Could you guys do a playlist of all of Brian Michael Bendis’ Avengers books in reading order? From Avengers: Disassembled to AvX.

Alternative direction for the Wayne Owls and their connection to the mythos....Owlman. Subtly suggesting the corruption of the Waynes.

Great storytelling. Hints of a proto-Batman mythos that you can see if you divine if f you are familiar with the Bat, and a clean story on its own.

Batman: I'm part black, does that mean I can... Slam: I wouldn't.

I think it’s clear that Sal has a secret Onlyfans. 😏

Predator vs Ms. Marvel, but only if Frank Cho draws it.

I think this story was referenced in Web Of Shadows

That comic book flex and humble brag😂

Definitely picking this book up. Would love to see this adapted into a limited MAX series (animated or live action).

Quick question - Does he curse like an angry sailor in real life?

I wish Sal was my friend

Man Tiffany was super angry at this book

One above all bless back issues because I read the first issue of this and wasn't into it but Sal once again introduces us to a book that's bigger than it seems

This story was not very interesting, but your conversation about it was very entertaining.

Best Friends on a Pirate Ship

Absolutely loved this when it came out. And such a good listen as well coming from you Sal. Probably only the second or third episode of back issues that I loved so much that I listened to it twice in a row

Yes I'm with Ben, more saga please!!!

Super poop

Really liked this run

batman having this deep seated racial tension built up inside him kinda makes so much sense 😭

93 there was a bombing at the World Trade Center before 911

The last minute of this episode is a perfect insight to this friend group😂

38:02 is that a flashpoint reference?

Back like i never left

25:37 Did anyone else notice that Steve Rogers in that middle panel looks like a muscular Stan Lee?

I don't even want/need to read this. your commentary is MORE than hilarious enough.

Ghetto blaster AKA boom box🤦

Damn this episode was good

I'll say it if no one else is brave enough: Tom King watched the Trouble episode of Comicpop and said "I'm gonna do that for DC but good."

I'm gonna read this while listening to the LA NOIRE soundtrack. I love me a good noir story and it happens to be the origin of gotham as we know it

Glad you did this! Picked up the issues as they were coming out on the author's name alone and was happy with its noir feel.

Did Sal bust out the Strong Bad Techno song? Da emails. Da emails. What, what. Da emails.

I find The Hulk interesting because of his looks. And I'm not just talking about his muscles, but the green skin. I find him and Iron Man to be the two most visually interesting characters at Marvel. I loved the 2003 film, Hulk because of how the character was depicted. It's a god story but the visuals really blew me away.

Crazy that the Bat cave used to be Batman’s Grandpa’s gooncave

Holy crap this was amazing! I'll totally pick this up. Thanks Sal and crew!

Did you guys ever see the new 52 animated movies? The creation of parademons in that is horrific

Okay yeah Jemas & Arad; but what did Howie Mandel have to do with this lol

Tom king is such an excellent writer! His work needs to be in libraries and literature classes. This is great and reminded me of a similar harrowing movie called Ugly by Anurag Kashyap. Excellently told story about a baby getting kidnapped.

WHen Mr. Hyde stomped on a little girl's back, I wanted to kill Jeekl for creating the formula. The Hulk may rage, but he would never do that. Unless we're talking about Ultimate Hulk, in which ase he would eat the girl.

Damn Batman is a quarter Black. That’s pretty badass

I read Titan and Wizard as a teen and loved them. Didn't even know there was a third book! Time for a re-read! These would make for cool movies, but the hermaphroditic centaurs would be tricky 😅

Did I miss the part where they said how Helena died? It wasn't Richard, Queenie, or Constance. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention but all that was said is it was an accident.

Been hearing you talk about this for a while now, glad to see it on Back Issues finally! Definitely gonna pick this book up!

I’ve learned over the years that I really like these “throwback” stories that take place in the past but are written decades after the fact. “Modern” writing seems to know how to treat the past more seriously and earnestly versus the stories that were published in the day.

While Im not the biggest Batman fan I love Gotham City and tales revolving around characters in it. Its why I loved Gotham Central. As an avid Noir Detective fan and King fan this is an immediate pickup for me, this was so good!

What a fun book; will have to pick this up, I think. And for what it’s worth, I think the lack of suspenders helps complete the “rough’n’tumble, disheveled” look more than a savage beating from Ethan and Ben ever could!

Wait a second, that means that Bruce Wayne isn't even actually a Wayne by blood

I apologize for the super chat thing, thought it'd be fun

Sweet j that was a good book
