I think it gets a lot better as it goes along but I don't think it's his best work. Still, I give it credit for failing boldly, and I would still call it a must read.

I'm more partial to Transmetropolitan. I still find Planetary grapples with such big ideas about pulp heroes that I love it, though. Imperfect but ambitiously so

Transmet has a special place in my heart, but I'm not sure how much of that is due to it being one of the first comics I really liked

except maybe Ellis's run on Doom 2099, which i'm certain awakened a deep hunger that Transmet was precisely the right thing to feed

If you liked Transmet, I'd like to recommend DMZ. It is also ~topical~ despite being over a decade old.
