The only one left not under the nefarious villain's thrall is Wonder Man. But can even the super-strong Simon Williams hope to save the day when the rest of the Avengers have all been turned against him? Never miss an episode by subscribing today! bit.ly/2WYvgkt #avengers

Johnny: Namor sent us tickets for The Shape of Water. Sue: How sweet. Ben: Ain't that the one where some chick gets some lovin' from a fish man? Reed: *N A M O R !*

[@WhelmedButReady]

I love how Sal and Ben revert back to children whenever Keenan says he hasn't seen something. "WHAT!?!? THAT SHOW IS AWESOME!" Lol

[@matthewrives1340]

Keenan will always be remembered for “Fetus Venom”

[@BBmetalhead04]

Oh sure, when Tygra goes around fighting in a bathing suit it’s ridiculous. But when Beast does it no one bats an eye.

[@Dragnay]

Or Namor with his speedo... he doesn't even have fur.

[@KWHere2]

I never thought about it before but yeah, Tygra and Beast have a lot in common as far as like abilities go.

[@vfxninja5503]

Beast is advertising for his male erotic dancer service. For 40 dollars he'll work it left-cheek right-cheek for you.

[@MugenNiFukuzatsuna]

Doom does not OWN Latveria.. he IS LATVERIA! Long Live Doom!

[@Hiiroarana79]

SomeFriendlessBastard just like Evita

[@changvasejarik62]

Long live doom! Icon of latveria, inevitable king of the universe, and master of the stick shift.

[@ToonGal12]

That cloak IS the best cloak, because not only is it a Doctor Doom cloak, but it also doubles as the Cloak of Invisibility!

[@anneramsey9449]

When you hit 100k subs I expect to see the gang wrap Sal in foil and make a Tin Foil Doom!

[@darthshadow6836]

So this is the Universe where Sal became Dr.Doom because Ethan wasn't there to use scientific logic to control Sal's rage and tired, wearied, jadedness of Marvel and DC comics bullshit.

[@Evyscreations]

Come for Dr. Doom ruling the world. Stay for the philosophical intricacies of free will and the nature of good and evil. Classic Back Issues

[@Jhakson]

Great book and a great episode! The passionate discussion about the ethics of Dr. Doom ruling is a conversation I've had with friends as well so it's cool you guys took the philosophical points seriously. Keenan did a fantastic job, I'm sure the first time doing something like this is nerve wracking (trying not to make weird faces, not stuttering, and of course bring up important subjects) so hats off to you dude for putting yourself out there especially at the end. Keep up the good work dudes :)

[@LATVERIAN1]

One of the most over-looked/ greatest Doctor Doom stories ever told.

[@dylanlewis5113]

Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes did a similar story. Purple Man used his power on Tony Stark, and Stark became Emperor of the world. Vision woke up after a month long reboot, and freed everyone.

[@Benm701]

Keenan looks like a combination of Seth Rogen, and Rainn Wilson.

[@leonardfabian8942]

So this is where emperor Stark from Earths Mightiest Heroes come from.

[@bigenglishmonkey]

technically you could use it for cosplay now because of Infamous Iron Man just stick your iron man helmet behind you on then put the hood up.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

_Thank Christ Tigra was there._

[@Junior2000625]

You!

[@SpiralSine6]

#TigraForMCU

[@Grievousish]

Alright so Sal's got the Doom cape, Tiff's got the Strange cape. What capes do we give Ethan and Ben? Also Keenan kinda looks like an Earth 2 version of ComicDrake

[@amazingspidermew]

Good eye! I'd counter that Keenan kinda looks like the Amalgam version of Comic Drake and Ethan.

[@masterrance]

Earth 47 Back Issue hosted by God King Sal

[@MugenNiFukuzatsuna]

There are several D's that Comicpop needs more of. Two of those are Dredd... and Doom!

[@jaypea5598]

This comment could either be a friendly suggestion of a serious threat

[@xw2542]

Sal, you make me want to see Dr. Doom in a button up T-shirt. Metal armor and everything, just also semi-formal wear as well

[@gaborszepesi6299]

www.google.hu/search?q=doombot&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiD2L3twNnfAhUDM-wKHUjqCb8Q_AUIDigB&biw=1366&bih=626#imgrc=YNjuN7CJbFxTOM: A DOOMBOT not DOCTOR DOOM, but still great!

[@TheChocoboKid]

Emperor Sal Von Doom

[@wylenblevins8545]

Always nice to see Doom

[@Grievousish]

This story started to sound very familiar even though I know I've never read it. It was an episode of Avengers EMH! Except just purple man and vision instead of wonder man

[@thebluePrincess5904]

I’m pretty sure Ant-Man was a founding member of the avengers along with Wasp, hulk, Thor, and Iron-Man

[@magicalgirllaurie]

Pretty sure Ant-Man was Scott Lang at this time. Hank Pym founded the Avengers. I'm not sure which of his various identities he was at this time.

[@jykvox869]

There is a legitimate rivalry aspect between Simon Williams and Tony Stark beyond just a super-hero rivalry. It goes back (deep lore) to both being rival industrialists, and maybe Tony was smarter/more inovative. and then Simon's brother Eric, later the Grim Reaper, engaging in capitalist espionage and stealing tech secrets, and Simon taking the fall. Then we find out Simon did it. This fall somehow leads to the Baron Zemo treatments that make Simon into Wonder Man, and concurrently Tony's life has led him to be Iron Man. And then it's retro-swapped back to Eric, the Grim Reaper, really *did* do the crimes/sabotage. And..Well, it's one of those things that goes back and forth depending on Author and how they want to spin Wonder Man, more tragic? More victim? More heroic? I don't even know the current canon, but there's some jacked-up history between Tony and Simon way back to before either were heroes, and before Simon was an Actor. It's not worth knowing, and stupid, but that explains some of that relationship in this graphic. It was written out in early issues of WEST COAST AVENGERS, and has Simon spilling his guts on Johnny Carson (No, not Letterman.). It was running in the monthlies at the time this came out. That's just an explantion for some weird shit about confidence and rivalry/trust in this.

[@austincole7286]

This sounds loosely like the premise of an episode of Earths Mightiest Heroes, Emperor Stark. Vision is put away for a bit for repairs and comes back and everyone is under control of Purple Man.

[@alexnejako777]

This is really good. The paper quality and😊 printing in these old graphic novels made them a premium purchase.

[@AnarchicArachnid]

All hail Emperor doom!

[@TimedRevolver]

I think the moral of the book is that humanity should improve on it's own, not be forced to through mind control. It's not improvement if you're not doing it of your own free will. Humanity hasn't gotten better, they've just been browbeat into behaving.

[@dakenscholz3585]

"His power is his weapon." I love you Sal. XD

[@MugenNiFukuzatsuna]

Doom would not die. Obviously Doom would also eventually solve the "death problem"!

[@Sicod79]

Come for the comic analysis. Stay for the philosophical debate about the nature of good.

[@ineptgamer3814]

ROFL these 2 episodes with old friends have been cool. Yet another entertaining perspective with a dash of humour. Sal, I salute you for your genius in creating these shows and Ben, Ethan & Tiffany give it an extra helping of excellence..!!

[@starvingmartian3037]

So was Reagan under Doom's control when he ordered Superman to bring down Batman? That would actually make all sorts of sense...

[@gar55rocks1]

Super fun episode! Ben’s always great but the addition of your new friend was awesome he was entertaining and he’d be fun to join again sometime! Great episode as always

[@OomaGooma]

I love the larger size of the old Marvel Graphic Novels. There’s several really awesome stories from that series.

[@SpiralSine6]

No shoutout to Sal's parents for being the original guest stars of Back Issues? (Not including the members of the Weekly Pull)

[@oldmanhogan2668]

They all called each other and where like.....flannels? Sal:hell yes flannels

[@liverusrock6789]

Fun fact, Soule used Doom's Purple man machine to make people forget Matt was Daredevil, it's a pretty awesome use of continuity imo.

[@jamesc8523]

I think the point is if humanity had 30 years of Doom rule, where he just fixed everything and stopped war. You would imagine the next generation would not have the inclination to fight one another unless Doom got bored and decided to conquer the universe.

[@FifthHorseman23]

This book inspired some very interesting ideological debate and I really enjoyed that. Nice work on this episode guys.

[@OomaGooma]

FifthHorseman23 - I agree. This is one of my favorite Avengers stories. There’s some very thought provoking material in this book. It’s a very underrated story and I don’t think it’s been reprinted.

[@gilmerrobles548]

I like Sal bringing more elements and entities from his past, And there will come a time where Carol, Aaron, and/or Sam would sit on the couch with you guys.

[@yendorspoots5611]

Good job Keenan! Another stellar episode ComicPOP.

[@nigelflood7074]

All Hail Doom

[@Thorfan85]

Great episode guys, definitely bring your friend back on another episode. I liked his view that Doom was the good guy and Wonder Man is the real villain

[@FifthHorseman23]

Hey Keenan! Welcome to the Population. It's cool to have you on the show. (Pssst Sal... Is this Santa? We're gonna figure this out if it kills us.) P.S. That green screen effect is really really smooth.

[@TheRealZubes]

FifthHorseman23 Keenan is not Santa!

[@FifthHorseman23]

TheRealZubes Foiled again!

[@Benm701]

All hope lies with Sal.

[@robertcorr6971]

"You've got to stop this! I LOVE YOU CAPTAIN AMERICA!"

[@kd7100]

Dammit this channel is classic 😂

[@ryanstang6556]

I really like this guy! Please bring him on the show more!

[@lhakumei1345]

Reed Only bangs for procreation since he already made god theres no need for further banging

[@JoeBrando_]

Ethan looks different today.

[@dreamydoc]

Less than 10 minutes in and I'm already loving this episode, you guys are too funny

[@andrewmatseshe7343]

Yeeees! I love crappy Avengers episodes! Look at this team! These were my Avengers when I was a kid! Namor!? Mockingbird!? Tigra!? Just clicked so here we go!

[@edwin831]

Wish we could see Ethan, Sal, Ben, Keenan and Jason all together

[@amazingspidermew]

Flannel Squad on point!

[@kevinkruger1686]

y'all forgot baron blood

[@pleffman]

we need this guy on again, or atleast slightly more chaotic people who find ben really funny, this is a standout video to me just because the vibe is a little lighter

[@comicpop]

Lighter?

[@pleffman]

@@comicpop not that your usual videos are dark, the opposite of that if anything this is just such a silly fun episode and I love it, from someone who watches these videos Everytime they paint (daily) this one just means a lot to me

[@asiydah.6817]

That was fun. I love when they have an old friend on as a guest.

[@dominicbeaudoin4505]

All hail the Emperor!

[@carver90029]

Can we get a episode with keenan and Ethan??!!!

[@nerdyrockcomics5428]

some piece of doom imprinted on us

[@dragonstormx]

Question; how does anybody still claim Doctor Doom's motives aren't selfish when this comic pretty well spelled that they are a hundred percent selfish. His claims of wanting conquest for the sake of the world are like Walter White saying he's dealing drugs for the sake of his family; it's a lie to convince himself his intentions aren't selfish.

[@sircasmanmarvellolover1323]

Please have more Keenan in future back issues

[@jameshughes7946]

I for one welcome our supreme overlord Dr.Doom

[@CAPappy]

So this is where Chip might have gotten the idea for using Purple man in Devils Reign

[@WhelmedButReady]

Anyone else still too shook after Infinity War to comprehend anything else Marvel? Just me? Ok I'll lay shooketh in a corner

[@99jmaster]

Steven Ford Did you see Infinity War?

[@99jmaster]

Steven Ford I think he said that because one of his favorite characters died, I know I kinda am especially since my favorite hero died

[@comixproviderftw_02]

"I don't want to go."

[@Martin_TheCollector]

No because the films are not related to the books in any way. And should never be compared in my opinion.

[@ThePandaSupreme]

RedLightning17 not that shook i expected what happened in that movie

[@terry10tnj]

“Netflix is like 5$ a month” if you only knew what was to come lmao

[@jonfrombuckland_3784]

Keenan?! Cool, hooray for more guests!

[@daelen.cclark]

I am DOOM!!! Emperor of the stick shift!!!

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

I can tell this episode is just going to be a bunch of classic comic book schlock.

[@fighterpilot3660]

It's Over 9000 Productions Yes and to quote Bobby Roode it’s glorious :)

[@AnarchicArachnid]

5:05 in 616- but they did make a what if (what if the other) where Peter who had fully bonded with the symbiote DID uses the carnage symbiote to revive Gwen Stacy and make her into a carnage human hybrid to explicitly mate with.... Yep its gross

[@comicpop]

Ugh I remember that.

[@bergerchicken]

I wanna see Keenan again on back issues. He seems cool.

[@mrboykins4619]

in tigra's defense namor is walking around in a speedo and nothing else so ... lol

[@blackjoker502dbz]

Can you do Marvel 1602 back up issues?

[@Martin_TheCollector]

I hate it when great writers get screwed over.

[@GitShiddy]

Okay thinking Doom is a good guy I get; but not having Netflix??? Hmm.... ;-)

[@bergerchicken]

Sal's magic trick at 20:30

[@eqs1782]

Keenan's awesome. Will he return to Back Issues?

[@chriswimberley7511]

Awe snapppp! Guest person guy thing!

[@sircharles9166]

lmao 9:02-9:04 comicpop hall of fame moment

[@dearlydemented19ify]

I love you. I love you all.

[@MugenNiFukuzatsuna]

I thought both Ant-man and Wasp were founding members of the Avengers.

[@BrandonPaul]

Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the cartoon, has an episode based on this comic where Purple Man/Tony Stark takes over the world, and Vision is the one who is immune (because there's no invention present to control him). Kinda ironic considering he's stuck dancing in the original.

[@nightwingr]

Does in this universe exists "Getting physical with Keenan!!!!!"

[@johnny2003]

Great conversation...Did you all plan to wear plaid?

[@zion831]

A "reverse hollow man" sounds extremely dirty. 😊

[@AKAPAD]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD PICK BOI. I totally forgot about this Graphic Novel.

[@oatmat]

Sal is a cape is just the best!!!

[@jacobgr251]

Did you guys plan to wear similar button ups or was it an accident?

[@FrozenLavaDragonProd]

2:10 OMG, you guys found a cloak of invisibility! Now you only need the stone and elder wand and you will conquer death!

[@JoshMunroe]

25:33 Vision moves to an uptight religious town to gift the residents with the power of dance. Movie title: Screwloose.

[@SeekerLancer]

I like Michelinie and with Layton they're easily the most important Iron Man scribes but I disagree with him completely on War Machine. It seems to me based on things they've said that Michelinie really hated Kaminski's run and Layton seemed to dig it.

[@snakktacularshazzle6514]

Great show

[@karl_alan]

You can buy the bluray of Netflix shows.

[@andrews4717]

Doom could’ve easily fixed this by just saying “you can do whatever you want but if you decide to commit a crime you will immediately turn yourself in to the police” and everyone would’ve done it

[@kingzefer3075]

Keenan should be on more episodes and live shows!

[@Kantohammer]

I always wondered what would happen if purple man is blocked by language barriers.

[@ericemanwu]

Cool story. Now how long until you do Hickman's secret wars?

[@CarlosRodriguez-sv4wd]

i often wonder how many people in the marvel universe ate accidentally slaughtered Skrull burgers
