Garth Ennis is a writer and creator from Northern Ireland who has been involved in comics such as 2000 AD's Judge Dredd, Vertigo's Hellblazer & Preacher, DC's Hitman, and Marvel's The Punisher. His work is characterized by extreme violence, black humour, profanity, grim morality, and a disdain for conventional superheroics.
" @kneel before doom: Did you read the story before posting the wolverine scan? "
Yes, I did. I've read most of his Punisher work. Yes I know that's his style, but I wish he could get Wolverine right. As a fan of Wolverine, it's really hard to accept that he can act like this
he has no interest in writing superheroes seriously , so whether he has knowledge of them is irrelevent. He writes about them in a satirical context, so whether he gets the character right or not isnt his concern. I like wolverine, and i think when Ennis spoofs superheros its funny and refreshing. Its not that serious, so its better to just take it with a pinch of salt.
I found his take on Wolverine in the story with the midget gangsters to be hilarious. That was some of the funniest satirical comic book dialogue I've ever seen.
pretty much everything that was said, though i will say Ennis can do serious when he really wants to and very well, like his Spider-Man story in Tangled Web and his Hulk mini for example.
this guy doesn't get marvel characters...under no circumstances would frank castle do that to peter. don't get me wrong I get satire im a comedy id totally LOVE a satire marvel book, I hear current deapool is like that, but this guy isn't doing satire this is him showing his bias against superheroes. All his marvel work is in canon and has caused a lot of grief for marvel characters over in the battle forums. forgot, the deadpool comic actually has ALOT of guest stars and while theirs comedy and satire for sure(deadpool dressed as spiderman for a day something like that)but the writers never grossly misinterpret other marvel characters, usually they act as the "sraight man". but the characters are never torn apart, this guy's work reminds me of all star batman and robin which was just stupid.this is poor satire and its used in all the wrong places
