Everybody praises and loves the MAX run (and so do I!), but Knights had so much dark humor and fun. I love both series, and own all 3 Omnibus. Some of my favorite Marvel stuff!
I think the only true difference was MAX allowed Ennis full creative freedom to go dark and violent as much as he wanted with zero restrictions where Marvel Knights, he was being careful even though that was pretty dark and violent itself for Marvel. My favorite Punisher story by Ennis would be Born. Never read anything like it :)
I love the Marvel Knights run in it's own right because of it's sense of humour and simplistic yet dark take on the Punisher and I think there's something to be said for the way Ennis was able to implement his mature and violent style in a mainstream comic.
he brought the punisher and nick fury to life , marvel never did any good war comics , DC was and is the king of conflict but marvel had a few good side characters and ennis kicked the dust off them and breathed new life
RIP Steve Dillon. Probably the greatest facial storyteller of all time.
Facts
May he be remembered as one of the definitive storytellers out there
I know, real shame of the business that we’ll never get another Steve Dillon punisher story 😞
His ability to draw facial expressions. Nobody can compare.

@@quizmo1000 Born is amazing. Not sure if I can pick a favorite though. The first arcs for a Knights and MAX each come to mind, though.

The marvel nights stuff feels more like preacher then max max is more dark
Garth Ennis is the best writer
One of the first trade paperbacks I ever got was Welcome back frank
Good to see you back, Mike!
Loving these Behind The Panels. Keep it up!
CLASSIC RUN
Also loved ennis ghost rider runs
more garth ennis!
SYFY Wire should do another video on how the Marvel Knights line saved Marvel.
garth is just a genius
Garth Ennis's Punisher and Preacher are the best works I've ever read. Can you guys do a video about Warren Ellis next? :)
Yo, Frankenscastle might have been a misstep, but it wasn’t the angel killer Punisher.
I bought most of the Marvel Knights titles to support Marvel, but didn't read them. Just stuffed them in the sleeves and put them in a long-box.
Awesome!
Awesome video
Also...good job y’all.

Every Punisher movie fails to capture the comic book character ☹️
Also...so many spoiler panels.
