Warren Ellis update: Warren has issued an update about some of his 2002 projects, among them several things to be published by Avatar. Here's a summary of some of the recently-revealed info on the Avatar Press projects:

Scars - a six part crime comic with art by Jacen Burrows. Details on some of the Scars promotional efforts should be available shortly.
Magic Bullets - a 3 issue political/sf/action story, with art by Marat Mychaels. Marat's been winning acclaim with his stellar work on Alan Moore's Glory, and his Magic Bullets work will amaze you as well.
Hyperwar - previously known as the "untitled Avatar project", a three issue creator-owned alternate-world story. Lots of juicy details to be revealed about this project.

And more Warren: There are a few other Warren Ellis items on the schedule for this year as well:

Strange Killings - featuring combat magician William Gravel, plotmastered by Ellis with art by Mike Wolfer.
Night Radio - an anthology edited by Ellis with stories by Matt Fraction, Antony Johnston, Micaela Petersen, and Ellis.

Further announcements on many of these and maybe a surprise or two will be forthcoming.
