'Gravel' returns to Avatar Press
Published Tuesday, Mar 22 2011, 09:50 GMT | By Hugh Armitage
Avatar Press has announced a new ongoing Gravel title.
According to Comic Book Resources, the monthly Gravel: Combat Magician series will be written by Mike Wolfer, who was artist on the Warren Ellis-penned miniseries that introduced the character, before becoming co-writer on the previous ongoing title.
"We're scaling back from the giant magic stuff," said Avatar editor-in-chief William Christensen during the Avatar panel at C2E2. "There's going to be a lot more kick-ass military stuff."
Gravel has been optioned by Legendary Pictures with Ellis attached to write the script, but Christensen said that he is unsure whether or not the film will be made.
William Gravel was introduced in the Strange Kiss miniseries, and starred in various other miniseries before receiving an ongoing title.
Gravel: Combat Magician will debut in the last quarter of the year. The first 18 issues have already been plotted.
