Untold stories from inside Marvel Comics in the 90's!

[@rayumbo]

See this is why ComicPop is the best KZbin channel for comics. No other channel is gonna go out of their way to interview an editor from the 90’s that can tell us all these cool things we’d never know otherwise. Great stuff Sal!

[@jacob_ian_decoursey_the_author]

Jerk Comics does. I really recommend his channel. His Dave Olbrich (Malibu Comics) interview is super enlightening!

[@averyshorter1058]

This was amazing thank you for thinking of this Sal! Also the people that insisted/ Insist Peter and MJ get divorced and not get back together infuriate me lol

[@VanCantian01]

It is a CRIMINAL offense to produce so much AWESOME content and have so little recognition. Sal is basically interviewing historical people and they seem to enjoy the conversations 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Awesome job Sal ❤❤❤

[@jameskingman1227]

Man this is sooo interesting. As someone born in 1987, who grew up reading the clone saga, the Peter and MJ marriage being an absolute it is really interesting hearing the perspective of the behind the scenes at the time, and shows in some respects they had no need to worry, I still found Peter relatable, I could just go to older stories to see a young Peter, but found comfort in the fact he and MJ eventually got together.

[@pippy6973]

Sal, THANK YOU for continuing to interview these figures and preserving the history of comics. As an aspiring writer and amateur comic historian you have provided me with absolutely invaluable resources for furthering my knowledge. What you're doing is not just entertaining but also important.

[@matiasmendoza9274]

It's Always interesting to hear Glenn bring interviewed by Sal. Even when he's talking about something like getting MJ and Peter divorced or something that regresses the characters, it's fun and informative. Sal, probably these interviews aren't watched that much, but man you're doing a great job. Keep it that way. Now you only have to get Bill Jemas in here and let him talk about Marville.

[@EnoughMold]

As someone who grew up with my dad's collection of 80s and 90s comics, these episodes with Glenn have been some of the most interesting and fun interviews on the channel to me

[@hikerchris7164]

Its a crime this isn’t reaching more people. As a researcher, these interviews give me LIFE

[@Hi_Just_Fred]

Personally I don't think decisions should be made to shake up the status quo of a character just cuz it's "relatable" Like, MJ and Peter should only have stories surrounding their marriage that make sense for the characters not because there's some idea that relatability above anything else needs to be forced onto the characters.

[@Spthomas47]

I know interviews don't do as well as, I believe, most? For posterity. Worthy work. Thank you, both. ✌🏼🤘🏼

[@jameskingman1227]

It’s great to put some of the rumours to bed. Like Roger Stern wasn’t angry. I think sometimes we just get in our own echo chamber.

[@dedbatt8869]

I didn’t know this was an interview until I clicked the video!

[@Super-Visor420]

Glenn always has interesting stories. Ask him for all the tea on Spider-Man.

[@boneshoes.]

This is such a great episode Sal! I loved it. Hearing about the intricacies of Spider-Man at the time was especially interesting. I can't believe they were considering rebooting him back to high school in a vacuum.

[@Sicod79]

The Secret History of Marvel. And yes, I 100% remember the Dr. McCoy gag from the X-men/Star Trek crossover...and sort of remember Kirk hitting on Jean.

[@Aliaskitfisto]

I love these interviews for their boots on the ground insight into comics. And I hope the creators and editors and everyone involved are happy to get some attention and love too. We as a comic loving audience owe all these folks so much and it's wonderful just listening to them.

[@ryanferriera1785]

Damn notifications. I came here to re-watch some back issues and noticed this. For the first time. ComicPop interviews are always great

[@oyemichavo6]

Great stuff to hear how things were in the 90’s. As a spidey fan kinda hurts to know how much some hated the marriage even then (and now just seemingly the relationship).

[@Iceteague1]

It's always cool hearing folks that worked on the most 90's stuff that Marvel cooked up and them going "you sure you want to do that?"

[@ThePandaSupreme]

Best comic KZbin channel… never disappoints

[@der_benson4478]

This is amazing for people around st the time. Thank you for doing this, Sal. Also, thank you for sticking to your guns with the interviews, somebody has to preserve these people for history..

[@dedbatt8869]

Fantastic interview.

[@colegerlach6721]

My favorite interviews you’ve done have been with Glenn, I would love for you to keep bringing him back!

[@brianscli9567]

Great, great interview Sal! No one does it like this crew! 🙏

[@bretts7072]

Awesome Sal! Excited to watch this interview! Always love when you go under the hood with this history/process stuff

[@PuffPuff903]

This is genuine quality content, thank you for seeking this out and platforming this

[@gettingartsywithalobster1949]

Another really fun and informative interview with Mr. Greenberg! I really hope we got another one!

[@Diana-gw6cu]

I came RUNNING to this one

[@mementomori771]

Someday, we will get the coveted hickman ultimate spider-man interview ❤

[@PuffPuff903]

Sal will get the ten year retrospective

[@bowmancollar3684]

Great interview. I got into comics during clone Saga and Onslaught, so it's really fun for me to see "how the sausage was made"

[@flywheelshyster]

Always like the writer discussions

[@greggoat6570]

Thanks for having Mr Greenberg back!

[@johnnyslider9456]

Fantastic episode love these deep dives into the behind the scenes lore

[@jameskingman1227]

I love “Goblins at the Gate” I remember when I first read it, being in the UK I read my books in compilations of 3 issues every month, so we were always about a year behind America, but we would occasionally get older classic books sprinkled in. When this story came out, it covered the whole issue with a break down of Hobgoblin Lives, and because I had no context I just assumed that Kingsley was always the Hobgoblin. With that and the animated series just basically made me love Hobby.

[@nobodyexceptme7794]

Lol this content aligns perfectly with my interests

[@Chance1106]

Loved the interview Sal! Love learning about the behind the scenes of the comic industry

[@monstermanalex1313]

I loved this, especially the Star Trek stuff

[@hobbes6392]

Always love listening to these interviews even though I have no reverence for some of the subjects I had no idea there was a limited licensed Marvel Star Trek books during the Heroes Reborn era, but I’m always down to learn behind the scenes info about why and how those books and decisions are made

[@nathanmarkel3390]

Fantastic interview 👏

[@TevyaSmolka]

It still bothers me that we never got to see what happened to Peter Parker Spider-Man and Mary Jane daughter being found, mostly because well that story was super important with Peter Parker and Mary Jane finding their daughter mayday Parker spider-girl being found would’ve been amazing in my opinion.

[@asecretboss]

Really love the clone saga and Goblin talk

[@superluigiac]

The man, the myth, the legend!

[@dennisflood7246]

Now I'm going to check out "Goblins at the gate."

[@cardsfan5100]

44:22 The same thing would happen to me. People would think I was my older brother and ask for my autograph. I would say I wasn’t him. They would get mad and call me a liar. Good times.

[@TheGreatDevlin]

35:30 Interesting bc the common narrative is that Marvel was like that with the different editors for X-Men, Avengers, Spider-Man, etc. Plus, the stuff with the Image guys. But this story makes way more sense.

[@jameskingman1227]

I am always so happy to hear about Hobgoblin factoids and how it all went down, if we never get a back issues on Hobgoblin Lives this is a really close second.

[@jamzilla6990]

Great interview, although the marriage discussion at the end was such a bummer. I have always thought divorce at a young age would be super relatable because people who are young can make mistakes like that. I would've preferred that to a magical do-away.

[@Stoopid_Sandwich]

On the Subject of Norman Osborn's resurrection in the comics at the end of the Clone Saga; While I am not all privy to the conversations that happened between the editors and writers during those final months of the Clone saga and the discussions that led to Norman coming back, it would not surprise me in the least if the Spider-Man Animated Series has something to do with it. Because by 1996 the tv show had all this slow, methodical lead up to establish Norman as a threat to Spider-man, and then by season 3 in 1996 he becomes the Green Goblin and he is by far the most formidable villain to debut on that series. And by the end of the third season, that climactic battle between Peter and the Goblin occurs just months before Peter Parker: Spider-Man # 75. So whether it was just true serendipity and a stroke of good luck or the fact that both the comics and the cartoon were able to reintroduce Norman Osborn as a bona fide threat to Spider-Man and inevitably the MU at large probably had a lot to do with that bit of hegemony in 1996 thanks in part to the Spider-man cartoon series and the tail end of the clone saga.

[@weaponx22001]

I have so many great comics, like the first appearance of carnage, the death of Harry Osborne, the death of Ben and return of Peter spiderman , and other hot gems

[@freack3333]

That was fun. Its nice to hear from a guy who was in the trenches at that time.

[@chriswimberley7511]

Having trouble finding the first interview, does anyone have the title

[@codystork3008]

So many 90s Marvel descisions are because of Heroes Reborn, but I would have never connected Marvel Paramount comics to HR.

[@EngenBooks]

"Goblins at the Gate" on the ComicPop main channel!

[@mauler15]

Remember reading the epic Life of Reilly on Grayhaven(?) where Glen revealed all the politics and daft decisions behind the clone saga

[@sethinthehouse1]

What was the video name for the earlier glenn interview? Can't seem to find it

[@comicpopreturns]

[@ue8472]

Awesome!

[@fatenabu1]

When DC had Star Trek the Green Lantern book had a Vulcan Green Lantern... Also a green skinned person was seen in starfleet who looked like a guy from Colu. He was 100% not an Orion either. The Vulcan Green Lantern name was named Saarek. He is still canon but no longer a proper Vulcan.

[@shiningnight12]

Kinda funny that he put out the option for divorce for peter and mj when that's exactly what happened to peter b parker in spider-verse and he was able to get back with his mj and have a child. Now that's one of the favored spidey adaptations

[@monstermanalex1313]

I hope you do X-Men Star Trek back issues, I only had the paperback book, no comics, I wanna know how it relates

[@comicpopreturns]

[@KOFNY]

Sweet!

[@IronMan-qv7po]

Comic Pop returns you and your friend Glenn Don't brag Iam pissed you fools

[@comicpopreturns]

?

[@travmadison2000]

Fun Fact : If you were lucky enough to ever own the TPB of the Revelations story ( which i saw only once in my life and still regret NOT buying >.< ) Spiderman #75 they have added/extended pages which show Norman getting up from the debris that collapsed on him, along with other epoligue stuff for Ben.
