Previously Unseen Invisibles Available To View

Writing the ultimate supernatural SF comic The Invisibles may have almost killed Grant Morrison, but that didn't dissuade him from attempting to adapt it into a television show for the BBC. While the show itself never made it to air for multiple reasons, that doesn't mean that you can't read the completed scripts and dream of what could've been Doctor Who's uncomfortably awkward cousin.

Talking about the book at Wondercon's Vertigo panel, co-writer Bill Willingham (the other writer is Matt Sturges, his co-writer on Jack of Fables) gave us the lowdown. More »

When Will Swamp Thing Come Back?

Just who owns Swamp Thing? After being asked about the chances of a revival of everyone's favorite muck monster at today's Vertigo panel, DC's VP of Sales told the following story:
Every now and again, there's a battle between [DC Universe] and Vertigo about who gets to publish the character. DCU guys go up to the Vertigo offices with the issue of Batman where Swamp Thing appears and say "Clearly this is a Batman character!" and suddenly there are pitchforks and they're forced back to the elevators.
Trying to offer a more serious answer, editor Bob Schreck said that it was one of his favorite comics, but after about three failed attempts to bring back the character, he's realized that "maybe you shouldn't go home again."

Comics Bash Celebrates the Destruction of Mankind

Proving that there is little in the world hotter than the combination of nerds, MySpace and Joss Whedon, tickets for the MySpace-sponsored, comic-commemorating Y: The Last Party sold out within hours of the event being announced yesterday. February's event celebrates the final issue of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's post-male-apocalyptic fantasy Y: The Last Man, due to appear in stores at the end of this month. It takes place in popular LA comic store Meltdown, and Whedon - a collaborator on the Buffy Season 8 comic - will give a "keynote address," cementing his position as the Steve Jobs of geekdom.
