I very much enjoyed FI and SS. Quit City -- well, I _would_ have liked it if it were actually the first issue of a series. As a standalone, there's not enough story.
And as for Angel Stomp Future: It was too gimmicky. The punchline was good, but the rest was weak. Plus too much 4th-wall breakage. It would make a good 5-page short.
I also enjoy Ellis' UF4. I think the characterization is a little too simplistic (it's much more black-and-white in terms of whose fault the original accident(s) is/are), but very enjoyable nonetheless.
Other titles: Phil Foglio's Girl Genius -- even tho he apparently comes out with like 2 issues a *year*. Planetary (can you tell that I like Ellis?). The Scars TPB.
I agree (AKA "Me too!")
