There’s hardly a comic book fan alive that hasn’t come across one of Grant Morrison’s stories. The writer left a serious impression on the comics scene in the mid to late ‘80s with experimental works like their runs on series like Animal Man and Doom Patrol. They would later have career-defining runs in more mainstream series such as The Flash, JLA, New X-Men, and Morrison's iconic Bat-Epic saga. Beyond the Big Two, Morrison also served as Heavy Metal’s Editor-in-Chief in the late 2010s. Some of Morrison’s most recent works include prose contributions to several standalone Ahoy! Comics’ releases.

So which Big Two publisher is Morrison working for? The smart money would be on DC as Morrison has contributed far, far more to the DCU than Marvel. Not to mention Morrison has worked with DC as recently as 2023, when they returned to pen a story for DC Pride 2023 #1. On the other hand, it would be a hell of a thing if Morrison was about to write their first story for Marvel in over twenty years. Either way, Morrison fans have to be excited at the prospect of a new Big Two story from the iconic author.

There’s no doubt Grant Morrison is going to bring something really special to either the DC or Marvel Universe with whatever they’ve got cooking.
