We lost the external audio, so we had to use the onboard audio from the camera. We did clean it up, but it's still the external mic instead of the lapel mics we normally use. Hope it's forgivable!
I'll never forget in Young Justice Season 3 when Lobo returns to Earth where his pinky finger got cut off. He found a baby Lobo start growing from it and immediately and viciously killed it
“You know me, I’m Tempus Fuginaut and it’s my duty to please that booty in the dark multiverse” - Sal 2020 🤣 thank you Sal for making my day so much better!!
Uncle Ben once said “with great power comes great responsibility”, and that means you can’t stop this series until you AT LEAST...do the Crisis one. It’s the only way.
I was waiting for you guys to get to the end with the Lobo creatures and Ben pretty much defines my reaction to that part. The whole universe is a biker gang.
Never been this Early before!! Lobo is an Underrated and Badass Character 😎🔥👍🏾 The Main Man has the Strength of Superman and the Badass nature of Wolverine = One of the Best Fraggin Characters🖤💪🏾💪🏾 I hope you guys Talk About the Batman that Frags🖤🖤
I love Tales from the Dark Multiverse, but there aren’t nearly enough books. Idea for a limited ComicPOP series: take a random event and spin it into a hypothetical book. Identity Crisis but Jean Loring kills all the hero’s family. Flashpoint if Barry Allen didn’t show up Darkseid War but the JL kept their god powers.
Literally do all of these, they are such a fun and unique concept, all ripe for comedy gold. PLEASE do the Hush story at some point. Both good and ridiculous.
Especially if the writers of each tale actually recap what happened in the universe we know correctly, unlike the Blackest Night installment. Most inaccurate in the most pivotal moment. It's in fact the first thing I would have mentioned if I did videos talking about this kind of thing.
Well I'm thankful for consistently great and entertaining content here at ComicPop! Even if I'm not currently reading comics, I'm always happy to listen in on Sal's and everyone's conversations. Even through nonsensical stories like these, I get some joy in just hearing their takes on it. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday!
Are there really 2 great stories out of the 5 Tales from the Dark Multiverse of the first collection? I would say the Death of Superman is the best of the bunch by far and the only one, but Sal does a great job explaining these stories.
oh sal, every day at work is a nightmare recently. its been so crazy, busy, exhausting. I've lost 25 pounds in almost one month. without trying. but i love watching this show. i love these tales from the dark multiverse. if you ever do another one i bet Ethan would have a field day with Infinite Crisis. and how bout that Loki show!? pretty dope. alright i'm gonna get coffee to go with comic pop. all peace sal, gang, and POPulation
I stopped reading comics long ago but these Tales of the Dark Multiverse stories are short and easy enough to get through. I can’t wait to see more episodes on the other ones!
Its true, I didn't read this one. This channel has been doing so much new stuff that I've actually had to postpone watching a lot of the videos because I want to read the comics first (still need to read Three Jokers). In this case, I think it was probably more fun to watch the discussion video than read the actual comic.
Something vastly important in a weird story already...that's what I'm about to mention and I'm kind of shocked that Sal & co. (especially Sal) didn't notice this. But when, in this dark Multiverse comic, the writer Tim Seeley is recapping what happened in the regular universe's Blackest Night event, he made a big boner mistake. A pivotal fulcrum-type mistake. What is kind of humorous is that the art recapping it was actually accurate but a couple of the text blocks were very wrong at a critical point. Sal tells us here in video that in the recap that what originally happened is Sinestro conquerors his fears or blah blah blah and then he gives the White Ring to others because he knows he needs help. That's not true. The book got it wrong. I was reading this Dark book and I'm like uhhhhh that's not what I remember happening so I went back and looked at my hardcover for that event I was like okay yeah I'm totally right. What actually happened in the original was that Thaal Sinestro received the white ring and had access to the embodiment of life, so he battled Nekron. But it's not like he merely handed the ring off to other people, cuz there's no reason he physically could have because TS was cut in half from head to toe by Nekron's scythe. So yeah while Thaal was quivering on the floor being cut in half for the next two pages before he was reconstituted, Hal Jordan took charge and took the White Ring of Life. Hal was the one who broke the Death's control of the heroes that were only partially Black Lanterns (like Wondy and Supes), imbuing them with a white energy temporarily and Hal's the one that reconstituted Sinestro at the same time into full form again and no longer dead. There was absolutely no Sinestro giving the ring to anyone in the original history and the main reason he came to the realization of needing help is that he was cut in half and other people took that choice from him. So I guess, in this weird effed-up Dark Multiverse story, Sinestro never got cut in half with Nekron's scythe, that's the only thing I can presume. Tim Seeley retold the original history poorly at the beginning of this book in the recap. Now some fools might be saying, and yes fools they be, that the recap we hear about at the beginning of the book was just the recap in a different universe or in that dark universe or whatever, but no-- in fact hell know LOL-- especially since they also say in the recap that it's a recap of the universe _we know_ as readers. I rest my case. I brought this to the attention of a few people and only a couple tried to argue it but they eventually realized what I was saying when they went back and look at it themselves. So yeah, I have no idea what was going through the mind of the writer, cuz that's kind of a big pivotal moment to get wrong. Maybe they figured it had been 10 years and people forgot. LOL
Regarding inks and colors. If you have a slow pencil artist, you can make up for lost time by having inkers and colorists who only have to work on 10 pages instead of 40. Kinda similar to manga artists having a team of interns to flesh out backgrounds.
I will say this. These Dark Multiverse stories are a blast. Some of them are stupid, but they’re entertaining, even this one. I wonder if you’ll do the Infinite Crisis one. That would be hilarious.
But if it's all from Lobo and they cannot die..then how did they evolve?..what do the Loborats eat? I really love these Dark Multiverse episodes and the bonkers plots.
Hey everyone if you enjoy these stories, and want to support DC's dark What Ifs, they are doing another round of them right now, and much like this first batch are not really getting a lot of advertisement from DC. The Hush one was pretty good and I suggest checking it out. I personally love this series and would love to see them get enough support to keep doing them.
So from the last stories and this one the dark multiverse stories are basically what happens if the hero's didn't win X story. Which sounds like it can be cool.
It's important to make the distinction that Sinestro becomes half Black and half White and not Grey, because there is a fan creation of the Grey Lanterns. They are the most powerful corp, but also their emotion is Apathy, so they never bother to get out of bed to show up to anything.
That ending really reminds me of a plot point from The Incal where the main character goes back to the planet where he'd had sex with the woman and realized everyone there was horrible and shitty and it dawned on him the entire population was versions of him.
We lost the external audio, so we had to use the onboard audio from the camera. We did clean it up, but it's still the external mic instead of the lapel mics we normally use. Hope it's forgivable!
I forgive u ComicPOP!
It's fine it's actually kinda cool with the random small echos are very twisted almost like the Dark Multiverse
I was going to ask why it sounded different still not bad audio for a camera
as someone else said, must be a hell of a camera to have that decent on board audio.
Forgiven.
*sees Mister Miracle snap Dove's neck*
*shakes head*
Damn Space Madness. Strikes again.
like a Ren & Stimpy episode
Sal’s deep sigh when he has to explain dumb shit is what I live for.
Agreed. I find myself doing that exact same sigh when I have to explain 60 years of political science to people who only pay attention every 4 years.
@@lukang3374 the work is tedious and frustrating but greatly appreciated when you find the one person who actually listens
"Wait, didn't he die?"
"No, that was a clone."
"There was a clone?"
*Sigh*
"Hey, comics are dumb.
But I love them. "
This is what I hear.
That's it, that's the show
I'll never forget in Young Justice Season 3 when Lobo returns to Earth where his pinky finger got cut off. He found a baby Lobo start growing from it and immediately and viciously killed it
Damn so close to Slowbo
What a mean reference to the YJ comics I loved L’il Lobo/Slo-bo! 😭
@@FloorTankMain no
and that finger slowly rotting during the credits every other episode or so until that happens ahahahha

Uncle Ben once said “with great power comes great responsibility”, and that means you can’t stop this series until you AT LEAST...do the Crisis one. It’s the only way.
You can feel the love Sal has for comics, and he's frustration for the industry.
Well I feel that occasionally that the point you make is where he stands, but I mostly feel that he always thinks he's right for the most part.
23:46 - Little did Sal know, he just stumbled into Dragon Ball's multiverse/timeline shenanigans.
*shudders in Zamasu*
So this is how it works?
Well Yes but actually No...
TLDR: Sinestro is forced to reboot the universe into the embodiment of the 90s.
"The IcyHot of the superhero teamage." Didn't know I needed this descriptor of Hawk and Dove, but I'm glad it exists now.
I was waiting for you guys to get to the end with the Lobo creatures and Ben pretty much defines my reaction to that part. The whole universe is a biker gang.
This is literally the funniest episode I’ve seen in ages. Literal laugh out loud moments.
“How about a Lobo story?”
“um… ok?”
“It’s Tales From the Dark Multiverse.”
“LET’S GOOOOO”
Ben: "A Gray Lantern"
Me: *wheezes*
If Lobo is saving the day then indeed is the Blackest Night. 😂
Indeed the Dark Multiverse 😂
Think we were better off with the black lantern universe.
Lobo saving the universe is actually freaking insane but also really funny 😄
I love all these multiverse / elsewords / what if type stories
Never been this Early before!! Lobo is an Underrated and Badass Character 😎🔥👍🏾 The Main Man has the Strength of Superman and the Badass nature of Wolverine = One of the Best Fraggin Characters🖤💪🏾💪🏾 I hope you guys Talk About the Batman that Frags🖤🖤

Flashpoint if Barry Allen didn’t show up
Darkseid War but the JL kept their god powers.
Well a Flashpoint one is coming out and was delayed to December 9th where Barry Allen fails and the Reverse Flash wins.
4:11 This physical reaction is why I live to see Ben on the couch! Lmao! Put it on a T shirt!

That's kind of cool you spelled the guy's name phonetically
@@jasonpye4649 huh ur right
i just looked it up and its "Tempus Fuginaut"
@@SergeantPancake indeed ☺
“I’m Tempus Fugenaut and it’s my duty to please that booty in the dark multiverse”
You'd think, using Lobo as the template, the whole universe would be populated by nothing but wolves.
Ha! Or maybe a whole universe populated by nothing but undead played by Tor Johnson
Literally do all of these, they are such a fun and unique concept, all ripe for comedy gold.
PLEASE do the Hush story at some point. Both good and ridiculous.
I feel like any Tempus Fuginaut popularity must come from comicpop watchers. Haha
3:31 this is the greatest moment of Back Issues.
Just started. But the earths with Greek symbols is done in the Wrong Earth series. Which I would LOVE for them to look at.
Did you mean Greek letters, cuz I reckon you did. 👍
Man these tales from the Multiverse episodes are some of my favorites🔥
Before you know it we're going to get earth prime to the second power (earth prime^2) where everything is DOUBLE the intensity.
Yes. Yes we do want more Dark Multiverse.
Especially if the writers of each tale actually recap what happened in the universe we know correctly, unlike the Blackest Night installment. Most inaccurate in the most pivotal moment. It's in fact the first thing I would have mentioned if I did videos talking about this kind of thing.
I can’t wait to see you guys cover the Infinite Crisis one!
42:49 my sentiments exactly lol

Of the first batch of Tales from the Dark Multiverse this is the only where you could say good wins.
I love back issues I can't give enough credit to the comic pop team for spending there time for our entertainment I love all these back issues
2 minutes in and im already laughing. Well done guys
Recently found your channel and I’m loving it! Have you ever done a Back Issues on Batman: War Drums, War Games, and War Crimes?
Brings us more. Also Lobo's always been able to make lobo clones.
The Main Man is the hero DC needs. He's saving the Dark Multiverse in this book and the regular universe in Death Metal.
Jason Mamoa should've been Lobo.... with no amber turd like at all.
Every time I see A notification form you guys it my day gets so much better thank you

I really love this tale of the Dark multiverse, since blackest night was my 1st comic book
If the blackest night event back in 2009 was your first entry into Comics, then you must know it pretty well.
oh sal, every day at work is a nightmare recently. its been so crazy, busy, exhausting. I've lost 25 pounds in almost one month. without trying. but i love watching this show. i love these tales from the dark multiverse. if you ever do another one i bet Ethan would have a field day with Infinite Crisis. and how bout that Loki show!? pretty dope. alright i'm gonna get coffee to go with comic pop. all peace sal, gang, and POPulation
I’m so happy you did this one!!!
Not really a comic fan but it is always interesting hearing both the fun and stupid stuff that happens in them
I stopped reading comics long ago but these Tales of the Dark Multiverse stories are short and easy enough to get through. I can’t wait to see more episodes on the other ones!
Holy s***! Perfect timing! I read this last night on dc universe! Love you guys!

29:17 Death Metal says otherwise.
I really liked this one. Probably my fav dark one you have done. Thanks from overnight shift in australia.
loving the shirt sal.
oh and more lobo please :)
YESSSSS!!!! DARK MULTIVERSE BLACKEST KNIGHT!!!! What a great thing to wake up to
I read all the dc what if’s (tales from the dark multiverse) when they came out except Judas Contract and Blackest Night’s was the best in my opinion.
I am thankful for even been able to watch it

Fantastic episode, more Tales from Dark Multiverse please
I just read the first DC Metal. It was better than I thought it would be. Like a fun popcorn movie
I’m newly single! This really made my day thanks guys! I love the work and care you put into every video, keep up all the amazing content guys!
Excellent! I've been looking forward to this one for a while!
Tempus swiped hard left and blocked this reality
Just Cool. I read all of these and enjoyed em. 13:01 yay the colours running Ben gag!
Yet another cosmic story ends with a face full of Lobo
Hell yes been waiting for this!
I loved this episode. Can you do Final Crisis Tales from the Dark Multiverse next? Also Happy Thanksgiving!
Ethan predicts Earth Omega in Infinite Frontier
I'm hoping you guys do the Dark Multiverse Hush story sometime in the future
I love these stories and would definitely be up for more of these videos. Part of me would like you to use the last 3 for GB&U.
I've been looking forward to this.
42:07
Was the person who left this comic on the ground also Tempest Fuginaut?
I feel the need to point out that the multiple lobos thing has happened before.
I'd love to see Ethan and Bens reactions to Kid Lobo from Young Justice! Great episode as usual!
Another great episode
more tales of the dark multiverse, yaaaaay!
I’ve been waiting for this one
If they do that Judas Contract one, I’m gonna keel over
Perfect timing! This will be just the thing to watch tomorrow after the big meal. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
I've genuinely never clicked a notification SO FAST !!!
(Other Dark Multiverse Episodes:) Oh no! That's so tragic! :'(

I cannot wait for them to do Judas contract. That's my favorite of the dark multiverse stories.
My favorites from this series were Death of Superman and Infinite Crisis.
It should have needed sinestro to be the template because reality is a balance of life and death.
Lobo would be the one he picks for sure
10:50 A walking monument to all our sins?
But if it's all from Lobo and they cannot die..then how did they evolve?..what do the Loborats eat? I really love these Dark Multiverse episodes and the bonkers plots.
Lobo the giga chad here to save your ass once again.
Lol I really liked this one because it was ridiculous. The Mister Miracle part was stupid I admit. But love these dark multiverse episodes!
Any chance of doing Flash Forward? It also has your favorite, Tempus Fuginaut.
