"Ellis and Immonen take over Ultimate Fantastic Four this June
When writer Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Millar needed some
relief from their duties on Ultimate Fantastic Four, they only
made one phone call and Warren Ellis was happy to pick up.
Ellis (Planetary) -- with artist Stuart Immonen (Incredible Hulk,
Shockrockets) -- will take over Ultimate FF with June’s issue #7
of the top-selling title. According to Ellis, who’s already
planned out two arcs for the book, the decision to return to
the House of Ideas really came down to helping out his mates.
"Millar and Bendis had found themselves committed to big new
things, and something in their schedules had to give," reveals
Ellis. "Unfortunately, that thing was Ultimate FF. So Millar gets
a hold of me and basically threw himself on my mercy. Which
usually doesn't work, and I have those people carried away and
sodomised behind the stables. But I've known Millar since he
was a choirboy, so I let him speak. Mark and Brian were in a
hole. I've known them both for years. You don't leave your
mates in the lurch. Simple as that.""
Hmm. Outoa sinänsä, ottaen huomioon kuinka paljon Ellis on viime vuosina vaahdonnut itse kehitetyn ja omistetun materiaalin puolesta. Yleensä kiinnostaa Ellisin projektit mutta tämä ei.
