Again this one was a bit mixed, although understandably as it has the end of Jamie Delano's run together with the start of Garth Ennis'. There's a bit of a thematic link, but ultimately the end of Delano's run is quite confusing, there's a lot of symbolism and it's not too clear what happened (even the title character starts Ennis' run saying his memory of the events isn't clear).
The second half isn't an easy read, the subject matter being terminal cancer, but ultimately i can't help but love a comic where someone glasses the devil and says 'stitch that'
