Revealed in an interview with CBR today, writer Grant Morrison has unveiled the end of his time on Action Comic s and, perhaps more expected, the end of his epic six year run on Batman. His stint on Action will conclude with issue #16 (which should hit in January) while the end of his work with Bruce Wayne will come in Batman Incorporated #12. While Action Comics will definitely be continuing on once Morrison leaves, it's unknown if DC Comics will end the Batman Inc. title with Morrison or have another writer continue the concept on.

Morrison said, "I don’t have any plans for monthly superhero books for a while. Multiversity is eight issues and I’m 30-odd pages into a Wonder Woman project but those are finite stories. I'm not saying that I'll never write superheroes again. It's just that my relationship to them has changed especially after finishing the book and I’m not sure if I want to maintain the same kind of relentless level of production." It might be worth noting that Dan Didio said at San Diego Comic-Con that Multiversity would be coming next year, though that seems to have been its status for multiple years now.The writer continued by saying, "I think I've kind of worked through everything I’ve ever felt about these characters. It was a bit like going to the psychiatrist and lying on the couch for just long enough to realize 'What was I thinking?' I don't know. I know there are plenty of different ways to use them, but right now I feel like I'm coming to the end of a long intensive period where I was talking about certain ideas using the language of superheroes, if that makes any sense. I want to try out some new ideas and explore the opportunities that keep coming up to write novels and screenplays."While we're huge fans of Morrison's work on Batman (ranking it #1 in our best runs of the last decade list) and Superman, this news isn't exactly unexpected as Morrison has begun to move onto new projects elsewhere, like his new series Happy! with Darick Robertson at Image. But the man loves his superheroes, so I think it's a safe bet he'll be back in a superhero-verse eventually.In the meantime, who would be your pick to take up duties on Action Comics?
