Grant Morrison Writes The Savage Sword Of Jesus Christ

Grant Morrison, now the nominal editor-in-chief of Heavy Metal Magazine, has two new strips in December's issue, number 284.

The first, Mythopis, teams him with Kevin Eastman and Bill Sienkiewicz. While the second is simply called The Savage Sword Of Jesus Christ. The magazine will also have a (currently unseen) variant cover featuring said savage Messiah fighting Adolf Hitler.

REINCARNATE TP
(W) Michael Moreci (A) Keith Burns (CA) Tim Daniel
Nate McCoy has a problem — he can see and interact with past versions of himself. The people he reincarnated from. As a P.I., the help of Jameson, a Wild West lawman, and Alan, a 1960s-era hitman, is invaluable to bringing down the city's kingpin. But it makes his personal life a mess, as Nate can't be sure if this "power" of his makes him crazy or insane. From acclaimed comics writer Michael Moreci (Roche Limit, Suicide Squad) and artist Keith Burns (Ex-Con, Johnny Red) comes a crime noir story with humor, heart, and head wounds. Fans of Chew and Criminal will find plenty to love in ReincarNATE. (STL026221)
