Warren Ellis is a writer who has rocked various genres. Visit his homepage to find out what's in his brain. Search for him on amazon to find a bibliography. .
Anyway, two weeks ago, the week of July 23rd, was a big week for him. His first novel, Crooked Little Vein, hit the stands, and the next day the first issues of two new comic books he's writing hit the stands as well. These two new comics are Doktor Sleepless, and Black Summer.
For those who have not read Transmetropolitan yet, I highly recommend it. A brilliant critique of the future of America. A future that's not so distant that one cannot see the relations between now and the later/present presented. It is not for the weak or feeble minded, so if you think yourself among them, run now.
I came to tell that Ellis knows his audience incredibly well. After all, he built it from the ground up. People like me have been worked over by the meme that is Warren Ellis' persona.
All three of these books are filled to the brim (overflowing, in the case of Doktor Sleepless) with the Strange and the Weird. Ellis' love for these is immense.
Anyway, I was going to say more, but I decided to go and read Doktor Sleepless and Black Summer again. So good-bye.
