Warren Ellis impersonates Alan Moore (SLYT audio only)
Every time I see the Bad Seeds/Grinderman I'm struck by how much their Warren Ellis looks like Alan Moore, at least in beard length

He's just feeling cocky because he's pretty sure that nobody will ever actually make Transmetropolitan into a movie.

An Evening With Warren Ellis
I love Alan, but I haven’t spoken to him in years because I haven’t got that much time in the day. Alan speaks very slowly, and when he’s got you on the phone you’re kind of a captive audience.posted by homunculus at 2:52 PM on March 10, 2011 [22 favorites]
Alan did a convention once in the states and his signing queue followed him into the bathroom.
The first time I went to Iceland I spoke at the university there, had a fantastic time. And they said ‘Do you by any chance know Alan Moore? We’d love to have him as a followup visit to you.’
So I rang up Alan and said, ‘If you’d like, I got you an all-expenses paid trip to Iceland, it was brilliant.’
And he said, ‘I don’t really leave Northampton much. In fact, I don’t really leave the house. In fact, I don’t really leave the living room, and truth be told, I stay on this side of the living room. The other side of the living room is a strange and different place, and it scares me.’”
Excellent use of the "Glycon" tag.

It's a real shame Mr. Moore seems to have no real interest in comics any more, it would have been interesting to see where he went next (note: I don't consider Neonomicon an Alan Moore comic and in fact suspect it is being written by somebody else - the guy who gave us such amazing stories as Halo Jones and Swamp Thing doing weird tentacle rape stuff just doesn't sit comfortably within my perception of the world).

Sure, just like death metal is what music is going to be from now on and from this point forward all movies are going to be just like Saw. No. Absolutely not. No. I don't think these comics are anything like all that popular; I think they're popular for Avatar, the same way that a lot of basic cable series are popular for their networks but would be disasters for the big four. That said, I can't speak to any of the spinoff series, but the original Crossed GN is very good if you're a horror fan who doesn't mind it when things get graphic. I'd rate it miles ahead of The Walking Dead, personally (and I like The Walking Dead).

Look, I'll admit that a few of the ideas that were skirted over in the first trade (the bit with the protagonist and the wolves) were good, but they weren't developed, and now it's just all babies eating their mums and dicks flying through the air, and the second idea was done better by Rob Liefeld and the first part was done better by spiders.

I just started reading comics in the last year and have a lot to catch up on. My favorites so far have been Watchmen, From Hell and Planetary. Parts of Swamp Thing and The Sandman have been pretty great, and I enjoyed Astro City, The Authority and a couple others but I keep chasing that feeling I got reading those three series.

Forget about ever catching up, unless you work in a comic shop.
I really enjoyed most of the Mignola Hellboy series, especially the ones with Richard Corben. Two earlier Grant Morrison series - The Filth and Seven Soldiers, just because the whole setup is so strange. It sounds like you might be headed for some of the older Garth Ennis series - his Hellblazer stuff was fun, and I really enjoyed The Boys and Preacher.
I hated Crossed too. Vacuous drivel, but the guy at our comic shop said, "Well, gore is important - that sells books."
Sadly, my comics budget got slashed with the cutbacks...

I have to provide a cautionary note to Zed's Invisibles rec, although I, too, think you will like it a lot. The first arc is incredible and brilliant, and then the next one ("Arcadia") is...
...not quite congruent to anything you just saw in that awesome first arc, difficult to get into, and just a hard sell all around. Stick with it; the arc is somewhat important to later goings-on and the book improves past that "what is THIS" moment.
I would also recommend you at least try Jonathan Hickman's creator-owned work, like Transhuman, Pax Romana, and A Red Mass for Mars. You may find something to like there; Hickman is consistently inventive and the visual development of his books is like nothing else out there.

I kinda think this is backward, myself...the first arc is (now) kind of sullied and too-familiar-seeming after The Matrix (though there is also a key scene in Arcadia that the Wachowskis bit for their movie), and may seem a little meandering and obscure, not to mention depressing, and just plain...'90s. Whereas Arcadia is a crazy adventure that spans time and space and has shooting and punching and demons in it! I can't say whether that was a crowd-pleaser, but it certainly should have been.

"Arcadia" was pretty much the plotline that nearly sank the book and led to the Wankathon Working-- issue 7's rape references were a bit much for a lot of people... *hits Comichron*... yeah, Invisibles 7 was #144 on the Top 300 for January 1995, and then it suddenly vanishes from the Diamond Top 300 entire the next month.
I realize those figures are for preorder and whatnot-- the cover date on issue 7 is March 1995-- but it certainly seems like that part of Arcadia did Morrison no sales favors, however faithful to the tenor of the main historical figure's proclivities it might have been. (I'm trying not to spoil for Ad Hominem's sake.)

Ah, okay -- I actually figured it was the one-shots after Arcadia that imperiled the series (I dug them, but they did bring the overarching story to a halt for several months right at a point where things had been coming together). ...Come to think of it, though writing for the trade was largely uninvented at that point, the entirety of Vol. 1 probably reads a lot better without the occasionally epic waits between issues. For a book as manic as it usually was, the rate of plot progression tended toward the glacial.

I like the idea of having pull items at a comic shop. But then I look at the six-fifty cover price and I balk. Plus comics these days is shite. Books created in Photoshop, regardless of how good the writing might be, might look realistic, but they don't look like comics. There's no craft to them, no colour, no depth, no smudge, no life. And glossy paper? Fuck's up with that?

I wouldn't recommend it to someone who hasn't absorbed an unhealthy amount of preexisting continuity, but Hickman's SHIELD series at Marvel is actually pretty awesome -- it manages to be both crazy-coconuts and kind of fitting at the same time. Like, of course a period-appropriate Moon Knight, Apocalypse, and the guy who'd become the Living Mummy repelled a Brood invasion in pre-dynastic Egypt. Duh.
