Mek (comics)

Mek is a three-issue comic book mini-series published in 2003 by WildStorm, written by Warren Ellis, pencilled by Steve Rolston and inked by Al Gordon.

When interviewed about Mek, Warren Ellis explained that he felt that mechanical augmentation was "already happening",[1] quoting Stelarc and the work of Kevin Warwick as examples.

The series was later collected as one half of a 'flipbook'[2] format trade paperback, accompanied by another Warren Ellis miniseries, Reload (ISBN 1401202756).

Leon discovers that Sky Road is now the center of "bad MEK", which involves implanting black market weapons and stolen military technology.

Mek was initially met with a mixed reception - journalist Richard Johnston described the first issue as "an alright Warren Ellis book"[3] and "not his best work but then neither is it his worst"[3]
