    Garth Ennis's Hitman. Any good?

    I have the whole run to read, and I just finished re-reading Preacher and Punisher MAX so I was thinking of giving this a go, but I was curious what the general consensus was about it, seeing how it's an Ennis run that doesn't seem to be as specifically mature reader focused, like Preacher or The Boys, but more like the MK run of Punisher was (which honestly, I hated with a blistering passion).

    Thoughts?

    My favourite Ennis work. Well written, funny and with a lot of heart.


    And the Superman issue is one of the best single issues ever.

    Thanks. That sounds promising. Think I'll get started on that in a minute then.

    It's pretty great James. Knowing for certain the stuff you like, you can't not like this.

    I have only read the first 2 trades but they were some of the funniest comics I read. Pretty great too man.

    Knowing for certain that you've known me well for nearly a year, that's not something you could ever say and bet on to be right Josh

    But jokes aside, I get your point. Looking forward to it. I just flipped through his first appearance from The Demon and it looks kinda cool.

    Hey! From what you've told me of your love for Ennis and Punisher you really can't hate this book. It reminds me of Welcome Back Frank in how fun it was. Plus the Zombie Zoo arc was pretty awesome.
