And it's this thing, and honestly you can't read it, it's deranged, it's like the guys just done mescaline or something, talking about his sexual theories. And more from the ever-interesting Grant Morrison in this great interview by Laura Sneddon. Most-Read Comic Stories Today: Gail Simone Quits Firestorm? The hottest rumour burning down the pre-NYCC parties is that Gail[...]

*** 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[...]

I've been told that orders for Action Comics #2 have "gone to backorder" on Diamond Comic Distributors' site, which means retailers are currently unable

Pretty much Warren Ellis' final word on the superhero. Until his next one. The end of the world, narrated by a survivor (for now) and a look at how the

Above, Superman as seen in Action Comics #1 this week in a Superman T-short, blue jeans and with something red around his shoulders acting as a cape. A

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[...]

This week, DC Comics published a new first issue of Action Comics, the series that introduced Superman to the world back in the nineteen thirties.

Here's a preview of the now-sold-out Action Comics #1 available next Wednesday (or Tuesday midnight in the UK) courtesy of Yahoo… and true to Grant Morrison's word, he's a socialist crusader Fighting bosses who treat their workers poorly, the kind of peopl who usually avade the police Looks like he's keeping the red flag flying[...]

Anyone remember Batman: Digital Justice? An early computer generated comic book by Pepe Moreno set in a future Gotham being ravaged by the Joker computer

And Mark Millar, Grant Morrison and Alan Grant are never seen in the same room Otherwise, we may have had a very different documentary. Grant Morrison has a real problem with Mark Millar over what he sees as rewriting of history, a division Mark Millar seems to totally ignore, and Alan Grant has a major problem[...]

The discussion over Grant Morrison's take on Wonder Woman is probably best left to the BC forum thread, but I do think that implying that the character dropped in popularity after William Moulton Marston stopped writing her is leaving out a bit of context  Marston's last script work on the title was with Sensation Comics[...]

Grant Morrison appeared at the Edinburgh Book Festival And Karl Stock was there to report for Bleeding Cool He writes; So, Grant Morrison, when can we expect to see your long, long-awaited Wonder Woman series alongside artist Ethan Van Sciver?

Isotope in San Francisco ran a late night party event with Grant Morrison last week, to celebrate the launch of his new book, Supergods: What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human. And naturally they had a cocktail list to match, created by Kirsten Baldock. Here's a shot[...]

So I've been reading Grant Morrison's SUPERGODS: WHAT MASKED VIGILANTES, MIRACULOUS MUTANTS, AND A SUN GOD FROM SMALLVILLE CAN TEACH US ABOUT BEING HUMAN for the last few weeks and also following the reviews, which ranged from awed to respectful to surprised and slightly frightened, as in the New York Times' Dave Itzkoff's rather square[...]

Isotope Comics is holding a couple of events next weekend with Grant Morrison to promote his new book Supergods and is giving Grant MOrrison cocktail glasses to those who attend the late night party at the store.

Grant Morrison wrote a fun piece in the Guardian, to complement his Supergods book (did you see the interview on MSNBC the other night?) Including this small summation. The Flash #163, 1966 Photograph: DC Comics This was from the time of pop art comics in the 1960s when DC Comics had go-go chicks, and almost Bridget Riley-style [...]

Grant Morrison: Talking With Gods was just put on HULU. (Hat tip to my friend moonandserpent, who brought this to my attention) Here's a bit of what Rich had to say about it when it premiered last year: But amongst the oddness, the experimentation, the life lived in one of Albert Hoffman's petri dishes, what comes over most[...]

Grant Morrison,  J Michael Straczynski, Scott Lobdell, Matt Idleson, and Mike Johnson were on hand at the Superman panel to discuss the future of Superman and related titles  Rich is currently sprinting like a madman back and forth across the convention center, so with thanks to newsarama and twitter,[...]

From the Orbiting Pod podcast from Orbital Comics, who had Grant Morrison in before his Forbidden Planet interview on Wednesday Naturally we recommend you listen to the whole interview, talking about his Supergods book, but here are a few headline grabbers… We discover that the BBC knocked back Bonnyroad, despite the series not[...]

Where men of a certain beard had gathered to hear Grant Morrison launch his new book Supergods, a part memoir, part examination of the role of superheroes in modern culture, society and civilisation. No photos were allowed, nor any kind of recording Which leaves me with a few random notes and beer sodden thoughts Let's see[...]

And so here, for Bleeding Cool readers, is a new story for the expanded volume, about the legends Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely… and Robbie Williams [REDACTED] UPDATE: Bryan Talbot writes; I've had Rich withdraw the Grant Morrison/Frank Quietly/Robbie Williams story after a polite email from Grant asking me to remove it I've known Grant for over thirty years[...]
