Grant Morrison Takes on Watchmen in Multiversity

Morrison talked to SFX about the upcoming first installment of Multiversity, centering around the Charlton characters and titled Pax Americana, in the issue currently on sale.”Watchmen was very much a response to the end of the Cold War,” Morrison told the magazine. “We’re now dealing with a new world of stateless terrorism, which gives you a whole new way of looking at that type of comic.”He added, “With Watchmen there was a sense that it’s the end of the world because of nuclear war, but it didn’t so we’re asking what happens when the world doesn’t end? It keeps going, so you just have to deal with that, which is also more contemporary.”
