The most interesting thing about the Death of Superman run up is that each issue had one less panel per page. Issue 71 had five panels a page. 72 had four panels per page, down to the all splash page issue. Worth a look for the layout variety alone.

Man, revisiting these old wizard eps has become such a good cool-down after a new video. Helps ease the wait til another one! These videos are perennial classics already.

Cool to see Bone showing up. Roughly six months after this a first grade me was going to be denied buying Shadowhawk by my local shop due to it not being age appropriate and recommended Bone instead. Worked out in the LONG run as I ended up having it on my pull list until it finished... a year or two after I finished high school.

When it comes to death of Superman - the splash pages was the culmination of the story - each issue leading up to it had one less panel than the one before if I remember correctly, it was a subtle and interesting way to do a countdown.

Tweeted a photo of a new Wolverine art by Sam Kieth to you guys. Turns out it's a one-shot with stories from Claremont, Hama, and Kieth. Art & covers by Larroca, Kieth, Stegman, and Liefeld. The Wizard #16 cover spoke to 11 year-old me as well. Keep bringing the great content!

I grew up post 90s comics and have always been told how Image were the worst, and that there were no good comics being made by them so I never gave them a chance. Your guys videos are bringing to my atention lots of guys I would have never looked for otherwise, that Savage Dragon issue looks awesome!

Jonathan & CK: And for those among us without iTunes, there are the fabulous stream rippers! These services have come under some criticism from rights holders but for me they are essential. I've converted to mp3s hundreds and hundreds of interviews, lectures and, yes, the occasional Cartoonist Kayfabe episode! Although CK as audio-only is just a time-saving short cut for me. The videos are, so to speak, the real deal :-)
I was a huge Poison Elves fan. It was like a goth-punk Lord of the Rings. Not for sure how well it aged. But I’d definitely suggest reading a couple issues, and see what you think.

This issue is like a bizarre concurrence of things I saw at a used book store this week. Take note, there is basically one used book shop in the entirety of Tokyo that specializes in comics and even then it's usually kind of slim pickings, but I went there the other day to find a stack of those signed and numbered image halfsize comics, a truckload of wizard magazines, a lot of those early image runs packaged together, and to top it off, two graphic novels right next to each other featuring one Jim Rugg and Ed Piskor (American Splendor and American Virgin were the comics).

Hey, Ed, you asked about reading Poison Elves. I loved the series when I was a teen but it probably doesn't hold up very well. Drew Hayes was a very rough and unpolished cartoonist but I really enjoyed the punk vibe and fantasy setting of the book. The series was published digitally recently so you can check Amazon for some previews. You guys also talked about Stephen King's Misery, there was a also an issue of Poison Elves that was similar to Misery. It was I, Lusiphur #3 where an injured Lusiphur is taken in and cared for by an old man in the woods who turns out to be serial killer.

Re: Megaton #3 I got my copy signed by Erik Larsen maybe 10 years ago (bought it in the mid-90's) and he laughed in my face. "Why do you want this signed." Wouldn't have expected anything less from Erik.

Think in a lot of ways what you see as Ezquerra in the Deathblow piece is Moebius-via-Miller in "Ronin" - he was way more into that style and that was way more of a big deal at this point in time. Sin City had only been running in DHP for a few months at this point.

I would be really curious on Ed's opinion on Poison Elves. I've tracked down a few of the trades put out by Sirius Entertainment. It's such a product of it's time, for good or bad (think Adam Ant and Alice Cooper with a splash of Church and State-era Cerebus). IMO, think it's main character bears some similarities to Jack Sparrow.

I kind of love Chichester's Daredevil, but there's something a little "try-hard" about his poetic, beatnik prose style in hindsight. It's like the most oblique and difficult to read Morrison stuff and his scripts are wordy af. But it kind of suits the browbeating that Matt Murdock always dishes out for himself.

I'll have to find the picture of him doing it and send it to you. They did most of them stacks at a time in someone's garage. Malibu copied it on a book I believe was called Protectors but they cut the holes instead of actually shooting the books.
