Over on the mothership, Garth Ennis answers seven questions about his upcoming Virgin title, Seven Brothers:
[The title refers to] seven powerful men with little idea of what they’re doing and no particular affection for each other who must unite to save the world. One long-suffering woman has the thankless task of knocking them into shape – hopefully quite quickly, because evil is on its way: all-consuming, all-powerful, rather well-dressed… It’s somewhat more grand in scope. An epic, widescreen adventure rather than claustrophobic urban drama.
It’s an interview that teases as much as answers any questions outright, and really just something I use as an excuse to link to Larry Young explaining the difference between AiT-PlanetLar’s upcoming Seven Sons (formerly Seven Brothers) and the Ennis book:
SEVEN SONS: It’s the one not by Garth Ennis and John Woo.
SEVEN SONS: It’s done, and I’m pretty sure Garth’s isn’t.

“SEVEN SONS: It’s done, and I’m pretty sure Garth’s isn’t.”
It’s funny cos it’s true.

Like most people, I discovered Love while recording George Had a Hat for a Pere Ubu tribute album, and having it mentioned to me that the live version would often foray into Seven and Seven Is.
As this is a comics site, it occurs to me to mention that mmbip!bip! mmbip!bip! YEAH! would be great internal monologue material for a Morrison Batman fight sequence.
