Chronicle Concering Books Midnighter: The Complete Wildstorm Series (Midnighter #1-3)
Written by Garth Ennis (PREACHER), Keith Giffen (JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL), Brian K. Vaughan (Y: THE LAST MAN) and others, with art by Chris Sprouse (TOM STRONG), Karl Story (NIGHTWING) and others including Glenn Fabry (THE AUTHORITY: KEV), John Paul Leon (Earth X) and Darick Robertson (TRANSMETROPOLITAN) comes a complete collection of Midnighter tales in MIDNIGHTER: THE COMPLETE WILDSTORM SERIES.The Midnighter is the most dangerous man on the planet--able to plan a fight a million moves ahead, capable of killing ruthlessly, relentlessly and without remorse.
Fed up with his teammates in the Authority (including his husband, Apollo) and their lost mission of saving the world from itself, Midnighter strikes out on his own. Despite possessing superhuman abilities to see every move his opponents will make, Midnighter can't see what's ahead for himself. He's blackmailed into assassinating Hitler before the start of World War II; he's given a chance to find out about his past, before he became a superhuman killing machine; and he's hunted by an assassin with unlimited means.
He's the Midnighter, what soldiers dream of becoming--what children see when they first imagine what death is like.
This collection includes the entire WildStorm series, MIDNIGHTER #1-20 and MIDNIGHTER: ARMAGEDDON #1!

3/5A really good series, though it gets annoying when half of the main character's dialog is explaining that he's gay. Midnighter is a conflicted individual with a dark past and a twisted love of violence. He is essentially irredeemable, yet is willing to cross the lines that better men will not. To reiterate, Midnighter is great, but a few of the issues have terrible dialog since again half the time all he's doing is informing the audience that he's gay despite the fact that everyone knows thatMidnighter is a killing machine generally doing away with "bad" people/aliens/etc.Interesting power with some of the tales quite innovative. Others are meh. MY GRADE: B to B plus.
Hmm. Not sure what to rate this one coz it's a really mixed bag. The first stories by Garth Ennis are too much like The Boys -- it's like Ennis simply replaced Billy Butcher with The Midnighter. His second arc, where The Midnighter and Apollo are samurai in ancient Japan is better.Most of the other stories are pretty disposable. But I really liked Keith Giffen's story arc -- the longest in the book -- which explores whether you can go home again and what happens if you do. It gives The
Killing Machine (#1-5). Garth Ennis' first Midnighter arc is an amazing story where he's blackmailed to go back in time to kill Hitler. What a great premise, and Ennis just goes from there with time cops and the inevitable revenge. This is Ennis at his best, creating amazing high-concept stories. He's not afraid to detail gruesome violence, but this doesn't go overboard into sex and violence like his worst [5/5].Flowers for the Sun (#6). An alternate reality story that is almost poetic, but
My new favorite DC character (sorry Batman). Why DC hasn't promoted this character very much is beyond me. I love this graphic novel; it hit all my nerd spots. It's got aliens, going back in time to kill Hitler, saving little girls kittens, zombies in space, and robot dogs. This is the good shit. It's written by Ennis (Preacher) and Vaughn (Y the last Man, Saga, everything else popular from Vertigo) so it's well structured and really funny (and violent). It's 500 pages so it'll last you a while.
Classic Ennis. Heavy on the gore and Nazi's. As always he's entertaining but not exactly heavy on the deep character based development. I never regret picking up his stuff, he's good at what he does but it's never going to make it to my favorite lists either.I really loved this art though. It was slick and vibrant.
This is amazing! The first gay superhero comic book I read and it was a fabulous experience.
