In a very odd, ominous, and slightly upsetting post, Warren Ellis revealed simply:
There’ll be no more new comics projects from me in 2010.
Wow, that’s a weird thing to type.
What has caused this? Unknown. What does this exactly mean? Also not necessarily sure. Though, for the record, I am not implying that there is anything bad going on in the Ellis world that would cause him not to do new projects. I should also mention we’re still waiting on some work from Ellis, such as the lost issues of Astonishing X-Men, the new Xenogensis mini, the books that he collaborates on (Wolfskin and Gravel) as well as Supergod and Captain Swing – not to mention the weekly FreakAngels webcomic. Will he still be finishing up any book currently out? I’d hope and imagine so. But for the time being, I suppose we can’t expect any new fun and zany comics from one of the medium’s greatest contributors.
I suppose now, if any, would be a great time to go back and read or re-read his epic library of amazing contributions to comics as there are still six months left in this year. Transmetropolitan, The Authority/Stormwatch, Planetary, Nextwave, No Hero – time to get reading, folks.
