DC have just announced their
Before Ravenous Insatiable Conservative Agenda crossover event, masterminded by Grant Morrison, and Damon Lindelof is confirmed as showrunner of HBO's
Heartless Trampling Of Everybody's Safety Dignity And Dreams.

Jeromey Corbyl pronounced the name of a billionaire pedophile in a very antisemitic way so I cannot vote Labour.
Now the entire election rests on whether Grant Morrison decides if he a) supported Corbyn at least three years before Moore did, or b) has a quick wank over a photo of Michael Gove to assure a Conservative victory.

:lol:
Or he can do the same magic spell he did to keep The Invisibles from folding: Get everyone else he knows to wank over a squiggle he drew (and, though it's barely worth mentioning, enforce the wank magic slightly by getting them to vote the same way and then convince everyone
they know to vote the same way.)

And they say there are no entirely original ideas.
I hesitate to ask this, but what's the story with the Grant Morrison hand-shandy jokes?

After an iffy storyline where Morrison did a Pat Mills and sent his heroes travelling in time, sales of his creator-owned DC title,
The Invisibles, were tanking.
Morrison used the letters page of the comic to urge readers to take part in a magic ritual designed to reverse falling circulation. At an appointed time, they would focus on a magic symbol he'd devised and masturbate - the idea being that the release of accumulated orgone energy would power the sigil
** In the same way a blood sacrifice is supposed to power ritual ceremony. Magic is bollocks, obviously, but his request generated publicity and endeared him to readers. The book survived long enough for the storyline to limp to a conclusion and Morrison basically rebooted the comic as an action adventure title bursting with spunk, relocating events to the US and copying Mills's old formula of making sure that whatever esoteric nonsense he filled the book with someone always got shot or made something explode in every issue and the book became a cult success that survived for many years

There was also a next step after the wanking bit - you had to go out and convince a friend to buy a copy of The Invisibles too. This may have had an effect too.
I tried to like the invisibles, I really did.
I think we can all get behind Occult-wanking.

Lost my train of thought... What were you saying?
I suppose I should have known what would happen when I asked that question.
A lot of people call me occult.
Hopefully not replicated to get the Dredd TV series going.

If you were a
real fan, you would.
The genius of Morrison's publicity stunt was asking comic nerds to incorporate his request into something they'd be doing most days anyway. Not sure whether crying has any effect on the spell.

Most days? Hey, I'm not 15 anymore.
