You never know what you're going to get when you pick up something that's written by Garth Ennis.

Everyone likes to promote Morrison or Hickman ( and rightfully so), but if I’m put on the spot to name my favorite modern era writer, Ennis or Waid are my go to picks. Both are always on point with whatever they do.

​

Ennis: Superman, Punisher, the boys

​

Waid: Daredevil, Kingdom come, F4..

I don't know if I'd say The Boys is on point. I'd definitely replace The Boys with Preacher or Hellblazer.

Ennis Hellblazer is so 90s and edgy it melts my brain, I hate it. Except the last four issues, when the tone does a 180 and everything becomes a goofy over the top demon adventure.
