Chronicles Of Wormwood made me an instant Garth Ennis fan and I’ve enjoyed everything of his I’ve read since. Oh, he’s obviously one sick little puppy but his writing’s good and that means so much. There’s so much mediocrity out there! So much bland nonsense masquerading as cool, hip, fresh, whatever. Who cares? Corporations, that’s who. And they’re counting on your dollars!
1899 must have been a crazy year. Protagonist John Dunn was kind of a crazy guy. But totally solid. Yo More...

Streets of Glory is a perfectly serviceable End of the Old West story.

What we have here is a case of Garth Ennis getting cranked on Guiness, reading passages from Lonesone Dove, watching the end of Unforgiven and Deadwood season 3 and then shitting out a half-assed comic book script, which Avatar then handed over to one of their 'house' artists who all draw exactly the same. All that said, there ARE some good parts, but Christ is it coming more and more clear that Garth shot his wad on Preacher and Hitman. How do you take the concept of a grizzled Civil War vet cl

Pretty damn good end-of-old-west-western Ennis put together. Bloody and tragic. Nice one.
But the art again is the weak point. So stiff.
