Anyone notice that 'bad ass' Slade' The Terminator' Wilson looks like some one squished Arnold Schwarzenegger into the Gizmo Duck costume from Duck Tales/Darkwing Duck!?! lmao!?
So I'm starting to realize a pattern with these Earth One books: they are DC's low key answer to Marvels Ultimate universe of characters? Modern retelling of classic characters in non committal origins that go out to every corner of the world! Its Runaways meets the sexy awkwardness of My So Called Life? lol
Well, as soon as I heard "no robin" I literally rolled my eyes because I was like "well, not interested". When did I become that comic book reader? When?!?!?!
I own this trade, but haven’t read it yet. That means I have to watch this, then go read it, and then rewatch it. I think Jeff Lemire is a really great writer and I love this show so here we go!
When I hear teen titans I automatically think of Robin I dunno why. Maybe because I haven't really ... read ... or watched ... anything ... about teen titans at all but I'm looking forward to it :D
Genuinely didn't think you guys would ever do this. I remember picking this up because I was like Teen Titans, they're cool & Earth One, I like those Back Issues. Then I read it and really thought it was hacky. Same week the Runaways Back Issues came out & it was so obvious what they were trying to do with Teen Titans, but it missed the mark for me.
Sal I've read a comic that you wrote and I'll tell you that Garth Kirby was really entertaining and I enjoyed the pace and the humor. Keep up the great work
Now that the Runaways show ((which is surprisingly really good)) is out and on my mind I finally realize this story is basically just the DC version of runaways lol . Like extremely close to it in many ways
Interesting. Of course the one story for the Teen Titans that I didn't is the one that Sal liked XD. If there's a chance of doing a Teen Titans story in the distant future I'd recommend the first volume of Geoff Johns run right after Graduation Day when BB Cyborg and Starfire decide to train the Young Justice kids.
Hated this book, not because I didn't like that they changed canon of the characters but because I didn't like the new takes of these characters or their parents at all, it felt wayyy too "let's copy runaways but not say we're copying runaways"
I personally wasn’t really a Fan of earth one teen titans mostly because as a teen titans fan this wasn’t teen titans this was basically a ripoff of gen13 or any other generic story with kids having superpowers and being experiments type of story that I have seen done to death more then once but that’s just my opinion
You know what.....your right. But i still liked this cause they in my opinion did this trope right, i like the characters, i like how they change some things and i think the setup is good. But thats just me. ;)
Just an FYI regarding Prime Earth (post-Crisis) and Earth-0 (post-Flashpoint), the two are the same. In computing, lists/arrays/etc. start at entry 0. Also, I thought Vol. II was WAY superior, partially because I liked the Doom Patrol connection. It's also where Kid Flash, Kole, and Wonder Girl show up. The story also gets more interesting now that everyone physically meets up and Raven doesn't have to do plot-convenient astral projection bullshit to be relevant anymore. (Minor note of correction: Changeling's name is "Gar," short for "Garfield." This is important because Aqualad/Tempest's name is "Garth.")
Either way Rich Evans is the key to making it all work, he's a much funnier character than we've ever seen before. COMIC POP/RLM = "it will BREAK NEW GROUND!!!" "AT-AT's, AT-AT's!!! I LOOOVE STAR WARS!!!" lol
@Langley M Neely Rich Evans? Who? Oh, you mean Richard "Dick the Birthday Boy" Evans, that Oompa Loompa notorious for fucking an astromech droid in his reaction video for the Force Awakens?
I only know two things about teen titans. that the original cartoon is good and that the new show is garbage. Anything past that is a mystery I enjoy finding out.
No man, in Marvel the main earth is 616, earth prime is the new 52, and before that the main earth was "new earth", this "earth one" is basically what if superheroes existed in the real world
Tell Me if You've heard this one before: When there's trouble, you know who to call (teen titans!) From their tower, they can see it all (teen titans!) When there's evil on the attack You can rest knowing they got your back Cause when the world needs heroes on patrol Teen titans, go! Teen titans, go! With their super powers, they unite (teen titans!) Never met a villain that they liked (teen titans!) They got the bad guys on the run They never stop until the job gets done Cause when the world is losing all control Teen titans, go! Teen titans, go! If your heart is black, you better watch out You cannot escape the team When they catch you, there won't be any doubt You've been beaten by the teens Beaten by the teens T-e-e-n! t-I-t-a-n-s! teen titans! let's go!
27:18 That armor looks like a knock-off Transformer. So, a Gobot. Wait, no. Gobots came first, so Transformers are the knock off? Anyway, the point is, Deathstroke's armor sucks.
Never read this after it seemed they kinda canceled the plan of building to something with all of these earth one series. Is it just me or does this kinda remind you of marvel's runaways?
With all the changes in this book when I saw the lightning on the wall I was really thinking Static was going to be a titan, completely forgetting about kid flash for a second
I know this is an old video but why is Sal saying “Garth” in reference to Beast Boy? His name is Garfield. Gar for short. I’ve read this book but I had to double check on the internet to make sure whoever wrote Teen Titans Earth One made the unnecessary change of his name. Garth is Aqualad/Tempest. Garfield is Beast Boy. 😭 come on Sal.
Another teen Raven who has visions...that's so Raven...
Levi Allen i just choked
It's the future I can seeee
I remember reading this and thinking this is just if the teens titans were the runaways
Romeo Guia exactly
Read this the same week as the Runaways Back Issues came out. Yeah it's pretty obvious in that context.
Anyone notice that 'bad ass' Slade' The Terminator' Wilson looks like some one squished Arnold Schwarzenegger into the Gizmo Duck costume from Duck Tales/Darkwing Duck!?! lmao!?
Yeah, his costume is not of the comics greatest...
ComicPOP catching us off guard at the last minute with a new back issues?! OK
So I'm starting to realize a pattern with these Earth One books: they are DC's low key answer to Marvels Ultimate universe of characters? Modern retelling of classic characters in non committal origins that go out to every corner of the world! Its Runaways meets the sexy awkwardness of My So Called Life? lol
The whole “kids find out they’re parents aren’t actually they’re parents but are adopted by scientists.” Sounds familiar now that I think about it.
Wish I could have been on the couch for this one! 😛
Totally missed ya Tiff! what did you think of the story? worth picking up?
TheRealZubes You were really excited to read this when y'all first got the book. I was sure you'd be in the middle of the couch.
Chris Check haha Sal forgot!
How do you guys decide who's on the couch for the episode
TheRealZubes Wished that you covered this along with the guys.
I can't wait for Green Lantern Earth One.
Its exactly what I was thinking, and Sal has to do it immediately on Back Issues once it comes out.
I'm gonna write a pitch for flash earth one wish me luck
I already have it pre-ordered on Amazon for the POP crew. It should arrive at their place day of release.
pretty sure thats already been in production for awhile.
I remember this book. I always thought this version of Slade looked like a guy Buzz Lightyear would bully at Star Command?
tiffany should read Grant Morrison's WE3 to Ben. he'll end up flooding the whole place.
The day you stop doing Back Issues is the day I die a little bit inside.
I really want to see them do Vol 2 of Teen Titans Earth one it's a fuckin ride
Lemire hinted at a Robin Earth One on his Instagram awhile ago and I’m super excited for that
“She give you alien crabs?!”
Love this book. Lemire's fresh take on the Titans is so good!
WonderGirl(Cassie) does show up but she's very different.
Well, as soon as I heard "no robin" I literally rolled my eyes because I was like "well, not interested". When did I become that comic book reader? When?!?!?!
So ComicPOP Earth One would just be a more edgy ComicPOP?
Sal the brainiac ben the joker and Ethan lex Luthor
And Tiffany is Poison Ivy
I own this trade, but haven’t read it yet. That means I have to watch this, then go read it, and then rewatch it. I think Jeff Lemire is a really great writer and I love this show so here we go!
I have an extra appreciation for Back Issues during finals season. It's a great escape that I look forward to.
Sweet! I've been waiting for you guys to do this book! It's always great to see the notification for a new Back Issues! Thank You!!!
In the main DC universe, Victor has daddy issues, and on Earth One, he has mommy issues
When I hear teen titans I automatically think of Robin I dunno why. Maybe because I haven't really ... read ... or watched ... anything ... about teen titans at all but I'm looking forward to it :D
Genuinely didn't think you guys would ever do this.
I remember picking this up because I was like Teen Titans, they're cool & Earth One, I like those Back Issues. Then I read it and really thought it was hacky. Same week the Runaways Back Issues came out & it was so obvious what they were trying to do with Teen Titans, but it missed the mark for me.
YES!!!!! Now the collection is complete!!!!
Theresa Monroe green lantern is coming soon.
So you're saying it's not over?!? IT'S NOT OVER!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOIO!!!!!!!
Theresa Monroe it's never ogre
Sal I've read a comic that you wrote and I'll tell you that Garth Kirby was really entertaining and I enjoyed the pace and the humor. Keep up the great work
+MrRoccoandhunter Thank you!
Now that the Runaways show ((which is surprisingly really good)) is out and on my mind I finally realize this story is basically just the DC version of runaways lol . Like extremely close to it in many ways
i know im 4 years late but god i did not like that show at all
I like that you guys did this to coincide with the release of the show. What’s that you say? This isn’t Runaways? Had me fooled Jeff, had me fooled
Oh boy a new Back Issues! I'll just consider this an early birthday present from Comic Pop on the b-day. Thanks guys 👍
Thanks so much for covering this!
Interesting. Of course the one story for the Teen Titans that I didn't is the one that Sal liked XD. If there's a chance of doing a Teen Titans story in the distant future I'd recommend the first volume of Geoff Johns run right after Graduation Day when BB Cyborg and Starfire decide to train the Young Justice kids.
TheTiz That was one of the first comics I ever read. It will always have a special place in my heart
Can we all just agree that Comic Pop has the best thumbnails? Ok? Ok.
Both volumes of Teen Titans Earth One are freaking awesome!
Robert Hicks have the opposite opinion on vol 1
Yay! All Earth One series have been touched. I hope Green Lantern Earth One is good and you guys can do it too.
Well good for you, Sal, because I literally just learned via Amazon that Green Lantern Earth One is coming out in March.
Hated this book, not because I didn't like that they changed canon of the characters but because I didn't like the new takes of these characters or their parents at all, it felt wayyy too "let's copy runaways but not say we're copying runaways"
It gets much better (and less-directionless) in Volume II
FINALLY! Been waiting for this one!
I personally wasn’t really a Fan of earth one teen titans mostly because as a teen titans fan this wasn’t teen titans this was basically a ripoff of gen13 or any other generic story with kids having superpowers and being experiments type of story that I have seen done to death more then once but that’s just my opinion
You know what.....your right. But i still liked this cause they in my opinion did this trope right, i like the characters, i like how they change some things and i think the setup is good. But thats just me. ;)
Tevya Smolka and done better. Still a fun idea for the teen titans
Just an FYI regarding Prime Earth (post-Crisis) and Earth-0 (post-Flashpoint), the two are the same. In computing, lists/arrays/etc. start at entry 0.
Also, I thought Vol. II was WAY superior, partially because I liked the Doom Patrol connection. It's also where Kid Flash, Kole, and Wonder Girl show up. The story also gets more interesting now that everyone physically meets up and Raven doesn't have to do plot-convenient astral projection bullshit to be relevant anymore.
(Minor note of correction: Changeling's name is "Gar," short for "Garfield." This is important because Aqualad/Tempest's name is "Garth.")
Thank you for doing this book. I love the Earth-1 stuff.
Another great back issues. So glad we have GBU now so I get 2 of these a week.
Ben:Everything is fair game in the ocean
Sal made this sound better than it actually is
Can you guys do earth 2?(new 52) I think the conversation about the first few pages would be amazing between you guys
Holy shit Sals decomposition of the teenage agenda is amazing and spot on . " all I do wanna do is *have* *sex* & *smoke* "
2:00 already laughing
The only Earth One title that I haven't read, im HYPED
This kind of sounds like DCs version of the Runaways
8:31 jesus christ, that panel on the right
When is @ComicPOP going to do something with RLM? I'm sure you guys could work something out; no?
That'd be cool. If only Mr Plinkett really did live in Teaneck, New Joysey, instead of Milwaukee, then a crossover would be more likely.
Maybe he could get transported by an alien or balloon or something :P
Or his house gets thrown there like on Mount Everest
Either way Rich Evans is the key to making it all work, he's a much funnier character than we've ever seen before. COMIC POP/RLM = "it will BREAK NEW GROUND!!!" "AT-AT's, AT-AT's!!! I LOOOVE STAR WARS!!!" lol
@Langley M Neely Rich Evans? Who? Oh, you mean Richard "Dick the Birthday Boy" Evans, that Oompa Loompa notorious for fucking an astromech droid in his reaction video for the Force Awakens?
great episode, as always. Cant wait for earth one book by Francis Manapul. Unrelated note; link for the white shelves on set? please?
The earth one comics are so damn good I want them all!
Can you do New X-men by Grant Morrison for the next back issues?
These Earth One books sound super interesting. I might pick them up when I get a chance.
Ahhhh, waking up to a bavk issues show. What a start to the day. Hope you are all well and safe. As always greetings and salutations from the uk
Been waiting on this
So, Jericho and Slade is permanent FrieStorm in Earth One. Can't wait for the Green Lantern Earth One
Please do Big Time by Dan Slott
so titans earth one is basically the opening episodes of the justice league cartoon.
Another great episode!!
I just listen to a CW pilot in comic book form
I only know two things about teen titans. that the original cartoon is good and that the new show is garbage. Anything past that is a mystery I enjoy finding out.
No man, in Marvel the main earth is 616, earth prime is the new 52, and before that the main earth was "new earth", this "earth one" is basically what if superheroes existed in the real world
+Sir Anti of the Church of Chernobog You should read the end of Secret Wars again.
ComicPOP they changed it in secret wars?! Fucking hell its hard to keep track.
+Sir Anti of the Church of Chernobog Bingo ;)
ComicPOP love back issues btw, this channel is awesome
2:05 amazing joke from Ben
Oh boy teen titans earth one this should be good
Tevya Smolka dude u are like the stan lee of the comic book channels I see u in every comment section lmao :)))
Ooo. I was not expecting this. This should be good.
You guys should do a back issues on Avengers Arena :D
35:30 I'm I the only one getting Kangaroo Jack vibes from this.
I couldn't live with out an explanation on a comic book I will never read , my daily dose .
Thanks nigga.
Lemire is one of the best writers out there
Tell Me if You've heard this one before:
When there's trouble, you know who to call (teen titans!)
From their tower, they can see it all (teen titans!)
When there's evil on the attack
You can rest knowing they got your back
Cause when the world needs heroes on patrol
Teen titans, go!
Teen titans, go!
With their super powers, they unite (teen titans!)
Never met a villain that they liked (teen titans!)
They got the bad guys on the run
They never stop until the job gets done
Cause when the world is losing all control
Teen titans, go!
Teen titans, go!
If your heart is black, you better watch out
You cannot escape the team
When they catch you, there won't be any doubt
You've been beaten by the teens
Beaten by the teens
T-e-e-n! t-I-t-a-n-s! teen titans! let's go!
YES!!!! really wanted to see this on here!
Gun shoots
Screams
Explosions
I sleep
Comicpop upload a new video
REAL SHIT😲
When’s there’s trouble you know who to call... ComicPOP!
2:10 I’m dead 😂
35:27 Changeling is a Rodent Of Unusual Size?
+thatHARVguy I don't think they exist.
is this the first Jeff Lemire book you guys have ever done?
I was wondering the same, I think it is...
Can u guys do superman secret identity
We’re getting so close to episode 200, GET HYPE!!!
Free Range Nerd
Watchmen with the parents? 52? No Man’s Land? World War Hulk? We need to know!
Take a drink every time he mentions that Beast Boy has 2 dads.
Please do more superman earth one! I personally love those volumes. Plus green lantern earth one is coming out soon!!!!!!
Great episode! I liked the first volume, but after volume 2, I didn't really care for it anymore, I much rather stick with Batman and Superman
please do volume 2
27:18 That armor looks like a knock-off Transformer. So, a Gobot. Wait, no. Gobots came first, so Transformers are the knock off? Anyway, the point is, Deathstroke's armor sucks.
Never read this after it seemed they kinda canceled the plan of building to something with all of these earth one series.
Is it just me or does this kinda remind you of marvel's runaways?
Yeah it feels much more like a DC version of Runaways than it feels like a Teen Titans reboot
So Titans the TV shows second season was basically this book
Never got this one, maybe worth checking out.
Good timing. I was just about to study.
Hey Guys love the show! But will you ever do JMS Spidey run on back issues?
With all the changes in this book when I saw the lightning on the wall I was really thinking Static was going to be a titan, completely forgetting about kid flash for a second
I know this is an old video but why is Sal saying “Garth” in reference to Beast Boy? His name is Garfield. Gar for short. I’ve read this book but I had to double check on the internet to make sure whoever wrote Teen Titans Earth One made the unnecessary change of his name. Garth is Aqualad/Tempest. Garfield is Beast Boy. 😭 come on Sal.
Why does this reminds me of Marvels Runaways 🤔. Loved this story btw
Ever going to cover volume 2?
Wonder Woman too, right?
FUCK YEAH BEEN WAITING ALL DAY, AND EARTH ONE!!!!!! HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This book reminds me of runaways lot of the art too.
Green Lantern: Earth One is coming out soon... Next year I think
What ever happen to batman: earth one volume 3??????
does this feel like the runaways with a teen titans skin to anyone?
I just noticed...is that a Jessica Jones statue behind Ben on the lower right of the screen?
Good eye
So awesome! I totally want one! Can't believe it took me this long to notice it!
