I'm dreading the final video from this channel.
Same. It's impressive how many videos they already had queued up
My sorrow is deep. Love you, Ed.
This has been incredible. The family is big and a lot of fan support. Subs keep growing, the love is there! Stay strong Jim, keep it going brother! Kayfabe Forever!
RIP ED
To the point about SOCOM, I knew a guy that was in the top 10 high scores in the US on PS2 and the Navy called his parents’ house to recruit him while he was still in high school
I believe this has happened a couple times at this point. I went to a recruiter when I was in HS cuz I wanted to take the asvab just for my own reasons but because I scored really well they called my parents house for literal years... Like I was 21 living in a different St and my mom would occasionally tell me 'that staff sgt Martin called again.' this was in the early 00s so I guess they were desperate for signees.
Im the guy.
The Thing was pretty popular in mid 70's to early 80's. He had his own Saturday Morning Cartoon show in 1979. THING RING DO YOUR THING!
Thank you.
Thanks for the praise for Ron Wilson! He's often dismissed or derided, but MTIO was in my top five comics each month.
Just for reference, David Michelinie was 35 when he wrote this. No one online seems to know when Ron Wilson was born, but he started working professionally in comics around 1973.
In the world of cartoonist kayfabe Ed piskor will live forever rip Ed Jim I hope only of healing for you I have Iearned so much from the two of you so awe inspiring
I’m always amazed at the thought behind everything you look at through each video. I look through the same comic and I get a story. You guys get into the mind or the writers, artist , inkers , colorist,letter, editor and the advertising. I love it. Makes me go back and revisit everything with new lenses.
80s was the best time for comics!!!!
Jim Shooter at Marvel!
Independents everywhere!!!!
It's true Cap and The Thing series weren't big sellers, but the writing went to a lot of fun places I think because there was no pressure. I took a chance on each and found them goofy at first, but eventually I always saved my Cap and Thing books in the week's reading pile like a dessert. They'd be lighter and weirder (MODOK autopsy, Serpent Society, The Thing joining the circus) compared to the gritty tone coming in on everything else.
Ed’s childhood stories are a reminder that he was a real human being...that little kid he’s describing grew up and is just senselessly gone now, because his industry peers bullied him into it
The hardworkers of comics still got some vids to upload. Love it
I like how Ed mentions Pac Man Fever. He was truly a man of culture...
Defender ate my quarters in the early 80's...later..Gauntlet ate all our quarters.
I recently been collecting up all the Ron Wilson stuff I can find.
P.S.
DON'T LET THE BASTARDS KEEP YOU DOWN!
A lookback at Swordquest for the Atari and the comics by Wolfman and Perez might be worth a look at.
Thanks for posting these Jim!
Release all you can Jim! Keep this channel alive! You're literally the "only game in town" when it comes to content like this (not this episode so much lol). Hope you keep your head up and find a way to make it happen.
Someone has to give the true Kayfabe review on the Batman year one artists edition!
All I can say is I LOVE THIS. Thank you Jim
Playing Ultima 3 on the old Apple 2c with your best friend till 2am cant ever be replaced.
Video games did kill Comic books and Novels (at least sci-fi fantasy novels). The core demographic of comics and sci-fi fantasy books is young males, and now they are all obsessed with video games. I was like that too back when I was a teen in the late 00's and early 2010's.
Btw...those X-ray glasses dont work. that ad cost me atleast 2 bucks. damn!
Jack Davis was a heavy in Mad Magazine right?
Now this is a topic near and dear to my heart! How exciting! :D
I just miss the Comics of the 70's and the 80's. It all changed for the worse in the 90's..... no matter what some may believe and claim. They couldn't be only seen but read as well. There is a reason why Comic Book readers were known as readers. Words and Pictures used to mean something.
the early 90s were still great, but towards the end of the decade is when everything went bad... I remember when the pages were pulpy, comics were good. When they became shiny, they started to suck.
The period where pop culture reacts to "early 80's video game" is a fascinating little bubble on its own. Everyone - in every medium - did something with it! But I think most of the difference between then and now comes down to how to interpret the concepts of video games, whether it should be primarily aesthetic(e.g. camera views, graphics) or mechanical(power-ups, stats). The aesthetics are more immediate so they tend to appear a lot in these stories; they never have a dramatic turn based on some obscure piece of video game logic. But since more people know have sunk in the time and energy to know every mechanical detail, there are more treatments now that build the storytelling around mechanical lore, like all the isekai stories set in JRPG fantasy words.
The SOCOM story is another iteration of the "Polybius" urban legend, which like all good urban legends, has a grain of truth - there's a decent amount of crossover between defense industry sims and gaming.
"Reactor", on the back cover, is a pretty rare arcade game, but you can see it sometimes at classic gaming conventions.
GAUNTLET!
Has anyone ever used the Ultimate Nullifier? I cant remember an instance.

There was an article from The Comics Journal from the 90s, where a comic store owner was talking about this topic, so it's from the horse's mouth, from the horse's era.
He said that it was very clear that there was a problem. He had an X-Men arcade machine at his store, and that the same kids who used to buy X-Men comics were no longer buying them.
Those same kids would come to the store during an afternoon, and spend more money playing the X-Men game than they did when they bought comics, and then leave without buying any comics.
i worked for DC comics between 1992 and 2001 and i can safely say YES, in answer to the question of video games contributing to the demise of comics. Of course it did. The target market was the same and why would you read a comic book if you can play the game? Who could afford to buy comics after spending loot on a video game?
cool video. Tron was 1982 so it was right around the time of this Marvel two in 1 issue. It's funny how the panel depictions are 2-dimensional side scrolling of a 3-D world, similar to most arcade games at the time. I always viewed Marvel team up and Marvel 2 in 1 as the bargain price, one-off story choice for comics off the spinner rack , so the target audience was exactly what you said- kids who could only get 1. Blip lasted only 1(?) issue as the videogame crash of 1983 was soon to follow. Thanks for the trip down memory lane !
💥Eternal💥
How many are left?
Gauntlet was amazing though. Friggin dwarf.
sylvester stallone should voice The Thing....They should do it!
I love these Marvel team ups and two-in-ones. Precisely because I think taking a good oneshot is an art.
I also have to say that I kind of love this scenario that people were somehow afraid of being trapped in the virtual world. I mean, good until the Matrix came along and showed how you can do a story like that well. And hey, what's scarier now, knowing that your kids can be spoken to another mission? correct, predatory monetization.
But hey can someone really write my comic like that with such a similar idea of being sucked into the video game, but fed up with all the problems of modern gaming, predatory monetization, buggy start and loot boxes.
Atari Force was 1983-1985
The Xbox drone stuff is bonkers to me still. It's like Enders Game going on.
What drone stuff?
Nvm, I should have guessed it was some shitty kid commenting.
Comics did abandon the teenage boys audience atcsome point post the year 2000. Not sure why but it was a huge mistake. Most stuff now is for adults or little kids. You can't tell me the lore heavy Xmen and Green Lantern comics are made for anyone that isn't an adult fan. Even the indies like The Walking Dead and Hellboy are written for adults. Now gaming, anime, RUclips embraced teens and now they fly in private jets made of gold.
I think comics are killing comics. Just write a good story and the rest is second and then webtoon ruined a lot. Video Games are a whole different can of worms. So no video games are not killing comics. Comics are killing themselves. Same thing with videogames.
TV killed comics, made kids lazy, where they are fed imagination from a screen instead of reading and formulating your own imagination by placing yourself in the actual comic, same for books 😮
Has he found his other independent comics freind that he can keep the chanlle going.
No. Manga killed comic books.
Aren't Manga comic books?
