Iron Man: Extremis by Warren Ellis and Adi Granov First off, let us talk about the art. I waited for the trade because I knew there would be one, but it was also nice to read this in one sitting without having to wait for the delays seemingly caused by…
Orbiter by Warren Ellis & Colleen Doran According to Ellis himself, he didn’t like science at school. Reading Orbiter suggests different; it makes you think he was the prize physics pupil, president of the after-school science club, what with all the amazing detail and understanding he brings to the workings…
JLA Classified: New Maps of Hell by Warren Ellis and Jackson Guice You know what I don’t like? Fucking ugly covers that are not at all indicative of the interior art. That is an ugly picture; the garishness of the other five covers would be enough to put me off…

There is something about his style, his inventiveness, his dialogue, his attitude and his sensibilities that speak to me. I don't automatically believe that everything he…
Fell #1 by Warren Ellis & Ben Templesmith (Image) After the term 'widescreen action' was coined for The Authority issues illustrated by Bryan Hitch and made obvious the connection between comics and cinema, Warren Ellis is now making the connection between comics and television in Fell. In this first issue,…
The Apparat line of comics was Warren Ellis writing a set of one-off issues of comics based on the idea that superheroes didn't exist in the publishing world.
