ah and on my Birthday.
@@marioacosta-warren921 Happy Birthday!! 🎉
@@marioacosta-warren921 Happy Birthday dude
I just watched the Ultraforce Cartoon, it's good. Shame it's been buried.
Why
I think we should get Ethan an Oscar. He clearly deserves it.
100%
*Class:* :D
Say the line, Sal!
*Sal:* "...Some part of Magneto imprints onto Professor Xavier..."
*Class:* YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Us 100%
I thought what you were wanting Sal to Say is "Juggernaut" lol
Do you still comment under the influence of the mustache
True
or copied
That opening skit was pure gold. Happy 400 episodes, ComicPOP! Here's to 400 more!
The skit at the beginning was fantastic, but for me the breakdown of the industry at the beginning was truly fascinating I know videos about the comic business don't usually do well but I'd love to see a Sal explains pivotal comic book decisions and how they impacted the industry. Kind of like a sister show to back issues.
@Jarred Kiser a whole episode of sal discussing the 90s antihero boom would be exquisite I know if you watch enough of their videos you can put it together but oh my how good would it be to listen to sal as a comic book historian.
I wouldn't mine that either. I loved their things about image and stacked and their thoughts on it.
Hear, hear! The story of how Perleman screwed over the industry was infinitely more interesting than the superhero book itself!
@@jonfedien8637 He kinda delved into it in the Bloodlines episode.
I find it so interesting it's the first back issues I watched back to back just so I could absorb it all
I would honestly love a "back issues" that's just 1 or 2 hours of Marvel's internal politics through the 90s
Please! I would pay hard earned money to see that.
Crowbar
Man, 400 episodes of Back Issues. HERE’S TO 400 MORE!!!
"You wanna read it, its Wizard 56" that is the biggest callout that I'v ever seen on this show. Like WOW going for the juggular. A+
Ethan is a chilling villain. He also used the word "concordantly" in a sentence so that's cool as well.
It wouldn’t be a momentous back issues without the “some part imprinted” line and a langoliers reference. This is a special one.
The only thing missing was the ridiculously circuitous scheme. Haven't heard that one in a while 😅
@@WhelmedButReady these are somehow some of my best my childhood memories
I'm so sorry so many of you are so focused on the Bishop element. Hopefully many of you got a lot out of this episode!
Fuechah!
I’m 26 minutes in and Sal is about to reveal WHY Onslaught was created and holy shit it’s like a documentary I never knew existed but it’s plot HAS to be told. It is literally why comic book events and creative talent are forever intertwined with marketing and sales, it’s the reason things are fucked for comic book fans forever lol. The best episode of Back Issues so far, congratulations to the entire team on 400 incredible episodes and thanks for telling this very important story of one of the least important comic book events ever.
Comic Pop’s New Series Sal Overexplains the Comic Universe: a series where Sal blends the real world with the comic world to tell the WHOLE story.
It's called back issues
I wonder if Geoff Johns read Onslaught and thought, "I can take that Magneto Parasite thing and make it a better retcon for Hal."
Well that's a scary thought. now I'm wondering what future writer is reading a terrible concept now taking notes from it so they can do a better story on their own later
I thought the same thing.
@@seand7042 It certainly is.
@@seand7042 and you wonder why Spider-man keeps getting clones.
Next up, Age of Apocalypse😆👍
Also that intro tho, the closest we'll get to a "Physical With Ethan" look
Also this is the first story done twice in this series
Oh contraire, they talked about Spawn (and the Spawnomenon) twice.
@@SpiralSine6 mmhhmm actually🖐😂
I’m so happy to know getting physical with Ethan is still going strong
This is technically the third time.
I loved everything about this episode but either having more back issues in this format or a new show that is talking about comic books and their context around their making would be INCREDIBLE!
I love the collective reaction once Sal says "A part of magneto" like he didn't even finish the statement and the reaction they all gave was pure gold.
You’ve talked about The Clone Saga, now Onslaught (twice), now all that’s left is to do Age of Apocalypse. After that, you will all complete the unholy trinity of 90’s Marvel comics “Epics”.
@@CrisisComics Ah yes. Before there was Hydra Cap, there was sleeper agent Tony Stark. Complete with teen Tony Stark.
Except the Age of Apocalypse is good.
@@DanV900 Of the three mentioned it's the best but let's be honest it still suffers from 90s "extreme!!!!/edgy" cheesiness.
onslaught saga was pretty cool, Age of apocalypse is arguably one of the better stories in comics and helped save marvel since everything but xmen were doing bad at the time
Happy 400-ish?!! That was the best opening in back issues. Watching Ethan try not to break character was hilarious.
Also Ethan should play Reed Richards.
There had to be a "some part of X imprinted onto Y" line in the 400th show, and you guys didn't disappoint
This is one of my favourite episodes. Sal took a storyline that most people don't care about anymore and turn It into a fascinating history lesson about the comic book industry.
That opening skit *chef's kiss* perfect, more please. It had that right amount of the early 2000's era of youtube skits
I'm 10 minutes in and Sal has said "no stranger to" a few times and I am disappointed no one has cut him off by yelling "love!" yet...
My favorite parts of Back Issues is the industry context Sal puts things into,
Oh and the pantomime of Onslaught at the grocery store.
* starts the video*
Me: “Ahh, production value!”
Only thing i know about Onslaught is that he was the final boss in Marvel vs Capcom. And I never bothered to learn anything else about him.
Back in the day, I thought he was made up for the game. lol
Tbf thats one of the few times he's actually cool-ish
@@Gator_Queen8188 he is literally just Magneto but bulky. That's why he looks coolish
I love these “inside-baseball” type of episodes! Thank you Sal! To 400 more episodes of back issues!
omg they produced deathstalker!? lol insert that clip of the goblin guy asking if the hero has anything to eat here "that's borderline experimental"
You know you’ve been watching comic pop for a long time when they do an opening sketch and you get nostalgia for the early episodes lol
Also Ethan did a pretty good job playing the Architect, he has really good comedic timing
Great episode as always! I don’t know about anyone else but I’m always fascinated by how Sal describes the comic industry, it’s key players, and it’s state (like in the spawn episode for the creation of image, the maxx episode for context on Sam Keith’s ethos, and just random tidbits in different episodes). It provides valuable meta-context for why something as wild as Onslaught was allowed to be a thing. Congrats on the 400th, can’t wait to see what’s in store.
Cutting off the Waid Cap run was awful....but let's face it, the other books were a mess. We had the "Teen Tony" thing, the Avengers were rough, Thor was baffling and FF still recovering from the too-long "Reed is dead" arc. If nothing else, thanks to Heroes Reborn, we got revival of Busiek on Avengers and Iron Man, Jurgens' Thor and others so they did need something to change things, they just went too far.
Agreed. Honestly, Jurgen's run on Thor is one of my favorites of all time. The Busiek run on Avengers was pretty amazing too. The Onslaught Saga was ridiculous, and even as it was being released, I thought it made no sense and was filled with ridiculous plot holes and contrivances, but I guess some house cleaning was in order at Marvel.
Ethan: I didn’t create Frogger, but I came up with the name for it… Can you believe they wanted to name it “Highway Crossing Frog”? …I know, it’s the lamest thing I’ve ever heard 😑
First off, congratulations on reaching 400 episodes of Back-issues. Secondly, this is probably one of my favorite episodes you’ve ever done. As someone who went to business school for 4+ years, I’m tracking EVERYTHING your explaining, and it’s blowing my mind.
Its like McDonalds...cause I'm LOVIN' IT!
It's like halfway through they sobered up from their bender and then came up with Impish Magneto jumping into Xavier
Quite possibly my fave episode now due to the meta commentary that Onslaught represents to the current era of comic, publications and economy. Just solid. Also, that Franklin Richards theory, and that mephisto idea, damn, that’s a wild one.
Damn. Don't know how Sal got that clip from the new Matrix sequel.
Congrats people! I don't usually comment on any video on this site, but I wanna take the oportunity to thank you for the hours of entertainment and insight that you bring every week. I've been watching since All Star B&R and have been a part of my weekly routine since, and I don't see any reason to change it.
Sincerly, an Argentinian fan. Cheers
So Onslaught is kind of a child of Prof X and Magneto. Which makes Ways of X more interesting since Legion, who is himself Charle's neglected son dealing with Onslaught.
Stuttering into another concordantly was great. Vis-à-vis.
Hi 5 lady!
I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion about the real life mechanics and the state of the comic industry that led to Onslaught. Really interesting stuff. And as usual Sal’s enthusiasm really shines through. Good on ya bud! Here’s to another 400!
400 episodes and god knows how many years i’ve been watching yall, i’m glad that even now comicpop is as strong as ever!!!
I’m now imagining Scott Loddel as the Monorail Guy from The Simpsons “Let me tell you bout a guy named Onslaught” “Who’s that” “Onslaught“ “WOW” “Onslaught you say” “ONSLAUGHT, ONSLAUGHT, ONSLAAAAAAUUUUUUGHT”
Sal everyone is talking about 400 episodes.
But Sal thank you.
Thank you.
For explaining the X-Men event that I can't be bothered reading, but everyone keeps bringing up.
How was is so easy to sit through this whole discussion without once feeling bored or wanting to change videos? God tier conversations
I know this was planned but I like the idea that Sal walked in on Ethan doing a bit and he just went with it
Ayyyy! Congrats lady and lads on 400 episodes! Here's to 400 more!
Also, loved the opening skit.
Absolutely fantastic episode! So glad ya'll made it to 400 episodes. I adore these episodes where you talk about the real life history behind a book. Always super interesting to hear about, the Spawn episode that's similar to this is one of my all time favorites.
Please do more dumb sketch content and implement it into your other shows. That was so funny.
Ethan rocks! That was amazing. More skits please you guys are awesome. Congrats on 400 episodes. We are so lucky to have everything you do!
The editing on that opening skit is LIT! Happy 400th Comicpop, and here's to 400 more!
One of the things I love about this show, is that they are constantly out doing themselves. So many times before I decreed pass episodes as their Magnum Opus... Episodes like Bendis Superman, HOX & POX, Coming of Galactus, Sword Of X... Each one out doing the one before... We again have a new Opus De Magnum... I have watched this episode at least 6 times, only came out a week ago. The skirt at the beginning deserves an Emmy nom. The industry breakdown is the greatest conversation of the post internet Era. Then the adventure through Onslaught itself was just the cherry on top of this caramel sundae in the form of a TH-cam vid. BRILLIANT!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
30:45 I just had this image in my head of Charles Xavier losing it in the store like Jim Carrey in Me, Myself and Irene.
“The problem is choice”. Am I Keanu in this or something?
I need more episodes of back issues like this where Sal turns into a teacher of nerdy history
I’d love that.
What a beautiful episode y'all. I've been watching since 2015 and pretty much every back issues episode is a gem. Can't believe how underrated your work is. Seriously.
Happy 400!!!
Love the matrix intro and can't wait for 500!
I’m so glad these type of intros have been brought back. Absolutely love the effort you guys put into episodes. Keep up the spectacular work guys.
I was just watching the old onslaught episode the other day and was thinking it’d be great to revisit it. Love the opening skit too! Keep being awesome guys!
I always come back to the first 30 min of this episode for the masterclass in 90's comics history. Love you guys ❤
This episode is amazing! I've been hoping you would do Onslaught for years, and it's everything I ever hoped for. Some absolutely fantastic reactions from Tiffany starting at about the hour mark. I was sold at the opening sketch. Sorry you had to do this so may times over, but as the saying goes, third time's the charm. Eagerly awaiting Age of Apocalypse
As a side note. I didn’t expect sal to go into the economics and distribution of the comic book industry. Definitely welcomed nonetheless.
Ethan as the Architect from the Matrix Reloaded…outstanding performance!
Is that the thickest book in the ComicPop library? It's the type of book that Mama Spiders would tell spooky stories about to their thousand kids.
God I'd kill to have an hour long episode going through the company history of Marvel (or any other group). God it's so fascinating
Great episode, loved the history lesson! Would love to see more episodes delving into the behind the scenes and makings of these stories
Solid gold, couldn't ask for a better 400! Thank you Comic Pop!
I love that opening skit it was really funny
you guys seriously got me through some tough times. thanks for everything. happy 400!
That intro was just fantastic, Ethan trying so hard not to break had me in stiches.
This episode was wild beginning to end. Also, I'm sorry, the Squadron Supreme book's ink has WHATTT?????
I mean what author wouldn't want to imprint some part of themselves into their best works?
Happy 400ish episodes of Back Issues and here’s to at least 400 more! I’ll say one thing for Onslaught, he is one cool image
Sal! Loved the bit at the beginning! I would love to see the return of the skits. Like the Christmas special, for instance.
400 episodes of Back Issues is seriously an amazing achievement! Congrats to everyone and thank you for all the passion and effort you put forth for us!
I love hearing history lessons of the comic book industry. Happy 400 episodes! Here's to 400 more!
Every time Sal does Bishop makes me die laughing. I pray one day I could hear him impersonate Leatherneck from TMNT.
I am the Milkman, my milk is delicious
Since Onslaught is on Krakoa this more topical,you guys are ahead of the curve
The history of Onslaught is a fucking roller-coaster and the behind the scenes of it is so much more interesting than the story itself. It ends up becoming a piece of metafiction about the flaws and failures of 90s comics. You have these huge massive scale epics that focus on these huge villains with big cool edgy designs and just how ultimately world endingly powerful but how That the Systems that brought about onslaught were also the systems that both on a meta and litteral sense could've ended the marvel universe as a whole. And how the heroes are fighting tooth and nail to if not able to save the marvel universe, do whatever they can with whatever they have left.
Happy 400 COMIC POP! I've spent hours watching and re-watching your shows, you're not just my favorite comic channel, you're my favorite channel on the whole damn site!
Thank you for all the fun and entertainment, and I can't wait to see what you do next!
All of this insanity, money spent, people fired and shops closed… And all we got at the end was Heroes Reborn. JESUS! 90s Marvel was a shit show. Happy 400th episode guys!
I cant wait for these flawless performances to get robbed at the Oscars this year.
Congratulations on 400! Loved the skit! And thanks for all the entertainment!
Congratulations on 400!!! Way to go ComicPop crew!
That opening was amazing! I loved it! 😂
Also, congrats on the 400th episode!
43:48 so what you're saying is that,
🎶IT WAS AGATHA ALL ALONG 🎶 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Phil Collins voice: "I been waiting for this moment..... for all my liiiiiiifffeee oh lord"💯🤣👏🏾
Oh my god. I just realized Xaviers whole plan was basically the Human Instrumentality Project from Evangelion
Oh fuck.
Loved the opening skit! Happy 400, guys! Thanks for all the episodes, and here's to many more! Wednesday is my "Monday" at work, and this helps me look forward to Wednesday every week!
The skit was hilarious, congrats on 400 episodes!
Onslaught was my first backissues! Now its also my 400th! I love it. Thanks guys for all the joy you bring to the POPulation.
I couldn't ask for a better milestone episode for this series: skit intro, backdrop of Marvel's business dealings in the 90s, X-title during the peak of my comic reading time growing up... perfection. Thank you, and congrats (a year later)!
Just found your channel and love this video! I was a teen in the 90s and Age of Apocalypse was so fun, then they followed it up with Onslaught and it killed my love of collecting comics, it was just so terrible. Loved the history of Marvel as well, great content!
You got my Like the second Ethan turned around in that chair.
Happy 400 episodes!!!!! I’ve been watching this channel almost everyday for about 5 years or so, absolutely love each and everyone of you, and here’s to 100k!!!!!
Congratulations on 400 episodes. I am expecting this episode to be a Juggernaut!
Happy 400! Can't wait for what the future holds and the next 400 episodes of Back Issues. That intro had me wondering if we could ever see The Matrix comics on back issues or GBU. Opening was hilarious and awesome. Keep up the good work.
Third time's a charm!
Happy 400 episodes you guys! The opening skit was flawless!
Happy 400th Back Issues!
Bout literally a minute into this ... film , & gawddamnittttt this is great, nobody understands how much I miss the skits 😭
Being that this was a matrix one though,.... literally crying that Sal was done once they got that “imprinting” joke 😭... ah man, great work, can’t wait to see more!! Super long comment just to say ...
You guys are amazing, wishing all the more success to alllll of you ! And like Sal said “you guys are getting better each time” 👌🏾
I love the little skit in the beginning we need more like this
Called it!!! Hahaha
Intro was awesome too... Happy 400-ish, guys!!!
