Since the days of 'The New Adventures of Hitler' through the Doom Patrol, JLA, X-Men, Superman and beyond, Grant Morrison has developed a cult following and for good reason. By blending psychedelic visuals with the every day, Morrison's writing have tapped into a unique corner of the comic book medium and his choice of collaborators has always been impressive,

Hellraising screenwriter Ray Spass has one last chance to restore himself to former glory as he struggles to write a new studio tent-pole movie, Annihilator. The film centers around the adventures of Max Nomax, a sci-fi anti-hero caught in an epic struggle against the authoritarian artificial life form Vada and it's chief assassin, Jet Makro.
