Warren Ellis and Desolation Jones

On Friday, we brought you the news that Warren Ellis has been contracted to develop a TV show for AMC. More recent Ellis news is that, starting with issue 7 of his current comic series Desolation Jones, he’ll be working with a new artist, Danijel Zezelj, a relative unknown to the American comics market. The artist for the first six issues was the amazing J.H. Williams III. Look for a trade paperback of the Williams issues, entitled Desolation Jones: Made In England, this fall.

Newsarama has a fairly lengthy interview with Ellis on Desolation Jones, working with two very different artists, etc. If you were as big of a fan of Transmetropolitan as I was, you’ll want to check out Desolation Jones. I think it hits (and hits and hits some more) a similar vein.
