I have chosen Warren Ellis as my hero for many reason, however, the most relevant being that his concept of humanity's existence in many potential situations has inspired new questions for me to ask. Examples of this come from a wide variety of his comics and books such as Transmetropolitan (an interesting look at the future of human kind), Crooked Little Vein (an intriguing look at human sexuality and societal views of such), and Freak Angels (a great look at humanity in leu of global disaster).
I am currently following Warren Ellis' twitter post online and have them beamed directly to my cell phone. He also has a great blog at
http://www.warrenellis.com/ where he delves into any topic that interests him and, like any good social networking junkie, I am following his account on facebook. I have made many attempts to contact him through twitter and facebook and even a few responses, albeit superficial.
Warren Ellis is a true artist, in my opinion, he is one of the best social commentary writers of the 21st century and conveys his ideas in a way that are entertaining and extremely effective. His imagery is second to none and the world would benefit from more writers with his depth.
