I haven't liked anything by Willingham and Sturges that isn't Fables.

This is why I am worried.

Though I guess what little of Blue Beetle I read was okay. How much of that did Sturges write?

*GASP!* House of Mystery??????????

I hear his Blue Beetle was good, but that's not really my book.
 
I just finished Aztek the Ultimate Man. It was fun. Probably the best Millar/Morrison collaboration I've read so far. It's a shame he was so underused. He was a great character.

We really need a general DC discussion thread or something.

I thought this was kinda it. Or is this just DC news? maybe this goes in general comics discussion.

I liked Aztek. He joined the JLA after his series finished and there was some closure to some of the themes. I think they just finally released the series as a tpb and it's called like JLA presents....it's actually quite an important part of that run that leads up to the first World War III. (Which may have been retconned since there has been another WWIII post infinite crisis.) I think in a final crisis interview someone asked grant if he'd be using aztek and he just kinda laughed or said 'god no' or something that made me think we'll never see him again...or the town called Vanity
 
Check back with CBR News on Friday for a new interview with Grant Morrison, where he discusses "Seaguy: The Slaves of Mickey Eye," and some other projects he's currently writing for DC Comics including one book about the Multiverse and a second in the vein of "Watchmen" featuring the heroes of Earth-Four, who are all former Charlton Comics characters.

I think DC's done a smart thing with the multiverse. They've essentially given Morrison a playground to churn out weird, high concept ideas, without having to worry about the scope intruding on the mainstream universe.

I've got the Bruce Wayne stuff that I obviously want to get on to. I have to deal with what happened to Bruce because that won't necessarily be in the "Batman & Robin" book. Although there will be some elements of that. I'm going to do that and there's a Multiverse book that I'm working on. It will probably take forever because the book is quite difficult to write. I've been spending a lot of time on it. I've just been doing an Earth Four book, which is the Charlton characters but I've decided to write it like "Watchmen." [laughs] So it's written backwards and sideways and filled with all kinds of symbolism and because of that it's taking quite a long time to write. So there will be a Multiverse series coming out but that will be in 2010 or the middle of 2010. And apart from that I'm doing a bunch of work here in Hollywood. That's why I've dialed back the comics a little bit.

The Charlton characters thing which is like Watchmen is going to be a bit strange...

Yeah... That makes me beyond nervous. If its just a full series of covert Moore criticism, I'll be really disappointed with him.

I'm hoping it's going to be a completely different tone...

:D

Also, from LitG:

I understand that superstar comic creators Geoff Johns and Jim Lee will be an upcoming creative team on DC's "Justice League Of America" comic.

Jim Lee is already committed to finishing "All Star Batman And Robin The Boy Wonder" with Frank Miller, as well as the DC multiplayer online game, so the comic may not be announced until the end of comics convention season.

But it's very likely that at some point in the foreseeable future that JLA will hit the Number One slot again. Which it hasn't for quite some time, not since they had some fellow called Grant Morrison writing it.

I don't really care for Jim Lee but that would still be awesome.

Hey Johns has already written jla since morrison left. it was just pretty darn forgetable

And meltzers run was better than both of them anyway, followed by JLI

More information about one of Morrison's next projects - The Multiversity.

It should be a neat experiment. I'm looking forward to it.
