Stitched #1–7 Original story by Garth Ennis Script and art by Mike Wolfer Colour by Digikore Studios Published by Avatar Press Stitched is a 17-minute short film from 2011, written and directed by Garth Ennis (view the trailer here). I have to admit I was surprised when I heard that…
War Is Hell #1–5 by Garth Ennis and Howard Chaykin Another Gosh! bargain pack (£5 for the five issues) and a real bargain – this is really good stuff from Ennis and Chaykin. Ennis is well known for his love of old war comics, and has been doing as many…
The Punisher #55–60 by Garth Ennis and Goran Parlov I started reading Garth Ennis' Punisher Max series in the comic books but I stopped after a year when I realised it would read better in trade form, especially as Ennis seemed to be deliberately writing six-issue arcs. I still haven't…
Created by John Woo, written by Garth Ennis and drawn by Jeevan Kang 7 Brothers was one of the first titles to come from Virgin Comics, the attempt by Richard Branson to get into the comic book business. Despite having very silly credits on the inside cover – ‘Chief Visionaries’?…

The Authority: Kev by Garth Ennis & Glenn Fabry I’m not sure why this comic exists. I’m not talking existential angst or getting deeply philosophical. I mean, why would Garth Ennis write a series about a former SAS assassin interacting with the widescreen superheroics of the Authority? I can’t make…
Just A Pilgrim (series 1) by Garth Ennis & Carlos Ezquerra Even if Ennis wasn't a great writer, he demands attention for having written Preacher and Hitman, among many others. So, the chance of seeing him let loose on his own creation seemed like an obvious choice, and it had…
Garth Ennis' War Stories Vol. 1 Johann’s Tiger (with Chris Weston) reminds me of the film Cross of Iron, both being about German officers who have had their fill of the war and are trying to protect their squads. However, this story admits our protagonist’s guilt in the atrocities on…
