None of you seem to understand, I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me..
I'm really excited about this one, I walked into a bookshop that sells some comics (the vouchers were for books). I intended to buy the Big Damn Sin City, but it was sold out. I then found Planetary for 60 euros (shrinkwrapped and all) and threw all my vouchers at him lol!

Got it, really liked Authority, at least first HC, second one is kinda boring and cliche. Would like to get Ultimates omni but it's too expensive.
EDIT:
My friend has just bought me 13 issues of XIII, all in HC, polish editions, for 30 quid. Another series to collect, 20th will be published soon.

I didn't say it's important, it's just one of my favourites. There is something in Ellis' writing that just works for me (at least his greatest hits like Planetary, Authority, Transmetro, etc...) But I would say it is important as a loveletter to the 20th century popculture. It is well written, clever, beautifully illustrated and the storytelling is excellent too. It is also a book that you could give to anybody and say "read this and you will understand why I love comics". I think it's even better for that purpose than Watchmen because it's truly a celebration of the medium and not a deconstruction of a genre.
But you could argue that Fear Agent is even less important and I would still put it next to Watchmen because it's just a really awesome story that I could read again and again and also recommend to anybody who loves some science fiction.
