The Wild Storm #18

[laughing_tree]

I wanted The Wild Storm, the book, to feel completely, completely different from the Wildstorm work of Image in the early 90s because that stuff, back then, was the most technically accomplished commercial comics in the world. They were the best printed, the best colored, to the point where that is actually really hard to top on a technical production level, so I went the other way. I took it back to the simplest, earliest comics, which are gridwork, and the color work is all watercolor as opposed to CGI shade, and we're on a matte paper stock. -- Warren Ellis

I'm really enjoying this series but I don't know how Ellis is going to wrap everything up in six issues.

I think at least 2 more mini series are supposed to spin off from this, one of them will be Zealot.

Hmmmm, shoulda known...

I remember Ellis did something like this with Marvel's New Universe, and he just...stopped.

As I recall, all his notes got deleted so he declared it dead.

[scorntx]

That has always sounded pretty unconvincing, coming from Warren Ellis.

He couldn't have just made something up?

[dewinged]

It sounds fishy to me, too?

Make something up? Like...some kind of person who makes up stories? Poppycock, I say!

I think notes in this case wasn't just a plot summary but extensive background research and world-building.

He lost a LOT of stories. I'm betting that's the same incident that doomed Desolation Jones and Fell.
