How boring!
I need to learn more about this fabled Warren Ellis.
Warren Ellis is responsible in full or part for these things:
Even if he stopped there, it'd be a worthy legacy.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Dude. Transmet. Worthy legacy all by itself.

I have limited Transmet exposure. I'm currently working on Planetary and Authority. Too much stimulus!

I think I read all of Transmet in a 48 hour period during the height of the '04 election season, and had about another 48 hours afterwards where fiction and reality were kind of blurred.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I just read his LJ. Comic books confuse me and make me feel violent.
