This shows you that all that crap Ennis stuffed into The Boys was really self-indulgent and counter-productive to telling a straightforward, thematically coherent story.
I enjoyed season one of the show, started reading the comic and just thought it was too edgy. Invincible for the win (Kirkman is one of my favorite comic writers, so thta might have to do. While I do enjoy Eniss' Punisher Max, I'm not that much into his other stuff)
@@fbritannia it’s not a surprise. Despite what marvel zombies shows I don’t think Kirkman hates superhero’s. Ennis does, he’s pretty much said as such that he doesn’t like superhero’s
The Viltrumites have always struck me as being less like the Kryptonians and more like the Saiyans had there been no Frieza to enslave and then wipe them out.
It ended perfectly, and it goes to far into the future in the end. So there is no real way for marks story to continue unless they show terra and marky’s growth
Jesus Sal's been holding down that Robot Racism so well I never even suspected. ...check your prejudices Sal. Robots are wonderful work-a-day folks who just want to be respected.
Sal.... you guys are like the MJ Bulls Dynasty during this pandemic. 💯👍🏾Excellence. Your run is UNDISPUTED. 🐐🐐🐐🐐(a G.O.A.T for each of you including Tiff)
ComicPOP is thriving right now! Not only because you guys did Invincible or because of the recent insane interviews but each episode is very lively and it makes the best discussion when everybody's having fun.
You know? Between this episode, Mister Miracle, New Frontier, and Ultimate Spider-Man. You guys have pretty much done my favorite comic books of all time. You guys are missing Batman: Year 100 and I'm pretty much set for life.
@@hammskie05 I did. I stand corrected the animated series is pretty true to the source material besides some minor flaws that more or less get on my nerves. But because I have bias towards books I have to say I like the faster pace of the comics much better though
@@marlom7882 Honestly, I preferred the way the show handled some stuff more than the comic (the exception being Amber, obviously). I preferred the way the show started, I liked how the Guardians of the Globe fight was handled and vastly preferred how Will's personality in the show (also that I didn't have to sit through that weird period were he was in the closet). And in case anyone wants to scream at me, I first read the comic during a very long stay in hospital, finished close to the entire series in a month and re-read it for fun. I'm looking forward to seeing how they handle the outer space shit and Oliver being born. They haven't really done any tie-in to stuff like Brit or Savage Dragon but I really hope they do.
this is really interesting to come back to with the context of the show adaptation, seeing how things were changed both to fit the pacing of a 10-episode series and as a kind of second draft.
A lot of stuff from the second arc of the comic are thrown into the first season of the show and switched around a bit, to pretty decent effect, I think
SPOILERS FOR THIS EPISODE (and the book, but you're watching ComicPOP so...): Sal: If anyone thinks I'm Omni-man, I'll just kill'em. Me as someone who read the book: *Mini Heart Attack*
"you don't bring a comic book onto the bathroom." This is truth. Trade paperbacks are okay. But your actual comics? Those SOB's stay in their long boxes, in a protector screen, with a non stick cardboard backing. So sayeth the Lord...
And if they’re worth anything, you entomb them in plastic so they never touch air again, and when the sands of time end and the earth is dust you’ll still have your signed Batman comic
This is one of the best Back Issues in a while. Shoutout that guy who donated all that money for this to happen! Maybe we should make it a yearly thing where fans bid to donate money to a charity for the opportunity to choose a future back issues!
"The green lantern character has to swallow a jewel to get his powers." That vaguely reminds me of the superhero Darna - most famous superhero in all of the Philippines and pretty much equivalent to Wonder Woman - who got her powers by accidentally swallowing this stone that fell from space. Though I am pretty sure that she didn't have regurgitate the stone like this guy did.
The animated series on Amazon Prime expands on the side characters like the mom and such. But it follows closely. It improves upon how Sal describes the comic
it ruthlessly gut punches you over, and over, and over, and over again... despite promising you "don't worry, shit's totally on the rails now.... totally convincing you, before chaotically flying off the rails again.... to your absolute surprise.... every time!
I just started collecting the graphic novels after being exposed to them, and once I was, I was instantly hooked. Just picked up 6 &7 last week, and it's nice to see that while the novels were quite a deal faster when pertaining to the exposition, the animated series has found close to perfect pacing while laying the ground when dealing with characters story arc's. It has been a long time since I've received such a satisfying (proverbial) "breath of fresh air" and rate this series a 9 Out of 10, as I would highly recommend it to both casual, as well as avid readers if you're looking for the same effect, thrill, and experience that I have. Kirkman does NOT disappoint!
I love how when sal said you dont read comics in the bathroom the other guys took a bit too long to respond. Like sal your the only one. One of the guys is like aint that what plastic slips are for?
Probably for Season 2 and 3. The first season completed the first compendium, so it would line up pretty well for the crew to do the next compendium. The sequel episodes always depend on how the previous ones do, and it looks like this episode has done pretty well.
This is the series that got me into comics back in 2012. Picked up a trade in my local store's bargain bin and spread out from there. So glad the guys enjoyed it! Kiiinda want volume 2 now! Thanks for another amazing episode!
To continue the various winks and nods to other superhero stories, when Sal was describing Mr. Hiles’ berating of Mark and Eve, I thought: “Oh no… is he the Miles Warren of Invincible?”
Around 1:24:56 we almost get Ben to admit what we've always known. That he doesn't age and is an alien from some distance plant. Probably with a yellow sun. 🤔
Vision... a comic mini series that features robots getting, destroy, tormented, and ultimately have a rather unhappy life. No wonder Sal enjoyed it so much
I absolutely love Invincible and I am a big fan of Back Issues. I would definitely love to see more Invincible episodes in the future. Thank you for making another awesome episode of Back Issues. I am excited for the next episode.
Comic pop you finally have done it. I’ve been watching for years now and never had the ambition to buy one of the books. This time is different... I want all 25 volumes of Invincible!
Just Ben flying Sal around while the Reading Rainbow theme plays, that's all I can see now. "Butterfly in the skyyyy, I can fly twice as hiiiigh . . ."
Just saw this a few weeks after the end of S1 of the show. Fun fact you guys uploaded this a day after my 20th birthday. I can’t wait to see where your show goes, you guys have done such a great job with the channel and I love seeing your content. Keep up the stellar work everyone. ❤️
You can buy the Ultimate Collection of Invincible right here! amzn.to/3fMpKw4
Having finished all of Invincible I could totally see why Sal hates Robot
They definitely need to continue this like they do with ultimate Spiderman.

Second attempt at finding a mention of Brit :P Thanks for this awesome content!
Sal, you Derek from the first third of the series doesn't have mech parts permanently, Rick Sheridan from college does. Jeez 🙄
Rats! Foiled AGAIN!

...my god...
*pulls out the shotgun* welp gotta try
The Mustache makes you more powerful.
The sad part is that they aren't wrong with that judgement. I think literally every viltrumite has a stach.
My favorite part is how passionate Sal is about his hatred of robots
or hatred of non-robot characters, whom are named robot....
In this episode: Sal VS Robots
30:25, 46:42
I hope you guys continue with Invincible, I wanna see how Sal gets since there’s a lot of shit involving Robot later lmao

If a Robot uprising ever occurs, Sal’s Robot Racism might of had some merit to it.
Skynet would have a PERSONAL issue with Sal.
I, Robot, but with Sal.
Sal doesn't serve their kind on the couch
Well it's a good thing Robot is a good guy and would never EVER do anything like that.
Seriously though, fuck Robot.
Man are you in for a surprise 😂
Nolan: mark our people are basically Kryptonians.
Nolan 10 years later: actually mark we're basically Saiyans.
Sal being anti-robot is hilarious
yeah, especially toward a character who isn't even a damn robot!

Same here man
whats funny is burger king once got in trouble for that same thing
The WILLIAM thing was an actual thing that happened with Kirkman and The colorist. So Robert put it in the book to rib him.

We need the second volume on the show before S2 comes out!
33:58 this needs to go into the Comic Pop funny moments compilation
I would love to see more of this, as someone who has never read Invincible.
Highly recommend. I own all volumes and its badass. It becomes like a cool sifi action comic with the skin of a superhero book its so cool!!!!
I think we all just witnessed "Tangents: the full length back issues episode". This is the hardest I've laughed during a Back Issues episode. XD
Agreed
I love how Kirkman treats continuity in this story.

*edit*
I'm at 12:12 and I can't wait to see Ethan and Ben's face when Sal gets to THE REVEAL!
What we definitely need now is the Invincible and Spider-Man crossover read on one of the shows
I love the message that 17 years of love in Omni Man’s life cancels out 100s of years of hate
