Yeah this series is great. All the deaths sadden me, but knowing that it's not in any continuity and just a big ol flashy Ellis lark, makes it okay. So great! I still need to watch those last couple episodes.
I'm impressed by how much research Warren Ellis does for his projects. I remember reading that he'd never seen or really knew anything about G.I. Joe, and he goes and give us this, which has tons of nods to comic book and cartoon continuity. He's great. Love Warren Ellis.
