Is it just me, or did Warren Ellis in the 90's have a hell of a ride with Wildstorm? IMHO, Warren couldn't right a bad comic if he tried in Wildstorm back then makes me wish he could come back to DC for the new 52.

To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films.

I agree. Stormwatch is one of the greatest superhero comics ever made, even if it was partially overshadowed by the subsequent Authority. If only all comics had that kind of flair.
His run from Stormwatch up to the Authority is absolutely great.
Animal Man, Batman Inc, Constantine, Earth 2, Flash, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Justice League, Justice League Dark, JLA, Saga, Swamp Thing, Supergirl and Superman.

Yeah, the Stormwatch/Authority stuff is truly awesome. A bunch of his minis from that period are good, too, as is (of course) his work on Planetary, which I think began in 1998? 97, maybe? Anyway, yup, it's terrific. Even his journeyman work isn't too bad—Marvel did a three-volume "Excalibur Visionaries" set of TPBs that collected his run on that series. It ain't perfect, and there are some obvious growing pains, but it's damn good. When he got to WildStorm, he really got a chance to shine. I always wish there were more Global Frequency books, and I really, really wanted to know what happened in Desolation Jones.

Did Aetheric Mechanics come out in the 90s? I loved Aetheric Mechanics.
