Avatar Press

The award-winning creator of titles such as Transmetropolitan and The Authority from DC/Wildstorm, Ellis is widely regarded as one of the best writers in comics today. The bleeding edge creator was recently listed as one of the 100 most creative people in entertainment by Entertainment Weekly and as "Hot Writer" in Rolling Stone's Hot 2000 issue.

At Avatar Press, Ellis has done Strange Kiss, Stranger Kisses, and Strange Killings with Mike Wolfer, Dark Blue and Bad World with Jacen Burrows, and Atmospherics with Ken Meyer, Jr. Avatar has also published three volumes of his popular internet writings, From the Desk of Warren Ellis volumes one and two, and Bad Signal volume one, as well as script collections for Strange Kiss and Dark Blue.

Current and upcoming Warren Ellis projects from Avatar Press include Scars with art by Jacen Burrows, further chapters in the Strange Killings saga, and Night Radio, an anthology series containing work by Ellis, Matt Fraction, Antony Johnston, and Micaela Petersen and edited by Ellis.

Warren Ellis update: Warren has issued an update about some of his 2002 projects, among them several things to be published by Avatar. Here's a summary of some of the recently-revealed info on the Avatar Press projects:

Scars - a six part crime comic with art by Jacen Burrows. Details on some of the Scars promotional efforts should be available shortly.
Magic Bullets - a 3 issue political/sf/action story, with art by Marat Mychaels. Marat's been winning acclaim with his stellar work on Alan Moore's Glory, and his Magic Bullets work will amaze you as well.
Hyperwar - previously known as the "untitled Avatar project", a three issue creator-owned alternate-world story. Lots of juicy details to be revealed about this project.

And more Warren: There are a few other Warren Ellis items on the schedule for this year as well:

Strange Killings - featuring combat magician William Gravel, plotmastered by Ellis with art by Mike Wolfer.
Night Radio - an anthology edited by Ellis with stories by Matt Fraction, Antony Johnston, Micaela Petersen, and Ellis.

Further announcements on many of these and maybe a surprise or two will be forthcoming.
