After
a decade or so of successfully writing Moon Knight, comic book writer Warren
Ellis is rebooting the Project Superpowers.
Official
Press Release:
Dynamite
is honored to announce that Warren Ellis, one of the greatest and most
respected comic book writers in comics, will be working with Dynamite for the
very first time! Warren Ellis plans to take control of the Project Superpowers
universe in late 2014, as Dynamite Entertainment continues to celebrate its
10th Anniversary.
"I've long been
fascinated by the period in comics that produced these characters, and I'm very
much looking forward to working out the strange, atmospheric take on the weird
thriller that they inspired. Also, it's going to be a pleasure to finally
do a job through the good offices of my old friend Nick Barrucci." -

"I've wanted to
work with Warren for many years, and have approached him more than a few
times," says Dynamite CEO / Publisher Nick Barrucci, "I can honestly
say that when his schedule allowed for us to work together, I was
speechless. We've been waiting for the right creative vision to bring
back Dynamite's Superpowers Universe, and I can't think of anyone better than
Warren to do so. I was elated that both came together. He will make
this series his own and will bring a larger audience to Dynamite's Super Powers
universe. This is truly an honor to be working with him, as Warren
elevates Dynamite to a new level."
"Warren is truly
a visionary storyteller and he's been given carte blanche to reimagine these
characters and this world," adds Dynamite Senior Editor Joe Rybandt.
"The results will appeal to his existing fans for sure, but the world he
is creating is accessible to all from the start."
Warren Ellis is a
graphic novelist, columnist and author of the New York Times best-selling novel
Gun Machine, which is currently being developed for television. He has a
novella, Normal, and a non-fiction book due from Farrar Straus Giroux in 2014.
RED 2, the sequel to the Bruce Willis-Helen Mirren film RED based on his
book of the same name, was released in August 2013. He holds the lifetime
achievement prize from comics' Eagle Awards and the NUIG President's Medal for
services to free speech. He travels a lot and mostly lives in airplanes
now.
