20 The Deepak and Grant Show

In one of the more interesting and entertaining meetings of the minds, best-selling author, physician and spiritualist Deepak Chopra too to the stage with comics writer Grant Morrison to talk about the spiritual nature of superheroes.
"Everything I have been trying to say in my nonfiction and in my fiction has been so beautifully expressed in the work of Grant Morrison," said Chopra. The event was hosted by Chopra's son, Gotham Chopra, who is the CCF and editor in chief of the new Virgin Comics. The elder Chopra has contributed to the line, co-creating the company's upcoming "Ramayan Reborn" series.
Morrison was a kindred spirit, and has long talked about comics as a powerful spiritual tool, putting his theories to the test in creator-owned series such as The Invisibles and in mainstream superheroes such as his current work on All-Star Superman and Batman.
Both talked about the mythical qualities of the superhero and how superheroes are symbols of achievment of human potential. Chopra even compared the qualities of the superhero to the seven chakras.
Morrison is at this point doing no work for Virgin Comics -- he is under contract with DC -- through Chopra and Morrison expressed interest in doing something in another medium besides comics.
