Argh this is bananas. We need a dedicated subforum for this imo. So much conversation lost to the mush of a single 50-page thread.
Going to post more when I have time later on, but dammit I LOVE Garou. I hated him at first, but he slowly grew on me as I mashed my way through the series. If you know anything about writing, an anti-villain is insanely hard to write, and an anti-hero is insanely hard to not turn into an edge-lord. Someone ONE is writing Garou in a way that he straddles the line perfectly between anti-hero and anti-villain. He's one of the grayest characters I've ever read in a comic without being a wacky caricature like most of the characters (as much as I love them, it gets tiresome).
