Garth Ennis

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.

Punisher Body Count: Episode 128

Ho ho ho it's Punisher time.  Introduction – Jake is an award-winning Malifaux painter and I didn't win much at all during my Las Vegas poker convention! I met a "neat" celebrity and had a minor breakdown afterwards, so that was cool.   [29:35] News – We discuss Punisher super-fan Ivo Santos' appearance in the Punisher: Kill Krew series, rumors of a Punisher show continuation on Hulu, and a gun that's never going to happen.   [46:25] Mail Call – 4chan scares the hell out of me and Jake and I what makes a Punisher comic "podcast gold." Don't forget to send us a voicemail at (347) 878-6474.   [1:02:40] Bullet Points – Good comics this time around:    Punisher Kill Krew #4-5: The Pantera concert that is this comes to a somber crescendo. Highly recommended, either in singles or for the trade. Punisher 2099 #1, I really railed on this comic earlier, but Jake had a more even-handed take on it and makes some good points. Savage Avengers #6, Frank and Conan go on a killer road trip. Punisher: Soviet #1, Garth Ennis returns and it's pretty good, if a bit "made-for-trades."    [ 2:00:30] Flashbacks – We cover (muh real) Punisher 2099 #22-23, where Jake fights his son inside the internet, and we get introduced to a techno-goth villain that quotes Poe and is definitely not a virgin.   [2:20:30] Discharge Papers – Jake hurts himself with Dragonball GT and bashes one of the greatest animators of all time. I gush about the Mandolorian and recommend we return to the ancient ways of media viewing.   Send us your Punisher questions or comments at punisherbodycount@gmail.com

Punisher Body Count: Episode 127

First off, I apologize for how late this was. The episode was recorded in late October, but I got hit with a lot of serious professional and personal problems that stalled me on getting this out. I'm grateful for our wonderful audience and my co-host Jake's patience with me as I worked through those issues (I'm fine now, don't worry). We still plan to release a November episode this month, so keep an eye out for that.   Introduction – Jake talks about Florida Woman and being the lord of manga and I talk about how my degenerate gambling has finally paid off.   [28:30] News – Punisher superfan Ivo Santos is going to be in a comic, and a new Punisher fan film is out! We also get some cool side stories on an ultimate haggler and the Punisher gun funded by the military.   [58:45] Mail Call – Blackstone asks us about the podcast's holiday plans.   [1:05:00] Bullet Points – Good comics this time around:    Punisher Kill Krew #1-3, Gather the war goats and put on some Skynyrd, because we're killin' giants. Punisher #15, for better or worse, it's over. Savage Avengers #5, Jake and I try to understand the brain biology of a Cthulhu creature.    [ 2:12:55 Flashbacks – We wrap up Paul Scheer's Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History #5-6 and then have a brief talk about Frank being an imaginary war veteran in History of the Marvel Universe #2.

Punisher Body Count Episode 126

Welcome to episode 125. A lot of blood, sweat, and re-takes were done to bring the semi-milestone to you. But it was all worth it, since this episode starred executive producer and longtime listener Arch Stanton, who brings his encyclopedic comic knowledge and much-needed normalcy to the table.  Introduction – Jake descends further into madness as he fights against his HOA constituents and tells America how to do sports. I learn my town has a meth problem and do my civic duty against my will.   [42:15] News – Garth Ennis gets back on the Punisher saddle, and at some point Arch tells us about this  amazing toy.   Mail Call – Mercifully, there is none.   [1:02:00] Bullet Points – Here's the comics we covered:    Punisher Annual #1, where Frank and Jameson go to space. Punisher #12-14, where questions no one asked are answered, and fanservice ramps up to 11. Also, that Kingpin challenge is real. Savage Avengers #3-4, WHERE IS MY FAMILY???    [ 2:43:30] Flashbacks – We continue with Paul Scheer's Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History #3-4 and man these guys put in some work. We then do the jet ski meme comic Punisher: War Journal #19.   [3:45:55] Discharge Papers– First off, Arch's audio cut out halfway through this segment, even though he was with us on Skype. I've shortened this segment down a bit due to that error. Anyway, Jake tell us why we need Samurai Cop in our lives and I explain why I want to be reincarnated into an anime girl who is a degenerate gambler.

Punisher Body Count: Episode 125

The wait is over -- comic and prose writer Chuck Dixon has stopped by the show for an amazing interview! For those that don't know Dixon is a prolific comic writer who has made impressive contributions to comics such as the Batman franchise, Conan the Barbarian, and of course, the Punisher (and so much more).   Dixon talked to us about earnestness in writing, how to make sure a soldier is holding the right gun, why Sylvester Stallone is a cooler guy than you know, and why Frank doesn't give a damn about dinosaurs. Our listeners contributed some great questions as well, and of course Jake and I talked to him about those GI Joe comics.   The love that Chuck Dixon has for the craft comes off crystal clear, and if you would like to check out his unpublished work and advice on writing comics and prose, you can check out his blog: http://www.chuckdixon.net/   And if any of our discussions of his work interested you, check out his Amazon page. I recommend the  Levon Cade Complete Series.   The guy is a scholar, a fan, and just a chill person to talk to, and he's welcome back on the show at any time.

[2:17:55] Discharge Papers - Jake recommends Arnold Schwarzengger's Sabotage movie, and I talk up new Cinemax series The Knick.

Punisher Body Count: Episode 66

Get it? It's like the ammo caliber. This whole show has been leading up to that title, so it's all downhill from here. Introduction - Jake and I talk about car financing and dealing with indignant babies. News - We talk about a Punisher mini-series seven years in the making, and perhaps some guest spots we'll be on in the future. Mail Call - We answer Arch's question about how much continuity should be acknowledged in a new Punisher run. Bullet Points - We cover Avenging Spider-Man #22 and Thunderbolts # 11. Short answer? Thunderbolts is bad. Long answer? Thunderbolts is super bad. Flashbacks - In honor of the Punisher's guest spot on Avenging Spider-Man, we analyze Amazing Spider-Man #330 and 331, where we see a baby Erik Larsen figure out eye balls and Jake and I get sidetracked into talking about a cocaine-backed economy. Discharge Papers - Neither Jake nor I talk about Man of Steel! Instead I talk about the weirdness of Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, we needlessly argue about the movie Parker, and get into a cool discussion about V for Vendetta.

Punisher: Body Count Episode .45 ACP

Don't worry about those first five seconds. I love this show, I was just being a grump. Introduction - Hello friend, have you heard of our show Dane and Jake Get Classy? We are still making episodes and you should check it out. Also we get medical update from one of the co-hosts.  [12:40] News - We bust out some upcoming appearances and Punisher homage covers for upcoming Marvel comics, and we touch on the reboots Marvel is doing these days and how they could affect the Punisher. We also talk about the awesome modeling artwork some of our listeners have done, and also watch the Daredevil trailer.  [43:47] Mail Call - We answer questions on Microchip, being captured, and get a Netflix recommendation.  [59:04] Bullet Points - Punisher has a special guest appearance in Wolverines #3, and an unwelcome appearance by the series that-shall-not-be-named.

We get into how the end of the Carlos Cruz saga was a spiritual end to the 90s era of Punisher.  [2:25:39] Discharge Papers - Jake tries not to spoil season 3 of Video Game High School and I get back in the action movie saddle with The Equalizer and John Wick.

Punisher Body Count: Episode 74

Rucka's Punisher isn't out this week, but we still got plenty of other Punisher/Punisher accessories to bring up!  Get ready for more Fury: Cold Warrior, Untold Tales of the Punisher, and Welcome Back, Frank.  I also break a new record in the amount of times I yell at Jake for his awful opinions.  Oh, if it sounds like my voice is getting auto-tuned, just stick it out for a bit.  There were some connection issues this episode, and we're getting it fixed for the next episode.  Introduction - Jake has some good news about his job and brings his car to a auto show. I cry over spilt meat and talk about the weird stuff my grandparents have given me to auction off as I see fit.  They're still worth more than Spawn #1, I guess.  Contest- The contest is still going, but will end by the next episode.  To repeat:  This one will take some prep work, though. Jake is giving away oringal splash page artwork from Punisher 2099, but he's doing it through forumforgeeks.com. If you want to win, go there and register yourself there. Once you're there, find our Punisher: Body Count thread under the pimp your podcast section and comment in it. You don't need to be a kiss-ass (you can even saw we suck!), just comment and you're entered.  Mail Call - I summarize another Rucka interview to give some more info on Punisher: War Zone, and then we answer Brandon Granger's question about Frank Castle's crossover potential with sci-fi/horror properties.   Bullet Points -As mentioned before, we cover  Fury: Cold Warrior #5, Untold Tales of the Punisher #2.  Both are great books that seem to be getting better as time goes on.  Are there any artists/writers you're looking forward to seeing in the next three issues of Untold Tales?  Sound off on our facebook fan page.  Flashbacks - We finally get around to some real Ennis work, and it only took us a year to do so!  Welcome Back Frank brought Frank Castle out of Marvel's gutter, and it also got Jake and I into the character.  In this episode, we cover the first six issues of the series, but if you haven't read it yet, don't listen to us yammer about it, go get it!    Discharge Papers - Jake and I put on our indie glasses and discuss Tyrell Cannon's Gary  and Craig Thompson's Habibi.  Jake also prepares himself for Expendables 2 by re-watching Expendables 1, and I "recommend" Three Stooges.  Finally, I expand my thoughts on Don Pendleton's Executioner series.

Punisher Body Count: Episode 26

Hey everyone, welcome to the first episode of the new year! We got a lot of ground to cover, so let's get started. Introduction - Jake and I bring up a big announcement concerning the show: We've joined the Geekcast Radio Network!  Being a part of this network will give Jake and I some great opportunities and resources for the show, but we're also just happy to be a part of such a good group of hosts who care as much about their subject manner as we do. What this means for you guys is that we'll have some ad placement between the segments from now on, but it's still a work in progress on where exactly they'll end up. News - Phil Noto will be the new artist on Thunderbolts #7, and Punisher will soon be making out with Elektra. Eh, okay. Mail Call - Jake and I answer some mail regarding our movie episode, and I try to defend the Gotham Knight DVD against Jake's onslaught of criticisim. Bullet Points - We cover Fury #8, Punisher: Nightmare #1 and 2, Thunderbolts #2 and 3, and Punisher: War Zone #3! Flashbacks - We cover one of our favorite stories of all time, Punisher: BORN! Discharge Papers - Jake takes umbrage against TBS's King of the Nerds show, and this somehow leads me to that this is a sign that America is crumbling in on itself. Jake also recommends some textbooks he's using in school, and I discuss the Spider-Man controversy.  I end things on a positive note by recommending everyone to go see John Dies at the End, now wherever movie downloads are sold, basically. It's Cthulhu style weirdness combined with characters you'd see from Clerks. It's delightful.

Punisher Body Count: Episode 35

Introduction - I talk about the arguments I've had with my dad over Hercules and aliens, and Jake shows how many fucks he gives about Indiana's smoking laws. Hint: They are zero. We also go into a tangent about dating strong independent women. Also, in case you were wondering, that was Jake's daughter in the beginning. Mail Call - We bring back Rapidfire and we answer a lot of questions about Rucka closing out his run and whether an on-going Punisher run can hack it these days. Bullet Points - We cover Fury Max #6, Punisher #16, and SPACE: Punisher #3. SPACE: Punisher actually managed to sway me back to it, much to Jake's disgust, and we also get into an argument about eugenics. I am so sorry.  Flashbacks - In honor of our 30th episode, Jake and I read What If? #58, which explores what would happen if Frank managed to kill Spider-Man in his first introduction to comics. Clearly, Frank has a good ending in this comic. Discharge Papers - I recommend the book American Tabloid by James Elroy for those that like noirish historical fiction set in Red Scare America. Jake classes things up with him and his wife watching the Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde play and talks about why the Akira movie can't match up to the manga. I also recommend the horror film anthology V/H/S, which is available On Demand and iTunes.

[2:20:50] Discharge Papers - Jake recommends Scrotal Recall, and talk about my experience with the classic noir story, The Maltese Falcon.

Punisher Body Count: Episode 62

After a small hiatus Jake and I are back with a giant-sized episode!  It's got babies, cars, and a Dollar General joke that goes too far!  Oh and some Punisher news and reviews I guess. Introduction - I beam with pride over the birth of my new nephew, and then re-tell a hot tip I heard about Dollar General. As the show progresses, I slightly regret this. Jake talks about him fighting back against the snakes on his grassy plains, and more car troubles with his Cougar. News - Jake and I discuss Daniel Way leaving the Thunderbolts book to work on another project, and we then talk about the free-to-play Marvel Heroes game, which features the Punisher character. In fan art, you should check out this great fan film trailer, Punisher: Outbreak and Doncyganos's music video tribute to the song Uncommon Valor (A Vietnam Story) by Jedi Mind Tricks using panels from Punisher: BORN. Bullet Points - We cover Thunderbolts # 6 and 7, hailing the new artist Phil Noto and finally understanding Deadpool's role in the story.  We also discuss Fury MAX #10, where Nick Fury goes to Nicaragua and meets fan-favorite character Barracuda!  Flashbacks - We come back to old chestnut of Punisher 2099, covering issues #4-6, where we delve back into the insanity of Jake Gallows's world and Jake himself.  Discharge Papers - I continue on my quest to watch movies I should have watched years ago by reporting on Alien and Aliens, both which hold up really well and also show how far Hollywood has fallen in female action heroes. Jake lauds the Are You Faster than a Redneck show on the SPEED network and the Harvey Milk bio-pic Milk. He also thanks super-fan Neil for the 2000 A.D. comics and gives his opinion on them. Special thanks to Kevin MacLeod from incompetech.com for the epilogue music.
