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
