San Diego’s Comic-con is being called San Diego Monster-Con by promoters, advertisers and vendors alike.

With comic writers the likes of Nicolas Cage and his son Weston, as well as ours truely, Gerard; the Comic-Con is being attended in record numbers. 

Some think this is good, others think this is bad.  Either way, Saturday, July 26, Gerard and Doom Patrol’s Grant Morrison speak in a panel entitled “Born Under a Black Sun.”

The official site says it’s completely sold out on this day.  We aren’t aware if Gerard will be there for the entire Comic-con or just that one day.

CLICK HERE for the Official Comic-Con site.

Title says it all.  What did you think once you got it.  I’m not talking about the packaging, I am referring to the actual footage that was on the DVD.

Did you think there should have been a bit more?  Were you completely satisfied with what was on there?  Do you think you wasted your money?  Do you think it is the best purchase you have ever made?

We want to know your honest opinion on what you saw on the DVD.

Leave a comment and tell us.  Let’s discuss!

Warning:   This interview is very long.

By Jeff Johncox for Comics Corner

Comics Corner – How did you get involved with Dark Horse and in making the “Umbrella Academy?”

Way: Well, I had really missed comics since starting the band and I guess I really wanted, in the beginning, we just really never stopped (playing). Once it took off and it was really exciting, I realized I hadn’t written or drawn anything comicwise, or bookwise, or anything. I hadn’t had a chance to be creative in that regard and I really missed it.

I started Grant Morrison’s “Doom Patrol,” because it started coming out in trades, and I was on tour and had just gotten sober and I had all of this free time. So I said “f— it, I’m going to write a comic.”

CC – Grant Morrison had a nice quote for you on the cover of the second issue. Have you always been a big fan of his?

Way: I have always been a big fan. Grant is great because if you get into cool comics, somebody shows you basically “Watchmen,” that’s the first one they show you. Then you get into Frank Miller and then your world opens up. From that point you can go one of two ways. You can still stick around mainstream superhero books or go into indies. Ultimately, you can find someone like Grant who is totally uncategorizable, if that’s a f—ing word. He’s somebody that’s right up the middle. He’s doing this very postmodern stuff. It doesn’t matter if it’s superheroes, it doesn’t matter if it’s hired assassins. It doesn’t matter … anything.

CC – I went the Warren Ellis route after Frank Miller

Way: Right. That makes sense, too. Because he’s another one of those guys, it’s more of the Vertigo type way.

That’s where I went. I got into (Neil) Gaiman and I got into Grant.

Grant ended up being my favorite author because he’s so willing to take risks. He’s so daring. He’ll take these characters and do anything he wants with them. You know, and he has a love for superheroes where a lot of people were either being cheeky with superheroes and doing parody or they were doing them so bland it was becoming a parody of itself anyway.

Grant, who has a true love of the silver age, had all these crazy ideas.
