    My heart breaks whenever Ed mentions his upcoming art exhibition 😢

  • @jamezdd73
    @jamezdd73 Před měsícem +104

    This is the first vid I've been able to watch since Ed passed. Feeling mixed emotions. Absolute sadness knowing cognitively that Ed is no longer with us. But I'll be damned if I didn't manage to forget once or twice hearing the boys break down some JRJR gold. It made me realise that, in a way, Ed is still with us through these vids. His spirit lives on. I'm so thankful that he was so gracious in sharing his knowledge and passion for the comic medium. And I'm so thankful that Jim is continuing to share these videos with us. Hope you're doing alright, Jim. I imagine this is an incredibly difficult time for you, but I hope you're surrounded by supportive friends and family, and that you know there's a whole community around the world that are sending you love and support. Read more comics, folks.
    PS I'm with you on this, Jimmy - the ice pop torture switcharoo works perfectly.

    My heart still hurts. Miss you Ed. Still dumbfounded you took a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Thank you Jim for keeping this going. May all the pain wash away in time brother

    There’s a Wizard with Chuck Dixon, it may have already been reviewed, but he has stated that whenever JRJR gave him a page, he only had to use half the dialogue he had written due to the solid storytelling.

  • @jch417

    One of my all time favorite Punisher books and favorite JRjr works. Thank you for taking a look at this. God bless you Jimmy. RIP Eddie P. Prayers to all his family and friends.

    So grateful this train is still in route… it’s heartbreaking to hear Ed’s voice with so much knowledge, passion and charm discuss and breakdown JR JR. I still cannot believe he has left…. So unbelievable… Thanks Jim for keeping the train on the tracks… so very much…. Only found you guys a month ago… love and peace… forever

    I knew it. Klaus Janson inker. He's got a very cool style that adds to the og art.

    Fuck man, this is gonna be tough for awhile. Thanks Jim for the uploads, we all appreciate it. Hope you're doing okay brother. Still thinking of Ed's family, too. Must be brutal.
    I had this issue signed by the man himself a couple years ago....badass. 💀

    No cap breh, I think what I'll miss the most is honestly the Shoot interviews. Boy howdy does this suck. Once again prayers to the family Piskor, prayers to Jim and his family, the Scioli family. R.I.P. Ed. Sundays and Mon-Sat aren't gonna be the same. SIGH!!! Many blessings!!!

    I really loved the slightly cartoony style JRJR used on Star Brand, sort of had a Michael Golden vibe.

    This is exactly the type of video that made me a fan of this channel. Two guys who know what they’re talking about, going over a comic from my childhood that most would probably just dismiss. Much love, Jim. Can’t imagine what you’re going through.

    Love JrJr punisher. The best punisher in the industry. I'm glad Ed and Jim did one more punisher issue before Ed's passing. He's my favorite character and they are my favorite narrators.

    Always assumed the Punisher came out of the Executioner series, the Equalizer TV series. More Donald Hamilton than Travis Mcgee

  • @williammahaffey354

    The shadowed image of Punisher that Ed highlights right before the break has a real Eduardo Risso flavor.

  • @chucklee6858
    @chucklee6858 Před měsícem +6

    Losing ed was losing 40 something years of life history that's no joke that's a lot of history and mammaries for some people...all of those years learning how to draw and all of those light nights staying up drawing ..we lost a lot of comic knowledge with Ed's passing.

  • @geaux6034

    As a kid I hated this JRJR cover in addition to the Cable cover. This channel helped me appreciate his work as I got older.

    I am on board with Jimmy, I collected comics during this era and I always thought JRJR was same quality of art as any of the Image guys. As time has gone on, his art has stuck with me more also, as the Image guys' quality of work went down, JRJR's stayed consistent. I put JRJR in the same category as George Perez, just amazing, super solid dude that can draw anything.

  • @666Otomo

    Never liked his style but watching the paneling unfold is really impressive.

    Ed talks about Noriega being in the news. How old could Ed have been in the 80's.. but only age 6. I'm Gen X and I barely remember. So off-handly knowledged in many interests. What a loss and my condolences. You are remembered well, Ed. Thanks Jim for keeping the memory afloat for as long as you can. It must be difficult. Sorry, again.

    Till this day I enjoy JRJR art ! I don’t care about the hate or cartoony look he does , for some reason I actually enjoy it me it works for me , maybe because he was one of the few artists I enjoyed when I started collecting comics. Thanks for posting this video… it’s kind of bittersweet ..

    "You're a fan boy. Don't confuse yourself into being an artist, a creative. Because we are two sides of a river." WELL SAID Ed Piskor! As an artist, I admire John Romita Jr.'s artwork, always have, and I am so glad Ed Piskor put it best. Miss Ed Piskor putting things into perspective.

    1992 ? I thought this comic came out a little earlier like 1989 I'm surprised to hear that.
