    His work with Ann Nocenti and Al Williamson made me take notice of Daredevil. it looked and read like nothing else on the market.

      Same, that was a legendary run. 💀🔥

      I didn't buy daredevil at the time (could only buy so much) but his covers always stood out to me on the spinner rack. I would flip through the books at the store until i was chased away.

    You guys talk alot about the artists you grew up with. JRJR is probably the only one I can claim as mine. Snatching up comics at convenience stores in the early and mid 90s, seemed like JRJR was on everything. X-Men, Spider Man, Daredevil, etc. I knew it was only a matter of time. Perfect Sunday morning workout listen.

      I grew up snatching issues of his X-Men and DD run from convenience stores in the early and mid 80s 😀

    JRJR's DareDevil work with Ann Nocenti is my favourite DD. The JRJR/Miller origin stuff was great too. I liked the skinny ankle Spider-Man it had a Peter Chung, Aeon Flux feel. I'd love to see what JRJR could do with a slightly extended figures Aeon Flux style...

    JRJR's love and commitment to the medium could power NYC itself. Phenomenal.

    JRJR is one of my favorites and he seems like such a down to earth guy. Great interview fellas! When are we getting the Shooter Shoot? I feel like it’s coming…

  • @Gootie29
    @Gootie29 2 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    Great interview, I get the impression JRJR could have given at least another hour worth of convo if there was more time. Please get him back for another session, maybe even a series of sessions. I'd watch them all

    He has the incredible power to devote emotional sensitivity to Spidey and his family. It is unbelievable how he can do this. I am a 48 years-old Brazilian fan. Thank you for all those amazing years, JRJR.

    I’m in the middle of rereading all his DD run and reading for the first time his Iron Man second run. Such powerful work. Huge, solid figures, adventurous line work, readable and visceral action, great acting in the expressions. Thank you JRJR for so much inspiration.

    Loved to work on his pencil lay-outs in the Marvel Try-Out-Book mid-80s.

    @seannyhan2254 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Great interview. JRJR's got class, and he's a great storyteller. His Daredevil work with Anne Nocenti is, in my mind, the definitive Daredevil. I remember the bit where DD has a run in with Mehphisto and Blackheart - absolutely phenomenal. He's also my favorite modern Spider-man artist, edged out only by Ditko and John Romita. Fantastic way to spend a Sunday morning, keep 'em coming.

  • @benjenkins819
    @benjenkins819 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Holeeeee shit! JRJR! You guys are pulling one coup after another. These interviews are priceless. You're going to have viewers coming back to these for decades.

  • @PebblesMintstone
    @PebblesMintstone 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Loved JRJR's runs on Uncanny X-Men. #207 was the first X-Men book I had ever read, and it's still one of my favourites. Loved the hallucinatory feel of it, with several dreams happening one after the other.
    Thanks for this detailed look into his process and evolution as an artist! Yet another great Shoot interview.

  • @KC-fi6rk
    @KC-fi6rk 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I remember meeting JRJR in Iowa City when I was in high school. Super nice guy, very funny. I had him sign one of his first Iron Man books that he did breakdowns on and he looked through every page and said “I can’t believe they gave me credit and paid me for this”. He basically said he didn’t have any idea what he was doing at that time. He also did a awesome head sketch of Daredevil with a sharpie in my sketch book insanely fast. Great guy!

  • @PeterPalmiotti

  • @thecyberweasel
    @thecyberweasel 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is one of my favorite comic book creator interviews. I've listened to it several times as a podcast and I feel like I learn more each time I hear it. JRJR is all class. Great job, boys! I hope you bring him back periodically to talk shop and hype his upcoming work.

  • @ComicCulture

  • @newspooiechannel
    @newspooiechannel 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    JRJR and Miller's The Man Without Fear was my introduction to Daredevil when I was a kid. A few years later, when I was in 11th grade and working part-time down at the local Board of Ed, I struck up a conversation with one of our two Assistant Superintendents. He told me he was a Kevin Smith fan. I ended up lending him the first issue of Smith's Daredevil run, which had just come out, and my copy of The Man Without Fear's TPB at the time.

  • @Jim-qv6tt
    @Jim-qv6tt 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What a great interview guys! And JRJR…what can I say? As a cop (28 yrs now)inspired by the comics of my youth, your 911 issue had me fighting back tears.
    Ps. I’m loving the ASM run. ASM hasn’t been on the top of my reading list since the mid 80s! I love your work, your storytelling (visually and audialy) and your humor.
    Again, guys, you really added to this interview. New fan!

  • @kevinbarry6441
    @kevinbarry6441 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    This made my day. Uncanny 310 and 311 were my first x-men comics. I was absolutely sucked in by the world JR JR. created. I had no idea what was going on, but, man, I was captivated. I’ve loved him since. For my money, the two Romitas are the best Spiderman artists ever.

  • @davidpenaloza6588
    @davidpenaloza6588 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Hilarious! First thing I thought of when I saw JR in this video was “Hunk of the Month”! I remember being like 9 years old taking the bus to school and the high school kids grabbed whatever comic I was reading at the time, they saw JRs picture as the Hunk, and were laughing their asses off as they passed the comic around to each other on the bus. Actually I remember thinking he looked kind of cool, like an Italian John Cougar Mellencamp!

  • @dwaynemuth8775
    @dwaynemuth8775 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Another great interview, guys! I’ve met JRjr a couple of times over the years and he extremely humble as he is talented! A hard working artist who doesn’t rest on laurels! If you’re lucky enough to write a tale he’s gonna draw ya damn sure co plot with him and then let him loose! Marvel should wise up and never ever let him go again! John has more than proven himself and is the real deal! Nuff said! LOL! Thanks again, guys!

  • @snarferyasmr3739
    @snarferyasmr3739 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    His Thor run with Dan Jurgens and Amazing Spidey run with Strazinski are two of the best runs in the modern era.

    @ComicbookSam 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    When I was 15 (I am now 50 😆) I met JRJR at the UKCAC in London and he was the kindest and nicest person. He took time to talk and answer our stupid X-Men questions. An absolute legend!!

  • @richardfairlamb9728
    @richardfairlamb9728 ปีที่แล้ว

    What a lovely man and of course, an incredible talent. It’s no wonder his artwork became better and better with each project, because of his attitude. Forever a student. His run on The Amazing Spider-Man Hobgoblin issues were the definitive for me growing up. A legend.

  • @kurdt_patrick
    @kurdt_patrick 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @ianbruno237
    @ianbruno237 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I can still remember seeing jrjr on the bts of Spider-Man 2002 and noticing his name was the same as his father. Totally being blown away that there was a Spider-Man family dynasty. I love romita Sr art, it’s classic but when I think of Spider-Man I think of JRjr’s style

  • @marktrinko8082
    @marktrinko8082 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

  • @tommarvel9442
    @tommarvel9442 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    At the 50min mark, when he's talking about the anonymous writer that hamstrung him because the scripts were very tight, I don't think there's much doubt that it must be Chris Claremont. He pretty much said that at 9min30sec when he said Chris writes very explicit scripts and I'm sure that didn't leave much room for artistic leeway.
    It's such a shame that JR never got to return to Uncanny after Starbrand, I absolutely LOVED the CC + JRjr run, it's still my favorite out of all the X-Men periods since this is where the X-Men became more like real people and less like ciphers. Both the writing and the art brought out their humanity (like Storm simply taking Logan's hand in the aftermath of Rachel's disappearance, very small touches that gave nuance to the interpersonal relationships among the team). Even though they're friends now, I doubt they'll ever work together again.

  • @customedge1
    @customedge1 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    JRJR I met when he came to a very small comic con in Vancouver. I talked with him and his wife for about 20 minutes. I had him sign all the ASM I collected when I was a teenage. He has always been my fav along with Todd McFarlane

  • @frankstrysik1558
    @frankstrysik1558 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @misguidedandundecided3137
    @misguidedandundecided3137 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @maanmori95 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Amazing interview! This one I was really looking forward! Not many comics were sold where I grew up, but one of the very first comic books that I've managed to put my grasp on as a kid was a John Romita Jr. with Strackzynski on Spider-man. Most of my drawing style was developed by coping him, he was the greatest teacher when I was starting in the unknown world of comics.

    For me it's probably some of my favorite fight/action scene in comics. Even if people can argue that his art look stiff, the fight and move are always so dynamic and readable.
    Thanks to him and Kayfabe guys, to remind us the good works

    Man, to get interviews about fave artists of mine from Frank quietly, Brian bolland, Geoff Darrow and now the legend, John romita Jr!? What a delight! I love his Spider-Man run with JMS, many of his marvel work and his new 52 Superman run. Even his Batman stuff is fun! The inkers discussion was cool, but man, I hope next time we get a talk about JrJr’s fave colorists to work with, because they really help to make his art sing even more than it already does. Next, an interview with George Perez, stat!
