Freakangels is my favourite, story and characters are really the best, and the beautiful art of Paul (Get well soon, Paul) makes Freakangels a comic masterpiece.
I must say the second favourite is "Fell": Feral City is a magnificently portrayed evil-town,and Fell has some, might I say freakangelic quality? He's gentle, subtle, strong but you can sense an inner vulnerability. Kaitlyn would have liked him. and obviously, Fell has some dark secret we are yet to know (the flawed hero with something to hide and/or to atone for seems a recurring feature in Ellis's stories, see also Eljah Snow in Planetary).I quite loved Crooked Little Vein, its satire and the corrosive humour, not to mention the description of sexual practices that would have made poor Karl scream in horror: "Aauggh! Too much information! Arkady, erase my memory. please!" I love the characters of the protagonit and Trix.
I've yet to read "Transmetropolitan"but I will. -

I just read for the first time the Solar story Ellis and Robertson did together a while back. I gotta say, I loved the hell out of it. It actually rates pretty damn high on my favorite Ellis stories.
Doc Sleepless and SuperGod are my preferred works by Ellis. I know most will say Transmet and while Transmet is about as perfect as you get (the writing is superb and the art is glorious, Darick Robertson is a God) but for where I am in my life and what I am thinking about: Doc Sleepless and SuperGod are it. -

His run on Stormwatch was what originally got me into Warren's work, so that will always hold a special place in my heart. I also really enjoy Transmetropolitan, Planetary, The Authority, and Black Summer. Those are usually my go to books when i'm trying to get someone to read comics who usually doesn't. -
-
Transmetropolitan is my preferred work, followed by Orbiter, and then Fell and Doc Sleepless. And Crecy, not to forget that. And I'll stop there just so it doesn't turn into too much of a love fest.
But Transmet. Yeah. Perfect. -

Transmet, the good Doktor, Planentary, FA, the Authority and Supergod. In that order. I feel Warren's storytelling works better in long forms rather than short closed forms (although Orbiter, Red, Crecy etc are also totally awesome). -

Transmet
Crooked Little Vein
Planetary
Lazarus Churchyard -
definetely Global Frequency, Planetary, Supergod, Doktor Sleepless and Ministry of Space.
I love the line "you're on global frequency." -
Planetary and Global Frequency are pretty high up there. Perhaps a couple of his Avatar one-shots as well, such as Aetheric Mechanics and Frankenstein's Womb. Favorite works-for-hire include Iron Man and Thunderbolts.
-
Desolation Jones, Fell and Planetary for me.
-
Global Frequency, without question, is my favorite. I've enjoyed everything Ellis I've read, and Ignition City hit some pretty great buttons for me, but Global Frequency really took up some prime space in my head.

Right now, I'd say Supergod. Which is pretty much what I deserve for thinking it'd be rather dull and nothing I'd like before it came out. -
-
FICTION:
1) Frankenstein's Womb
2) Transmetropolitan
3) Planetary
4) Hellblazer (Haunted, especially)
5) Dark Blue
OTHER:
1) Come in Alone
2) Do Anything
3) Bad Signal -

pffft
his work's all been rubbish since the neck vagina. I think that was on his Ultimate FF run?
MORE NECK VAGINA -
-
Actually, I prefer Shivering Sands, and The Bad Signal. Cranky, theory-testing sleep and drug deprived Warren in my ear at night is the one I like best. His twitter, too, while we're along that vein.
Global Frequency was brilliant, though. -

Bad World and Crooked Little Vein. And Transmet. And Crecy. And ... seriously, it'd be shorter to list things you DIDN'T love by Warren.
... I got nothing but apparently, folks are crying out for more neck vagina so ... -
-
Transmetropolitan
Lazarus Churchyard (which I feel is a great prelude to Transmet)
Global Frequency
his Thunderbolts run
Fell
all of the Apparat Singles Group releases
...yeah, I'm going with Hex. It'd be a shorter list if it was the stuff I didn't like from that supernatural love swamii. -

I like all/most of Mr. Ellis's stuff, but there is a special, warm, decrepit and uncomfortable place in my heart for TRANSMETROPOLITAN, which convinced me that my interest in comics was more than just a vain attempt to relive childhood. -

Approximately in order:
Extremis - the motion comic version
Planetary
Global Frequency
Transmet
Black Summer - the opening pages were a wonderful catharsis
