20 (Or So) Best Comics of the Decade: 20-16

Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: March 2, 2010

20. Kick-Ass – Mark Millar & John Romita Jr.
Any list of the last decade’s top writers would have to include Mark Millar. Famous for his work getting Marvel’s Ultimate Universe off the ground and for horror-satire-mind-f***s like The Unfunnies, Millar had already made his mark by 2008, but it took the creator-owned gem Kick-Ass to [...]

In a world so distinctly sci-fi as Doktor Sleepless, Warren Ellis has found one hell of a twist on this Philip K. Dick meets Chuck Palahniuk vision of the future. If you have ever mused to yourself, “We live in the future. Where is my jet pack?” then you should know Warren Ellis feels the [...]

When God Ends the World: Warren Ellis – Avatar Press – Supergod

Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: December 12, 2009

Warren Ellis and Garrie Gastonny started a new story in November called Supergod with Avatar Press publishing. Intended as the third installment of a thematic trilogy (Black Summer and No Hero being parts 1 & 2), Ellis and Gastonny explore concepts of superheroes, divinity, and religion. I know the idea of supermen as gods isn’t [...]

Warren Ellis: Totally Jealous of the Six Million Dollar Man

Posted by: Robert Bazz on: October 12, 2009

This week marked the end of another legendary comic book opus, Planetary, so it really seems like now would be the time to spotlight one of my all time favorite comic writers, Warren Ellis. While most writers embrace the theme of futurist technology, Ellis seems to take it, add many elements of transhumanism (essentially, using [...]

Posted by: Maggie_C on: October 8, 2009

Whedon’s golden-touch when it comes to kick ass female characters was turned to eleven when [...]

High Five! Top Ten! – Heroes What Ain’t Got No Powers

Posted by: Robert Bazz on: August 31, 2009

Before we get there, I know what complaints I’m gonna get. “Where’s Bruce Wayne? The Spirit? Tony Stark?” Well, not here. Batman and the Spirit are legends in their own right, big enough that I’d consider their legacy to be a power in and of itself. And Tony Stark has weird implants now. TOTALLY COUNTS. [...]
