October 22, 2008: Grant Morrison's In-Depth Discussion of "All Star Superman"
Newsarama.com has published the first part of a huge 10-part discussion with Grant Morrison on "All Star Superman". The writer goes into detail on all 12 issues of his award-winning series. Here's how the interview begins...
- Q: Grant, tell us a little about the origin of the project.
Grant Morrison: Some of it has its roots in the DC One Million project from 1999. So much so, that some readers have come to consider this a prequel to DC One Million, which is fine if it shifts a few more copies! I've tried to give my own DC books an overarching continuity intended to make them all read as a more coherent body of work when I'm done.
Luthor's 'enlightenment' - when he peaks on super-senses and sees the world as it appears through Superman's eyes - was an element I'd included in the Superman Now pitch I prepared along with Mark Millar, Tom Peyer and Mark Waid back in 1999. There were one or two of ideas of mine that I wanted to preserve from Superman Now and Luthor's heart-stopping moment of understanding was a favorite part of the original ending for that story, so I decided to use it again here.
