The seventh issue of the series, due in February 2015, will take place in “our” universe, in that whoever reads the comic will find themselves cast as the hero in the story. These realms include one where all DC’s iconic superheroes are supercute Japanese chibi characters, and one where Santa Claus is real (or at least as real as Green Lantern, the space cop with a magic wishing ring).Įver since he wrote himself into DC’s Animal Man series in 1990, Morrison has been the poster-boy for postmodern experiments in comics and he’s got a doozy up his sleeve here.
