I just noticed that the author is Warren Ellis.

Nothing gets done till I read everything so far.
You know that's in print, right?

You mean...people make books of things from the internet?
I just shat my pance.
:( Well, I didn't know it was a webcomic. I just knew Dok bought the series.

:( It was meant as a joke. This is one the webcomics I have been seriously thinking about buying in print.
This is a seriously good title. Nice one, Kernel. I just got "The Authority" from a charity shop last week for 80p, and Garth Ennis's "303" stunningly drawn by Jacen Burrows. . . for a quid! That's a wicked 90 minutes you'll never regret as wasted in any way shape or form. A good comic makes you feel much richer when you finish it. And I felt like a wealthy dude after I'd read that. Sweet as a nut, Cheers for this. Bye now.
I'm going to wait the six weeks or so it has left before I read every issue, rather then waiting on four pages from week to week.
I just read the lot, took me about 5 hours, and most of my download allowance, and it totally blew me away. It's not often I come across a comic that does that. (Jaded old bastard that I am) Most titles of this length go through changes in the writer/artist team, usually due to contractual commitments, but this stayed with Ellis and Duffield all the way. I've read some Warren Ellis before, (Transmetropolitan, Hellblazer, The Authority) but this has cemented him firmly up there in my top maybe 12 comic writers. Great stuff.
Afterthought; I really hate people who dismiss comics as some lesser form of writing, and beneath their consideration as "Serious Literature".
