Introduction - I talk about a King Kong-themed séance I attended and shows off his handy-man side by discussing a new gaming table he's making from scratch.
News  - The army is creating a new high-tech gun nicknamed "The Punisher!"  Jake and I then play "guess the comics sales" for Thunderbolts and Punisher, and then we go over the specifics of the upcoming Punisher/Black Widow crossover.
Mail Call - We answer your incredibly pessimistic mail!
Bullet Points - We cover Original Sin #1 and Punisher #5. Solid comics, go buy them!
Flashbacks - We cover a smorgasbord of stories in Punisher Annual #3 (vol. 1). There's kung fu fighting, trips to Hell, and libertarian conspiracy theories. Good times.
Discharge Papers - Jake has some tv recommendations for you and I have some old school monster movies you should check out. I was also a guest on episode 3 of Jeremy Fein's Hunnic Outcast podcast where we had a hilarious time discussing the original Godzilla movie and comparing it to the American '98 movie. Friend of the show Wyatt Jones was also there to add to the fun.

 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.

Garth Ennis Power Hour #1

 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.   [25:35] News – We discuss the comics market slowly revving up again.   [31:05] Mail Call– Some mail inspires us to potentially create a new segment.   [38:10] Bullet Points – We continue reading Revenge of the Cosmic Ghost Rider #4 and Ravencroft #3 because Frank is a guest star in it for some reason.   [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.

[ 1:48:15] Flashbacks – We cover Spider-Man #32-34, where Spider-Man has no idea why a villain whose life was casually ruined by him would also be mad at him. Frank also probably bangs a secretary at the Daily Bugle.
