New one from Warren Ellis: Fell

I enjoyed it a lot even though I'm not a big Ellis fan. He had a lot of interesting things to say in the text feature in the back. I'm looking forward to the next issue.

 

Hot damn. interesting. So if each issue is self contained, what was Issue one about?

 

Yeah, I bought it and thought it was really well done. I'll read anything that Ben Templesmith illustrates, hell, I'd read *****e instructions if he illustrated them! Anywho, back on topic. I love Ellis' idea of a relatively cheap comic with great, self-contained stories, amazing artwork and some cool, "meet the writer" supplemental stuff at the end. I think I'm hooked. Gotta add it to my pull-file. Gonna have to drop another crappy Marvel book for it, probably. Totally worth it, though.

 

I have to agree
His cover art is what drew me to the comic in the first place.



I already liked him as an artist, and now I have lots of respect for him that he was willing to go in on this experimental venture with Ellis.

It's nice to see a book like this come together so well. Templesmith is a perfect fit for this story, he gives Snowtown that perfect eerie feel.

I really want this book to do well so that it'll survive and maybe we'll see more like it.

Warren Ellis put his email address for this title on the back pages, he's also encouraging people to take pictures of their own Snowtown tags and send it to him...it's already started


The orange is Protected. It will outlive us all.

Are you referring to Warren Ellis' Transmetropolitan comics? If so, then no. But I am interested in hearing about them. What are they about?

 

just about the best thing Ellis has written...

Sweet! I'll add this to my ever-growing list of "must-have books". Thanks, Lackey!

 

I love the Alan Moore-inspired writers like Ellis and Grant Morrison. It's so refreshing to have writers who don't stick to the same old conventions and subject matter. It's great to have someone who speaks to my skewed views on the world.

 

Yeah, I can tell just by the cover art! Looking forward to checking it out. Thanks for the recommendations, Elijya and Lackey!

 

Fine, thanks Elijya and **** you Lackey for being so nice as to link to the book's description!

 

l entered a comic shop for the first time in prolly 6 - 7 months today, and almost bought that comic just for the cover. It was just sitting there next to the counter looking pretty. But...yknow.

 

nun much, you?

(btw, l didnt mean to leave yhanging on that IM the other day..l answered it, and left the room, and like 2 hours later when l went to close the IM cuz you hadnt replied, I realized somehow my messege din't get sent...just sittin' there still. )

 

Can't find #3, but I read the other five, and I'm in love with this series. Any word on #7, or is the series really over?

 

I haven't seen this yet but in general, I really like Ben Templesmith's art.

 

i hadn't heard anything about it being cancelled, but i hope not. that would suck. it's the perfect sized comic to read while i'm on the can.
