Dead Pig Collector (Kindle Single) de Warren Ellis

(3.25 Stars)

Warren has a great cadence with his works and keeps you thinking that you’ll know the ending… but you’d be wrong!

I think he is a master of short fiction and this book is no different. Entertaining, visual, and slightly absurd.

Transmetropolitan VOL 01: Back on the Street de Warren Ellis

Hunter S. Thompson meets Fahrenheit 451. In a somewhat dystopian future filled with scents that record everything and microbes that convert people to other species, a semi-deranged, drug-addicted gonzo journalist returns to the metropolis he once covered with foul-mouthed wit and facts. Quite funny and often disgustingly so, it's a great series.

Transmetropolitan Vol. 8: Dirge (New Edition) de Warren Ellis

Read this while I was on my NYC trip. It's not bad but felt like a segue into the bigger story. This is probably the first time ever you get to see a "soft side" to Spider. Not a lot happens but it is a fun read. I don't think I would have enjoyed reading it over a 6 months waiting for the next episode to come out - just not enough happening.

I Kick Your Face (Nextwave, Agents of H.A.T.E.) de Warren Ellis

Access a version of the below that includes illustrations on my blog.

In the first volume, Elsa seems like she could be the same character we knew from Bloodstone, just older, but in the series's second volume we are told she was raised by her father (not her mother, as established in her debut), who dropped her into monster pits as a baby in order to develop her skills. It passes my law of retcons: though different, I find it just as interesting as her old origin.

The book as a whole is good fun... one sort of feels like it's simultaneously (almost) Stuart Immonen's best work and like he was wasted a bit. Like, there's not a bad panel, scene, character, or composition here... but oughtn't he be illustrating things like Secret Identity or Moving Pictures? Though if they had got some hack to do this, it wouldn't have worked. At first I thought the whole thing was a bit of an Authority parody... then I remembered who wrote The Authority! But when I got to the end, I realized I was right. What kind of writer satirizes themself just six years later? Don't answer that, but it's funny anyway.

So is it great? I don't know. Is it worth your time? I don't know. But if Marvel reprinted the complete run at an affordable price again (I read it via Hoopla this time), I probably would pick it up. Healing America by beating people up!
