Having pretty much now devoured the Warren Ellis back issues (take a look at "Bad World", by the way - now that's misanthropy well deserved), it's been much on my mind. So much so that I've started juggling ideas for a comic about a computer sciences student who pays his bills by being a just-slightly-less-than-competent contract killer in quasi-Lovecraftian Austin. I fully expect this to end up on the same scrapheap as "The Amazing Adventures of Padre Dave and His Fantastical Time-Traveling Moustache", but that's not the point. Do like some of the provisional dialogue, though. Comics. Huzzah for comics, and special comic-themed day.
Over the past couple of days, I've slurped the following hellish works of pictoriofiction into my rancid literamaw:
"Strange Killings and Strange Kisses"
Fantastic, but immature. "Desolation Jones" will finish the job properly. Really, really mediocre artwork. Really.
"Global Frequency"
Pretty neat - like "Orbiter" a good premise well executed, but with occasional pause for trademark body horror. Wonder what the TV pilot's like.
"Bad World"
There's actually no real reason to read this if you've ever seen a http://www.somethingawful.com Link of the Day, or Weekend web, in fact, it's a bit dull, but the vignettes in issue three are funny and worth a look.
The parts of "The Authority" I'd missed.
Yeah, whatever.
"1602"
You suck, Neil Gaiman. You fucking suc- oh, wait, you don't. You amazingly don't, so why are you daubing out this bullshit, eh? Do you even have an answer that isn't "LOL - Jean Grey in drag, ha ha". No? Thought not. It's the X-Men. In the PAST! Yawn.
The "Emma Frost" comic. For some reason.
I'm gay, why did I even read this? The west can do stomach-shot comics too, who knew? Oh, wait, anybody who'd seen an issue of "Fathom".
Bits of early "Hellblazer"
Shazzam.
Most of "Age of Apocalypse"
The 1980s can officially lick my scrotum.
There was probably something else, but I don't much recall. Hmm - what next? Moreover, was there any real point to this post. Maybe I should stick up my notes for the opening frames of the Austin comic thang. Or not.

Let's let the woman with the thick-ass Scottish accent and a tongue ring read Seuss-ian, tongue-twister-type stories to little bastards with the attention span of a hummingbird.
