Warren Ellis (writer), Garry Leach (artist)
Global Frequency #1
Wildstorm, DC Comics, 2002
I’d call this the quintessential Warren Ellis series, blending his approaches to storytelling (in structure, this is a precursor to Planetary), dialogue, characters, technology, style, suspense, and the need for hard decisions and sacrifice.
