Although a new profile of Grant Morrison closes with the promise of the third and final volume of Seaguy in 2014, his collaborator Cameron Stewart cautions excited fans that "It's still a long way off."

Published ahead of Morrison's appearance at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, the Guardian article focuses primarily on the newly retitled Wonder Woman: The Trial of Diana Prince, and touches upon some recent personal losses, his dispute with Rebellion over the Zenith rights and -- seemingly out of nowhere -- his, let's say, complicated history with Mark Millar before ending on the long-awaited conclusion of Seaguy.

"It's honestly the best I've ever written," he says of the saga that began in 2004. "It never sold well, but it's my thing. I want Seaguy to remain as my statement about life and death and the universe."

But while The Guardian asserts the final miniseries, presumably still titled Seaguy Eternal, is "due out next year," Stewart suggests that timeline is a bit optimistic.

"INB4 everyone assuming Seaguy 3 is done or even a work in progress, when I have still not even received a script," he wrote this morning on Twitter. "Which isn't to say I've been sitting around waiting for a script that isn't coming -- I've been busy, so has Grant. It's still a long way off."

Also of note from the Morrison interview:

  • He's aware of the limited-release Complete Zenith collection, but says he has gotten nowhere with Rebellion. "Well, it's very simple," he tells the newspaper. "We, uh, we spent five grand on lawyers' fees. They sent [Rebellion] letters. We were very keen to discuss it and we've never heard back from them. All I can say is that we tried to get into a discussion with them and they just didn't reply. I don't know what to do at this stage."
  • His 120--page Wonder Woman graphic novel with Yanick Paquette will feature both her longtime love interest Steve Trevor, who testifies in her literal trial on Paradise Island, and her longtime sidekick Etta Candy, who's been renamed Beth Candy. "She's major and she's Wonder Woman's pal," Morrison says. "I wanted to get in as many relationships between women as possible – there's Wonder Woman and her teacher, Wonder Woman and her mother, Wonder Woman and the girl she kind of fancies at school. I wanted lots of different female relationships to show that there's not just one type of woman and she's not representative of all women."
