Newsarama spoke with Grant Morrison about Final Crisis #3, (the issue where the shit finally hits the fan)…

Read the article for complete details… They cover a myriad of topics, including: What he has in mind for Frankenstein, S.H.A.D.E., the Question (and the connection between her and the faceless policemen of Jack Kirby’s Global Peace Agency from OMAC) and her role after Final Crisis, that body that Montoya finds, who is Uberfraulein and where is she from, what is happening to the Multiverse, the speedsters route through time, why is Barry Allen smiling, the Hall of Doom, what is a “Justifier helmet”, something planned with Aquaman (when asked which one he replied… “He’s Aquaman. He’s always been Aquaman. All will be revealed.”), the post-traumatic superhero, Article X, the Wonder Wagon, Mary Marvel’s costume, Morticoccus, the new Female Furies seen on the last page and the red skies behind them. Morrison also plugs Final Crisis tie-ins Submit and Superman Beyond

Final Crisis: Submit is due in stores on October 8th. Final Crisis #4 is now due in stores on October 15th

Newsarama recently talked with Grant Morrison about the 2nd issue of DC’s Summer blockbuster series Final Crisis. A similar interview about Issue #1 really explained a lot of the more subtle elements of a VERY complicated story so i though I’d share highlights from this similar commentary of Issue #2.

read the interview to hear Grant talk about…

Big Science Action, the Super Young Team, Superman Beyond, New Earth morale, New Gods reborn, Requiem, super villain’s cars, and the End of the World as we know it, Wonder Woman vs Mary Marvel, Metron the god of science’s unforeseen nature, where Barry Allen’s been, .and Carlos Pacheco stepping in to assist artist J.G Jones as of issue #4…

I’m hoping things will pick up in issue #2. With the death of Martian Manhunter in #2 we should have some serious fallout this week.

Also in #2 are the Japanese Superheroes we saw unveiled in the Final Crisis Sketchbook - the Super Young Team and their languid leader, Most Excellent Superbat! PLUS - What are the next dastardly deeds perpetrated by the mysterious Libra and his new crew? What’s under the poisoned city of Blüdhaven? Who could murder a God? Can Batman face the fallen of Apokolips? All this and a spectacular return from the dead…

Grant Morrison and J.G. Jones’ multiverse-spanning epic continues with bombshell after bombshell in FINAL CRISIS #2 — “Ticket to Blüdhaven”!

I hope I don’t require the authors notes to make sense of this issue.

The preview interests me tho. I love the Alpha Lantern’s less than flattering characterization of the Justice League as a “local crimefighting club” - she makes it sound like the Scooby Gang. I also wonder about any substance that is not only unidentifiable by a Power Ring, but also seems to interfere with its operation. Hmmm.

Newsarama has a GREAT interview with Final Crisis writer Grant Morrison. He discusses the New Gods interference in human history and evolution in the DCU, why Turpin, Countdown continuity, Dr. Lights comeuppance, what he meant by “Twilight of the Gods,” where AND when Darkseid went when he “fell,” the concept of Gods in general, what Anthro’s drawing and who the guy with the mohawk is - Nix Uotan the exiled Monitor - doh - should have figured that one. But it still doesn’t add up - OK if the Monitors have the ability to exile one of their own to a mortal existence, but who got Nix and apartment, furniture and a TV? He woke up as if he’s late for work. If they have THAT control over reality they should be able to take care of reality -hoppers with a file transfer. Also its looking definite that the DCU is definitely down one Martian.

Grant Morrison tals with IGN’s Dan Phillips about a deadlier, creepier Joker (I thought he was already pretty deadly and creepy, but he’s one bad guy that can never be bad enough), the RIP tie-ins, Final Crisis, Libra and more. Read the full article at IGN.
