Anyone else check it out?

I think I might just be in for the long haul on this one. I love the art and Warren Ellis' writing tics didn't seem to be as strongly in evidence as they sometimes are.

Orikaeshigitae · May 2005

I didn't get a chance to pick it up today.

Is Ellis writing himself as Jones?

How does the [spoiler:0454f0c162]Hitler porn[/spoiler:0454f0c162] fit into the plot?

How's the art?

GABBO GABBO GABBO · May 2005

I've got mine but I didn't read it yet. Rebirth and Astonishing were calling my name.

The Cow · May 2005

Desolation Jones is painfully awesome.

"Jones. Watch bukkake with me as we talk."

"I'd rather just talk and leave, Filthy."

"Jones, Jones. Everything goes better with bukkake."

Penguin Incarnate · May 2005

I forget, is this one a mini or is this going to be an ongoing series for some time?

It's like Ellis has been lurking SE.

Did you pick up the issue? It's about Hitler's porn and secret agents and urban consciousness. It's like he's been trolling my mind, is what it's like.

Have you read his blog? The man thinks like that all the time. He's a genius, as far as I'm concerned.

denihilist · May 2005

Apparently I'm going to pick it up on Sunday if it's still there.

Sunday is my comic day.

I have no idea what happened here - Cow Edit

Blog and mailing list both. I was seriously considering catching a flight up to Toronto just to see him. My love for Ellis transcends the flesh.

I love how he thinks - he just inundates himself in as much shit as he can, all the time, and just lets himself soak. And then he spits out wonderful goodness.

I live four hours away from Toronto, but I couldn't make it up there.

My comicbook loving friend couldn't either, so no signed issues of Transmet for Orikae.

The art is unbelievably radical.

And part of what I like about it is that so far, Jones doesn't seem to be as much "Ellis" as, say Snow or Spider is/was. He's still snarky and likeable, but not so much in the "I shit on my grandmother's face and drink nazi piss" kind of verbal way most of his other protaganists are.

He's hired to find it.

Just finished reading it - holy penis, this is awesome.

The expository bits read like his blog - of course, I wouldn't notice that if I didn't read his blog. It's funny though, being able to say "I remember when he found that".. he uses his blog as a short-term memory.

I

the art. I

the art to the extreme, and I really fucking want to find out about Jones.

Really really badly.

Starfuck · May 2005

I didn't see it when I went Wednesday. I'm going to check again today, because sometimes the guy doesn't get everything that's not DC or Marvel restocked or on the rack right of way. or is it right away? right away. that's what i'm sticking too.

Ferry · May 2005

I really need to pick this up, I love the fact that ellis really seems to understand the whole bizzare subculture that the internet generates.

Dork · May 2005

I have heard the title but have never known anything about it, but from what I'm hearing in this thread, I have no interest in it. I mean, Bukkake? Is that brilliant writing or a post in an internet forum?

Ferry · May 2005

Its called warren ellis spends too much time on the internet, and he does many of the same horrible things we do. Hell, he seems to hunt down more shock sites/pictures than I do.

Hell, Warren Ellis probably orchestrated the whole Goatse phenomenon.

sambamellisjam?!

Ferry · May 2005

What about my dearest Samuel?

Penguin Incarnate · May 2005

I think I might enjoy this series. I don't like the art, but I think it could definetly go places.

Orikaeshigitae · May 2005

I would like to say that I have a new signature and avatar combination.

That's pretty much it.

Moriveth · May 2005

I'm gonna pick this up.

See, that's interesting, because I love the art. Way more than Transmet, even.

Moriveth · May 2005

Transmet had awesomely awesome art.

There's a con next weekend, Oakland Convention Center, 21-22, called the Golden State Comic Con I think. Both Darick Robertson AND JH Williams III will be there. ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH TO MEET THEM??? Also I will try to be there, so you have to be there too.

Servo · May 2005

Darick Robertson drew me a Spider on the cover of my first Transmet trade.

Nice guy.

Orikaeshigitae · May 2005

The art is orgasmic, and that's all I have to say bout that.

Sars_Boy · May 2005

I must have this. FUCK being poor..........

Orikaeshigitae · May 2005

Only click if you don't mind mild spoilers, but DO enjoy awesome.

Duddits · May 2005

"I like porn."

"Yeah, I think I'm just gonna let that one sit in the air for a while."

Starfuck · May 2005

My shop didn't order them, so I told him to fuckin order them. It should be there this week.

Orikaeshigitae · May 2005

Hey, wait a minute.

[spoiler:496be349a4]Wasn't he surrounded by televisions and out in the middle of the day when he was talking to the Colonel? It could've been left over trouble from getting into the house, making it different from physical abuse which he seems to be able to take. [/spoiler:496be349a4]

Though the only proof of that we have at this point is his word and if the Great Gatsby taught me anything, it's never trust the narrator...not that Jones is the narrator in this case but you know what I mean.

That's a good explanation.

I like you.

SkankPlaya · May 2005

I really liked that 1st Desolation Jones.

The Cow · June 2005

It's still on page 1, so I feel like I'm justified.

bad signal
WARREN ELLIS

People have been asking me how long the DESOLATION
JONES "miniseries" is. Seems to me there may have
been a PR hiccup somewhere between DC and the retail
sector.

JONES is NOT a miniseries. I do have an endpoint in
mind, but it's several years away. Like TRANSMET,
it's a longform book.

DouglasDanger · June 2005

wooo

I need to pick this up, with a bunch of other stuff, once I get money.

After I pay several hundred dollars for work on my car, so I can pay $20 on it to get it inspected.

Orikaeshigitae · June 2005

hey

isn't #2 supposed to be released soon?
