category. That and issue 8 of "Ending Battle" are the books I give to people who see Superman as a pointless, Big Blue Boy Scout. "Yes," I tell them, "He is. But he has to be, and here's why. And here's why it rules, too."<BR/><BR/>For the record, I don't see what's so great about "Whatever Happened..." and no one has ever been able to explain it to me. I like "What's So Funny..." better, because it has Superman succeed and has it mean something. "Whatever Happened..." just shows him as a failure and a sham with nothing behind him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1125343741797790242005-08-29T12:29:00.000-07:002005-08-29T12:29:00.000-07:00What kind of self-respecting Hitman apologizes for...What kind of self-respecting Hitman apologizes for using the word "friggin'" I mean seriously.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and BEST BLOG EVER by the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1124791997952021262005-08-23T03:13:00.000-07:002005-08-23T03:13:00.000-07:00For me the invention of the Cat Signal was the bes...For me the invention of the Cat Signal was the best moment in comics.<BR/><BR/>"That better have been dead when you found it."Sleestakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512281434803286602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1124771272120717722005-08-22T21:27:00.000-07:002005-08-22T21:27:00.000-07:00I've read this blog for a while but I needed to co...I've read this blog for a while but I needed to comment on this. Hitman is my favorite book ever. It's the only one where I've collected every issue of the run and I actually will re-read the entire run once a year.<BR/><BR/>I just related to Tommy. No, I don't kill people for money. No I don't have x-ray vision. But he was just a guy who tried to figure out right and wrong, dealt with questions of morality, stuck up for the little guy, and would rather die than do something he felt was wrong. And he had friends that liked to shoot the bull (as well as other people) like my friends do, and who are value loyalty.<BR/><BR/>Garth just "got" this group of characters and it really shows in the entire run.<BR/><BR/>Plus it had zombie penguins.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1124752964048776102005-08-22T16:22:00.000-07:002005-08-22T16:22:00.000-07:00They DID?Thank you, Kelvin!Then no one has any exc...They DID?<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Kelvin!<BR/><BR/>Then no one has any excuse not to read it!!!Brian Croninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06223181857448999287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1124744049871690222005-08-22T13:54:00.000-07:002005-08-22T13:54:00.000-07:00My favorite issues of Hitman still are the aforeme...<I>My favorite issues of Hitman still are the aforementioned Zombie Sea Life issue.<BR/>I can still see the scene where the guy cuts through the heads of a bunch of zombie penguins with a chainsaw!<BR/>I cannot believe that that issue is not available in trade format.</I><BR/>It is, in the <B>Local Heroes</B> collection, which is listed as being in print and available on Amazon.

I guess I'll be on an Ennis streak for the next few days, so I'm glad to be sent off with your exuberant exuberations.<BR/><BR/>And I guess this is another example of the best Superman stories not actually being about Superman. Either we're seeing him through someone else's eyes or it's a Superman analogue. I'm sure this says something very profound about the very idea of the Superman icon, as opposed to, say, Batman (whose best stories are often told in his own voice). What that very profound thing is, I don't know, but I think it's interesting in light of everyone's comments about how non-Americans write the best America. How both Superman and America are best when viewed from the outside looking in. And a corollary, as well: do non-Americans also write the best Superman (Ennis here; Moore in "Whatever Happened..." and "For the Man Who Has Everything"; Morrison in JLA, "DC 1,000,000", and possibly ALL-STAR SUPERMAN)?<BR/><BR/>The things I think up when reading your blog late at night...damn you, Campbell!

It's the old saw--you don't know it's wonderful when you just pass it on the street and don't pay attention anymore, you know? <BR/><BR/>In his first inaugural address in 1801, Thomas Jefferson called the United States “the world’s best hope,” and the only place in the world “where every man, at the call of the law, would fly to the standard of the law, and would meet invasions of the public order as his own personal concern.” <BR/><BR/>Garth Ennis always seems to be able to see that, even if we sometimes forget.

We might look at our country and see our sports, our religion, or our music. People abroad may or may not like these things, but that's not what they see as unique to America (you can find all those things in other countries). What attracts them is the ideals of freedom that underpin our culture.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Even when they dislike specific aspects of our culture or our politics, most foreigners appreciate and understand what it is that makes our country great: the fact that all types of people can live together and enjoy freedom. We're not perfect (and many foreigners will eagerly remind you of that), but we've done better than anyone else. Here in America we can forget how truly unique that is.<BR/><BR/>That's also partly why foreigners are generally harder on us than they are on other countries. Part of it is just we're bigger than every else and everyone likes to take the big guy down a peg, but part of it is that we're the one country that was based on an ideal. There's always a sense of dissillusionment whenever we don't live up to their interpetation of that ideal (which is most of the time).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1124504183922215532005-08-19T19:16:00.000-07:002005-08-19T19:16:00.000-07:00I'm with you on that, Rick Jones.
