It's wild how many comic writers just plain wouldn't have a job if not for writing to an audience of a few thousand nihilistic Gen Xers and early millennials

Filtered cause he wrote a comic about your favorite superhero getting comically raped by a fat Mexican. Many such cases.

Its crazy to me becasue id go as far to say that Bueno Excellente was a form of critique on rape in cape comics.

>Wait wha-

Stay with me for a minute. A lot of comics in the 90s were inserting rape randomly in a bid to look "serious" and it comes off as poor in taste or retarded. Beunos existence is absurd his super power is he can teleport behind anyone and rape them? Why does this need to exist in a cape comic? Because thats the point why does rape need to exist in a comic to begin with its absurd to insert something like that to be taken seriously. You also see Ennis use this in The Boys when Starlight first starts out a vought exec tells her she needs to background has sexual assault to look "serious"

but then Ennis himself inserts rape randomly so I just wrote that for nothing

Ironic he says he hates Captain America. But whenever Captain America shows up in a Punisher comic he writes him with nothing but respect.

I read Gravity’s Rainbow for the first time this year and there’s a passage where a guy tries to escape down a toilet while a roving gang of black guys speaking in ebonics try to tear his pants off and buttfuck him and I thought “Wow I can see where Ennis gets his inspiration from”

Garth doesn't hate superheroes so much as he hates what they've done to comics.
When he was growing up, comics was a much more diverse place. You had fantasy comics, War stories, horror comics, spy fiction, a lot of variety of genre. He doesn't hate Superheroes as a concept. He hates that they're pretty much the only genre of comic that has any mainstream success, and the only thing keeping the medium alive.

This one is always funny since he was also created by WW2 vets.

Captain America is propaganda.
>B-But he disagrees with the government!
No, he's propaganda in that it pushes the idea that there is such a thing as a good American.

Jack Kirby had PTSD from killing people man.
It's guys like Stan Lee who were working mailroom and coming up with slogans.

"drawing maps" meant actually physically being in the field and scouting.
He was there 10 days after D-day. He contracted trench foot from being in the field in the snow and nearly lost his legs.
