Looking forward to this. Ellison's long been a fan of Concrete. And Chadwick's art is wonderful.

Sounds interesting, but why is the news in the Vertigo forum? Didn't see mentioned that 7 Against Chaos would be a Vertigo title. And that kind of matters in the light of what we've been discussing in the last several days about DC policy towards Vertigo.

Harlan Ellison? I'm there.

According to blastr.com:

Put these two cats together and you get sweet harmony in the form of Harlan Ellison's 7 Against Chaos, which will be released under DC's main banner this coming summer.

Not a Vertigo book then. Still great news, of course.

If it is as good as the premise SF fan like me will look forward to this.

But why is it in Vertigo forum i wonder too?

I love Ellison, but man oh man, do I predict that his temperament, and DC’s seeming desire to control writers by corporate/editorial fiat as a collision waiting to happen.

If that collision occurs, then for the first time in a long while the sentiment ‘The DC Universe will never be the same’ may actually prove true.

[Billy Batson]

Cool, more graphic novels. Would have been better if it came from Vertigo though.

[Desaad]

Holy crap, awesome.

But the fact that this is being released out of DC proper is certainly a bad sign for Vertigo.

I'm also hoping for some follow up on the next Concrete book, Stars Over Sand.

7 is good number. The Magnifient Seven, 7 Samaurai, Seven Soldiers!

"Yeah, Harlan, Hi, Geoff here, we got the first script, and, um, what happened to the red, green, and blue alien power belts we requested for the invaders true source of power? And can you add Larfleeze to the cast?"

"You, sir, are an ignoramous. Good day to you!"

Wow !

Ellison & Chadwick. That pic looks so sweet.

Hope this doesn't implode, and yes, I'm hoping for a clearer understanding of what's happening with Vertigo too. It's 20th anniversary is next year !

Same here. I haven't been this enthused since Dream Corridor.
