Adequate, anyway. I'm continually irked by Ennis' repeated tendency
to, when faced with the choice to make a better story or a more grotesque
story, to choose unwisely.

It had great parts, and could have reached overall greatness with aggressive
editing to remove all traces of, say, Arseface and some of the more
ludicrous parts of Stark's adventures.
