The X-Men and Warren Ellis...

[fajrdrako]

From Warren Ellis's comments today: "So it seems that everyone now knows I'm taking over ASTONISHING X-MEN from Joss next year: the actual title of the book will be ASTONISHING X-MEN: SECOND STAGE."

I hadn't known.

I am delighted.

Warren Ellis on X-Men.

Dare I hope Pete Wisdom will reappear in the storyline?

Even if he doesn't... If you said to me, "in a perfect world, who would you like to see writing X-Men?", Warren Ellis would be near the top of my list.

No idea re: your roster question. I suspect that Warren's going to play his cards very close to the vest on this until he's unable to hold off the editors any longer.

Probably.

Mind you, I'm with the editors in this case. I think Warren Ellis is at his best when he's edited, and edited carefully. Not that he isn't always brilliant, but generally speaking, when his editing is minimal, he loses quality for the sake of outrageousness.

I wonder what ideas has for X-Men.

Clearly, I will be finding out.

Warren Ellis, as in Spider Jerusalem?

[dewline.livejournal.com]

One and the same.

Mercifully for the sake of the universe, there is only one Warren Ellis.

The very one.
