Well Garth Ennis has jumped in with both feet with the Midnighter. His first mission out, solo, and he's been recruited by a millionaire. And by recruited, I mean, knocked out, absconded, and had a bomb surgically implanted in his chest in case he refuses to do what he's asked. This millionaire just happens to be a concentration camp survivor. However, his parents weren't. So, somehow, he has obtained a time machine. He wants the Midnighter to go back in time and kill Adolf Hitler. Now the Midnighter doesn't have any reservations to that request, per se, but he also has a level head and knows that this type of endeavor is just not going to turn out as planned. Well, he goes back in time. Finds the young Hitler when he's a private in the German army, and is prepared to do what he set out to do. However, at the last minute, everything seems to freeze up as the Midnighter is confronted by some sort of time police. My guess. Anyways, cool story and a great character. This series is just starting so we don't have much to go on yet, but I have high hopes for it. With Garth as the scribe, what more could I hope for?
