It's one of the funniest books I've ever read. It's a riot from beginning to end. A South Central LA, TV vandalizing, car-turning over, beating the head in of a truck driver, riot. It doesn't waste time with complex character development or "will they or wont they hook up" gushfests or big mindblowing plots or Silver Age nostalgia field trips. It's about over-the-top action, brilliant gags, and batshit insanity.
The gags are hilarious, but they aren't predictable and come out of no where like sniper shot to the head. That's what makes the humor so refreshing. It's a parody and satire, sure. But it's also an homage to the old style Marvel comics that I love that used to embrace this type of daffiness unapologetically. It's silly, it's geeky, and it's a pure joy for anyone who loved the light-hearted fun that Marvel comics used to be all about. So naturally they axed it after two arcs and put it in a non-canon universe.
This is really the only Warren Ellis work I've ever read, so I'm not that familiar either. He's currently writing some X-Men book, but since I avoid those books like the plague I couldn't tell you if it's good or not.
But seriously, buy both volumes. It will make you a better person and improve your sex life. Well.....maybe not the first one.
If you don't believe me, believe this:
ELIVS M.O.D.O.K.'S AND SADOMASOCIST IRON MANZ MIGETZ!

Woah! Where the fuck did this come from?! The link at the bottom takes me to the forthcoming animated movie.
Batman, Superman, Green Lantern.
A few years ago I read a Green Lantern novel written by Dennis O'Neil called Hero's Quest, and for some time after that, Kyle Rainer's GL was my favourite.
But yeah, Bats, Supes and GL are the big three.
Silver Surfer and Doc Strange are up there too.

I'm going to go with Dick Grayson (be he Robin, Nightwing, or Flash), Superman, Green Lantern (Alan, Hal, Jon, or even Kyle), Spider-man, Donna Troy (even though...), Barbara Gordon (Oracle or Batgirl), Flash (I actually prefer Wally, with Jay a close second), Lightning Lad, Dr. Fate (although more for potential), and the amazing Elongated Man.
