A major new series by Warren Ellis, the writer who reinvented science fiction in comics, in the alternate-world style of the award-winning MINISTRY OF SPACE and AETHERIC MECHANICS—a retro-punk "future of the past" where spaceships still belched smoke and arguments were still settled with laser pistols. 1956. Personal space flight is becoming illegal all over the world. Grounded space pilot Mary Raven has to journey to Earth's last spaceport, the island of Ignition City, to recover her dead father's effects -- and discovers, there in the lawless interzone of the ramshackle settlement raised inside the ring of launch pads, that her father died on the wrong end of a ray-gun. She's not going to leave until she finds out who killed Rock Raven, but there's a lot of people who'd rather feed her to the recycling chipper first... Ignition City is an on-going color epic told in five issue series featuring the art of Aetheric Mechanics’ Gianluca Pagliarani.

Whitechapel - Ignition City #3: Chain Men, Vanderkirk
That sounds to me like Vanderkirk is meant to be, Bleed-slipstream-wise, an ex-Lensman, which I love. But it's clear that I haven't read half of the classics that Ignition City is steeped in, so I'm wondering if I'm wrong and there's ...

Whitechapel - Did Ignition City ship yet?
I ordered it at my local comic shop, but haven't seen it yet. I don't know if it's shipped yet or not. Even if it has, as this comic shop is only been in business just over a month, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd get it in late anyhow.
