Warren Ellis and Ben Templesmith’s Fell

Warren Ellis and Ben Templesmith are two of the most talented creators working in comics today. Ellis’ resume of outstanding comics is almost too long to mention, including Planetary, Stormwatch, The Authority, Transmetropolitan and several others. Templesmith’s body of work includes 30 Days of Night and Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse, both very highly acclaimed, not to mention popular with readers.

Together, they create almost exactly what you’d expect. It’s dark, it’s funny and it’s just an all-around great read. FELL is this week’s Trade Paperback Spotlight.
