Speaking of Grant Morrison, the writer has offered a few more details about his upcoming collaboration with Batman Incorporated artist Chris Burnham, announced Thursday at Image Comics' Image Expo.

Called Nameless, the six-issue miniseries was described at the event by Burnham as "the ultimate horror comic." However, that barely scratches the surface.

As Morrison tells USA Today, "We're taking all the dark stuff that Western culture's kind of obsessed with — the zombies and everything — beyond the limit and doing hopefully for now what H.P. Lovecraft did for the wartime generation."'

Nameless, it turns out, is the name of the protagonist, whom the writer characterizes as both a screw-up and highly intelligent, a person "super high functioning in how he makes connections between things."Beyond that, Morrison isn't offering any specifics, except to say, ""I've been studying nihilistic philosophy, which is basically the most depressing stuff on Earth." But Burnham teased at Image Expo that, "[Morrison] has never done a straight-up, ball-to-the-wall horror book. That's what I told him I wanted, and that's what we're doing. I think it's going to be awesome and terrible, and hopefully some 11-year-old kids will steal it, and it'll ruin their lives forever."
