Marvel Boy 2?!

[avram]

I just found a startling bit of info in the latest column on Grant Morrison’s website:

Seductive Phil Winslade has been confirmed as the artist on the second series of MARVEL BOY. Look out for the End Of The Way That Was, coming soon.

The first Marvel Boy series ends promising a sequel, but I would have sworn 9/11 put an end to that — Marvel Boy was probably the single most September Tenth thing I’ve read or seen in the past couple of years. I mean, the second issue features Our Hero running around Manhattan blowing up entire blocks worth of buildings to spell out the words “FUCK YOU”, and the series ends with [only a minor spoiler, honest] his girlfriend having blown up Epcot Center and declared the start of “the Cosmic Jihad”. It’s quite good, mind, and I’m looking forward to the sequel, I’m just surprised that it’s seeing print.
