Grant Morrison: Sebastian O - a question

Hi,

i'm from Italy, and I have a question for you.
Recently "Sebastian O" have been published on tpb in Italy.
I read it in English when it was first published in comic books, but, after I read it again in Italian, I note that it seems the start of an ongoing series more than a miniseries.
I remember that Sebastian O was presented as a miniseries, but anyone of you knows if there was the idea to start an ongoing series or not?
Or maybe someone knows an interview or an article where there is the answer....


Sorry for my english. :-)

I don't recall ever reading anything suggesting it was an aborted series. Sebastian O was fairly slight, though, as a concept; I'm not sure it would've sustained more than a very limited run.

Sebastian O was always published as a 3 issue mini with no plans to extend it...

Wasn't it a bit inconclusive in the end?

I loved the concept, the style, but thought that GM did too much explicating of cool shit, rather than showing it.

Not at all. If anything, I thought it had a pretty strong finish: "The world is a hologram, but it's my hologram, so I'm just going to lie back and enjoy it." Sebastian took the Blue Pill, as it were, and was quite content to do so.

The other interesting thing about Sebastian O is that it documents the unreformed Morrison - the one who believed that if you looked good enough, dressed well enough, quipped wittily enough and had cool enough friends, it didn't matter how many people you killed. Especially if they were mostly agents of the state.
