Morrison blames DC for 'Final Crisis' mistakes; tells us to forget the last year

Check out THIS LINK for Grant Morrison's tell-all interview (and I don't mean spoilers) with Newsarama, regarding "Final Crisis #1."

If you scroll down about a quarter of the way, Morrison is asked, in several different varying questions, all about the continuity errors that have been so off-putting about the first issue of Morrison's new epic.

I would quote parts of Morrison's responses here, but there were just too many good ones to quote. If you were bothered by "Final Crisis #1," go read ALL of his comments. Because, as the interview goes on, it really seems like Morrison's true feelings come out, and he is NOT HAPPY about any of this.

Apparently, he had written the first issue of this series, and broken down the other seven, long before "Countdown" or "Death of the New Gods" was conceived, so he clearly BLAMES DC EDITORIAL for every error in the book.

And, he basically tells all of us readers that he didn't give a damn about any DC continuity that was created in the past year, he is just writing the story he wanted to write.

So, if you read "Countdown" or "DotNG" apparently you not only wasted BUCKETS OF CASH, but you also were reading stories that are just going to confuse you the rest of the way, because in Grant's world they don't exist. Meaning, DC editorial screwed up twice here -- 1) Not properly leading into "Final Crisis #1," when they had the script to that issue in hand, 2) Not properly editing Morrison's work after he went and said "Screw You" to the last year of stories.

I know you're mad about this. I am too. But, we have two options here. Either we can stop buying DC books all together and tell DC editorial what we think of them with our wallets ... or we can just forget those stories as best as we can, accept that the New Gods are not actually dead yet, and just try and enjoy stubborn Morrison's tale. I'll choose the latter.
