We've presented several clips already from an interview with best-selling comics author Grant Morrison conducted by Eisner-nominated writer, musician and producer Percy Carey (a.k.a. MF Grimm), but I feel pretty safe saying that we've saved the best for last. In this final interview segment, Morrison addresses why we haven't seen a movie based on his massively popular, surreal comic book series "The Invisibles" -- and why he thinks it might be better off as a video game instead.

"Yeah, I'd love to see it, but it's not happening anytime soon," said Morrison. "I kind of want to do a different take on it, because obviously when 'The Matrix' came out, it was covering a lot of similar areas. There were bald guys in fetish amounts doing kung-fu." Read More...

Last week, we presented several clips from an interview with best-selling comics author Grant Morrison, conducted by Eisner-nominated writer, musician and producer Percy Carey (a.k.a. MF Grimm). Among other topics, Morrison discussed his work on "Batman & Robin", and now in this new clip, he discusses the difference between his work on iconic characters in series like "All-Star Superman" and his personal projects like "Seaguy."

"To me, doing 'All Star Superman' is as important as doing something like 'Seaguy,' which is more personal for me, but ... They're obviously very different comics, but I try to approach them with the same feel," said Morrison. Read More...

Yesterday, we presented the first in a series of clips from an interview with best-selling comics author Grant Morrison, conducted by Eisner-nominated writer, musician and producer Percy Carey (a.k.a. MF Grimm). Morrison discussed his work on "Batman & Robin" in the previous clip, and in this one, he addresses the nature of deconstruction in comics and how it relates to his work on titles like "All-Star Superman."

"I came into comics at a time when people were doing what I would call deconstruction, stuff like 'Watchmen' and 'Dark Knight' and some of the things that followed them that were breaking down the hero or examining what it might be like to be a superhero in the real world," said Morrison. "I wanted to do the opposite. Those guys were bringing heroes into our world, and I wanted to see what it was like in the world of the heroes, and what it would be like to live in a place where the skies were primary color blue and where time cuts between panels and your entire universe can be erased by some guy's whim."

[EDITOR'S NOTE: I'm both honored and thrilled to present the following interview with comics legend Grant Morrison, which was conducted by Eisner-nominated writer, musician and producer Percy Carey, a.k.a. MF Grimm ("Sentences: The Life of MF Grimm"). Over the course of the interview, Carey covered a wide range of topics with Morrison that we'll present over the next few days here on Splash Page. But first, a message from Carey...]

I've had my share of run-ins with comic book legends, hall-of-famers even, but I'm a little animated at the moment. Who can blame me? "Animal Man," "The Invisibles," "JLA," "Batman R.I.P"...

Recently, I was given the opportunity to interview Mr. Grant Morrison. Morrison continues to be one of the comic book industry's most revered writers and is currently sitting atop the New York Times best-seller list for his graphic novel efforts. I hope you all enjoy this video interview as Morrison talks in detail about "Batman and Robin," "Final Crisis" and other topics. I know I did!

- Percy Carey

Thanks go out to Percy Carey and the great folks at Meltdown Comics, as well as the video team of Milo Popp and Vito Lapiccola of Comics on Comics, the WebTV series where the greatest comic minds meet the greatest minds in comics. Check it out!
