there's a scene in ennis' hellblazer (one of many, sure, but this was *the* one for me) when the bad guys talk about going after one of his friends, and the way that scene plays out (to a cliffhanger issue ending) had me ready to run out to their defense.
it was a small character (or so i'd mistakenly thought up until that point). all of a sudden i realised a character that had been around for a while and i had no real interest in was actually someone i'd come to know and care for.
think that was the first time for me i'd reacted so strongly like that to a comic and i've been an ennis fan ever since. his hit/miss ratio for me is definitely on the plus (and i agree about True Faith - that's going back a ways..)
