The Global Frequency: part two
Unfortunately, after issue three, the Global Frequency, for all intents and purposes has gone down hill. Instead of having the manic kickass pace and local threats of the first two issues mind-teleporting a-bombs and the 6 billion dollar killer, we got a killer alien meme that was stopped by the power of bisexual love (I'm not making this up), an issue with horrible pacing that involves two Australlians killing everyone in a dot-com cult and an issue where a an angel makes a small Russian village catatonic. I'm beginning to think that Warren Ellis has jumped the shark with his newest work. His last issue of the post-modern pastiache of 20th century pop culture themes, Planetary wasn't up to the high standards it started with. MEK his three part mini-series with Vancouver indie fave, Steve Rolston wasn't up to his usual snuff either. I'm not the only person that thinks that Ellis has lost his edge, comic rumour monger, Anthony Johnston agrees.

Hopefully, in the end, MEK and the last three issues of the Global Frequency were an all too infrequent mistep for Mr.Ellis. The next issue, a Run Lola Run-esque romp through London looks like something up my alley. And if it's not, it's only 13 issues. You can't lose with that.
