Zenith .. or how I finally got into 2000AD
It was 1988 before I finally realised how bloody good and important 2000AD was. I was a teen of 17, and had been working at Nostalgia & Comics Birmingham since finishing my O-Levels in ’87. Now at Sixth Form and doing A-Levels, I’d seen a lot of 2000ADs, yet had never really taken much notice [...]

Well, I say at last. But it was meant to be out right now. And now it’s been announced that it’s going to be February 2012 before we get a chance to get our hands on Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s Flex Mentallo. But we do get to see the cover at least….

A whole bunch of us have been enjoying (or sometimes regretting, but mostly enjoying) the huge DC New 52 relaunch of the main DC universe, and we posted up our thoughts on a huge swathe of those first issues throughout September. But there is one vitally important question, which Richard asked of the reviewers last [...]

So Neil Gaiman and Grant Morrison are chatting on the phone about Grant’s new book Supergods (out now from Jonathan Cape), and Entertainment Weekly just happened to be listening in (in a nice, authorised manner, not in some shady News of the World nasty way, I hasten to add!): (Grant signing in the Glasgow Forbidden [...]

The Adventures Of Morrison and Moore – from Journalin Comix (found via F-Yeah Grant Morrison): ♪ He’s got no hair!♪ ♪ He’s got all the hair!♪ ♪ He’s a chaos magician!♪ ♪ He’s got Nyarlathotep nesting in his beard!♪ “So this comic was born out of a conversation that somehow turned to the topic of [...]

Grant Morrison the man is friendly, down to earth and incredibly engaging, and his affection for the superhero genre is infectious. The Gallery space comfortably fits about 130 people intimately, and the wooden beam rafters are a reminder that this is not a new building dispute the modernity of the shop.

Please, if you haven’t read Brightest Day ##24 yet, and have any interest in doing so, just stop reading now. You all thought Grant Morrison’s superhero John Constantine was just a ridiculous, overblown, bit of fun courtesy of a Danny The Street dream in issue 53 of The Doom Patrol (art by Ken Steacy).
