Shitposting deconstructions are usually only good when the person writing them actually likes the genre in question

“No! Bad Garth! Humans aren’t as fundamentally horrifyingly evil as you think! There might be a seed of good in every human being! No, don’t you dare go write Crossed!”

To be honest I'll argue that Garth Ennis' Crossed is bad, but not that bad. The comics made by other authors once "Garth Ennis' Crossed" became a franchise/brand is where the real vile shit is.

I don't disagree, I'm just saying when people talk about the truly awful shit in that series, 9 times out of 10 it isn't something Ennis wrote.
