We are going back, back, back to Crystal Lake and into outer space to ask the question what if the original Jason from Friday the 13th faced off against Uber-Jason from Jason X? We talk the origins of Jason X on screen (New Line, Freddy vs. Jason, Jason Goes to Hell, Kane Hodder) and the transition of Uber-Jason to comics via Avatar with Brian Polito, Sebastian Fiumara and Mike Wolfer including scantily clad scientists, topless astronauts, and lots of blood. Plus, we come up with what characters we want to see face off against other versions of themselves.
Ep. 119 What if the original Jason from Friday the 13th faced off against Uber-Jason from Jason X?
From the Avatar Comics "Jason Vs. Jason X #1" (2005 comic book)

Following up on last week's Jason vs. Leatherface episode, we return to the world of Jason Voorhees courtesy his trip to outer space in Jason X on film and in comics. We go through the very long road to Jason X on screen (and the weird way John Carpenter might have played a role), debate if screenwriter Todd Farmer wrote this as a Friday the 13th film, and talk the lack of deaths on screen. We then switch to comics to talk Brian Polito and Mike Wolfer's versions of Uber-Jason on the page and wrap up by debating what characters we want to face other versions of themselves in horror and comics. Grab your machete, your headphones and join us!
Reading List:
- Jason X (film from 2002)
- Jason X Special #1 (comic book from Avatar Comics 2005)
- Friday the 13th: Jason vs. Jason X #1-2 (comic book from Avatar Comics 2005)
