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.

And don't forget all the women being ninjas or whores. Or both. Yes well, Miller. He gets a pass because AFAICT, he has some sort of brain tumor or something so he really can't write anything else. He's like the dirty guy on the street corner, scratching his unkempt beard while constantly yelling "Whores! Hoooores!"

Just take pity on the guy, and keep buying his books.

(see? You think I was being mean to Ellis? I actually like his stuff, in spite of my criticism.)
