Jables Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I already knew that was gonna be a pirating thing. You disgust me, although that may change when Damo(meltd0wn) comes over and gives me the dummy's tour of torrenting or whatever that is.

Lycaon Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Finally, another issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Who's caught up on this? I know the next three were in the can before the axe came down, but #7 & 8 felt like they really lost the energy & feel of the first six. Hell, if Wildstorm had published #7 it woulda been a declaration of war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 really? i know its slower right now but i figure theyre setting shit up, i mean they just got to the batcave of sorts...im likely baised here because of the creative team, but this book's still at the top of my pile, so to speak.

Silent Bob Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Finally picked up the trade for this one (with introduction by Simon Pegg, no less - class). I have a new favorite book. If they ever make a movie (riiiiight) Ray Stevenson needs to play the Butcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 wow...good call, on both of those. i think im gonna search ebay for one of the Ennis-signed trades of this one, i gotta get his sig on something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Yeah if this artist thing doesn't work out for me, I swear I'd make a helluva casting director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_U_SPACECOWBOY Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Who's caught up on this? I know the next three were in the can before the axe came down, but #7 & 8 felt like they really lost the energy & feel of the first six. Hell, if Wildstorm had published #7 it woulda been a declaration of war. Â Remember, Ennis has said on multiple occasions that this is planned to be a 60+ issue series. So #7 was a little slow. A long series has to have down periods so you can catch your breath. I'm sure #8 (can't wait to get my hands on it tommorrow!) will ramp up the insanity again.

Silent Bob Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Preacher had single issues that could be considered slow too (like...pretty much any of them from All Hell's A-Comin'). It's all about the build-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 You shitting me? Without spoiling, All Hell's a Coming while indeed being decompression, was still an incredibly collection of issues that really fucked with our perceptions of characters we loved or hated. The Boys #7 & 8 thus far have just been awful cheap set-ups and punchlines not unlike The Pro. I expect better to be coming, but after the news that Wildstorm dropped it and the subsequent limbo, coming back to find this just left me wondering why I was ever interested.

The NZA Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 folks, thsi guy sells video game systems if they dont please him for a few weeks or so. For those unfamiliar with Skeet's attention span, just nod, give it a few months to get rolling and he'll be back, questioning why any of youse fucks were ever doubting.

DevilsAdvoc8 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Well IC that explains his "reign" in FC...oops did I say that here? Actually came in to rave bout the book. I really think it's hilarious, could use a lil more character development thus far but the way it is keeps it light-hearted, it's a feel good book, unlike Punisher.

The NZA Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 no shit? me & 2Track been going on about that one, kinda figured it was either dead or delayed for a long while to come...well, i read Ennis is (sadly) offa Punisher soon, so mebbe he's open up for this again, finally? what little ive heard of it, i was dying to see how it went down.

Jables Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 So the third big arc 'Glorious five year plan' just wrapped up and I'm really not sure why this is one of the exclusive 3 books I buy(other two being Y and/or 100 bullets as they come & Ultimates). I'm pretty sure they're sticking to monthly but each issue seems disjointed and it honestly feels like I've stepped in mid-arc. Ennis has already run out of the crude superhero jokes that made the first arc & The Pro before it a fanboy hit, and i don't think anyone pretended for a second this series was gonna compare to Preacher, punisher or to a lesser scale Hitman but the characterisation gone out the window too, so what the fuck is left? Â Next arc seems to focus on Starlight(one of my favourites) so I'll see if it picks up steam with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I totally agree with Skeet. And I wasn't feeling this new artist. In the last two issues Robertson would do like 2 pages and they'd bring in some other guy. It just wasn't feeling his art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 i still gotta see how it ended, but i can see your point. thing is, Hitman didnt really take off for me until a bit later into the series, so im holdin on. But yeah, im unsure how many different superhero parody angles are left to play sometimes, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I mean, it's still a keeper, but I just hope that something other than what's been going on starts taking place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I totally agree with Skeet. And I wasn't feeling this new artist. In the last two issues Robertson would do like 2 pages and they'd bring in some other guy. It just wasn't feeling his art. Â Yeah, Snelberg(there's a J in there somewhere) is very hit & miss for me, but I'll never forget his rendering of the inbred lamb of god in Preacher(the Starr one-shot). I didn't even notice on #14, but felt it sting in 15. If the next arc wasn't back to Starlight I'd probably just drop off right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 so, we're 37 issues in, and while im still enjoying it, its hard to argue with baytor that it feels like im waiting for the big story here. Its hinted at - the biggest moment so far was prolly Butcher's confrontation with the superman guy - but the pacing could use some help sometimes. this one might work better down the road in trades. Â Meanwhile, looks like we're not the only forum to have Ennis' artists grace a panel with our name: Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpunkyMonkey Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 LOL... so, without me having to reread the 7 pages worth of stuff here, someone summarize to me why the knoll and hondo's are in comic book form???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 ah, well Hondo's Bar was a name taken from a classic John Wayne flick, and Ennis used it as a meeting point towards the end of Preacher. The Knoll's been a bar name in other stuff ive seen, i just caught it for the first time in this month's The Boys and thought baytor'd get a kick out it...its not as big as it having been on it in Hitman (for him) but itll do.
