He may be most well known for directing the Adult Swim's Metalocalypse, but I knew him from a show he did on Youtube called Collider Heroes. I first discovered his show from Youtube recommending the Collider Channel to me via Jedi Counsel. After I watched Jedi Counsel I wondered what other shows did Collider have. Thats when I found Collider Heroes, a comic book show. I recognized Jon Schnepp from Jedi Counsel so I already knew that I agreed with most of Jon's opinions about Star Wars. So immediately I loved his show talking about comic books. I even read Frank Miller's the Dark Knight, one of the best Comics ever made, based on Jon's recommendation (I know I liked Sin City but I never wanted to try the Dark Knight comic. Its so crazy that I was so wrong about the Dark Knight.).
Jon Schnepp's enthusiasm and his personality are incredibly Awesome! From his uncanny honesty to his strong sense of justice he is the greatest show host. Schnepp is one person that can never be replaced. My only regret is that I am currently not a successful comic book artist so I was never able to meet Jon Schnepp. And I have been so cripplingly "broke" that I could not afford to go see him at a comic book convention. That all changes this year. I'm going to make sure that I am never broke again. I'm going to make sure I become an Illustrator for a living. I'm going to make sure that I live my life the way I want and go meet the people that I want to meet from this day forward!
Jon Schnepp, your life has inspired me. Thank you for everything, rest in peace.
