It looks as if comic book writer Grant Morrison will be the new editor-in-chief for the long
running Fantasy/Sc-fi comic magazine ''Heavy Metal''. The First Issue that Morrison will be
involved in as cheif editor is released in February, and Morrison plans to contribute his own
comics and prose material to the magazine.
"We're trying to bring back some of that '70s punk energy of 'Heavy Metal,' but update it and make it newagain," Morrison told EW. "One of the things I like to do in my job is revamp properties and really get into the aesthetic of something, dig into the roots of what makes it work, then tinker with the engine and play around with it. So for me, it's an aesthetic thing first and foremost."
"The idea of immersing myself in the aesthetic of 'Heavy Metal' is exciting," Morrison continued. "It's going to change the clothes I wear, the way I create; it's like a performance for me. Beyond that, just the idea of being able to curate stories, decide the direction of the magazine, and work with great talent and develop new talent is an exciting opportunity."

exciting?
