Fun fact the reason the comic starts with college age Peter. Is cause they took the Ditko run as this Spider-man's backstory.
That's also when the sliding timeline started for marvel.
@@tyreonbooker5304 yep that's one of the things about the Dikto run that people forget: that the first three years of publication are about Spiderman growing up from 15 to 18 which is super unique and interesting for superhero comics especially
Peter and Jessica in the 90's. When finally you hook up with your high school crush after 30 years.
I actually gave this book to my 50 year old mother who doesn't read comics.
She loved it and wants to print out one of the splash pages to frame it.
Thats cool
The idea of an older woman who has never read comics wanting to print all her favorite splashes is so sweet to me.
nice, I let my dad read my copy since he was a big Spidey fan in the 70s/80s. I now need to make him give me my damn book back.
@@brya9681 Too late, that's forever his now.
@@brya9681 you better have let him keep it you bastard!
I wish this “Life Story” universe becomes sort of the new Ultimate line where we get versions of the characters with real stakes and real time aging but without being edgy like Ultimates
And what's more, that would force writers to actually come up with new characters as the old ones get too old.
Daredevil life story would be amazing
Super JLK honestly
@Super JLK So like... as soon as Mark Millar came aboard?
Dead on Time dude imagine it starts as man without fear, to then a classic yellow suit, then into no more mister nice guy, then born again, The outed story by bendis, and then shadowland, to then his death
I would love more “Life Story” books for other characters. Not necessarily in the same continuity, but following the “time passes normally” format.
That's actually a great idea. I hope we get to see for other characters too.
@@Popcultureguy3000 Your wish came truth!
I’d like for Neal Adams or Paul Dino to take on Batman for this kind of format.
Fantastic Four Life Story final issue comes out next week.
I'd think Captain America and Daredevil would make "Life Story" books.
I love how they treated Norman Osborn in this book, the final scene with him and Spider-Man together as he dies shows exactly why he is Spider-Man's archenemy
I want a Superman Life Story except he doesn't age, just everyone around him.
Superman Strange Visitor
didn't they already do that
I think a Thor life story would be a better fit the Odinson is a somewhat ageless character while everyone else does age it could be Awesome Man
DC kind if did that with a story called Generations back in the late 90's. It was more of a Batman/ Superman story though.
The only thing more terrifying than death, is seeing your loved ones die and not being able to.
*Gwen:* “I’M DYING IN A VAT IN THIS GUY’S GARAAAAAGE!”
Just Some Guy with a Mustache
Tiny Gwen lol
Hello again.
@@backup-qg6nb Yo!
@@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache Hey!
"Peter Parker, weve come from the ends of the earth to find you!" SHOCKER?
The fact that Bagley drew the whole series was such a wonderful surprise. This book is beautifully written and beautifully drawn. Top notch Story telling
"From Hell's heart I stab at thee,
For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee."
Norman Osborne.
Imagine DD as a young more optimistic Daredevil who fights loser villains like Stiltman and others, but then becomes entangled with Bullseye and Kingpin. That’s a story!
I find it hilarious that Sal says at 1:28 that Zdarsky will never want to be on the Elseworld Exchange ever again when Zdarsky has been on show three times since this episode aired.
I've always assumed that the dream at the very end was Peter's afterlife. He saved everyone and in turn, earned the one thing he could never have in life; Spider-Man doesn't have to represent his penance for his childish failure anymore.
To me it's about knowing you made peace with your life and that while he didn't have a perfect life, he knew a life that wasn't the best had so many great things in it, and if he were to die, he'd make peace with himself and the legacy he left behind becuase he lived a good life, like a good dream
"Everybody wants something, and its almost never world domination." Such a great line to me.
We need a Captain America or Fantastic 4 Life Story
Also a Iron Man and Hulk life story
Nicholas Katsikas maybe a Thor and x-men life story
Most of Caps issues would be one page of him in ice.
@@Ubermensch9240 no. 7 issues of 11 pages of ice. 3 other issues with story in them.
Captain America Life story could be very cathartic. I'd really like to see it.
Is the end of the 80s issue one more day? MJ leaves Peter because of Aunt May lol
Minus the devil.
ComiXProvider FTW_02 The devil allegory might be the symbiote in this story
Spider-Man book + Back Issues = my boredom is cured
Life story is such a great pitch for any hero. I would love a Captain Marvel one which goes over the whole legacy. It begins with Mar-Vel that ends with Kamala.
Yeah I like that
People say they should do this with Superman or Wonder Woman but I think it'd be better to keep it as a Marvel thing however I love the concept of doing one where the hero doesn't age but everyone around them does and I think Thor would be amazing to do that with, we've seen it a little in the Aaron run with the future timeline stuff and I think just laying out his history like this with Jane aging and whatnot would be really cool.
@@Crazy4Comics98 I personally think Superman because it would be super cool to see him interact with the world around him...Also, Captain America because we need a story about Captain America rebelling against the US in Vietnam.
Amazing story with amazing commentary. I bought the collected edition strictly based on Sal's enthusiasm I saw on each Off the Rack. Thanks for keeping me up to date on comics I SHOULD be reading but aren't.
"If you like spider-man you should own this already" lol I love this book. Got em all signed by bagley
I have not read a lot of Spider-Man comics but this is probably the best one I have read. Chip and Bagley created a beautiful love letter to what makes Spider-Man such a great character while also making one of the most incomprehensible Spider-Man stories, the Clone Saga, make sense. Really hope we get more Life Stories because this concept is such a good idea.
Hey did you do that thing where its the writers first name and the artists last name, like that one reviewer for forever evil on purpose.
For characters aging in real time, the Vertigo version of John Constantine did, over the course of a 25 year run, 300 issues and a number of specials. John was in his mid 30s at the start of the series and about 59 or 60 by series end. This was refreshing and really added something to the character that feels amiss in the current mainstream version, but also has drawbacks (things like the prison arc or the marriage arc needing more time).
I do kinda love the ending to Life Story is basically Armageddon, starring Peter as Bruce Willis and Miles as Ben Affleck (and I'm sure that comparison ruined it for someone out there)
@Joseph Rockford cool, I read some library copies sporadically years back, but don't think I went past the 7th volume. Didn't remember that detail if it was present at that point
Sal I won this book from you in a giveaway. My 8 year old son and me have read this together twice. Excluding some parts lol, like the original Gwen being in a test tube lol. But thank you for this beautiful story, I loved it! And it gave a father and son some time together and a shared love of comics and heroes.
Wanted to point out that after arguing over the dangers of sharing tech and ideas, we learn Peter shared some replicative formulas with Miles Warren beforehand, which he only learned himself from fighting the Lizard. So Reed ends up being right in the end, and may explain why Peter feels extra guilty over Gwen’s death.
Also loved the episode
Miles Otto & Peter fighting reminds me of solid snake vs liquid Ocelot in MGS4
49:36 Ben's clenching jaw and fists at the clone-not-clone reveal is just... too relatable.
_Worth. Every. Penny!_
“Best” do y’all not know how the CZcams algorithm works, lol. You should put the worst bad story of the year.
Love y’all!!
They already did Heroes in Crisis.
ComiXProvider FTW_02 too true! Bet it’s gonna get more views.
I love Spider-Man life story such amazing story and sal you’re right one hundred percent right this is one of the best Spider-Man stories we had in a decade which is fantastic.
Ethan: Why'd he put her in a tube?
Ben: Because thats where they go.
LOL
Bens great
The original films by Raimi focused on just Spidey are incredible. To see ONE person, that goes through what we do. He has these amazing abilities but has to follow a path that leads him into redemption and loss, focusing on just Spiderman is incredible. It gave so much weight to what ONE person who gains these abilities can do, and what they can go through, that tests their moral and principles. To show what he stands for and what he’s willing to do to follow his calling as the man he’s meant to be. A beacon of hope, a selfless hero with the power to save those in need of someone to look up to and follow. The Raimi films are masterpieces. All 3.
Also just finished Life Story yesterday. Greatest Spidey comic book I have ever read.
You Raimi fans wonder why people love taking the piss out of your beloved trilogy, but will write an entire passive-aggressive paragraph on why it's the second coming of Christ the second someone suggests they have a single issue or critisim of them.
Stop trying to force your opinions on others, and people will eventually just move on.
I just bought this digitally today. I enjoyed the story, and my favorite line from Spider-Man in this book is when he speaks to Captain America about being old men and needing to make the world better before they leave.
Spider-Man Life Story is one of the best comic books I ever read, and I am so glad ComicPop loves it as well.
Peter works best for me when he is alone. No mentors or teams just him fighting his baddies and juggling responsibilities alone. New york is his just like superman and batman
But other heroes live in NYC
I agree I hate team ups I prefer hero’s when they are alone.
Nah.
I've been looking forward to this episode for a while. Seeing Sal said he almost cries I think it's gonna be a hell of a ride.
Chip's Spectaclar run was also pretty good after it's 1st arc.
He took Sal’s comments like how Peter took the great power and responsibility speech
I want a Dick Grayson: Life Story. By the time we get to the Tom King super spy run he'd be like 80 so he would essentially be Nick Fury.
Pausing...OH MY GOD! That line to Reed, about you know what and Sue...I think I had a genuine jaw drop and said OH SNAP right along with ben lol
I can’t believe Mark Bagley doesn’t draw every Spidey book ever.
I've been meaning to say this for a while but thanks so much for covering this story, I'd never heard of it before and having since picked it up it's become my favourite Marvel comic book. Seriously, you guys make such informative and entertaining content, you've now got me going on eBay buying cheap second hand copies of the Ultimate Spider-Man run and man, it's crazy to think how much I just ignored before finding you guys a few years ago, keep up the great content.
Chip Zadarsky has written some flawed titles imo. But damn was Spider-Man: Life Story one of the best Spider-Man/comicbook stories I've read of the last 10+ years. Simply beautiful.
The Saga is amazing. But it seems the only Universe were The Richards Family love each other and kick ass Is in the 616.
i think this is the first time I’ve teared up to a back issues. And it makes sense it came from a story from my favorite superhero .
imagine how silly J Jonah Jameson is in context of Spiderman being the only superhereo
Spider-Man Life Story is one of my favorite comics, watching him age and live his life. The final issue while listening to the sandman theme kinda may have made me cry. Amazing
I need to see Spidey and Ol Horn Head together on-screen!!
I got this trade for christmas, pretty much at random, and i was totally absorbed. Read almost the whole thing in an afternoon and loved it.
This is also kinda in tune with DC Superman-ish, SECRET IDENTITY. That was a good book as well.
This story is my favorite story of the 2010s of the whole decade this was my favorite
This story is worth making an animated mini-series about. Just one season, maybe 2 or 3 episodes covering a decade of Peter’s life. Although, one major change I would do is make it more book-ended like Sal suggested by having the series start with Peter refusing to stop the burglar and then ending with Miles putting on his new suit to stop a current burglar.
I may have gasped and yelled louder than Ethan and Ben at the Gwen reveal
This comic > Dan Slott entire run. Life Story was incredible.
Yes, but Dan Slott still had a bunch of great stuff in his run, Spider man issue 600 hundred is great.
F Britannia yes but he’s also done A LOT of damage to Peters character
@@fbritannia He's a genuinely good Spider-Man writer, but his problem is that he hates Peter. That's why Superior Spider-Man is one of the best Spider-Man stories out there but TASM Vol. 4 is the worst volume.
@The Amazing Spider-Man I really don't remember asking.
i got butterflies when i saw "life story" lmao
This story is awesome, I love the Bagley art. I would personally change the ending, I wish it had ended more quietly but this series was awesome
I love watching Back Issues. I also love having Back Issues on in the background while reading TMNT hardcover collections. I also love beer with both. Or whiskey. Mostly whiskey. Cheers.
Love the fact that you guys cover modern and classic stories, the deepest dives I see around as far as conversarions
I think Life Story was the perfect example of a Marvel Line I would like to see that I've been thinking about for the last few years. Basically do what Life Story did, set the stories in real time, however you instead would start from the Golden Age (1920-1940) and work up. Ideally I would love to start with westerns but starting with the Golden Age is already an uphill battle for modern readers I imagine. Have a huge focus on continuity and only producing stories worth telling (aka minimal filler with the main books being mini series and graphic novels). I think I'd be pretty cool to see the focal point be on heroes you don't often see or new ones entirely because heroes and villains would age out or die but also allows you to keep the main universe intact. You'd still be able to see your big players, especially ones who don't age all that much or slowly but they would often take a back seat or used as a starting point to get a sense of the world and its players.
The world we see would also be shaped by the events that transpire instead of trying to completely mimic our world. An alien race visits the world for the first time? That's a huge deal. Real world events could be completely altered or phased out to be something completely different. Maybe WW2 lasts longer and isn't about jews but about mutants, maybe a Vietnam like event takes place in Latveria. Either way the world would be shaped by these events and technology and characters would reflect the foundations built into this world instead of just our world with our history essentially serving as inspiration more so historical events.
If it wasn't already being used for reprints I would call the line Timely. I think you get a couple writers on board who generally love the lore of the Marvel Universe and allow them to build something from the ground up you could very well have something special and very different than what you already have while also maintaining the spirit of the Marvel Universe. Also with fewer titles and more important titles reading it all wouldn't be a task and a half nor would you get issues that don't really go anywhere. Also the small amount of titles would allow for the writers to not have to focus 100% on this line and given that you start in the golden age the stories being told would be very different.
The biggest hurdle for a line like this would be maintaining quality and keeping to the values throughout its run. As the writers, editors, and artist age out as well.
So Doc Ock turned the ending into "Get Out" lol.
Sal sung the praises of this book for a year and I just assumed it was him being the sentimental, old-school Spidey fan he is. Never wanted to read it... Man, I missed something special.
I almost wish that tzdarsky did the art for the book, those covers are spectacular
Now waiting for Donny cates thanos and dc dark night metal
I swear, every time I have a bad day at work Back Issues knows and does one of my favorite books.
BEAUTIFUL.
I started watching backissues 3 years ago I've grown so fond of you guys.
Keep up with your videos, you guys are the best!
I'm from Mexico btw
Throwback to when Sal said Zdarsky would never agree to come back on Elseworlds Exchange.
*sees thumbnail*
Me: That art is beautiful..
*sees thumbnail later on*
Me: Still beautiful..
*sees thumbnail now*
Me: Truly beautiful.
I'm glad that Invisible Woman left reed to be with Namor their a better fit in my opinion
What an amazing story. I was waiting for this since sal expressed his love for it on off the rack! Zdarsky should definitely write the main title in the near future
Dude you guys have been on fire with back issues since the new year started. This is great, keep it up!
I'd kill to see every issue of Life Story done as 20 minute animated shorts that keeps the art style intact.
I literally bought “Life Story” 2 weeks ago and i knew from Off The Rack when Sal stopped detailing issues that you guys would do this soon... then y’all did HoX & PoX recently and it gave me hope you would do more recent runs. Thanks i loved this story and the way you told it made me love it more
The closest thing we had to a story like this was Bendis Ultimate Spider man
3:16 Agreed 💯! That’s Why I wish Marvel Studios Owned The Spider-Man Franchise
She's flexible for a little bird....Jesus. I'm not gonna lie, I laughed out loud at that. I love Back Issues. I put in on when I have a bunch of work to do, but don't want to do it. It makes my day easier. Thanks guys!
I like how, even when Sal tries to compliment Zdarsky, he somehow ends up making passive-aggressive comments about Zdarsky.
This is what I've always wanted with Spiderman and comics in general. This is how you pass a torch to another Spiderman. I alwuas wanted Peter to retire at some point and live his life where miles could take on his role and go to him for advice when he's in a pinch. This allowed for a little bit of that and I'm glad it's out in the world.
I love this story. It's really a tribute to Spider-man and to all his fans that are connected to him. As someone who grew up with spider-man i can say that this hit every note almost perfectly. The ending almost had me in tears the first time I read it, I was afraid to read it again just because I thought I wouldn't appreciate it in the same way. But you guys did a great job! I glad you covered this!
This was a great story and one of my FAVORITE Back Issue episode. Much love yall!
Sal at the end of book I thought Miles in the classic spidersuit doing when he never did
I have food poisoning and couldn’t go to school today. Really needed this today ^^😁
I almost don't read superhero comics anymore (Mostly sci-fi, indie, fantasy, etc), but this alongside Invincible rekindled my love. It was such an amazing (no pun intended) story, I wish we got 2 issues per decade instead of just one, but it was almost perfect.
Also, one of my favorite things about Judge Dredd is that he has actually gotten older, in real time. He's like 70 now, that's this... but it was actually done as the comics came out.
Well thats a When are you gonna do this comic comment i wont get to make
I'm getting this book for Christmas as well as Tom Defalco's original Spider-Girl run, Pete Hine's original Spider-Man Noir storyline, and Kraven's Last Hunt. I'm also hoping to get Crisis On Infinite Earths, Batman Dark Victory, Batman Year One, and Justice League: The World's Greatest Superheroes by Paul Dini and Alex Ross.
This is genuinely one of my favorite comics ever
This is really good as a big fan of Spider-Man I love this, Thanks Comic Pop for showing me another great Story since I can barely get comics where I'm from
40:03 this is 100% what the next games gonna do
It’s always good to wake up to a Back-Issues episode. 😂
I feel like you could do a “Life Story” for Robin/Nightwing or Superboy/Jon Kent because I think the life story works for a teen hero instead of a hero in their late 20s/mid 30s. That’s why Spider-Man Life story works so well.
I’m super happy you guys did this story! This is I think the only story I didn’t get a chance to read last year. Keep being amazing guys!
8:06 I was really hoping that Ben would finish the joke as "I'll set you off...off a BRIDGE!"
Peter telling Otto/Miles is like a call back to JL where Batman tells Clayface, "You over played your part yo."
26:15 Epic reaction
1:02:12 Yeah, that's exactly what i think the First Time.
I actually clicked the link and bought a copy of something on back issues for once
I absolutely love this story! I picked up the floppies last year and bought the trade paperback today. Mark Bagley is one of my favorite Spider-Man artists and Chip Zdarsky did an outstanding job writing
I agree with Sal at the end, I'd really love to see more "Life Story" books for other characters, really cool idea!
Great episode. Your Spider-Man episodes are always my favorites, especially when it's one I haven't gotten to.
Keep up the great work.
Your passion is inspiring.
I think watching sal tiptoeing around twists is fucking hilarious
Their reaction to the Otto reveal!! Had to rewind and watch it a few times
