That's a unique motivation for reading a comic, I have to admit.

Morisson is one of the best writers around. He just uses his talents for evil.

This is pretty relevant:

What is it you are trying to show us? All I am seeing is a slow loading and badly set-up page.


Ah, now, five minutes later.... That letter seems like a self-indulgent writer justifying a vapid plot. (Of course, I do not watch the show he writes, so I cannot be sure.

Neither have I, first I've even heard of it. I just thought it was inneresting to see someone so openly say such broad statements. Incidentally, I've got a feeling that this kind of thing taken to this extreme doesn't really work.

Also I know nothing of your woes of the page loading, since it went right up here at the work computers.

I haven't read much that he's written lately. I remember Animal Man as a series that I enjoyed when he wrote it, and then I also enjoyed his early run on JLA. He actually got me to like Kyle Rayner at a time when I couldn't stand the character in his own book. But my choice of comics has been very selective in recent years, so I haven't read any of Morrison's more recent work.

You are better off for it Anderson.

I get the feeling linked article was written by a guy who is trying to cultivate an artsy image.

ShockTrek and I have been going back and forth about this with the messenger system. I need to bring some of those ideas to this thread.....

Morrison's X-Men run got me to read and enjoy comics about the mutants again, and I would have sworn the nineties would have made that impossible. "We3" is an awesome read, but by the end you're pretty much going to have to pull the old "Nah, I'm okay, there's just something in my eye" thing. "All Star Superman" is the book so good that even Dom has to admit it's awesome. And "Seven Soldiers of Victory" is a really interesting kind of series. Can you have a superteam with none of the characters actually meeting each other? It's incredibly neat stuff. "Kid Eternity" is one of the best things to ever carry the Vertigo imprint.

Anyway, that's some recommended reading if you wanna check out some Morrison. All this reminds me, I need to go back and get ahold of some of his Doom Patrol stuff. And get the rest of the awesome Animal Man run.

As much as I like "All Star Superman", I will also say that I still had the feeling Morrison was flipping the reader off a few times.

As far as his "Justice League" run goes, I will never forgive him for "Earth 2".

-and, it was not the first time he brought back the Crime Syndicate.

This is the sort of thing that should be quoted on the cover as a selling point.
