‘The Scots have a wonderful history of storytelling’

Blog@Newsarama (Free subscription) | 05/30/2008

BBC News spotlights Glaswegian creators working on American superhero comics, focusing on the All-Star Superman team of Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely and Jamie Grant, and Alan Grant. I like Bob Schreck’s characterization of Morrison: “He’s like a cat. He hears things which the average person just can’t hear and sees things the average person can’t see.”

Final Crisis #1

Reilly2040's Blog (Free subscription) | 05/29/2008

Well, the moment has arrived. After 52 weeks of Countdown-hell (barring the ones with Superboyman Prime) Final Crisis #1 hit the stands this week. As I've mentioned before, I was a bit dubious about this series. Although I love Morrison's writing (still got Batman RIP and All Star Superman to read - good week to be [...]

Milligan Mania

Metamorphostuff (Free subscription) | 04/27/2008

I may have mentioned, once or twice, that Peter Milligan is one of my favourite writers. I remember discovering his work when I was a teenager in books like Extremist and Shade the Changing Man , though I don't think I appreciated it much at the time. There was neat stuff going on, but I didn't quite have the resources to understand it. After a few years away from comics – generally the time I went...

NYCC 08: Morrison Teams with Virgin for MBX

IGN (Free subscription) | 04/22/2008

Grant Morrison is something of an icon in the comics world thanks to his work on everything from New X-Men to All Star Superman, but now the Scottish writer is teaming up with Virgin Comics to create something entirely different: a series of animated webisodes based on the Indian legend called the Mahâbhârata.

Cool Comic Cover Gallery - Morrison Inspiration

Comics Should Be Good! (Free subscription) | 04/20/2008

As you may or may not, Grant Morrison’s current runs on both Batman and All Star Superman are heavily influenced by Silver Age comics starring Batman and Superman, so I thought a fun gallery would be a few of these influences, so here are ten cool covers that (at least somewhat) inspired Morrison (and Quitely)’s [...]

Batman: Not R.I.P., But Something Worse? [Batman]
