That is probably my favorite thing he has ever written. Great episode. That was one great episode. I loved the ending where the atom had to give the machine a "heart attack" to defeat it. And professor Palmer's introduction was fantastic. He was in the miniature world wrestling a tapeworm I think. "This is Batman. I need air support. Because I can't fly. At all." Loved that episode. |

I finally decided to give Authority a go. I enjoyed it well enough, but it was entirely underwhelming. I picked up a trade with 3 story arcs. In each, some threat starts destroying major cities and the Authority stops them. Your basic superhero fare.
It is the same reaction I had to a good bulk of Ellis' catalogue.

I guess reading them now would feel that way, but back around '99 or so, I was completely buzzed about The Authority.
Ellis is solid, even though over-hyped often, but I still dearly love that franchise.
He did good.

Wonder Woman: "I need both hands professor Palmer." And The Atom proceeds to have the best seat of any flight ever in history! |

Ellis has really impressed me on Dynamite's James Bond book.
If the rest of this second arc continues to be as good as the first part was, I may have to rethink my Transmet vote.

I'm slowly picking up the Transmetropolitan collections when I see them cheap anywhwere, but have quite a few to go still.
I was planning to buy that first James Bond collection when it comes out in a few months but I see it's hardcover. Is it usually guaranteed that a softcover version will eventually follow, or do they sometimes just publish the hardcover and leave it at that?

I'd have to guess it might be a bit of a wait for a softcover version.
I'm sure Dynamite will milk it for a while.
