Popular comic book writer Grant Morrison, who is currently penning Action Comics and re-launching Batman Incorporated for DC Comics, has announced the formation of "MorrisonCon" which will take place September 28th - 30th at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, NV.

"It's not going to be 'Come here and buy some comics and listen to a few panels,'" stated Morrison in a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter. "After two days you will be a changed person."

The event is limited to only 1000 people and 300 tickets were sold on the first day they were made available last week. Attendees so far will be coming from as far away as Australia and South America.

"For a true fan, it gets harder and harder to see the people you want to see; you're lucky if you can get into a panel, let alone talk to a creator for two seconds," said Ron Richards of Ignition Sequence which is helping put on the event. "We want to bring back the closeness and intimate atmosphere. It's not a celebration of Grant but a celebration of comics and its culture. It's less of a convention and more like a conference or TED talk."

Guests currently scheduled to attend MorrisonCon include comics artists Jim Lee (Justice League), Frank Quitely (All-Star Superman), J.H. Williams III (Batwoman) and Chris Burnham (Batman Inc.), as well as writer Jonathan Hickman (Fantastic Four).

For those interested in attending, tickets do not come cheap with a single ticket costing $767 (A two-person package is $1199.93) which includes a two-night stay at the Hard Rock, one-on-one access to the guests, a pass for all the panels and signings plus the after-hours parties at the hotel’s nightclub.

Attendees also receive a limited edition copy of Morrison's upcoming comic from Image Comics and Burnham's "hangover breakfast & sketch jam."
