Having trouble understanding Multiversity: Pax Americana by Grant Morrison? You are not alone.

Time Warp Editorial

I am a fan of the writings of Grant Morrison, as are many of us here at Time Warp Comics. So you can imagine it was a bit disheartening to have read the latest issue of his epic Multiversity storyline and to have been left completely befuddled.

Come to find out, I wasn’t alone in thinking I might be an idiot for not having gotten the story. It appears many people out there were more than confused. If anything, I was at least entertained by the magnificent artwork of the truly astounding Frank Quitely, and thought I would leave it at that.

“It’s just another Grant Morrison comic I don’t understand, what’s new?”, I said aloud several times.  I was particularly hard on myself, as I have read  quite a great deal from Morrison, I at least understood the Batman: Rest in Peace storyline. So what was it about Multiversity: Pax Americana #1 that I couldn’t get?

As it turns out, there was a lot more involved with this one issue of a comic than I had thought.

To read the further details of how amazing this comic turned out, check out this awesome write up by Tom Callahan.

Then come in and pick up the Multiversity issues at Time Warp Comics, along with any other Grant Morrison title you might be looking for.

Wayne’s Word #11

Hello everyone !

Going to be short and sweet this month. I have never had so much stuff going on at one time in my whole life as I do right now. Between working at the store , and helping with guests etc for the upcoming Denver Comic Con, I really don’t know whether I’m coming or going.Speaking of Denver Comic Con, we just announced Chris Ware recently. Tickets will be on sale at most comic stores( including here ) starting March 1st, and you will be able to receive discounts with no service charge fee. More details soon.I just got back from a retailer sales meeting called ComicsPro in Atlanta. There was a whole lot to digest, and I didn’t take the greatest notes, but I did have a couple of things from DC. The WTF campaign is still going to be happening, but it won’t be on the front cover. The gatefold covers will be cool though.DC is also bringing back Batman/Superman as an ongoing title. One of my favorite artists, Jae Lee will be doing the art. I was disappointed to hear that that DC has no reason to celebrate Superman’s 75 year anniversary this year. They apparently don’t want you to know how old he really is.There is going to be a Fables / Unwritten cross over.24 Hour Comic Book Day is now and forevermore the first Saturday in October.

IDW picked up the rights to Cartoon Network, so we’ll see Powerpuff girls and Samurai Jack again.More kids comics is a great thing as far as I am concerned.This week is a quick trip to Emerald City Comic Con on a guest hunt. One thing I need to mention is the shipments every Wednesday can be delayed due to weather. We’ve been really lucky so far this year, but that could change at any time. Check our website, www.time-warp.com or Wayne Winsett on facebook every Tuesday night or Wednesday morning for updates. I really have to just squeeze in a few upcoming titles that I need to bring to your attention, so here goes.
