Wash, spin, rinse, and repeat. Not one thing new here except for the thick accent describing the recycling.

Doesn't Morrison deliver this exact same rhetoric every time he starts a new comic, and hasn't he done so since at least 2002?

I guess now it's REALLY time to create a new language, philosophy and storytelling for comics.

(Granted, Action Comics does still sound like the best comic of the 52.)

G-Mo has created more languages than JRR Tolkien by this point.

I don't know why he's worried about Hollywood catching up with him. They've worked out how to do Animal Man (Charlie Kaufman) and JLA (Quentin Tarantino) but when the Wachowski Bros tried to do the Invisibles, they crashed and burned after one movie.

At least he's not telling us to masturbate this time.

Glaswegian accents are sort of funny (and also very awesome).

it's always great to hear from Grant. It's too bad he talked more about Action Comics being relaunched than the reboot. I would kill to hear him talk about the other DC books.

Hearing Grant be nice about other DC comics is always weird. "I think with Suicide Squad what we have is a great opportunity to change the way people think about Harley Quinn's breasts and these gentlemen are more than up to the task"

"Rob Liefeld's art is all based around his own personal sigils, when you're reading a Liefeld comic you'll see this recurring image of a man with no feet and you've really got to pay attention to what he's saying with that sort of thing"
