For those just joining me:

My name's Warren Ellis. I write comics and graphic novels, among other things. I've done quite a lot of them. I have several comics works floating around on the internet for free:

TRANSMETROPOLITAN: Another Cold Morning. | FELL: the first story. | JOHN CONSTANTINE, HELLBLAZER: Shoot. | SUPERIDOL.

I'm travelling: I'm at Heroes Con in North Carolina June 30-July 2, and at the Helsinki Comics Festival September 23-24. I'm expecting to be in NYC and LA on business this year, but nothing's confirmed yet.

These are the places you can find me on the internet. There's a fair few of them, too:



http://www.warrenellis.com/ is my main website: I post there several times a day. I mostly use it to dump research material, plug my friends and drop announcements and reminders about my work. Sometimes I post photos of my friends who are models and the traffic goes through the roof. It's pretty funny. Sometimes I post pictures of disgusting things I've found on the net, and people claw their eyes out. It's even funnier.

http://www.livejournal.com/users/warrenelliscom/ = LJ feed of warrenellis.com
http://www.livejournal.com/users/warrenelliswire/ = same as above plus feed from my photo storage



Bad Signal is my email journal. It's announcement-only style, which means you only get email from me, not the 9700 readers and counting who are on the list. I use it for thinking out loud. Sometimes you won't hear from me for a week. Sometimes you'll hear from me five times a day. Often I will be drunk. Sometimes I will be naked. People on Bad Signal tend to cry a lot.



http://www.myspace.com/warrenellis = I add anyone, me. I'm tempted to start a religion there, but Rupert Murdoch would come for me. And nobody needs that. In any way.

I've recently opened accounts at social network systems Subkultures (because the system looks interesting to me) and mynetspot (because someone asked me to).



http://www.flickr.com/people/warrenellis/ = where I store my photos. My friends-and-contacts list there is usually full of interesting stuff, as I know many mentally ill lovely people.


I run two online communities. The Engine is devoted to comics (and music and other stuff). Die Puny Humans is devoted to tracking outbreaks of the future. I have had no time to devote to them in over a month. I'm not even sure if one of them is still there.

http://www.bloglines.com/public/warrenellis = my daily reading list.

I don't use IM. I can most easily be found on warrene @ aol.com.

Would I be correct if I assume that mynetspot is simply a prettier MySpace?

Enjoy your time in LA. The weather is great here. Perfect for lounging around drunk and naked.

I hate LA with the heat of a thousand suns. I'm dreading the remote but distinct possibility of having to spend a couple of months there. It'll send me straight to the asylum.

Of course you do. Everyone hates LA. But having just come back from a month in the actual heat of a thousand suns, otherwise known as Texas, I have to say the climate here doesn't suck.

I still don't get how the hell you find time do do anything constructive when your online so much.

As a recent joiner to this community I wholeheartedly applaude and agree with the [insert subject in question] and thie new [insert new material]

You don't treat that goat properly.

Alberto's coming to visit in two days at current speed. Make sure you've got emergency kit and a way out, yes? And don't give me your Big Balls bullshit about how you can punch out a tropical storm with your left tit.

1. I can punch out a storm with my RIGHT NIPPLE... I don't need the whole tit. ;) Get it CORRECT.

2. Alberto is not going to go anywhere near where I am, nor will it even make Hurricane if it did. We worry at Cat 3... then NOLA might have some trouble (save for the blue roofs and trailers which must evacuate at Cat 1).

3. My contract states that I say in the case of a hurricane. I may leave on the last bus out if I so choose but I have already chosen to stay with the mayor and make sure communication stays up if it gets to that point.

4. You'd make a good emergency kit. Wanna come visit? Hell, you don't seem like you are going to be that far away from me. Maybe I should take a weekend where you are as oppose to back to Chicago for once.

5. No, I don't treat the goat properly. After that night with you, Nanny (the goat) just doesn't look at me with the same eyes anymore. Sad, really.

1. Yeah, I forgot you started working out again.

2. Two days out, you don't have a fucking clue where Alberto's going to hit if it hits, so don't fuck with me on this.

3. I should cut your tits off. If I end up having to bury more girls this year, I'm making damn sure you go in your grave wearing a t-shirt reading I WAS PEE WEE HERMAN'S SUBBIE BITCH.

4. Florida is not supposed to be occupied by humans. No way in hell you're getting me down there at the start of WEATHER SMASH PUNY YANQUI season.

If the NYC trip happens, I'll let you know.

5. No-one is ever the same after a night with me.

1. Yes

2. It doesn't matter- Alberto is a limp cock. Nothing to worry about from him. Later maybe... not him.

3. Don't worry. I may go before you but I promise you, my time isn't this year. That much I do know.

4. I am not in Florida but I might be if they get hit.

NYC might be doable.

5. So I have read on many a bathroom stall door.

Find some time for sleep, somewhere in there.

It's hot as hell in Texas, and I've been prancing around in my bikini for most of the weekend, because my goddamn air conditioning is out. Again.

I've been shitty about writing, lately. You'll probably hear from me before bed.

thank you for the link to Another Cold Morning... it had been a while; I had to leave my Transmets behind when I left the country and haven't been able to afford getting them shipped yet... you do good work, sir.

No, no. I'm trying to mold them into better filthy monkeys. Ok, so the ones that don't bend might get broken a leetle bit -- but that's probably not entirely my fault.

See, that right there is why we should probably never interact other than online. There's a lethal dose of efficiency there that I'm pretty sure the world isn't up for.

You are a whore for the internet.


I think it's cool you linked to free scans of your work. Most comic artists get pissy bout that. I mentioned reading She-Hulk online and Dan Slott personally came to my livejournal and bitchslapped me. True story.

Who needs to be 'dealt with' in order for you to make it through the moderately-climated (is that a proper word) Denver? We need more people coming here,like you, corrupting our minds. Especially our youth!

Outbreaks of the future? Is that when you're walking down the street and suddenly it's all future-y all around you? Like, everyone looks all sleek and stuff is on hovercarts and possibly there are killer robots?

I think I would have to run away if that happened.

Geeze. You live on the internet don't you? I have enough trouble with LiveJournal, can't imagine attempting to blog on a thousand more sites.

About the religion thing: go for it.

It's always been a dream of mine to start my own cult, but perhaps I can watch you do it first and learn from your mistakes and successes...

There are a couple still at DPH, though if I remember rightly, there isn't much future spotting, more religious discussions, or am I being unfair to them?

The best comic you ever wrote was the Solar Man of the Atom one-shot for Acclaim comics. I think everyone needs to read that!

I got into an online discussion about cryogenic brain storage a few weeks back. Halfway through, two people simultaneously (close enough that I bet neither had seen the other's post) brought up that particular issue of Transmet. One of them showed it as an argument in favor of cryostorage - the other one was demonstrating it as an argument against. Both of them, of course, claimed that their argument was the one you were trying to make.

People are funny.

you're awesome. I never heard of Bloglines, and after looking at yours, I have created one and have my own interested news links. Yeah... an easy way to keep on top of things.
