This is probably one of my favorite episodes. Just a great conversation between a few friends. No Frank Miller, Or Morrisons, or Weadonisms. They're all great anyway.
*Connecticon* sounds like the name of a Transformer in charge of the Decepticon's communication network while Soundwave is busy keeping Megatron's plans from falling apart.
Omg!! I remember watching this episode when it was kinda new and dismissing the Keenan guy in Sal's story about New York ComicCon. Now we've seen him! He's real lol.
A great classic episode. If you weren't gonna watch the whole thing go to the con queue cutting "con-versation" at 15:30 - just impecable story telling from Sal and wonderful responses from Ben and Ethan. You could refeature it as a clip on its own or something!
The other story was at the second Special Edition. I was waiting to meet Scott Snyder to tell him how much I enjoyed his prose book Voodoo Heart. There were these guys ahead of me with carts full of comics so I knew where this was going. The staff went down the line telling everyone there was a limit of three books to get signed because he has a panel afterwards. The guys ahead of me got mad, telling the guy the limit wasn’t fair and this was messing with their livelihood. Some guy in the back of the line had enough and said “Get a real fucking job, losers!” The line laughed and applauded. They didn’t say anything after that
I’ve had the experience of being stuck behind the one asshole who brings a stack of comics for one person to sign. It was 2002 at a comic convention in Madison Square Garden and I was on the line to meet Jim Aparo. The guy ahead of me plopped this huge stack of comics in front of the guy and started passing them to him. No hello, no small talk, just “make sure to sign it here”, pointing to a spot on the cover. Didn’t even say thank you. When it was my turn, Aparo asked if he could have a few minutes to rest his hand. He was older at this point. So I used that time to talk to him, which was great, and when he was ready he signed my stuff. That whole experience is why I make sure to say thank you and get stuff signed to me so they know I’m not some eBayer.
I had a booth in 2012 at the NYCC selling my book. For every sale i offered a pot brownie or cookie, and of course a beer ( You can not imagine the return customers for shirts and hats hehe). We were playing old Shaw brothers kung fu movies on a big screen. Maybe we met? Awesome show, loved the stories!
We will never do that. I'd rather just take a photo on the con floor. I mean, you're there, right? It's obvious you're at a convention. Why hide it behind a gross, blue curtain?
38:06 I'd do that... because I really like the show and you guys make me laugh *really* hard. even on my worst days, u can always count on Sal, Ethan and Ben to cheer me up :)
ive been blessed to have been able to attened SDCC since 1994 (its in my backyard). Seen it grow to the behemoth it has become. it gets crapped on now because its become "too Hollywood" but there is still a ton of comic related stuff to see.
first time watching these guys and i have been google and youtube for a long time so i have smosh games from 2012-2019 and ive seen themediacows from 2011-2016 and i have seen cinemasscre from 2012-NOW and ive the classic pivot youtube star hopdiddy but ComicPop is brand new channel for me and i am binge watching the back issues the marvel no prize is already hilarious from the first back issues videoi am now on this and have finished watching civil war back issues soon i be done binge watching
Mark Hamill is charging $200 at Fan Expo Canada this year. he's charging a full $100 more than Stan Lee who is coming to Canada for his final time. Also $200 for a photo.
Thinking about it, I think the only thing I'd realistically pay money (like $50 or less) to get signed is my Spider-Man: Blue trade and have it signed by Tim Sale or Jeph Loeb. I doubt I'd ever get the thing signed though, because I'd look at the fee and go "Yeah, but money though".
Can't lie, I probably would've paid that hunnid lmao. I mean man...Mark Hamill lol. Probably would've just been Beef/Chicken Noodles for a few weeks lmao
"No, she's my girlfriend!" "No, she's not..." I mean, I guess that's kind of the response you want when someone sees your girlfriend. But I guess also not because you like to think of yourself as in her league. So whatever.
TVLittleHouse Just throwing out an example of a nut who could stand there and get a bunch of comics signed without going straight to Ebay with them. Believe me, I would have had a stack for Slott as well but I was waiting in line for Scott Synder and they were booked around the same time. (NYCC 2013) Great show by the way. Look forward to future episodes. :D
ONmedz Hey ONmedz, thanks for watching! 9 comics is a totally reasonable amount to have signed. I'd go as far as to say up to 20 is cool if you're just that big a fan. We were more talking about people who literally have a box or boxes with dozens of comics to get signed by one dude. I think at that point it's kinda giving the middle finger to everyone else in line.
Why don't you guys launch a show reviewing/commentating on the DC and Marvel animated universes including movies such as Under the red hood, justice league war, and the new justice league throne to atlantis movie, etc...
When I met Adam West he said to me “How’s it going old chum?”
Me - DIES INSIDE WOTH JOY

Wow Sal.Tiffany really saved you. I always the guy that's capped.
Please more comic con stories , there're hilarious

The Dark Web corner of Back Issues, this feels like. This and the live-recorded multi-hour Back Issues in someone's (Sal's?) home in 2014.

How come galactus' helmet doesn't have those horn looking things on the sides?
It's an older figure, so my guess is they broke off. He appears again in an episode of Busted.
Pleeeeeeaaaassseee do another episode of Back Issues like this
When I was fingering through comic boxes, my friend who has never seen an episode of Breaking Bad bumped into Gus.
I had a booth in 2012 at the NYCC selling my book. For every sale i offered a pot brownie or cookie, and of course a beer ( You can not imagine the return customers for shirts and hats hehe). We were playing old Shaw brothers kung fu movies on a big screen. Maybe we met? Awesome show, loved the stories!
he became so powerful
If you click on Ben's face, you get to go to Connecticon.
This is still one of my favorite Back Issues along with the podcast on conventions.
Sal I will be the guy who gives you money at a con if I see you one day.
And I am not giving you more than $50.
I will be the grateful guy behind the table!
But if there is a chance for a picture too I dont want that sears / other place not sear background. I'll just take the autograph.
We will never do that. I'd rather just take a photo on the con floor. I mean, you're there, right? It's obvious you're at a convention. Why hide it behind a gross, blue curtain?
Zach Couch Dude, I'll just send you one. Shoot me an email and I'll mail it out.
38:06 I'd do that... because I really like the show and you guys make me laugh *really* hard. even on my worst days, u can always count on Sal, Ethan and Ben to cheer me up :)

Sal: Was that with Chris Eccleston?
Ethan: I don't f *Cut*

Holy crap.
If enough people are willing to pay that price, then it's priced appropriately.
I would never pay that kind of money for a signature.
$200 CAD = $155ish USD. 😨
Thinking about it, I think the only thing I'd realistically pay money (like $50 or less) to get signed is my Spider-Man: Blue trade and have it signed by Tim Sale or Jeph Loeb.

Man this issue got me craving conventions again, thank you guys
Can't lie, I probably would've paid that hunnid lmao. I mean man...Mark Hamill lol. Probably would've just been Beef/Chicken Noodles for a few weeks lmao
This is the video where I find out that Tiffany and Sal are a couple.
fun conversation!
And its fucking Adam West lmaooo
The handtruck of longboxes is the worst!!!
wait wait wait what was the Carrie Fisher story??
Sal I enjoyed this so much. Is it possible to do more of these story type of videos now?
oh my god i need to see ben as a marvel superhero
This was so great
Great stories!
I'm going to my first con on May 20th.
"No, she's my girlfriend!"
"No, she's not..."
I mean, I guess that's kind of the response you want when someone sees your girlfriend. But I guess also not because you like to think of yourself as in her league.
So whatever.
Speaking of The Baltimore Comic Con, will all of you or just one of you be at BCC 2016?
This was fun.
Yall should do more con stories
Showing my girlfriend this when she ask me what a con is like
wait Tiff's your girlfriend?
And now they're married.
You guys used to film all the time in this store. What store was this? I'm a Jersey local and thought I'd check it out some day.
Funnybooks, Comics and Stuff in Lake Hiawatha
Thanks guys!
Dream.work. is work. Lol
I wonder if Ethan regrets not getting that autograph now.
Arnold schwarzenegger charged $1,300 for a 3 min signature and pic in Austin comicon! Barf
So it's Katana and not Kitana now?
I met Lou Ferrigno at a con once. He was kinda rude.
I had Charles Soule and the rest of the creative team sign around 9 copies of Superman/Wonder Woman. o___o I still have all of them.
TVLittleHouse Just throwing out an example of a nut who could stand there and get a bunch of comics signed without going straight to Ebay with them.

TVLittleHouse You're not even the real one...
awesome pic
Wait are you and Tiffany dating
Lol 125 for the Emperor? He's a good actor but jesus christ.
Why don't you guys launch a show reviewing/commentating on the DC and Marvel animated universes including movies such as Under the red hood, justice league war, and the new justice league throne to atlantis movie, etc...
The issue is finding the time for everybody to watch them all! We might be able to do specials, but it'll be some time before a series.

Edward Furlong was rude to me, and definitely seemed on drugs...it is my only disappointment from a con...
NYCC sucks now
