Justice League versus the Suicide Squad!

The Suicide Squad strikes from the shadows and does the jobs too dirty for superheroes to handle. Under the iron fist of Director Amanda Waller, these monsters and maniacs have operated in total secrecy…until now. Batman is on their trail and the Squad’s existence isn’t something he or the Justice League can tolerate. It must be shut down.

[@comixproviderftw_02]

I guess you could say they're some kind of Justice Squad.

[@BustinOnYou247]

The NightMayor I kinda feel League suicide sounds better

[@leonardfabian8942]

Don't make me lobotomize you.

[@karimzaid9726]

the suicide justice league squad

[@danniglaser6066]

ComiXProvider FTW_02 Please don’t say that

[@valiantshadow89]

"DC didn't count on Back Issues!" "They never do..."

[@lucariomew365]

"I'm Superman! I'm not movie Batman…. I'm also not movie Superman." Will Never get tired of these.

[@professionalidiot4485]

"lol eat it croc, or rather you can't" when did sal become a bendis character

[@thepulp80s]

Sal was never real. Only a fiction of Bendis’ imagination

[@Grievousish]

I'd love to see the comic version of Batman look at Leto's Joker, just shake his head and slowly walk away.

[@MugenNiFukuzatsuna]

Justice League vs Suicide Squad. Because who do you send to take down the Strongest Heroes on Earth in one team... send a guy who throws Boomerangs...

[@bobcho105]

SomeFriendlessBastard eh, this was actually handled pretty well

[@cisnerd_2093]

I want a t shirt with Ethan saying, "that makes no goddamn sense." It's because his catchphrase at this point.

[@MG-sb8pf]

My favorite Comic KZbin channel. Absolutely marvelous content as always.

[@normansmith9009]

MG agreed

[@grawlicksshmalicks7672]

Everyone at Comic Pop is great, but it is not a back issues without Ethan's skepticism.

[@drannanhollifield6739]

Waller absolutely knows Bruce is Batman. She always does. Since Ostrander's run on Suicide Squad in the 80s. Comics, JLU, DCEU and so on.

[@Hardy34]

Any day with Back Issues and Elsewolds is a good day🖒

[@IvanTheTurrible]

Clearly Ben was not listening to Sal when he said "From the DC Rebirth era" lol

[@beverlymarsh233]

doing hw, get notification, connect to speaker, hit play and continue doing hw

[@bobcho105]

Yanke East ok

[@Crimsonknight700]

Look what came back on my feed. Looks like KZbin wants me to rewatch a classic episode of Back Issues in honor of Suicide Squad.

[@superluigiac]

Nice little story, loved the reaction of Superman seeing Max again...

[@Macewinrude]

2017: stop Maxwell Lord 2023: “Maxwell Lord was right”-Amanda Waller

[@sircasmanmarvellolover1323]

I cant believe Sal sorta predict the future

[@Mat23]

Re-reading this event now and realizing it was setting up No-Justice is kinda nostalgically cool. Best moment was Aquaman versus Croc 🤘

[@wilagaton9627]

First event I bought tie-ins for. . . Had a great experience out of it, that I decided to do the same for Dark Nights Metal :D

[@dieboyandy5150]

"..It was Mario's first power.." Bwahaaaaaahaaaaa Ethan, I Love you!!!!!!

[@TheWayfarerFamily]

Awwww Maaaan!!! You guys are Awesome!!! More 4 way action though. Love it, when , on occasion, all four of you shred the books together!! More!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@danteturtle]

I feel like Gunthar should be replaced with a logo that says “NYERP UM ACTUALLY”

[@liamdamico6301]

Thanks for doing this. I always love it when you do rebirth

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Something something some kind of Notification Squad...

[@Grievousish]

Excuse me sir, you seemed to have dropped your obvious joke. Allow me to say it for you. "what are we, some kinda notification squad?" Have a nice day now.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Thank you, sir.

[@TheSerpentsEye]

Just wanted to say that you guys rock. Haven't even dipped my toe in to Rebirth yet, so I'll be waiting on this review. Can't wait to catch up!

[@kordelshorgar122]

¿anti suicide squad = homicide squad ?

[@tromusic7815]

"He's in a healing coma right now" Goddamn it, Ethan, I'm crying laughing

[@sophiadickey2829]

Last time I was this early, I had class. Guess what got cancelled today!

[@Thistlespawn]

I'm losing my mind at Rustam, because not only he's just a guy, his supervillain moniker... is just a common first name. It's like an American villain deciding to just call himself John.

[@lebeaumuni6247]

Please do a back issue on maxwells lord. Or even just the omac project. I might be bias since that's the trade that got me into comics but I think that era would give you a lot of weird shit to talk about.

[@oldmanhogan2668]

Ive been watching all 3 of the original Weekly pull members since the beginning (we miss you dave) and i have to say sal and comic pop are the only people i can still tolerate on regular basis. Granted this is only a personal and probably unpopular opinion but i dont enjoy someone reading me a comic book like im a 10 year old being told a bedtime story by my father. Sorry for the negativity but im old and i hate change lol.

[@Ohmargod]

For years later, you're still with us? Because I'm also old and dislike simple retellings of stories.

[@valiantshadow89]

Sal's disdain for Tom King hurts me. Lol I know everyone's got their tastes, and that's cool, but I really love the King run. Ah, well!

[@chilliciouspatrioticmeatlover]

My greatest defining moment of Maxwell Lord was when he blew Ted Kord/ Blue Beetles brains out.

[@graysonred2641]

Facts

[@jjking5606]

Question is..if you could control minds but poop your pants every time you do it..do you still take the power ?

[@ryebreadreturn1]

JJ King No. Controlling minds is the worst power to have because it's fundamentally unethical to use it. It's bad enough having to wrestle with serious ethical dilemmas before using my powers, if it made me poop my pants too...well that's just too much.

[@FatSnorlax]

I fistpumped the air! Man this event is so great!

[@FloorTankMain]

I LOVED this crossover so much I think I reread it more than a couple times. Thanks a lot for covering it and so well, too!

[@FloorTankMain]

Came back to rewatch this episode and did not remember leaving this comment. I don’t even remember the contents of this crossover. Ah, the passing of time.

[@vicentegeonix]

I love how the logo of comic pop has a little house inside.

[@Xelveki]

Another mask changing villain... Hexadecimal from Reboot. Might've been thinking about that one.

[@bobbyj8163]

Who’s here watching this After Suicide Squad kills the Justice League trailer

[@KRSeriphem]

They don't hold hands? But friendship is magic, Sal

[@cam4748]

Was initially disappointed that this wasn't Ultimate Venom. Still great

[@JinX_11199]

Cam I cross my fingers for this every Wednesday

[@rolan5948]

Cam if I want to get into a good Spider-Man run with more recent polished artwork what would be the best place to start? I don’t mind old artwork but I DONT want to read another the dark knight returns again. I STRUGGLED to read through that shit

[@cam4748]

Cosmic Turner, the best place to start is with Ultimate Spiderman. However if you don't like that I would recommend reading Spider-Man:Big Time by Dan Slott or the first arc of Spider-Man by J. Michael Straczynski

[@rolan5948]

Cam thanks man, after I finish reading civil war il decide whether to buy justice league vs suicide squid (rebirth) or a new Spider-Man comic. Also what out of the 3 you mentioned has the best artwork. Il just pick that one

[@welikecomicbooks9758]

Wow! Good review. Thanks again for posting.

[@theicedude395]

So Maxwell Lord is basically President Funny Valentine??

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

_clears throat_ Is that a motherfucking Jojo reference?

[@jonryder7269]

ShiningOne21 I mean he was created way before, but thats still a good anology. ;)

[@Grievousish]

Don't care how it actually ends, in my mind Killer Frost summons the Spirit Bomb

[@kofteburger]

33:43 Life's little bonuses.

[@VarangianVigilante]

In New 52 Eclipso was part of the Houses Onyx and Diamond in Gemworld. After he was defeated the crystal came back to earth. I guess Waller picked it up. I miss the Amethyst comics

[@josht6375]

26:22-26-23 If only you knew benny, If only you knew

[@cjconcannon8713]

So Killer Frost is an energy vampire/dementor in this continuity?

[@t-vann48]

You guys should do the great darkness saga on Back Issues

[@Beardedbeargamer]

Another great episode guys!

[@MrShadowRage]

Sal, Ethan, Ben!!!! 🎶💿 you're the best around nothing's ever gonna bring you down🙌👊✊👑

[@cluhendrix8432]

35:43 T-minus 7 sec until Ben FTW

[@flywheelshyster]

guys guys, i'm sick as a dog and in need of a laugh....put this on after rewatching the BOTW epsidoe with Low Blow so every time you say Lobo all i'm hearing is Low Blow and laughing even though it hurts my ribs to do so! touche' my good sirs

[@OmegaRanger1986]

My favorite arc

[@endergamez5874]

Futrues End Next?

[@bgajdek]

Nice MK cover. Sweet thumbnail

[@JoshMunroe]

Just a Scooby-Doo hallway of doors, where every time the Justice League goes in one door, they come out another as the Suicide Squad, and vice versa.

[@TevyaSmolka]

i loved justice league vs suicide squad it was a great vs title done right take note marvel

[@nerdyrockcomics5428]

He died... But he got better!

[@spaceydragonmanga686]

I'm just glade DC isn't like Marvel comics, we don't need a event every month

[@liverusrock6789]

Ben's Icy touch

[@DaveFu]

Sal has a Lazarus pit that he isn't sharing with Ethan and Ben.

[@Chatedh]

Wait... LOBO IS FUCKING BACK???!! YEAH BABY!!!!

[@shootermcmeaty]

Hey, have you guys ever considered doing a Back Issues episode of Punisher MAX?

[@robertcorr6971]

Batman running a Justice League where everyone listens to him without Superman... I can't think of a scenario where that's- MOVIE!

[@noahgordon1367]

I'm pretty sure Killer Frost teamed up with Mr Freeze and Captain Cold in a Young Justice episode

[@dennisbell3044]

Am I the only one that hears a cricket chirping in the background?

[@torinforst]

Eclipso was just defeated by the Care Bear Stare

[@stone1899]

Please do green arrow rebirth or flash

[@Pronater]

Hey did you guys know that Batman's apprentice duke's superhero name is the signal. He and Batman will have a three issue mini series after dark nights metal.

[@NexusVerbal]

I want to see you guys do a Back Issues episode on something absolutely horrible, like 2007's AMAZONS ATTACK. Edit: Please.

[@hectordoblado4987]

I hope this video gets a lot more views thanks to current gaming news😉

[@ggooch97]

I was kind of waiting on a Hollywood Undead reference.

[@gigamantisman]

Had to come back and watch this after the terrible Suicide Squad games story. This is a much better and more respectful narrative to both teams

[@tristanwalker3724]

what are we some kinda Suicide League?

[@devinamendez9709]

im a gunthar fan!! thank you comicpop family

[@karsoncompton2340]

You guys should do the first volume of rebirth detective comics

[@Eudaimonia239]

great, this event made me like killer frost, and her path from a villain to a hero, too bad the jla book that came after didnt really worked for me.

[@judah4808]

Is Maxwell Lord anybody’s favorite supervillain?

[@panthor109thabest7]

Comic pop's Batman Proceeds to take over the universe and goes by the name Darkseid

[@sircasmanmarvellolover1323]

I think the dark knight part three would be a cool one to see

[@UltraVioletSkully]

The Suicide Squad is always A1 hope theres more stories with them

[@jonathanhoward9533]

This book was wildly disappointing. The Killer Frost face turn was kinda interesting but I wasn't attached to the character at all.

[@SilentAssasinLOL]

wait this two have not read that arc ever

[@cisnerd_2093]

What came first Task Force X being Task Force Ten, or Weapon X being Weapon Ten?

[@kazual6149]

I really liked this crossover

[@kenlsten4651]

43:02 literally this happens in forever evil too. This entire story is a rip-off of that event (just like dark crisis was a rip-off of infinite…both written by Williamson)

[@Enzo_Matrix92]

I've read 7 issues of Justice League Of America (Rebirth) It sucks....The only good out of it is Lobo and he needs a solo series.

[@k2some]

Hey comic pop crew, love your videos. Please do dc 52 series.

[@ocskope]

... WHO THE FUCK IS GUNTHAR!?

[@comicpop]

+ocskope Watch Avengers Infinity Union

[@HOTD108_]

​@@comicpopSure, but at what cost?

[@BurnyBlumpkin]

You guys should do grant Morrison's xmen run

[@darrenfromwales7978]

Good morning y'all. Hope you are well. Please could tiff do some constantine?

[@LILjokeTeddyBear]

Yay

[@Sicod79]

Wally, your track record isn't great.

[@spaceydragonmanga686]

This was an awesome read!

[@Depthcharge2030]

YEEESSSS THIS IS MY DRUGS

[@reddays8448]

Did Ethan predict the future?

[@luthermanning6945]

This story was better the first time, in Emperor Doom.

[@tristanbastille8554]

Pure schlock and dumb, but still a better event than Marvel has done in about half a decade... At least.

[@jimfine8001]

Avengers last week, Justice League this week, so I’m assuming next week will be either Xmen or teen titans? 🤔
