Grant Morrison On A New Book (Again)
Over at Newsarama, Grant Morrison did an interview to talk up All Star Superman, Final Crisis and some other stuff he's working on over at DC.
Amid the usual PR lines and rock star grandstanding Morrison is known for (since he's got the free time now that he's finished ruining the X-Men, anyway), he let loose a tidbit of information about a new book he'll be writing for Vertigo.
The first of the books, I'm happy to say, is the long-awaited ultra-violet, necrodelic...Seaguy 2: Slaves of Mickey Eye - Cameron Stewart has the first script, and maybe now that we're getting to finish our story, people will finally understand what it was all about!
Seaguy is a 2004 miniseries that is little more than a soapbox for Morrison to bitch and whine about hat he thinks is wrong with the comics industry. I'm all for critiquing the industry to make it better, but it doesn't help when I think some of its problems are exemplified by Morrison himself. But alas, I am in the minority on that front. This is good news to a lot of fans of the original book.
Me? I'd rather see him produce an issue or two of The Authority rather than add yet another book to his schedule.

Other stuff like this: DC, Grant Morrison, Seaguy, Vertigo
Ah I kinda brushed it off when I first saw it. I guess I could try to see what his commentary is all about.
Let's be completely fair here, Marvel has done a perfectly good job of ruining X-Men over the last few years with or without Morrison ;)
Goblin, have you actually read SeaGuy?
Just checking, as your comments make it seem otherwise.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to this.
I personally loved Morrison's run on X-Men, as it brought a much needed gravitas to the team. There were so many amazing moments in that run that to this day, I still haven't read a better treatment.
Rosethornn - Morrison himself has said that the book was created to be his outlet to showcase what he thought was wrong with the industry. What isn't true about what I wrote earlier?
And as to his run on the X-Men, I need to say little more than "Planet X" and that ridiculous final storyline with Sublime. Absolutely terrible in every respect.
