Since then he has written such best-selling series as JLA, BATMAN and New X-Men, as well as such creator-owned works as THE INVISIBLES, SEAGUY, THE FILTH, WE3 and JOE THE BARBARIAN.

You’ll be able to catch it on the brand new premiere date of December 6th, which seems to suggest that–like the comic book–Syfy’s series will also be a horrific holiday extravaganza.Grant Morrison has been working with DC Comics for twenty five years, after beginning his American comics career with acclaimed runs on ANIMAL MAN and DOOM PATROL. With Morrison on exec-production duties and writing alongside Crank’s Brian Taylor, who also directed the pilot, Happy! looks destined to be a wild, wild ride. This casting is a perfect fit as anyone who’s watched Meloni in Law and Order: SVU as well as his broad comedy work like Beef and Wet Hot American Summer will know he has a grasp of drama and humor, essential to a black comedy like Happy! Is this role also a potential Birdman style nod to his long running career on SVU? This is the alt-universe bad cop to his alter-ego’s good? We don’t know but we love it. We also get a look at Christopher Meloni, who’ll be playing Nick Sax. The quality of this early CG is really exciting, as we all know how some bad visual effects can age a great project terribly.

Syfy clearly isn’t shying away from the wildly weird source material, as in these images we see a fantastically rendered Happy the Horse, voiced by Patton Oswalt. After a hit gone wrong, Nick wakes up to a brand new, maybe imaginary partner in Happy the Horse, a peppy blue unicorn who’s here to change Nick’s life for better or worse. Released by Image Comics in 2012, Happy! tells the tale of Nick Sax, a corrupt, alcoholic ex-cop turned killer for hire living in an uber grim and gritty world that seems more suited to the heydays of the ’90s comic boom. But, shockingly, he’s yet to have any of his work bought to life on screen until now! SYFY has released some brand new images from their upcoming adaptation of Morrison and Darick Robertson’s creator owned miniseries, Happy! From Animal Man to The Invisibles through to Justice League, Batman, and his seminal run on New X-Men, Morrison is one of the most beloved writers in comics. Everyone’s favorite chaos magician (sorry Alan Moore) and comics creator, Grant Morrison, has long been an icon of the sequential storytelling landscape.
