There is a new Morrison article in the new Wizard mag (#155)
Some key points:
1. JLA: Classified will be a revolving creator book. Morrison and Ed McGuiness are doing the first 3 issue arc. #1 and #2 BOTH ship in November.
2. His story is called "Island of the Mighty" and is once sentence premise is "What would happen if terrorists hijacked a team of superheroes and used their powers as weapons against democracy?"
3. The team is the Ultramarine Corps, updated roster and "repositioned the group with a cheeky nod in the direction of the Ultimates."
4. The typical GM sales pitch: "Get ready for World War Three (Keith says...hey, didn't he do that? in JLA?) as fought between superhuman warriors. And if you ever wanted to see Batman's flying saucer, now's your chance!"
5. Apparently it lays the groundwork for Seven Soldiers in the form of "the nightmarish Neh-Buh-Loh the Hunter, a cosmic monster from another reality."
6. The Seven Soldiers are Zatanna, Mr. Miracle, Klarion the Witch Boy, Shining Knight, the Guardian, Bulleteer, and Spawn of Frankenstein.
7. 30 part series = seven separate, four-issue mini series bookended by double-sized one-shots. a related book will ship every other week for 13 months.
8. Tentatively slated for Feb. 2005.
9. He's been writing it since before he left New X-Men.
I guess that means he's writing all 30 parts? Wow.
Anyway, there you go. |
