I concede your point on Preacher. I liked the tangential stuff, but I can see why another reader would find it unnecessarily drawn out. As you said earlier, it's a matter of taste.

Transmet had come cool sci-fi ideas and a great villain in the Smiler. Perhaps it helps that I haven't read Come In Alone (though I did read a few of them as they were posted at CBR), so I have less of a mental picture of Ellis the man. And, to be honest, I don't have a huge problem with a writer living out their desires and frustrations through a character.

Also by Ellis, I loved the first two Authority TPBs.


Thing is- I can’t spell or type. I spell so badly my spell check doesn’t even know what I was trying to spell. And I have five Eisners HAHAHAHHA!! -Brian Michael Bendis
