Grant Morrison’s Multiversity, in spite of being reportedly a major undertaking and having been in the works for years now, is largely shrouded in mystery, with most fans having little or no idea about what exactly it will entail.There are some things we do know, though, and after Morrison gave away a few more details to1. Big IdeasMorrison wants to tackle Watchmen in this book. After years of feuding with Watchmen co-creator Alan Moore, and especially of Moore accusing Morrison of attempting to ape his style, it’s difficult to imagine the writer wanting to wade into that territory if he didn’t have something to say.That’s been the order of the day with Morrison’s post-JLA superhero work; while that series was primarily just a good Justice League book, things like All-Star Superman, 52, and Morrison’s unique takes on Superman and Batman seem aimed at taking a huge high concept and then finding out what happens when you let yourself and your artists run wild in that playground for a while. The difference here? Multiversity is a number of self-contained stories, with bookends holding it all together. So it’s not going to be one big story, like Morrison’s Action Comics run, but rather a half-dozen big stories playing off each other.
