Ennis' best work, that's right you heard me you Preacher whores. Don't get me wrong, Preacher was excellent, an incredibly awesome comic and I smile a little bit every time I think of it, but Preacher's message and meaning was right out in the open, what I really found good about Hitman was that it looked shallow but was surprisingly deep. That was why John McCrea's artwork is perfect for this because it looks cartoony yet realistic, Hitman poked fun at every stupid fucking trend DC threw out: Green Lantern Kyle Rayner, #1,000,000, Parallax, and let's not forget Lobo. But it had a cast of characters that could indeed rival Preacher's. Tommy was a class guy he was no Jesse Custer but he was definately one of the finest characters DC has ever had, one could not ask for a more loyal sidekick than Natt the Hat, Deborah Tiegal was not anywhere near Tulip O'Hare status but she was an incredibly hot and well thought out heroine tough and still weak in her own right, the cameos were all well done and with the exception of Green Lantern and Lobo, taken seriously. I once read a review on the internet that said Hitman was to Preacher what Tolkien's Hobbit was to Lord of the Rings, anyone who feels that way isn't looking deep enough into this comic to see what lies beneath, Garth knew what he was doing when he made this and I stand by my claim that this is his best series of all.
This would translate to film in theory but it would hard to put in the balls-to-the-wall action and campy humor. Cause if there ain't no Baytor and Section 8 then it's just not Hitman.
