episode of back issues as well as the TWP episodes I want to thank u guys for all the shows and hope they keep coming this particular episode has me watching the Netflix series right now even got my non comic book reading wife into it. also I've gotten back into reading actual comics and am currently reading the infinity crusade tho I need to locate the rest of the trades to finish the story...... thanks guys and gal
Love the shirt Sal. Been Watching MST3K lately. Good Stuff. Keep it up, love the show.
Thanks John!
I always learn something new when watching you guys, keep it up!
SHOW WILL BE GREAT, CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR REVIEW OF THE JESSICA JONES SHOW
Whats also really cool about the Alias What if is that Jessica notices that something was off with Wanda and she was given psychiatric help so she never had a breakdown and caused Avengers Disassembled or House of M.
hey now that we're on the topic PUNISHER MAX!!
Mystery science theater!!!!!! And Jessica jones!!!! Double shot of greatness!!
Read the omni last week and it was great.
Great episode! And please do a super-long Ultimate Spider-Man Back Issues sometime in the near future, that is one of my favorite comic runs and it would be great to hear another fan's take on it (:
The bit where Sal speculates on Marvel not wanting Spidey to show his dick in the MAX books...oddly prophetic lol
I was literally reading this as this episode came out, I didn't want spoilers so i had to wait until I finished to watch this episode. :(
Was gonna pass on this Back Issues episode, but I'm here. Good stuff might even find the paperbacks. LoL at all the "Oh Shits" from Ben n Ethan.
another hilarious episode
They also did a Zombie MAX about Simon Garth, and it was just basically the Walking Dead.
By any chance was Grant Morrison the Writer of that Animal man book?
+ralph hunter He sure was ;)
just got done watching the Netflix series Jessica Jones. it is one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen. Marvel tv keeps us up my head might explode if they ever make a Moon Knight series
thanks for this! really cool story!
your channel is awesome dude!!!! there aren't many channels like yours nd P.S.can u do a watchmen video??
+darkknight 12228 Thanks man! We'll do Watchmen one day in some capacity.
Man this is one of the darkest stories out there.

+matthew kaplan I will, Matthew! Thank you!
The first few episodes of Daredevil S2 Punisher is the bad guy but the overall bad guys are the Hand
Punisher MAX eventually? Maybe?
12:46 Because fuck the Avengers and fuck Spider-Man.
A back issues and 2 different chats with Joel. I'm have a good couple hours ahead of me today.

what about squadron supreme on the max label? it's a pretty good story
Didn't know they had cast Tennant as Purple Man. That could be interesting.
Thor had a fun MAX mini-series, he fought Viking Zombies. Garth Ennis wrote it
I wish someone would do Hitman! Tommy Monaghan is criminally underrated. He's dead in Garth Ennis' basement.
Darker = end up with Luke...Brighter = end up with Captain America who new book is named White.
+Elisa Jasso THAT'S RACIST
200damary where's my money honey
You guys should tackle Jonathan Hickman's Fantastic Four run
I would much rather have Vision in an Avengers book than Luke and Jessica, however I'm still a big fan of Luke and Jessica. Really looking forward to the show.
+Kevin Marques LUKE CAGE AND JESSICA ARE BETTER THEN VISION
+200damary nope
Are you guys ever gonna do Spiderman Blue? It would be awesome if you did.
I have good News for you mate
Aww I was hoping you guys would have joked about how she liked Peter in the new avengers run when she found out he was Spider-Man lol
Two things... First, MARVEL did indeed "waste" David Tennant at the end of JESSICA JONES. Second, in that WHAT IF featuring Jessica, because she made the choice to join, she prevented the "Avengers Disassembled" storyline; that means no "House of M" or "Decimation", just for starters.
+David Scott Yeah, it's in the trade.
Why can't I find this book anywhere? I really wanna read it!
R.I.P ult jameson... oh yeah R.I.P the whole Ultimate universe
the comic sounds alot better then the show we got
Hello ComicPOP! Could you please do a episode of backissues with Spider-Man: Blue?
Hi! I'm planning on buying the first tp (#1-9). May I ask you if either there is a massive cliffhanger at the end of it or a minimum closure of the first story arc? Thanks from Argentina!
+Martín Fasanelli You'll be fine, I think.
you should do a back issues of spiderman reign
last 10 minutes is funny to listen to now I've watch Jessica Jones
'The butt sex heard around the comic world!!' There's a tshirt waiting to be made
was this or powers written first? similar power loss stuff
hey can you do punisher max?
The ending of Alias is exactly like knocked up with the whole Luke Cage and Jessica Jones thing
The Seth Rogen movie?
Blaze Espiritu yup
I really want that Ultimate Spider-Man episode!
That Animal Man writer, Grant Morrison.
What did you think of the Netflix show?
Lol gotta love animal man
ooo 1080p..me gusta
Tell us the story of carl danvers
what age would you recommend this for because I am 15
Captain America: Marvel's Prince Charming
Will purple man show up in daredevil? Uh no not gonna say why but yeah he won't be which sucks.
Waiting patiently for that ultimate Spider-Man tbh, earth 1610 Peter Parker is probably one of the best. Deserves long discussion.
Hahahaha Alias is a "20 year-old TV show from James Cameron"
That made me laugh so hard..!!
It's my second favourite TV show of all time and my first experience with JJ Abrams' brilliance.
Such a good series so far. I’m reading the trades and trying to collect some slabs because to me this is a great character with Marvel history baked in.
Hey Sal do you like Spider-Man stupid question but I'd like to know.
+Austin Shirley Big fan
dude I love you're entire channel and I really like how honest your entire cast is. are you ever going to do Moon Knight or an Ironfist Story any time soon?
+ComicPOP! you guys should do batman and robin vol 1 by grant morrison
+Shawn Zamir Thanks! And yes.
+ComicPOP! Thanks for replying and not hating me for my stupid question love you guys.
Question:
If I did not speak english, Purple man would be able to control me?
+Ronin Snake I think you're right.
I thought Purple Man was based on pheromones, or something.
+jermox I was thinking that, but than I thought, but yeah, you actually have to hear what he is telling you to do to do it, guv.
wolverine max is amazing as well
So Echo could kick the shit out of Purple Man? i would love to see that!!
What if Marvel freaking die in early 2000, and someone bought it and did what they have done over at Valiant since 2012. Sigh a man can dream.
Will you ever do Captain America: Winter Soldier, or any Winter Soldier solo-stories?
i liked the max series especially supreme power
I have never cared much about Jessica Jones.
zombie max!
