I read this event at least 10 times when I was a kid

[@glitterbomb1162]

I think probably the rollerblading is the most '90s thing of this event.

[@glitterbomb1162]

Professor X: greetings fellow kids! Aw thanks, Ramsey's mom!

[@Jexel999]

Back when comics were awesome !!! Great review !

[@mikef8450]

i got the propaghandi joke

[@josephharden5592]

They sold that pack at Walmart. Which is why so many of us have this . Our parents hooked us UP. 😊 and helped continue or start so many comics fan journeys

[@CaptainAway]

Oh yeah, the Walmart comic packs. Man, there were some good ones in there back in the day!

[@TevyaSmolka]

Maybe it happened in age of apocalypse crossover with strife but I don’t remember.

[@CaptainAway]

That would be a reasonable guess, though that would be confusing since that was basically an alternate timeline that never happened but also did? I think the idea was to allude to a story about stryfe in the future that I'm not sure they ever ended up doing, but, again, I could be wrong.

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@CaptainAway that’s true and you’re right about that and honestly both options could be valid given strife as a character is really not that interesting in my opinion.

[@misterlau5246]

I came here for the nostalgia factor

[@johncampbell1191]

Same here, but the guys disdain for the 90s (references, mocking the characters' gear of pockets, guns, more pockets, more guns) was not cool. Overall, nice trip down memory lane.

[@misterlau5246]

@@johncampbell1191 ha ha ha yeah, I took it as exaggerated showing of those times 😆when one is a kid  seemed cool to wear wide pants with lots of pockets I never used 😆😆😆😆

[@glitterbomb1162]

Your Stargate references restore my faith in fictional humanity

[@seanfulldark]

I got it! And next week apocalypse does the ascension! Becoming a being of pure energy! While kicking Scott through a wormhole!

[@CaptainAway]

Love it! Need more sg1 appreciation in my life.

[@CSionni]

Great videos, my friend. Particularly enjoy your Infinity/cosmic Marvel and X-Men vids. Would you consider doing classic Avengers events? Also, look forward to seeing stuff like the Muir Island Saga, Mutant Genesis, etc! Cheers

[@CaptainAway]

I wish Marvel would publish a collection for the Muir Island Saga. They don't seem to have one yet. I absolutely need to cover mutant Genesis, though. The Avengers is definitely a series I've been wanting to get to. Maybe I can look into that this year (also stay tuned for what should be my next video if you're looking for some Avengers)

[@josephharden5592]

Possibly Maybe- Bjork. 😎🤘🏾 Your music references will never slip past me 😏😁...also, I was buying these as a kid as they were coming out . 😊

[@Ship-security]

Great video

[@phillybugdude]

I’m so glad I found you! Easily the most engaging speaker I’ve ever heard on comics. Long time x-fan, and you really do a great job recreating all these stories. Is love at first listening a thing?

[@vandalistica]

My mom bought me this as a collected book when I was a kid. Archangel accidently cutting off someone's head was 👌

[@misterlau5246]

Oh My ONE ABOVE ALL 😅 back in the day they were at convenience stores, a pack with many of these titles 😳 😟 😔 My parents (+) didn't have money 💩😭

[@TevyaSmolka]

X-men executioner is super confusing crossover in my opinion.

[@Jerel_con_jota]

It meanders a bit.

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@Jerel_con_jota indeed it does meander a bit.

[@glitterbomb1162]

Oh my God I had the same problem with Bishop and Cable. In my defense they're both Terminatoring really hard. Oh Havok you and Klingons have so much in common

[@CaptainAway]

Us and Arnold Rimmer

[@brianschneider3535]

I got the propaghandi joke!

[@chrisjones3372]

Propaghandi reference eh?

[@CaptainAway]

I am full of them

[@mikef8450]

empire to ashes reference as well

[@xombiemike]

BRO I have that same storage box! Two of them. Yeah, I got comic bundles with it too.

[@JAYSMITH-eh7ep]

Pow zoom ... to the moon is how it goes.

[@misterlau5246]

They should have killed Moira so the timeline resets 🤣

[@imeddiewilson1572]

Stargate joke? Cool

[@samt5911]

I got that Propagandhi reference. So that's two of us at least.

[@chrissegee]

Are you going to do Phalanx Covenant?

[@CaptainAway]

I would love to, but not sure when I'll get to it. I usually end up covering X-Men around December/January, just to make sure I get some in each year, so if nothing else I'll be sure to cover it then.

[@chrissegee]

@@CaptainAway thanks I’ll keep an eye out for it next year

[@osyrisRae]

Ok I said fvxk it Lemmi give captain away a shot. VERY IMPRESSED!!! gained a sub.

[@Apollodidyourmom]

I’m a kid of the 90s and growing up I hated Jae Lee’s art and still do today

[@CaptainAway]

I mean, that's fair. Like I say in the video, I don't necessarily consider his art the best here. There's a lot I dislike about his art, but some of the style he exhibits here is at least interesting. I mostly know him as a cover artist and I think that's how I prefer seeing his work.

[@bearlbearlz759]

propagandhi jokes straight kill for me

[@robertfalcone3025]

Jae Lee was a GRADE A Jim Lee impersonator!

[@imeakpan3455]

You’re complaining the entire time while we are trying to watch the story. Give it a rest already. Your jokes are trash and you’re ruining it. Be like Rob from Comics explained and just narrate the story.

[@cboehm24]

This series is what made me stop collecting comics in the 90s. It was the definition of style over substance. A huge boondoggle. The cool-down issue was amazing, though.
