I want to check it out but i'm kinda worried it'll be delayed like Black summer which is now two months late. :) i'll check it out in a trade

"Anna Mercury will be a series of mini-series" - So this is going the Ultimates-way. I'll definitely buy the first mini 'cause it's Warren Ellis and then see from there.

Really wish Ellis would do some more exciting creator owned stuff (besides Fell).

welll...

especially after seeing the interiors jump at my eyes, I am glad that I have been doing this on a PRE-order :D

Damn this looks good!!!

I might get this! The interior art looks surprisingly very good. It looks better than any of the promo artwork. I'm confused.

Black Summer and Doctor Sleepless didn't do it for me. Not interested in the idea behind Gravel, and based on the preview I don' think I am going to pick up Anna Mercury. Maybe I should check out Desolation Jones sometime soon.

The Avatar books smell weird...

**Phil Hunn** · 04-06-2008, 06:02 AM

I read this today.

I was... confused, ever so slightly. I mean, the set-up was cool, and Anna herself looked nifty (although her 90s-style explosion of big hair was, let's face it, a tiny bit silly, and she was definitely channelling Aeon Flux and the Black Widow just a touch), but I couldn't quite work out what the last page was implying.

Oh well, the next issue should reveal more, I suppose...

I'm down for at least the first mini-series. Ellis hasn't let me down with any of his creator owned work.

yeah, i know it came out last wednesday but i just finished the issue yesterday (i like to save the most promising indie books for last). i really truly enjoyed this issue. Facundo Percio's art is awesome, especially in the silent action scenes that are expertly paced. i was thrilled enough with this book to put Anna Mercury on my pull list (or at least i will when i stop by the shop today). anyone else check this book out?
