Thanks Rob! Can you do Fear Itself next?

[@lawrencejoseph4693]

I love watching these but your talking about everything but the x-force team and there powers...shatter star,boom boom,caninball,domino or cable.talk about that too

[@keinchi]

Edit: Rob, I love that you keep bringing up the Spidey MJ dissolution and their other slips like the inhumans, and I hope you continue to bring them up.

[@frozenfirebat]

I want a version with tritium gas inside, so it'll glow like a real Lantern Corps ring =P

[@nicholaspacker6713]

I listen to comics explained every day before going to bed. Literally right before I go to sleep. I don’t even watch the video I keep the screen down and turn my phone off when it’s done. Kind of like my own bed time story :) ROB 4 EVER

X-Force used to be my favorite team, but then like Rob said, all those changes that just ruin it for me, kept my favorite comics from the series and sold the rest

[@peterbrazukas7771]

Did the same. To me it'll always be Cable, Domino, Cannonball, Boomer, Siryn, Warpath, Rictor & Shatterstar... eh, and Feral but she was a crazy biatch.

[@kolins.4356]

Wouldn’t it be cool if X-Force had a game that had the same art style and gameplay of borderlands 2 and was made by gearbox and 2k, the creators of said game.

[@Miguelon88888]

Bro just a good game in General. The last good Xmen game was Wolverine origins uncaged edition.

[@kolins.4356]

@@Miguelon88888 yeah I know, I’m just saying a modern day x-men or marvel game that has a comic or cell shaded aesthetic would be awesome to see in my opinion. I mentioned borderlands because the characters within those game are like mercenaries and deadly combatants that have superhuman abilities kinda like the x-force. Cable, Deadpool, domino, Shatterstar, warpath, bedlam, feral, moon star would be interesting characters to play. With this x-force video I put two and two together. For example, Skyrim is a good blueprint for a doctor strange or masters of the mystic arts game. Their are games that have mechanics and premises that would match well with a marvel inspired game.

[@coinboys9590]

I don't mean to be rude, but for some reason I enjoyed the videos more when you're not cutting back and forth to you on camera. I think it kind of disrupts it for me, as opposed to your older vids. Just my opinion, love the content!

[@wikydansa]

It's so crazy how you manage to know all this stuff and remember so many details. smh I'm grateful tho, because not even the covid pandemic can compel me to try to read allllllll these comics!

[@black9rw]

I started reading Uncanny X-men and New Mutants in the late 80's. I do admit that I became a huge fan after the Xtinction Agenda when the Xbooks got renamed. I still read Xmen (blue team) because I've always been a big fan of Psylocke, Wolverine, Gambit (I used to call them the "grimey squad"). But I would ride my bike to the comic store to see what Shatterstar and Cable were up to before I touched any other Xbook.

[@andrewt6338]

Liefeld is sloppy, but he was pretty important.

[@iverson25allen]

Such a mixed bag of feelings regarding the new format, lmao! Everyone, relaaax. We have the perfect blend of facetime and panel time. As a long time subscriber and fan, Rob, I enjoy this new format thoroughly. If you do go back to the old format so people aren't triggered that's okay, too. But, I do like this format, personally.

[@bazzfromthebackground3696]

This was great, as an X-men fan, I too was lost in the X-Forrest of X-Titles. #X

[@joeydrakeward4077]

@@mitchdauphin7114 Huh? I saw Deadpool 2 before I posted this. It’s called a joke…

[@micahlbrown]

Hey Rob, hope you see this. Love the videos, watched more of them than I can count. I was wondering if you had any plans to talk about the Mojoverse. I had a Longshot comic as a kid but i cant remember much of it, and I'd love to know more. Thanks dude, keep it up!

[@prophet1390]

Please do “JLA: Salvation Run” it is so good and nobody ever talks about it

[@JFizzzzzzzz]

Rob, can you do a video about Sleepwalker?

[@BurgBoy7]

Been subscribed to you for about 2 weeks now man and you’re already one of my favorite KZbinr...can hear the actual excitement in your voice

[@IdTheDemon]

Please do a separate video on Wolverine's X-Force. The Dark Angel Saga is still one of Marvel's best storylines in the last decade.

[@Shockwave99999]

I love how Deadpool 2’s X-Force ends up up just building up towards a 5 minute massacre of the whole team lol

[@UltraPrimal]

6:32 I know of a similar case which is the character Circuit Breaker who was a Transformers villain back when Transformers comics were being done by Marvel. As per their agreement, any character created for the Transformers comics would be owned by Hasbro. But the writer and creator of Circuit Breaker didn't want her to be owned by Hasbro, so he had her put into one panel of Secret Wars II. Marking that as her first appearance before being in Transformers and thus owned by Marvel, not Hasbro. And after the run of Transformers under Marvel ended, they did nothing with her. Which is unfortunate because she's a pretty cool character and I could see Marvel repurposing her as a villain in the MCU. She'd basically be very bad news for anyone in a powered suit like Iron Man, War Machine, Black Panther, Ant-Man, The Wasp, Falcon, Spider-Man(if he's in one of the suits Tony gave him), and probably even Vision.

[@BD-zg7is]

weird. it is known that you the company you work for owns all the work you create while they pay you to create that work.

[@spencerwiedemann1939]

This channel is so awesome, endless LORE. Thank you so much for this infinite lore stream.

[@Gwolfsoun]

21:31"the inhumans don't even care about the inhumans." Preach lol

[@mediaaddict3997]

1. What happened to the ring you were going to give away. 2. Good video but It would have been nice to talk about the individual members of the team and their powers at least a brief summary.

[@hsatin20]

Dude, I am not sure if you were reading comics back then but you talk like you did. Great video.

[@inkedvillan80]

milligan/allred xforce was soooo good. i can't believe it was so poorly recieved

[@Griezz]

Actually, the X-Force members from DEADPOOL 2 are all from different points in X-Force history. Domino was a founding member, debuting (apparently) in NEW MUTANTS #98 (1992), while Shatterstar appeared in the following issue. Bedlam only showed up in X-FORCE #82 (1998). The acid-spewing Zeitgeist made his only appearance in X-FORCE #116 (2001l.

[@DarkDrawnComics]

David Scott what about Peter?

[@Griezz]

DarkDrawnComics Peters not from the cimucs; as completely original, probably just meant to show how random DP gets.

[@EricLoganealmoney]

Have you ever explained "Generation X?" I really liked the comic back in the day. I did feel the comic ended kind of crazy, though. Maybe you could do something on that if you already haven't.

[@AjSm0ove]

Thats, crazy because the “uncanny: X-Force” is definitely one of the best x-force

[@FnRenner]

The starting point for X-Force, imo, would be New Mutants #87 with the first appearance of Cable. Cable IS X-Force.

[@cancerstinks1]

I’ll never forget the comic where Fantomex just straight up shoot baby Apocalypse

[@Markovian_]

Loved X-force Vol.2 (or 3) when they got back to the black ops dark outfits and badassery.

[@zacherydudas8289]

I've been watching all your videos well all the ones I can find. And I really like your hulk vids and I've learned so much about the Marvel comics and universe and your vids have really helped me understand my favorite hero's

Oh yo i just found this explanation and i really love this facecam style of video!!

[@J-gritty]

We need warlock with X-force, Rob Liefield and Jim Lee were my favorite artists.

[@jasonberezowski2869]

That would be awesome! New Mutants and X-Force along with Cable is the one series I've always stuck with and never abandoned. I always liked Liefeld personally but I get why a lot of people don't like him.

Sizwe. A Mabaso - that's his superhero identity. He hides his super powered afro under his hats and controls it with his Rob Corp ring. His hair turns into constructs like a green lantern.

[@punishersnake4888]

great video this brings me back to when i was younger... reading x- force for the first time.... the new mutants all that good stuff... great stuff keep up the awesome work!!!

[@snakes3425]

Highlight of Deadpool 2: Watching Rob "Comic Book Poison" Liefeld's abominations die horrible deaths...except for Peter, Peter is the greatest X-Force member of all time.

[@Lank55]

Just watched this, and perhaps someone noted it below, but yes: X-Force #1 was a huge seller because it was a #1 issue of a NEW X-title. But another reason? Pure marketing. Each issue came in a sealed bag, and in each bag was a little card with an X-Force character on it. There were five cards in total. As a kid, that meant that I had to (yes, HAD TO) buy all five, PLUS one that I could gently razor blade open at the top to actually read the book. So, I bought (and still have) six bleeping copies of that book. The same goes for the new X-Men book. I forget the number, but Jim Lee put out like 5 variant cover that, when placed side-by-side made a large mural, which was also available in a special issue with the whole mural on a gatefold cover. Needless to say, I bought all of those, too.

[@sethhabhegger4198]

I'm pretty sure Rob meant Marc Silvestri, the comic creator, and not Alan Silvestri, the film composer @ 7:21. Both are cool, though.

[@EdHaigh]

I dig the new format man. You're so knowledgeable and friendly it's going to benefit you to get your face out there. I love all your videos. You should teach a course on comic book history for real.

[@battlebrothers_40k]

i really feel like the reason x-men and x-force dropped off is because they never followed through with the major storylines that made each title compelling. There was so much more to explore with Stryfe, Apocalypse, Cable, the sentinels and preventing this dark future but it all just died after Xcutioners Song

[@Jeudaos]

just proves that everybody wants to see Logan as a team leader, like cyclops

[@Appocollege]

Does anybody know if Rob has a video on "Fear Itself" ?

[@thetruth45678]

The ring is hefty. I was impressed. Super big for my finger, but still really well made.

[@miamimagicians]

X force probably did not take off because there was so many X-Men fractions at the time no one could keep up

[@omegahtv6779]

There was always a special place in my heart for the black ops X Force team, great video Rob 👍

[@dmcd7619]

No offense (I honestly think you're awesome), but I'd much rather look at comic book art while watching your videos than looking at you. As you probably know, you talk pretty fast and it's easier to process what you're saying while looking at the subject matter than looking at you. Besides, art is art.

[@chasemcdonald7250]

Hey guys and gals, I’ve been a marvel fan since I was just a crying, crawling kid. But I just recently started reading the actual comics. Obviously, I wanted to start with huge comic events like Apocalypse, Civil War, etc. this has led me to a question: How important are tie-in comics? I don’t really have the time to read hundreds of tie-is if I don’t NEED to. So for example. For the Apocalypse event, what issues would I NEED to read?

[@DavidSchwegler]

@ComicsExplained can you explain where Negasonic's name comes from?

[@kolbrez]

When did Rob explain the New Warriors!?!?!? There my favorite classic Marvel Team!!

[@spacewizard6743]

Can you talk about the next avengers? They made an animated movie about it years ago and from what I've seen it was based off of actual comics.

[@caileancampbell7498]

I have to disagree with when X-Force started to fall off. When Liefield left and started Youngblood, That was the start of X-Force sliding in sales. When Jim Lee left and started WildC.A.T.s, same thing happened with X-Men. Don't get me wrong, X-Force ran strong for several issues after everyone jumped ship over to Image Comics. But Image had taken pretty much all the good artists and writers, leaving most of the titles from both DC and Marvel with the C teams. Liefield had done something with X-Force, especially with X-cutioiners Song. He had tried to unite all the X titles all the while keeping them separate. Sort of like a annual family reunion. He made it show how the different X teams worked. Problem with that at the time, too many readers of one title or another, flat out refused to accept it. So many readers jumped ship with the writers and artists to Image.

[@MultiBeerme]

Can't hear that name without hearing Linkara's theme song.

[@ThePeruvianNightmare]

Oh little does Rob know . . . . ;)

[@Ship-security]

Hey Rob do you by any chance know the X-Force the storyline that came out in the late 80s or early 90s it featured Richter Cannonball Boomer and a few others being chased down by the X-Men and put in jail. It also featured Cable and the Six Pack, killing a bunch of foreign military types and I believe Strife stabs Apocalypse with a stone sword. I also think akane tries to kill cable before they team up to defeat Strife. I had a few issues of this when I was a kid and I've always wanted to know the full story arc. If anyone else knows what I'm talking about let me know. sorry for the vagueness I'm just going off of childhood memories. Love your work keep it up.
