I've seen Hunger and Shame, and those are incredibly raw visceral films free of the kind of sheen you'd associate with "Oscar bait". Films that try to go for Oscars are polished and pretty, but if this is anything like McQueen's other work, it's only baiting in the sense that it's about a topic that gets featured in…

@avclub-da518aecddbf5c94588f53562012c452:disqus Gillen describes his work as full of metaphor and meta-commentary on comics so maybe he took a Masters in Grant Morrison after graduating the Warren Ellis School of Comic Scripting and Hard Drinking.

We need an album title that's witty at first, but seems less funny each time you hear it.

Nah mate, that's the bouquet from Power, Corruption and Lies.

And now, the latest episode of What's Wrong NOW, Morrissey?

His run on JLA Classified was the same, although he stuck with one artist for that. I think whenever one of the Big Two ask Ellis for a story, he just dusts off another unpublished Global Frequency script.

His management posted on Facebook confirming it.

You know it's a wacky reboot when a villain has a costume that looks more like Superman than the actual Superman costume.

This is something that baffles me about the comic industry. When you have a talented creator producing good work, you'd normally make an effort to keep that creator happy and in a decent working environment, right?

Kraftwerk were invited by Bowie to support his tour in '76 but they declined. They don't perform with other musicians.
