The approach with Wildcats and the post apocalyptic direction all comes from the outline Grant Morrison had, and will make sense when it comes to the completion of Jim and Grant's 'WIldcats.'

The final question was whether "World's End" started with Morrison's run on "WildCats" and "The Authority," and if the current apocalyptic storyline was the planned result. Abernathy answered that it was "pretty much planned" to turn out this way.

LeSexy is an dark, open-ended sitcom-style series which will appear as a short series of six issue story arcs. It's like Fawlty Towers, The League of Gentlemen or even Twin Peaks in some ways. The book will be drawn by Cameron Stewart - who worked with me on The Invisibles and is currently involved in some kind of relationship with Catwoman.

There's this big comic idea I've been working on for the last few years—briefly called Warcop, and now known as The New Bible—where I've now gone through about five different versions of the first-issue script without getting what I wanted from it.
- ^ Dueben, Alex (29 January 2009). "Talking with "Hellblazer" Artist Sean Murphy". Comic Book Resources. Archived from the original on 31 January 2009.
I think that "Warcop" is on hold, but there's another Morrison script in the works.

I signed with DC for two years to do Warcop and DV8 (with Wildstorm). Again, both scripts were delayed so Karen created some Hellblazer for me. When that was finished she offered me Joe the Barbarian because Grant was putting Warcop on hold.
