Legendary creator Warren Ellis will unleash a new Wildstorm Comics in 2017.
DC Comics announced (via ComicBook.com) writer Warren Ellis (TRANSMETROPOLITAN, RED, THE AUTHORITY) will be the curator of a new pop-up imprint, known simply as “WildStorm.”
This new imprint will debut February 2017 with a regular monthly comic titled THE WILD STORM, written by Ellis with art by Jon Davis-Hunt (Vertigo’s CLEAN ROOM). This ongoing series will reset the known WildStorm universe and introduce new iterations of WildStorm characters such as Grifter, Voodoo, The Engineer, Jenny Sparks and others.
“After long reflection, I couldn’t turn down the invitation to renovate the house that Jim Lee built, and refit its unique combination of cosmic paranoia and paramilitary conspiracy for the post-political space madness of the twenty-teens,” said Ellis. “Looking back to look forward.”
This Ellis curated line follows the success of DC’s Young Animal line curated by Gerard Way.
This is just the beginning of the new storm as fan favorites will be reborn by Ellis.
THE WILD STORM will serve as a launching pad for several future series: MICHAEL CRAY, WILDC.A.T.S. and ZEALOT. DC revealed character designs for some of fan favorite Wildstorm heroes. Continue reading WILDSTORM Returns With WARREN ELLIS

The Pacific Northwest is famous for wine and a thriving comic book community. Several major comic writers, artists and publishers call this region home.
Now Dark Horse Comics is conjuring up a wine based on one their greatest supernatural heroes just in time for Halloween.
Hellboy, the wine?
Now you can raise a toast to this demonic hero.
Dark Horse Comics and Portland, Oregon’s Stoller Family Estates Winery joined forces to create the 2011 Hellboy Reserve Pinot Noir. Hellboy is a long running comic book series created by legendary Mike Mignola which inspired two major films directed by Guillermo del Toro. The new wine will be available on Halloween and is available for pre-order now.
“I can’t imagine a more fitting drink to both celebrate Mike Mignola‘s creative legacy and honor his most famous creation,” said Dark Horse Comics President Mike Richardson. “And it’s only fitting that the first time that fans can raise a glass of Hellboy Reserve Pinot Noir will be on Halloween.”
“We are thrilled to be collaborating with Dark Horse Comics on the special Hellboy wine,“ said Gary Mortensen, President of Stoller Family Estate. “It’s quite an honor to share our wine with such a passionate fan base and to be associated with the amazingly iconic character Hellboy.”
With the explosion of breakout new female heroes, huge changes for fan favorites, and major icons heading from page to screen, there’s never been a better time to soar with a new expanded version of The Supergirls: Fashion, Feminism, Fantasy and the History of Comic Book Heroines by Mike Madrid.
