Greetings from the road! Here’s some featured new releases coming out Wednesday, August 20th! Grant Morrison’s epic swan song to DC, 5 years in the making, is finally here with Multiversity #1 I’ve got a love / hate relationship with Morrison’s work, which leaned more towards hate after Final Crisis. But his work on books like Justice League, Animal Man, Arkham Asylum and Zenith make me always give him a chance on his ambitious projects. I imagine this as a more crafted Seven Soldiers of Victory that will break the fourth wall by the end. Here’s an interview with Grant from Wired magazine to help you make your decision. My opinion is, “I’m in till I’m out” and I’m actually a bit excited for it.
