I don't have the Superman 80-page thing, what's that about? Anyway Kyle Rayner fans are going to want to skip this trade, tell you that right now.

Heh. Heh. Bueno.


The 80 Page Giant has a story where Sixpack meets Superman. Kind of amusing, but nowhere near as memorable as Tommy's meeting with Supes on the roof, one of my favorite stories of all time.

(I actually picked up that 80 Page Giant back in the day for that story. All in all, the book was a waste of time.)

Six-Pack passes out and hallucinates going on patrol with Superman. He then proceeds to give a vino-fueled shitkicking to Supes' various rogues-- such as kicking Doomsday in the nuts in retaliation for you-know-what ("I'll teach ya ta go onna rampagea' all consumin' fury!")-- while Supes plays the somewhat eye-rolling, 'oh dear' muttering straight man to all this. Nelson DeCastro on art; and may have been the first thing of Ennis's I ever read, come to think of it.

EDIT: A Coke to Stranger.

I'm thinking of what my first Ennis work was and I'm very late to the game with the Punisher Welcome Back Frank trade. I've spent years catching up on his back catalog. For years Hitman eluded me because a whole collection was always very expensive on ebay, at least a few years ago, but I got lucky one night when a person didn't realize what they had and I was able to pick up every apperance by Tommy expect for the Superman Giant for 60 bucks in the buy it now section which was a quarter of the going rate at the time.

I discovered Ennis very late, but he has quickly turned into one of my favorite writers.
