Did it get cancelled?
Has Ellis left already? Is he die?
>>
>>78561029
>Did it get cancelled?
Nope, coming out on January 27. Every chapter got delayed a month.
>Has Ellis left already
We wont know until next months solicitations.
>>
Ellis had some sort of medical complication in summer and it has effected his work, Injection has been delayed for a while, which lies up with the delays in Karnak too.

He hasn't fully recovered even today iirc.
>>
>>78561230
So he's Stan Lee's next victim?

>>78561230
alcoholism?
>>
>>78561029
It just got delayed. January 27 is when issue #2 comes out, originally solicited for November 18.

NEWSFLASH: WARREN ELLIS LEAVES YET ANOTHER BOOK UNFINISHED. WEATHER ON THE 5S.
>>
IT'S NOT WARREN'S FAULT HIS DAD STOLE HIS FINISHED SCRIPTS AND ALL HIS PENCILS AND HIS PHONE AND THEN HIS DAD DIED
>>
>>78561477
Haha could be

>>78561652
No idea I don't think he's gone into what actually happened publicly. If you follow him on social media (and his newsletter) he mentions it here and there.
>>
>>78561800
This is actually pretty close to what happened.
>>
>>78561029
Well assuming there is no more delays chapter 2, 3, and 4 will come out every other week before it goes back to once a month.
>>
>>78561800
And Hickman ate his notes.
>>
>>78562822
To be fair, Hickman thought it would instill him with the knowledge necessary to stick the landing on Secret Wars.

Unfortunately for Hickman, it backfired.

I like that this is a sort of different thing for Ellis to do cuz he always does super science shit but this is philosophy-based and kung-fu based

this could've benefitted better by being single issue stories a la moon knight.
>>
So is Karnak a self-insert for Ellis' more antisocial and nihilistic tendencies a la Spider Jerusalem?
>>
>>78563364
kinda/sorta
a book he read called noumenautics meta-ethics and psychedelics served as inspiration for this
>>
>>78563049
>>78563070
heh
>>
>>78563201
He can split a bullet in two?
>>
>>78563538
More specifically he can pinpoint all the flaws in the bullet and know where to hit so the bullet would spilt in two
>>
>>78563538
Yes, can break damn near anything using his powers.
>>78563364
He based this off a nihilism book he read and he claims that karnak will be portrayed rather villainous so he probably won't be right all the time like spider.
>>
>>78563655
>>78563396
Has he mentioned anything about how long he would stay in this? That does sound like too much research for just 6-ish issues
>>
>>78563080
I hope ellis explains what new flaw he saw that would make him quit his job as adviser and focus solely on philosophy.
>>
>>78563746
Nope he has not said anything about as far as I know. People mostly go by his track record of leaving early. He stayed on nextwave for until it ended maybe he would stick to this.
>>
>>78563629
>>78563655
Even if there was a flaw in the bullet and it was cracked down the center he doesn't have the power to change momentum. I would have bought it if he saw the flaw in the shot or the gun or the mans eyes. Whatever. This just makes him a Mary Sue
>>
>>78563791
>until it ended
You mean until it was canceled before its time ;_;
>>
>>78561029
Honest question.
What if Karnak became a lawyer?
>>
>>78561800

And daughter pissed on the computer
>>
>>78564075
We don't talk about his daughter, it's dangerous
>>
>>78564129
What happened with his daughter?
>>
>>78564171
Nothing, Warren threatened to murder all of us if we came near his daughter.
>>
>>78563746
Probably another 12 issue book
>>
>>78563364
Well, he doesn't seem to smoke, drink or kill dogs, so he's a 5 on the Spider Jerusalem scale.
>>
>>78563811
Actually, people splitting bullets in two is pretty common in Ellis books, I think he just doesn't know how they work.
>>
>>78563811
>expecting comics to work on real world physics
Anon Karnak isn't even human, you got to check that science shit at the door.
>>
>>78563811
>Mary Sue
What,how?
>>
>>78563264
I agree.
>>
>>78563264
It might have but for the sake of not feeling exactly the same as his moon knight run this was the better route.
>>
>>78566300
Secret Avengers and Planetary were composed of one off adventures with an overarching plot. And neither of those are similar to Moon Knight. Warren could've made it work with Karnak.
>>
>>78564846
He can do anything the writer wants him to. He could one punch galactus at this point
>>
>>78566559
his power has always been just like Magic or SCIENCE, the power to do whatever the writer wants him to do.
>>78563655
>that karnak will be portrayed rather villainous
well I ccertainly wanted someone to punch him in the face in any panel he talked so I can see that
>>
>>78566559
So it is possible problem dependent on the writers ability to moderate his power? Karnak has manage the last 50 years without doing anything crazy like that. I take it you have no faith in warren.
>>
>>78566679
>without doing anything crazy like that
he's done crazier things
>>
>>78561230
>>78561652
>>78561853

He had like an embolism.
>>
>>78566937
>he's done crazier things
Like what
The craziest thing I know of is knocking out silver surfer
>>
>>78566985
that's far crazier than splitting a bullet.
He was also able to hit and knock off an intangible Vision by vibrating his hand.
he also breaks stones, diamonds, cuts trees, that sort of stuff.
>>
>>78561029
Ellis ended up in hospital in November. for some unknown reason. I think that's the reason for his recent delays.
Although delay's are a common practice for him.
>>
>>78564171
/co/ was perving on his daughter a few years back and Ellis said that anons should stay away from his daughter or that he was going to smear their tiny dicks on the sole of his shoes.
>>
>>78563145

someone hasn't been to Snowtown
>>
>>78566985
He literally punched his way back to live
