I had the advantage of starting Transmet before I really got to know what Ellis was like. By issue 30, it was starting to become disturbingly clear that this was Ellis(or, rather, what Ellis thought of himself), and that he not only had nothing new to say beyond that point, but lacked the creative insight with which to say it(what seperated him from Hunter H. Thompson).
Planetary, however, remains Ellis' finest work, in my opinion. Even if he writes a dozen Transmets, in the end I think Planetary would redeem him, in my eyes.
