While the story holds in this book, the artwork made it hard to follow as well as to understand. It all makes sense when you read the script notes in the back of the book, but while actually reading with the art it becomes confusing and annoying. While the artwork is at times interesting, it does not match the story in the traditional sense. Random characters are thrown into panels where you can't... more

Grant Morrison is one of those polarizing writers. You either kneel at the altar or kneel at the toilet bowl. Me, i dont really get all the hype but i have enjoyed some of his work. Although it is a far departure from what I had been used to New X-Men is not that bad (my favorite X- period being from Mutant Massacre through Inferno. Fall of the Mutants being the peak). Its not a masterpiece as some... more

By: Grant Morrison

September 02, 2008
All-Star Superman Volume One takes place in a re-conceived DC universe that looks back in some ways (Lois Lane doesn't know that Clark Kent is Superman) and forward in others (Jimmy Olsen is now a super-cool media personality), with the end result being a lot of fun. This initial volume of the ongoing series tells a good little story (well, stories, actually), combining hard science fiction with an... more

What happens when your superheroes decide to go bad? Is it something in the water, something they ate, or something far deeper in their psyche than any of us can ever figure out? That's the premise behind this series - and what a series it is! When you look at the people that start and you being counting after a few episodes, you'll notice one thing. The number of people fighting on the side of... more

I read a few DC titles. I don't purchase more than five titles a month. I am someone the DC marketing department might categorize as a casual reader. I am a huge fan of Jack Kirby's Fourth World and some of Grant Morrison's work, particularly The Filth, Seaguy and All-Star Superman, and I was ecstatic to learn that DC allowed Morrison to revamp characters and narrative techniques pioneered by Kirby... more

February 10, 2009
Again, great artwork. In many ways, BRIP continues many of the trends present in its prequel, The Black Glove. I should note that this book would not make a lot of a sense if one hasn't read The Black Glove, so pick that up first if you're interested. The story is again a little confusing; there's a lot of psychology within this work. Furthermore, the assorted collection of Batman's memories (?) at... more

By: Grant Morrison

December 10, 2008
Volume 3 is some of the worst work I've ever seen by Morrison. While Vols 1 and 2 (and the first arc of Vol 3) maintain some of the subversive intensity Morrison brinks to books like the Invisibles, the writing goes downhill fast. Campy and facile, I actually went back to make absolutely sure Morrison was the author. Sadly, yes. While I would recommend Vols 1 and 2 without reservation, Vol 3 is... more
