    Yeah, the author, Garth Ennis, seems to be pretty polarizing in comic book fandom based on what I read on Reddit over the years. I haven’t actually read any of his work but from what I gather, being edgy the sake of being edgy is his thing.

    Another series based on one of his books that people say is better than the source material is Preacher.

      Preacher series does not come close to the quality of the source material. The comics are far better than the series, in my opinion.

        Yeah, what I was saying is definitely not a universal opinion. It’s just that Ennis’ work seems to be more for some than others. What I’ve seen people say is that they prefer it toned down a little bit, as adaptations tend to do. Wouldn’t mind taking a look at the comic and seeing for myself though.
