@Jokerfaic Dr. Sivana, the Billy Batson villain?

nope, Allfather D'Aronique from Preacher

ah

I meant the dude with the scars tho

the one who falls out of a helicopter onto their inbred messiah

no, the guy with the scar is called Starr or something

Just found this. A deep cut from da past

Garth Ennis was not well in the head

wrote 'the boys' too

Didn't he also write Transmetropolitan?

The only particularly optimistic thing he's written is the run on Dan Dare which he did for Dynamite Comics.

@Doom no, that was Warren Ellis

easy mistake

however both he and Garth worked on John Constantine: Hellblazer

Ahhh... Right.

Am I right about the pessimism?

You are right to be pessemistic

COOMERS DETECTED

No, about Garth Ennis's comics being very pessimistic in tone?

oh fuck yes

I've read his run on Dan Dare, so I'd like a point of reference.

I mean for fucks sake what that man did with his back story characters

John Custer, father of Jesse custer, the preacher

his wasn't a happy ending

in fact that whole plantation community story was a fucking chilling bayou horror story

like Deliverance but unconcerned with movie rating dogma

What has he written besides The Boys and Preacher?

well, The punisher, but who hasn't
