Kurzbeschreibung
Writer Garth Ennis returns to the chronicles of Danny Wormwood, a shifty yet sympathetic television executive who also happens to be the Antichrist. Having averted his devilish father’s plans for an all-out apocalypse by eliminating God and the Devil, Danny has started to get his life back together – reuniting with his girlfriend Maggie and drinking beers with humbled messiah Jay and Jimmy the Talking Rabbit. But having rid Hell of its rightful lord, he now must face an even worse successor – the fallen, corrupt Pope Jacko! Ennis, the critically acclaimed creator of PREACHER and CROSSED, drags the whole world into the gutter with his trademark razor-sharp dialogue and biting wit, alongside the stunning artwork by collaborator Oscar Jimenez.
Über den Autor
Garth Ennis, a critically acclaimed writer from Northern Ireland, has been working in the comic book industry for over 20 years, and is most easily recognized as the creator of PREACHER and long-time contributor to Marvel's PUNISHER. Perhaps his greatest success in recent years has been CROSSED, a horror survival series published by Avatar Press, in which the world has been overrun by sadistic homicidal maniacs. The CROSSED property has been optioned for film by Kevin Spacey’s Trigger Street Productions.

Wormy
3. Januar 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
Life is good for Wormwood - Maggie took him back after his infidelities and he's enjoying a strong, monogamous relationship. Even his brain damaged pal Jay seems to be collecting his wits. But he's about to be hit with a few changes - namely Pope Jacko, who was previously sent to Hell for a whole litany of abuses, is back and it turns out Wormwood's going to be a dad: but is he ready?
Having read the first two Wormwood books, I thought this was an interesting enough series but not Ennis' best; having read "The Last Battle" (which, by the way, crap title as it's not), I think it's now not even an interesting series and it continues to be a long way from being Ennis' best work.
Wormwood spends most of the book wondering whether or not he's ready to be a dad or not as he tries to win back Maggie. It's the stuff of soap operas, that is hackneyed and dull, which Ennis has trotted out in his Dynamite series "The Boys" and has done so again here, to the same stultifying effect. The entire time he's blithering on about commitment and responsibility I'm thinking, this guy's supposed to be the Anti-Christ?!
Then there's Pope Jacko who possesses Wormwood's rival TV exec - Jacko is a caricature if ever there was one of pure evil and Ennis lets loose with his juvenile fantasies of bad behaviour through this character. It's nothing any Ennis fan hasn't seen before in books like "Crossed" or "The Boys" so it feels like mostly filler and dull.
Not to give anything away but the "Last Battle" ends with two guys sitting in a bar with a possessed laptop, a whole bunch of exposition, and the expected resolution.
It's such a boring book. I couldn't wait to finish it just to get it away from me. It's not a long book but it felt like an age to complete. Garth Ennis is a good writer but the overplayed modern Jesus/Devil religious stuff is just too prevalent and stale to carry any sort of compulsion with a story and Ennis doesn't bring anything new to the concept here. The artwork is so-so but I felt Oscar Jimenez relied too heavily on computer software for his artwork rather than pencil/inks of Wormwood's best artist, Jacen Burrows.
Totally forgettable and if you make it to the end, Ennis basically has his characters agree that this book stunk but the next would be better - not for me, mate, I'm finished with the Wormwood series now. Try some other book, any other book, than this one for a good read.
