    I love it when y'all point out how terribly written some comics are. It's very real and honest assessment, which I don't think many comic book youtubers do. Keep it up guys.

    I was a major marvel nerd back in the 80s. I slavishly bought all of Atlantis Attacks. This series was one of the things that stopped me buying comics. I found your summary painfully accurate and I laughed my arse off. Bravo lads. Keep em coming!

    At the end of Secret Wars II, the Earth is being torn apart - The Molecule Man and Silver Surfer pull the Earth back together. It was one of the most vivid memories of my comic book reading youth. The Surfer's power is awesome.
    Also - great video; very entertaining!

  • @langleymneely
    @langleymneely Před 8 lety +6

    OMG! I love watching you guys go over terrible stories like this on Back Issues! It's often more entertaining than discussion on good or iconic comics! Lol These are always a wonderful window into the social and creative moods of the era in which they were written! I.E. "Great scott, I hope I don't hurt these fragile lady heroes too badly!" lmao! As always you do a fascinating job celebrating comics history, for better or worse!
    Also I can't believe Miss Thing (Thang if you're nasty!) was an actual thing! (Pun intended!) Aww... the 80s and 90s! As always, keep up the great work!

    Bless you all for reviewing this story. I remember getting a few Spider-Man annuals that crossed over with it back when it came out and was VERY confused. I think the AMS annual had the Abomination in it for some reason.
    Now I know it wasn't worth reading up on. The only reasons I have any knowledge of this story and Evolutionary Wars was the "What If?" comics that came out about them.

    amazing, I didnt know how non sensical the original story was. I think I heard this event referenced once in the avengers assemble cartoon. well it was the first time I heard of attuma and he invaded new york in the first season and then later he would look for the serpent crown.

    @KWHere2 Před 3 lety

    5 years late and I'm pretty sure I already said this once, but a Wizard from Conan was also a major villain in an X-Men story arc where he trapped Manhattan in a time bubble or something I don't remember. I also don't know if he was the same one from the movie. Kulan Gath was his name I believe.

    @ineptgamer3814 Před 6 lety

    Didn't Galactus try to eat the Earth to kill the baby Celestial before it hatched..? The Eternals' purpose is to protect the baby, I think. Also, the Eternals are a Patheon of "Gods" much like the Asgardians, so they're not overly powerful. This is why I don't understand people who think Thanos is more powerful than Thor. Sure, with the Infinity Gauntlet Thor has no hope, but without it Thanos has been beaten into submission by Thor twice that I can remember. Let's be honest, Thanos wouldn't stand a chance against Odin.
