When Alan Moore was crap (Violator: The World, Part One)
Continuing the look through the lowest point (quality-wise) in Moore's career... This three-issue series was called Violator: The World, or at least that's what the inside front covers of the issues will tell you. Reading carefully though, it becomes pretty clear that "The World" is only meant to be the title of the first issue, not the mini-series as a whole.
It's such an assurance of quality when they can't even do the title right.
Violator is Spawn's arch-enemy, or something along those lines. He's a demon. At the beginning of this series, presumably due to events that happened in another comic, he's lost his powers and is trapped as a human on Earth.
Those are Violator's brothers (Vindicator, Vaporizer, Vandalizer, and Vacillator; Moore creations all) checking on him. He's in trouble with the mob (which, again, presumably ties into goings-on in another comic), who are about to drown him at the docks. However, he's not easy to kill, as the mobsters discover when he grabs onto one of their neckties.
Mob boss Tony T. decides to hire an assassin to bring down Violator, and so we meet another Moore creation:
The Admonisher tracks Violator down at a mall. "I am the Admonisher!... and I'm here to give you a darn good telling off!"
"...your FLESH and BlOOD!" His brother have shown show up to kill him themselves, before the Admonisher does.
And always remember, the Spawn/WildCATs mini-series was worse.
