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
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 😔
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hitman is my favorite Garth Ennis project. I'm so happy Ed was around for this episode
Jim please keep it going ❤
That’s what Ed would want…..
The Ed/Jim comic book analysis duo will be unmatched for years to come.

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?

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….
Thank you.
By far the best Comics channel on TH-cam

R.I.P Ed i have a Hip Hop Family Tree in my collection that i love.

Just in time to hype of the omnibus this year. RIP Ed❤
Love this run! Hope you are well Jim.

Hit mans one of my most favorite comics of all time. It’s what made me fall in love with Ennis’s work.
This was a pleasure to watch! Great video for a series I cannot wait to (finally) get into!
Keep on keeping on. So proud of you.
love you Ed !!
Love this channel so much. So sad that new videos will come to an end soon. RIP Ed.😢
One of the most underrated things Ennis did!

I'm going to keep doing what Ed would've wanted us to do, read more comics.
Thanks. Never got into Hitman. I want to check it out now.
Justice for Ed Piskor.
It starts off with a bang! No pun intended... ominous words Edd.
R.I.P
Was hopeful this would feature on the channel one day. Thanks
ENNIS is the quintessential Hitman scribe
Such an incredible comic.
A great and underrated series
I'm going to miss this series
I’ve been hoping for this one
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.
At the time Hitman was my absolute favorite monthly
There's a good best of book you can grab, it has 3 or 4 of the great storylines.
One of my favorite books of all time. Love the fact that DC is giving us an omnibus!!
Heart broken.
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.

I hope you and Tom do something together moving forward. This channel is legendary. Hope you're ok Jim.
Love to you, Jim. Hope you’re healing
And immediately I want a hamburger.
🔥💙🔥
It's funny how DC has money on the table yet turns it's back on it.
❤
Best DC comic of all time
