Mr Ellis has turned to his usual bag of tricks. In that regard, Mr Ellis does two jobs: write the comic, and engage in pre-production character treatment specifically relating to the motion picture. It is a natural assumption that the work Mr Ellis does here is likely to shape the character in preparation for the motion picture. Marvel Comics have publicly stated that Mr Ellis was engaged to write the series given his track record in revitalising other Marvel Comics assets. This package of characters was created in 1965, and is slated to appear in a film in 2019.

This is an obscure character from a super-powered group called The Inhumans. Mr Ellis is presently writing a new series called Karnak for Marvel Comics. But perhaps it is more accurate to say that Mr Ellis simply has a winning formula. That is high praise from Mr Morrison, who is no slouch when it comes to raw creativity. A contemporary of Mr Ellis, comics writer Grant Morrison, has lamented the distaste Mr Ellis exhibits for the subject matter with the annotation that Mr Ellis is the paramount writer in that field. There is some irony to this as Mr Ellis has for many, many years expressed his dislike of the genre. Mr Ellis is most commercially successful when he writes superhero comics. When Mr Ellis writes comic books featuring teams of characters, often multiple members of the cast exhibit these traits. These characters are usually male (but not always), socially ill-adjusted, confrontational to the point of being violent, and clever.

Acclaimed British comic book writer (and occasional novelist) Warren Ellis has a knack for writing droll curmudgeons.
