We start the show on a somber note, as Sam leads our eulogy of Harvey Pekar. Then, the train flies off the rails as Caleb returns and we ask the question that cannot be answered – what do comic readers want? We also get an exclusive first look at Taschen Books’ upcoming 75 YEARS OF DC COMICS: THE ART OF MODERN MYTHMAKING (special thanks to Sarah Boyd of Taschen) and feast on a glut of other books: THE NOBODY by Aaron’s favorite cartoonist, Jeff Lemire; DAYTRIPPERS by Ba & Moon, ORC STAIN by James Stokoe, ULTIMATE COMICS AVENGERS Vol. 1 – NEXT GENERATION by Millar & Pacheco, SCARLET #1 by Bendis & Maleev, PEEPO CHOO by Meltcast fave Felipe Smith, BATMAN #701 by Morrison & Daniel, THE SIXTH GUN by Cullen Bunn & Brian Hurtt, THE MAN WITH THE GETAWAY FACE by Darwyn Cooke, SUPERMAN #701 from JMS & Eddie Barrows, GIRL COMICS #3, and AVENGERS ACADEMY by Gage & McKone.
Reunited… and you know the rest.

Music: Foghat – Slow Ride / Usher – Confessions pt.2 …

Grant is Back! July 1st, 2009

The Curious Case of the Scottish Swami

It is time to break brains and separate souls!
It is time to weave wonder and leave mouths agape in the wake of impenetrable accents and extraordinary ideas!
It is time for YOU to return to MELTDOWN, because from this vantage point I can see an odd fellow strolling down a golden path towards wisdom and he wants to share what he knows with you.

GRANT MORRISON IS COMING BACK TO MELTDOWN.

The last time the Bald Wonder made with the public chatstorm, international superstars wandered the aisles of El Melto unmolested and unrecognized, women were spontaneously fertilized with clones of Mozart and Einstein, and after the event was complete we found that all the pencil leads in the store had been turned to GOLD.

Tell me, friend: CAN YOU AFFORD TO MISS THE SECOND RIDE ON THE MYSTERY-GO-ROUND?
Answer: YOU CANNOT.

Are you going to allow the microphone to be dominated with the weeping milk-tears of egg-handed fools who will simply rehash old discussions of the Talmud of Mr. Tawky Tawny or shall we look towards a brighter day to come and inquire after new scripts, songs, fashions and fabulations?

If you consider yourself a worthwhile nerd, a good geek, a fascinating fan of freak fiction, then do us a favor and start formulating your questions now so that we can extract as much information from the googleplexity of Grant. Then, once the event is complete, we shall use what we have learned to trace a map of the world that is to come so that our enemies cannot surprise us and we shall remain victorious in our dream world of comical capes and quizzical chimpanzees.

I REPEAT IN STRIDENT VOICE: GRANT MORRISON IS COMING BACK TO MELTDOWN.

Come complete the circle and revel in the impossible. It is the way of our people.
CLIVE BARKER will hold a brief conversation with GRANT MORRISON before the signing.
