That awkward moment when Daredevil has to call up his rogue gallery and tell them they need to get tested. "Remember that bloody fight we had on the rooftop the other day..yeaah."

[@SpiralSine6]

"Not only did you beat me, but you got the last laugh by giving me AIDS?… Bullseye."

[@shadowanderson2004]

@@SpiralSine6 WHY DID I READ THAT WITH AN AUSTRIAN ACCENT

[@nikthedestroyalator6796]

He should also give Spider Man a call since a lot of Daredevils villains are Spider Mans

[@ML1399TheyStoleMyName]

Tiffany spontaneously appearing the second Dr. Strange is mentioned is honestly the single most on brand thing I have ever seen

[@zayamoone]

"MYSTERIOS- part of a complete breakfast!" "What's the flavor, I don't know!" "There isn't one! There's no cereal!" I laughed way too hard at this

[@Redem10]

I want a comic book about Iron Fist punching AIDS out of people

[@comicpop]

+Redem10 It's called Force Works! lol jk

[@dariquewarren]

+ComicPOP damn that joke is deep lmao rofl

[@TheWazzoGames]

+ComicPOP omg this is the video that i never knew i wanted

[@TheWazzoGames]

+ComicPOP Sal You Have To Read The Greatest Comic Of All Time One More Day 😂😃

[@FatSnorlax]

"I'm Catholic and that sounds familiar!" I died after that XD

[@quirqq]

"Force Works" sounds like a place they helps people write resumes and look for work. :D

[@AyeTySkaar]

Omg... the "Holy Fuck.... Literally" joke had me dying and it was so just snuck in there.

[@MagoDSnowman]

You summoned Tiff with the ancient Doc Strange spell

[@xombiegriffin]

I can only imagine the newspaper. Daredevil: Hero or BABY MURDERER?

[@Keyxei]

Sal, I'm only responsible for about 5-8 views on each of these back issues episodes, but I have downloaded the entire playlist using KZbin red. this is my favorite series on KZbin by far. you guys deserve many more subs, and congrats on 300,000! keep up the good work and good luck to you guys in the future! love you guys

[@comicpop]

Thanks Papa

[@Keyxei]

+ComicPOP I just shit my pants. you responded

[@estebanhughell709]

I also use KZbin red is it better for you if users use red or watch ads?

[@FutBoy281]

Sal doing Dr. Orpheus every time Dr. Strange shows up makes my day

[@fiaschampion3379]

21:09 I spilled my drink with Sal's delivery

[@Curtistoocool]

"Holy fuck..literally" The only time that line will ever be legitimate. Thank you for that

[@WDFilms25]

Sal has the coolest girlfriend I'm so jealous. Also you need more 4 people back issues

[@Brainiac356]

4:51 It would be kinda funny if Daredevil just can't trust spider man anymore because of the deal with mephisto and because of Daredevils faith.

[@caitlinbrewer4843]

The worst part, Bullseye is probably the best part of the Daredevil film. At least he is so bad he is good.

[@vfxninja5503]

His jacket makes snake noises.

[@fightingmedialounge519]

So this book can pretty much be renamed mysterio the ultimate troll

[@Seasonal-Shadow_4674]

Kye Dysarthria Kingpin gave him the info though

[@raymondfisheriii791]

And at the end Daredevil was so disappointed that it was Mysterio all along that he essentially berates him into killing himself and he doesn’t even seem to feel too bad about it. And weirdly enough, I get it, because the second it was revealed to be Mysterio I also had the immediate reaction of being so pissed off that it was Mysterio that I was like killing him would be too easy and it wouldn’t even be worth it to pummel him, so I was fully on board when it got to the part where Matt just dresses him down that far and just says “stop wasting our time and just tell me where the baby is so we can be DONE with this.” It’s honestly cathartic. I feel like a lot of Spider-Man’s villains should get the treatment of “I don’t even have the energy to care about dealing with this same bullshit from you again, let’s skip to the part where I just save the day and we go home and maybe you rethink your life choices, yeah?” Like imagine if Spidey does this with someone like Shocker, or Electro, honestly, since those guys usually just focus on robbing banks and committing crimes for cash or other selfish reasons. Or Vulture just because he’s so fucking decrepit at this point it’s a true wonder why he’s still putting himself out there as a villain. Dude should’ve retired a long time ago.

[@TheLoreStore]

Ethan was on point this episode! Hilarious lol

[@antdujar]

I freaking love you guys and the channel. the sense of humor, comedic timing, just a good group of people talking on good stuff retroactively, and presently making great use of context and content. while having fun with the stories . all in all, I just love this channel. great work as always!

[@rbraunbeck96]

33:14 If you mention Doctor Strange, Tiffany will come

[@alexandrumarin8981]

HOLY--! Ben predicted the McChicken at about 41:30

[@nightwingr]

Since the clone saga from time to time ethan or ben keep asking if X, Y or Z character is a clone . Thats great jaja

[@comicpop]

+Rodrigo Alvarez They're right to ask!

[@michaeloreily2321]

This is one of my favorite books. 1. cause it's Daredevil. 2. cause it's written by Kevin Smith. Great job guys, as always.

[@weedwin7356]

Its so great that whenever I finish a run, I can search Comic Pop and find a back issues video covering it. And also that 'Holy Fuck' joke at 14:17 is incredible.

[@SalamiTactical]

Sal: *talks about daredevil for 30 minutes Tiffany: ... Sal: "So matt goes to see Dr Strange- Tiffany: NANI

[@kordelshorgar122]

this was the first comic i ever read :') ohhh the nostalgia

[@kordelshorgar122]

+javier solarte also i love this book

[@mikeyfrankel]

14:18 "HOLY FUCK- Litteraly" genieus 😂

[@flywheelshyster]

going on the best back issues playlist for the "bullseye" jokes alone lol

[@GreenTengu97]

His heightened senses are a superpower, but it's one of the most mild superpowers in the Marvel universe that, while they put him over the skill level of an average dude, is nowhere near as powerful as someone like Spider-Man or Captain America. He's actually one of the weaker heroes in the Marvel universe. That isn't a bad thing from a story perspective, though. If anything that's part of why he's so compelling. Because it makes it seem like less of a give-in that he'll always come out on top. (He's commonly attributed as being the Marvel Universe's Batman? But the reality is Batman could probably kick his ass very easily with his gadgets and shit. But then, Batman's Batman. He beats everyone even when he really shouldn't be able to.)

[@Mr_ULTMT]

I actually really enjoy this story. It’s really edgy but also enjoyable as all hell. Solid art too

[@aznsketcher]

3:50 I didn't know that about IRON FIST! that Spider-man part was hilarious to me for some reason... need to read this TPB before the 20th Anniversary issues coming out starting this week...

[@gdgiannini]

33:12 *Swoop* Tiffany! Yay! Dr Strange! Yay!

[@MercysLittleShoww]

I read this trade awhile back. It was super wordy but really good I thought. I loved the picture of the funeral. With Kevin Smith and Stan Lee.

[@zachjones4650]

I've been hoping for this episode for ages! Thank you! I've been asking forever!

[@thelonewolfronstringer6266]

Tiffany sliding into frame is arguably one of the funniest back issues moments arguably because of the thousands funniest moments

[@joshuanelson6795]

Since you brought it up, I'd love for you guys to do an episode talking about _Marvel Knights: Spider-Man_!

[@greenechri]

Tiffany came sniffing around when Doctor Strange was mentioned like my cats when I open a can of cat food. I liked the discussion about Marvel addressing Jesus' return. Elseworlds topic?

[@interregnum_]

Yes! "Mechanical arm" reference! Still my favorite thing about this channel.

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

Yay! Another Tiffany cameo!!

[@TommyWest.]

I thought Kevin Smith should've taken over Stan Lee's every film cameo duty after he passed. Just sort of works. Stan Lee Kevin Smith cameo.

[@lonely-soul-f2v]

11:35 even Foggy is played second fiddle by his own mom when he's next to Matt. Dude can't catch a break.

[@JeffEros]

I guess we know where Sal stands with Karen Page on Daredevil's show? XD

[@barronlucas8054]

I love how Tiffany stayed for the doctor strange part

[@liverusrock6789]

In Bendis's run Matt carves the bullseye in Bullseye's forehead but at least Matt was kicking the shit out of him.

[@retconjunkie575]

+ComicPOP Is there any chance you guys would do Daredevil Born again and or Daredevil man without fear?

[@CAPappy]

I ordered this off eBay a couple days ago, can’t wait til I can read it myself

[@shadowanderson2004]

Honestly I think this is the best thing Kevin smith has ever written

[@123plowry]

You guys should do Daredevil: End Of Days.

[@comicpop]

+Payton Lowry We will

[@accidentalmadness1708]

They did it

[@oxygenerobotoid1916]

Those random zooms into your faces cracks me the fuck up every time. lol.

[@JoshMunroe]

I'd like to have Kevin Smith write for X-Men in a universe where he stopped reading X-Men after 1997. "I'll write X-Men with all the big characters like Marrow and Maggot and Dr. Cecilia Reyes and bone-claw Wolverine! All the most current X-Men!"

[@ericemanwu]

43:52-44:15 Coming from the other side of Far From Home, this is kinda hilarious seeing the guys understand how awesome Mysterio is.

[@liamb1752]

Anyone remember the time Daredevil married a blind person called milia?Then they got a divorce.It was in the Bendis run.

[@orionsdimensions]

I'm not sure if someone already said this but Karen comes:knock knock knocking on Matt Murdock's dooor.

[@Lecon223]

This is such a good episode, I had to watch it again!

[@benbaragona]

+Keywork And like it twice too! Wait, does that even work?

[@nyghtsbayne6129]

We just need to call Mephisto. Mephisto "Hey steve what's up?" "Not much Meph you gotta minute" "Yeah you know just tormenting some souls. go ahead"

[@CometCowboy01]

thank you for this whilst we impatiently wait for it to ARRIVE FRIDAY... sorry little carried away there

[@diegocoghlan5588]

If tiffany and ethan are the same person, nice work editing this video to making look like one is in front of the other

[@thatHARVguy]

The amazing illusion of *MYSTERIO!*

[@MugenNiFukuzatsuna]

Yay, random Tiffany cameo.

[@TheTheDontae]

Sal you can only run away for so long before you have to do shadowland😁

[@AustinShirkey]

He said it'll never happened unfortunately -_-

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

We'll make it happen

[@AustinShirkey]

+Plaguesque Sal stated on an episode of elseworlds exchange that he hates shadowland to the point that he would have to talk about it and it would never be on back issues.

[@stuffstuff8942]

It happened and it was beautiful, boys

[@TheArkAng3L]

Another amazing episode guys! I might get into daredevil now.

[@zangetsu134]

Great episode Out of Curiosity did you guys ever consider doing one of these for Spider-Man: The Final Chapter? That book is so awful and I'd love to see u guys discuss it

[@shaddowrealm]

Fuck yes! I'm so happy to see this in my sub box. And a Kevin Smith book to make it even better.

[@novus3985]

I realize this is late, but in the future could you guys please review Daredevil Redemption? It is a miniseries, only 6 issues, with the writer being David Hine and the artist is Michael Gaydos. It's low on Daredevil in-costume action but incredibly story driven. Lots of legal drama, but it keeps you invested.

[@marinehulk119]

Never heard of that, I want to see them do that now that you describe it

[@kristiantyrrell]

Back Issues isin my opinion, the most informative and amusing comic book show on KZbin. Will you ever do Joker: Endgame? Its one of my favorite comics and would be awesome for Back Issues.

[@derekgreen7319]

Like your vids bros. You guys have sold me on valiant as well.

[@comicpop]

Thanks Derek!

[@alexnejako777]

there's a Bullseye false tooth story in Streets of Poison. Kingpin funds the tooth replacement

[@Jaycharlesjackson]

in regards to the bullseye accent thing, he is british so he would have an accent regardless of who is playing him. then again they could make him american, but I would be a cop out.

[@YAYCONFORMITY]

I read this series up to the point where the introduced the super secret organization behind everything in the Marvel universe... and I was like "done". I believe I made the right decision. Kevin Smith's comic stuff is just way over the top.

[@logansmith2703]

there were 13 minutes left on the video when mysterio said it O_o

[@comicpop]

+Logan smith That is awesome!

[@logansmith2703]

Lol yeah it was pretty weird

[@rafitodavids]

That was my first thing that i read entirely, love this shit

[@biger16]

Man that was a great Daredevil story. One of my new favorite back issues you guys have done. Also, I just have to say Tiffany was always cute, but the way she was leaning over the couch like that . . . nice.

[@parker_pumpyt]

I was not expecting the classic villain mastermind Kyle to be behind this!

[@The_DarkDetective]

What's interesting is the church fight in season 3 was probably inspired by the church fight in this book

[@dentonfilms8446]

Someone was messing around with midi-clorians again :p

[@ohimleyesh4866]

I love your back issues program soo much. Thankx ya'll. - aside, ever get that lil' digest sized comic I sen't with my appreciation's?

[@comicpop]

+Ohim Leyesh I believe so! Was it based off a video game? Thank you!

[@ohimleyesh4866]

+ComicPOP , nope. t'was RetroForce#9. OC's like x-men I made up as a teenager. ( nigh 2 decades ago) I color penciled all in it, like a champ.

[@comicpop]

Ohim Leyesh Awesome! I'll keep an eye out!

[@ohimleyesh4866]

+ComicPOP , I didn't put it in an envelope. Slapped some tape dots on the edge and a few stamps. 4 out of 6 I send that way never make it. I mailed it about 36 days ago. I'm sending one in an envelope this time.

[@animatorlu]

Hey +ComicPop I have a tiny question for you, btw love this story and Back Issues in general, great work guys! Back to the question, you remember the old intro with the buildings and clouds, before this house/play button stuff, who did that animation, it was someone of the team like Tiffany or Ethan or it was a fan?

[@Sicod79]

Wow this Kevin Smith character sounds like he can write a pretty decent comic book arc...as long as he actually finishes it.

[@HellaJayGaming]

Great ep as usual! Can't wait until you do a Punisher book someday.

[@infamouscavalier9446]

How did it take me so long to watch this great episode

[@Shortyd17]

“Holy fuck. Literally” 🤣🤣🤣

[@KRAKEN948]

Oh hell yeah, this was technically the first comic I ever owned, I used to love the daredevil movie, so my dad went to some hole in the wall comic shop and bought me the deluxe hardcover edition of guardian devil. I didn't even know who kevin smith was at the time (I didn't even revisit till like 2 years ago and barley realized he wrote it). In retrospect it probably wasn't the best thing to buy a 7 year old, but i fucking loved it!

[@Ray_Petree]

By far the funniest installment of Back Issue's I've seen haha... Which is sort of sad considering this is a depressing Daredevil story..... Huh

[@brandontriplin5447]

aren't they all

[@tromusic7815]

Will we ever get a Back Issues for Devil in Cellblock D? Lord knows we'll never see it adapted on Netflix.

[@thecockneyterritory4869]

Trevor Kern what comic does Karen die in by bullseye

[@saintlugia]

For future Pavel the Spiderman anecdote is at 4:00.

[@the_rose_garden01]

"You have the anti-christ." "You mean Hellstrom?" "No, no. *Another* anti-christ." "Oh, his sister?" "No, no, no. Another, *Another* anti-christ." "You're losing me here."

Hey I just found your channel and really enjoy your videos, though I was wondering if you ever thought of adding back issues to your podcast feed?

hey don't forget the chemicals that hit Matt is the same that turned 4 turtles to the ninja turtles

[@jbpmichel]

this comic sounds amazing. I need it. XD Thanks for the recommendation!!!

[@toyotatacoma1616]

I don’t really think he actually threw the baby, it was more like he lifted it up above his head and then Natasha stopped him. There’s no panel where the baby is not in someone’s arms, it’s just drawn really dramatically.

[@comicbookreplay2012]

When ben said mysterio has a sidekick named kyle i laugh because my name is Kyle

[@benbaragona]

+COMIC BOOK REPLAY Ah-HA, so you're Mysterio's sidekick/intern! How does it feel to work for a C-list villain? Are the benefits any good?

[@comicbookreplay2012]

Ben Baragona well the benefits suck he doint even give me health care what a dick i don't even make a hundred dollore am lucky to get a 20 dollors i mit just go work for the green goblin

[@Damon.]

You guys should do Born again

[@jameslyon2338]

Ben predicted Kyle the super villain assistant from the Iron Fist show exactly 1 year before the TV show came out XD

Anyone: *mentions Doctor Strange* Tiffany: *spawns from the ether*

[@JakeTheMuss10454]

What is it with Daredevil and his lack of "tools of the trade" his submarine like senses and his nunchuck, billiclub, cain? Whuddup with having lock picks, knuckle dusters, spray mace, a Jo staff, grappler, ?

[@idoperetz746]

daredevil is the best hero out there

[@abrumtherealtor5030]

I got my trade signed by Jimmy himself. He even drew a DD using his radar in it along with his signature.

[@BIGGREENWIENIE]

OK, Sal guys, you ever think about doing the GOOD indie stuff? Like Ellis' Authority? Or Planetary? Sorry, Marvel fan for life but once Wildstorm left Liefeld/Mcfarlane Image it got pretty good. I'll send you guys trades....
