Ben taking out his phone, so funny. "What, DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER PLACE TO BE?!?!" 😂😂😂😂

[@robertwild9447]

"How to deal with dead girlfriends... for dummies!" Haha XD

[@michaelsayavong2656]

7:35 “The reigns of the captain Americans” After the death of Steve Rogers , 4 individuals emerged to take the his place. Each of the 4 fighting the other the mantle of Captain America. Cyborg Captain America (cyborg Superman) The liberator (Eradicator) Private America (superboy) US steel (Steel)

[@zmo7305]

Holy shit, I'm giggling like a fool

[@terry10tnj]

“They are putting crossbones in the civil war movie” for all of five minutes before they killed him off lol

[@TooDamnDank]

That look when he took out his phone

[@royal6827]

Sal's confusion when Ben pulled out his phone was hilarious.

[@HappyMan0203]

It's funny, Cap never did die. He just got to live the life he always wanted. Honestly, a much better way to send out Cap than just having him die.

[@Geekdom101]

Found you guys through Rob's channel. Subbed. Very hyped to go through your archives of videos!

[@reffdaddymagic2891]

same here! I binge watched every episode of back issues over about three days, well worth it!

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

Geekdom. You're way past late to the party man.

[@richardmack330]

+It's Over 9000 Productions So the fuck what!, way to be a complete douche.

[@richardmack330]

+Geekdom101 Welcome to the POPulation!

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

Richard Mack woah. It's just an expression. Calm down.

[@ddaug3149]

I loved the death of Captain America along with Ed Brubaker's run on Captain America

[@JoshuaOfGrandRapids]

I fell asleep watching your Guardian Devil show and woke up after this video played in deep sleep and influenced my dream where I was hanging with you three and (lol) Chris Evans. We were talking about an eventual Cap death in the movies and whether we think Sebastian Stan or Anthony Mackie to replace him and I kept trying to say that I didn't care if Bucky or Falcon replace Cap as long as we don't get a new Steve. But I couldn't say anything because my grandfather inspired the character and I kept crying trying to explain it. Fun fact: I woke up having actually cried. Fun fun fact: none of my family have fought in WWII and I have no idea why I'd have that fake detail make me so emotional. Thanks for the fun dreams.

[@puffnisse]

If you only knew...

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

I just made myself feel sad and terrible. Imagine Rhino sobbing while he was picking up the pieces of his wife's tombstone and saying: _"This is why Rhino can't have nice thiiings."_ I know Rhino doesn't usually speak in the third-person, but that's how I heard it in my head.

[@clashcitycretin10]

when did rhino cry?

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

clashcitycretin10 Somewhere between grieving for his dead spouse, getting a random Spidey beatdown, and having his broken body being left with the remnants of her tombstone. Oh, and remembering that each bowel movement is a living Hell. I'm surprised when he _isn't_ crying, really.

[@spiderbatman97]

+Just Some Guy with a Mustache Is his mother grave actually, but is still sad

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

pious83 I love the 60's Spider-Man. Best theme out of all of them. I've always loved Captain America but that Ultimate version while cool is just- what the hell man.

[@snowbazbooknook9728]

I feel like if spiderman would have sat there rhino and solemnly grieved with him. If they were writing him in character.

[@MrShadowRage]

That was a real reaction when Ben pulled out his phone..lol

[@Seton7588]

So, both Cap and Batman were presumably killed, but actually sent through time? It's like poetry, it rhymes.

[@UltraVioletSkully]

39:53 if i were a betting man

[@Sicod79]

Wait so you are telling me a comic book character died and did not stay down. That seems unlikely.

[@comicpop]

The Dickens, you say!

[@jackhovatter]

When I read the letter Captain America left Iron Man I wept, sobbed like a child beautiful storytelling.

[@5trafficcone921]

Two Hawkeyes are always better than one, that Matt Fraction run proves that fact

[@spdrwrtr]

9:34 very prophetic for how Secret Empire turned out, Sal

[@sam.e.a6422]

I was expecting tiffany to show up when you mentioned dr.strange

[@shekia18]

Tiffany was doing the weekly pull while the were filming if I'm assuming correct

[@roshi3063]

+Hitch Slap (Hitchslap) if your name is reference to the late Christopher, then best name ever good sir.

[@alexm2930]

At 1:59 Sal make a wrong prediction about character in the Marvel movies!

[@dannydevito3152]

You guys should do Immortal IronFist

[@Mojospider2099]

Carnage USA plz do it...R.I.P Cap until he came back

[@Mojospider2099]

Again

[@ferociouscamel767]

+Brandon Ortiz yes do that

[@Evyscreations]

18:33 Totally on the sly Ethan joke 😂😂😂

[@DarkClassicGamer]

The kraken's my father😂😂😂

[@tompantaleo9441]

Discovered you guys a few days back. Ive done nothing since but read comics and watch your stuff. Sal, im really hoping you get to the ultimate spiderman arc where peter and logan have that freaky friday incident. Id also like to see Daredevil Devil On The Inside, the first story by Ed Brubaker which chronicles Matt Murdocks time in prison. Those would make funny episodes.

[@comicpop]

Thanks Tom!

[@JoshMunroe]

30:03 The Depression story teaches us one valuable lesson: NYC needs more than one graveyard.

[@MindlessWonder]

It feels like episode 100 was just a few weeks ago. Thanks for numbering your episodes so I can realize how much I have failed to do.

[@austincole7286]

top three Wanna-See-Books on Back issues Carnage USA (for the 4th of July of course) Ultimates 2 (Thor Jesus and Giant-Mans dong) Ultimates 3 (When everyone acts like Captain America is old fashioned because he thinks incest is icky)

[@jtparker6286]

Austin Cole lmfao

[@Martin_TheCollector]

I actually like this book, mostly cus David Finch & Leinil Yu's phenomenal art!!!🎨B-)

[@GatSaiden]

Carlos Pacheco, Avengers penciler in the Kurt Busiek era, had the wild idea to make Hawkeye Cap's son in a story. Pretty weird, but interesting for an elseworld story.

[@levimiller1161]

you guys are awesome!!! maybe more indie comics? would love to hear about haunt from image or something!

[@Yakerbb]

You guys need to cover the beginning of Brubaker's run AKA the Winter Soldier arc.

[@philiplbc]

Such an amazing episode!

[@pewerjenius]

Sal's fuckin face when Ben pulls out his phone. Holy shit. My ass has actually removed itself from my body through laughter.

[@sheevinit1490]

5:45-5:49 When you're mid conversation and an absurdly attractive women walks past.

[@RP-ct2xu]

I bet Hawkeye's eulogy was him just going "Not like this!" and flying away in a jetpack.

[@jtparker6286]

Ricardo Palacios Hawkeye can't fly

[@jabezcreed]

You need to publish the tangent about Iron Man and the decapitated SHIELD agent as its own video. That was great! lol

[@mohammadsaad4624]

Hey, Sal! Love the channel and everything on it. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO DO ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN!!!??

[@PR0MAN01]

This is the first time I actually own a copy of the issue they're doing and I'm gonna read along

[@andresirizarry503]

I love the Doctor Strange voice lolololol

[@darkangel160]

I've read Bucky Barnes: Winter Soldier, Bucky's arc after Original Sin, and he goes to outer space with Daisy Johnson (Quake), does sci-fi shit and falls in love with blue space queen named after a brand of inhalers.

[@mr.pulpnoir3526]

I feel like Frank Castle would give Peter some good advice on how to deal with a lost loved one. I'm not joking.

[@maxnewman1688]

Are you guys going to do the Ed Brubaker run both pre civil war and post fallen son?

[@MusaMansu]

Ares is actually pretty cool in his one shot as well as in Hercules: Heart of Chaos. Ben is just didn’t know how to use him.

[@liamb1752]

Haha when Ben took out his phone!That was great!

[@Paola-h]

Can you do a back issues of The immortal Iron fist?

[@chrisd7562]

Sal's reaction is so damn funny to that phone

[@nathanwright8381]

Love this story!

[@gloriacalderon4789]

Thank you.

[@ianmckee4726]

Hey Sal, what books of Annihilation did you get? I have a copy of Book two (cover of surfer scowling on front, super skrull snarling on back) that you can have if you want. This book collects the miniseries for Super Skrull, Ronan, and the Silver surfer.

[@cjconcannon8713]

Ethan's shirt is awesome!

[@_facepuff5328]

aaaand falcon is the new cap in mcu

[@dmmf7738]

Could you do a Back Issues of Extremis and Ed Brubaker's Winter Soldier arc?

[@sammurphy7672]

I just rewatched the ghost rider episode. Sal mentioned that the Punisher Max series was amazing. Why don't we get a back issues on it? Should be fun.

[@Astralspirit716]

Can you guys make a shirt of that How to deal with dead girlfriends? That's just great.

[@xmenhunter]

hi can you do a shadowland back issues?

[@mttylerdurden9]

since you reference Batman the return of Bruce Wayne, are you going to to a back issues on it?

[@batfreeze56]

What a fitting shirt Ethan is wearing

[@fostuh6369]

Hey guys, would you consider doing a back issues of Invincible by Robert Kirkman?

[@DaDude95]

So what your telling me is this is just an episode of quantum leap

[@McComrade3765]

I wish they would flesh out the character of Ares. it looked as though they would with the new contest of champions, and then didn't.

[@ashleybeggs3527]

Maybe they could release one of them shorts like 15 minutes call it front line

[@r.babylon2885]

I love Ben's JAWS reference.

[@sonofgod2907]

Herp Ah Durp - Sal 2016

[@geekmangacomic5281]

I know this is unlikely, but I wanna see a back issues on NYX.

[@sophiadickey2829]

Do Starman Vol 1 by James Robinson. Then do all of Starman because it's great!

[@TeemoQuinton]

I'm happy they didn't cop out Hank by making him a Skrull #UnpopularOpinion

[@yolanda8563]

No Ben it's sarcasm and redheads.

[@jda3comics693]

I got the trade paper back the death of captain America great read

[@sammurphy7672]

Why don't you guys do ultimate spider man. The best stories to take from that are probably the death of spider man and miles morales intro.

[@cheryldragunoff4129]

+Sam Murphy too long they will tho i think

[@sunchywunchy9461]

+Sam Murphy The best parts are issues #1-90, atleast for me.

[@sammurphy7672]

All of it is great. It's just those are probably the most groundbreaking parts.

[@sonofgod2907]

I really want to check it out but my marvel unlimited account just chooses whenever it wants to work

[@brandontriplin5447]

Are u reading his current run .if u are how is it

[@MercysLittleShoww]

Is this the only time Captain America ever died? Because I have some Captain America comics from the 90s called Fighting Chance that seemed like he was going to die. I don't have all of them so I don't know.

[@JClassic305]

Aww, I missed Gizmo Duck Strange

[@liverusrock6789]

Man, Brubaker's run on Cap is great but kinda weird.

[@brocksamson25]

Crossbones and Wolverine fought in a Fear Itself tie-in.

[@KUZ3NBO]

I bet he was pissed that they killed off crossbones

[@jtparker6286]

Gabriel Barnett spoiler

[@mitchellgeorge2560]

Watching you talk about how you don't want two steves is ironic because now there are two steves

[@acezanders1715]

SO ,shouldn't their be a body in the arctic frozen ?

[@vesonator]

I enjoyed reading Death of Captain America but I was also thinking how dumb some of the elements were... brainwashing/trigger planting, space/time guns, Red Skull hijacking his body....

[@joshualamontagne4727]

Wasn't Hank Pym the one who betrayed Tony's side in the Civil War comics? What's he doing hanging out with Iron Man?

[@Martin_TheCollector]

+Grievousish Is it good?

[@Grievousish]

Martin Aguilar I really like it. Bought every issue so far. It's about a former soldier who works for a secret ops organization run by his brother. He doesn't really have powers but he has a suit with built-in shields as well as electric tonfas.
