For our esteemed English gentleman, an small interview with Garth Ennis as well as Jim Lee's variant cover for issue 30.

BTW, I read the first arc and thought it was quite good.

I already gave this title my seal of approval. You should have put it on your must-read list when I made a thread about it way back when.

Also, you can rely on my judgement to be purely objective, unlike others who think Ennis shits gold all the time

Who trusts your Chuck Austen loving arse of an opinion?

Cheers Arn! I'll watch it at some point later.

I can pull my head out of a creator's ass long to read what he's wrote before declaring it "brilliant"

No you can't! And there's even photographic and written/posted evidence of you admiting you go up to writers whose work you've never read an declare you love their work and get a photo with them.

Caught red handed there matey!

Those statement's were made for the benefit of the creator, to put them at ease. Saying "I enjoy your work" more of a formality than anything and makes them more amenable to other requests.

After all, can you imagine if, after getting my photo taken with them, I turn to them and say "Thanks for picture Ron (Garney) but I still think you're art is a piece of shit".

I wouldn't get anything from creators

I still wince when a creator whose work I mainly download shakes my hand and says "Thank you for reading the book!"

I`d feel like a huge tool if I did that.

Has anyone else found the Boys (maybe it is just this arc) to be less enjoyable than the first 12 or 16 issues

I dropped The Boys after about 12 issues. I found it to be more and more of the same, really. And besides, if I drop this, I've got money to spare to catch the Hitman trades.
