Well, it's not like it's on the television, just something they threw on their website.


I never knew Morrison had such a thick accent.

I don't care why they felt the need to report on this. I'm just glad I got the chance to view those gorgeous Aaron Lopresti pages of Wonder Woman!

Aw, man, you've never gotten to hear him speak before? It's awesome. :biggrin: Did ya' read Brian Azzarello's Architecture and Mortality? There's a giant, living Mt. Rushmore-esque monster made out of Geoff Johns, Mark Waid, Greg Rucka, and Grant Morrison, and the Morrison head kept yelling and spitting at Dr. 13 and the rest of his crew.

Anyway, this is all well and good, and the fifty cent issue promo is always a sure thing to sell, just like the dime-issues of Superman and Batman from about five or six years ago sold well, even if their runs immediately after didn't do as hot; but this really isn't aimed at the casual fan, or the newcomers, this is aimed at the comic geek. Unless they do an exceptional job of making it crazy-accessible for everybody, it isn't gonna rake in a whole lot of new people, because it's still a comic book that you can pretty much only find in a comic shop.
