Before we forget to mention: Grant Morrison, superheroic comic creator extraordinaire, will be in town at Isotope Comics on Friday, February 10th. Do. Not. Miss. This.

The REAL comic news this week, though, is that Newsarama has made available a 32-page preview of , a comic anthology that features work by our very own local hero, SFist Jeremy. Of course we give Jeremy's work a huge thumbs-up, but even if we weren't bestest buds we'd still be wrapped up in his compelling story about the dangerous adventures of a famous escape artist. Gunned Down just got picked up my a major distributor, so it'll be available wherever fine graphic novels are perused.

After the jump: Superman stops loafing around, squiggly substance abuse, some silly thuggery, and Hugo Weaving (aka Agent Smith, aka Mitzi Del Bra) plays a heroic terrorist. Sorry for the lack of a comic recap last week -- we were busy painting our nails.
