An Actual Warren Ellis C/D ILC Thread

You might want to reread the thread there, rog.

Am I not alone? Reread but still missed it. A comfort nonetheless.

I love this line!

ooh?

and issue 27 of Planetary. mmm.

Well it still isn't out, is it? Last I heard was upthread, also that it's 96 pages or so. As it stands it certainly has a shitty ending, tho.

Aetheric Mechanics - I liked this one quite a bit. I thought it was a fun twist on Sherlock Holmes and some other ideas and I thought the conlcusion worked well. This worked better than some of his other short stories, as it was pretty much 'annual' length at 48 pages.

Anna Mercury - This wasn't bad, it was kind of an modern pulp action movie. The story is pretty much an origin arc setup, but it is pretty good. There are some cool art-deco look to the New Ataraxia world that Anna is trying to save.

Doktor Sleepless has really come together for me. Ellis is taking a different angle in the second arc and I'm really finding it interesting.

You know, on Planetary ending badly - what was so suckass was the way they built up the Four as these incredibly scary bad guys, but then when he met the two remaining ones he was able to defeat them by pulling a fast one on them. Hrrrm.

Works for me, a fast one >> big fighty any time.

Hah, but maybe the Planetary post-end issue will add something... but I doubt it.
