Exactly, I'm not a huge fan of The Boys (I think it's a bit too in your face expys, although there are still brilliant character moments throughout) but it's still entertaining.
Whereas his best (Hitman, Hellblazer, Preacher, War Stories) are up there with the best comic stories ever.

Yeah man, he really describes Superman better than half the current writers.
Batman is another one he always wrote with a bit more restraint.Although he really seemed to dislike Kyle xD
Well, he only had Tommy puke on his shoes.
He basically said that Green Lantern is a stupid name and his power is stupid beyond belief. But yeah, Kyle was privileged to know Bueno.

Originally posted by AlmightyKfishYou can't mention Ennis without mentioning Punisher MAX. Now that is an absolutely superb series.

True, besides all his Vertigo and Indie stuff he basically defined Punisher for a decade.
The only thing close was Rucka's recent run (which I think is just as good, but different).
But yeah, the intestines scene from the slavers arc is probably now the most iconic Punisher scene ever. In fact that's a great/horrifying ownage scan, if anyone has it?

Yeah, Ennis hates Superheroes with a passion but really loves Superman. That "what an unbelievably cool guy" was what he describes Superman to his fellow writers. He really hates Lobo and Green Lantern though.
Didn't know he liked Superman
just thought he hated Superheroes in general.

Where do the scans show them away from the cloud?In this case only you require an excuse. I can just point at the comic instead. The scans clearly show them standing basically at ground zero with the Mindless one already pulling the trigger, we even see the first "spark" of the explosion as they rush towards him, the very next pannel shows the huge mushroom cloud that is seen from miles away. So unless they magically teleported away and then teleported back there's no other way to look at it. Clothes do things like that all the time in comics, doesn't change what's clearly shown on-panel.
In the scan itself they are not inside the cloud of smoke. Cap and the car look closer to it after they arrived. Mabye the shock wave sent them flying. The end.

Mindless One shot himself in the head, that's it. I) DBZ energy blasts far more powerful than Freeza's Death Ball or II) Molecule Man's galaxy-busting blast were focused and affecting only a single target, too...
Originally posted by Daredevil1Where are you getting this from? The blast caused the explosion and they were standing within the blasting radius. More so they were standing at the center of it.
By a blast that went the opposite direction of them.
