It’s hard to watch Cartoonist Kayfabe now with the tragedy of Ed Piskor’s passing. Fortunately I think Millar Time has replaced that void in my TH-cam routine. A sharp focus on comics and process is so consumable in today’s climate.
Mark - you should interview Jenette Kahn!! That would be a blockbuster.
A Scot and an Irish getting along🤯😂 I fucking love seeing Ennis at Baltimore every year.
Love Garth Ennis, Im enjoying his current work a LOT, but man is he ever in denial about what the modern “left” has mutated into.
So refreshing to see two normal blokes just discussing comics like normal people in this day and age
"Did he find his nose" 🤣🤣🤣
You guys want to beleve it all started im 2010 or 16.. but many think in reality that was just when it reached critical mass & became visable. If you dig down deep & start dispassionately questioning all assumptions.. You will hit a wall, and be forced to grapple with the question of: maybe this is just the inevitable end stage conclusion of the post enlightenment liberal frame of thinking.. I'm afraid it is very hard to argue against that conclusion honestly.. at least not that I've found. Everyone eventually hits some issue that's too uncomfortable to evaluate on 1st principles, & retreats. I sympathize. But younger generations with nothing to lose & no nostalgic frame to retreat to.. they will not hesitate.. & the gap between Boomer / Gen X perspective & the new, will only widen.
In Padraig O'Mealoid's collection of Alan Moore interviews, Alan remembers meeting Garth Ennis on the train to Angouleme. The big French comic-con.
Legends, always wondered why Vertigo failed at the end. could have guessed it was the suits and their contracts
great interview
Chapters:
I do agree with Enni s take on social media. The novice expert bit was fab!
Get Fury #1 was great - it's been too long since we got a proper Punisher comic. Yeah I'm shilling for Ennis, but the scam is worth it.
Garth's views on social media was very interesting to hear
Matk, this was as interesting and engaging and interview as ive seen in a long ,long time. As a teenager in the 90s, I doscovered Vertigo at 18 and it was an eye opener. Garth, with Ellis was a massive oart of my 20s and this was a much needed nostalgia boost. Time to dig out my trades of Preacher.
Glad we got closed captions/subtitles 😂😂. Been waiting for this interview to happen! Let’s go!!!
what's strange when i was young i would always mix these two up because their books had lots of edge,
This was an especially fruitful conversation.. The whole section on social media's unintended effects in particular. The only problem.. when it comes to the political question mentioned after, and wanting to leave it all to the political class, & those who "know what they are doing".. I think unfortunately it is likely that class & system has built in flaws that led to our current struggles. Even unconsciously. Which if so, This is the one part of Mr. Ennis' spiel, that amounts to a sort of lazy thinking of convenience .. I made my money.. & went further than most itellectually & artistically.. so lets just stop there.. but as you both said earlier.. The world is now bleaker, opportunities for advncement fewer, & much feels wrong. Part of me just wants more curiosity from guys like G.E. .. but, I understand. Still good listen. Unplug. 🙏
These two. These freakin' two. One loves superheroes, one hates superheroes. Both can have bombastic shocking moments in their stories along with laugh out loud insightful n ironic humor that others wish they could imitate. I'm Marks age demo and have appreciated a lot of the same things about comics growing up, like when the Avengers would be sitting around the kitchen table just hangin.
Fantastic conversation!!!
