Yeah a heavy hitter book for sure. 🎉

Great review on a book I’ve never had or read!!! Gotta track this down now!!!

A man gave this issue to me for free in a discord last year. It was so awesome because it was one of the few issues of his I didn’t have.

Have you read the entire PAD run ?

Now days the writers are begging for money on twitter to eat. My how the times have changed.

I got this in a 50 cent box in Jacksonville about 6 years ago and recall having a good time reading it...i wish there were more books like this where a bunch of really talented creators jam. The Alan Moore and Richard Corben pages are an awesome short story in its own right and clearly steals the show at least imo (though there isn't a dud in the bunch for me)...it also indicates an Alan Moore written X-Men would've been incredible. Cool overview highlighting a book most of fandom probably doesn't know exists, at least I didn't.

Super cool! Reminds me of that Harley Quinn #0, where each page is a different artist/style Side note: they missed an opportunity having Blob vs famine 😅

Yes it was available on Newstand. That is where I saw it wayyyyyy back when. ;)

Holy Art Adams cover Batman!!!! ;) ;)

Great stuff, real enjoyable comic

The entire peter David run on the hulk was really good, it lost steam after the hulk / pantheon story ended though.

I just picked this up at a garage sale. Super fun!

My favourite comic series of all time! Also the same one that got me into comics. Cool vid! ❤

Very cool, thank you.

Amazing issue! Jeff Purves art is peak here.

Awwwww............... I was going to ask if you would cover the Avengers issue of the Evolutionary War.... But you answered before I asked. :(

I read the FF issue wayyyy back when. Did not bother with thei comic.... until now. ;) For drawing the new Thing..... some artissts could just not do it. :(

Keith Pollard is underrated and a forgotten artist, his layouts and storytelling were always solid and him paired with Joe Sinnot looks great- the issues of this run where he's paired with Romeo Tanghal also look good. I remember reading Englehart didn't like the art and felt like he was being paired with inferior artists, but I would have to track down the interview or quote. The Johnny/Alicia relationship was a Byrne invention, it happened when Ben stayed on Battleworld for a while.

Wonder how the original art looks like without the color. There is some pages with any black on it, only lines, kind of insteresting see McFarlane doing a sort of Geoff Darrow approach, in my opinion.

Loved that comic. Seeing the Mutated upgraded Thing VS the lesser weaker Grey Hulk was a fun bit. And for once..... the Hulk was no match for the Thing...... whatttatwist. ;) ;)

I remember those era of Fantastic Four was and good run that needs to be remembered

I appreciate your channel, thanks for sharing :)

This is one of my favorite books. This was a real slug fest!!! 👊 🌟

Looks like a fun concept and also the art is fantastic.

The reason why I can't read most superhero books, especially copper age is because I feel like this... lots of sighs and not much fun. But the moment I really enjoyed in this video was ::pause:: "I get confused....I get confused" 🤣

I thank whatever god you pray to that romita jr and his shit art only did the mini, and the jim lee/mark silvestri clone did the regular series for a good run.

Ian Churchill was way better, I remember hating that Kirby crap.

I had mentioned Blooshot #0 in another comment.... Made a BooBoo.... This was actually my first Valiant comic. Was a big fan of Don Perlin ever since I saw his work in the pages of Captain America. Loved this comic.... until Valiant had.... BirthQuake?? I think is what they called it??

That's some serious gore lol

Fairly certain that I've only read maybe one Valliant book. Maybe none. They just couldn't compete for my attention. I didn't enjoy BWS when I was younger and those pastel water colours really weren't calling to me. I'm sure they were better than a lot of what I was reading, but it wasn't EXTREME enough. ;)

Thus looks awesome! Glad to hear it'll end up in shops I'll keep my eyes open for it!

Marvel Team-Up was so great in the '70s

Rollerball is a crazy good movie my grandmother had it on tape

Love hearing ur voice and learning about the latest comics cant wait to see you grow

I've enjoyed all of the pre-Acclaim Valiant books I've tired (some Rai, Turok, Eternal Warrior and X-O Manowar) I always wanted to read these...Valiant BWS seems a little restrained compared to some of his other work, but it still looks great.

more Darwyn Cooke on the channel please! also, bump time sale's hulk: gray up on the list :)

Cool art style! It looks to be either watercolours or coloured inks? Thanks for sharing

Thanks for such an in-depth&sensitive review, truly appreciated!

The original Doctor Solar was more like DC's Captain Atom. Shooter turned him into a Dr Manhattan clone, and I find that power level boring.

Awesome! I’ve always dug these Classic X-Men covers.

Nice! Love this card set!

I definitely need to catch up on some of these iconic stories

I started reasing Valiant with Bloodshoot #0. So I missed a lot of the early Valiant issues.

Love the feel of early Valiant comics! Thanks for the entertaining review. 😀

Sorry.... skipped most of the video. Can't watch that comic era of the Hulk sadly. :( Will be back to watching the whole video once you reach the Dale Keown era. See you then. ;)

Despite Marvel Tales being published in the 90s the X-Men story takes place in 1977 since that is when the main MTU reprint was published. West Coast Avengers #17 is from 1987 so it isn't that much of a stretch for the desert villians to stay hidden for ten-ish years. They were only henchmen after all (for the old X-men villain Lucifer)

There's something in the air that changes the hulk not the shock read it.

The popularity of Joe Fixit was from that early Wolverine issues, so I think that what causes everyone to think grey hulk is Fixit, I can definitely say that's what I thought when I was a kid
