Legend has it if you say Green Arrow three times CapedJoel appears

[@CosmicNerdStudios]

Batarang Nerd Lol!

[@thomaspierce5835]

Whenever I think about Green Arrow's trick arrows I think of the one time where Sal and Joel were asking the question of who would win Red Arrow (or Speedy or whatever his name is) and Hawkeye. I died laughing because Joel said all you have to do to win is tie a heroin baggy on the end of the arrow and shoot it at his Speedy's feet

[@ghostwarrior3878]

That is tacky

[@hectordubon3487]

"Dufflebags full of money and coke" THE EIGHTIES! 😆😆😆

[@chad8767]

I loved Longbow Hunters because it wasn't a traditional story. It doesn't flow like a setup-middle-end. It meanders a bit, which gives it a lot more of a realism. And I really, really loved the parts of them discussing bringing a child into this world and how they decided the best thing to do was to not have a kid

[@pikapal91]

My name is Sal. With my team of Ben, Tiffany and Ethan we have decided to review and criticize the best and worst the comics industry has to offer. To do this I have to become someone else. I have to become something else. Dun dun dun dun dun ComicPop.

[@treveoneley3610]

Tony Stark I would watch that show

[@pikapal91]

[@SpiralSine6]

If you settle down and have kids at 43, you're dealing with a teenager as you approach 60. Ollie is out of his mind.

[@izzythefizzy4]

The Bastard, KZbin Villain My mom was 40 and my dad was older, I am a teenager now but I am not a complete shit head at least. Or I don't think I am.

[@izzythefizzy4]

Kevin Rivera What counts as stupid?

[@juanmoreno6591]

Have your parents ever waited for you to come home past 1 a.m. and said something like "oh thank god I was so worried"?

[@izzythefizzy4]

No the one time I was out that late I was with my mom and my older brother. I can't see any reason I would be out, I have no interest in party's or anything.

[@nickh4676]

my mom had me at 42

[@Atem_in_the_streets]

I love that whenever they do a book with unique art. Tiff is there.

[@spiderbatman97]

Tiffany: "Oh my god is bees" Batman: "Bees, my god"

[@jacob_ian_decoursey_the_author]

Grell is the ultimate Green Arrow writer. Nobody has been able to top his run.

[@saintlugia]

You think that one of those prostitutes would of stabbed him in the leg.

[@TheIceMann007]

5:10 "BEES, MY GOD."

[@ianmckee4726]

Dinah normally has the short black hair, with a long blonde wig she uses when doing Canary work. At leas that was the case in Chuck Dixons Birds of Prey, which would only have been a few years after this story. I'm sure that has been changed since then, but short hair makes sense with her whole close quarters martial artist style.

[@spiderbatman97]

She just dyed her hair and let him grow permanently around the Gail Simone run.

[@dru-is-here]

So the best episode of Arrow AND a Back Issues episode about a cool Green Arrow run on the same night? This is so fantastic.

[@alzaronwayne5255]

Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't Ollie flat broke at this point? Dinah opened the florist shop so they'd have some kind of income to continue doing the superhero stuff, but if I remember right that's why Ollie takes the money. Also I remember reading somewhere that Dinah loses her canary cry, for a time, because of this story (ptsd trauma and such) but that could be incorrect as well.

[@darknite653]

I've just come home from a shitty day of school, stressful week so far. And this rolls in..a Back Issues episode. That's usually enough to get me out of the wendigo woes, but A GREEN ARROW EPISODE?! My pants are a tightening. Especially since this is my favorite era of the character. I love you guys. Keep on doing what you do.

[@ssnakezz]

13:15 I appreciate the effort of Ben's joke LOL

[@kingcoheed1208]

You do the Drug deal on the mountain to prevent a set up from either side. it's like you three haven't made a high level drug exchange

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Okay, everyone here should know by now that being stabbed through the chest does not necessarily mean death. Ollie is still innoce- *glass shatters* ...Ignore the sound of that one arrow going through the window. And also that one. And that one.

[@HollowGolem]

Shado's actually a big deal in the New52/Rebirth Green Arrow continuity. She was a lover of Robert Queen, and her daughter, Emiko, is Ollie's illegitimate half-sister. At least, as of Ben Percy's run starting around the DCYou era. Ollie and Shado have a much more antagonistic relationship now.

[@kevinlevin9651]

All that is mushed up in arrow series

[@Sicod79]

Nice thing about this vid is you can tell it is a story that Sal really had something to say about, you know he wasn't counting on Green Arrow for widespread views.

[@NilFox]

15:14 Dude both Tiffany and Ethan give this look once the comics gets too ridiculous.

[@TheTheDontae]

Shhhhhh if you listen quietly you can hear Joel's pants tighten...

[@self-satisfiedsmirk5544]

Amazing Zero I know that you are joking, but if you listen closely, you can hear what I'm assuming is Sal's cat in the background. Maybe I can hear it because I have earbuds on.

[@levismith4515]

Black Canary is generally brunette but wears a blonde wig. or at least that's how it is is green lantern/green Arrow

[@flywheelshyster]

oh thank god the debate was sucking my soul dry

[@Koitusinteruptus]

I wonder if they based the serial killer in the comic on the real world serial killer 'the Green River killer'?

[@JoshMunroe]

So weird to have a DC story take place in a real city. I would've also loved for Green Lantern to appear and say he wanted to visit because Seattle is... the Emerald City.

[@yolanda8563]

I watched The Batman as a kid and loved it even the weird bouncey joker

[@yolanda8563]

ComicEnthusiast? Hey... why not I'd watch that over Gotham any day of the week.

[@jakemurphy4832]

I dug it. I watched every episode every Saturday on KidsWB. Mr. Freeze was legit.

[@williambrown873]

Lots of fun fight scenes in the early episodes. Still love that first fight against Penguin #afewtricksipickedupintheorient.

[@yolanda8563]

What's the concensus on The Batman vs Dracula? Cause I'm still holding out for a Batman and Dracula: Red Rain adaption.

[@williambrown873]

iBourne xx 1994 Ain't Shakespeare, but it's a fun popcorn flick. I watch it every Halloween.

[@SoulGameTheory]

I've been waiting for this since I started reading comics.

[@thegorgeousgloriousone9851]

Ollie, Green Arrow, undercover Ollie- all mustache/beard goatee thingy and no one pins it

[@superherocrew3625]

I've got an idea for a back issues. The warlord by mike Grell

[@caitlinbrewer4843]

Ollie really shouldn't be allowed to have kids. This attempts at parenthood have over all been a failure.

[@eggsbenedictcucumberbatch4336]

Caitlin Brewer well Ollie did have kids and he was a great dad before the reboot, you're forgetting that he did raise 2 adopted kids on his own and Dinah raised an adopted daughter so they know how to be parents, they just didn't want to have their own kids because they thought their enemies would kill them.

[@flywheelshyster]

so this is where Chris Ray Gun got his name!

I've lived in Seattle all my life and I'm loving this. Duffel bags and cocaine for everyone!

[@vincentbrown4009]

If there arent any longbows, then I will be slightly disappointed. Keep up the good work Sal and friends!

[@luckiller019]

just finished Longbow arrow and fallowing Grell run. My favorite part. The main villain of Oliie is literally CIA. And I love it

[@spencereschmann6914]

I read this for the first time 2 weeks ago. This is awesome

[@interregnum_]

Yes--Fugitive reference! Still my absolute favorite thing about this channel.

[@RJ-Ramen]

Greatest Green Arrow story ever!

[@Martin_TheCollector]

year one is better, but this one is off the chain!

[@jakemurphy4832]

I lost it at Tommy Gunn.

[@Katekyo504]

I want to watch Comic Pop plays Overwatch together now that they made that reference lol.

[@flywheelshyster]

Is tiffany wearing a Jaws shirt?

[@TheRealZubes]

Flywheel Shyster I am!

[@zeboswalt1131]

The Longbow Hunters was awesome and kind of one of the things that inspired the CW tv show. It was cool as was the comic run that came from it. He latter uses the money to open a youth center.

[@sithapprentic03]

it would be really cool to put queen in Portland rather than Seattle.

[@cinemacritic4801]

4:32 Haha 😂👍!! That would have been hilarious if DC decided to give Green Arrow both a hat and a hood 🤣. It reminds me of Jason's helmet with the domino mask underneath 😂.

[@coolintruddle]

Longbow Hunters is a fantastic book. I highly recommend it.

[@robertcorr6971]

Do you plan on doing the sequel to Quiver, Sounds of Violence? It's a fun story and kinda a set up to Batman No Man's Land.

[@MercysLittleShoww]

I can't stop saying "brode swode" now. Lol Where's that clip from?

[@comicpop]

It's from the UK commercial for Hero Quest, but the reference we're making is from this amazing gentleman: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eambpJ9oqqhnbKM

Yeah, so excited to watch this! I have the trade paperback signed by the man himself :)

[@ericsheogorath9978]

This was my favorite Mini series from DC. He winds up donating the money in the first book of the following series.

[@chrisaddis3647]

Did anyone else hear the cat(s). I was thinking where is that strange sound coming from until I remembered that they have a couple of cats there.

[@moseisleyu]

Guess I'm not watching the debate

[@CosmicNerdStudios]

hes keeping up the arrow motif with the shaft...

[@CosmicNerdStudios]

keeping up? sounds like a pun...

[@robinghoshal6771]

despite being a massive GA fan I haven't read this because I'll sick of dark Green Arrow. (I've gotten my fill from Arrow) but after watching this I might get it because it sounds really cool. btw could you review Sounds Of Violence or Archer's Quest?

[@nathanmarkel3390]

Yes!!!

[@user-pw3dt7hd7s]

This feels like a discount batman detective story

[@robphoenix1182]

The original Black Canary (currents mother) did not have powers. Her daughter, I think, gained powers later in her history, too. Grell may have been more used to the mother's bio.

[@robphoenix1182]

7 years later....meh still adding this lol

[@Grievousish]

Sal if you see this, question: Is this story the turning point where Ollie becomes dark and gritty and is then later brought back to being fun by the Kevin Smith story?

[@dawudyelton1392]

had the first 2 issues when it first came out would love to re-read...

[@djsignifier]

At this point I'm pretty sure that Ollie ran out of money, and ran a floral shop to make money for his trick arrows.

[@hsatin20]

I would have liked to have seen the "bone dog" that everyone was disgusted by

[@andrewmatseshe7343]

Arrow!? Goddamnit!!! Lol Love you guys. Best Show on KZbin :)

[@joannicholson4156]

Does anyone know where to get that shirt Ben is wearing?

[@oatmat]

I enjoyed Young Justice, however I don't think it's as good as bruce timm's works or the Original Teen Titans, but I still think its pretty cool. The way I view Young Justice is that it's a great Homage to the Pre New 52 Universe (Ironically as the New 52 began Young Justice was cancelled not to long after) also it was a little too serious at times and other times too goofy but overall pretty fun.

[@eternalvid]

Will You Guys Be Attending Pax East???

[@CosmicNerdStudios]

so your the reason some of my favorite shows got cancelled!? BAD SAL! lol

[@mnnm522]

wasnt ollie with a beard before this story?

Either Quiver by Kevin Smith or Benjamin Percy's Green Arrow Rebirth run

Hey Sal, Tiffany, Ethan and Ben, totally love all your videos, especially Back Issues. It's nerdly awesome!!! Can you please do a review on Marvel's Powerless? I have a copy, and I really would like to see your take on it... Here is a Wikipedia reference for it, in case you need it... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerless_(comics) Thanks very much, and keep on reading...

[@anthonysolano4502]

Young justice had over 1 million views per episode. Thats a lot for a kids program

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

Sal talked about "The Batman"YESS!!! FINALLY. BTAS is great, it's amazing, it's transcendent, whatever, but damn I love The Batman. Probably my favorite incarnation of the Batman mythos.

[@Grievousish]

I think that was the first Batman cartoon I ever watched. Didn't watch it a ton but I liked the character design.

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

Grievousish My favorite Joker is from that show. With his super saiyan jester hair, crazy deep and light voice shifts and rubber bandy movement.

[@Grievousish]

It's Over 9000 Productions i vaguely remember a special where dracula shows up and turns people into vampires.

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

Grievousish that was a movie. The Batman Vs Dracula. And it's probably the darkest thing from the show. (And probably from a cartoon in general ) joker literally bathes in blood until he's completely black and looks like a vampire demon.

[@Grievousish]

It's Over 9000 Productions that's metal as shit. Also since vampires are brought up i'm contractually obligated to bring up Jojo

I'm confused. Everyone says that Longbow Hunters is their favorite Green Arrow story but everybody hates the show Arrow because Ollie kills, or did.

[@MercysLittleShoww]

And by "everybody" I mean "a few people I talked to."

[@eggsbenedictcucumberbatch4336]

Mercy's Little Show well he killed and dealt with dark stuff but his personality is still the same. arrow from the show is just like batman in personality so thats why people hate it.

why does black canary have short black hair in this?

She always did and the blonde hair was a wig. Then they had her bleach it and Grow it out when she stopped doing the identity thing. Her and green arrow both casually stop doing that
