July can not come soon enough!
Here is the official description for SUPERGODS:

From one of the most acclaimed and  oracular  writers in the world of comics comes a thrilling and  provocative exploration  of humankind’s great modern myth: the  superhero.
For Grant Morrison, possibly the  greatest of contemporary  superhero storytellers, these heroes are not  simply characters but powerful archetypes whose ongoing,  decades-spanning story arcs reflect and predict  the course of human  existence: Through them, we tell the story of ourselves.  In this  exhilarating book, Morrison draws on history, art, mythology, and  his  own astonishing journeys through this alternate universe to provide the   first true chronicle of the superhero-why they matter, why they will  always  be with us, and what they tell us about who we are.


Grant Morrison writing a novel that delves into the giant and subtle metaphors alive and thriving within contemporary comic books? I’m buying 80 of these, just to read a remarkable man’s opinion of modern story telling practices in a medium I love, 80 times. I’m so fucking excited.
