ComicPop: We have a whole trade on Force Works. We're never gonna do Force Works. Population: Wait, what? But why? ComicPop: Because it sucks Population: Oh! If it sucks you should totally do it. ComicPop: What did we just say. It's like you're not listening to us. Do you really want us to cover Force Works? Population: Well, since you brought it up and have the entire trade paperback, yeah, you guys should totally do Force Works. Sal: Aaaargh!
Force Works isn't even THAT bad until all of the Crossing bullshit starts. There's just not a whole lot to talk about and it also gets interrupted by the "Hands of the Mandarin" crossover event which might be fun for them to look at. Also they should do "The Crossing" because it's one of the worst things Marvel ever did. Someone please buy them that omnibus if they don't have it.
We only like Exodus so we can hate him. He's an annoying douche. Besides, his archenemy is actually the Black Knight. Dane Whitman. A guy with a magic sword. An American who speaks with a fake British accent.
Wouldn't it have made more sense for Wolverine's healing factor to eventually kick back in after being down for so long and be crazy OP since it didn't have to fight off admantium poisoning? I always thought that, but you know, comics.
I had that sugarman toy as a kid, but didn't have any context for whom or what it was. I literally yelped when you started talking about him and I was finally able to put 2 and 2 together. Loudly enough to worry my wife in another room across the house to come see if I was okay. It's like you just solved a mystery I forgot about 20 years ago.
20:33 My favorite reaction of the whole episode. Tiffany: Who's on The Avengers? Sal: Captain America! Tiffany and Ethan: All right! Sal: USAgent * record scratch * Ethan: Who the fuck is that?
WHOA! HOLD ON! You're telling me two groups of super heroes can come together... and NOT FIGHT?! I'm sorry, I don't buy it. Down-voting, unsubscribing and mailing a box of bees.
As an X-Men fan I both hate and love X-Men episodes, because Sal's explanations are always at the same time more complicated then they need to be and leave out important details
Wow, I just got this trade! Thank you for the video guys! See my ridiculously long name? It's the proof that Comic Pop has Brazillian fans! Lots of love from Manaus, Amazon.
feels so weird watching this lol. i havent watched in over a year. i use to be the hugest fan. i started watching at around episode 10ish. i'm gonna have to start watching again, love you guys
Saying that Quicksilver was the problem in that marriage is mind boggling. Name a single time Crystal is not “The Real Housewives production team thinks I’m not doing enough. So let me band the neighbors in Wanda’s book!”.
It's 2021. It's crazy to think how well known US agent is now compared to when this came out. He was a nobody. Now millions of people have seen and heard of him.
I know I said "more shitty 90s Marvel" but I have to say that you did a yeoman's work here. This is certainly a complicated story. I did have a mini panic attack when I thought you were serious about Exodus being awesome. He may be the worst X-character ever.
Hey, if you like the blood in “bloodties” then you totally need to do an episode on American Vampire. I will eat Tiffany’s hat if you do. Though it will suck cause that’s an awesome hat.
Sal is so good at explaining utter nonsense. You guys make me watch hour long videos about comics I know I will never want to read, because I know the conversation will be so much freaking fun.
Could we get a Hawkeye Back Issues? Every Back Issues with him has been "Hawkeye suuuuucks" or "Hawkeye explodes". People like the Matt Fraction run I hear ;)
Funny thing about this story is I have 2 issues (issue 1 and 4) of this event. I bought them in a comic bundle at a local big lots back in the early 2000s. They were technically the first comics I ever owned. I thought Exodus design look cool when I was younger. Even though I need to look him up and who is the Cortez guy? I'll watch the video and find out.
i loved reading that story as a kid plus the art of jrjr and epting. epting drawing the avengers was the best era for me until bmb stepped on the scene.

No no. Linkara handles really bad comics.
You know it's an X-Men story when it takes 18 minutes just to provide context for the actual story...
It took 18 minutes because they kept interrupting him with questions
@@Jellofreeze Because of their lack of context.
As it should be. Wouldn't have it any other way
Sal should be careful. He's pissing off the Exodus fans. All none of them.
We only like Exodus so we can hate him. He's an annoying douche. Besides, his archenemy is actually the Black Knight. Dane Whitman. A guy with a magic sword. An American who speaks with a fake British accent.
@@paulocosta4744 hit em with the reverse Henry Cavil, David Kaluuya and Christian Bale
I’m sorry, but that Sugar Man action figure is pure fucking nightmare fuel
timshady like the real Sugarman
Saw Sal's ring and spent the next 20 min waiting for Tiffany to unfold her hands
I just saw the wedding ring on Sal's finger and smiled. So happy for you two!!!!
He's become a Silver Lantern
Now my Sal and Ethan OTP is finally cannon!
Did he and Tiffany tie the knot?
@@willcommon6164 Yeah they're married.
A cute wife who shares his love of comics? Talk about living the dream!
The X-Men is a soap opera. You either know what's going on or you don't.
Sugar Man the perfect mascot for cereal with tasty D.N.A. marshmallows. When you add milk they mutate.
Wouldn't it have made more sense for Wolverine's healing factor to eventually kick back in after being down for so long and be crazy OP since it didn't have to fight off admantium poisoning? I always thought that, but you know, comics.

1:04:39 "So then Professor X and Captain America have a tender moment"
I eagerly await the fan art for THAT one😁
20:33 My favorite reaction of the whole episode.
Tiffany: Who's on The Avengers?
Sal: Captain America!
Tiffany and Ethan: All right!
Sal: USAgent
* record scratch *
Ethan: Who the fuck is that?
Reporting in from 2020 to request FORCE WORKS for back issues
as soon as sal mentioned forceworks i just released a long, heavy ssssssiiiiiiiggggghhhhh...
WHOA! HOLD ON! You're telling me two groups of super heroes can come together... and NOT FIGHT?! I'm sorry, I don't buy it. Down-voting, unsubscribing and mailing a box of bees.
SomeFriendlessBastard Sal opens the box:OH NO! NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEES!AHHH!!!!
Bees. My god.
IS IT BEES?
Assuming SHIELD doesn't count as a group of superheroes.
What's this? A CZcams channel woefully underpopulated by bees? A large influx of bees ought to put a stop to that!
27:17 Oh, Gambit, you straight-up perv.
As an X-Men fan I both hate and love X-Men episodes, because Sal's explanations are always at the same time more complicated then they need to be and leave out important details
Wait Sal are you saying that there was a West Coast/East Coast Avengers style Rap War in the mid 90s???!?!?!?!?!?!? 3:00
West Coast had Rhodie, so they obviously destroyed.
Bloodties! The ties that blood! The blood that ties! The blood of Avengers and X-Men! Coming at you now on Back Issues!
Wow, I just got this trade!
Thank you for the video guys!
See my ridiculously long name? It's the proof that Comic Pop has Brazillian fans!
Lots of love from Manaus, Amazon.
I love all configurations of the couch but Tiffany/Sal/Ethan works really well
Tiffany bringing back awesome hats onto Back Issues. Can't wait for episode 200, damn tight ship you run Sal.
I want that hat so much and I don't even wear hats
Man, I forgot about "feral" Wolverine. Thanks for bringing that back up, Sal...
OMG... When Sal describes the Avengers of this book, it's just the just the post Disney+ MCU
Lol Ethan’s reaction to US Agent
feels so weird watching this lol. i havent watched in over a year. i use to be the hugest fan. i started watching at around episode 10ish. i'm gonna have to start watching again, love you guys
Alien Alive welcome back!! 😀💕
I tried my hardest to keep track of the story, but just couldn't do it, like most X-Men stories from the 90's.
Saying that Quicksilver was the problem in that marriage is mind boggling. Name a single time Crystal is not “The Real Housewives production team thinks I’m not doing enough. So let me band the neighbors in Wanda’s book!”.
Give me force works or give me dead
56:55 "I understood that reference!"
Just got back from the Elseworlds Exchange lol!
Noah 23 same!
Likewise, haha.
Noah 23 same
If you do Force Works, I'll quit my job and dedicate my weekends to feeding the homeless.
Idunnoyouguessit but if you quit you‘re job, how would you pay for their food?
does that offer still stand?
Hey Sal, your hair looks very nice here
this was really an xmen story guest starring the avengers.......
Force Works!!! My favourite stupid name hahaha
love the sweet jazz at the end
“Who are these…? Never mind, I don’t care” is up there with my favorite Tiffany moments. I laughed out loud.
I'd love to see the USAgent vs. the KGBeast.
That first minute and a half setup was incredible
Man, now i want to see all those x-men stories on backissues!
Sal mentioning West Coast Avengers, made me think of Jawin's "West Coast Avengers" song.
Ah the 90's.......when X-Men continuity became as convoluted as LSH continuity.
“They killed Saddam Hussein and then they left” gold star from me.
One of the most glorious X-messes of the 90's.
I agree I don’t want a Versus movie either. They just did the Civil War and DC did the Batman vs Superman.
It's 2021. It's crazy to think how well known US agent is now compared to when this came out. He was a nobody. Now millions of people have seen and heard of him.
If I send you my sweet issue #1 of Force Works with the rad fold out cover, then would you do Force Works? Or at least burn it live?
We have it!
That ending music is so comfy. I like it!
Rogue could get that condom in the Naked Gun movie to resolve that problem.
Yay!!!! You guys improve my entire week!
That's what I say!
May I just say I love that X-men hat Tiff and damage control shirt also love your vids
Wow superhero team-up
I hope they fight 😂
the universally panned run on X-Men by writer Chuck Austen.
Exodus actually absorbs just about every type of energy. Physical attacks are the best bet to defeat him if you can get close enough
But if he can absorb every type of energy can't he absorb kinetic energy from physical attacks?
Mr.E I said just about every type of energy. You can punch him and it will hurt him it's just being able to get close enough to actually hit him.
Sal, you really know how to sell a comic arc. Duly noted! 👍
Goddamit you guys make me happy. Thank you
You might have been thinking of Cable's floating island utopia for mutants
love the damage control shirt
I totally want you to cover Force Works. I read I think one issue of that, so this would explain so much.....
Sugarman looks like a god damn digimon.
I was watching the X-Men and Fantastic Four back issues episode just now lol
Canada was the first place that Wolverine went after losing his Adamantium.
Maybe this has been said, but Death of Xavier and Age of Apocalypse happened between this and Onslaught
Thank you.
I know I said "more shitty 90s Marvel" but I have to say that you did a yeoman's work here. This is certainly a complicated story. I did have a mini panic attack when I thought you were serious about Exodus being awesome. He may be the worst X-character ever.
Damn Tiffany looks great with the X-Men cap and the big boots
Yo Tiffany and Ethan are so similar in their facial expressions and tone and body gestures it's almost UNCANNY
(see what I did there? no? i'll leave)
Dude. You gotta do Force Works now.
Hey guys, I'm really excited about the prospect of seeing you guys take on my favorite team "Force Works".
Episode 200-Future's End
Hey, if you like the blood in “bloodties” then you totally need to do an episode on American Vampire. I will eat Tiffany’s hat if you do. Though it will suck cause that’s an awesome hat.
1:21 instant spit take
Love this episode
As always this was a great show, can you do an episode on the new Warren Ellis wild storm ?
Almost to episode 200 that’s going to be fun
"Eeeeeh yeah but Magneto kicked Exodus ass in a (crappy) Uncanny X-Men story two years ago"
Loved the episode you guys!
Sal is so good at explaining utter nonsense. You guys make me watch hour long videos about comics I know I will never want to read, because I know the conversation will be so much freaking fun.
Hey I'm in Kenosha watching something about Genosha
You can always tell when Sal really doesn't dig a story. His explanations start spiralling to the point of confusing the rest of the couch.
Nice.
House of M is how I would bring mutants into the MCU where Scarlet Witch goes crazy and looses control of her powers.
I have been laughing non-stop for 3 months at "Force Works"... Of all the combination words in the English language...
Surprised it wasn't ForceWorx, or something similar.
Yay! Tifany's here!
Could we get a Hawkeye Back Issues?
Every Back Issues with him has been "Hawkeye suuuuucks" or "Hawkeye explodes".
People like the Matt Fraction run I hear ;)
Gunthar says: the Genengineer exists
Force Works for episode 202!
love tiffanys outfit
Damn Tiff. Them boots.
LOL I loved this episode hahahahahah
Will you do geoff Johns teen titans
Oh please do 😊
For tha future!
Funny thing about this story is I have 2 issues (issue 1 and 4) of this event. I bought them in a comic bundle at a local big lots back in the early 2000s.

@@MrEtherOck ok thanks
Tiffany is gorgeous
Force Works for episode 210, plz! I wanna see your friends laugh like crazy!
i loved reading that story as a kid plus the art of jrjr and epting. epting drawing the avengers was the best era for me until bmb stepped on the scene.
Force Works! Force Works! XD
Isn't Exodus the annoying bastard that appears at random in the last stage of X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse?
I hope you do Necrosha at some point for more silly things with old ass mutants on Genosha
