I am a notorious dilettante when it comes to maintaining my celebrity feuds.

Yeah, I mostly just hate him. I guess I'm a little more dedicated to this than you are, buddy.

Well, look, for all my bluster, I like Warren Ellis. I enjoy reading his books, I gave my dad Crecy for Christmas and that was a blast. I just also hate Warren Ellis.

As you have probably seen me mention on io9, Warren Ellis’s critical and popular accolades tend to enrage me, so hey, I’m in your corner. You got that. For what that’s worth.

That is the story of my life: too tall to be a midget, not tall enough to be Warren Ellis.

Yeah, the extended description of AM was a bit…familiar, having read your book. But I’m afraid there are two very simple reasons Ellis’s book wins out (other than his already being an established writer): it is shorter, and it is illustrated.

Everybody loves things that are short and illustrated. That’s why tattooed midgets are so popular.
