And it's just gotten worse since. I'm kinda glad he's at Marvel now so I can ignore him even harder.mathematicscorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439579069513071094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-56700717531021848732011-09-12T13:41:37.361-05:002011-09-12T13:41:37.361-05:00I honestly have trouble differentiating which Elli...I honestly have trouble differentiating which Ellis stuff I've read with these characters. It all sort of runs together. I know I read a few random Raney issues, and at least one arc drawn by Bryan Hitch. I want to say I read a bit of Oscar Jimenez, too. Which one had a British character in a coat smoking and talking shade about tearing someone a new butthole and generally stooping to a lateral level near villainy in their altruistic actions? What does it say about me that I found <i>WildC.A.T.s/Aliens</i> the most memorable because a) WildC.A.T.s, b)Aliens, c) endeadened Stormwatch members in a licensing tie-in? At least Millar had a uniquely different atrocity in each story arc to help me keep them straight. "Oh yeah, this is the one where the villain traveled back in time to molest the Engineer as an adolescent! That was the one where Apollo got sodomized by the Captain America analog!"Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-71588968791460796382011-09-12T11:38:07.609-05:002011-09-12T11:38:07.609-05:00I haven't read the Stormwatch Ellis stuff yet,...I haven't read the Stormwatch Ellis stuff yet, but I am very familiar with his Authority run, and it always kind of bothered me that he went nigh full on villain as an undercurrent. I think a subtler approach would have brought out the sophistication you referred to me. Still better than 90% of comics out there.mathematicscorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439579069513071094noreply@blogger.com
