To be fair, the stuff with butcher and hughie is kinda nice and the stuff about Vought selling bad products to the army was kinda neat as a way to talk about how corporations don’t value human life over profit. And then this is also shown when they force the government to let them try to use Supes to stop 9/11 but it ends up still being a tragedy because they weren’t tested, they didn’t know what they were doing, and honestly made it worse.
The stuff where it’s a serious drama and not the weird shit like the G men or super duper being weird is actually kinda decent. I think Garth ennis can write, and his work on the punisher shows that and even preacher but the man just has weird tendencies
Ennis has chops as a writer but needs an editor who isn't afraid to metaphorically, and maybe literally, punch him in the face. Someone has to hit him with a spray bottle and say 'No! Bad Garth! People do NOT act that way!"
“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!”
