[@MagoDSnowman]

My butt is ready for Holy Terror

[@DarthPlaguisMC]

I just have to say, I really enjoyed the inclusion of annotations for specific issues and dates in this episode. There are 128 other examples of how the show works great without them, but they just add a little extra that I really appreciate. They weren't intrusive, they lasted a perfect length of time and they gave interesting, specific information that would have been really difficult for someone not as well versed in the going-ons of decades old comics, and I would just like to say thank you to whoever came up with such a great idea, and hope they are here to stay.

I find it interesting that planet hulk and world war hulk both are gonna hit 100k views around the same time. Love these discussions, some of my favorite.

[@chancegoss623]

Almost at 40k, hope there's an ULTIMATE back issue you could cover.

[@Seton7588]

40k could be a Warhammer 40k comic!!!

[@austincole7286]

like Ultimates 2 which was the best one or just try to condense Ultimate Spider-Man into a 11 part series or the first arc of Ultimate X-Men, the run by Mark Millar or Ultimates Dissambled or Divided We Fall like there's a ton of good ultimate stories

[@TheWazzoGames]

+Austin Cole Yeah I think Ultimates 2 is the most likely pick to be next since its near the ultimate universe's start

[@TheWazzoGames]

+puffnisse they did ultimates 1 and Ultimatum and they've been teasing ultimate Spiderman since like 2014 on back issues they would do.

[@bgajdek]

Definitely like the pop-up footnotes. Nice touch.

[@noahspanels683]

Hey guys, I just wanted to tell you that you've all been an inspiration to me to finally make a youtube channel about comics. It's been a longtime dream of mine to make one and Sal in particular talking about his teenage years with comics really struck a cord with me. Ethan and Ben have helped me also see comics from a new perspective and read them with some sense of realism in mind, and Tiff has gotten me into indie comics for the first time in my decade or so of comic reading. (GrizzlyShark is amazing.) Anyways, I'm planning on sending something to you guys that I hope all of you really dig. Thank you for helping me love comics again, too, as even as a 7-8 year old OMD ripped my heart out as my favorite childhood story was that of MJ and Pete.

[@comicpop]

+Noah's Panels Thanks man! Good luck and looking forward to hearing from you!

[@Redem10]

Can you do Dark Victory please? or any story where Dick Grayson is as an important part

[@ohthefeels1600]

@Redem10 All-Star Batman and Robin has already been made.

I should have specificy it must be a Good story

[@bacsilva]

[@CMast3r]

This was the first story I read from beginning to end when I got into comics, good time and good watch!

[@dragontears]

Adding the reference issues was awesome! I'm off to Unlimited to check out that microverse story! Great episode, y'all.

[@DrMadd]

Wow you weren't kidding when you said it was the longest episode. I think it may be longer than the animated movie.

[@SpiralSine6]

It is, by about seven minutes.

[@gideon5386]

YES! Best Hulk story ever, I was waiting for you guys to do this one!

[@Ka_Five]

The Kevin Smith video just popped up on my feed out of nowhere and I listened to that while at work. You mention at the end a Back Issues coming out "tomorrow,", and I had to go search for apparently one of the ones I didn't catch up on! I think this is it!

[@camaraf1340]

You guys should do Sals fever dreams as its own back issues episode haha

[@skyyswaggstudios2934]

Sal's fever dream is similar to that one episode of futurama where bender is a God to tiny people living on his chassis lol

[@SUPERFIST59]

Oh my god, Sal’s fever dream made me laugh so much I cried

[@MagoDSnowman]

So the Fallen CW 2 tie in deals alot with this stuff, the warbound show up to hang out with Skarr. Also this sounds alot like John Carter of Mars. I quite like John Carter, so I am interested in this.

[@marth354]

World War Hulk was the first issue of back issues I watched. A great episode.

[@bobbydawkins3]

I was so amped when I saw death's head in this story as a squad. Such an obscure marvel character. I remember his solo book in the 90's along with Century and several other characters who got solo books at that time.

[@Alistair3900]

Love that captions to give info seem more regular now. It's a really good way to give some context for issues and the like :)

*holds up beer* For Old Jade Jaws, may he rest in peace.

[@JOHNsmith-hr1lo]

[@Taskmaster-1218]

And yeah for those who don't know Bruce is dead...Barton shot him in the face and he's dead. If he's coming back, yeah probably but hey we get to drink!

[@DaveFu]

I'm a guy with a bow and arrow and I just killed the Hulk, none of this makes sense!

[@Taskmaster-1218]

Dave, he killed him in human form with an arrow specially designed by Bruce to kill Hulk in case "Hulk came back" because he'd been depowered by that Cho kid who is doing the hulk thing now. Barton got tried acquitted of charges, now the Kid Hulk is making a mess, I hear they're sending in one of the big boys, all I know is I didn't get the call and that's fine by me taking on the Hulk doesn't pay anywhere near enough even if it's the dame.

[@DaveFu]

Do you ever think you're in the wrong line of work? You'd make more money in Vegas, you can impersonate anybody. Nothing bad happens to Earth 616 Las Vegas. I'm close to getting Captain Cold to quit robbing banks and just use his cold tech for medical patents.

What's a gindar?

[@Iceteague1]

Greg Pak and Peter David are the best writers for Hulk because some knew what to do with Hulk but some don't. Jason Aaron had a cool run, Gerry Duggan did a really fun run, and Mark Waid did some cool stuff with his run. Every other writer is hit or miss.

[@samshaw3657]

insanley good retelling.

[@oranginator]

Omg, HELL YEAH! Also, will you guys ever review or go over the Scott Pilgrim series or Preacher series?

[@MagoDSnowman]

I remember Sal saying that he is not a big fan of Scott Pilgrim. But i think all of them like Preacher, at least Sal and Ben, because previous conversations on a Ghost Rider episode.

[@chriswait9679]

Some of the best episodes are of things he wasn't a fan of.

so Sal was dreaming about being SAL the living planet! And no Sal. It doesn't work like that. The hulk can actually mutate resist any adverse situation. Like that time on space? he was using some glands he has that produces a oxigenated liquid that allows him to survive underwater and on low oxygen places.

[@Thundergoddess]

I'm soo excited you FINALLY did Plant Hulk.. it's been years no?

[@Seton7588]

I thought James Cameron was on the set of Piranha 2 when he had that dream. Also, your dreams sound pretty rad Sal.

[@comicpop]

www.businessinsider.com/james-cameron-came-up-terminator-during-dream-2015-6

[@Seton7588]

Yep, they were filming in Rome when he got sick and had that dream. He broke into the editing studio while some of the higher ups were at Cannes. That whole making of Piranha 2 is pretty nutty. They talk about it on the RLM commentary of Terminator.

[@bconwe6420]
