'Final Crisis' Preview Debuts
And by 'final,' we mean...
No matter how many times I hear about DC's upcoming event-to-end-all-events Final Crisis, I can't help saying its name to the tune of "The Final Countdown." Is there something wrong with me?
Moving on...
DC just sent word that EW.com has posted a five-page preview of... Wait for it...
IT'S THE FIN-AL CRI-SIS...
While that's all well and good, they've also posted a nice little drop-down Grant Morrison script for each of the pages. I dig it immensely -- especially since I didn't realize that a character was actually supposed to be looking over the shoulder of another character (and not at him) until I read it in the script.
I wonder how much stuff like that I miss every week. *sigh*

"It's the FINAL CRISIS!"
Hands down, this is one of the best versions I've ever seen of Europe's big hit: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Jvn8wsIrHag
I took a look at the pages and script from the EW link. You are right, it's interesting to see Grant Morrison's script next to the finished page. Look at page five.
http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20198161_5,00.html
Morrison's script says, "Faceless, It's RENEE MONTOYA, the Question." and then later, "She wears a pair of sunglasses - and she has no face."
And there in the artwork, Renee Montoya HAS a face! This seems like a pretty big gaff. Especially when the dialog in the scene directly relates to it.
Turpin: "Didn't the Question used to be a guy?"
Does Turpin know that Montoya is the Question? Am I missing something? Shouldn't an editor or proof reader or something have caught this before it was published as the preview to ...THE FINAL CRISIS!

Oh. My. God.
You win.
Greatest version of "Final Countdown" ever.
