The Rundown: Alan Moore on Sexual Violence, Sterotypes and Grant Morrison, First Look at Quicksilver and more

Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on comic news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email our team at either david@multiversitycomics.com or brian@multiversitycomics.com.

– Alan Moore, at length, defends himself/answers some criticism tossed at him on topics such as racial insensitivity and sexual violence in his works, and why Grant Morrison is like herpes. Long, but well worth a read.

– Newsarama has rounded up a few photos from X-Men: Days of Future Past, and hey! That’s Quicksilver! Also, for MC’er Brandon Burpee, a nice shot of Bishop.

– Speaking of Marvel films, here is the first look at Ben Kingsley in the “All Hail the King” short coming on the Thor: The Dark World Blu-Ray.

– Rich Douek has a great piece on his experience pitching to Image, Image Expo, and the “pity party” he had today.

– We covered this a bit last year, but it appears that Kenneth Rocafort is doing another year in his “Mitografia” series. Today’s sketch is particularly awesome. Check out the 8 preceding images, and check back every day for his sketch of the day.

– Check out The Simpsons paying tribute to the great Hayao Miyazaki, director of Spirited Away, among others.

– Want an extra long trailer for next week’s Arrow? Of course you do!

– And, finally, if you enjoyed “Batman: The Deal,” you might dig “God’s End” from the same creators. Personally, their take on Superman seems to be almost the Anti-Superman story, but it is still looks pretty.
