dude, it's ****ing grant morrison. It doesn't matter if you're into the character, he'll make you be into the character.

qft

 

[lixdexia]

Dude, it's ****ing Grant Morrison. It doesn't matter if you're into the character, he'll MAKE you ambivalent to the character.

went ahead and fixed that one

 

[Donnie Darko]

Due to financial issues, I am greatly restricted on which comics I can buy now, but hopefully I will be in a better place once Red Robin and Man of Steel come around. I have honestly never been able to really get into Superman books for an extended period of time. I hope Snyder and Lee can change that because I love the IDEA of Superman, and I usually enjoy him in event books and team ups.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Action Comics is great, one of the best of the New 52. Start getting that.

 

[CConn]

went ahead and fixed that one

Except not.

 

[Mystirious]

That's actually what they refer to the writer of the main Batman book as.

Anyhow, Wonder Woman is getting an origin series courtesy of Grant Morrison.

I am expecting there to be epic amounts of kinky lesbian subtext in this book

It shall be beautiful

 

[HighFivingMF]

Apparently someone misheard and it's Earth One instead of Year One though. But word, boobs is probably gonna touch other boobs.

 

[Mystirious]

They had better

It's the reason I'm buying it to see Morrison write Themyscira as an island of bdsm loving kangaroo riding lesbian bad asses

The way it should be

None of this nonsense about the Amazons wasting their time with dudes on sailing ships like the awful and boring new 52 version of the Amazons

But the new 52 Wonder Woman comic has been pretty good though, amazons aside

 

[Mystirious]

It's been okay

Grant Morrison's take on the character is definitely going to be so much better though I think

But I wasn't saying Azzarello's run is bad just that the new version of the Amazons are just SO lousy and dull and all this nonsense about them taffying sailors every couple of years and selling their sons for slave labour is just so stupid and missing the whole point of the Amazons. I just loathe the new 52 versions of the Amazons they've gotten rid of everything that made the Amazons so fab

I fear for what Morrison will unleash. The same can be said for Multiversity. Both are projects I have interest in but I've almost never enjoyed reading Morrison's work.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Yeah, I must be one of the only ones who didn't love Batman Inc. I think I dropped it after like 3-4 issues of the pre-New 52 series. It's weird, like I LOVED his Batman and Robin (with Dick and Damian) and really liked some of his Batman run, but I thought Batman RIP was a mess and just couldn't get into Batman Inc.

 

[jonathancrane]

He is doing a Wonder Woman series? Interesting.

 

[Mystirious]

It's going to be more than a possum

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I thought he said he was done with superhero comics?

 

[CConn]

That was Brubaker.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

No... I remember Morrison claiming pretty much the same thing. Looks like this small Wonder Woman story was being written before he made the decision:

The idea was always that I'd keep doing it as long as it gave me a lot of pleasure and allowed me to express myself.

And it still does, but I can see the end coming closer. I'm coming to the end of long runs and stories I've had planned in my notebooks for years, and the stuff I'm developing now is quite different.

The Action Comics run concludes with issue #16, Batman Incorporated wraps up my take with issue #12, and after that I don't have any plans for monthly superhero books for a while.

Multiversity is eight issues and I'm 30-odd pages into a Wonder Woman project, but those are finite stories.

[CConn]

Oh. He was saying he wasn't doing monthlies...but both WW and Multiversity are mini series.

 

[Mystirious]

I really hope Multiversity is going to be good as well I'm pretty interested in checking that out when it starts

 

[HighFivingMF]

Apparently at Baltimore Comic-Con a few nuggets were revealed:

Plenty of Tim in The Joker crossover.
Avoided questions on Snyder/Lee's Man of Steel and a WildCATS relaunch.
Ron Marz and Jamal Igle will launch a book soon.
Someone asked about Wally again.
There aren't anymore Anti-Monitors.
Tim Drake always used the name Red Robin because he didn't want to use Jason's name.
Batman's been around longer than 5 years, explaining the amount of Robins.

 

[Primal Slayer]

The whole Red Robin thing is a bit lame. He didnt want to use Jasons name...so he just add Red in front of it and now its ok? And not as if it was Jasons legacy, it all started with Dick, if anything he shouldve taken up the mantle to bring back justice to the name.

 

[hippie_hunter]

For anyone wondering if DC will go back to the original numbering, the closest thing we're going to get is recognition when Action Comics and Detective Comics reach their 1,000th issues.

 

[RoughNTumble]

renumber the books with every story arc tbqh

or just label them by month/year

 

[CConn]

I think they should just keep the original number inside the book along with all of the other legal fine print.

Morrison's books usually get in trouble when they have to make a larger connection to something else. Final Crisis/Action Comics

When they standalone, it's much better. AllStar/Flex/Doom etc.
