I’ve delayed reading Warren Ellis‘ Crooked Little Vein for some reason. Personally, I think it’s because he comes to Phoenix to sign his Black Summer comic book on the largest downpour of water I’ve ever seen in my fraggin 8 years of living in this outer circle of hell.

Ha, vengeance is mine! Take that, you published author!

Anyways, I’m on page 57 now and I demand my leagues of zombie adventurers (all 2 of you) to go buy the book. More importantly, read the fucking thing. By page two I was laughing at the rat & coffee cup, but there I was, in my way-too-cool coffee haus when I read “People who want to fuck Godzilla” made me snort my caffeine into my sinuses. Which then lead me to meeting a beautiful girl who wants to be a SuicideGirl model. We’ve been brainstorming her SG name while I write this.

So, Warren Ellis has my vote for the next pope, and I’ll pay for all of his cellphone-fetish crack hos the next time he comes to town.

It’s gonna be out in paperback eventually, so you don’t have to spend a ungodly amount.
