Grant Morrison 52 Goodness
Grant Morrison interview on Newsarama
I liked the idea that we could have so many different types of storytelling in there: there’s comedy in the Oolong Island stuff, there’s tragedy with Black Adam and the Question, there are space opera, horror, mystery, detective and cosmic strands to this extended narrative which is why some people can have a hard time explaining the ‘high concept’ or applying Hollywood storytelling jargon to 52. This was never intended to be a movie; it was a comic and proud of it. It is its own unique thing and will tend to defy convenient pigeonholing.
