Legion of Substitute Runarounds — Saturday

Rich is off to the Treviso Comics Festival for a few days, and I think the industry may be catching its breath a bit this weekend anyway — but there's always some links:

An Audience With The Oracle: Director Patrick Meaney Talks About Getting Grant Morrison On The Record

I first heard about Grant when I read that The Matrix was 'stolen' from a comic book called The Invisibles.


In Review: Clint #2 – real life superheroes and Kick Ass 2

Maintaining an edgy, Nuts/Zoo style feel to the format, which rankles with some comics fans but should appeal to the magazine's teen target audience, strip-wise, this issue continues Kick Ass 2 and delivers more chapters of Jonathan Ross' Turf, Frankie Boyle's bonkers Rex Royd, Nemesis and a fun three-page 'Space Oddity'.

I remember it as "Never get possessive about characters you don't own," which I think gets fractionally closer to the core of what I was advising.


Superhero fan Randall Lotowycz pens ultimate guide to DC universe

While many histories, encyclopedias and digests on the creation of the DC universe of superheroes have appeared over the years, Lotowycz takes great pride in the staggering amount of information it contains. "A pet peeve of mine has always been when I read other source material for superheroes that they would often get it wrong."
