Grant Morrison's groundbreaking run on New X-Men is on sale at ComiXology for half-off, just $0.99 per issue through 11:00 PM ET tonight (January 13).
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.
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.
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.

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!
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?
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!

The 2009 Harvey Awards were announced the evening of Saturday (August 28) at the Baltimore Comic Con.
Considering how long it takes the dang thing to come out, you might be surprised to note that All-Star Superman did quite well, taking multiple awards, but kudos to the academy for putting quality over quantity.
And, uh, timeliness I guess.
Writer Mark Evanier took multiple awards for his excellent book Kirby: King of Comics, which was not only well-deserved but very nice to see the late King's legacy acknowledged on August 28, which was Jack's birthday.
The complete list of 2009 Harvey Award winners is as follows:
