Please find a way to keep this tradition alive, Jim.
Yes. Happy seeing each upload but it comes with bitterness it might be one closer to the end.
I’m still shocked by the loss of Ed. Thank you Jim for keeping Ed’s wish in releasing these videos.
Rest in Power Ed.
It's astonishing what a huge amount of material they still have in their archive ❤
"The coloring makes me angry, the lettering sucks ass...." Kayfabe Gold!
And you can't get the Essential/Showcase to avoid it.
I thought the colors and lettering worked for the book. John McCrea's art isn't easy on the eyes, and they followed suit.
Hitman is my favorite Garth Ennis project. I'm so happy Ed was around for this episode
Hitman was the Boys done with a bit of class, it's still crass, infantile, it mocks superheroes (as we all should), but it's not lazy, it goes beyond it's initial scope, a very good piece of work by Ennis
When the upcoming omnibus listing came up on amazon they listed it with the wrong price and I slid in on the pre-order
Same! I snagged it for $50 Canadian! It was supposed to be listed as $163.00 😂
What was it listed for?
What was the price?
Don't you just love it when this happens 😁 German Amazon though has found a way around it, canceling your order months later when it comes out saying they didn't get enough copies 😔
Thank you.
The Ed/Jim comic book analysis duo will be unmatched for years to come.
I got all the trade paperbacks for this series a couple years ago, great find
Same. Love this series. Ennis’s writing grabbed me immediately. And the ending….
Those are fun to read in the trade paperback format. Especially the Ace of Killers story. If there ever was a Hitman story that should be adapted to film or animation, I think it should be that story.
I have every issue of hitman. The second year two part zombie story at the aquarium is absolutely hilarious.
Love this run! Hope you are well Jim.
John MC Crea drew me and some other guys into the comic.
He came over with, Glen Fabry and Steve Pugh, to a convention in the Netherlands. We got a budget to take the artists out. And boy did we have good time. I still have a bowling pin we took... And all of them signed. I don't know which issue it is from head. But it's a crew of guys... An Asian, an black thay with cap (that was actually a white guy) a taller guy. And a guy with bags under his eyes.. Thay was me. Man what a few great days and nights we had.
R.I.P Ed i have a Hip Hop Family Tree in my collection that i love.
One of the most underrated things Ennis did!
I think this is a perfect example of how great a writer Garth is. So many other writers would have just done the same middle of the road crap with these characters, but he made them feel like genuine people, characters you actually cared about .
@@jessedub his arc in this is always tinged with just the right amount of humanity. Even six pack and crew really hit home. Ennis has such a great ability for making you root for the person you might just walk past and ignore on the street
It would be cool to get some Ed Merch. A great way to promote his legacy and keep things running. Plus , I really hope Switch Blade shorties get's published. Stay strong Jim! Kayfabe Forever!
love you Ed !!
By far the best Comics channel on CZcams
Keep on keeping on. So proud of you.
Love this channel so much. So sad that new videos will come to an end soon. RIP Ed.😢
It starts off with a bang! No pun intended... ominous words Edd.
R.I.P
Just in time to hype of the omnibus this year. RIP Ed❤
Hitman was my favourite book of all time. I didn't think you guys would ever get the chance to look at it. Thanks again, Jim, for continuing to post these.
ENNIS is the quintessential Hitman scribe
Thanks. Never got into Hitman. I want to check it out now.
A superpowered hitman who kills superheroes and becomes friends with Superman.
He also gets the drop on Batman with the best f-you line of the time.
A great and underrated series
I’ve been hoping for this one
I'm going to miss this series
At the time Hitman was my absolute favorite monthly
One of my favorite books of all time. Love the fact that DC is giving us an omnibus!!
I'm going to keep doing what Ed would've wanted us to do, read more comics.
Hit mans one of my most favorite comics of all time. It’s what made me fall in love with Ennis’s work.
Such an incredible comic.
Was hopeful this would feature on the channel one day. Thanks
I hope you and Tom do something together moving forward. This channel is legendary. Hope you're ok Jim.
Justice for Ed Piskor.
There's a good best of book you can grab, it has 3 or 4 of the great storylines.
How many videos did Ed make before his passing?
I think the king Kayfabers would be able to estimate best if it was every week they recorded an extra vid or just every once in a while. I know they said they did this for vacations or times that didn’t permit being able to record new stuff. I’m sure a lot was used during Ed’s manga quests. Most of these videos seem to be very recent with a few older ones. Perhaps they had doubled down on the extra videos since he was planning another trip to happen very soon. Kinda wish he had been on one of those trips surrounded by friends in a different culture when everything happened.
Heart broken.
🔥💙🔥
And immediately I want a hamburger.
Love to you, Jim. Hope you’re healing
Still have every issue of this series
❤
It's funny how DC has money on the table yet turns it's back on it.
Best DC comic of all time
After one video was released with Ed in it, after his passing I thought "Oh they must have done one or 2 before he passed" Since, Ive seen maybe 10? A week ago I thought, "Was this a hoax?" That would be a very cruel hoax. So I guess they filmed tons of unreleased vids after Ed passed.
