First Look at Grant Morrison’s Wonder Woman Retelling Features Hercules Getting Choked Out

by Susana Polo | 11:26 am, May 10th, 2013

DC’s Earth One series (which they’ve done for Batman and Superman) so far, are non-canonical retellings of the origin stories of DC’s biggest characters. And when I say retellings, I mean Superman in a hoodie and Batman without his limitless fortune, you know, the kind of rebootings that try to tell a different kind of story with a familiar character. Not having read Superman: Earth One or Batman: Earth One, I couldn’t tell you how successful they wound up being, and some of the things Grant Morrison‘s said about his Wonder Woman: Earth One haven’t impressed (nor have they definitively condemned in my opinion), but I’ll say this for the guy: he knows how to write superheroes as gods. There could be worse places to start presenting the book to me than with art of (likely) Queen Hippolyta going to town on Hercules.

Things We Saw Today: Tom Hiddleston Gets A Drawing Of Loki

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:01 pm, April 27th, 2012

This is a screen capture from Gingerhaze’s (Noelle Stevenson) tumblr of a screen capture she took from The Avenger’s actor Tom Hiddleston’s twitter. Someone gave him one of her Loki illustrations. Take note of what she typed under the photo. Yup, that about says it all. Actually, she later posted, “how am i supposed to do anything ever again.” THAT says it all.

Grant Morrison Says His 2012 Wonder Woman Series “Needs Sex”

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:22 pm, October 18th, 2011

Wonder Woman has been connected to sex and fetishism since she was first introduced by William Moulton Marston in 1941. Many creators have taken on the Amazon since then and have addressed those aspects of her creation to varying degrees. Well after this appearance at the Edinburgh International Book Festival recently, author Grant Morrison let us know that for his looming Wonder Woman series he won’t be shying away from Wonder Woman’s sexuality and the implications of bondage have for the famous character.

If Batman Fought Darth Vader (Told With Action Figures)

by Susana Polo | 9:28 am, September 20th, 2011

What if it turned out that Batman’s dad hadn’t been killed by a criminal but was a criminal himself and now wore a lot of black and wanted to take over Gotham and kill all of Batman’s friends?

Oh wait Grant Morrison already tried to make us think that was happening and it was dumb.

A Lesson in Humility

So, As It Turns Out, That Comics Retailer Who Boycotted Action Comics Just Wanted Attention

by Jamie Frevele | 12:55 pm, September 10th, 2011

Yesterday, you may recall that a comics retailer in Asheboro, North Carolina boycotted Action Comics because of the panel pictured above, which features Superman uttering “GD” after sustaining the effects of an explosion. Jeff Lamb decided that this egregious affront to his religion merited a boycott of Action Comics and then he called its writer, Grant Morrison, a “liberal Scottish schmuck.” Well, Morrison has responded to the boycott, which has since been lifted. But wait until you see what Lamb sells that he didn’t think was worth a boycott.
