That's what made the two of them feel like different beasts even though they share a lot of the same points. Grant Morrison is one of comics greatest innovators. I think what we set out to do was really touch on a wide range of emotional stuff, which is quite different from the comic. It's a Christmas story, so we got a bit of sentimentality and there's performances in there that will make you cry. As we go on, there are other elements that come in. Especially in the first couple of episodes, there's a lot of dark humor and a lot of violence and filthy energy it's very punk rock. That's what made it interesting it's not so much a one-to-one correspondence, but it managed to capture the mood and the energy and the feel of the comic. "But then, because we had eight episodes, I think we really had to expand out that world and build out mythology and add a whole buch of new characters. "If you look at the first episode, the pilot I think is very close to the first issue of the comic," Morrison told. The difficulty, then, was juggling the needs of the story - which had a very definitive beginning, middle, and end, and which has a small but fiercely affectionate fan base - with the needs of a TV show, which wants to essentially leave the door open to go on indefinitely. ![]()
