Action Comics #1 Preview

Perhaps the single most anticipated title of DC's New 52, the already sold-out Action Comics #1 shows a very different Superman, sticking it to the man and standing up for the little guy. Grant Morrison once again redefines the Man of Steel, along, with one of my favorite artists working today, Rags Morales. Personally, I'm very psyched for this one. Check out the preview below and let me know what you think.

Grant Morrison Sings

Oh, and it's a song written by John Lennon's ghost. And communicated to Grant during a magic writing ritual back in the days of The Invisibles. It's not the best song Lennon's ever allegedly written, but it's better then anything I've heard from McCartney in a while. Grant's not the world's best singer, but he plays a pretty mean guitar.

'Grant Morrison: Talking with Gods' Streaming on Hulu for Free in U.S.

Comics god and Supergods author Grant Morrison is profiled in the documentary Grant Morrison: Talking with Gods, which is currently streaming for free on Hulu. Sadly, as of this writing, its only available in the U.S., which sucks, but like much of the corporate ridiculousness surrounding the cable-cutting movement, is well beyond the scope of my influence.

Many comics greats including Karen Berger, Jill Thompson, Cameron Stewart and Frazer Irving are interviewed, as are cultural luminaries like Douglas Rushkoff and Disinformation founder Richard Metzger. Check it out, if you're able!

The New DCU: The Video Pitch

Well, they're not lacking in enthusiasm, I'll say that much. In a video that is heavy on the optimism and light on the humility, DC's Dan Didio, Jim Lee, Grant Morrison, Bob Harras and Eddie Berganza lay on the hard sell for the New DC.

Apparently, the best is yet to come, for real this time. What do you think, folks? Are we excited for September?

Grant Morrison Talks New Action Comics No. 1 

At this stage in the run-up to the DC Comics reboot, all we can do is speculate, and try to decide how we feel based on what we see and hear.

Seeing the Teen Titans promotional art kinda gave me douche chills.

Hearing Grant Morrison - a man who knows how to inject new life into Superman if ever there was one - talk about his approach for Action Comics #1, makes me happy. Whatever else you can say about this seismic change at DC, its difficult to remember a time in history when Superman, the ultimate, original, superhero, was more creatively stagnant. He needs an injection of Morrison and Rags, stat!

Grant Morrison to Hollywood: Don’t make Superman a ‘limp and wimpy punch bag’

via Hero Complex - Los Angeles Times

Grant Morrison can watch his version of the Man of Steel fly across the screen now with today’s home-video release of the animated “All-Star Superman,” but the acclaimed comics writer is as eager as everyone else to see what producer Christopher Nolan, director Zack Snyder and star Henry Cavill come up with as they try to get a live-action Superman film off the ground.
