Sal: "The story opens with Spider-man and Ghost Rider fighting a giant cyborg." Tiffany: "Which one?" Sal: "Danny Ketch." Tiffany: *Giggles maniacally.*
Ah, humanity... 1.) I love how stupidly awesome this book was. 2.) Your Hulk/Savage Dragon mini-rant made me laugh so hard. 3.) I also love how hard Tiffany tries to critique this book like a detailed review and you and Ben are like: "Look at how awesome this 'BOOM!!!' onamatapoeia looks!!!" 4.) "Have you seen a Swartzenheimer film?!" is now in my lexicon. Thank you Ben. 5.) Ben, your camouflage octopus Doc Ock pitch is awesome; don't let them bully you. 6.) I love you guys. Thank you so much for existing.
I started getting back into comics after about 3 years and I can say I cant get enough of this channel. It's really helpful on what to collect and on what characters, writers, and artists are worth following. Plus it keeps me hyped about comics 24/7. Keep up the great work! P.S. I'd love to see you guys talk about a Punisher story on Back Issues
So glad you did this comic on Back Issues! This is the first story I bought as a child and actually got me into Spider-Man. I used to draw the images all the time as a kid. Didn't come out as nice but whatever lol. I will tell you that when I was a kid I thought all of this was cool! Lol
This series will always hold a special place in my heart even at 40 years old. As a kid I was a nerd but I had never really been into comics until one Christmas this set was under the tree out of the blue and nothing was ever the same.
After a long day at work, coming home to rest and watch a Back Issues about one of my favourite Spider-Man stories is really welcome! Thanks, ComicPOP gang! :D
I just tried to re-read this story and my brain shut down halfway through. Things get to a point where you can't even read the words anymore. This is one of the most "early 90's" stories there is. If you ever sell a DVD of your best episodes, this one should be on it.
Thank you, Sal. What a riveting video. I'm laughing at loud at your antics. The three of you are terrific and have a special kind of chemistry. Good job guys.
New Back Issues early got me excited until I realized there won't be a new one tomorrow. Guess I'll just have to watch it again tomorrow evening to make up for it ;)
Actually, Sal one of the very first villain teams was The Monster Society of Evil a team formed by Captain Marvel's/Shazam's rogues in order to combat him.
47:49 HAVE YOU SEEN A SCHWARZENHEIMER MOVIE? I was thinking of a fake title for Terminator and I thought of Eraser, then was all, "Wait... that's also a real Arnold movie."
Great episode to revisit. Although on this rewatch I'm thinking Ben should be more careful with his suggestions. Marvel seems to eventually do a lot of the random stuff that you guys throw out and I'm not sure I want to see Dr octopus after his octopus skin grafts and actual octopus tentacles LOL
I loved this story. Would you guys consider doing a Spiderman story called The Real Clone Saga? It was what the clone saga was originally meant to be, until the writer got fired. Apparently, he didn't tell anyone how the story was going to pan out, which created the mess we all know and loathe.
Aw man.. this is great. Thanks for covering this story, guys. I love all its 90s excess.. hahaha. And I disagree with Sal: "Torment" is a much more superficial story! xD
The art is so action packed (though also messy) that whenever I look at my first run trade, I think "oooh! This looks good" as if I've never read it. It looks so promising but then you read it.
I love your Back Issues and I've been going through the catalogue (after doing the same with Elseworlds). This was a fun riff by the gang but I'm a bit disappointed about the way everyone reacted to the Peter-MJ nude scene argument. It could have been handled a bit more seriously and less jokey considering it's an issue that actors and their partners have in real life.
Hahaha Excellent..!!! Another *Amazing* & *Spectacular* episode of Back Issues..!! With the large amount of Ben's quips, isn't it logical he should have been the new Spider-Man instead of Tom Holland..? Also, kudos to Tiffany for the belter at the end too..!!
I think I have all of these issues. I know I have most of them. I'm going to have to dig them out of my short boxes and read this. It sounds like a lot of fun. Lol
As always, this was such a fun episode inspiring me to put even more books on my never ending to-read list on Marvel Unlimited. Thank you so much for creating all the content every week. Watching you guys talk about comics in this entertaining fashion has become such a beacon of my daily free-time routine.
funny thing, that cyborg x character is the prototype for another character that Erik Larsen made. called it super patriot. see that cyborg, but pallet swap the green for red, white and blue. he even had a limited series over at image comics back when they started.
I love DK Ghost Rider too, Tiffany. Y'all should do Punisher, Ghost Rider, Wolverine Hearts of Darkness sometime even though it seems none of you like JR Jr.
What do you mean Spider-Man acting like a prune? Peter had every right to be upset. It's still a movie yes but she is still naked with another man. A lot of stuff has happened on movie sets because of those scenes. Take Jennifer and Brad with Angie. I think Peter had every right to be upset.
Has there ever been a book where wonder man and Mary Jane have been in the same romantic comedy movie and have a kiss or a love seen? Because I would love to see Peter’s reaction to that
Sal: "The story opens with Spider-man and Ghost Rider fighting a giant cyborg."
Tiffany: "Which one?"
Sal: "Danny Ketch."
Tiffany: *Giggles maniacally.*
I like this story. It shows you why he's Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. He's friends with _everyone_ in the neighborhood.
Ah, humanity...
1.) I love how stupidly awesome this book was.
2.) Your Hulk/Savage Dragon mini-rant made me laugh so hard.
3.) I also love how hard Tiffany tries to critique this book like a detailed review and you and Ben are like: "Look at how awesome this 'BOOM!!!' onamatapoeia looks!!!"

At least this comic has something the new ones don't....Peter and MJ are actually together.
Dammit Aaron too soon man..too soon...
Meh. You want Mj and Pete together? Read the back issues. Time to move on.
@@TheObsessedGardener Well, they're back together right now, so...
I Have a great image of Todd McFarlane blowing up Eric Larson's house
sandman's new name should have been glasshole
It's clever. But to cut it in the 90's, you need deliberate typos....so pass. Sorry.
@@cybercop0083 What about Glazzhole with a really angular logo?
@@nutttman Your bag of money is already en route. For a second bag make the logo blood dripping.

P.S. I'd love to see you guys talk about a Punisher story on Back Issues
they have punisher frankncastle, punisher vs archie, and...punisher/batman. i highly recommend you check em out!
So glad you did this comic on Back Issues! This is the first story I bought as a child and actually got me into Spider-Man. I used to draw the images all the time as a kid. Didn't come out as nice but whatever lol. I will tell you that when I was a kid I thought all of this was cool! Lol
I loved this series growing up because of the turn around in the final fight.
I finished watching Spider-Man and then go to UA-cam and instantly find more Spider-Man, today was and good day.
That image of Hydra being destroyed by the Sinister Six reminds me to thank you for introducing me to The Venture Bros. Thank you!
Have ya seen a Schwartzenheimer film?
Such great quotes!
"I'll be returning."
"Escape to the helicopter!"
"Follow my lead if you want to survive!"
That ending, made it worth Ethan not being there.
Nice one Tiff.
Early Back Issues!!!
Anyone remember the Insidious six from the cartoon?
It's Over 9000 Productions YES
It's Over 9000 Productions overseen by Kingpin...yeah, kinda lame team.
Well it's only chameleon that dragged the team down. lol
This series will always hold a special place in my heart even at 40 years old. As a kid I was a nerd but I had never really been into comics until one Christmas this set was under the tree out of the blue and nothing was ever the same.
Hell yeah
After a long day at work, coming home to rest and watch a Back Issues about one of my favourite Spider-Man stories is really welcome!

Darth Vader vs Sandman?... I hate sand...
Oh man how I needed this ..... Thank you
You know the ride at Universal Studios? This would fit right in lol.
Bishop when jaws pops out of the water?
yes a new spidey review that you all are getting into on back issues.
3:15 I will forever count the seconds when seeing Ghost Rider on film until he runs away "victorious"
Andrew Colliver lol and what a glorious day that will be!
I think I remember Jean Grey and Rogue both also having that big poofy MJ hairstyle in the early 90's too. Meh.
I just noticed Sal has a Batman Beyond shirt. AWESOME!
I feel like every time Sal says " That would be great" he doesn't really think it would be great
This comment is great.
Thank you, Sal. What a riveting video. I'm laughing at loud at your antics. The three of you are terrific and have a special kind of chemistry. Good job guys.
New Back Issues early got me excited until I realized there won't be a new one tomorrow. Guess I'll just have to watch it again tomorrow evening to make up for it ;)
You guys forgot to mention the great Schwarzenheimer film Lookalikes
Ivan Garcia genius!
In my country it was called „Duplets“. Also starring Donny Divola.
Actually, Sal one of the very first villain teams was The Monster Society of Evil a team formed by Captain Marvel's/Shazam's rogues in order to combat him.
This really makes me want to see a Back Issues of The Superior Foes Of Spider-Man. Great series.
Marvel/Sony should seriously consider using this Doc Oak cocaine plot device in 1 of the next films 😂
Wait a minute... ITS NOT WEDNESDAY!!!
Yeah I was surprised too.
Or is it!?!?? ....it's not.
TheRealZubes it is in Australia
47:49 HAVE YOU SEEN A SCHWARZENHEIMER MOVIE? I was thinking of a fake title for Terminator and I thought of Eraser, then was all, "Wait... that's also a real Arnold movie."
thanks for this comic pop been tough sledding as of late for me...you all (havent forgot you danielle) help brighten a nerds day. cheers
William Gazca hope things get better soon!! 😀
This is 1992 and he looks awesome and RAD
23:32 peter looks identical to arnold Schwarzenegger

ComicPOP THANKS SAL.
M.T.KaiserSoze Happy Birthday!!!
this was a blast from the past. good stuff guys
Not only is it on Tuesday, but I've been waiting for this story for soooo long. Thank Comics!
Great episode to revisit. Although on this rewatch I'm thinking Ben should be more careful with his suggestions. Marvel seems to eventually do a lot of the random stuff that you guys throw out and I'm not sure I want to see Dr octopus after his octopus skin grafts and actual octopus tentacles LOL
ROBO BANG ME PETER!
😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
(Thor throws hammer at satellite) “have at thine blow mortals!”
You guys should do some of the pre-new 52 batman beyond stories. The ones with terry mcginnis as batman, not tim drake
Just finished this book today, really love how many times Spider-Man gets ditched before/during/after a major battle haha
When JJJ wanted pictures of Spider-man he MEANT ass focused pics of Spider-man.
26:39 BWAHAHAHAAHHA!!
That look! OMG Tiffany, that's the exact look, reading that part of the book gave me 14 years ago.
This was a particularly funny and fantastic episode
loved the Larsen books too! total nostalgia, jus picked up the omnibus
Yay! For real Sal, thanks buddy. I've been having a shitty ass day. You saved it. Fuck yes. Back Issues. Smiley face
I've watched every back issues and I gotta say, you guys are awesome. I've never learned so much about comics than from you guys.
This was my first Spidey story I collected in full.
Congrats on 52k and thank you so much for a surprise early episode!
Harley Quinn thank you!
anyone else with spidey on not wanting their wives in a nude scene of a movie?
And Tiffany seemed kind of annoyed the entire video
jmsolano0516 I guess that's just how I am, cause I wasn't. Maybe I just have RBF when I'm listening..
jmsolano0516 yes me
jmsolano0516 yes it's called morals of marriage
My favorite Schwartzheimer film was the classic Latveria Lukewarm 😜
Points to Ben for the "We were on a brake" line. I feel like Ben and I would be Friends.
I remember this story; I had the first issue, but never got the rest. God I love this, and am totally buying this!
R.J.Godzilla81 I laughed at that line as well. The most stupid moment on friends
Back Issues is the best thing on UA-cam! Keep up the good work

Doc Ock beating Hulk is dastardly.
LMAO what is this clusterfuck of a story? I love how ridiculous it is.

Also, kudos to Tiffany for the belter at the end too..!!
Awesome, thanks for the early back issues comicPOP, you guys rock!!!
I think I have all of these issues. I know I have most of them. I'm going to have to dig them out of my short boxes and read this. It sounds like a lot of fun. Lol
As always, this was such a fun episode inspiring me to put even more books on my never ending to-read list on Marvel Unlimited. Thank you so much for creating all the content every week.

I love how even Ben and Tiffany knew it was bullshit that Doc Oc beat up Hulk.
I really thought you guys were going to point out Electro saying "Oh Lordy, It's The Hulk!"
I loooovvvveeed this book as a kid :)
i loved the rematch of doc ock vs the hulk.hulk knocked him out cold
I freaking love this episode
holy crap i was going to send this to you! i loved it and got it at my local comic shop for $3 hardcover! a steal. also, #Bentai
I like story but some people may not I do not because of the art but the story feels like a Spider-Man story and the art is awesome
Apologies for the terse comment; was having a bad day. Big fan of the channel, keep up the good work.
funny thing, that cyborg x character is the prototype for another character that Erik Larsen made. called it super patriot. see that cyborg, but pallet swap the green for red, white and blue. he even had a limited series over at image comics back when they started.
In the intro, there is only one parentheses around the episode number.
It reads: "(Episode 171"
It's too late!!! But a good catch! Sadly youtube doesn't let you just replace a video so we would have to pull the whole thing down to fix it :-(
TheRealZubes It's fine, so far I think I'm the only one who's noticed it so it's probably not that big of a deal.
I love DK Ghost Rider too, Tiffany.
Y'all should do Punisher, Ghost Rider, Wolverine Hearts of Darkness sometime even though it seems none of you like JR Jr.
What do you mean Spider-Man acting like a prune? Peter had every right to be upset. It's still a movie yes but she is still naked with another man. A lot of stuff has happened on movie sets because of those scenes. Take Jennifer and Brad with Angie. I think Peter had every right to be upset.
Cyborg-X is actually Crimson Commando from Freedom Force/Mystique's Brotherhood.
also yay spider-man vs sinister six
Haha nice ending!
always awesome!!!
JMS had more balls than this, he used Schwarzenegger's real, full name in his Spider-Man run!
Best Tuesday ever!!!
Fun and nonsensical.... loved it..... i go now
holy crap!!! an early episode
Yes! Back Issues on Tuesday!
im glad i checked twitter
Sal said "cure for addiction to cocaine" and my brain literally broke for a second
You should try to get Angry Video Game Nerd in there. And more Tiffany please.
The timing for the video releases this week have been really strange....but in a good way
Accurate Fibs
Zach Haynes lol!
Has there ever been a book where wonder man and Mary Jane have been in the same romantic comedy movie and have a kiss or a love seen? Because I would love to see Peter’s reaction to that
Spider-Man next to batman have the best villains in comics follow by maybe the flash.
Superman's would be #3?
#whereisEthan?
oh Wow
joe mcnoe really?
Wait, wtf?
He's not in this episode. This happens a lot if you watch for awhile.
A better question: When are we Getting Physical with Ethan?
Tiff not liking Larsen's Hulk got me thinking, who's the best Hulk artist? Ed McGuinness? John Byrne?
That’s funny cause the bk whopper spider verse deal
Sal where did you get your batman beyond tshirt
