I like Ennis and Burrows' art so this is going to go on my list of stuff to read.

Burrows did not do Transmet, that was pencilled by Darrick Robertson and inked by Rodney Ramos.

>Transmetropolitan: Filth of the City (with Warren Ellis, Vertigo, 2001) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacen_Burrows

>>1533
You're a cunt. Transmet was a 60-issue series, pencilled by Darick Robertson, and inked for the most part by Rodney Ramos, though there were others. There were a couple of issues and spin-offs that had art by other people, one of which was indeed Filth of The City (which featured art by a number of guest artists). Burrows contributed a single double-page spread in a special spin-off of the series - he did not "do" Transmet, and to pretend otherwise is pathetic. Burrows did Bad World, he did other Avatar stuff with Ellis, and he's a damn good artist, but he did not "do" Transmetropolitan.
Now fuck off.

>>1534
haha, love it.

>>1534
And here is that double page spread. I've never read Transmetropolitan but this Filth of the City special makes me want to give it a go. Each double page or so has a newspaper clipping illustrated by someone new each time. Some of the news clippings are quite tantalising.

>>1536
Read it, it's a great series. The clippings are extracts from the protagonist's newspaper column, in case you were wondering.

>>1538
ah, that explains it

I read the first 4 issues of Crossed yesterday, it reminds me of Walking Dead a bit. Its got the dark sense of humour thats expected with Garth Ennis, which makes it different enough from Walking Dead to keep me interested.

>>1534

OP here. I just found Transmet on his biblio list or something, that's all. It doesn't really matter, point is he's not a bad artist.

I did have quite a bit of Crossed saved that I was going to read, but I forgot to transfer my comics folder from my old laptop to my new one when I let my gf have my old one, then my gf vaped the vista I had on my old one so she could have XP on it. Then XP didn't work properly so she got a copy of vista and installed that...
I'm still in the process of reconstructing my comics folder...

I just got the 5th one today, I was sorely diappointed, since its a backstory/filler comic. Even more so because its bi-monthly I've had t wait ages for it.

>>1619

The blind girl is kind of hot though.

I like anything with the fast zombies in, could we have less talking and more uploading, please?

>more uploading, please?
^AmateurTIP: check rs.4chan.org first, especially if it's a mainstream comic from the last couple of years. http://rs.4chan.org/?s=crossed

>>1623

They're not so much fast zombies as utter psychopaths

>>1625

I've avoided that place like the plague for the past few years, but now I find there is something useful. Ta very much, both >>1625 and>>1624.

I've just started reading the first issue. Jesus Christ the artwork is terrible!

Oh man, it's not great by any means, but it certainly is an interesting take on the genre.

I'm getting annoyed with this series, since its bi-monthly and yet the comics are incredibly short. I read them and think is that it?

It is odd. I can understand why something like The Ultimates would have a sporadic release, due purely to the amount of work that goes into the thing, but the artwork on Crossed is horrible, and the colouring looks like they hired some random arsehole off Deviantart to quickly fill it in during his lunchbreak. It really shouldn't take too long.

I honestly thought what Avatar had done was take some early Garth Ennis script, written back when he was a fourteen year old who wanted to be a comic book writer when he grew up - and then gave the script to the cheapest artists they could find. I thought this was a very cynical money for old rope deal, but I'm so, so surprised that this isn't the case.

>>1717
I don't mind the artwork, if it was Rob Liefeld then I could see cause for complaint. I know its not great art by any means, not everyone can be Jim Lee or Alex Ross. It's certainly more than serviceable at least everyone looks different and unique, rather than with some comic book artists who only seem to be only do one type of female face for example.

My biggest complaint is why is it a bi-monthyl when the stories are so short, it could easily be released as a monthly comic, just give the artist time to get ahead on the art.

Oh it's certainly not Liefeld bad, but it's the kind of standard I'd expect from a webcomic or self-published thing, not really up to a professional standard; maybe that's why it's taking the guy so long to draw it.

fucking periodical stories. THIS IS WHY I BUY VOLUMES AND NOT SINGLE ISSUES

Mediafire link for those of us on Uni networks where RS never works

I am I the only one that thinks this is downright nonsense? He's got this idea in his head that this story isn't going to be the same as every other horror story; theres not going to be any convenient or fortuitous events to help everyone out. Theres no lucky escapes. He's quite keen to point this out in every issue.

So instead... every issue is filled with these silly two-dimensional characters being tortured, because that's realistic. They might as well all give the reader a little nod and a wink because this is all so self-conscious.

>>2209

I've not enjoyed what little I have seen. I am not a fan of gore and attempts to shock just for the sake of it.

>>2210

lol, well yeah, you're not going to enjoy this then. Theres something very adolescent about it all.

>>2211
You could say that about a lot of Garth Ennis' writing though.

I just binged on every issue to date, and I think it's rather fun.

It's no Walking Dead though and I'm not sure I'd pay money for it.

Oh, and it's very similar to Ellis' Blackgas, which I felt pretty much the same about.

I read one and hated it. Not my thing.

Here's the new shitty, shitty episode. It's like they've made a comic book based entire on the text-book doodles of a socially inept 14 year-old.

Well, thanks for the link, but on the strength of your review I think I'll leave it.

>>2696
rapidshare is fucking useless

>>2698
Which file hosting thingamy do you prefer, out of interest? Since I always just use my rapidshare premium account I have no idea which free service is the best. Tell me which is the best. _{(and if you say "meh, anything but fucking rapidshare" I will reach through the screen and strangle your moody teenage neck)}

>>2699
mediafire's usually pretty good, but there are so many others that work equally well as their servers aren't constantly unusable from high traffic.

upload to all at once, stop every cunt complaining.

I'm the one who posted the link, I'm not the one who uploaded it however. I can't be fucked to upload it to another site. If you're not willing to wait around for Rapidshare, don't expect other people to do it for you, and then take the extra time to upload it somewhere else.

Calm down dear, it's only a comic.

This is the ninth and final issue: http://rapidshare.com/files/360060341/crossed_09.cbr

and this is a collection of all of them: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=i7my1ls6

I understand what he's trying to do, but he's not very good at doing it.

>>2766
Cheers. I'll have a read.
