I can’t believe how sweet this was considering… everything about it.

I forgot to take “Rebecca” on my commute this morning (the downsides of reading a physical edition, I suppose), so I thought I’d read something that would not take me out of my reading rhythms – I’m bad at reading several things at the same time. Good thing I have a big ass comic backlog that’s not always entirely serious or requires a lot of investment. Hello there, All-Star Section Eight!
As an unabashed Ennis (and especially Hitman) fangirl I had mixed feelings going in: I love the crew at Noonan’s, but Sixpack was always my least fave. How was he going to get a whole mini out of it?
Ehhh sorta.
The best bits were definitely Ennis as usual taking the piss out of DC/comics continuity and trends in general (“Vertigo dark and mature? Half these motherfuckers wear capes!”).
I like the idea that editorial doesn’t give enough of a fig about Sixpack that they let Ennis do a non-Elseworlds story that suggests that the whole DC universe is possibly a Creation Dream of the god entity Sidney Speck, so he has to remain soused for all time for the DCU to survive.
The actual jokes are hit-and-miss (don’t let Ennis write full-on comedy) but holy fuck did I just about piss myself laughing with the resolution of DA GRAPPLAH storyline.
An inessential addition to the Hitman canon, but if you like farts and puke and you forgot your real book I guess?

Okay Garth Ennis, I see what you tried to do. I'm going to do us both a favour and pretend that this never happened, ok? Done.

Czuję, że nie powinnam rate'ować tego komiksu, bo zaczynając go czytać doskonale wiedziałam, że czytam go tylko dla Supermana, który pojawił się na samym końcu. Dlatego moja ocena to w części niechęć do komiksu, a w części fakt, że Superman był napisany w miarę spoko. Razem wyszło na "ech".

hopefully after Ennis graduates from middle school he'll move on to something a little more worthwhile

Slightly tarnishes the memory of the mighty Sixpack and tramples all over the legacy of Bueno Excellente, the world’s perviest superhero. The first Dogwelder must be turning in his grave while Baylor gets to expand his vocabulary. It also features some other guy who does something with a grappling hook. I forget his name.
Ennis seems to have more disgusting fun writing comics than anyone else.

I only read this because 1) I had just finished the masterpiece that is Ennis and McCrea's Hitman, 2) I was mildly curious how a book written a decade and a half later would work, and 3) I already owned it. Under only that unique combination of circumstances can I recommend this book. That said, it wasn't the *worst* way to spend two hours.
