It's a cover by Declan Shalvey for Dynamite's new Project Superpower; Blackcross #1 by Warren Ellis and Colton Worley. Now, other than seeing the outline of a guy on fire, it's not really obvious what is going on here The guy is burning in such a way that the water around him isn't putting him out[...]

Inspired by a trip to the Pacific Northwest and its "Twin Peaks" vibe, Blackcross, written by Warren Ellis, with art by Colton Worley, is a story about seemingly ordinary people haunted by something "Other" and identities that want to be "let in" Blackcross is part of Project Superpowers at Dynamite, a hark back to Golden[...]

Approaching the drama and intrigue of gods through the eye of criminal noire storytelling, Myths from the Underground is one of the most innovative and creative webcomics today (and it's pretty to look at, too). Lawrence brings with him the second entry to our reading list from creative mastermind Warren Ellis[...]

Warren Ellis has shared a preview of his upcoming Image comic book with Declan Shalvey, Injection, on his newsletter. And reminds us what it'a all about. Once upon a time, there were five crazy people, and they poisoned the 21st Century Now they have to deal with the corrosion to try and save us all from a[...]

In a CBR interview with Kelly Sue DeConnick, and confirmed in Warren Ellis' newsletter, Warren Ellis will be joining issues 12 and 13 of Captain Marvel as co-writer with DeConnick.

In his latest newsletter, Warren Ellis, author of Trees, Transmetropolitan, The Authority, Global Frequency and Freakangels, talked about a few upcoming comic book projects. But he also firmed up news of an upcoming TV project with Universal Cable Productions, part of NBC Universal. I create codenames for unannounced projects so that I can talk about them a bit[...]

Trees from Image Comics, written by Warren Ellis, with art by Jason Howard So many titles to choose from, but this one sung to me, steeped as it was in John Wyndham, Edge of Darkness and perfectly timed for modern day concerns of individuals finding a place to be, all at a time when the world[...]

With the news that Warren Ellis was going to be taking on the Project Superpowers characters, I figured for those of you who want to know who made up the Dynamite series we could run both the zero and first issues of the previous series by Jim Kreuger and Alex Ross. More of the series can[...]

Warren Ellis joins the public domain superhero Project Superpowers party at Dynamite with a new superhero comic, Blackcross, written by Ellis and drawn by Colton Worley. It all looks a little conspiratorial… All small towns have secrets.  All small towns have ghosts.  Blackcross, in the Pacific North West of America, has more secrets than most.  And it is being haunted by[...]

Warren Ellis has written in his newsletter (sign up here) a few details regarding the new adaptation of Global Frequency into a TV series. My graphic novel GLOBAL FREQUENCY is set to be adapted for television again DC Entertainment bought the option and took it to Jerry Bruckheimer's house, where I've always had friends Rockne S[...]

Warren Ellis seems concerned about the sales of his new comic book for Image, Trees. We ran a piece. Though, concerning print runs, it as been pointed out to me that Trees is beating Transmetropolitan in sales significantly For example, randomly, Transmetropolitan #18, is estimated to have sold 16,445 Whereas Trees #3, say, sold 23,000, half way between Planetary's[...]

In 2005, the British satirical sitcom, Nathan Barley, from Charlie Brooker and Chris Morris parodied the then-unfamiliar hipster movement, with epsiode one famously taking fictitious hipster magazine and focus point of the show Sugar Ape… And recreating it as suga RAPE. Clearly such a thing could never actually happen in real life, it was just a satirical[...]

each had our positions, and I think I can say that while we disagreed, we could appreciate each others positions.  As these things happen, we were in the same room together arguing our points, and discovered that both sides held one thing in common that perhaps we could build on, which is a passion for[...]

I've been getting a big kick out of Warren Ellis' Moon Knight issues, and for the first issue, at least, I'm digging his Supreme head trip Generally, whatever Image Comics is doing, I'm keen to at least check out, because that's where the real action is right now Interesting people doing interesting work On the[...]

Now, Moon Knight #6 is out. Look, I know I'm the Warren Ellis fan-boy of the group, and that means that I'm subject to lapses in objectivity when it comes to his work However, that being said, Moon Knight #6 takes on the unenviable task of being a fitting end to Ellis and Declan Shalvey's run[...]

A bit later he would be played by a woefully miscast Keanu Reeves, perhaps the most grievous misdeed ever perpetrated against a human being. Before that, though, in what can be considered one of comics' most egregious cases of lily-livered censorship, there was the shit-storm that surrounded a story from Warren Ellis' brief tenure as writer[...]

Warren Ellis wrote in 2002: It occurs to me that an awful lot of trouble in Gotham City could have been averted a long time ago if Batman had just ripped the Joker's nipples off. I mean, treatment doesn't work, does it? They stick the Joker in the nuthatch, he comes out again and does the same things. A[...]

$3.99? I can go with that, I've bought Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey's Moon Knight and Harbinger written by Joshua Dysart But I think once you go past $3.99, you're approaching the cliff with a lot of consumers If the industry can find a way to give all of the monthly periodicals more appealing price[...]
