Can we just admit that he was never good? The only of his works I somewhat enjoyed was Fell

for me it was Desolation Jones

Ellisfag

calling somebody else's taste bad

Lmao.

It was rather prophetic. We got our Smiler-in-Chief, we got multigender degeneracy, we got the rise of independent journalism.

Not comics but remember Ender's Game? A teenage internet columnist blogs his way into being the undisputed leader of the free world.

FreakAngels had such a disappointing non-ending.

we wrecked the world; it needed to be remade, and that's what we're made for

actually the world is just outside our door and it's a good thing they're here to save us

Like, what?

*the world is fine just outside our door

But I like moon knight

His avatar press stuff is great 90's edge.
He's a good, not great writer. He falls too easily into his own voice, to the point that sometimes his characters all sound like sockpuppets

I don't have any thoughts on religion, but if he just shut the fuck up about how much of an atheist he is I could've enjoyed Castlevania

For me it's

every character has to swear like a 12-year old who just discovered the word "fuck"

Ellis seems to have no real feel for that kind of aesthetic.

I think it's a combination of the three of these. It's the sort of thing that was seen as cool back in the late 90s, early 00s when other popular edgy internet Gen Xers made their audience believe they were smarter than everyone else for liking edgeslop and midwit takes so it masked any of their shortcomings

Eh, I had fun with Nextwave.

I could've enjoyed Castlevania

Even past season 1?

He's alright. Not super great or anything but he has his moments. I liked Fell a lot. Doktor Sleepless was great. He's just lazy and stuck firmly up his own ass.

he looks like exactly the kind of person he is and that's really funny to me

he's fine I guess he overhated right now but less due to his work and more due to his sexual proclivities that got him cancelled
his work his generally fine but nothing grounded breaking outside of the original Authority run and planetary which is more due to artistic choices made in those book than writing ones

His avatar press stuff is great 90's edge.

I think it varies in quality

In my opinion, Fell proves that he is actually a really good comic writer. That book, on a technical level, is excellent, and I'm pissed we aren't getting any more of it.

I think the big problem is he cannot really write more than six issues. Transmet worked because he got to do these little scifi chunks with a (somewhat mediocre) arch plot, but any time he tries to do anything more than that, it falls apart. And he hasn't really done anything since the """"""lost hard drive """"""""

He's an artifact of a time long past, basically.

The fun part of planetary, imo, was the monster of the week stuff. The big plot was kind of a wet fart.

It also took way too fucking long to come out. I reread it last year and I'd never really appreciated how short it was.

There was supposed to be more Fell coming but women got pissed when Image announced it and canned the idea

Bitches need slapped to the floor.

Preach

Transmet, Nextwave and Planetary were all massively popular on Anon Babble

Planetary is one of the best comics ever and he did a few other things here or there that are OK.

He's not GREAT, but he's probably better than whatever shit writers you think are good.

yes but we can't let that get in the way of his tantrum about a controversy he made up to get mad at

Planetary is one of the best comics ever

Lmao, the absolute shit taste.

He's not GREAT

Or even remotely good either.

Sure, I guess I can agree he was never good, but I wouldn't go so far as to say he was bad, either. I'd say he's fair.

When he was bad it was just unenjoyable generally but nothing that really damaged a character like One More Day or caused really big outrage, and when he was good it was enjoyable but nothing that would get into the 'canon' of comics - you know, the seminal works like DKR or Watchmen or 'must reads' like Kingdom Come.

He was an absolute faggot for Castlevania and I guess he's a sex pest because he had consensual sex with women who wanted him to use his influence to get them ahead where their own natural talent could not. The former is worse to me than the latter - I doubt Ellis was the Weinstein of comics.

The latter is bad because it led to retarded women getting in the way of us getting more Fell.
Fuck, that makes me mad to this day.

It's beginning to look like Gaiman is our particular hobbies Uber creep.

I wonder if him being so fucking terrible will allow Ennis to slip back to work.

I'm sorry for your loss, anon. Console yourself that Ellis was unlikely to finish it and you'd just be made because he did like six issues and lost interest like he always does with projects.

Was there a scandal that kept Ennis from working? Did he get in trouble for trying to blow some military veterans in a pub bathroom or something?

He's not that good but he's probably better than most of the comic book writers you like.

cope

Meant Ellis, lol.

seethe

Planetary was good
So was Nextwave

Sounds like Card predicted the 49th American President

Nah, you write like a fag and all your shit is retarded.

Ellis was edge done right.
