A question I have after reading "Freakangels"

[roseembolism]

Is Warren Ellis capable of writing any character that's NOT an asshole?

I mean seriously, as far as I can tell, the standard Warrren Ellis character is a massive jerk (add breasts for female, penis for male), who's attitude is supposedly tolerable solely because they are always right. I mean, constantly, totally, utterly right. Even when they admit that they have no idea what they are doing, they are completely right.

Tell me people- has he ever done a character that doesn't sound like a gamer pundit on usenet, circa 1995? Inquiring minds want to know.

That’s a pretty mild one, too; that particular subject line is one he regularly uses when linking to BMEzine. I suppose if I actually experienced cognitive dissonance when learning about things like macroherpetophilia (don’t google that term unless you want to learn about new extremes of human behavior), I would avoid Ellis’ blog, but I’m sufficiently jaded that I’m mostly just amused.
