For those who don't want to read it themselves or Warren Ellis' site is justifiably blocked at work or school, Ignition City is a cross between Deadwood and Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, and every other space hero. It's where the space heroes go to die/retire and miss the "good ole days".

If you were you'd know John Cassaday is hard at work on Planetary #27, which will hopefully be out early next year.

Update 8:36 pm: Zimm asks "So - what is about?"

My answer: I don't really know for sure yet. But I liked Deadwood and Planetary is one of my all time favorite comics. Seems like an idea that's worth trying for a few issues at least.

Update 11/3/2008 5:54 pm: Another post on WarrenEllis.com about Ignition City. It shows pictures some of the rayguns. The Bowman character referenced is a Flash Gordon analogue.
