This is one of the MOST fun Back Issues in a long time. Sal should do more 90's adventures from his childhood they always make killer episodes.

[@Hoffmanniac]

Between this and Venom Deathtrap, I’m loving the ongoing saga of Thunderball being the most competent villain around being forced to work with absolute morons.

[@bottlecap7533]

Shit like that is what I love comics for man; these books have gem characters that you find that'll stick around with you 😭

[@comixproviderftw_02]

Before there was Red Hood, before there was The Winter Solider, there was Midnight. P.S. The Secret Empire just makes me wish there was an “The Office” style tv show, portraying how incompetent they all are.

Also remember Bagley himself a little annoyed as he was just coming off a big team book of New Warriors, had hoped to have a break with a solo hero like Spider-Man...and then his first big story on ASM is a multiple character team-up that's a sequel to a story from another character's book.

[@Tamaki742]

Bagley : Dammit I have to draw Spiderman AND some shitty characters.

[@TevyaSmolka]

I have never heard of this story before especially with Spider-Man teaming up with moon knight punisher and darkhawk because this team up sounds really awesome and tons of fun.

[@Anynom]

Sounds that way, execution not as good. But, as they said, it's fun to have a six issue storyline that is a lot more action than guys standing around talking for most of an issue.

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@Anynom true on paper this sounded like a cool idea but execution wise like you said this sounded like a complete and utter mess which is a shame because all 4 of these characters really awesome and deserve a way better team up story then this but oh well at least like you said it has action then guys standing around and talking for most of this team up story.

[@94evangelion]

@@TevyaSmolka this may sound like a hot take- but most 90s Spider-man comics is pretty good, even the Clone Saga had a couple of good stories. Honestly, its only gets real bad when John Byrne arrives & does the Gathering of Five/Final Chapter storyline that leads into the dreadful 1999 relaunch.

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@94evangelion Indeed and honestly in my opinion I am one of the few people who actually maintained the 90's clone saga did actually have some good stories especially with Peter parker and Mary jane being married and her becoming pregnant with there child little mayday parker spider-girl made me so happy and I was excited to see them become parents in the future, sadly unfortnately we all know how that went badly with little mayday parker getting kidnapped by Norman Osborn and the gather of five story like you said being the final nail in the coffin for Peter parker and Mary Jane's child Mayday parker and her getting killed and replace for aunt may who no one wanted to come back to life myself included, which lead to the terrible awful 1999 relaunch of Spider-Man which was just garbage on so many levels it ain't even funny.

[@94evangelion]

@@TevyaSmolka what are your thoughts on Defalco's original plan for the Gathering of Five?= where Baby May gets rescued & Norman Osborn is truly killed off once & for all. In Defalco's view, he thought this was the best way to salvage the damage left behind by the clone saga

[@camerond4689]

I've enjoyed how far Ben and Ethan comic book knowledge has come. Ben actually remembers the name of Mary Jane's soap opera secret hospital

33:00 "Regular or menthol?" I haven't seen that movie in 20 years, and I can see the scene in my head with perfect clarity.

Some of my very first comics that I fell in love as a kid with were random issues from this storyline, so this is a great surprise!

[@enrajbroin]

As somebody who went on an insane quest to read all of Amazing Spider-Man (currently around issue 500 I think? Haven't continued in a bit) it's always fun to see you bring up random stories nobody talks about from there.

[@fragile4408]

How’s the binge been

[@MrFaceNumeroUno]

Agreed. And wait you started at issue 1 onward? Super amazing feat. I intend to read every Spidey titled comic in my lifetime if possible. Amazing, Web Of, Spectacular, Sensational, Self-titled, Ultimate anyhow.

[@enrajbroin]

@@fragile4408 very very mixed and mostly just atrocious when I got.to the 90s haha. I am now at JMS' run though and that's been fun.

@@MrFaceNumeroUno every spider-man appearance as well or only the ones that Spidey titled in? Will you be reading Marvel Teamup as it was basically a spider-man book?

This is peak comic books in my eyes really takes me back.

[@Sicod79]

This was back when I was buying Marvel comics, and up until like a couple of years ago I never got the first part of this story...I finally got it in trade and I will enjoy my 90s comics gosh durn it to heck. Also, Cardiac, the doctor who will kill you, for medicine, is 90s exemplified.

[@dwise23710]

Cardiac was pretty cool in Superior Spidey if I remember correctly

[@Frenchy_47]

I thought you’d be able to do the Marvel team up from the 2000’s where Spider-Man, Moon Knight, Captain America and Wolverine fight the Ring Master. It’s such a good story and also includes Sleepwalker, Luke Cage, Punisher and Blade.

This was absolutely hilarious. What a joy ride! Definitely a new back issues classic. Thanks Comicpop team!

[@nathanielrambo3447]

I love Moon Knight so much. Seeing more Jewish heroes get representation is great. Y’all should cover the Jeff Lemire Run of Moon Knight. It’s amazing art by Smallwood, Tiffany would really enjoy the design work that goes into the paneling. The story is subversive and Legion-esq. highly suggested.

[@nathanielrambo3447]

Also y’all mentioned it, WHERE IS ANNIHILATION CONQUEST?!?!

[@maeburekaiser]

I wish the show hadn't leaned so far into Khonshu and the Egyptian stuff so soon. I love seeing Moon Knight at street level.

[@JLD22591]

So glad you decided to cover this. After you brought this story up in an else world's exchange episode a little while back, I went back and reread it. It was the first multi-part comic story I bought for myself from a little thrift shop in my hometown. Young me was drawn in by the number of different superheroes most of which I knew nothing about on the covers with Spidey. It's not the best comic ever written but it is a fun story and I'll always associate it with the joy of discovering new comics and new characters.

[@nigelflood7074]

This episode of Back Issues fecking awesome , the Seekers bit had me in stitches lol.

[@Tamaki742]

I can't breathe at "punching wood"

[@instantbadass]

Been waiting for this all day, my favorite comic arc!

[@Insane-Howl-Cowl]

OMG! Someone else remembers this story! This was out in the heyday of my comic collecting. It was a huge team-up (with Spidey even saying "who's book is this anyway!?" on one cover). Also, it had Night Trasher who talked about how if he had leverage he could turn the tide of battle against a giant armored guy.

[@Insane-Howl-Cowl]

I remember being super pschyed month to month when this came out. When my LCS had this in my in-box I was so stoked.

[@Mr_ULTMT]

I love when ultimate spidey teamed up with moon knight and a ton of other street level guys that was a mess but fun

Can't wait to watch this, I had most of this run and loved it growing up!

[@williamgazca6641]

So I'm flipping through invaders eve of destruction when I get all the way to the back "the monster hunters in the marvel universe"...and who do I happen to see but... "GORGILLA" 😂😂😂 thanks comic pop.

[@travis_mitchell]

Usually when You guys post a video, It’s for a well known book I haven’t read yet, but should read for context. But occasionally In the case of this video, it’s some obscure story that I actually read very recently and have vivid recollection of (and also liked) So this will be fun! Darkhawk is one of the more underrated Marvel characters in my opinion, and with 90s Nostalgia in full swing, I think the Marty Mcfly/Power Ranger gimmick would fit perfectly onscreen, even if it’s comedic.

[@Amuro1X]

This episode was awesome and would kill to see this team again!

[@dannycarmack2044]

Such a great episode

[@KyleBrand]

I think I remember Dark Hawk from some time around the annihilation series. In short, I think the crystal is supposed to overtake his mind, but his mind happens to be strong enough to withstand it. And also there are other powers that he has, which he never knew of, that other "dark hawks" taught him. Also, the other dark hawks are bad guys.

[@HappyOsotogari]

Wow, this brings me back! I read this whole story when I was a kid. It may not be objectively good, but there's some strong nostalgia there.
