Alan Moore opened my eyes, Grant Morrison expanded my mind but Warren Ellis punched you in the mother fucking face!

Dammit. Waiting so long for the Grant Morrison one. Now after I see another one I have to wait even longer for this one.

I can't wait.

@Blowfeld20k Yep, Plantery, Authority and early Transmet were good, he reminds me of Frank Miller, write a couple of great books and then write watered down versions of what worked for them in the past.

He doesn't do interviews and ran his website like a nazi and now releasing a documentary? Sounds like someone is desperate to control his image. Can't blame him after his novel was torn apart.

@brokennarcissist Yeah hate to burst the fanboy bubble but Ellis hasn't really done much of interest since Planetary. Am a HUGE fan but lately he's done nish. His rep amongst anyone with good taste hasn't been enhanced by putting his name on the APPALLING Iron man & Wolverine animes as both are terrible in so many ways, & a fuckin' clinic on bad indifferent, cliché ridden writing. Both will stand as all time lows in the guys career. I am GUTTED WTF has happened to Warren Ellis?!?!?!

His various work in comic books is absolutely amazing, but if you haven't yet read his novel "Crooked Little Vein" then you should do so immediately, and as soon as you reach the end of that book, go back to the beginning & read it again.

I love Warren Ellis -- such an inspiring, SUI GENERIS guy: our Large Hadron Collider of comics, SuperEgo/Id, cerebral/bestial (his face oozes testosterone), writer/raconteur extraordinaire; the fulcrum, keystone, and catalyst for a sequence of events that will recreate the metaverse. Damnit, I'd throw away my 'Malthusian belt' and give up 'soma' for Warren <3 This documentary is a sure winner. Preorder it asap

Some people are like an open book. This guy is several open books, illustrations, blogs, forums, chat rooms, music collections, three-eyed smiley face products and "Where's my fucking coffee?" mugs.

@spiderjonze and garth ennis jerked off to all of it

[brokennarcissist]

Their is a reason this guy is a recluse, he hasn't written anything original since Transmetropolitan # 8

Can't wait for this
