Nowan Instagram postfrom Image Comics seems to imply that Morrison is back in comics and potentially taking on one of the publisher’s most popular titles. The post contains a single teaser image, which you can see below, that simply reads GRANT MORRISON over a picture of three scoops of ice cream with a pink and green tint overlaid.
Co-created by writer W. Maxwell Prince, artist Martin Morazzo, and colorist Chris O’Halloran, Ice Cream Man tells disparate stories with an overriding mythology centered on Rick, the mysterious Ice Cream Man of the title.
Is this post suggesting that Morrison will take over as the writer of the series, then? Or perhaps appear as a guest or co-writer? The latter seems the most likely given that the book has, until now, been Prince’s baby. Whatever the case, it’s exciting to see hints that Morrison is finally returning to comics.
These also hints follow in the wake of the news (broken byThe Hollywood Reporter) thatBeetlejuice, Beetlejuiceco-writers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar have signed on to produce a film adaptation of Ice Cream Man.
