Absolution #0

Absolution follows in the footsteps of fellow creator-owned titles from Avatar. Much like Warren Ellis’ Gravel run and Garth Ennis’ over the top zombie series Crossed, Christos Gage takes a classic tale and fuses it with some violence and a dash or two of sophistication. Absolution boiled down is about a superhero serial killer. John Dusk has had enough and has decided to kill the criminals who need it the most, the villains who hid behind the law and continue to ruin innocent lives.

Anna Mercury 2 #1

Warren Ellis continues his alternate reality tripping super-heroine comic book. I wasn’t really blown away by the first mini-series. The story had to do with an agency that polices alternate Earths with agents that can only last an hour for each trip they take to the alternate reality. But as a bonus the agent gets extra strength and agility.

Ignition City #3

I don’t know what to make of Warren Ellis’ Avatar work. For the most part it’s been pretty good, but every so often there are series like Anna Mercury that seem like they have some great ideas but somehow aren’t executed properly. But judging what I’ve read so far, Ignition City is Ellis at his finest.
