The EPIC crossover battle: Hulk vs Superman!

[@comicpop]

Check out the exclusive chat with Glenn Greenberg! kzbin.info/www/bejne/foW6nqtoh7Rmbs0

[@BrandonDudley-pr6cv]

Rise of Apocalypse would be a good one!

[@catlawyerwilldefendfortrea6038]

What do you get for a Sal who has everything? A copy of Hulk vs Superman because he thought he had it but didn't.

[@ThexVaultxTech]

Best comment here. Everyone thought they had a copy but didn't.

[@priceyyeti4058]

"What made you think you had it?" "I have NFL SuperPro!"

[@Aaron-zt5ee]

I have an issue of NFL Superpro. It was… a comic.

[@Ducaso]

I can see where he's coming from when you put it that way. 😂

[@titolove6895]

"Did you read it when it first came out?" "Hell no " 😂😂😂😂

[@seand7042]

That's probably a literal nightmare this guy has where he is about to do a show and then you can't find the book ..... That's probably happened like 3 times

[@ChristopherZubin]

"But we're not here to talk about Deathblow." Deathblow tangent continues for another 10 minutes :)

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Love it if Lex didn't program RoboHulk to get Betty. It started developing feelings for her on its own. And then Hulk destroys it. The beautiful thing is that by the time of this story, Betty was already gone and could've joined it in the afterlife. If it wasn't a soulless robot, of course.

[@infernaldisdain8051]

**Vision crying intensifies**

[@PEEJ432]

The Glen Greenberg interview is probably one of my favorite ep can’t wait to watch this back issues

[@Sicod79]

An even more amazing parallel. Both names Bruce Banner and Clark Kent phonetically sound the same with the first letter of both their first and last name! Astounding!

[@TupocalypseShakur]

Bruce's first name is actually Robert

[@dylanbimberg]

Wow! With so many obvious similarities, it's a wonder why they hadn't crossed over sooner!

[@thewilhelmscream7912]

They both have darker colored hair too, and they both wear pants, truly the proof of us living in computer simulation knows no end!!!!

[@ziggy_425]

Fun fact, that's called alliteration. Stan lee used to do that a lot with his characters like Bruce banner and Peter Parker for example. It's also because it was easier for him to remember names lol

[@vp_wrld]

@@ziggy_425…we know. That’s the joke

[@masenguerra7835]

I loved the interview Sal did on the book, the whole behind the scenes of 90s comics is so fun to learn about.

[@robphoenix1182]

Soloman Grundy vs. Hulk makes a bit more sense to me.

[@egorruzhin1866]

Sal’s hyped being “WHOAH!” is an instant classic!😂😂😂

[@HollowGolem]

So, I looked it up because you guys were talking about General Lane and General Ross. Sam Lane isn't THAT much older. He shows up first in Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane #13 from 1959, so he's less than a decade older than General Ross and a relative late-comer to the Super-mythos (still pre-Silver-age, though)

[@BigGucciCholo]

Was just about to mow the lawn, thanks for this

[@spheremode3271]

Those similarities are insane. I never thought of it that way but: both have women with general fathers as their primary love interests. They're both insane powerhouses, but one lacks control while the other is in full control. They both have nebbish nerd alter egos. They're both science based heroes who have mad genius arch rivals.

[@cladladd]

"Hulk kinda sucks" -Sal

[@bensneb360]

Nice, The Green Giant vs the Blue Boyscott… I love alliteration lol

[@comicpop]

Buy this story and THE REST in the DC vs Marvel omnibus! amzn.to/3QvFPKo

[@sollyswolly1623]

31:15 If they made one now.... Hulk grows spikes and becomes like Doomsday? o_o

[@idongesitusen5764]

She-hulk crossing over with Supergirl would be fun.

[@ivansplvd6518]

5 min in I'm already laughing like a... Batman who laughs I guess hahah, love this show, thnx comicpop for being great

[@Ashguy733]

No matter what you guys do Im always here for it. You have gotten me to pick up books id never think to. Great stuff.

[@Peecamarke]

Dangit man, didn’t think y’all were gonna get me to laugh this episode but ya managed to do it! 😂

[@alanblanks]

It was about 8 minutes into this I realized this was a separate event from Amalgam. Thats how under the radar this was to me. Thank you for the video!

[@jacob_ian_decoursey_the_author]

30:42 Okay why the hell hasn’t Marvel knocked on Sal’s door to write an issue or two? This is great! Somebody better start making some calls.

[@zionharris9432]

Better call sal?

[@mollieh4426]

I aspire to have a comic book collection where I forget what I have 😂

[@ctl6985]

As much as Sal likes the world where these heroes exist together he always pokes holes in why that wouldn't work. It wouldn't make sense for all the same things to have happened and yet none of them ever interacted

[@Amuro1X]

As if that problem doesn't already exist in the regular DC/Marvel universes.

[@Damiandoesart99]

The best back issues are informed by your interviews, thanks for the eps as always!

[@bergerchicken]

I am so onboard with these Marvel/DC episodes. Keep it up Comic Pop!

[@drdondarion141]

Hulk Superman has so much damn potential really should be an incredible long tale of duel failure and confusion

[@fl8m76]

You should link interviews and such related to your back issues more often. It gets me to actually watch them. Sort of a "do you want to know more?"

[@nerdpocalypse5004]

🤓 According to "The Atlas of The DC Universe" Gotham is in Southern New Jersey and Metropolis is across the river in Northern Delaware

[@Ducaso]

37:00 It's too true and that makes it soo funny!🤣

[@PowerPackers90]

i just love how these crossovers are possible again just because Disney and WBD are merging streaming services to compete with Netflix and Peacock streaming merger.

[@FakeItWithMe]

Believe it or not been waiting all day for this

[@SutargozTheKaijuFromKrypton]

I had no idea Stan Lee was originally going to write this. It would of been quite a read to behold. I have this in trade form as back in Christmas of 2006, my aunt would get me the DC/Marvel trades for Christmas presents. I got them all before they went out of print, save for the Amalgam collection and yep, even have JLA/Avengers

[@andresirizarry503]

29:20 everybody JUMP!

[@benreilly4347]

Thank you for being such a great source of entertainment every Wednesday and Monday!!

[@antdujar]

One of my fave crossovers that I own. Fun to see you guys cover this!

[@dedbatt8869]

Great episode guys

[@jabezcreed]

36:10 - Like Bugs Bunny dressed up with a wig? Lol

[@rainpunk]

Please Sal link the interview you did with the editor!

[@Hulkzilla0]

Always happy to see more of Hulk and Superman!

[@michaellabonte6390]

Love watching this after the podcast

[@darcy7384]

When Ethan said jump around me and Ben had the exact same reaction 😂.

[@hineschris9934]

I've been waiting for this one

[@Cthulhu83]

Didn't expect a reference to The Cranberries.

[@nicksmyth4050]

1:15:50 And Sal looks like he’s gonna turn into the Hulk at that comment

[@NKJonSnow]

Week 5 of demanding you cover the Books of Doom and What If Secret Wars and ALL OBEY DOOM!!!

[@flywheelshyster]

I love that you already got a laugh out of me and it hasn't ecen been 25 seconds 😂 Back Issues is best Issues

[@ComicKing2814]

YOOO, DK2 on the shelf????? We getting a redux….👀

[@JayDay01]

Who wants to be a superhero 😂😂 comicpop remembering the stuff we'd rather forget.

[@hatredlord]

Fun fact: in Smallville, kryptonian technology was kryptonite-based. Sometimes. More specifically, the octagonal disk that controlled Clark's ship, the local native caves, and probably some other stuff, was made of kryptonite, just covered in some plastic or metal or something.

[@drdondarion141]

Hulk Superman makes my head hurt what a match up I guess hulk wins in the end but should be an exceptional many episode tale may be best mash ever

[@WhatIsItAboutThem]

Me everyday: 10:12 deadass

[@curtisashby768]

This is the MOST EPIC crossover battle EVER!!!

[@michaelnichols5023]

Awesome guys.

[@codystork3008]

I was trying to come up with what Lois' outfit is called and all I was coming up with was Hee-Haw despite seeing Michael Bay Transformers. Thanks Ben I can update my popculture refrences to be slightly less dated.

[@vitanpatel2061]

Awesome!

[@lukemillican5920]

I think u guys should do "Batman Night Cries"

[@The_Albino_Jackal]

Why is Batman crying at night

[@grimandbilly005]

I didn't know these two crossed over, I'm shitting hulk sized bricks now!

[@jonfedien8637]

Sal saying it wasn't in the longbox had already piqued my interest!

[@jeremyjohnson9053]

Is there comic pop karaoke on the patron? I would like to hear the whole rendition of Zombie

[@terrrrmus]

Kryptohulk

[@joshnunya324]

Knew this was coming

[@robphoenix1182]

Ben, one better, Boss Hogg! 🤣

[@fatenabu1]

So at one time Gotham was in NJ and Metropolis was in either Connecticut or Delaware. I don't remember which. I want to say Delaware. Central City was in Missouri. Keystone was in Kansas. DC use to make an atlas of the DC Universe. The places may have changed. In theory though Gotham and Metropolis could be across a bay from one another

[@mattd404]

I love the kryptonite hulk idea!

[@TevyaSmolka]

Ooh hulk vs Superman sign me up and this sounds really awesome and badass.

[@jabezcreed]

It's hypertime, Sal!

[@lsgreger2645]

After the Millennium event in post Crisis, John Byrne even made Lois resent Clark even more. She put together that Superman had a connection to Smallville so she confronted Clark at Ma and Pa Kents' farm about being Superman. Ma and Pa Kent interrupted and lied saying they found Superman's pod while she was pregnant with Clark and they raised Superman in secrete with Clark. Of course Lois believes this, and is even more resentful to Clark for scooping her only because of his "connection" to Superman.

[@robphoenix1182]

Luther's secret plot! Use the Hulk to still the South's BBQ!! That is why the robot had a stomach! 😏👉👉

[@badboi6247]

I have a copy of a book Sal doesn’t have what timeline is this?

[@hrishiv27]

Clearly Lex learned from building a Hulk-shaped robot to fight the hulk, when he tried to fake Superman’s laser vision in BVS (i think, i don’t 100% remember that whole plan).

[@Franwub]

Ethan was on top form for this video

[@dionysisnance4204]

Today just got lot better

[@NavySealz21]

Superman’s boots look just like the new movie pics.

[@Intoxicatedbymalice]

Just read this like 3 days ago. It’s… a comic that stuff happens in. It’s actually not that bad.

[@samuellemos7306]

The real question of this story is: where were the Hulk when doomsday show up and killed SuperMan, and is Hulk stronger than doomsday?

[@joshrowland7605]

I like the batman daredevil crossover, but I gotta hand it to punisher batman as my favorite I've read.

[@Bob78550]

Thanks! Hey Sal, I started a petition a while back to get a JLA/ Avengers 2. I am NOT nobody. I sent my fan fiction to marvel and dc. How would you make people aware of the fact that people would like this to be done?

[@ShudderingSeagull]

WOO0O00 CROSSOVERS!

[@andresirizarry503]

Krypto-Hulk... you heard here first 🤔

[@tylerferguson3193]

Hope you're having a good day

[@zion831]

Peter Griffin is the same with mirrors

[@michaellabonte6390]

Its still precrisis but aftwr the crisis retconned changes? Thats my understanding

[@fcm3d]

YES!

[@lawpreacher2000]

General Sam Lane and General Thaddeus Ross

[@ianmckee4726]

I dug Stan Lees superman from Just Imagine. A grizzled space cop stuxk on Earth fighting crime so someone can sfford to build him a spaceship to go home. Hilarious

[@ninja1man4u]

Like for the jokes and sub for the comic history lessons. Now I hope they eventually cover superman/Fantastic four

[@michaellabonte6390]

Yooo 🙏

Is this a repost? I swear i saw this before 😭

I remember the intro and everything word for word, just within the last couple weeks i watched this for sure . Maybe it's a parallel dimension 😭☠️

[@vidalruiziii1245]

Kryptohulk?

[@multifan1644]

@comicpop Please cover the Rotworld Crossover from New 52 because honestly that is the weirdest and in my opinion worst crossover ever made. Animal Man, Swamp Thing and Frankenstein Agent of S.H.A.D.E. all crossing over. 1 bonus to this crossover is all the issues are actually relevant to the story of the crossover.

[@drdondarion141]

Hulk doomsday is the ticket

Or if hulk was grey and kryptonite made hulk green!
