Kayfabe, your passion, talent and knowledge is beyond legit and it comes through in every video. I’m in my late forties and every episode is a time traveling treat back to my youth. You guys do amazing work, thank you.
Always felt like Carl Potts was a bit underrated. Wrote some NASTY Punisher stories, played to Jim Lee’s strengths (War Journal had a bit of a high-tech edge, compared to regular Punisher) Any idea why Potts did breakdowns, and what that meant? Why did Lee “need” that?
I jumped on to Punisher War Journal around issue #18 but bought a TPB containing these 2 issues which I read over and over. This story is easily my favourite Jim Lee work.
Read the Italian version back in the day and those early Punisher were all printed in black and white! I think the inking looses its punch in colour. Glad to have read those Lee and Portacio's Punisher in black and white
Bought #7 as a kid at a 7-11 down the street! And I was buying Classic X-Men at the same store at that time. I started going to a newsstand later that same year.
I have this 90s reprint with In one book. This dude had a video store selling some 90s comics and some were brand new. Sadly years ago he closed down. I Bought some sick image books and marvel books from him. The owner told me he owned a comic book shop around my area but the LA riots happened and his shopped got flocked and took him awhile to recover. He had a son that created a indie comic but I forgot ... i wish i kept his number....
Hell yeah, Amazon just dropped off my The Crow hardcover and the bois have a new video, this is my kinda lunchbreak! Plus the Punisher in daisy dukes, what more do you need.
There are very few covers I like from this period and onward (not counting ones by Perez, Byrne and any artists from my time). But BOTH of these two covers definitely are very cool! Within a couple years of Punisher's creation we were expecting these two guys to fight "any month now". Daredevil, Wolverine, Iron Fist, Cap, Kraven and Shang-Chi were assumed opponents of Castle's. Not sure how many of those finally happened, but I hope they got covers worthy of them, like Lee gave to these.
They're not doing Pinburgh anymore, so I guess I won't be visiting Pittsburgh for a while. Used to get so excited flying in for the tournament. When you see the football guy and the t-rex you know it's time to party.
I absolutely love these issue deep dives. Sensational stuff. A humble request if you ever have a chance, I would love to get your dissection of Wolverine #90 (1988 series), vs Sabretooth. Cheers
Carl Potts is a super cool guy with a ton of great stories and comic knowledge. He also loves to talk. I'd love to see you guys do a shoot with him.

Welcome to the club👍
Jim Lee's & Whilce Portacio's Punisher looks soo much like Dolph Lundgren; prolly why he's still my favorite on-screen Punisher.
I’ve always seen a lot of Howard Chaykin and Kevin Nowlan in Jim’s faces back than.
Oh YEH!!! 2 of the best comic covers of all time. 1st meeting of the 2 badassest comic book characters from Marvel.
The last two minutes of this where y’all went on a tangent about dinosaur bones was fucking gold

Brontosaurus was de-classified then RE-classified as a real dinosaur a few years back. So it's legit again!
And now there are three species of Brontosaurus
Haven't played Bubble Bubble in 30 sum odd years, yet the theme played in my head immediately

I bought these issues a few months ago. Since, I've been redrawing some of the panels to practice with my art.

Was the Blades of Steel song just the Hockey Night in Canada theme?
Very good comics
If only the Boaz Yakin had written a graphic novel with Jim Lee.
Wolverine's torso on that cover looks HUUUUUGE!
Eh, sorry to be that guy, but...pretty sure Jim Lee drew Wolverine in a issue or two of Alpha Flight before this. This certainly beats those though!
Super cool issue!
I love your content, fellas. Thank you.
Then channel is fin awesome.
Jim Ross is currently with AEW.
