#Garth Ennis

[artbyblastweave]

Garth Ennis's oeuvre is pretty consistently interested in examining the corrosive effects of toxic masculinity and machismo in a way I think goes pretty underdiscussed. Most likely because discussing it requires drawing the world's attention to the fact that you read enough Garth Ennis to notice such a throughline

say what you want about Wildbow but at least he doesn't have the seething contempt for the genre he's working with like Garth Ennis

I'm obsessed with Frank and Matts's relationship - when it comes down to it, they respect each other and are on the same side.

The Punisher is a slapstick book actually

The one unequivocally good thing about THE BOYS and GEN V — and I know some people here will bristle at this — is that comics creators Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson are getting paid.

Tumblr fans generally hate Ennis because of his laddish crassness, fixation on dumb macho horseshit, and obvious contempt for American superhero comics, which is fair, but also not the point. How many literal billion-dollar Nerd Media franchises have been built on the backs of comics creators who never get so much as free tickets to the premiere, and who then get shorted on royalties when the publisher reprints or repackages their work to capitalize on newfound interest?

If you want to have an ethical stance on labor (and especially if you fancy yourself some kind of progressive or leftist), it needs to include people whose work isn't to your taste or you're not going to get anywhere.

FRANK CASTLE

the way he plans everything down to a T. but anything can change, or anything can happen that could cause max to leave earlier than he's meant to. frank has a perfectly clear shot of him at that point which, despite his careful planning, he is no doubt aware that in the hour window he has it could change. but he won't turn away someone, especially not a little girl, who needs his help. even with how terribly awful max is and how hard - though not impossible - it would be for him to get him on the cruise rather than right there, right now. the way innocents always take prevalence over targets.

even though he's keeping a careful watch on max, he's still attentive to her. making sure she doesnt know he's in any kind of rush - he isnt rushing and disregarding her while trying to find her old man. and he isnt trying to pawn her off onto some stranger to take care of, which as well jst shows how confident he is in his abilities and his planning. he knows people. he knows bad people and how they act. how strict they are when it comes their plans - because they think it saves them. they think frank castle - the punisher - cant get them if they just plan. but he can and he will.

the way he cant help but see lisa in becky. his sweet little blonde lisa, who's life he unknowingly traded to get the war he's always wanted. the war he's been fighting since the picnic in the park. hell, even before that. the flashes of lisa's bloodstained face, the gore that was her intestines spewing from the gaping hole in her stomach. he doesnt have to buy the doll (even tho be doesnt actually buy it) but he does because he's a fucking SOFTIE!!!!
