SDCC 15: Grant Morrison Is Heavy Metal's New Editor in Chief
Well if that's not a reason to pay more attention to Heavy Metal then I don't know what is! They've already been making some great moves with their first standalone monthly comic Hoax Hunters volume 2, but now Grant Morrison as EIC! Come on, how the fuck can you not want to see what he comes up with? I bet DC is kicking themselves because I would have totally made him EIC of everything DC like five years ago, but whatever. According to Entertainment Weekly (that's where I go to get breaking comic news!) Morrison will server as EIC for at least one year and will of course be launching his own stories in the imprint, but is looking to recruit new talent as well. EW had some great cheese to go with this announcement saying that Heavy Metal has always been a bit dirty, but not it'll be filthy... what does that even mean? Whatever. Morrison takes over in February of 2016.
