I just brought all of planetary out to cow town to re-read. I love Planatary. It's very, very slow though. Especially if you were like me and read it in floppies. Ugh.

Freakangels is Ellis's Webcomic, one of the few things by him I haven't read. It is supposed to be a success online though.

Red is a good 3 issue story about a retired CIA agent who gets screwed by the government.
Jack Cross is about a fix-it guy working for the government, same kind of feel as Red.
NextWAVE is a 12 issue series done for Marvel that is pure ridiculous, unadulterated, win. The same kind of ridiculous as Transmet, but done for a mainstream publisher, so tamer.

Anna Mercury was weird for me, and not that enjoyable. Doktor sleepless seems to be Ellis taking all the weird stuff he picks up on the internet and turning it into a comic.

Oh, and Ministry of Space is another Sci-Fi comic, different from Ignition City, worth trying though.

I remember really enjoying it.
