This has been blogged a lot already of course but I thought I'd link to it here as well. Warren Ellis has a weblog called die puny humans. As you may know Mr. Ellis is responsible for, among other characters, Jenny Sparks, my favorite comic book heroine after Halo Jones. I don't think the Jenny Sparks link does her justice but it's the best I could find. The quote I won't wear one of those damfool spandex body-condom things. I don't have the bust for it. gives a flavor for her character. Myself, I slightly prefer Halo Jones, as I've said before, because, well I supose because of how ordinary she is. At one point a character says of her She wasn't that brave, or that clever, or that strong. She was just somebody who felt cramped by the confines of her life. She was just somebody who had to get out. And she did it!

Back to Warren. Personally I'm eagerly waiting for the final installment of Ministry of Space. The first two episodes were an excellent, briefly sketched, alternative history of space flight. How will it be resolved, or not resolved in the final episode.
