WAITING
FOR TOMMY: WARREN ELLIS REMIXED
By
Richard Johnston
MAliChoudhury-cactusmaac:
I just finished reading Ruins and felt it was a bit atypical
of your work. Not because the writing was sub-par or anything
but because in all the stuff you've done that I've read (MOS,
Planetary, Transmet, Authority) despite everything there is
an undercurrent of optimism, joy and a hope for the future.
Ruins was different because it was very, very bleak. Any particular
reason why that was so? And how did the project come about
in the first place? Finally it was pretty interesting to see
the ideas that you've used elsewhere like prisons for freaks
and undesirables, a mad Hulk that was locked away in a vault
and Galactus floatig dead in space.
WARREN: RUINS was a comedy.
It came
about as an issue of WHAT IF?, originally, a quick swipe at
MARVELS -- and then somehow EIC Tom DeFalco got to see it,
re-commissioned it as a two-part series in the MARVELS format,
and then resigned, laughing.
CAM
STARR: I just read the last Transmet trade. GREAT ending,
but I have a question. Even with Callahan gone, isn't the
rest of the administration just as bad, such as the V.P.?
WARREN: Nixon's people were evil. But with Nixon gone,
they had no cover. That was among the reasons to get rid of
Nixon -- those fuckers couldn't work in the daylight.
AREFIN
THE MACHINE: What is your take on the religion? Are you
a religious person?
WARREN: I'm an atheist. In fact, I'm a Celebrity Atheist.
RICH:
And while this thread continues, Warren popped up in a Lying
In the Gutters thread
at the same time and added a few notes of his own on the current
state of the X-Men.
WARREN:
Well, I have extensively researched this, using Bit Torrent
to steal things. I mean using my credit card to give comics
shops vast amounts of money. Really.
ASTONISHING
X-MEN is by my good friends John Cassaday and Laura Martin
and Joss Whedon whom I met once and is a really nice bloke.
It has the X-Men in the pervert suits because the pervert
suits will make people like them. Joss is adapting well to
comics.
NEW X-MEN:
PAEDO ACADEMY has minors in pervert suits, and soon Evil Professor
X will turn up to give them psychic orgasms and make them
sit in his lap.
OLD X-MEN
is by Chris Claremont and Alan Davis who have come to show
the young people that all their music is crap and what you
really need is a bit of Mantovani or perhaps some skiffle
because it's got a good beat.
OTHER
X-MEN is by poor old Chuck Austen who never hurt nobody and
who used to do a comic called STRIP which was a funny porno
comic for teenagers. And it's got all the shitey X-Men characters
that no-one else wanted.
RICH:
See everyone? You feel sorry for him now don't you?
Warren
Ellis writes Ultimate Fantastic Four, Ultimate Nightmare,
Global Frequency, Planetary and has about three hundred new
comics about to hit. Find him every day at Die Puny Humans
and occasionally at Millarworld .
Rich Johnston steals things every week for Lying In Then Gutters
http://litg.comicbookresources.com. Thanks to all the fine
folk from Millarworld who've had their work plundered without
care or attention for this emergency capsule.
