I really liked this series back in the day. I actually read this before I read Marvels. I’ve been meaning to solicit the insight of the iFanboy trio on this title. I hope it gets some time in an upcoming show.
I’m warning you! This is the worst thing crafted by human hands! You will try to drink yourself to death Wednesday night. 26 of you, as of this writing, are about to walk into a trap. You are paying $5 to be punched in the soul.
I loved your bit on this book, Jimski. I almost want to read it just to see what could have jaded you so, but I would much rather enjoy my comic books.
I’ve been wanting to read this for a LONG time now and never got around to tracking down the back issues. Very excited to be getting them in one book for only 5 bucks. Ellis + "horrific events" = pick of the week.
After reading Jimski’s review of this book, I (illegally) downloaded it and read it.
I don’t think it’s the worst thing ever written, but it’s not particularly good. The story is mostly incoherent (though still easier to understand than Elektra) and the art is annoying. I think the idea was worthwhile, though.
Ultimately, though, it’s not worth paying for. I’m glad I didn’t. Thievery FTW.
Wooo, can’t wait to crack this open. What I find funny is that everything I hear explainging why people dislike this just makes me want to read it even more.

"Collecting Ruins #1-2"?
Is this a reprint of a book from back in the day?
Well it’s $4.99 so I guess it is. I’ll flip through it at the store.
@Harper: Yes.
Is Jimski picking this up?
So this collects the whole thing? For only 5 bucks?
Hmm….might give it a shot if it’s that cheap.

I read this first time round. It made me feel dirty and ill but in a good way.
65 pulls?!
Do you have any idea what I could do with #325?
@jimski – What’s #325?
I didn’t like it the first time… I will certainly skip it this time.

Yeah what’s #325?
Damn, Jimski was right. This was dreadful.
This was miserable.
This was AWESOME!!! Some of the best Ellis I have ever read.
