I'm not sure if Ellis wrote this series before or after his stint on the Constantine franchise, but the similarities are pretty obvious. Fell is more of a regular police detective, but add in some supernatural elements, and he and Constantine could be brothers. Chances are that's why the series dead-ended after this run, but I did rather enjoy it. Ellis is really good at getting down to the grittier aspects of crime and police work, and he's not half bad at character development either.
It’s concentrated Ellis, with everything he’s made his name on: the taciturn outsider who works to bring justice and only sometimes succeeds; the brilliant but broken woman who cares for him; the fascination with the extreme things humans do to themselves and others. Tilhører serienFell (Volume 1)
Detective Richard Fell is transferred over the bridge from the big city to Snowtown, a feral district whose police investigations department numbers three and a half people (one detective has no legs). Dumped in this collapsing urban trashzone, Richard Fell is starting all over again. In a place where nothing seems to make any sense, Fell clings to the one thing he knows to be true: Everybody's hiding something. Ingen biblioteksbeskrivelser fundet. |

But, of course, the biggest star here is the now-tarnished one of Warren Ellis. I know I say this in damn near every review of his work, but man, this guy is a talented storytelling and wordsmith.
And this short series does nothing to change my mind about that. There's very few characters populating this one, but it's essentially NYPD Blue, if that show was focused on a single cop and the city was FAR darker and more gritty.
The less said about this prior to reading it, the better. Just...read it. ( )
