Hmm, I like Warren Ellis but I have seen the Arthur mythos done so wrong so many times that I would have to see a line up and a director before getting excited.

The Ellis fanboy in me is jumping for joy (to be fair, it's from finding out that Planetary finally has an end date). The only other thing Ellis has done that could be similar is a graphic novella called “Crecy,” which is a great rant on why the English won the battle. But even that is a stretch from doing full on Arthurian myths. I wonder if he can be convinced to replace Merlin with Spider Jerusalem…
