Garth Ennis, the acclaimed writer behind Preacher, The Boys and the inimitable Crossed, is set to take the lead on a new James Bond comic series. The British-born writer made a name for himself with his irreverent, bloody and often hard to stomach approach to writing. Some may think Ennis is a strange choice to helm an outing of the glitzy and glamorous James Bond, but Ennis is definitely the right man to shake up, not stir, the franchise.The name “Ennis” has become a byword for comic book intensity. Nothing illustrates this better than his creator owned series Crossed, which is a violent, iconoclastic spectacle that captures the writer at his most extreme. Ennis, at his best, is pure car-crash literature, and although the James Bond franchise is not one typically associate with this, Ennis’ particular blend of ultra-violence, blasphemy and subversive characterization is the perfect recipe for a fresh, new take on Bond. The James Bond franchise has flirted with silliness as much as its titular character has flirted with attractive women. But Garth Ennis is likely to take things in another direction. The Bond most fans know is a post-war creation. Original author, Ian Fleming, however, based the character on the commandos he served with during the war. Ennis is a noted fan of war comics, and his perspective on this element of Bond’s creation will surely help ground his future adventures.RELATED: Thor’s Darkest Story Was Written By the Creator of The BoysRELATED: Gen V is Failing to Find Its Own Identity
