The Avengers and X-Men Start a WAR! | Avengers/X-Men: Bloodties

[@BillH2949]

You know it's an X-Men story when it takes 18 minutes just to provide context for the actual story...

[@Jellofreeze]

It took 18 minutes because they kept interrupting him with questions

[@NoBody-lj5xh]

@@Jellofreeze Because of their lack of context.

[@Danial_Duval]

ComicPop: We have a whole trade on Force Works. We're never gonna do Force Works. Population: Wait, what? But why? ComicPop: Because it sucks Population: Oh! If it sucks you should totally do it. ComicPop: What did we just say. It's like you're not listening to us. Do you really want us to cover Force Works? Population: Well, since you brought it up and have the entire trade paperback, yeah, you guys should totally do Force Works. Sal: Aaaargh!

[@SeekerLancer]

Force Works isn't even THAT bad until all of the Crossing bullshit starts. There's just not a whole lot to talk about and it also gets interrupted by the "Hands of the Mandarin" crossover event which might be fun for them to look at. Also they should do "The Crossing" because it's one of the worst things Marvel ever did. Someone please buy them that omnibus if they don't have it.

[@ericemanwu]

No no. Linkara handles really bad comics.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Sal should be careful. He's pissing off the Exodus fans. All none of them.

[@paulocosta4744]

We only like Exodus so we can hate him. He's an annoying douche. Besides, his archenemy is actually the Black Knight. Dane Whitman. A guy with a magic sword. An American who speaks with a fake British accent.

[@TupocalypseShakur]

@@paulocosta4744 hit em with the reverse Henry Cavil, David Kaluuya and Christian Bale

[@batfreeze56]

I just saw the wedding ring on Sal's finger and smiled. So happy for you two!!!!

[@SpiralSine6]

He's become a Silver Lantern

Now my Sal and Ethan OTP is finally cannon!

[@willcommon6164]

Did he and Tiffany tie the knot?

[@Tamaki742]

@@willcommon6164 Yeah they're married.

[@mrpink99]

A cute wife who shares his love of comics? Talk about living the dream!

[@Xtra_Medium]

1:04:39 "So then Professor X and Captain America have a tender moment" I eagerly await the fan art for THAT one😁

[@Bl00dwerK]

The X-Men is a soap opera. You either know what's going on or you don't.

[@timshady237]

I’m sorry, but that Sugar Man action figure is pure fucking nightmare fuel

[@liverusrock6789]

timshady like the real Sugarman

[@karl_alan]

I had that sugarman toy as a kid, but didn't have any context for whom or what it was. I literally yelped when you started talking about him and I was finally able to put 2 and 2 together. Loudly enough to worry my wife in another room across the house to come see if I was okay. It's like you just solved a mystery I forgot about 20 years ago.

[@thegorgeousgloriousone9851]

Wouldn't it have made more sense for Wolverine's healing factor to eventually kick back in after being down for so long and be crazy OP since it didn't have to fight off admantium poisoning? I always thought that, but you know, comics.

[@christinelowery2415]

Sugar Man the perfect mascot for cereal with tasty D.N.A. marshmallows. When you add milk they mutate.

[@Aliaskitfisto]

20:33 My favorite reaction of the whole episode. Tiffany: Who's on The Avengers? Sal: Captain America! Tiffany and Ethan: All right! Sal: USAgent * record scratch * Ethan: Who the fuck is that?

[@mattjohnson91]

Saw Sal's ring and spent the next 20 min waiting for Tiffany to unfold her hands

[@IzzysIssues]

That first minute and a half setup was incredible

[@seankensing]

“Who are these…? Never mind, I don’t care” is up there with my favorite Tiffany moments. I laughed out loud.

[@MugenNiFukuzatsuna]

WHOA! HOLD ON! You're telling me two groups of super heroes can come together... and NOT FIGHT?! I'm sorry, I don't buy it. Down-voting, unsubscribing and mailing a box of bees.

[@mttylerdurden9]

SomeFriendlessBastard Sal opens the box:OH NO! NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEES!AHHH!!!!

[@rodney2x48]

Bees. My god.

[@esac7472]

IS IT BEES?

[@erikmussoni9071]

Assuming SHIELD doesn't count as a group of superheroes.

[@Grievousish]

What's this? A KZbin channel woefully underpopulated by bees? A large influx of bees ought to put a stop to that!

[@MicahSps]

Saying that Quicksilver was the problem in that marriage is mind boggling. Name a single time Crystal is not “The Real Housewives production team thinks I’m not doing enough. So let me band the neighbors in Wanda’s book!”.

[@poonda2840]

as soon as sal mentioned forceworks i just released a long, heavy ssssssiiiiiiiggggghhhhh...

[@JoshMunroe]

27:17 Oh, Gambit, you straight-up perv.

[@Oaktree0]

Tiffany bringing back awesome hats onto Back Issues. Can't wait for episode 200, damn tight ship you run Sal.

[@Animalfriend777]

As an X-Men fan I both hate and love X-Men episodes, because Sal's explanations are always at the same time more complicated then they need to be and leave out important details

[@kiko1935]

I love all configurations of the couch but Tiffany/Sal/Ethan works really well

[@redx-man8813]

Wait Sal are you saying that there was a West Coast/East Coast Avengers style Rap War in the mid 90s???!?!?!?!?!?!? 3:00

[@Oaktree0]

West Coast had Rhodie, so they obviously destroyed.

[@TheGreatDevlin]

OMG... When Sal describes the Avengers of this book, it's just the just the post Disney+ MCU

[@jonathanleiman9070]

Man, I forgot about "feral" Wolverine. Thanks for bringing that back up, Sal...

[@FatSnorlax]

Bloodties! The ties that blood! The blood that ties! The blood of Avengers and X-Men! Coming at you now on Back Issues!

[@SolteiroeNerd]

Wow, I just got this trade! Thank you for the video guys! See my ridiculously long name? It's the proof that Comic Pop has Brazillian fans! Lots of love from Manaus, Amazon.

[@natasalways]

feels so weird watching this lol. i havent watched in over a year. i use to be the hugest fan. i started watching at around episode 10ish. i'm gonna have to start watching again, love you guys

Sal mentioning West Coast Avengers, made me think of Jawin's "West Coast Avengers" song.

Hey Sal, your hair looks very nice here

[@austinmijares]

I tried my hardest to keep track of the story, but just couldn't do it, like most X-Men stories from the 90's.

[@superluigiac]

Man, now i want to see all those x-men stories on backissues!

[@andrewmatseshe7343]

Goddamit you guys make me happy. Thank you

[@protochris5287]

If I send you my sweet issue #1 of Force Works with the rad fold out cover, then would you do Force Works? Or at least burn it live?

[@comicpop]

We have it!

[@starvingmartian3037]

I'd love to see the USAgent vs. the KGBeast.

[@Sicod79]

I totally want you to cover Force Works. I read I think one issue of that, so this would explain so much.....

[@ryanbenson4610]

I agree I don’t want a Versus movie either. They just did the Civil War and DC did the Batman vs Superman.

Rogue could get that condom in the Naked Gun movie to resolve that problem.

[@thegreyinitiate3680]

Hey, if you like the blood in “bloodties” then you totally need to do an episode on American Vampire. I will eat Tiffany’s hat if you do. Though it will suck cause that’s an awesome hat.

[@jhamilton1007]

Sal, you really know how to sell a comic arc. Duly noted! 👍

[@Idunnoyouguessit]

If you do Force Works, I'll quit my job and dedicate my weekends to feeding the homeless.

[@megamatt1915]

I was watching the X-Men and Fantastic Four back issues episode just now lol

[@anthonyencinias287]

Exodus actually absorbs just about every type of energy. Physical attacks are the best bet to defeat him if you can get close enough

[@TheIceMann007]

But if he can absorb every type of energy can't he absorb kinetic energy from physical attacks?

[@anthonyencinias287]

Mr.E I said just about every type of energy. You can punch him and it will hurt him it's just being able to get close enough to actually hit him.

[@michaelboyer7253]

the universally panned run on X-Men by writer Chuck Austen.

[@ivansplvd6518]

"Eeeeeh yeah but Magneto kicked Exodus ass in a (crappy) Uncanny X-Men story two years ago" Loved the episode you guys!

Wow superhero team-up I hope they fight 😂

[@MrRoccoandhunter]

Damn Tiffany looks great with the X-Men cap and the big boots

[@MrYTGuy1]

It's 2021. It's crazy to think how well known US agent is now compared to when this came out. He was a nobody. Now millions of people have seen and heard of him.

[@maxpocalypse]

Sal is so good at explaining utter nonsense. You guys make me watch hour long videos about comics I know I will never want to read, because I know the conversation will be so much freaking fun.

[@XazzanXazzan]

Will you do geoff Johns teen titans

[@TheChocoboKid]

Force Works for episode 202!

[@Sp0rkXNinja]

Funny thing about this story is I have 2 issues (issue 1 and 4) of this event. I bought them in a comic bundle at a local big lots back in the early 2000s. They were technically the first comics I ever owned. I thought Exodus design look cool when I was younger. Even though I need to look him up and who is the Cortez guy? I'll watch the video and find out.

[@Sp0rkXNinja]

@@MrEtherOck ok thanks

[@JoshuaOfGrandRapids]

Maybe this has been said, but Death of Xavier and Age of Apocalypse happened between this and Onslaught

[@JClassic305]

I have been laughing non-stop for 3 months at "Force Works"... Of all the combination words in the English language...

[@JohnClark-tt2bl]

Surprised it wasn't ForceWorx, or something similar.

[@Breland1976]

Love this episode

[@darrenwest9091]

House of M is how I would bring mutants into the MCU where Scarlet Witch goes crazy and looses control of her powers.

[@erikmussoni9071]

I know I said "more shitty 90s Marvel" but I have to say that you did a yeoman's work here. This is certainly a complicated story. I did have a mini panic attack when I thought you were serious about Exodus being awesome. He may be the worst X-character ever.

[@davidj.medinag.6524]

Canada was the first place that Wolverine went after losing his Adamantium.

[@Grievousish]

Sugarman looks like a god damn digimon.

[@MashupsByMandy]

Isn't Exodus the annoying bastard that appears at random in the last stage of X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse?

I don't want you to do a Force Works episode. I do want you to talk about the shitty 90's era of Avengers though, but maybe you should just summarize it all at the beginning of a Busiek/Perez Avengers 1998 episode.
