I agree if there is any one 'comic' book to read from Ennis it'd be
Preacher, it has the quality of story that one expects from a novel, to say
it is true art would be to desecrate the term art for my own purposes to
display a lot of the other corporate driven 'comics' as being just that
(money engines) and not being art.

If you haven't try Dave Sim's cerebus it's worth the time.
