The Root Cause For Final Crisis Delays?

Hi there, folks. You may remember I blogged about how I felt JG was falling on his sword and taking too much of the blame when Grant Morrison was likely more responsible for the delays.

What's that you're saying, Dan Didio?

The fact that at a point we were waiting for parts of the script from issues #6 and #7, the reality came to be that we were never going to be able to hit our dates.


Thanks, Dan. Dan went on to talk about other issues, with one in particular grabbing my attention:

In February, again, we’re bringing the line back closer together and working to bring the continuity back in synch. In that month, we’ll have a series of books – I think we’re up to about 19 in all now – that will have six page stories as backups, and each book will be branded “Origins and Omens.” What you’re going to see in those stories is a little of the origin of each character, what’s essential to know about each character to date, and more importantly, a little foreshadowing of what’s to come with the character. Each one of the “Origins and Omens” installments will have a common narrator, and that narrator has direct ties to Blackest Night later in the year.

Can we say Martian Manhunter? That's my guess, at least.

  1. Y'know what's sad? The drama surrounding the release of Final Crisis is more exciting than the mini itself.

    Also, Dan wins this years' "No shit, y'think?" award with this statement.

    Dan DiDio: Honestly, this is something that we probably should’ve gotten out in front of, before the solicitations hit, and that was a mistake on my part.

    Seriously, no shit, y'think?

  2. Funny thing is, I enjoyed issue #4 of FInal Crisis more than any of the other ones. For the first time the series seemed to have some cohesiveness to it and I didn't have to reread the issue three times thinking I missed something.

    That's probably because Morrison took his time to write it. :D

  4. Dear Grant Morrison,

    Less smoky-smoky, more writey-writey.

    Love and hugs,
