Not sure how many of you read it, but Grant Morrison did a recent interview on Newsarama about Seven Soldiers. He also gets into a few other things, such as Batman, but it's mainly about 7S. Since we have a number of 7S readers here, thought I'd post this for general interest.  Morrison On 7SGood interview, and a really good insight from Morrison into the craft of writing. Enjoy. |

I saved one of those Comic Shop News mininewspapers that my LCS gives for free that had Morrison's first interview about SS, just to see how it would read once the project was finished.
There, he says that since many of his fans read things in his work that sometimes aren't there, this time he was going to leave the metaphors in the drawer.
Boy, did that didn't turned out quite as he expected or what.

I can totally sympathise with his characters hijacking the story, though. I've always thought that the best way to write is for the characters to sort of come alive in your mind - and that includes having their own ideas and agendas. They seem more real on the pafe that way |

I don't like the way Grant Morrison writes and takes quick liberties with established characters - but since these stories are centered around new characters, I have to admit from reading that interview my interest in Seven Soldiers just shot up. He actually puts a lot of thought in it. I'll look for it.
