On a night beset by a fierce Warren Ellis Blackgas an earthquake simultaneously, the fault line cracks, releasing something foul from the Earth's guts, blown across the little coastal town of Smoky Island. The only two people on the island who were outside the reach of the black gas are now trapped on a spit of rock with a population that aren't what we'd call "people" anymore.

Blackgas is yet another totally unremarkable zombie book that does nothing different from the many preceding it. Blackgas is about a scientist who experiments with something, of course it goes wrong, and a virus is unleashed which causes people to behave in horrible ways, eg. The piles up and then it just ends. Not much of a review, you might be thinking. In fact I think he made a bet with himself to write an entire book on his phone while waiting for his drinks order to be filled at the pub and Blackgas was the result. Probably the worst thing I've read from Warren Ellis. It's pretty much Crossed with zombies. Some black gas comes out of the ground and Warren Ellis Blackgas everyone who breathes it into foul, crazy people until they fully devolve into zombies. There is clearly no point to this story other than let's see how pointlessly demented we can make this. The story doesn't even follow the same characters throughout the 6 issues. The art isn't very good, the colorist tries to hide that behind all the random blood spatte Probably the worst thing I've read from Warren Ellis. The art isn't very good, the colorist tries to hide that behind all the random blood spatter and gore. Avatar often mistakes shock and gore for story and that trend continues here. View 2 comments. Jan 14, J. Keely rated it did not like it Shelves: horrorcomicsreviewed. It had always been my experience that you can't go wrong with Warren Ellis, so it's a shame to have been proven wrong. While some of this book's basic ideas are interesting, the treatment is sadly lacking. The characters are simplistic and grating, the dialogue awkward, and the plotting unfocused. You can see Ellis trying to express some interesting characters, but his treatment lacks subtlety, leaving us with uncharicteristically ham-fisted interpersonal conflicts interposed with transparent ex It had always been my experience that you can't go wrong with Warren Ellis, so it's a shame to have been proven wrong. You can see Ellis trying to express some interesting characters, but Warren Ellis Blackgas treatment lacks subtlety, leaving us with uncharicteristically ham-fisted Warren Ellis Blackgas conflicts interposed with transparent exposition. The zombie genre is often bare-bones and fast-paced, Warren Ellis Blackgas perhaps in trying to adapt to this style, Ellis lost his funny, cranky cynicism. In fact, almost none of his crankiness remains, though there is a certain cynicism Warren Ellis Blackgas the utter bleakness of the series. Ellis is at his most unsentimental here, which may be why his characters feel so expendible. There's lots of sex and gore and morally outrageous turns, but without good characters or a good story to pin it on, it falls rather flat. Fiumara is certainly a deft hand when it comes to shotgun head splatter and dangling viscera, which was why I was surprised Warren Ellis Blackgas see how ugly, plain, and poorly-constructed his normal humans were. When your zombies are prettier than your heroes, you have a problem. Normally, you can judge an artist Warren Ellis Blackgas how good his hands are, since hands are so complex and difficult to draw, but Fiumara's are fine, it's mainly the faces and bodies that he mangles. The backgrounds are likewise impressive, though why you would skimp on the faces of the main characters, the things the reader will be seeing more often than anything else, I can't begin to guess. This whole thing was a mess from stem to stern and I'm finding myself hopig it isn't a sign that Ellis has passed his prime. I know some authors, even once-remarkable talents, can fall utterly flat later in their careers, and I hope that Ellis' best years are ahead of him, not behind him. My Suggested Reading In Comics View 1 comment. Shelves:graphic-novelshorror. Warren Ellis has never written a bad book. The man seems to be incapable of doing so. Blackgas keeps his record of not writing bad books intact. Warren Ellis Blackgas, this is not a great book. It is barely a good book. But it is most definitely not a bad book. Warren Ellis Blackgas is at its core a classic late 70's early 80's horror story. It starts out with two young college kids heading into the Warren Ellis Blackgas to do a bit of Warren Ellis Blackgas around. And like in all classic tales of horror, that act of carnality costs them dearly. Their conjugal bed is still steaming when the fault line underneath the tiny island they are on cracks open spilling out the Blackgas the book is named for. This gas has strange chemical properties that cause all that breathe it in to turn into a sort of zombie hellbent on eating flesh and at least in the early stages of infection acting out on all of their darkest desires. Lucky for our two lovebirds the Warren Ellis Blackgas was blowing south. With a shotgun and a baseball bat, the two attempt to make it to the docks, onto a boat, and from there to safety. That proves to be much more difficult than anticipated. Ellis generally does good with his characterizations. He builds characters with deep thoughts and emotions. Characters that have complex thoughts about the situations they are in. In Blackgas, the characters Warren Ellis Blackgas flat. We are given so little time Warren Ellis Blackgas anyone and interesting characters are trotted out on stage where we Warren Ellis Blackgas told and not shown what to think about them before they disappear. Often between the teeth of a horde of ravenous zombies. It's a shame that this book which was originally released in two series of three comics wasn't Warren Ellis Blackgas a little more length. I don't need this story to span a gargantuan amount Warren Ellis Blackgas time building the story, but a Warren Ellis Blackgas bit more leisure in the first act would have been nice. I know it's tough to sell two issues of a horror comic that have nothing horrific happening in them, but some exposition would be helpful to the pacing of the story. And pacing is a problem with this book. Especially the second half. Characters are introduced and executed in the space of two panels. A zombie story should be fast paced and get your heart pounding, but there is no feeling of a story being told. It is like a series of cut scenes in a video game. There isn't enough time to feel anything for any of the characters. Blackgas by Warren Ellis

It's a good time to be a zombie. Really, you'd have Warren Ellis Blackgas be dead not to notice that zombies Warren Ellis Blackgas made quite the comeback in horror circles. In the recent films "28 Days Later," the "Dawn of the Dead" remake and "Shaun of the Dead," we've been given looks at a variety of different sorts of zombies, from the dim-witted, slow moving classic zombie to the crazed, sprinter style zombie. And it's not just film that's paid their respects to the living dead. The writer of "" and "" returns to the world of horror this January in the three-issue series "Blackgass" with artist Max Fiumara from Avatar Press. We caught up with Ellis to find out what his plans are for the living dead. The series begins on a tiny little island that sits on its own fault line. Smoky Island's had a historian working Warren Ellis Blackgas the wilds for years, and he knows things have gotten weird there in the distant past. But no-one knows how weird. That night, we find out. Tyler and Soo are staying in a cabin on Warren Ellis Blackgas other side of the Bulge And black gas leaks out, blown south, passing over Footstep While the citizens of Footstep can't escape the gas that spells their doom, Tyler and Soo are lucky enough to be on the north end of the island and outside the reach of the gas which blew south. That doesn't mean they have it easy, though. Not by a long shot. Tyler and Soo are young arts students, unequipped for pretty much anything to do with real life. I'm not making a big point out of it, but, really, we're talking about people who've evolved for digital life, who wouldn't think of taking a knife with them into deep woodland So Tyler and Soo have to go south, through the town of Footstep, to get to the bay. As we saw in the film "28 Days Later," zombies have changed over the years and you can expect Ellis will be placing his own signature on the living dead as well. The zombie bite imparts I can Warren Ellis Blackgas Maddie Greene, zombie fan and organizer of this year's Zombie Lurch in Madison Wisconsin, laughing as I struggle with that word. There are parallels to Ebola or other similar vicious diseases: the chemical load of the black gas expresses out in the black foam drooling from Warren Ellis Blackgas zombies' mouths, and drips from their eyes as black muck I took that visual from the eye haemmorhages Ebola victims suffer, blood streaking out of their eyes and their faces. They don't just eat people. They do utterly disgusting things. All that black stuff in the back of our brains that we never act Warren Ellis Blackgas That all comes out. They're out of control, but technically Warren Ellis Blackgas not mindless. They're just beyond reasoning with. While in film, filmmakers have the ability to scare audiences by having characters jump out from shadows and what not, the same tools aren't available to comic writers as it's the reader controls the experience i. Ellis said exploring the psychological side of the story is what will grip readers with fear in "Blackgas. It's about creating Warren Ellis Blackgas tone, and slowly tuning it so that everything becomes threatening," said Ellis. Bit by bit, you can worm your way into a reader's head and, not outright scare them, but disturb them While Ellis has written horror before with books like "," "Hellstorm," "Strange Kiss" and "Scars," it's been a few years since he's played within the genre. When it comes to the writing, Ellis explained that the timing in a horror story is, in many ways, quite different compared to a straight up super-hero story or his work on books like "" and "Fell. And then someone starts bleeding. And something is moving behind the door that's ajar. You know what I mean? The bad stuff leaks in. A little at first. And then a lot. And then when you think it couldn't get any worse lots of little men run in with buckets and fling some more on. A ways back, I broke down and devised Warren Ellis Blackgas specifically for him. It's basically me writing a book for my friend to read. Warren Ellis Blackgas my friend is sick in the head, it has disgusting violence and gutbusting horror in Warren Ellis Blackgas. That's the whole deal, really. Sometimes it's just as simple as that. Ellis had some thoughts on the subject. As for the influences Ellis is pulling from for "Blackgas," he said American horror films played a part in the development Warren Ellis Blackgas this series. Gimme some of that pussy! Just a few short years ago it was Warren Ellis Blackgas difficult to find many horror related comics on the market outside of a Vertigo book here or there. Today, though, things are quite different, with an abundance of horror comics available for readers to sample from. With Max Fiumara on the job, 'Blackgas' has a terrible clarity to its art-- you'll be able to see all the awful details, whether you want to or not. And because Warren Ellis Blackgas such a flexible artist, the early sequences really ground the book in reality, Warren Ellis Blackgas is what I like in horror: you start with the real world as the ideal, and then the shitrain begins, and you really want to get back to the beautiful world you started with Share Share Tweet Email 0.
