Nextwave: The Director's Cut


Marvel announced a "director's cut" version of Nextwave #1, due in store March 15:

Nextwave #1 sold out at Diamond earlier this week and thanks to a groundswell of requests, Marvel is releasing a second printing of the madcap first issue with a few extras. Nextwave #1 Directors's Cut brings you behind the scenes of Stuart Immonen's art as well as bringing you farther into the mind of Warren Ellis than anyone should ever dare.

Just ask modest editor Nick Lowe how he thinks Nextwave #1 Director's Cut is shaping up. "Some say that I am a tad over-enthusiastic, but this is going to be, by far, the best Director's Cut EVER!" says the ever-exuberant Lowe. "Eat your heart out, Quesada! Enjoy the back seat, Whedon! Warren's script is hilarious and Stuart's sketches are genius. And who hasn't been waiting for Warren's original pitch for the series? I know you have, anonymous reader!"

Nextwave #1 Director's Cut brings to you the genesis behind how Nextwave sprung from Warren Ellis's mind into your very hands, including Warren's pitch about the series (slightly censored) as well as his script for the first issue (even more than slightly censored).


I posted a piece of Warren Ellis's script earlier this week (with his permission, of course), and I understand that the entire thing really is very funny. I usually don't go for "director's cuts," esp. if I already have the original, but I think in this case I'll make an exception.
