Comics anticipation

Grant Morrison is doing 12 issues of Superman later this year, which I'm rather looking forward to.

This is the first cover, which I rather like:

It's about time DC got up off their arses and did something to steal the crown off Marvel - Frank Miller is back to Batman and the knock out combo of Morrison/Quitely might make the Big Blue Boyscout readable/marketable again :)

Did you read Morrisons We3?

Coolness, I'd heard rumors of this project around a year ago, but nothing definite since then. One of the major rumors (coming from an interview with Morrison himself) is that he's going to attempt to make this both a cool comic and a chaos magic ritual where he attempt to "wake up" the Superman avatar. I'm definitely intrigued, especially since he (rather surprisingly to me, since I dearly love most of Whedon's TV work) did a far better job with the X-Men than Joss Whedon is currently doing.

Heh. Good cover. DC really seems to be going for it and throwing some talent at it's core properties. (Greg Ruckas) Wonder Woman & (Geoff Johns)Green Lantern [Rebirth] are consistently great. Good to see Superman and Batman getting the same treatment.

If you haven't already read them I recommend you take a look at Identity Crisis & Green Lantern Rebirth. And definitely, if you do nothing else, read the gorgeous New Frontier.

In contrast Marvel has done nothing but flush its own properties down the toilet for the past year. The MU is just a mess these days. Shameful.

Will sir be getting 7 Soldiers?

Must come and visit you for comic-reading-fest. I must admit to not having read much of anything for years. I was just about following Cerebus until Dave Sim went undeniably crazy in a way in which I wasn't interested.

Come to think of it Grant Morrison is definitely cracked too, which never used to be so obvious. Or maybe I was crazier, who knows? :-)

Who am I to begrudge anyone a job that fits their own mental peculiarities? :-)
