http://forum.newsarama.com/showthrea...=1#post3652415NRAMA: Finally Grant, could you ever see yourself doing something like [52] again?
GM: No. It's a bit like having sex with a jellyfish: once might an interesting experiment, twice would be perversion!

One of my goals is to meet Grant Morrison before I die.
Well, him and Aphex Twin.I'm autistic. What's your excuse?

Y'know that thing I said that got you offended? I was just joking.

Fun interview. Grant is my favorite writer but 52 really diminished my respect for him. His interviews are always entertaining though.
Ha!

For some reason, that statement would be much more disturbing if anyone other than Grant Morrison had said it.

Grant is simply my favorite writer. Without question. The way his mind works is not like the way other people's minds work.
Great interview too. These Exit Interviews have been a blast.

I met him at SDCCI in 2003, during a guest get-together. He proceeded to shake my hand for three times longer than a comfortable length of time, as if trying to access my thoughts through Psychometry. As if...I got that ringing in my ears that I experience whenever anyone tries to read my mind...:D Originally Posted by Jared_Humpherys

Nah. I could see Ennis or Ellis saying it. Or Moore. So... basically, anyone English. Originally Posted by Kris Gen

Also...
BLAM! How fuckin' crazy does that sound?The same pitch also introduced two new Japanese pop-culture inspired superteams - the venerable monster-huntin' crew of Big Science Action and the Super Young Team (whose members include Most Excellent SuperBat, Big Atomic Lantern Boy and Shy Crazy Lolita Canary) - both of which will appear in my next big DCU project in 2008.Go !@#$ yourself.

Really, as funny as the jellyfish comment was, and as great as the whole interview was (it's Grant -- nothing surprising there), this was the line for me:
"In the end it wasn't about making pseudo-political points or staging yet another huge brawl between superheroes, it was about loss, and love and death and transcendence and the sprawling lives and emotions of people who just happened to have superpowers."
God bless you, Grant Morrison. God bless you.

In the end, I think his verbose rant about the new multiverse, accent on the "new," is a great example of why I love Grant. He's a mind you want in charge of a company, and I really hope that in the future, even if it's decades from now, he becomes DC's executive editor. His outlook is the best, "something new, something old, something for everyone."
Go !@#$ yourself.
