I loved how at the end of Superior Spider-man, Green Goblin finds out Peter is back to being Spider-man because Pete made fun of Osborn's manpurse.

And the best part is as soon as he finds out he tries to leave. I guess he remembers getting stabbed with a glider.

[@TrackMaster844]

Right? One of my all time favorite Spider-Man moments

[@cisnerd_2093]

"It's like that scene in Vanilla Sky." Ethan: "I never saw Vanilla Sky, are you fucking kidding me?" Never change, Ethan.

[@DSIan]

Originally Green Goblin had like a weird witch motif, he even had a broom before the glider lol.

[@liverusrock6789]

"MJ is in love with Peter until the universe ends" That's kinda romantic and tragic at the same time, right?

I actually never realized how "teenage" Ultimate Spider-Man was. I guess I just never picked up on those nuances.

[@jakemurphy4832]

I absolutely love it when Ethan cracks up. Only three minutes in and this is my favorite episode so far.

[@jihef03]

616 Green Goblin is basically Halloween-Man .

[@ethanrichmond3992]

42:47 One of my favorite Ethan moments. Sad, desperate, creepy Peter Parker.

[@HQ_Default]

An Ultimate Goblin vs Regular Green Goblin story would be a pretty cool read.

[@777Saviour]

I'm glad we're getting more ultimate spiderman!! Ultimate spiderman is one of the best runs on spiderman. I hope we see more volumes of this on back issues

[@awsome_power]

The more and more i listen to these videos, the more i realize that Andrew garfield's spiderman is based off the ultimate spiderman, even down to the looks.

[@Albino_Basilisk]

If only they made lizard look like a giant basilisk lizard like the ultimate universe and not the Mario movie goomba

[@Diablo3364]

And that is the reason why they are My favorite movies

[@Cubelarooso]

44:19 You were staring right at me and I felt like I did something wrong so I'm sorry please don't be mad.

[@adsjj1]

Those Dark Knight references at the end killed me, please make it a tangent so I can revisit it often with ease!

[@brandonhines25]

Man I really love these Ultimate Spider-Man episodes of Back Issues. I don't know if you'll be able to keep doing two volumes per episode but if you can please keep doing it because it's practically two Back Issues in one.

[@dteague3]

"And thucks him through the heart just like Steve Irwin"...too soon Ben...too soon...

[@casteanpreswyn7528]

Now that I think about it, goblin lore in d&d and Pathfinder definitely was hugely inspired by the original Green Goblin...

[@AlexWilliamS-el2vu]

28:00 moments like that are the reason, why i love this series

[@tromusic7815]

I wish I could like this a thousand times for the Vanilla Sky reference

[@jameslyon2338]

I love how many false flags Sal throws throughout this episode XD

[@gravityape7708]

The Ultimate Spider-Man episodes of Back Issues are some of my favorite

[@Farmeryeti]

That Vanilla Sky reference was my favourite part.

[@EZ95]

The vanilla sky scene making it's round on social media as the reference to it on here makes it better

[@brianpetraglia7366]

Lol I love the sadness on Ben's face when it is revealed the captain Stacy is dead and can't date Aunt May

[@alanvelezpadilla1839]

Yo today's my birthday an Ultimate Spider-Man is one of my favorite comics! I'm loving July 12th!

I can't emphasize enough how much Ultimate Spider-Man is my favorite Back Issues recurrence

[@wilagaton9627]

Spiderman Back Issue right after Spiderman Homecoming premier? Is this a TIE-IN???

[@TheKingOfRooks]

42:47 Jesus fuck this is the hardest I've ever laughed during one of these videos lmao

[@DrMadd]

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong but I thought Harry's therapist was Bart Hamilton (aka Green Goblin III in 616 continuity) not Miles Warren.

[@bottlecap7533]

No, it's Miles

[@nuao88]

They never clarify that, he is simply referred to as Dr. Warren. Later in the series Aunt May dates a dude called Miles Warren (who is a doctor) but it's only mentioned once and we never meet the character. Because Bendis 😉

[@JoshMunroe]

The "Just some guy" element of USM was so frustrating at first, because I wanted it to be connected to the larger villain pantheon, but I later appreciated it as a natural expression of Spider-Man existing. Of course random jackasses are going to take advantage of a guy in a full bodysuit and mask.

[@georgeking4276]

More Ultimate Spider-Man please

[@Depthcharge2030]

My day is now good. Thank You COMIC POP!

[@andiebrown7792]

Please do Demon in a bottle, or the Armor Wars.

[@victorkain3500]

Please do more pre-Ultimatum Ultimate Marvel. I love the shit.

Such a good surprise when you started the fifth volume half way in!!

[@karimzaid9726]

i think i remember the ultimate spiderman storyline from the ps2 game, it was really fun and i think wolverine shows up at one point, that was the best spiderman game sept for all the FUCKING human torch races

[@bryancohoon9333]

This was awesome

[@ultimatewall-crawler5292]

Yeah another back issues on Ultimate Spider-Man. Can't wait to see if you guys do Ultimate Six, which also features the Ultimates. It's pretty good I have the issues in singles.

[@metmexfan]

I love ultimate spiderman!!!! thanks guys! Sometimes you make me want to start my own youtube channel just so i could eventually chat with you and the rest of twp! My friends don´t know much about comics but i find myself usually in scenarios like back issues where i explain what happens in the comics when we hang out.

[@thebatpanda5987]

Sal, you're a God. Thank you for this heavenly gift.

[@brianadkins3880]

43:19 Classic Ben look. lol Not only did the Wasp tell Peter he was bad at being a super-hero but believe it was an Ultimate Team Up book where Ultimate Daredevil just verbally runs Peter down telling him he's an idiot punk kid and he should take Pete's mask off,beat him up and send him home never to try being Spider-Man again because Pete is going to get someone killed. Sal's brief story about his high school girlfriend reminded me of the lines from this old Garth Brooks song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJTSlKqCj75jZpI

[@codystahl5935]

I can understand everything else with the transformation, but why fire balls?! That's dumb... if I were writing it I would have gone with anything else if they had to have pumpkin bombs I'd say because his transformation, he can excrete some kind of highly unstable sludge from an orifice in his hands or wrist and when thrown it will explode on impact .

[@MuggMen]

Anyone else think that guy was Cletus Kasady? He's a known cat burglar in the ultimate universe, only name-dropped when Peter I think is trying to look up the black cat if memory serves?

For the last time, _I did not kill Captain Stacy!_ I don't make it a habit to tussle with freakin' Spider-Man or murder old men because that's how I get my rocks off! Its just an unfortunate coincidence! _Look at this mustache!_

[@tonyjohnson5669]

yeah you sir. kind of look like him. changed your hair and all but it could be you.

[@Grievousish]

Just got to that part and thought the exact same thing. But remember, no one should have to justify a fake mustache.

Fake mustache?

[@thebestofthebest5724]

Hey comic pop could you please do the Spider-Man hobgoblin storyline?

Is it just me, or does Gobby have a serious _not dying_ problem? And I mean moreso than other comic characters.

[@jesselion915]

I'm really not sure if anyone pointed this out , but Ultimate Miles Warren is just a boyfriend of Aunt May. I love this channel so much though and love watching Back Issues
