A note to an artist from Warren Ellis using the word "fuck" in the all-ages issue of Marvel Spotlight caused understandable retailer concern and returnability And of course the recent Punisher MAX comic saw Valerie D'Orazio cunting away like there's no tomorrow. But… just how offensive is the word "shit" these days? Let's find out. Of course,[...]

Warren Ellis and Chris Weston's Ministry Of Space is a clear reimagining of the concepts around Dan Dare in light of modern sensibilities. I do hope they give him a prosthetic chin And CGI eyebrows.

Warren calls it "Not steampunk An Electrical Romance of a Pirate Utopia Thwarted." Yes, that is the real title And yes this is a real preview And yes it is a[...]

See if there's a pattern. Actions that saw Alan Moore pull his last remaining work and co-operation from the company – and even at the end saw officials ignore their own legal advice over what they could and could not publish, leading to damaged and weakened comic product. The firing of Scott Dunbier, the creator of the[...]

Ignition City by Warren Ellis and Gianluca Pagliarani is out in trade paperback this week, and you can tell this is a real labour of love for Warren.
