Liam Sharp And Grant Morrison Will Produce Green Lantern

Walt

Since returning to the world of mainstream comics, Liam Sharp has been pretty hard to miss. From his highly acclaimed relaunch of Wonder Woman alongside writer Greg Rucka and fellow artist, Nicola Scott to his revival of DC’s iconic THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD franchise, Sharp’s successfully reminded all of us why the realm of superhero comics had embraced his detailed, lush artistic style in the first place. It’s hard to imagine a comic project that’s more high profile than relaunching Wonder Woman during her 75th anniversary year, right before…

Why Did Damian Have To Die From Grant Morrison

Walt

About a month ago, in Batman Incorporated #8 we had the death Damian Wayne – son of Batman and the latest character to hold the mantle of Robin. Writer Grant Morrison introduced the character way back in 2006, made him Robin in 2009, and ended his life in 2013. IGN Comics had an interview with Grant Morrison that I wanted to share with our readers to find the thinking of the writer behind the comic book. I will share my idea why this had to happen myself after the interview…

The All Star Superman Movie

Walt

Superman is probably the most notable hero and best know character of comic folklore. With all his changes from the debut in Action Comics #1 in 1939 he still remains the number one personification of a Super Hero. Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive,  able to leap the tallest building in a single bound, he remains the hero for truth,  justice, and the American way. While the American way may have changed over the years the expectation of Superman to somehow save the day by doing…

Final Crisis

Walt

Final Crisis is a seven-issue comic book limited series published by DC Comics in 2008 and 2009 and written by Grant Morrison. It was amazing in it’s scope and a real shake up of the DC Universe. It has major characters dying and the creation of new characters and many tie-ins from all heroes and bad guys. Well worth the read but so much is happening you may have to read again to get all the dimensions of action. Crossover titles help tell the whole story. DC really can go…
