CREATED AND WRITTEN by legendary icon, GRANT MORRISON (Batman, All Star Superman, The Invisibles, 18 Days), comes his newest hero AVATAREX. What happens when an all-powerful super-being awakens to fight the Last War of the Age - only to discover he's been sent too EARLY for the End Days and must somehow learn to exist in a world that's too small and too frail to survive his presence? "At a time when I feel I've said about as much as I have to say about the American superhero, this is an opportunity to re-imagine the entire concept through a different cultural lens," said Grant Morrison.
Grant Morrison has been working with DC Comics for twenty five years, after beginning their American comics career with acclaimed runs on ANIMAL MAN and DOOM PATROL. Since then they have written such best-selling series as JLA, BATMAN and New X-Men, as well as such creator-owned works as THE INVISIBLES, SEAGUY, THE FILTH, WE3 and JOE THE BARBARIAN. In addition to expanding the DC Universe through titles ranging from the Eisner Award-winning SEVEN SOLDIERS and ALL-STAR SUPERMAN to the reality-shattering epic of FINAL CRISIS, they have also reinvented the worlds of the Dark Knight Detective in BATMAN AND ROBIN and BATMAN, INCORPORATED and the Man of Steel in The New 52 ACTION COMICS.
In their secret identity, Morrison is a "counterculture" spokesperson, a musician, an award-winning playwright and a chaos magician. They are also the author of the New York Times bestseller Supergods, a groundbreaking psycho-historic mapping of the superhero as a cultural organism. They divide their time between their homes in Los Angeles and Scotland.
