OMG I LOVE THIS REFERENCE
god bless you good man. you made my week with that reference.
Villain bodies are kept under The Hall of Justice so heroes can spit on them.
"Hey, Nightwing, what's wrong?"
"Babs dumped me."
"Aw, you know what'll make you feel better?"
"What?"
"Let's go down to the mausoleum and shit in Blockbuster's mouth."
Allen Babylon at this time it was Batman but it still applies lmao
Why specifically Blockbuster?? what did he ever do to deserve that??
@@kabutoisgay he was like Nightwing's nemesis in the Devin Grayson run
The lil ol' Ally Moore impression killed me 😂
1 Werewolf = 5 Italian Men, the things you learn on this channel.
That Italian chick must be into werewolves
I actually take issue with saying Wonder Woman getting the Violet Ring is lame. "She got it because Woman" is bullshit. Wonder Woman's entire character was built on love and peace. Her getting the Violet ring makes the most sense in the world.
+InoMercy THANK YOU! My thoughts exactly
Wonder Woman has been portrayed as a more ruthless and violent character in some books (eg Kingdom Come, New 52 to some extent) which is probably what Ben is thinking of here.
Which I usually have a problem with. It can work, like in the Justice League cartoon, and probably Kingdom Come I've haven't read it yet.
+Ethan Marsh Granted I don't read too many DC books atm, but I did read the full run of the Brian Azzarello (Vol 1-6) run in the New 52 and she never came off as particulary violent and ruthless. Based on this version of Wonder Woman, I'm not sure why Sal felt the Violet Ring was lame. Love is a pretty strong emotion after all. For me the ring suited her pretty well.
+Ebrehlac00 she seems a lot more violent than pre-New 52 Wondy, but she's a lot more diplomatic than most New 52 versions of characters. In a world where Wally West and Billy Batson are jerks, she's practically a saint.
He brought back Batman because that established an emotional tether that he could use to take over Superman, Wonder Woman and the like.
"We killed Superman, we broke the Bat, WATCH OUT HAL JORDAN" fucks so HARD
I wasn't bothered by Wonder Woman being love. Mainly because I didn't really view it as like 'she's a woman so obviously she has to be love', I saw as like
She's an a person who just loves humanity and will fight tooth and nail for it.
So there's Zombie Werwolf Sal, and Salan Moore. If these personalities lie deep inside his mind, who's to say there isn't a Zuhr En Ahr Sal? Or an evil Sal? Or FEMALE SAL!? #salverseconfirmed
+Jade Slade I would read that book
Into the sal verse
The Council of Sals
LIL'OL ALLIE MOORE!
Blackest Night was my VERY first foray into DC I had no idea who anyone who weren't flagship characters were, but it was SO GOOD I loved it
hevilledrouin Same. 5th grade
Same actually, borrowed it from a library when I was 11
Hide yo Wonder twins, Hide yo Titans cuz everybody's gettin Black Lanterned out here!
Lmaoooooooo the whole werewolf bit reaaaallyyyy threw me off , I’m dying right now , great vid guys,
Ethan's face during the last bit. Trying to keep it cool.... EPIC hahahaha
+chuwuwu yeah I have the worst time keeping a straight face in the midst of insanity. I'm like the Jimmy Fallon of ComicPOP
+Ethan Marsh You are WAY better than Jimmy Fallon. "Stop being so selfish, Gene!"
NEED MORE GREEN LANTERN ON BACK ISSUES
+Brandon Hines agreed!
+Brandon Hines NEED ZERO HOUR
Yes Please do Sinestro Corps War !!! That would be epic
The grainy zoom on Ethans Necrophile Reaction Shot makes it a thousand times better
And every Halloween, Sal gets so much facial hair that even Ben's pales in comparison. Thank you guys for doing this! It made these days leading up to Halloween all the more special.
Been Re-watching a couple of the old episodes and this is still one of the funniest ones
(Sal's face in when Ben said that was just hilarious 6:15) love you guys 😂
ive gone back to re watch Sal's alan moore impression so many times now.
***pausing video to laugh out loud at Sal's A. Moore impersonation***
😂😂😂😂😂
One of my favorite OH SHIT moments in this whole event is when they resurrect the original swamp thing and have him fight the black ring version. Also I don't mind WW getting the star sapphire ring since the non-psychopathic version of WW(my version) is suppose to be loving of Earth and all those who live on it.
Omg sal's wolf form looks like that guy from space balls 😂😂
As soon as he put the ears on I remarked that he looked like Barf. Great minds think alike.
+Ethan Marsh half man, half dog.......he's his own best friend
iii
i like how he slowly turns into a werewolf piece by piece
My love of this show has forced me to create a UA-cam account just to like and follow this show in particular. It's not the only show I watch. I had actually seen everyone's pages in the group cast with Faust and all them. But this show is the one. When I first found this channel I spent a whole weekend playing video games and listening to their whole catalog. You guys keep up the great work...
Thank you!
Ethan dying(no pun intended) over Sal's sick burn of Ben about high school, is the best moment this show has ever had. Im the same way with a few people I'm still friends with from high school, hahahah.
A 15:18 when fur appears on Sal's hands, I was like "shit's about to get real" XD
I think my favorite part of Back Issues lore is when Ethan is reading the oath and nothing happens before realizing there is more of it.
33:22 And as Ben and Sal said, lo, it was so.
"I'm Italian" got a good lol outta me
"United ROYGBIV Corp" is the single greatest adlib I've heard from you guys....and "because reasons".
Best part is at 6:10.
Sal's reaction to Ben is priceless!!!
This definitely topped the long halloween episode , “little old ally moore ”, lmfao
holyshit your Alan Moore impersonation is fantastic. I love it.
I always imagined that the people that didn't came back, is because they are at peace and moved on...
I like how Dead Wolf Sal is posed so casually.
Oh but now with Rebirth it's explained that all of the continuity did happen so that's how it could have happened in New 52, but all the characters had memories taken from them so none of them really remembered the lead up to Blackest Night, but how could certain characters come back then... my head hurts lol. Love comics! And love what you guys do!
Really wish Necron actually did go "Nnn, Dooh!" every time he fails. lmao
Sal's Face at 6:18, Ive never laughed harder
Sal's face when Ben says Bill Finger "raped..." is the funniest thing ever
I rewatch these episodes all the time and always find new, awesome things in them. (Like the Black Lantern ending). Keep up the good work!
Thank you, Batfreeze!
Wonder Woman being a Star Sapphire makes perfect sense. At her best, she always makes an effort to love and understand everyone, even her enemies, no matter how evil they are. I’m not saying she wouldn’t have enough willpower to become a Green Lantern or anything like that, but still. Love suits her much better.
I swear Sal has the best Alan Moore impression. Granted his is the only impression I've ever heard, but that means it's the best i know of!😂
Ethan's reactions are priceless!!!
This was one of the best episodes yet. I didn't even notice Sal was turning throughout the video!
William shooting himself in the head is one of those images that will just stay in my mind forever. Also was kind of disappointed that Scarecrow got a yellow lantern ring and they didn't do very much with it. Still a fantastic read nonetheless and has made me more interested in the Green Lantern side of the DC universe then ever before
It was really a big missed opportunity not bringing everybody back. It was a good story and DC could be use this story for relaunch instead of universe changing reboot.
Actually Alan Moore's prophecy was about his Twilight of the Gods story but the deal didn't go throug. Instead the ideas used for this story and Kingdom Come.
Imagine if Bruce was alive at this point and they resurrected his parents; that would've been freaking insane
That body of Batman was a cloned body greated by Dakseid, MINDBLOWNED
6:52 one of my favorite comicpop bits, Ben getting kinda offended is so damn funny
The, Sal's a werewolf joke, was brilliant from beginning to end. Great show fellas.
It's great to re watch these classic episodes.
F***ity s*** realizing the William hand bill finger connection… just… wow…
Batman was used to elicit an emotional connection to the living heroes that had died and come back. that gave Nekron the opening to trun them into Black lanterns. you missed that bro. Regardless, excellent show once again!!!!! Btw when yall gonna do Empire?
Well, its a knew year. Time to binge old ComicPop...
Also thumbs up on the Halloween effects
Must be blood must be fresh
It has been one year since I stared watching Back Issues, and I gotta say, I has been a great year.
Thank you.
Here's to many more!
You know the Hawkeye Omnibus just came out by Matt Fraction and I would love a back issues on it
Sal's Alan Moore and Grant Moorison voices are so good lol
The intro for this ep is GOLD! Love you guys!
This is possibly the best back issues I have ever seen...all the way to the end this was awesome!
Blackest Night proved how much DC was in disarray. Look how many of DC top-tier characters were death at the time this event occurred.
The black rings flying from black hands mouth reminds me of Ghost riders Locusts swarm
It's funny I finish a book then want to talk about it . If I can't find anyone to chat about it , I watch back issues lol .
RandmVision Yeah, I feel the same way about a lot of reaction videos and reviews. It's always interesting to see other people's perspectives and what they point out that you've missed. These Back Issues videos are quickly becoming one of my new favorite things.
Sal: Warewolf by Afternoon!
I haven't been back to this episode in like 5 years, I just re-read Blackest Night enjoyed it so much and then thought of this great episode. Sal's expression at 6:17 is one of my favorite moments ever for Comic Pop this episode is just pure gold.
Well, technically the original Black Hand wasn't a weirdo necrophiliac dude, that all came after Infinite Crisis. Originally he was just a dude from a nice, well respected family. He didn't like them, so he became a criminal. He had this device that could sap the energy from things. While initially just used to take the residual energy from GL's ring, the writers got more creative, like when he took the energy that protected Flash's body from his own speed. He also talked to the readers sometimes. Other than that, he was just a fun villain. Nowadays I hate him, but I love the classic stories.
I thought Scarecrow as a Yellow Lantern was very cool. Scarecrow was always a cool character and it fits perfectly....
Sal's face when Ben says the word rape is priceless!!
23:20 I want the term for superheros and villains in the dc universe with stretching powers to be elongated folk. like that's their speedster.
I love Sal's Alan Moore impression.
6:16 ... kind of fitting but that reaction
Omg i love the Allan Moore impersonations. its it fucking fantastic.
that ending is fantastic.
Damn, I thought they were just gonna hit up Rob and have him explain comics after killing Sal...
I love this series! I noticed the werewolf thing at about 14 minutes where the hands change but only just now realized that the bandage from the beginning was because of the werewolf bite. :)
I really like the line "It's because I'm Italian" that was awesome. I don't know why I liked the cheesiness as much as I did but I did so yea, well done.
you guys are just too cool I'm new to your channel but you guys are awesome and that Allan Moore impression I just love it...lol
+branco marolia Thank you, Branco!
30:30 I love the look on Ben's face. It looks like he had never heard that before, but didn't want to look dumb by asking about it or calling BS. (No hate, just an observation I made on my 3rd time rewatching this episode)
I can't believe you guys are doing Blackest Night on back issues. It is my favorite comic event I have ever read. Funny thing is back in college my friends and I went to a small con. One of the free things I pick up while there was a preview comic that had all the lantern corps in it. I was so fascinated by them I researched Green Lantern comics which lead to this book and my love of Green Lantern and Geoff Johns.
Brightest Day Justice League Generation Lost was a great series imo dealing with Maxwell Lords resurrection. I remember also enjoying Brightest Day The Flash!
Sorry I haven't watched any of your videos in a while but I'm back! Man I love Back Issues.
Welcome back!
I hope they mention the whole resurrection thing next week. I hate it in comics when they don't address previous continuity.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA This might've been the best Back Issues episode ever..! Especially that ending..! But surely once Sal is resurrected, he'll need a White Lantern to fix him after..?
No Alan Moore this year for Halloween but we get Sal turning into Barfolomew from Space Balls.
I think Ralph and Sue didnt come back because their spirits didn't want to. I dont remember what comic I read it in, but I'm almost certain at one point someone said "Sue and Ralph were content being together in the afterlife" or something.
Well Sal's a zombie werewolf this is going to make the weekly pull more interesting.
For the Batman clones, in the Batman and Robin comic before this they say that the Batman clones couldn't handle his experiences and went insane.
From right to left...Ben has the most facial hair, then sal, and finally Ethan with the least. Please tell me I'm not the only one to notice this.
Why do stretchy people always date people named sue
Yes! I have been dying for you guys to do Green Lantern books!
You know it would be cool if the black lantern rings were powered by the anti-life equation.
I'm pretty certain that _"Bruce Wayne"_ was used because every superhero has a strong emotional connection to Batman, therefore making them vulnerable to the manipulations Nekkron is causing to the Emotional Spectrum....
Sal, your impressions are freaking incredible. It's rare that a person can make just about any comic fun.
Loved the video but being a huge Green Lantern fan, you didn't mention Guy or John at all and only had one mention of Kyle. They are pretty key to the story. I know most of it takes place in GL: Blackest Night but I think the rest of the Lanterns of 2814 are important enough to get noticed.
If the resurrected-werewolf-Sal Black Lantern doesn't work out, Tiffany could always take over hosting Back Issues. Also, where's WerePage?! Happy Halloween guys!
only the shrillest of black metal screams can produce black lantern rings
Hilarious reactions at 5:42, 6:17 & 11:08 😂
In the list of Lantern Batman you didn't mention Batman as a White Lantern (for one panel) in Brightest Day ^^
And this back issue was Aweeeesome :D
amazing episode 10/10. Much spook.
+Riley Roden very thanks
Yet another golden opportunity, like Secret Invasion, to unabashedly retcon character deaths. Sorry, Dibnys.
Bought trade count since I started watching Back Issues: 37
