Image’s solicitation blurb for Injection certainly suggests that the author’s ambition hasn’t been curbed in any way, describing the project as “a serialised sequence of graphic novels about how loud and strange the world is getting, about the wild future and the haunted past all crashing into the present day at once”. Instead, the work he’s doing at the moment (perhaps in response to the emergence of young pretenders like Ales Kot) provides pleasing echoes of his earlier career-defining projects, while still being driven forward by his tireless imagination and curiosity. Despite a downtempo start, Injection, the latest collaboration from Warren Ellis, Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire, promises to unfold into another genre-hopping epic.Ī year on, and now with four acclaimed series on the shelves, perhaps we should stop describing this stage of Warren Ellis’s career as his ‘return to comics’.
