Warren Ellis Like I said only information that would make me excited and books I’d buy in the future. Well I generally like Warren Ellis’s work, as an internet personality the guy can come off as a complete nob, but then I’ve never met the man, only read what he says online and in interviews, and well the man does sound like a nob. In the past few years I’ve bought quite a few of his projects, not all of them mind you, but a decent amount of them. some of the ones I’ve used are:

Transmetropolitan Planetary Orbiter Come In Alone Stormwatch Authority Atmosphere

Now he’s done a few things that I would like to pick up like Global Frequency, and RED. His Avatar press stuff just looks pretty poor. That style of book really doesn’t do much for me. After picking up Atmosphere, which is about alien abduction I thought no, unless the actual subject interests me and the art inside actually excites me I’m not bothering, just because he’s got a crack idea I won’t be following him wherever, he used to be up there in terms of my loyalty that I knew if he wrote something I’d be up for it because generally he wouldn’t be able to disappoint. However even though he hates it, his best work is usually in the realm of superhero books. He writes them for adults and he writes them well. The nice thing is there are a few things that are pretty cool he’s doing apart from Marvel work. Here’s a pdf of the first 7 pages of his Ocean series from Wildstorm, which looks pretty sweet due to Chris Spouse that I’ll be checking out for sure, Ocean preview. Then there’s Stealth Tribes from Vertigo, I’ll go into more detail later on about this during my best of vertigo panel. He’s got a few more things coming out but I’ve seen no artwork for them, so I wouldn’t know what the deal is, including a series with JH Williams, of Promethea fame so that should be good as well.

So in the future I’ll be looking forward to from Warren ‘Make mine Marvel’: Ultimate Fantastic Four Ultimate Nightmare and Iron Man ! So here are a few images I’ve liberated from cbr:

The article goes over this very briefly here: Warren and Adi on Iron Man. For those wanting to know who Adi is and what he can do, go and check out his website, Adi Granov’s portfolio

Mental note, make sure to sort out my ul, ol and li tags, and learn how to use that god damned exhibit plugin to sort out the images that get posted, also sort out a border that goes round these images would also be nice.
