    Mitch Shelley is an immortal dude who has no memory of his previous life but has battled Vandal Savage since the dawn of Man, using the superpowers he gains every time he dies.

    Dude wrote that 4 years ago and it was made from previously pitched stories

    he has done a lot of awful, awful things since then

    It's kind of similar, except he gains a new superpower after each death.

    Also it is less comedic and more of a supernatural mystery. It does have its brilliant moments of black comedy though.

    Are there demons in there? I don't know!

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    Ennis is fully capable of amazing stories. Even ones that don't involve brutal murdering main characters!

    But the dude has turned into a caricature of his former self

    CYpGAPn.png
  • The Lovely BastardThe Lovely Bastard Registered User regular
    the thing is there is no one telling him he can't do the things he is doing and people are buying it

    it is a lot like ellis

    those two need people to tell them no

    7656367.jpg
  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    Yeah but they like being able to go wild and rarely work at the big two(the only place where they could realistically be told no) unless they are given a lot of leeway

    I mean Ellis' Secret Avengers is apparently ignoring everything that is going on in the Marvel Universe and just him telling stories. Which is fine, if a bit odd.

    And Ennis is pretty much restricted to the MAX Universe nowadays because he cannot write a script that doesn't have the word fuck in it.

    man blank, have you read ennis' war stories? it is spectacular! love the short 3 issue storyline format it does, and the stories have been excellent, if a bit over-the-top violent, but its war, dangit

  • The Lovely BastardThe Lovely Bastard Registered User regular
    I guarantee you Ennis could write a script without the word "fuck" in it

    He just ain't want to

    I am going to call him right now and tell him to do it

    I love Ennis' war books!

    The man can write great stories when they don't involve superheroes. His Punisher/Fury series are amazing and his various war anthologies equally.

    But for some reason he thinks the best thing to do is write series where NotIron Man is a serial rapist who blacks out and rapes his own team mates mid-flight

    Maybe Batman will punch Ben Roethlisberger.

    Really

    in a world where there is a half-man half-robot dude, and Batman himself has recovered from paralysis

    Barbara Gordon getting out of the wheelchair is totally nonsensical?

    Plus, everyone forgets that Simone had already been building up to it in BoP. Barbs had been regaining movement in toes and the such off and on for years.

    Yeah, Cyborg is now a JL Founder, Booster has been a pretty serious(albeit goofy at times) hero since like 2006 and like I said, Babs getting unparalyzed is hardly crazy in the DCU

    True. But I guess I would prefer a more 'comic' reason. Like robot legs. or Magic. or space power. Or magic space powered robot legs.
