Ennis began his comic-writing career in 1989 with the series Troubled Souls. Appearing in the short-lived but critically-acclaimed British anthology Crisis and illustrated by McCrea, it told the story of a young, apolitical Protestant man caught up by fate in the violence of the Irish 'Troubles'.

Ennis shortly after began to write for Crisis' parent publication, 2000 AD. He quickly graduated on to the title's flagship character, Judge Dredd, taking over from original creator John Wagner for a period of several years.Ennis' first work on an American comic came in 1991 when he took over DC Comics's horror title Hellblazer, which he wrote until 1994, and for which he currently holds the title for most issues written. Steve Dillon became the regular artist during the second half of Ennis's run.Ennis' landmark work to date is the 66-issue epic Preacher, which he co-created with artist Steve Dillon. Running from 1995 to 2000, it was a tale of a preacher with supernatural powers, searching (literally) for God who has abandoned his creation.While Preacher was running, Ennis began a series set in the DC universe called Hitman.
Despite being lower profile than Preacher, Hitman ran for 60 issues (plus specials) from 1996 to 2001, veering wildly from violent action to humour to an examination of male friendship under fire.Other comic projects Ennis wrote during this time period include Goddess, Bloody Mary, Unknown Soldier, and Pride & Joy, all for DC/Vertigo, as well as origin stories for The Darkness for Image Comics and Shadowman for Valiant Comics.After the end of Hitman, Ennis was lured to Marvel Comics with the promise from Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada that he could write The Punisher as long as he cared to.
I've never been a great Punisher fan, but I like the concept of a vigilante in a world of superheroes. More on this later.The book starts off with lots of gratuitous violence, but with little story.
About a third of the way through I started to get interested. I liked the responses from the general public about what the Punisher is doing. I didn't like the responses, or lack thereof, of the rest of the superhero population of New York as the Punisher goes on a killing spree.There is one notable I've never been a great Punisher fan, but I like the concept of a vigilante in a world of superheroes.

I didn't like the responses, or lack thereof, of the rest of the superhero population of New York as the Punisher goes on a killing spree.There is one notable exception, Daredevil, but his involvement is purely because of his, at this stage of his career, by-the-book justice system approach to crime fighting. In this book the Punisher wins their encounter supposedly forcing Daredevil to accept the Punisher's point of view. However, considering Daredevil's capabilities (long time Daredevil fan here) it was a very contrived and unconvincing situation, which I didn't buy. I also did not buy that Daredevil did not continue on the trail of the Punisher afterwards, and if there is one hero that it is very hard to hide from, it is Daredevil.I also don't understand where the Punisher was getting his intel from. This story occurs after he loses his support team, yet he seems to know and have everything he needs to do his job. For example, I do not understand how he knows about Daredevil's super senses, this is not common knowledge at the time, yet he uses this knowledge to get the better of Daredevil in a fight.I have rated this at four stars (should be 3 to 3.5) because of some interesting additional aspects of the story brought in towards the end of the book, which have me looking forward to the second part of this story.Not for fans of Daredevil;-).
