Ways to make [Garth Ennis] relevant again? in Comics (September 2011)
Reviews
This was insane as usual. Gorey, irreverent, sacrilegious, perverted, and sometimes touching. Jessie Custer is a "simple man" and for me that makes him hard to relate to. He's a badass and an asshole, but a great friend if you can get on the "short list".
This collection was just as outrageous as the two before it, but there were 3 issues that were different. They flashed back for Jessie and then for Cassidy, and somehow they fit perfectly with the deviant sex and extreme torture of the show more other issues, showing that Ennis is more than a "shock" writer.
I'm really hoping the series stays this good. show less

The book opens with a group of hipsters sitting around in a New York apartment explaining to each other how nuclear war will never happen. London is wiped from the map later that night.
I found this book almost painful to read not because of the depictions of life after, but because the book follows the same group of unbearable hipsters as they're still in complete denial as the world is literally ending around them.
The only positive things I have to say about this are about the art and show more lettering. Becky Cloonan's illustrations, Tamra Bonvillain's colors, and Pat Brosseau's letters are stellar and worthy of a far better book.

This is a great place to start for those like me who haven't read any of the Punisher comics. It begins with the series "Born" that takes place in Vietnam during the war when Frank Castle was on his third tour of duty and was stationed at the Firebase Valley Forge near the Cambodian border. Captain Castle has noticed that the NVA have been stockpiling weapons and are getting ready for an offensive which means they will come after them, but his commanding officer does not seem too concerned show more with this and wants to do nothing about it. He's more worried about the General that is coming to inspect the base and he wants Castle to give the tour.
When the General says that the war is coming to a close and the base is going to be closed leaving the Cambodian border open to the NVA, Castle snaps and can't take this and arranges for an "accident" to happen to the General and thus begins his path to the darkness within him. At one point the darkness asks him if he wants it and when he says "yes", the darkness does not let him know that it will arrange things in his life so that the darkness will have a permanent home.
In "In the Beginning" which takes place not long after he gets home his wife and two kids are gunned down in the park by the mafia. When the comic picks up he has already killed everyone associated with it except the head of the family. He's at a party being held for the patriarch who is turning 100 and he walks in and kills him then mows down a bunch of the family members. He runs into an old acquaintance named Micro who kidnaps him in order to talk to him. Micro wants him to work for a member of the CIA under the table killing bad guys all over the world. Of course, they both have a problem to sort out: the mafia is still trying to kill Castle, which leaves the CIA in a war with them. The ultimate question is will Castle agree to do work for the CIA?
In "Kitchen Irish" it takes place in Hell's Kitchen New York City. Castle happened to be in a diner when it exploded killing innocent civilians. Now he's on the hunt to find out who is responsible. He runs into Andy Lorimer whom he knew from his Vietnam days who works with MI6 now and has the information he's looking for. Finn Cooley who is with the Continuity IRA was the one who blew up the restaurant. But why? And what does it have to do with the players Tommy Toner, head of the Westies, whose restaurant it was, Maginty, a black Irishman who has kidnapped Tommy and is returning him in pieces to his family, and Polly and Eamus who run the River Rats, a group of thieves who steal from people on boats?
This is a really kick-ass book that grabs your attention from the beginning and never lets go. The Punisher is a complicated person that you have trouble calling a superhero. He probably wouldn't want to be called one, that's for sure. The art is amazing and the part about Vietnam is so realistic, which it should be as the artist based it on actual photos from someone's father's personal album from Vietnam during the war. The book is an incredible read. I can't recommend it enough. show less

Husband: "You should read Preacher, I think you'd really like it."
Me: "Oh yeah? What's it about?"
Husband: "...well, it's, uh, hmmm...it's a western?"
Me: "You can't blurb it for me?"
Husband: "Not really, no. Just read it."
A few hours later...
Me: "So lemme get this straight. We have Jesse Custer, the Preacher, who's been possessed by some sort of nigh-omnipotent heavenly power and has the spirit of John Wayne as his guardian angel, Cassidy, who's basically Shane McGowan the vampire, and Tulip, show more the mob-connected hit woman and Jesse's ex-girlfriend all off on a mission to literally find God?"
Husband: "Yup."
Me: "That's just insane."
Husband: "Maybe."
Me: "Be a dear and grab me volume two, if you would be so kind..." show less
