I recently reviewed Frankenstein's Womb for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "Around the end of 1999, Wizard had an issue that featured an article where they argued who the next ‘insert name’ in comics is. I don’t remember most of the pairings, but one that’s always stayed with me was the section that proclaimed Warren Ellis is the next Alan Moore. It featured some glowing quotes on Ellis from Moore and some arguments based mostly on both men being British, having beards, and being confident in their abilities to the point of doing whatever projects suit their fancy. Beyond that, I’ve never really bought into the comparison since each writer’s approach is different as their work shows."
