By Tony Wolf As a lifelong Grant Morrison fan, I'd long heard whispers of Zenith, the elusive longform, out-of-print postmodern late 80s/early 90s superhero series by Morrison and artist Steve Yeowell (his first collaborator on The Invisibles), originally serialized in the UK weekly anthology 2000AD. When news broke that Rebellion / 2000AD would be reprinting Zenith for[...]

By Tony Wolf and Michael Turney Tony Wolf writes: As a pop culture commentator, one of my lifelong dreams was to personally interview Grant Morrison face to face  Just a couple years ago, upon the release of Morrison's book Supergods, I got to make this dream come true  Sigil magick, or simple luck-meets-opportunity?  You decide!   My[...]

I spent the next year reading everything by Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman I could get my hands on, then Warren Ellis, and plenty of Grant Morrison, and just kept pulling threads that led me in new directions It was only after an initial canon read that I was ready to read "new" comics, and[...]

There are more emotional ones and ones with deeper, more compelling mysteries but Hush aims squarely for the bat emblem at center mass of the character and hits right on target. Batman: The Black Mirror Prior to the New 52 launch in September 2011 DC made the surprising decision to let Grant Morrison kill Batman and give[...]

Vaughn, but turned it down because of the subject matter of cities and suits, which didn't appeal to him.  But Grant Morrison ended up being "good for my collection of crazy writers", he said,  "Collect them all!", when he signed on to do Bulleteer for Seven Soldiers of Victory. He was used to getting massive scripts[...]

A character created by the enigmatic purveyor of  Batman words, Grant Morrison While this animated movie isn't a true adaptation of Morrison's story, it does however adapt his essence of the character and the finished product is a movie with a run time of a little over an hour that's slow to the gate but is ultimately[...]

the showrunner, producer and sole writer of HBO's True Detective, back in 2010: The first time I got excited about writing was reading comic books by Alan Moore and Grant Morrison as a kid Growing up in southwest Louisiana, in a house without many books, the sophistication and depth of their stories were really[...]

Today, we are following up last week's flashback with the final story of Grant Morrison's pre-Crisis Batman run, Batman RIP. (Note: As this story was pre-New 52 continuity, there are no spoilers for the current incarnation of Batman Those of you reading storylines before 2011, however, may want to shield your eyes now.) I believe in Grant[...]

Of course, writer Grant Morrison pulls readers back in and reminds us that he's no slouch, either. In the early stages of his Batman run here, Morrison takes charge and shows us how witty and daring he can be with a cast of characters that usually don't show up in today's more serious tone of Dark[...]

Grant Morrison was the subject, as we mentioned before, of a radio interview on BBC Radio 4, for the show Chain Reaction You can hear the show right here, worldwide, free, for seven days.

Created, albeit briefly, by Grant Morrison, Ulysses Sweet is a charming, rakish sociopath He's also, judging by this opening instalment, in very good hands Guy Adams, who I'll be interviewing shortly, is a relative newcomer to comics but he hits some difficult targets here Ulysses is charming and chilling by turns, and the premise of[...]

 I liked and admired Pete immensely; we had the same sense of humor, and were into a lot of the same stuff – though I always looked up to him as a much more worldly and sophisticated man than I ever felt.  – Grant Morrison There are two comic pages I've bought with my own money[...]

So you bought The Complete Zenith by Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowell for £100. And now you discover that Rebellion are putting out a series of hardcovers for £20 each, totaling £80. Do you scream to the heavens, rend your clothes in twain, swear off ever buying a Rebellion comic again and fall to the ground weeping? Or…[...]

I understand that Rebellion has sent out royalty cheques for the Complete Zenith Hardcover have gone out to Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowell. As well as a complimentary copy of the book in question.

So I find myself looking around at time for stories and that's when I came across Batman: The Deal. This isn't a DC Comics story, it's a fan-fiction created by Gerardo Preciado and Daniel Bayliss that they posted for free on their blog. The art has an almost Paul Pope feel and the themes feel like something Grant[...]
