Stephan Burn writes for Bleeding Cool; Irrespective of whatever differences they may have, Grant Morrison and Alan Moore, what they do have in common is that they are both British luminaries of comics with a keen interest in esoterica and magic More than that, they both pursue theories of a meta-fictional cosmology that has threads running[...]

Grant Morrison is one of the more recognisable bald men in comics The angle of his head, his cheekbones, it's unlikely he'd be mistaken for Brian Bendis, say. But 4chan/co decided that enough was enough And they decided they were going to do their best to rectify the situation… [...]

*** POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR ACTION COMICS #2*** There are a number of things that are surprising about the second issue of Action Comics. The first is that

Hidden in a piece for the Daily Record, comes the news that after Grant Morrison has finished writing the Dinosaurs Vs Aliens movie for Barry Sonnenfied, he'll be writing a movie based on the 2000AD comic character created by Gerry Finley-Day and Dave Gibbons in 1982, Rogue Trooper. The lead character, Rogue, is a futuristic gentically[...]

I love this Grant Morrison interview by Laura Sneddon that Rich dissected today  There's been a lot made in some circles over the past decade about how tech has allowed film to close the gap on what comics can do… in some ways  But Morrison is correct, here — comics has muscles it sometimes barely uses[...]

Grant Morrison has clarified, and the boycott has been called off Though judging by some responses on twitter, I think more than one comics writer has gotten some ideas for more creative "surprised utterances"  It occurs to me that a couple generations of digital down the road, we'll be able to google search dialog and[...]

Thanks to Mark Waid, a very different take on GD-Gate from 1964...

But let's look at the history — and Superman history is something that we know that Grant Morrison has studied carefully One thing Morrison and artist Rags Morales very pointedly seem to be doing is to reintroduce a number of the most classic early Superman images and themes created by Jerry Siegel and[...]
