Warren Ellis' newuniversal Returns

Bunch of older news to get out to you, thanks to the technical problems of last week. You Ellis fans (and there are quite a few of you, I know) have probably heard of this by now, but for those of you who haven't, it's still news. Since it worked so well the last time, the PR is included here and the preview artwork will be in the next post.

This is an official Marvel Comics press release:

In a world experiencing superhuman powers for the first time, four heroes have risen—but now it's time for chaos to erupt as more discover their abilities! The acclaimed newuniversal, from award-winning scribe Warren Ellis (Thunderbolts, upcoming Astonishing X-Men) and rising star Steve Kurth (Last Of The Mohicans) present newuniversal: shockfront #1 (of 6), a gripping new series that'll leave you on the edge of your seats. As Starbrand, Nighthawk, Justice, and Cipher continue to deal with their new powers — and the people hunting them down—similarly gifted individuals appear. But will they be a force for good or evil?

Wrapped up in a gorgeous cover by Brandon Peterson, newuniversal: shockfront #1 sets the Earth on a collision course with its destiny—but will these new superhumans be the planet's saviors or its doom?
