 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.

 I'm going to apologize ahead of time for the delay and the anime talk. Just skip to flashbacks if you need to. No one will blame you.   Introduction – Jake and I discuss how we've adapted to the summer 2020 Hellscape and how I started a beef with a west coast rapper.

[1:12:05] Flashbacks – Jake and I talk about the seminal MAX arc The Slavers, a seminal MAX arc covering issues #25-30. I'm really proud of the discussion Jake and I had here.   [1:147:10] Discharge Papers – Jake recommends the book Mistress T and Beastars, and I talk about a play you were probably forced to read in high school.
