>There Used To Be Heroes Once...
It's been a long time for Six Pack.
But there's one last challenge to face.
And it's one our hero cannot face alone.
He's going to need all the help he can find.
This is-
Ennis & McCrea's All-Star Section Eight
And here we go...
The Grapplah!
He stood his ground.
And at the end, that's all that matters.
The slime's coming home

And now, in case the prologue wasn't enough a recap
The rest of them were cool though too, just sayin'.
Goddamn it.
Welcome back, Sixpack.
Noonan's was waiting.
The usual suspects
Just say it Sixpack...he got a hair cut
Simple but effective
Part 2:
wherein where there's a will...
Ride all night, Dogwelder II
Okey dokey
it's honestly amazing how neither ennis or mccrea didn't miss a beat with this even after like 15-20 years
I'm surprised they got everyone to go along with this.
>>78273902
It's pages like this that are...yeah
>>78273902
I still hoped to see Tommy though
>>78273929
>>78273934
i kinda wonder if this wasn't another one of those lost hitman stories ennis had planned out but didn't get the chance to use durign the run, like the jla team up
>when he gives you that look
>>78273984
Maybe, there's some elements that would have worked either then or here
Hal Jordan every one, round of applause.
Part 3:
wherein as good as it's word
>>78273929
>>78273948
Glorious
You are in deep...well, you get the point, now Bueno
>Karl Rayner
...that's actually not a bad name
I think the mustache seals the joke
Not a bad line up
>inappropriate touch
Fantastic
Part 4:
wherein they're finally getting married!
Oh, Baytor...
>>78274407
Dammit Baytor!
Dang, Amazon Jihad sounded fun
Maze traversed, Six pack
Part 5:
wherein seen to believe
Where it all began
>>78274742
This is the most beautiful Page spread i have ever seen
Huh, those really are the people from the first issue...
Did they just...not care?
Once more...
Final Part:
wherein we all hold out hope...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UpqLhYQz28
Attaboy Grapplah
Buckle up, Sixpack...
You need to become you again.
As long as it's you making that stand, don't matter if you got an army or not, Sixpack.
Go get 'em!
Merry Christmas

THE END.
As always I hope someone out there enjoyed this.
I sure did. See you around.
>>78275230
Bump for quick escalations.
>>78273996
>Bueno is wearing thigh high high-heeled boots
>>78274450
Thanks Dave.
>>78273248
Oh god, this made me laugh so much
>>78275525
>>78275716
No problem, it's a classic with Sixpack in the Jimmy Stewart role...what's not to love?
>>78274513
Tommy checking Wondy out, gets me every time.
>>78274742
>Big tub of Cocaine
>>78274222
YES
>>78275255
Section Eight rocks! Thank you!
>>78273661
the use of these classic batman images in this one cracks me up everytime. also, the title of the book Hacken is reading. Thanks for doing this one, DD!
>>78274932
Notice on Baytor's paper that it says "Batman arrested for not paying"
>>78273307
The Grapplah is the most useless asshole in all of comics history, and that is his entire joke. Good god, does he sell it and make it work like a boss. Shine on you fucking bastard.
>>78273378
>>78273969
Between the dog welding and the bodily fluid shower by the senior members, I think Grapplah is hazed enough to be officially in.
>>78274143
>The tapeworm has a mustache
This goddamned comic is fantastic. How does it exist?
I'll admit I didn't find this very funny, and indeed it kinda felt like Ennis taking a dump on one of the few good things he's ever done, overall it felt soulless and pointless
>>78278905
What do you mean by any of that?
>>78275212
>>78275230
>>78275255
>>78275191
No team leaps into action quite like Section Eight
>>78279007
It's Sixpack's life.
Haha, he has to go it alone.
>>78275255
Dogwelder really must be gone. Look at all those fucking barking bastards.
>>78279071
He, like Grapplah or Powertool, were the self destructive aspects of Six Pack.
They gotta be gone for him to move on,
>>78279071
Maybe his family managed to pull the mask and gear off in a struggle, restoring him to normal.
>>78274534
>Bonked Wonder Woman can perfectly understand Baytor
Kek
>>78274767
>>78274742
>Nods to the time Etrigan, Catwoman, Section Eight, and Tommy all teamed up
>Catwoman signed a thing
>Sixpack scared shitless of Etrigan, probably rememebers him
>Etrigan doesn't remember Sixpack, likely i guess.
>>78278668
Not just that but he's a literal white knight
>>78274058
>My god.
>Kyle was telling the truth all those times.
>>78275118
Wait, so is Ennis implying that the New 52 universe is all just Sixpack falling off the wagon?
Thanks, OP.
>>78273661
Oh god the use of classic bat poses is amazing
>>78274781
I can't believe I'm actually reading this
>>78283526
It really threw me off at first. It felt a lot like plain tracing from how forcibly they inserted them.
>>78275255
Good shit dude.
>>78284931
It through me off by his costume being black then suddenly turning blue. I thought we were going to get a different era Bats in every other panel before I realized what was up.
>>78273661
You know, I think I prefer this as the antidote to the perfect Bat-God, over any of the more serious stuff where other heroes or whatever put him in his place, just having him as a guy quibbling over a parking ticket and desperate not to be branded racist.
>>78275255
QAPLA'!
>>78274182
>Karl Rayner
Sounds like a politician to me
>>78274407
>>78274420
I recall people making jokes about how this incident explained the transitions in Wonder Woman's characterization during her run
>>78275255
So... is the entire DCU drunken delusions playing into each other, or what?
>>78274182
hey its the classic doom patrol
>>78286202
The whole story is Sid falling of the wagon, him nearly dying of hypothermia is represented of him losing hope, but real Supes finds Sid and wraps him in his cape in the last page and Sidney, for good or for worse chooses to live on.
>>78286712
See, I couldn't tell that was Sidney in the cape, I thought it was some other drunk who thought he was Superman. And might as well be Superman if everything's an alcoholic delusion.
bamp
>>78273248
Thanks Dave! Finally got around to reading this
rank the all stars.
ASS > AS8 = ASBAR
>>78296102
ASBAR > ASS8 > ASS
>>78274058
>>78274066
Probably my favorite sequence it the whole book
>>78296138
Acceptable ranking
>>78296152
I love it because it works even better if you know how much Ennis doesn't like Green Lantern and you expect him to do something horrible to him... but then you realize Hal is aware of that too and needs to get out of there fast.
>>78274534
Bueno was married to Lobo, right? And now he's marrying Guts. Is he a mormon or something?
>>78273402
Jesus, Batman is missing CHUNKS of flesh.
>>78273613
you can see the outline of six packs dick in the lower left.
Jee-suss
>>78275171
This page is so fucking bittersweet it hurts.
>>78300997
It's definitely more sweet than bitter though
>>78301006
Bitter if seen as Supes enabling him so superheroes can continue to exist thanks to alcoholism.
>>78301063
Sweet in that Sixpack unconsciously knows that he needs it to stay alive, for now at least.
>>78298106
his husbando got replaced by an inferior copy, he got a divorce
>>78296719
Yeah, exactly
I mean I was expecting Ennis to do something completely terrible but instead he makes a jab at Batman, does a little fourth wall breaking and then gets the fuck out of there because he knew what happened to Kyle
it was unexpected and hilarious
>>78274316
>>78274331
Is...
Is that semen?
>sir bueno of excellence
>>78301254
Do you really want to know.
>>78274289
>>78274305
I don't want to imagine what was seen.
>>78275191
That page is so wonderfully horrible.
>>78273248
First time reading the whole thing. It was glorious.
Thanks for the storytime Dave
bumping for others.
>>78274494
What kind of game would Amazon Jihad be?
>>78274513
Even dead,tommy can't stop checking that ass
>>78306143Snu-snu
