Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 2003 three-part comic miniseries written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti, Two-Step is the story of Rosi Blades, jaded walking webcam, and Tony Ling, freelance black market agent with an interest in Zen philosophy. The two meet in an alternate present London and embark on the chase of a lifetime down the crowded streets of the city, instigating trouble with the notorious Quarry gang, studying the philosophical underpinnings of human flight, and narrowly evading an encounter with a particularly horrible destiny by riding a Vespa down a hundred-story building. It could be all in a day's work, if that's the sort of work you're into.The series was finally collected, along with original artwork and Warren Ellis' script, in November 2010, and is published by WildStorm.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Warning: Unmarked spoilers below.

comment
Out with a Bang: Ron's utility. An absolute madman who the Quarry gang uses as a terror weapon; specifically, he can somehow make sports cars explode by fucking them. The hardware in his head enables the Quarry gang to aim him at people they want to kill extremely messily, by making him think they are sports cars.

Electronic Eyes: Rosi has her eyecam, which she can use to hack other people's electronic eyes. ...such as Ron's, which gives him Meat-O-Vision — err, "Sports Car-O-Vision".

Gag Penis: The Quarry gang have a pathological need to be the most well-endowed gang in London. Even if it means getting their "equipment" specially made to be the size of a large brass instrument that plays Ride of the Valkyries when aroused.

Extra bonus points; Rosi points out this is all Cool, but Stupid, but goes along with it anyway because no matter what happens, it's going to be awesome.

Hoist by His Own Petard: Reg Quarry sets Ron the car-fucker on Rosi and Tony, programming his headware to make the lunatic think the duo are dead-sexy sports cars. Rosi hacks his headware so they look human and the Quarries look like sports cars. Boom.
