More commentary on news coming out of San Diego.
- Grant Morrison and JG Jones on Final Night: See, Rich? I'm talking about this now. Yeah, I guess you can say I'm excited. But I heard rumors that Kurt Busiek was going to write it and he's a lot closer to Marv Wolfman than Grant is,
- Salvation Run: A planet where all the bad guys go is an intriguing idea. But wouldn't every DC book be quite boring if the heroes had no bad guys to fight?
- BOOM! Studios is going to do a Godfather comic: This could possibly be the weirdest book/ movie to comic adaptation yet. What's next? Flowers in the Attic? Bridget Jones' Diary?
- New Unknown Soldier comic coming from Vertigo written by Joshua Dysart: At first I was worried that I might have to pick up a new comic. Then I saw who was writing it and I remembred his nigh unreadable arc on Swamp Thing and my wallet smiled.
- Groo movie in the works: Woo hoo!
As much as I like Busiek's stuff, I think Morrison can take an old concept and filter/spin it to give it the 21st century version of the crazy comicbook science found in the Golden Age, but still retain some heart. Just take a look at his ALL STAR SUPERMAN.
