Actually, I'll be doing Transmetropolitan soon, I think. Before May.
That's a lot. I've been daunted by the sheer volume, so I never started it (though that problem hasn't stopped me from starting on Y the Last Man, but in that case I'm borrowing it from my brother who's bought the whole series).
60 issues? That's not a lot! In comparison to, say, fucking Hellblazer. I'll be borrowing the whole thing from my friend Seanan anyway. It's the series I keep getting recommended when I mention Ellis, and her zombie political thriller that comes out in May has some Transmet influence, and apparently I may hang out with Ellis at Comic-Con, so I figure I should read it before then.
Tep, I'd take a demonoid invite if you still have 'em.
amych, profile e-mail okay?

OK, I consider that a helluva recommendation. What do you think of the other Ellis work you've read (in terms of comparison)?

Generally a fan -- love me some Planetary, and his run on StormWatch/the Authorty was awesome. Sometimes he puts out stories where he's mostly going through the motions, but even those tend to be more fun than your average comics, so whattaya gonna do?
But Transmet .. man. I have a love the size of all outdoors for that comic, in all it's bitter, cynical, sarcastic glory. In fact, I have a Spider Jerusalem action figure on my computer, and somewhere I have a picture Darick Robertson drew me of Jerusalem pointing an accusing finger and shouting, "Tell the truth, damn it!" I usually end up re-reading it every year or two, all the way through.

One of these years, Pete will finally give into my pestering and dress up as Spider Jerusalem for Halloween. It will be perfect.
