    Default Warren Ellis: Collected content any format

    With Cancel Culture and vindictive attitudes towards publishing material from those accused of misconduct(not found guilty, just accused in some cases), are we adding Ellis to this?
    Sexual Misconduct by Ellis for decades??

    If so there are a number of runs from a variety of publishers that may not get collected now. My first thought was well. guess we won't get that Moon Knight series into an Omni where he writes the first 6 issue arc now. However, if I never see his Mr. Knight again as a result I will not be upset.

    Should you go ahead and get that Hellstrom Omni while you can?

    That depends whether or not there is still enough interest in the content. People are entitled to exercise their right to not buy something if they have a problem with a creator, and if that leads to reduced interest then a publisher can't be expected to produce a product that they don't see as profitable. Personally, I avoid forming personal opinions in these matters without evidence, but in a situation where there is clear evidence that somebody upholds a view that I find ethically problematic (in which case it isn't vindictive) then I may make a decision to avoid supporting that person. Of course, some people jump onto such things on the basis of an accusation alone, but that is nonetheless their right to do so. My point is that people are absolutely entitled to not support a creator if they feel that they cannot accept the creator's ethical conduct, and that naturally will lead to reduce demand. Reduced demand equals reduced requirement for publication. So, yes, perhaps it is wise to get his works now if you're worried about them not being published, but I guess it's difficult to really be sure. I haven't checked any response from publishers regarding Ellis, but maybe there is something there to give you an indication as to the stance they might take? I guess it's always a risk whether or not you buy up now, same as reprints.

    Pretty heated subject for our modest, usually very chill little corner over here, hopefully everyone will behave and keep the discussion civil and related to collected editions. *crosses fingers, grows extra arms so he can cross more fingers.

    I would hope not, as I've never seen this sub-forum heated, but just to clarify in case it came across so; my reply is absolutely not intended with any heat at all. I tried to answer the question as impersonally as possible for that reason and focus on the latter question, but it's hard to completely disconnect the two when answering
