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[...]

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.

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.

Rebellion got the copies early from the printers so will be sending them out early.

I always knew it was meant to be non-continuity, the Batmite reference was enough for that, but dammit[...]
