"We will definitely do 52!"
nearly a decade later...
Have you seen it yet?
"Speedforce. I ain't gotta explain shit."
In the thumbnail Ben is the only one that's menacing, Sal is like "Yep it's me", and Ethan is trying to steal his own wallet.
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night only to find Ben with that face at the foot of your bed.
Lmao
"We're totally going to do 52"
three years later...HEY WAIT A MINUTE!!
Year 2020
Still no 52
Currently 2021! 5 years and counting!
Remember w.w. hulk you are your own worst enemy.
Almost 2022! only 30 more years!
already 22, still no 52.
I love how much Batman loves Dick Grayson.
vigorlilover He's Batman's favorite kid, and all his other kids know it.
@@caitlinbrewer4843 Yeah, which is why it sucks so much that Dick often takes a back seat to Damion in a lot of stories.
Man, if Superboy Prime and Alexander Luthor thought that the DC universe back then sucked, they would have thrown a fit if they saw the DC universe now.
He just missed red hood. And then he was in space. I don't think they've ever teamed up or fought.
*Wonder Woman snaps Maxwell Lorde's neck*
Superman: WHAT THE FUCK!
Batman: NOOOOO!!!
Wonder Woman: Grow up! *blows raspberry* DC Universe! WOOOSH!!!
10:20
For anyone who needs a timestamp 3 years later
"So basically DC gives up a lot." Well at least Ethan understands the reasoning behind the DC You :P
*In other news:* Sal is about to lose his shit over all these comments about Maxwell Lord's psychic powers.
Even though "Crisis" is now synonymous with huge reality altering events in the DCU it was originally used for crossover events between Earth One and Earth Two, in particular involving team-ups between the Justice League and its Earth 2 counterpart, the Justice Society. These "Crises" happened roughly once a year from the mid sixties to the early 80s. The majority of these team-ups used the word "Crisis" in the Title, which Crisis on Infinite Earths then borrowed because it too involved interactions between multiple universes.
I thought the reason Batman considered killing Alex Luthor was because Luthor seriously injured Nightwing.
He thought that Nightwing was Dead. But he survived.
I loved the part where Sal says "the new 52 is a mistake."
Because it is just so damn true
They should have thrown a superboy prime in the flash
@@jonathano503 If you like the new 52, man. that's good on you. I personally hated it. and not shortly after i stopped reading DC comics all together because i didn't like the direction the stories were going.
That ginger cat at 34:27 was a goddamn ninja
"Is it a room or is it a state of being" HAHAHAHA gets me every time
Your discussion of Diana killing Max leaves out his psychic powers and that he was literally contorting Superman who Diana just had a big fight with.
When something doesn't go my way, I often ask myself 'What Would Superman Prime Do?' It often ends with a big 'J' being written on my chest. It's a weird process.
Great episode guys! Thanks for being awesome. I never read this series, and likely wouldn't have gone back to read it anytime soon, so it's awesome to have a quality video to watch about it. I feel just like Ethan and Ben while listening to Sal. ;]
lol the cat in the background 34 minutes in
Best part
I refer to parts of my life as post and pre-crisis
good stuff
Superboy prime so crazy
poor lex wiped off by joker of all ppl
good fight
poor earth 2 ppl seeing the new world but realizing their mistakes too
I decided to get Final Crisis after this......I will pay you guys to try to explain what the hell happens in that book, it makes less sense than my Physics 101 summer course
I read all of these stories as they were hitting the shelves, but I LOVE Sal's re-tellings of them. Sal is naturally funny, he doesn't even have to try.
I wish infinite crisis had an infinite episode. I just can't get enough. I've probably seen every back issues (aside from the most recent ones) at least three times.
I lost all my concentration on the talk when the cat just casually walked right in the background lol! Like everything just got derailed when that sweetheart just wandered in. Just caught me so off guard lol! Anyways thanks for making these videos. I am now a fan of this channel and am enjoying learning a lot from Back Issues.
+AixQtLupet Thank you!
Sal, your Wonder Woman double deuce salute dialog ranks #3 in my fave Back Issues moments. #2 Goddamn Batman, #1 Death of Superman Writers Corps Escalation
Lmao. I laughed so hard at the end when you were talking about batman taking dick and Tim to go train and say they fucked it up and showed a pic of Damian
It would be AWESOME if you guys do 52 soon
i wish they would!
9:17 great reaction by Ben and Ethan lol
I’m still waiting for a back issues on *52* Sal!
This is the first episode of your I ever watched. About 4 years ago. Oftentimes, I get this nostalgia to watch it again.
52 please! Back issues has been great. I'm watching these as I read through DC events. Thanks!!!
In regards to Superman being able to awaken Powergirl's earth-2 memories, its like Johns saw this and fixed it in Rebirth
This is my go to video whenever my mind gets melted with DC's confusing timeline-changing events.
This sums up everything perfectly since Crisis on Infinite Earths up until recent events.
Man, I loved Zero Hour. Of course it helped that Kyle Rayner/Green Lantern was the reason I was reading DC, and I really enjoyed it as a sequel to Emerald Twilight.
"I didn't eat or drink or go to the bathroom it was really weird" Superman doesn't need to do these things anyway XD
Thanks Sal I read pretty much all the Goeff Johns GL run and I wanted to know why Superboy Prime was so powerful, was such a threat to everybody.
Cracked up over the cat and Ben way more than I should have
When I first started watching this show I thought it was nuts that a video could be close to an hour long, but now I find myself way more excited when they are an hour long.
"Always let the Joker play. Who's stupid now?"
I loved re watching this. The thumbnail is hilarious I don't think I looked at it last time lol.
The Omac Project , Villians United , Day of Vegeance and Ran - Thanagar war were all great. Good review.
@ComicPop First off, liked this episode. Fun stuff even though obviously things were left out. If anybody is curious about the "Earth 2" universe though, thought I'd clarify. The "history" of that universe before New 52 (which pretty much created an entirely different multiverse if you don't pay a lot of attention to Convergence) includes most of the Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman stories from their first publication to the early 1960s (more or less) As well as the first versions of Green Lantern (who isn't a space cop but has a magic ring and purple cape) The Flash (who has a helmet and got powers from hard water vapor) Power Girl (think older, more mature stronger Supergirl) The Atom (can't shrink, just a short dude with a strong punch) Hawkman (not an alien cop, is reincarnated and uses magic egyptian metal) and has all the kind of campy Silver Age side characters like Krypto, Beppo the Monkey, the Bat-mite, Mr. Mxypltyk and the really campy versions of the villains. The super team is The Justice Society and also includes fun rando characters like Hourman and Dr. Midnite as well as the silly golden age characters that never got into the public mindset. This is a universe where Superman has situational telekinesis, helper robot versions of himself, superventriloquism (he can throw his voice from the void of space), superspeed reading, fires mini clone versions of himself from his hands, and ridiculous superstrength, as well as no doubt weird single issue things nobody kept track of,. Also because that universe started out in the 1940s and wasn't "destroyed/absorbed" until 1986 many of its heroes had children that themselves became superheroes and had titles for those heroes, Also older Batman becomes Commissioner of Gotham marries Catwoman and has a daughter, Helena Wayne, the first and current Huntress, before dying fighting one last random magic semi-sorcerous thief. Superman becomes chief editor of the Daily Planet is happily married to Lois before Crisis on Infinite happens. Wonder Woman marries Steve Trevor and also has a superhero daughter I can't remember the name of. Every hero but the Big Three somehow got folded into the main dc with minor changes following the first Crisis. The Earth 2 heroes actually fought Hitler and Nazis but couldn't go to Europe to beat him because he had the Spear of Destiny (which in that universe can mind control any superpowered characters in a certain radius). Weird Stuff huh? All that said, the rebooted version New 52 created is a really good comic (Called : Earth 2 and Earth 2: Society) notwithstanding some of what they did with it in Convergence and I recommend it because it made interesting versions of the Golden Age characters and isnt as important to maintain continuity so its a universe wheres Supes, orig Batman, and Wonder Woman were all killed saving the World from Darkseid. Super long, super nerdy post, hope somebody curious benefits from it. Nice Job Comic pop gang!
Ethan wondered why Earth 2 Superman looks old....its because that Superman started fighting crime in 1938 and went into the "paradise dimension" in 1986. he had gray temples on Earth 2 even before Crisis. Whereas Post-Crisis Superman (the "main" one in this story) basically took up the mantle in the Early 1980s (that was the very first attempt to "modernize and retcon" comics and in comic continuity).
@@ianlaue6283 Not exactly. They may not have had events for it but DC did retcon their own history long before this with the original Flash-Jay Garrick and Green Lantern -Alan Scott giving way to Barry Allen and Hal Jordan,etc. And the latter's origins were more sci-fi based stories as DC had brought in those types of writers. When older fans asked about the originals they decided to make an Earth 2 for them and the original super-hero team,the JSA. There's more ,of course,but you get the gist.
Brian Adkins I thought the creation of Earth 2 was the retcon. Pretty sure "Flash of two worlds" was the first in comics reference to Jay Garrick apart from Barry reading a Flash comic book in his origin story before being struck by lightning
@@ianlaue6283 Yeah,that's probably it. Thanks!
Thanx, that cleared up some things.
Hearing Sal mention guyver and Ben saying that blue beetle looking like him is cool warmed my heart
BEST EPISODE EVER!!!!! Every BACK ISSUES should be over an hour long!
Yes, a 1 hour long Back issues can't wait!
What about how Superboy Prime punches reality so hard it brings Jason Todd back to life? Kinda thought you'd mention that.
In what way is it relevant to the overall story of Infinite Crisis? It's a neat tidbit; something that we've said so often on this channel, and something so ubiquitous with the fan community even you made reference to it. So it was left out. Or maybe we talked about it for fifteen minutes and cut it out of the two hour discussion because people don't watch two hour long videos about comics. It could be any number of reasons, honestly.
@@comicpop
Fair enough. Just found this channel yesterday and already love it.
Welcome! We had a feeling. You'll see Superboy reality punch references in all sorts of random episodes. Catch the Red Hood episode, for instance!
@@comicpop
Hello! 52, please? :3
LOL Mark Hamill was in Guyver... totally underrated classic and needing an reboot. The Anime was cool too.
Sal, I just read IDWs "All Hail Megatron". Please do that for back issues, I don't know exactly but I imagine Ben and Ethan grew up with Transformers and this would be incredible to watch them react to.
I know 6 years later but Geoff Johns did not write identity crisis, Brad Meltzer did.
that booster gold story was really cool in 52. if not absolutely mind boggling convoluted.
everyone knows it takes Pulitzer award winning writing to make you remember, a forgotten life.
+ComicPOP! Infinite crisis is probably my favorite DC story. Thanks for really nice episode
These videos are awesome, it really helps me to actually understand what is happening in DC!
finally doing infinite crisis
Did Ben roll his eyes? I've seen this episode at least twice and I didn't notice, I might be wrong lol
Thanks you guys just made shining my ROTC shoes bearable and actually a little fun
Yesssss finally a hour of back issues lol
I love seeing the part were clearly Nightwing was going to die but they changed it and you guys should of read both the issues and the trade because some the dialogue was re written and it added four more pages to the end in the collected editions of the story.
Holy crap there is alot going on in this one. When they said crisis they weren't kidding. Awesome episode guys.
..Well if you came here to learn, you haven't met Ben. As always Excelsior.
3:34 Been spending most our living in a bullshit paradise.
that wonderwoman part is amazing LOLOLOL
Still. Can. Not. WAIT. For. 52!!!
I so want a Back Issues on the OMAC Project now.
I really feel like this is the best Back Issues yet. I can't wait till you guys do Crisis on Infinite Earths. Its gonna be an confusing awesome mess!
I come in from a night out and I feel down and this is here and all of a sudden things don't seem so bad, and I can't thank all of you at ComicPop enough
Please add more cat in future back issues
Another good back issues. thanks guys. cant wait for 52.
Summary of this event
"A lot of shit happened"
yesssssss a new back issues
Save the Cat from retroactive continuity!
I am sooo ready for this! Infinite Crisis how I love thee for your crazy dc-ness!
Reality-Altering Punches? check!
Geoff Jones' gore fetish? check!
Classic Joker/lex team up? Damn right, check!
Batman pwning Superman? well you get the gist.
let's enjoy the show!
Geoff Jones Gore fetish?
Zakaria Dalel he sure likes to mutilate characters! It's a slight exaggeration though
"Basically DC gives up a lot." Ethan
Where in IC dos they say that the room was a paradise? It was my understanding that it was like a hole in between dimensions that they got stuck in and it was a prison. Kind of like the Phantom Zone. Half the reason Superboy-Prime was driven insane...
10:28 needs to be a gif/meme immediately!
Could you do "Sinestro Corps Wars". It's a really cool story and kind of a sequel to Infinite Crisis.
there's something I don't get, barry was the pre crisis flash, and everyone in the post crisis world lost memory of the pre crisis world due to the retcon, hence why no one recognized superboy prime, but wally became flash to honor barry, and the post crisis world is a separate continuity to the pre crisis, so how did barryvand wally know each other and why was barry still dead in the post crisis world and not retconned?
Explanation is a bit silly but everything explained last two issues in Crisis on Infinite Earths. History is altered and duplicate heroes erased in history like Kal-L and Superboy-prime. After last fight heroes completely forget their existence because everybody's memory altered. Everybody remember Crisis but nobody remember details.
sal, ben,and rob should make an episode of back issues together you guys are funny on the podcasts im sure it would be amazing
back issues is one guy who loves comics, explaining a story to 2 guys who aren't well versed in comics. it wouldn't be a back issues if they all knew the story.
+ITCHY GINGI That'd be fun! Rob was on an episode back when we did Kraven's Last Hunt!
I'm gonna dig Infinite Crisis and 52 out of my closet to re-read them again. Thanksw, guys.
OMG THE DAMIEN WAYNE PART OMGGGG I DIED
Still my favorite Crisis
OMG I love the "back that shit up"hand gesture Ethan makes when Sal brings up Psycho Pirate!
Love that cat.
Super boy punching a hole in the fabric of reality is a macguffin of Bendis-ian proportions that I’m sure Brian Michael Bendis goes “Why didn’t I come with that one ?”
YES YES YES!!!
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BREATHE!!!!!
3:30 I should not be laughing this hard.
24:57 Favorite moment
I didn't even finish the video before I liked it
@27:00 my favorite part of the video
Wonder Woman knows that, no matter the situation or enemy: always go for the neck.
This is my favorite dc story
Reality just needed a good punch in the face.
Are Flashpoint and Convergence considered to be a "crisis", even though the word isn't in the title?
+Gerald Ferguson They really should be.
+ComicPOP I jokingly call them Flashpoint Crisis, Convergence Crisis, and Now Crisis Rebirth.
+Yung Milkshake No.
Sal considers Flashpoint to be a Crisis and for Convergence to be a Crisis-Fixer
Now that Comic Pop is on 80 I wonder what their going to do for episode 100
A great episode! Thanks for the great mood you left me in.
epic wonder woman moment and great to see Ethan...
p.s. an hour long episode? YES!!
34:36 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
When you said Crisis on Infinite Earth's is dense, I immediately thought back to when I borrowed a friend's trade a few years ago and it was thicker and any textbook I ever had.
"EVERYTHING WAS BETTER ON MY EARTH!!!"
YES! I wonder if this is the issue I mailed in to them.
Bart Allen is my favorite speedster I hope they give him a resurgence he's the best , written kinda like a Spiderman version of flash IMO like how he's always joking
