I read some of next week's books (I live in the future and I'm driving a hoverbike around right now while I compose this on my holographic fifth generation retinal-implant micro PC) and here's the good news: nothing was agonizing. The Danger Girl: Hawaiian Punch special has some nice Phil Noto art, and it looks like he's actually decided to draw somebody's face besides Courtney Cox or Meg Ryan.
If Global Frequency is any indication, Warren Ellis is probably great in bed in the short-term, but can't keep the shack rocking all night. Each issue has a passable 22 page high-concept actiony plot but there's no substance connecting any of the issues. My good pal Aaron has pointed out that some of the stuff has seemed like Stormwatch notes, and I have to agree, especially with the second issue's NUCLEAR DEATH MAN story. On ISCA (eh), somebody pointed out that we don't really know anything about any of the characters that Warren's created, and they made a good point. Tell me something about, say, Swift from The Authority that goes beyond her love of younger men, her ability to fly really fast, and, well, her love of younger men...
Go ahead, I'll wait.
I'm still waiting...
