Warren Ellis has flipped

He just posted this to his mailing list:
bad signal
WARREN ELLIS

For the rest of this week, I may only be addressed as

Comrade Fantastika.

...

Or possibly Lord Fantastika.

Baron Fantastika?

President Fantastika.

El Presidente Fantastika?

...

I can't decide now. It's your fault.

Out to dinner. See you on the other side.

    After We3 and NextWave, I'd pretty much figured he was mental anyway.

    The really really good sort of mental, but mental nonetheless.

    Well, if you can think of another book about cyborg dogs, cats and rabbits, or one that features rats with drillbits for heads, I'd love to read it.

    Man, he just learned the word a couple days ago and has been using it a lot. He also posts from the pub a lot. He was probably sitting there drinking and thinking about the awesome word he wants to work into a Title of some work and thought of these names.

    Did I say Late, motherfucker? NO.

    I said it takes too fucking long to come out. I don't care if it's bi-monthly or bi-fucking-weekly, it is still TOO FUCKING LONG! You've got a reading comprehension problem.

    Man, Ellis and co. love taking their sweet time with Fell. Sometimes he even projects the impression that he doesn't care that much for the book, but I read somewhere recently that the project has plenty of life ahead of it yet.

    Wait, wait, wait.

    It's fucking killing me.

    Desolation Jones was apparently the artist's fault. They've changed artists now (starting with issue #7).

    Dunno what the fuck's up with Fell.

    Warren Ellis has never been a poster boy for sturdy mental health.

    In my eyes, this Fantastika bender seems to be a stride towards sanity.

    His site layout is kinda weird, so I use Opera for Mac and with "fit to page" enabled, works better.

    He occasionally mentions on his site that he has a lot of difficulty writing in the format he set up for fell. (16 pages, self contained story. every page done in a 3x3 format.) I think he really likes Fell, it's just difficult for him to write and he isn't under contract to write it at any particular pace, so if he gets behind in his work, Fell is one of the first things to get delayed.

    The awesome thing is that you know now for a fact that everyone involved with the creation and publication of that comic book has a file at the Secret Service.

    Close. That alternate Apollo was called Pluto, if I remember correctly. I have the issues somewhere, but what story arc was that?

    Black Summer looks kind of interesting. Horus looks like Midnighter wearing white, using Mr Terrific's t-spheres.
