He's literally my second-favorite writer next to Alan Moore. The entire Preacher and Battlefields series along with both of his Punisher runs are pure graphic novel gold.
By "beautiful" I assume you mean tasteless and grotesque? And yes I read it when it was first coming out with a mixture of fascination peppered with disgust. It's entertaining, but often engages in shock value for its own sake and after awhile that became Ennis's calling card to the point of being cliche.
@GodLovesComics Your opinion. You are entitled to it. However, many don't share that opinion. Myself included. Preacher was and is one of my favorite comic series of all time.
Garth seems like the kind of dude that can go on about the same topic forever if you let him. This guy is decent at keeping him on track without interrupting him too much. I give him a B+.
I didn't know he'd passed on. Dillon was one the best true storytellers in the business. He could convey so much through the expressions of his characters that thought balloons were redundant. As good as Kirby in many ways, and a more polished pure artist. Rip Mr Dillon.
My favorite Ennis Punisher story was a single issue I think Punisher #6 on the main series that started after the 12 issue Welcome Back Frank story. The issue was called "Do Not Fall in New York City" and it was epic.
I really enjoyed hearing about his relationships with John McCrea, Steve Dillon, and Russ Braun. Mike this was great. Please interview him every NYCC, the guy (smartly) doesn't waste time on social media but it's still awesome to hear from him and you're a great interviewer.
Preacher is perfect. Writing, art and cover art. I bought a lot of comics back in the 90's, mainly for the art. But Preacher was the one I bought month after month because I was so excited to see what happened next! I still re-read it!
I'm not so sure about that, but Garth was really excited to spend some quality time talking about Frank Castle. He feels very strongly that his MK Punisher expanded his fanbase, and is (justly) proud of the book
I actually just finished it last night and the final arc emotionally devastated me. Although it really does make sense plot wise why it would happen. It was a fantastic story though, it might be in my top 10 of all time.
I love Garth. But there’s sometimes that I wonder why he’s writing comics at all. He doesn’t seem to really care as much for the medium...or he does in his own strange Garth Ennis way.
yeah. Like he said in the interview, you'd have to really appreciate them as a kid before you could appreciate them as an adult. And honestly, Ennis presents the valid argument that there should be more variety in comics, not just superheroes
@@jaredgarcia8638 To be fair to him, he's not entirely wrong. Though luckily we've managed to become a world where comics in America aren't just superheroes anymore. They are still popular and I doubt that'll change but you can also read science fiction, fantasy, crime, etc.
@@someokiedude9549 well that's true. Hopefully DC and Marvel could pick up the trend that comics don't need to be just superheroes. If that happens, we could see a new golden age
His worldview is really peculiar if he believes that Christianity with all its faults has been largely negative to the western world if he still resides in western world just find it funny I mean it’s not like he’s itching to move to somewhere in the Middle East or Eastern Asia
