Ennis is a breath of tonic air in a world of comics that take themselves too severely . DC and Marvelare haunted by crisis after crisis , andBabsshows a worldly concern with just as high stakes - but the stakes can be funny , too . The Boysshowed that what people really want is a good laugh - specifically at things they know they should n’t express joy at .
