Morrison Sells Out!
Congrats! Congrats! :-)
PRESS RELEASE
Seven Solders #0, the powerful 48-page special written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by J.H. Williams III that leads into seven new miniseries, has sold out at DC Comics. Now, DC sends this landmark issue back to press for a second printing, which is scheduled to arrive in stores on April 20.Seven Solders #0 Second Printing will feature a variant version of the original cover by Williams. This updated cover will feature the faces of the new Seven Soldiers team.
"Thanks to all the readers who took a chance on Seven Soldiers and helped the book become a hit," says Morrison. "No one was really sure how a story about super-hero losers and also-rans would be received, so the success of the project has been very gratifying. Much appreciated, and we hope readers will stick with us through the twists, turns and shocks that lie ahead! "
On the other hand, yesterday, Comic Book Resources brought the report from Meltdown Hollywood where Grant Morrison talked with the fans.
Full story is here and I've chosen the part where he spoke of his recent misfortune:
Before the night was over, Morrison, at the urging of his girlfriend, told a very unusual and, we must warn you, extremely disgusting story. Quite recently, a gold crown broke out of Morrison's mouth while he was eating. He accidentally swallowed the crown, which wouldn't have been such a big deal were it not for the outrageous cost of replacement: $1600. In a truly remarkable display of thriftiness, the writer spent the next several days digging through his own waste with a spoon trying to find that gold crown, even developing new systems to increase efficiency along the way. "I was shitting in a bag!" Morrison laughed. "But before I'd discovered the technology, I was shitting in the sink!"
Tragically, the crown was never recovered. When asked if he would have put such a thing back into his mouth even if he had found it, Morrison replied, "That's the real question, isn't it? It's like Sophie's Choice."

Don't know about you, but the reprint cover does more for me than the original. Just something about the clarity in the red shining through.

For me, too. I like the new cover better, and maybe it's only a trick of monitor light, but when I put my sunglasses on, the cover looks 3D. Red seven is in front of the gray background and that looks great.
