"Wouldn't want to write the X-Men, and I suppose the X-Men is the ultimate Marvel comic, and I really wouldn't want to go anywhere near it at all, although on the other had I wouldn't mind having a crack at something like the Punisher"
- Garth Ennis
About this Quote
In this quote, Garth Ennis reveals his unwillingness to compose for the popular Marvel comic series, X-Men. He acknowledges that the X-Men is considered the supreme Marvel comic, but he still has no desire to deal with it. However, he does point out that he would be open to writing for a character like the Punisher. This might be since the Punisher is a more gritty and violent character, which lines up more with Ennis' writing style. In general, Ennis seems to have a strong hostility to the X-Men franchise, however is open to checking out other characters within the Marvel universe.
