It really is such a slept-on title. It’s less about super powers than it is about the psychological transformations that happen when a person is disconnected from their body. He gets angry about it, he embraces the novelty of his celebrity, but eventually he’s forced into this more spiritual/philosophical realm because that’s all he’s really got. I rarely feel awe when reading comics, and Chadwick gives me that. The scope of the series unfolds beautifully, gets quieter and more profound as it goes. Hope we get one more series! The last outta retirement shorts were great! Thanks for introducing some new folks to it.

Chadwick said that Dark Horse wants to do a Library edition to co-side with the next mini series.

@francesco5594 Год назад

what!? where?

@jikorijo4516 3 месяца назад

Is there a source for that info? I'd die of happiness if that's true.

@kazual6149 Год назад

There's a dope Concrete statue still standing in the Dark horse offices out here in PDX. It's the 1st thing you see when you walk in. Absolutely gorgeous!

@AnotherSmashHit Год назад

As a kid, Punisher made me wanna make comics. As an adult, it was Concrete. One of the greatest.

@alexbraun3595 Год назад

I have almost all of the single issues except for one that’s from the mid 2000’s. Hoping Kayfabe effect will cause this series to be reprinted into a hardcover omnibus.

God Bless Paul Chadwick That Earth Day issue is an A+

@jeffreybarr2386 Год назад

If Dark Horse puts out an omnibus… I will buy it!

@jazzlehazzle Год назад

Such a brilliant combo of extremely sensitive comic and character moments contrasted with a character who’s unable to feel his physical body. Makes feelings all about emotions instead of sensations. Brilliant.

@jimmoore5279 Год назад

Dark Horse also collected all the Concrete stories in a smaller sized books (1-7) with a new trade dress, the art still leads clearly at the smaller size (though not as nice as those larger collections).

@chaseburns7074 Год назад

I'm so glad you guys made this video, Concrete's my absolute favorite. Like some other people here, I'm really hoping this could stoke some fires of it coming back into the public eye. For how great it is (and how well regarded it once was, though that was before my time. Relatively, I'm a very new reader), it's completely underappreciated. I'm really looking forward to the one Paul's working on right now, the one where Ron gets amnesia. It'll be the first story I'll be able to get as it releases!

I love Liefelds energy, he get ls you pumped lol, and he used the same voice for Todd and Alan Moore 🤣

@tom-66 Год назад

I remember reading Concrete issue ten when the eponymous hero had to visit his dying mother. It had me crying my eyes out. Thanks SO much for finally giving Chadwick the Kayfabe treatment. He’s one of the all-time greats and a favourite of mine.

@XAVIERCUERVO Год назад

Welcome back uncle Warren! please do a couple of hours on KRAZY KAT please guys i know uncle Warren has some George Herriman's Gems he can share Herriman was pure Genius very underrated

@TurnipCasserole Год назад

My idea of a truly 'adult/mature' super hero comic is Concrete. Years ago I thought this might be the direction comic books would take but that hasn't developed. The book remains unique.

@abh623 Год назад

Really great episode on Paul Chadwick's "Concrete." Always a pleasure listening to Warren Bernard's commentaries along with insights from Jim and Ed. Thanks so much guys =). This is wishful thinking, but how about a feature on Rick Geary?

@Therealmrmeow Год назад

Haven't finished the episode yet but had to stop and mention Jim's RedRoom cover! I think we all know what that is and it already looks better than the original! Can't wait!

@Therealmrmeow Год назад

Love when Warren is on. What a wealth of knowledge!

@bigneon_glitter Год назад

Met Paul Chadwick at Comic-Con in 2009. I loved _Concrete_ as a teen & lost my sh*t that he was there in person. Sitting alone at his signing table, it was upsetting to see this genius ignored & underappreciated. Bought a tpb off him & had it signed - could not believe that I had the chance to tell him how much _Concrete_ meant to me. A brilliant, beautiful title & thought-provoking anthology.

@robertdouble559 Год назад

Glad I've already got all of these! The Kayfabe Effect should kick on strong with this one. One my all time favorite titles.

@illdonproductions5503 3 месяца назад

This was the first comic that showed me how well written a comic could be....not saying there weren't good writers and stories out there but Paul Chadwick felt like literature to me. Changed my perception of "comic books"

@toddklein77 Год назад

…but are we fully committed to the whole “it’s not badrock” thing?

@concr3t3 Год назад

Guess where I got my username. Really nice to see Concrete getting some attention, I've been evangelizing it to folks for years!

@hobonickel840 Год назад

he's a golem ... key word Golem ... Golem's have very interesting etymology. The matrix of infomatics makes reality wonderfully amazing

@jonanjello Год назад

It was exciting reading Concrete as DHC released them. I grabbed up each release. Had such high hopes for Chadwick’s The World Below.. I wish it had continued

@EasterlyArt Год назад

5:58 Godzilla, King of the Monsters by Steve Bissette and friends! I grew up with the rerelease in color, but the original that was just inks has a entirely different feel that makes Godzilla far more menacing. Worth checking out both for the side by side comparison. Also worth noting "GODZILLA" by Kazuhisa Iwata. All of this put out by Dark Horse Comics.

@cronopi Год назад

Thanks for bringing back awareness to this classic. Back in the early 00's Concrete, helped me back in track while I was going through a rough time. It's philosophical nature and beatiful art has a lot to do on how soothing for the soul it is.

@nowherebound2908 Год назад

Thank you so much for this review! I discovered Concrete in the 90s when the excesses of the big two were getting to be too much. I was blown away by the unique storytelling style and amazing draftsmanship! When I got back into comics a few years ago I had to buy his first appearance in Dark Horse Presents 1, as well as Concrete 1. I also got into Nexus, thanks for the mention!

@usurper001 Год назад

Thanks so much for covering Concrete, these get even better with time. Prior to JH Williams, Chadwick included his multi media and painting chops!

@seanvolk4202 Год назад

The local library got some concrete back in the day and I was very pleased to discover it. Great work.

@78deathface Год назад

I read this as an actual child in the 80s and I loved it so much. What an amazing character

@jamesgildersleeve Год назад

I love CONCRETE! Beautiful looking book with quality writing. I also really like the cover he did for ACTION COMICS WEEKLY #626. Thanks for what you guys do! I pre-ordered the new STREET ANGEL collection, new RED ROOM, and the HIP HOP FAMILY TREE omnibus the other day. Looking forward to all of them! Be well.

@bartoszfijakowski806 Год назад

Big thanks to the one whose idea was to finally bring Concrete as a topic on the show 🔥

@lostvegetarian5011 Год назад

So happy to see this covered on the channel. I picked up the oversized Complete Concrete many years ago on a whim and instantly fell in love with itI too wonder why it's not as well known as it should be

@michaelhammer881 Год назад

Have some concrete tpbs on my shelf. Have come across concrete here and there and one day decided I needed to find out about this comic. Best idea. Such a great experience reading concrete stories. Big up your sharing some spotlight on concrete!!

@automatwinslaytracks Год назад

Hell yeah love Concrete

@HuyTran-po8je Год назад

Thank you for reviewing Concrete. Paul Chadwick has taken the powers of superheroes in the real world. Thoughtful, human, and a comic which actually helped to shape my world view of humanity.

@ES_Glenn Год назад

I always want to pick up one of the Concrete books.

@erikwirfs-brock2432 Год назад

yeah haven't read all of it, but it's a rare comic where there is a fantastic element and the implications of it are explored seriously, and the emotional reactions of the characters are pretty realistic too. Super smooth attractive art too. Can also see what it has kind of faded out of view over time, very much a product of the 80s/90s direct market.

@montagethemovie5947 Год назад

Wow, just yesterday I was digging out my issues of Concrete (and I hadn’t seen this stream earlier via Patreon) to re read. Great stuff. This was a peaceful video to watch and listen to

@ES_Glenn Год назад

Finally watching the other half of this. So glad to be getting back into the Kayfabe vibes. Keeping it locked!

@dwaynemuth8775 Год назад

Welcome back to Warren! Always insightful!⚡️🎯 Concrete is definitely yet another course change for me and the comics I read! Articulate writer and artist,Paul started out strong in a subtle ways! Confident B&W narrative,short stories immediately won me over and the ongoing series later evolved into a collection of mini series! Paul with Charles Vess ,Moebius and Geoff Darrow collaboration on later covers definitely standout! I hope through the channel that Concrete/other Chadwick work will get some eyes👁👁on it! Very very underrated and recommended reading! 🎯👍❤️Keep reading and making comix!💎

@peterkowalchick8520 Год назад

Always a pleasure to get Uncle Warren on the channel! More please! Can we get a Marshal Law, Stickboy, Planetary, Young Liars or Doom Force episode? Also, you should come to Phoenix Con in early June! We've got a great town for comics!
