Planetary is a great book, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, but Ellis' lack of respect for fans of the book has turned me off of his works. Other than Anna Mercury, I haven't bought or read anything by Ellis in a few years because you can feel his contempt for Planetary whenever he had to talk about it. Sure, I bet he was sick of talking about it, but that's his own fault that it was so late we all had to wait for Cassiday to free up enough time to draw it. He should scrotum up and say "sorry guys" whenever it comes up instead of his usual "drop the fucking subject you shit-eye!". I'm buying it, if nothing more than to finish the set and JC art.
Any idea why Ellis hated his own book that much?
