I'm not going to go meta on this. I just want to tell a bunch of stories with Liam that are aimed at 12-14 year-old smart kids; the kind of kid I was when I got into comics. It's very much 'let's keep my meta tendencies under wraps and actually get a good story' with the whole thing joined up to be one big story. -- Grant Morrison

New Statesmen - Prologue

"I was a big fan of the group The The at the time who did a track called ‘The Fifty-First State’ but I could be lying here because quite a bit of the original set-up for ‘New Statesman’ came from Steve MacManus. This was also during the Thatcher/Reagan years, remember – when the UK really was becoming "America’s poodle" – so all those undercurrents were bubbling away at the time. Like films or novels, you have to look at a story in a social context. The concern about genetics though was definitely mine. Ever since hearing about DNA I’ve always realised that mastering gene manipulation would alter our entire species (and every other species too) and that was an area that fit in nicely with the whole superhuman angle."
