Punisher: Body Count

Introduction - Jake is working hard and a sweet new van has entered out lives.

News - We announce the winner of the t-shirt contest! Afterwards, I talk about my recent guest appearance on The Pull Bag: After Dark! We talked about comic book character deaths. Check it out! Also, here's that cool cosplay article were talking about!

Mail Call - We answer questions about 'roids and show how this show has a dark side.

Bullet Points - We cover Thunderbolts #24 and Punisher #4. We had some fun, but we also let off some steam about the format of how these comics are coming out. They are fine comics on their own, but they aren't great for podcasting, as we will explain.

Flashbacks - We look back on the 2006 issue The New Avengers: Letters Home, which was special-made for those serving in America's military. Can Captain America, Ghost Rider, Silver Surfer, and The Punisher save the stolen emails of our servicemen and women?!

Discharge Papers - Jake talks about his daughter is in love with the show Cosmos, and how he's catching up on The Sarah Conner Chronicles on Amazon Streaming. I go into classic movie mode and talk about watching Death Wish for the first time. We wrap up with some funny Pete Holmes skits based on Street Fighter. Oh, I also talk up the game A Wolf Among Us, but don't by it for iOS.

We've taken the time off to rebrand! This is The Garth Ennis Power Hour podcast, now and forever.

Introduction – Jake and I catch up and I catch PTSD at the barbershop.

[14:36] News – We discuss Punisher TV news and groan under the sociopolitical ramifications of a comic book man's skull logo. Also, here is that ComicPop interview we mentioned!

[54:25] Mail Call– We get asked how the Punisher could take on modern day issues.

[1:18:30] Bullet Points – We continue reading Revenge of the Cosmic Ghost Rider #5 and then wash the taste out of our mouths with some Punisher 2099.

[1:52:54] Garth Ennis Power Hour – Jake and I review Sara, the WWII Soviet sniper comic from Garth Ennis, Steve Epting and Elizabeth Breitweiser. It's a beautifully drawn story from a side of the war we don't hear enough about. Seriously, if you like what we have to say about it a few minutes in, just skip the rest of the segment and buy it.

[3:11:00] Discharge Papers – Jake recommends a boatload of anime and movies, and I talk about the UPS future man game where you avoid ghosts.

Man, wasn't episode 100 good? Consider this the hangover episode, where we try to get by, realizing we will never reach such heights until we get another big name on the show.

Introduction – Jake educates us on safe sex and I nearly die in a Chuck E. Cheese.

News – We predicted Marvel VR, discuss The Platoon, mention Mego figures, and of course dive into Netflix news.

Episode 100 Contest! - The episode 100 contest is still running, and we'll announce a winner next episode. We want to make sure the show reaches as many people as possible, so each of these acts counts as an entry:

1. Review us on iTunes
2. Review us on Stitcher
3. Share the episode 100 post on Facebook
4. Re-Tweet episode 100 on Twitter

The prize is a color copy work-in-progress page from Batman/Punisher: Deadly Knights, the crossover comic done by Chuck Dixon and John Romita Jr.! This was a collaboration work-in-progress page between the colorist, editor, and other artists!

[37:22] Mail Call – We get voicemails from Big Rab and Blackstone, rant about the cycle of Punisher comics, and bring up possible short film ideas, and more.

[1:06:32] Bullet Points – We wrap up Deadpool Vs. Punisher #5, love the direction of Cloonan's one shots in Punisher #13-14, and get through Defenders #3 and Secret Empire #7 (Defenders is fine, though).

[2:22:16] Flashbacks – Frank "fights" Doctor Doom in Punisher #28-29!

[2:41:46] Discharge Papers – I talk about Preacher, and Jake talks about Glow and Highlander: The American Dream comic series.

Welcome to Punisher: Body Count numero siento, where the content is hilarious and the points don’t matter. Within the first five minutes we have a very special announcement about a current guy working on Punisher right now, so stay tuned for that in the next episode! We go through Mail Call and Rapid Fire like a fierce gazelle and we head into Bullet Points with equal grace. There, we discuss mannish-looking women in Punisher MAX #3 and then discuss a villain that will surely not become part of Frank’s rogues gallery. Next, we discuss Return to Big Nothing in the Flashbacks section and things kind of fall apart from there. Listen, I’m not going to spoil anything for you, but you’ll either love our “discussion” or never listen to us again.

Jake and I wrap things up in Discharge Papers talking about a Tim Burton classic and I harp on about the DC reboot, which surely no other comic podcaster has done before.

Welcome to the new year! In this episode, Jake and I discuss some of the drama around Punisher season 2, ruin our relationship with our Australian listeners, and shill for boner pill company.

Introduction – Jake and I catch up on our holiday breaks. Speaking about breaks, that’s what different parts of Jake’s body is doing. I win the lottery and my sister decides to get revenge on me.

Here is my cousin’s podcast that I mentioned and here is my recent appearance on Signal of Doom! I got to discuss half of season 2 with David, as well as get into Ennis’s Slavers arc.

[14:52] News – We talk about the new Guardians of the Galaxy company and the early reviews for Punisher season 2.

Here is that article about Jigsaw that I was talking about.

[28:45] Mail Call – We get some great questions on the Punisher TV show and getting Punisher tattoos.

[57:07] Bullet Points – We catch up with Punisher #5-6. The story is a roller coaster, and so is the art!

[1:33:45] Flashbacks – We go down under (it’s an Australia reference, you see) with Mike Baron’s Punisher vol. 2 #19 and then book a flight to Vegas with Punisher #20.

[2:03:58] Discharge Papers – Jake bonds with his daughter over Dragon Ball and I apparently spoil Megalo Boxing for him.
