New Grant Morrison Stuff: Geeks and Nerds Worldwide Hyperventilate and Pass Out En Masse...

Courtesy of Pop!Clash:





Grant Morrison is a Scottish comic book author and illustrator.  He's got some really heavy ideas and he does do some speaking dates, or at least he did. He has a chapter inDisinformation's 'Book of Lies' on magick and the use of sigils which is an extremely "out there" read. The man is wicked smart, personally intense and very counter-culturally minded. He is currently working on a new project which is exciting for the genre: 

From Vulture"In an interview with Comic Book Resources, superstar author Grant Morrison let slip that he's currently working on a mini-series for DC Comics featuring the Charlton Comics superhero characters Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons used as the basis for Watchmen, and that he intends to tell the story in a Watchmen-esque fashion, "written backwards and sideways and filled with all kinds of symbolism." The series may not be published until sometime next year, but given Morrison's longtime rivalry with Moore, and DC's probable desire to capitalize on one of its all-time best-selling books while deftly sidestepping an artistically sacrilegious sequel, the result ought to be very interesting.
