I love Corben's art, I'll read pretty much anything he draws, and I didn't know he'd done this, so I tracked Cage Max down and got time to read it yesterday. I enjoyed it well enough, so cheers for the intro!
Garth Ennis is kind of sick. I like Punisher Max but I don't like how he makes Frank out to be some bloodthirsty maniac.
Frank is a hero. Not a madman. Now, he shouldn't be a goodie two shoes, but he is a good man and a hero. Not a sadist.
I like the portayal of Frank as a Geralt of Riva style antihero, who always does the right thing and always protects the weak.
Like a Knight.
It would be nice to hear more review, feedback and perspective than the very ridicule heavy tone of nearly every single other statement.
Thor Viking was interesting, in terms of how far they can go, but on rereading I just decided it's insanely mean spirited and hated it now later on, this shit should never be made cannon. It's vile
”Jaekelsson” : ”Son of a bitch”
The old Hero For Hire comics are funny because every comic would end with Luke being like "keep the money," and then he complains that he's broke later on
Is there a video covering punisher max ? These videos are great !
I tried to read that Thor book last year after watching this episode again and just came away with the conclusion that Garth Ennis must be the most miserable, cynical person that just despises everything and everyone because its all stupid. Plus you really want to tell me Thor, nor any other of the must be 100 super heroes that reside in New York can't take down some dumb zombies come on.
Never been much of a fan of Garth Edgelord
Tiffany's delivery of "Can you farm?" totally reminded me of Mitch Hedberg using that line. 😂
6:33
Wait, did Ben say, "I can farm ass?"
PUT IT ON A DAMN SHIRT!
Comicpop… You need to do a back issues video where Sal discusses KickAss
What is a back issue?
I’ll always love Garth Ennis’ Punisher MAX
Luke Cage would get an R Rated MCU tv show on Netflix. I guess you can say the show was based on his Marvel MAX comic.
Jaekelsson is translated to something like fucker or bastard son. So his name is literally telling you hes a fucker.
not liking Corben art? The guy is a legend! Though, he is much better when he does his own colouring, Luke Cage doesn't look like his best stuff. But so many years of Heavy Metal have made me fall in love with his art.
Was werewolf by night or Shang Chi Max any good?
Should have did Deadpool Max, totally tubular comic dude 🤙
Vikings had female warriors so seeing women fight shouldn't be a big surprise for them. Their society was sexist in other ways but fighting wasn't one of them. The ladies could go out and kill or be killed with the men.
Hats off to Ethan for the Maude reference!
Y'all's next theme should be Wolverine sidekicks. Kitty, Jubilee, and Cannonball.
My Good it was wolverine Even though it wasn’t that good still I don’t think it’s terrible I saw were some comics Bad Is Thor Because I feel like the writer didn’t know what to do in the middle of it so he did that and it just went in a goofy direction and for ugly I really did not like Luke Cage It’s just something about it I did not like Casual most like it idiot In the story Did not work for me cage max
A world where women have more testosterone than bearded men. 🤔
Was Cage Max #1 a "Wrong Box?"
Okay this is obviously me putting way too much thought into this and I'm sure this is something that's caused a lot of head scratching before but, I know Wolverine regenerates, I've seen him regenerate from nothing but an adamantium skeleton, but in a case like this where his legs are gone, I guess not only do his bones regenerate, but apparently so does the adamantium which I guess I'm to assume is now apart of his genetic makeup since it regenerates as well, even though it was a material that was fused to his skeleton.
Was there ever a Daredevil MAX title?
I think the next Good the Bad and the Ugly should be one author over the course of several years.
Dose anyone else want to see how a Spider-Man max story could go down?
5 minutes in, and I'm jsut picturing a bunch of vikings all striking the ground, "is this hjow you farm? are we farming? why isn't anything growing!?"
That line about the female cop shows that Ennis in his usual fashion doesn't know much about things like Vikings
Ethan dressed as 90s Superboy
The second issue of Vikings did not go how y'all were hoping. But Dr. Strange is the last page reveal!
Holy crap I guess I haven’t been paying attention but is that muppet tiff on the shelf back there? 🤣 I love it
The only Max stuff i likes was Alias, Punisher and Howard the Duck. I don’t care much for the MAX imprint. That being said, Thor is the good for me because I’ve literally been writing a story that has elements from that book that I had no idea were there.
I legit wanted to see how all these played out.
I'm definitely with Tiffany, that Wolverine book seems the most interesting to me, then Thor- because ancient cursed "Distilled Vikings" is a fun and also terrible idea. And that Luke Cage book was definitely the ugly
Was kinda wondering about Punisher Max, but it's simply just too darn awesome!
I liked Thor Vikings.
😂😂😂 "C'mon! Make corn!"
I have been waiting for this episode for so long.
Why is it Marvel hardly does anything under the Max imprint anymore? We all know Punisher and Alias were great but there were a lot of under-appreciated titles as well. I strongly recommend Terror Inc to anyone who hasn't read it before. They even did some interesting call-backs to golden-age superheros like Destroyer. Of course, there was some garbage in there too (I really wanted the Max version of Man-Thing to be good).
