Grant Morrison: "I'm getting Sue-pah-min, Bat-min, Ah-qwa-min, One-da Woman"

[@MugenNiFukuzatsuna]

Mullet Superman is an official time-mark for history.

[@kingcoheed1208]

SomeFriendlessBastard so you base it Pre Mullet Superman or PM-... Oh umm... Yeah

[@TeemoQuinton]

I like mullet supermang

[@coblynau177]

but you know... it's not a mullet. it's bad drawing... superman has regular long hair

[@jakevader93]

Sal's Grant Morrison impression as just as impeccable as his Alan Moore.

[@luckyafro4991]

Sal's impressions never cease to make me cackle, I tried to find a name to use like "Salan Moore" and i....i couldn't find any the best I could do is Sant Morrison

[@jaystov6739]

Lucky Inn Grant MorriSal

[@luckyafro4991]

Dicky Smallwood Genius, I applaud you my good sir

[@jaystov6739]

Lucky Inn I just do what I can, my friend

[@deazy6453]

Lucky Inn Salan Moore is pretty great 😂

[@caitlinbrewer4843]

The voices are the best. Kyle is actually my favorite GL and I always liked his relationship with Batman. I like how Bats grows to kinda like him because Kyle is willing to expand his skills past just his ring.

[@idongesitusen5764]

I liked the VA who played Kyle when he guess started in Superman TAS. He, John, Jessica Cruz & Simon Baz are my favorite Lanterns.

[@tylerjay213]

Holy shit I literally finished this trade 3 hours ago and wondered " I wonder when they're gonna do this on back issues". That's crazy

[@verginiyaboyadzieva2977]

Haha, I finished it yesterday and was like " This would be great for Back Issues ". Well, they released this yesterday, so I finished it the same day as you.

[@zainou6689]

While I agree that Morrision's run it great, I have to disagree with the idea that the Justice Luge was bad up until that point in the 90s. I personally have always considered JLI and the following Jurgens JLA to be two of the best of all time. These runs JLI specifically breathed new life into the franchise by adding a layer of comedy. OF course I can also understand why one may not enjoy.

[@Stanlos]

Finally! I felt the same way. The League was always awesome and a window into the DCU. I was offended by the diss of the prior team

[@DesiertoDigital]

There are no Red Martians, But there are Burning Martians wich are basically the same thing. A retcon (from 2003 I think?) that explained that the Martian weakness to fire was caused by the Guardians of the Universe and led the martians to evolve into green and white. That Story is famous for having a Kaiju style battle between Burning Martian possessed J'on´n J'onnz and Plastic Man and also one of the creaziest Flash runs so fast moments. Wally saves 100 000 people in less than a second from a nuclear blast.

[@MugenNiFukuzatsuna]

Alan Moore, Grant Morrison.... is there ANY impression Sal can't Nail? Nay I say. Nay.

[@Xer0sama]

Let's see him try an Irish accent during a Garth Ennis book.

[@liverusrock6789]

We'll hear it when they do Punisher MAX.

[@idongesitusen5764]

The DCAU episode "Metamorphosis" shows Metamorpho can be interesting, provided the writer understands the character and can craft a good narrative around him.

[@Grievousish]

Oh god, Sal has somehow put the "Um, Actually" comments straight into the video. This is some real meta stuff going on.

[@rubenthinks]

Your Grant Morrison and Alan Moore impressions are gold!

[@austincole7286]

I had a sudden image in my mind of Grant Morrison hosting a episode of Back Issues doing a Sal impression

[@NewPhoneWhoThis52]

Oh boy a Grant Morrison book This will be a treat lol .

[@AnarchicArachnid]

A Simple Commenter bat god beings

[@NewPhoneWhoThis52]

Anarchic Arachnid Scotish voice (Just a Dude) lol

[@panthor109thabest7]

A Simple Commenter you must be new

[@NewPhoneWhoThis52]

PANTHOR109 Tha best Scotish Voice ( Batman a God He can out think Superman ) that Grant Morrison in a batshell

[@panthor109thabest7]

A Simple Commenter bat is chuck norris in disguise

[@lscreagle7022]

I love the "Gunthar Says"

[@asiydah.6817]

This was an awesome book, I actually enjoyed the story. Also the episode was great as usual! Once again a triumph for Comic Pop.

[@krishna7404]

Grant Morrison writes Batman like none other do, which is why I am excited for Arkham Asylum sequel featuring Damian Wayne.

[@TheNickcone]

This is the start to arguably the best modern JLA run outside of JLI. It was my introduction to DC and gave me a love for DC. Morrison does his best work for DC, although his run on New X Men was pretty revolutionary for Marvel.

[@ainashi6728]

OMG this is so amazing I just love this run of the Justice League, from this story to the last one before Infinite Crisis. My absolute favorite version of the League. Love love love love thank you for doing this!

[@flywheelshyster]

man DC Universe has the entire grant Morrison JLA run so i started reading this yesterday. I love that moment when one of the League say, "we can't die like this, we're the justice league!" i fell out and it reminded me of this episode. off to the coffee maker!

[@jaydenmyles2356]

Could you possibly do dark victory?

[@bgajdek]

I find myself saying "This is one of my favorite episodes" for almost every episode... Thank you for great content week after week.

[@ineptgamer3814]

Another great episode, guys. Can't believe such kewl content is free..! Thanks for all your time and effort in putting all your videos together.

[@loganflowers564]

I love metamorpho and think he's awsome

[@vguyver2]

I like the character too. His appearance has always looked dated and strange. I actually hope they redesign him slightly so he actually looks cooler but still keep his strangeness intact.

[@liverusrock6789]

At least DC is bringing him back in The Terrifics.

[@FloorTankMain]

I don't know all that much about Metamorpho, but I liked him when he would pop up in books I was reading and I LOVED his clone/kid Shift in The Outsiders v3!

[@Charles-ct6jn]

Thanks for keeping "Gunthar says" I love it

[@PlayForLOLs]

I've got the first four collected volumes of this run, its such a purely fun comic. Maybe we'll see more of this run in the future? The Prometheus arc is pretty neat and very 90's-tacular!

[@magnumcornetto]

Morrison's JLA was a great run, with a relatively weak ending (World War III). Mark Waid, and later Joe Kelly, were more than worthy as follow ups. After that, the book took a nosedive. Speaking of Electric Superman, Morrison was the one that had Superman do the most creative things with his new set of powers. Much better than in Superman's own running titles.

[@oatmat]

Fuck yes I've been waiting for them to do more Grant Morrison JLA for such a Long Time!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Eudaimonia239]

hahahahhahaahh loved the grant morrison impression

[@ElectricChairJ]

Is it just me or does Protex look like Nuclear Man from Superman 4?

[@tanyaharmon6739]

Shut thy trap

[@Hamblinjordan97]

No one does impressions like Sal!!!! Lmao!!

[@MrCeratix]

as one of the few diehard metamorpho fans, i really think he should have kept his 2000's era rebranding as "Shift". ditto with the redesign. it was one of the few edgy rebrands that didnt suck

[@endergamez5874]

I could sit and watch Sal do a Grant Morrison i impression. Same with his Alan Morroe

[@32SamMoore]

Sal's Morrison impression is fucking gold 😂😂😂

[@stewartmichael02]

Lmao it looks like Ben and Ethan swapped clothes before they started

[@runaways1915]

6:00 Ben mind went somewhere when sal brought up the pods

[@TheSolarTutor]

I love the comments that appeared during the video.

[@ElKoobaDor]

Hey guys you're the best. I love the concept behind back issues it's really great and original. You may have heard this question before but have you ever considered uploading the audio as a podcast like you do the Elseworld exchange? I enjoy listening while doing physical activities but it's hard to listen through just the KZbin app or site. Keep up the good work guys!

[@ryangibbs8821]

I think i only read two stories from that entire era of justice league and it was this one and the two part obsidian age(?). Both were great reads and i hope you cover it. Great episode as always

[@Grievousish]

Finally able to catch back issues as it's released. Feels like being back home. Also if I knew anything about wrestling this'd be the right title to make that joke.

[@comicbookkaiju20]

Ya'll should totally do "The Life and Times of Martha Washington in the Twenty-first Century". Totally underrated story, honestly think its right up there with TDKR and Watchmen. Keep putting em' out, I'll keep watch em'!

[@rorschach221]

GOD. Wally! Batman! *Grant Morrison voice* Superman! This is the shit my friends.

[@Lecon223]

34:45 Superman was basically Rob in Spider-Man Homecoming!

[@omarel-hajj4368]

Can you guys do more indie books? I really liked your sandman video

[@jonryder7269]

omar el-hajj But thats vertigo, which is owned by DC, so does that count as an indie book?

[@mobsta163]

Jon Ryder 90s vertigo is DC owned, modern Vertigo is indie

[@jonryder7269]

kakyoin MILF HUNTER rly?

[@PontusPresents]

@Jon Ryder: Vertigo is still an imprint of DC Comics, not independant.

[@jonryder7269]

Pontus Presents Thank u, my point exactly. Heck, sandman has an inpact on the latest crossovers so they certinlly arn't to independent. :/

[@AkiDave]

I loved it when I read it and I loved it even more when you guys did it. Keep up the great work guys

[@comixproviderftw_02]

Sal Morrison VS Salan Moore.

[@cjconcannon8713]

Martian Justice sounds like something that NBC would air Thursday nights at 10 as part of a Martian-centric slate of shows (minus Martian Fire, of course).

[@ryanwalters1682]

It time for Martian Justice! . . . We're going to throw them into the sun.

[@OtseisRagnarok]

Sal hating on D-Listers again... lol

[@macks1280]

You guys should do hellboy

[@haasztamas]

MAXPLAYSFROG agreeeeeeeed 100%

[@JoshMunroe]

9:45 What is this Willy Wonka stuff, Ben? You haven't heard the song? To the tune of "The Candy Man" *Who can take a desert* *Make it lush and new?* *Fix up all the rain and make it taste like honeydew?* *The Hyperclan!* *The Hyperclan can* *The Hyperclan can burn some villains at the stake so you think that they are good* Bought trade count since I started watching Back Issues: 56

[@mttylerdurden9]

I'd also like to point out that when the people begin to burn paper to fight the Martians, there's a guy selling invasion shirts, and then he's sad in the next panel. that was hilarious.

[@joedee9811]

oh man, I hope you do the rest of Morrison's jla run

[@Spydirmonki]

Gunthar is something I didn't know I wanted.

[@andrewwestfall65]

It's really weird that shape shifting aliens have race wars. Am I the only one that thinks that's a weird?

[@megamonmon]

Odin T Havok maybe cause one race shapshifts sliiiiightly differently to the other

[@panthor109thabest7]

Odin T Havok they have different ideals Each side firmly be2ilieved in

[@andrewwestfall65]

Panthor109 the best I understand them having a war, but them having race doesn't make sense. Both are capable of changing their body on a molecular level and just sitting in that form, meaning that whatever color they were born with, they can just change at any point with little thought. Race is something completely dependent on physical appearance.

[@tgrsklz]

Huge fan of infotips that pop up during the discussion.

[@rorschach221]

That Grant Morrison JLA!!! This is my jam, boys.

[@bryancohoon9333]

Any episode with impressions is gold

[@darrenfromwales7978]

What a week, a day late on back issyes. Why do things that knock you down always seem to come at once. Anyway COMIC POP team, thank younfor another fulfilling video with wit a d knowledge. Bles you. Ps, ca tiff do some constantine please

[@evancaban9261]

I'm pretty sure that the red martians were the royal members of their species

[@MG-sb8pf]

The new studio looks fantastic. I really like the background.

[@MrNewguy456]

YUSS!!! Reading through Morrisons JLA at the moment!

[@amazo9435]

That wonder woman pose in the screen nice

[@joeknapik2352]

Dang, dudes! The last 3 Back Issues have been on books that I've been meaning to read. Guess I need to get to it and then come back to watch them later. I'll be looking forward to it.

[@seanrector5264]

Yay! A Grant Morrison book, that means a world famous Sal rant :)

[@themadafaka6839]

the return of the Big 7... when and where is Keith Giffen-Kevin Maguire's JLI stuff..??

[@comicpop]

On the shelf.

[@endergamez5874]

Another Great Video Sal, Ethan, and Ben. Also Tiff, cant forget her 👍🤘👏

[@screaminredz]

Great video! I remember what a big deal this run was when it first come out. Issue 1 was expensive if you didn't grab it right away.

[@dreamons]

Thank you, Gunthar. Icemaiden hype!!

[@BIGGREENWIENIE]

@salsayswhat you GOTTA do the sequel... You know what I'm talking about...

[@panthor109thabest7]

I have waited for this for months

[@atriaofficial8432]

Another great episode Comic Pop team! New set looks great!

[@MichaelHeide]

These were the very first Justice League issues I ever read. I bought the #1 off the shelf because it was a #1 and Kyle Rayner was in it. Starting with Morrison and Waid stories, it all went downhill from there.

[@superluigiac]

Yes!! I love this book, i asked for this a long time ago, thanks for doing it!

[@bergerchicken]

I kinda miss "Gunthar says." Neat little info I wouldn't have known otherwise.

[@robertcorr6971]

Can you please do Justice League 3000, It's so crazy and silly I can only imagine the whole couch's reaction to that Justice League

[@sofaninja0552]

Nice Alien shirt Sal I have the same one in army green

[@rorschach221]

Working the ring is like quitting cigarettes and Kyle feels like a 3 pack a day man. Fuck!!!

[@BIGGREENWIENIE]

@salsayswhat that, AND the one about the Ancient Justice League with the children blood powered Aztec Iron Man guy lol

[@MixTwentyOne]

I could listen to Sal as Grant Morrison all day

[@CosmicNerdStudios]

Sals impressions are spot on

[@reddays8448]

Love Morrison’s impression of Sal

[@ItsMichaelReid]

Now this Justice League is MY Justice League

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

I love metamorpho in the cartoons he's showed up in so far. But why don't they ever use Mr.Terrific, the smartest man in the DC Universe, to solve these problems?

[@TheIceMann007]

Mr.Terrific is actually considered the third smartest man in the world in most stories he's in.

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

Mr.E third? I mean that's still impressive.

[@FloorTankMain]

This story sounds really similar to Action Comics #775 "What's So Great About Truth Justice and the American Way?" Aka its movie title "Superman vs The Elite". Referential, maybe?

[@aidanhedges9231]

Batgod!!!

[@32SamMoore]

Still hoping one day Futures End will be on Back Issues lol

[@bergerchicken]

Whats with flash's face in the background image?

[@welikecomicbooks9758]

Interesting. I really enjoyed this.

[@justicerice3589]

This should have been the basis for the first Justice League movie. It’s MCU-esque but enough it’s own thing it would have been perfect!

[@cmmosher8035]

Does that mean the D list JLA were breathing Metamorpho?

[@Struggler_san1426]

That's the infinite mass punch that the flash does

[@youssefhamed4053]

Holyshittt I literally started reading this book yesterday!

[@sanctusservus4714]

Please don't remind me of the Superman & Wonder Woman romance, I liked it and thought it had potential if given time and good writing behind it. And it made me sad of how it was excised from existence like it never happened as if it was utter anathema to decency.

[@oatsaredelicious2521]

Are those the same Martians from future state JL?

[@comicpop]

YES!

[@smith9747]

As a German I approve of Sal´s German accent

[@javierburgos9975]

Hahahahah, Protex was an antibacterial soap, hahahaha.

[@sonicjr53]

I enjoy this episode even more, now that I've read that entire run on JLA

[@magisterguidice]

Please review the Mark Waid mini series with this version of the JLA.

[@monitor-mindtheover-void6712]

Grant Morrison is the best.
