"Tiffany: Wait crucified like on television... Sal: like with bad publicity? Tiffany: yeah Sal: yeah no like...on a cross" This moment was priceless lol. I love this channel

[@kevinmarques7716]

When it comes to Jubilee's powers, there's a cool scene during a Gen X storyline where Synch, her teammate that can share other mutants' powers, is possessed by a villain and he starts using Jubilee's powers and just starts ANNIHILATING the city and causing massive explosions. And she's terrified because it's the first time she sees how much destruction she's capable of and she refuses to ever let that happen again. And that's why she always holds back. It was a cool character moment for her.

[@jeff8008]

Wait..Ethan is injured? Are you saying that he got...TOO Physical?!

[@jeff8008]

I saw it. I took it. Sorry, not sorry.

[@shaddowrealm]

Legendary #TooPhysical

[@lillizilizard]

There is no such thing as too physical. Never too physical.

[@DWilliams621]

man your channel is awesome. I thought you'd have more subscribers. I'm a trucker and I listen to your channel every day and you need to make more videos before I run out lol.

[@comicpop]

Thanks so much!

[@MysticalGreenBeanie]

in westchester i fought and trained with the X-men i spent most of my days chillin out maXin relaXin all cool then i crucified on the front lawn of my school by a 90's eXtreme guy who was up to no good this dude started actin racist in my neighborhood i took a nail in both hands and it got me real scared so i moved in with my secret agent aunt in bel air

[@r.babylon2885]

+MysticalGreenBeanie I knew someone was going to do this. There's always that one person. I salute you sir or madam.

[@blackpeter70]

+Allen Babylon Word.

[@draiseg6178]

MysticalGreenBeanie congrats you have a wonderful brain.

[@below159]

Can we get the Scott Snyder Swamp Thing run and the Jeff Lemire Animal Man run because their stories intersect to make one big story

[@jacob_ian_decoursey_the_author]

I’m still vouching for this!

[@MmmmmApplesauce]

I can't speak for every single mall but i know they do have people who work security at the big mall here. I know in the late 90s-early 00's they patrolled on bicycles which i learned during the Playstation 1 midnight launch. I assume that's been replaced with the segways the security people ride during the day now but considering it's 2015 they probably don't actually patrol as much since they probably have HD cameras every 5 feet.

[@scottwilliamson5804]

I used to listen to sports radio at work ... now I listen to ComicPOP

[@bradwatkins7564]

I had always thought that Jubilee's look was a play on Robin. Tim Drake debuted I think the same year but Tim's debut got a big marketing push.

[@MinddKidzag]

Shooter's original name was Fingerbang.

[@r.babylon2885]

+Mindd Kidzag That is the second South Park joke I've run into on this video. The first was Jewbs.

[@Geezyk]

I feel like Ms Marvel is the sort of thing this was trying to be, but just executed so much better. Great episode as always!

[@hiphopsouldesigned]

seriously better than tv keep up the good work

[@comicpop]

Thanks Shawn!

[@slayerking88]

From what I learned from watching Back Issues is that Tiffany likes saying the word husk. Watch their episode on Spider-Man: The Other for more evidence on that.

[@eugenideddis]

Ok, but the “dump him” advice could actually be clever. Anytime someone asks her what to do about relationships, her response is always “dump him”, or like have one time a girl be head over heels in love ask Jubilee if she thinks he’s the one and Jubilee responds “You’re talking about Chuck right? Well I don’t like him so you should dump him”. Just constantly have her advice be actively terrible, because she has absolutely no desire to be there, and as such will put zero effort in.

[@shamanthramachandra9610]

hi guys...you deserve way more subs

[@devinafrica685]

nice to see you guys keep your selection so suprizing

[@ATERRADOSmtg]

You guys are the best , all this videos are so funny they help me with my depression thank you and keep them coming

[@RNABrand]

I met you three at NYCC in Artist Alley. I got all the original Uncanny X-Men and Jubilee's first appearance. I am old... kinda. I was with Ace who penciled most of the issues for Dark Horse's Shaper.

[@KOBUN40]

Oh, I misread the title of this video. I was about to say Jubilee is one of the few X-girls who won't have back issues.

[@InoMercy]

I would love it if Jubilee became a reacurring character in the new Wolverine book with X-23.

[@tromusic7815]

I'd read that & I've actively avoided the X-23 book :|

[@InoMercy]

Why, it wasn't great but not worth avoiding. Although I've only read one issue.

[@NerdGasims]

This was a Xcellent episode!

[@brianadkins3880]

I'm no Jubilee expert either but a little surprised you didn't mention her crucifixion mirroring the first time she met Wolverine in The Uncanny X-Men which was her saving him from a crucifix after being nailed up there by the Marauders. The cross was even an X.

[@rodney2x48]

I couldn't stop laughing at so many moments. You guys are great.

[@Avarn388]

I love Jubilee. She's hands down my favorite X-men character. What drew me to her(aside from seeing her in the 90s series) was how estatic she was. She in my view the person who represented a facet of the X-men that in my view is important: that being someone who loved who they were. Jubilee was a character who was outgoing and fun and loved being a mutant. It's understandable that mutants would detest themselves, especially given the hatred. No doubt a representation of Civil Rights and the Gay/LGBT movement. Much like those movements, Jubilee represents those who took pride in this. As such, it was that aspect that I always liked. Because it was a contrast to a lot of the more dour characters/backstories she had. Also, I won't lie; I loved her in Generation X. With that said, I don't consider myself a Jubilee expert. I love the character, but I don't like using that term, because it could rub people the wrong way. I'll admit I was disappointed with her post House of M, but I enjoyed the characterization that followed. it's a shame she became a vampire. How sad. That said, I hope she's represented well in Apocalypse. At least Singer got her look right. I can't say that about most of the X-men. Great episode.

[@kronemerj]

I am quite the jubilee fan as well i think she gets a bad rap

[@Daniel-zp2pi]

Jubilee has now gotten her original powers back!

[@scottwilliamson5804]

you guys should be paid for this !!

[@jeremyjohnson9053]

i love the vampire impressions. can i get an edit that is just Tiffany and ben?

[@oatmat]

jubilee was 13 i think when she joins the x-men

[@EdertheJust]

Has ComicPop read the issue where Jubilee becomes a Vampire? If so, Can we see that one. I really don't want to read it, so its better if you tell me how it is.

[@NerdsOnlytv]

While Jubilee becoming a vampire was a bad idea from editorial, the story arc was actually kinda cool. It pays attention the previously established vampire continuity of Marvel

[@r.babylon2885]

They call her Jewbs? As in the Cartman joke about Jewish boobs?!

[@tatchimittv]

I love your shows.

[@Atem_in_the_streets]

Dammit Meg, befriending mutants. Hilarious episode as usual!

[@the_rose_garden01]

No wonder nobody likes her

[@batfreeze56]

Hey there! I found this channel about 2 weeks ago, and I have to say that Back Issues is definitely a new favorite show of mine. I have a suggestion for a new episode though and I know tons of people have probably already asked you but I'd LOVE to see your thoughts on Batman Endgame.

[@yeastu]

+Batfreeze didn't that story just wrap up?

[@symbiote1982pk]

It was the Purifiers working with Rev. Stryker that crucified Jubes, OZT came yeeeaaars earlier mid-way through Generation X's run.

[@Nauty_nation1990]

Jubilee is pretty dope in my opinion.I had ni idea sge existed until the 90s X men tv show. But for some reason she stood out to me as a kid.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Well, time to put this story on the ole Suck-It list. Get it? It's like a Bucket List, except once the activities have been completed, I'm not dead, I just want to kill myself.

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

That was dark as hell.

[@davidesterley3163]

I remember Jubilee was introduced to me through the cartoon and I eventually saw her in the Jim Lee X-Men run so I thought she was cool

[@tree_fingers]

is it thursday? Did I miss a day? You guys are throwin my whole schedule off! hehehe ;)

[@interregnum_]

Can't speak for anyone else, but I'm here for the 30-year-old commercial references.

[@thetreeshaker4143]

An x-ceptional episode. Keep rockin comic pop

[@Ansaman1]

If my purchase wasn't going through, and someone told me in an eerie voice to just "take this," I would assume the thing is haunted.

[@Simplesource98]

Jubilee used her pink sunglasses for what can called a "Solar Flare."

[@Promixewiththeword]

jubilee was my favorite character.

[@marnetteryes2613]

Would you guys ever do runaways back issues?

[@calvinjluther]

Kirkman writing Jubilee? Now this I gotta see

[@mitchellgeorge2560]

Do my eyes deceive me? An early back issues before Thursday paradise found.

[@fearloathingingeneral2877]

I remember being a kid when that Generation X tv movie came on. My uncles and I were so hyped and we had a tape ready to record the whole thing. We laughed our asses off. It was cOrNy back then and it's cOrNy now

[@GerudoDragon74]

Would you guys consider doing New Ways to Live? Anti Venom Punisher team up tho

[@CuckooGames]

She is my favorite

[@kevinmarques7716]

Generation X was awesome. Don't base the comic off of your opinion of the movie. There were plenty of great characters on the team. Chamber, Husk, Synch, Penance, Jubilee, Monet, and of course Banshee and Emma. It's one of my favorite X-teams although the "junior team" was done better in the 80s with the New Mutants. Still my favorite Marvel series of all time.

[@CreimeadhFearga]

39:06 what the hell haha

[@shamanthramachandra9610]

+comicpop tiffany is awesome!!

[@boldlygoing1352]

I hate that feeling i get when there is a new back issues!!! .... then i realize its an X-Men episode

[@MegaCoyoteFilms]

Drinking game, take a shot every time they do an X pun.

[@CarlosCastillo-sf5yk]

20 minutes in and it looks like Sal its regreting this comic and its gonna get another one! xDD

[@jessiyhudson2248]

Jubilee is still my favorite.

[@MikeDo_0]

Did someone go out on location for that in-mall photo? I must know.

[@yeastu]

Princess Bride reference! score!

[@jonasbrothersrockist]

Both Jubilee and Kitty Pryde are my 2 favorite female X-Men characters!

[@trollbot6405]

storm and jean bruh

[@jonasbrothersrockist]

+Troll Bot Are they your favorites?

[@trollbot6405]

+jonasbrothersrockist oh yeah. but I'm a fan of all the x women tbh

[@trollbot6405]

+jonasbrothersrockist oh yeah. but I'm a fan of all the x women tbh

[@jonasbrothersrockist]

+Troll Bot That's cool. Jubilee and Kitty Pryde are my favorite female mutants!

[@connorpalmer6454]

You guys make me wish I had friends to sit on a couch and talk to.

[@domgeek5632]

Sal: He's a black Weatherbee. Riverdale has a black Weatherbee.

[@ArvynnTababa]

this episode is just full of X-puns :P

[@austinwelt7277]

now she is a vampire that is a runaway lesbian, who has a goth pixie as a girlfriend and (spoilers).....a bully with ice powers whom has a random crush on her. by the way Molly and skaar are the best part of the book by far with cloak and dagger as a close second.

[@Amadeo78]

Now I really want know how old the New Mutants are.

[@fcm3d]

I love Jubilee she deserves better.

[@patrickaizpurua9468]

X-traordinary episode guys!

[@DamisaSarki]

I love back issues

[@comicpop]

+Steven L. Loper Thanks Steven!

[@Anna83Britton]

I named my daughter Jubilee! 😍😍

[@_Smile_Today]

Does this book pre date kirkman doing invincible?

[@philcowan5456]

Absolutely love the channel guys! May I suggest Swamp Thing volume 1 by Scott Snyder in the new 52!

[@calvinjluther]

I knew a guy in high school named Jubal Lee.

[@Lowkidoe29]

Aahhhh Back issues we meet again

[@jasonmcdonald8199]

Can you do Star Wars # 10 next on Off The Rack? And what do you think of the last page? Who is that!?!?

[@thomasgladwell435]

please please please review the X-Men Golgotha series

[@adrianescobedo8039]

Vampire Jubilee vs blade.

[@dezmondjones3248]

Will u guys ever do batman no mans land

[@XEspadaSaDiosX]

God I love the DnD references XD

[@julianhumphries2721]

This episode was X-ceptional.

I worked on night shifts in malls before.

"bleh" xD

[@silverninja5218]

RIP Benny. 😢

[@parkerfrazier1414]

sal do you mean meg from family guy that how you explained here

[@jtsupersized]

92' Jubilee is my favorite. My. Favorite. Fite me Sal.

[@mclovinU2night]

work on that song ben. I had one for ethan coming back

[@sickboyshadow1984]

NO, husk was in it, the blonde guy with the x-ray vision tried to look at her and she almost beat his ass

[@mnnm522]

never guessed

[@bgajdek]

Vibrator joke for the WIN

[@kaotikguy]

No one cares but I think Jubilee was crucified during the horrible Chuck Austen run by William Stryker's son, not Bastion. oh and, LOL..Sal: "Gambit is arguably the sexiest man in the 90's."

[@AdisNukicCaptainBosnia93]

never knew he wrote for marvel besides the zombie stuff.

[@bradleystroup1457]

jubilee seems like a character that would be easy to write for to me, but then again I'm 26. this book, though is like the most cliche teen movie or even made for TV movie, but on fx so you get the good filters to cover up the horrible choices.

[@JoshMunroe]

After Irredeemable Ant-Man and this, something tells me Robert Kirkman may not be the go-to writer for female characters in Marvel.

[@Spydirmonki]

So which Fox/Marvel made-for-tv-movie was worse? Generation X or Nick Fury?

[@Allean_Adkins]

I named my daughter Jubilee.

[@185PerCentJuice]

HAHAHA Banshee for the Win!!!!

[@tristanbastille8554]

Hey don't back talk Zero Tolerance. It was the first cross over event I got to read when I started reading comics as a kid! Do Zero Tolerance on Back Issues!

[@liverusrock6789]

So that book was free/stolen? nah, probaby they put a "if you buy more than 2 books you get a jubilee book for free" sign in somewhere but Sal and the salesman didn't see it.

[@ellrick]

wait wait wait... whats wrong with "erin go bragh hair!?" Sincerely, an offended Irishman

[@comicpop]

It's a crappy American expression. Trust me, we love our Irish ladies.

[@ellrick]

Im not really offended, but I see why people take offense so quickly on the internet. Your capitulation was exhilarating

[@adrianescobedo8039]

Jubilee is a vampire now.

[@comicpop]

You should watch the episode!

[@charlesbutler8095]

+ComicPOP! Your reviews are awesome and so accurate, unlike others on youtube.

[@madrex47]

chamber, wasn't he the leader of Gen X?...

[@LaraFoley]

I'm going to be that pedantic x-fanatic. X-Factor in the 1980s was just the original X-Men pretending to be Mutant hunters for hire, who would then save said mutants under their other cover The X-Terminators. The teen X-Men book of the 1980s was New Mutants

[@TheGreatDevlin]

The first Back Issues done out of spite?
