The new year ain't started 'til we get started.
Introduction - Jake and I catch up on our holiday excursions, and I talk about our business dealings behind the scenes.
News - I bring up the upcoming Punisher comics and Jake gives an update on new interviews.
Mail Call - Bunch 'a mail! Ever wonder why cops don't catch the Punisher nearly as often as they should, or what Frank's favorite tunes are? Well now you will know.
Bullet Points - We cover Thunderbolts #20.1. Sorry.
Flashbacks - We follow up on a fan request to discuss Brubaker's Daredevil #84-87, where Matt Murdock is in prison and getting a mean, so Frank comes in to have a heart-to-heart. 
Discharge Papers - I recommend Jim Steranko's Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD and Jake recommends the 1998 mini-series The Count of Monte Cristo, starring Gérard Depardieu. We wrap things up by heavily disagreeing on Pacific Rim.

 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.

[1:53:52] Flashbacks – Due to fan demand, we check out Terror Inc. #6 and #7, a bittersweet story about an awesome character in a lackluster story.   [2:16:48] Discharge Papers – Jake and I get on the same page with High Rise Invasion and I recommend Bloodshot, because that is where we're at in this contentless hellscape we now call earth.

[ 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.   [2:19:40] Discharge Papers – Jake recommends some anime and I change pace by watching a good movie called Knives Out and encourage you to do the same.
