Is this how he resurrects his Bob Glover/Freddy Allen spinoff project?
This is a post apocalyptic hanna babera universe.

The fuck is Mr. "Everyone sucks except for HARD MEN" gonna do to this? It just seems so outside his wheelhouse.

Welp, put this on things I never expected to read.
Yeah. There's a main Wacky Races book that's pretty much that, it's set in a universe that takes place after the apocalypse that's currently happening in Scooby Doo.

That shit sounds like the dumb shit DC would do in the 90s.
What is this shit?
Oh well Mad Dastardly and Mutley sounds dope
Will it feature their bumbling sidekicks though?

Some thinly veiled parody of Wolverine, I bet.

I'm in. Though I wish Ennis was writing a DC superhero because the piss takes would be hilarious.

Not for nothing. But The new Flintstones comic is fantastic.

Is there going to be a scene where Dastardly blows himself up by accident while screaming "OHHHH FUCK!", and has to rebuild his mess of guts and bones into a robot husk.
Or maybe Penelope Pitstop will mash his dick and balls into a paste with the butt of a shotgun?
Is that what we're getting here?
This looks like a porn parody in comic form.

Gritty? No...

These boys don't know about Dan Dare.

The first issue is really really good.
Some weird darkness I would never have expected out of the Flintstones made this comic one of my recent faves.
We're being facetious, at least I am, but some of his most well known works are pretty damn disturbing and graphic. This is the dude who created Crossed, he isn't ever living that down.

I'll read it and probably be disappointed because it's not Rover Red Charlie.

His first arc on Crossed was actually good though. The man writes great stuff all the time but people be tripping.
The Boys is flaming asscheeks though. Just god-awful.

I can't wait for Warren Ellis' Speed Buggy.

Anyone read A Train Called Love? Wondering if it's worth checking out.
I am still unsure if I liked Crossed or not. I understand what he was trying to do but a lot of it comes off as edgy to the extreme and just being as graphic as possible for the sake of being graphic. It worked sometimes but also fell flat for me in many cases.
I feel bad for the other Racers is all I'm gonna say.

It's not gritty but it has some dark comedy. Fred and his friends are war vets or something and one of them has PTSD.

Dastardly is not a superhero.
He's the Hideo Kojima of comics.
Not sure he hates the medium, just superheroes, which is only like most of the medium. Oddly, I'm pretty sure he has a soft spot for Superman

He hates superheroes, not comics.
Ennis isn't a big hero guy, dude spent his Punisher run just shitting on them. Dasterdly is basically a asshole and who better to write him than a guy who loves antiheroes?
Yet, everything he writes is shock schlock, shitting on the things he hates (not only restricted to superheroes), shitting on his audience and basically the equivalent of an old man rambling about how the world is shit now.
I just don't get why he does the same over and over again, and i definitely don't get why they would hand him a hanna barbera property.
Punisher? i think thats a funny way to spell "his entire career", and who could write him better? Absolutely anybody else whose claim to fame isn't "that guy who does shock and offensive shit for the sake of being offensive".
I mean, we're talking about Dick Dastardly. A children cartoon icon, do y'all really think it's a good idea to give him to the guy who did "crossed" and "the boys"?
It's Dick Dastardly!
I don't think he sucks but his most well known works are things like Preacher and the Boys which are about as graphic and fucked up as they come and this isn't even talking about Crossed. I actually like Ennis and loved Preacher but he does have a reputation that precedes him in a lot of circles.
