His work with Ann Nocenti and Al Williamson made me take notice of Daredevil. it looked and read like nothing else on the market.

I didn't buy daredevil at the time (could only buy so much) but his covers always stood out to me on the spinner rack. I would flip through the books at the store until i was chased away.

He has the incredible power to devote emotional sensitivity to Spidey and his family. It is unbelievable how he can do this. I am a 48 years-old Brazilian fan. Thank you for all those amazing years, JRJR.

Brasileiro aqui também. Ele é mesmo um grande artista.

JRJR's love and commitment to the medium could power NYC itself. Phenomenal.

You guys talk alot about the artists you grew up with. JRJR is probably the only one I can claim as mine. Snatching up comics at convenience stores in the early and mid 90s, seemed like JRJR was on everything. X-Men, Spider Man, Daredevil, etc. I knew it was only a matter of time. Perfect Sunday morning workout listen.

I grew up snatching issues of his X-Men and DD run from convenience stores in the early and mid 80s 😀

JRJR's DareDevil work with Ann Nocenti is my favourite DD. The JRJR/Miller origin stuff was great too. I liked the skinny ankle Spider-Man it had a Peter Chung, Aeon Flux feel. I'd love to see what JRJR could do with a slightly extended figures Aeon Flux style...

its easy to forget, but the first half century of amercian comics were made by new york tuff guys

Great interview, I get the impression JRJR could have given at least another hour worth of convo if there was more time. Please get him back for another session, maybe even a series of sessions. I'd watch them all

JRJR is one of my favorites and he seems like such a down to earth guy. Great interview fellas! When are we getting the Shooter Shoot? I feel like it’s coming…

I cant believe you were able to bring this comiclegend on the show

I’m in the middle of rereading all his DD run and reading for the first time his Iron Man second run. Such powerful work. Huge, solid figures, adventurous line work, readable and visceral action, great acting in the expressions. Thank you JRJR for so much inspiration.

I am on a JRJR binge recently, so this fits perfectly. Thanks! Can't wait for his new Spider-Man issues.

I remember meeting JRJR in Iowa City when I was in high school. Super nice guy, very funny. I had him sign one of his first Iron Man books that he did breakdowns on and he looked through every page and said “I can’t believe they gave me credit and paid me for this”. He basically said he didn’t have any idea what he was doing at that time. He also did a awesome head sketch of Daredevil with a sharpie in my sketch book insanely fast. Great guy!

What a brilliant artist and a good guy! Saying "Ink Artist" and not just "Inker"...

Damn guys, big pull ! Your channel just gets better and better!

It's good when you can walk away from an interview as an even bigger fan. I love JRJR's work, it's always nice to be reminded he's a good dude too.

Loved to work on his pencil lay-outs in the Marvel Try-Out-Book mid-80s.

Great interview. JRJR's got class, and he's a great storyteller. His Daredevil work with Anne Nocenti is, in my mind, the definitive Daredevil. I remember the bit where DD has a run in with Mehphisto and Blackheart - absolutely phenomenal. He's also my favorite modern Spider-man artist, edged out only by Ditko and John Romita. Fantastic way to spend a Sunday morning, keep 'em coming.

John's work as well as his words are always inspiration! I'm still excited to this day to see new works from him!

Loved JRJR's runs on Uncanny X-Men. #207 was the first X-Men book I had ever read, and it's still one of my favourites. Loved the hallucinatory feel of it, with several dreams happening one after the other. Thanks for this detailed look into his process and evolution as an artist! Yet another great Shoot interview.

ordered all four covers of Hulk Grand Design the other day! Gotta get that Kayfabe effect for the boys.

Holeeeee shit! JRJR! You guys are pulling one coup after another. These interviews are priceless. You're going to have viewers coming back to these for decades.

I absolutely love John Romita Jr., this was an amazing interview, what a remarkable, kind and respectful artist. So glad you were able to post this one :-)

This made my day. Uncanny 310 and 311 were my first x-men comics. I was absolutely sucked in by the world JR JR. created. I had no idea what was going on, but, man, I was captivated. I’ve loved him since. For my money, the two Romitas are the best Spiderman artists ever.

You guys are killing it with these interviews! JRJR's art got me into comics, so this one is going to be hard to top for me. Absolute legend.

These interviews are among the best I’ve ever seen. Salute fellas

Mama JRJR sounds like a real battle axe! Lol Love this conversation! Can't wait for ASM! Thanks for doing this.

This is one of my favorite comic book creator interviews. I've listened to it several times as a podcast and I feel like I learn more each time I hear it. JRJR is all class. Great job, boys! I hope you bring him back periodically to talk shop and hype his upcoming work.

Hilarious! First thing I thought of when I saw JR in this video was “Hunk of the Month”! I remember being like 9 years old taking the bus to school and the high school kids grabbed whatever comic I was reading at the time, they saw JRs picture as the Hunk, and were laughing their asses off as they passed the comic around to each other on the bus. Actually I remember thinking he looked kind of cool, like an Italian John Cougar Mellencamp!

Another great interview, guys! I’ve met JRjr a couple of times over the years and he extremely humble as he is talented! A hard working artist who doesn’t rest on laurels! If you’re lucky enough to write a tale he’s gonna draw ya damn sure co plot with him and then let him loose! Marvel should wise up and never ever let him go again! John has more than proven himself and is the real deal! Nuff said! LOL! Thanks again, guys!

His Thor run with Dan Jurgens and Amazing Spidey run with Strazinski are two of the best runs in the modern era.

Love that he still has that nyc accent and additude this dude is a comic legend

When I was 15 (I am now 50 😆) I met JRJR at the UKCAC in London and he was the kindest and nicest person. He took time to talk and answer our stupid X-Men questions. An absolute legend!!

I am not always a fan of his art, however I am a big fan of the JRJR energy and all his interviews. I am always curious when one of his project is announced. Thanks a lot for the interview!!

great stuff one of the greatest sequential artists JRJR making his father proud UNCLE JOHN BYRNE NEXT!! I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT GUYS PLS

So good! He’s great. Met him once at a con and got that DD Fall of the Mutants tie in issue signed. JR JR is pure comics

And Happy Birthday to John Romita, Sr.!!!

What a great interview guys! And JRJR…what can I say? As a cop (28 yrs now)inspired by the comics of my youth, your 911 issue had me fighting back tears. Ps. I’m loving the ASM run. ASM hasn’t been on the top of my reading list since the mid 80s! I love your work, your storytelling (visually and audialy) and your humor. Again, guys, you really added to this interview. New fan!

John was the first comic artist I ever met (early 80's) and was so friendly. I'm a fan for life.

Saw some of those pages from his Chaykin project - -it's going to blow people's minds!

Thanks for interviewing JRJR - he’s a living legend. Met him at Golden Apple on Melrose in LA years ago and he was such a humble and grateful man. So excited he’s doing ASM again! 💀🔥📚

He mentioned the"hunk of the month"-,was just about to mention it. 🤣🤣

JRJR and Miller's The Man Without Fear was my introduction to Daredevil when I was a kid. A few years later, when I was in 11th grade and working part-time down at the local Board of Ed, I struck up a conversation with one of our two Assistant Superintendents. He told me he was a Kevin Smith fan. I ended up lending him the first issue of Smith's Daredevil run, which had just come out, and my copy of The Man Without Fear's TPB at the time.

I grew up with JrJr as he started his career. My two favorite inkers on him besides his Dad, are Al Williamson, then Scott Hanna and Klaus Janson. Thanks for the great interview guys!

Awesome interview. JRJr is the man. Could listen to this guy talk all day. Love all his work 🤘

JRJR I met when he came to a very small comic con in Vancouver. I talked with him and his wife for about 20 minutes. I had him sign all the ASM I collected when I was a teenage. He has always been my fav along with Todd McFarlane

What a cool, down-to-earth… LEGEND! Love the process talk

Glad to see him back at marvel. They could use a bit more of the old Guard at MARVEL.

At the 50min mark, when he's talking about the anonymous writer that hamstrung him because the scripts were very tight, I don't think there's much doubt that it must be Chris Claremont. He pretty much said that at 9min30sec when he said Chris writes very explicit scripts and I'm sure that didn't leave much room for artistic leeway. It's such a shame that JR never got to return to Uncanny after Starbrand, I absolutely LOVED the CC + JRjr run, it's still my favorite out of all the X-Men periods since this is where the X-Men became more like real people and less like ciphers. Both the writing and the art brought out their humanity (like Storm simply taking Logan's hand in the aftermath of Rachel's disappearance, very small touches that gave nuance to the interpersonal relationships among the team). Even though they're friends now, I doubt they'll ever work together again.

I can still remember seeing jrjr on the bts of Spider-Man 2002 and noticing his name was the same as his father. Totally being blown away that there was a Spider-Man family dynasty. I love romita Sr art, it’s classic but when I think of Spider-Man I think of JRjr’s style

Looooooooooove JR JR'S work. His Spidey is my minds eye Spidey. I just bought THAT Spider-man perched in the rain issue just to frame it. Can't wait to see his return to Amazing

What I like about JRJR is that he is still drawing Spider-Man´s web old school style

Great stuff. Watching this and seeing the excitement in jr jr’s face you can’t help but get a big smile on your face.

Watching JR jr's favorite movies would be a dream!

john romita sr and JR are the best father and son comic artist duo in the industry.

Took a picture with him as he finished a demonstration at SDCC a few years ago and he was friendly and accommodating, he’s professional and appreciates the fans!

One of my all-time favorite artists. Can't wait to see him back on Spider-man.

Nice. I met him in the 80s and he was very cool. still my favourite artist.

JR+JR=Awesome

You guys are just showing off At this point! Great stuff as usual guys!

This is a fantastic interview, guys!!! Thank you for putting this together!

One of your best interviews. Loved it. Hunk of the month!

Great Interview fellas! JRJR is comics hero of mine growing up. Especially his Amazing Spider-man work.

Great guy! Great family! I grew up with JR seniors Spider-Man and Daredevil. I haven’t bought a Spider-Man book for years except for an occasional anniversary issue but I will definitely get JR JR’s run.. 👍

Took me a couple of sit downs with this interview but I just finished it... Thank you for this one. It was great.

OMG I just love that you were able to interview him, and what an amazing and humble man. Thank you for this. :-)

wow this was great thank you guys for doing this

the guys a legend! I love the way how he describes his workflow.

Fuck yes!! Love you guys. Inking some character sheets this morning. Perfect listening

Amazing interview! This one I was really looking forward! Not many comics were sold where I grew up, but one of the very first comic books that I've managed to put my grasp on as a kid was a John Romita Jr. with Strackzynski on Spider-man. Most of my drawing style was developed by coping him, he was the greatest teacher when I was starting in the unknown world of comics.

Love this video. You guys are awesome for getting john romita jr on here. Love the guy and his work

So cool to hear him talk about his dad - JRJR is one of my absolute favorites! Excellent interview!

Another grand slam interview with one of my favorite artists of all time! Great job as always!

Thanks so much for this. His Daredevil was one of my first comics as a kid. I have been a fan ever since. He was the first artist that inspired me to get drawing and he's the gold standard in my mind.

What a legend. Thank you so much for another spectacular interview.

Great interview ! I loved his DAREDEVIL run.

I think it was either Iron Man or the KISS comic where I saw him first and then he just drew and drew everything.

OMG another hitter!!! Thanks guys 👍👍👍

This is my dude. I reviled his drawings when I was a kid. That cable promo was so messed looking but now I’m obsessed and I feel like he can draw action/figures better than anyone.

Whoa what a great interview! JRJR has a great personality and brings a lot to the interview. Good questions as well.

Romita Jr. did my favourite run on Spider-Man with Roger Stern and my second favourite run on Daredevil with Nocenti. He is one of the most versatile and unique comic artists ever.

Man, to get interviews about fave artists of mine from Frank quietly, Brian bolland, Geoff Darrow and now the legend, John romita Jr!? What a delight! I love his Spider-Man run with JMS, many of his marvel work and his new 52 Superman run. Even his Batman stuff is fun! The inkers discussion was cool, but man, I hope next time we get a talk about JrJr’s fave colorists to work with, because they really help to make his art sing even more than it already does. Next, an interview with George Perez, stat!

This was such a joy, thanks!

Great interview! Thank you!

What a lovely man and of course, an incredible talent. It’s no wonder his artwork became better and better with each project, because of his attitude. Forever a student. His run on The Amazing Spider-Man Hobgoblin issues were the definitive for me growing up. A legend.

Excellent interview!

Wow! What a great interview! I could do with another 4 hours of you guys chatting with him.

Thanks for this itw guys! I've been fan of the man since the first issue featuring his work falling in my hands ❤️ I couldn't wait for him returning to Spider-Man 🥳🕸

JRJR is such a pro. Followed him since Star Brand. Made me a Daredevil fan.

EPIC interview. THANK YOU.👍

Quickest 1 hour video ever!!..great interview 👍

Amazing interview, yall are knocking it out of the park! I'll have to check out the new Amazing Spider-Man now

Great artist, great storyteller and a super awesome dude. I’ve had the honor of talking to him a few times super nice person , great interview 👍🏼

I can't wait to see his new Spiderman pages!

When David Choe once said that you two were doing God's work, he meant to just this.

It's interesting hear Claremont was unhappy when he took over X-Men, I would imagine his opinion quickly changed. To me JRJR is the X-Men, his gritty grounded style for me was perfect, I can't say enough about how much I love his art on that run. Those books where everything to me when I was a kid.

Absolutely awesome interview. JrJr is one of the absolute best. Started w his xmen run and collected the entirety of his Daredevil run w Ann nocenti. Just recently my graded issue of Kickass arrived in the mail. 🎉

Still my all time favorite Punisher penciler.

Cannot believe he was kicked off of X-men. I loved that era. My first issue was the one where they came back from the secret wars. I think my single favorite issue to this day is the one with Colossus, Nightcrawler and Wolverine in that barfight with Juggernaught.

Impossible not to love this man.

That was fantastic!
