"Grant Morrison and DC have confirmed that his long-rumoured superhero mini-series Multiversity will be released next year. The writer, who is currently finishing up runs on Batman Incorporated and Action Comics, will release the parallel universe epic in 2013. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series will comprise of eight issues, with different titles but all released under the Multiversity banner. It will comprise of six one-shot stories and a two-parter, with each issue featuring a 38-page lead story and an eight-page back-up. Each issue will be drawn by a different artist, with only Frank Quitely, who will draw the fourth issue, confirmed to be on board so far. Morrison has been working on the story for the past six years, and described it as &amp;quot;a different way of looking at the archetypes that we&amp;#039;re familiar with. And I wanted to a really massive story that would be my Lord of the Rings and it would be the best thing I&amp;#039;ve ever done&amp;quot;. He continued: &amp;quot;Most comics are done in a improvisational way. Deadlines make it so you don&amp;#039;t have a lot of time to really work it and do a lot of revisions, so most of what you see is first draft.  &amp;quot;But for this one, I wanted to do a proper book about superheroes. So I&amp;#039;ve been writing this more like a screenplay, where you write drafts and then redraft and redraft again. And basically polish things down to as much as a sheen as I can possibly manage.&amp;quot; Morrison also rejected the idea that Multiversity is his swansong to superheroes, saying: &amp;quot;All I ever said is I&amp;#039;m not doing the monthly comics once I finish up Batman and Superman. I&amp;#039;ll never leave superhero stuff because I really enjoy doing it.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
