I have just read almost the first dozen issues of his Animal Man series. I'm not sure if other readers felt this while reading the comic book, but I felt a somewhat cynical storytelling from Grant Morrison's part. His son comes across as a cynic and anti-dad and doesn't like his dad's powers, but when it comes to other superheroes, he loves them. I mean don't get me wrong, just because there are some cynical portions of the storytelling, the series is still lighthearted with the exception of "The Coyote" issue in which Grant broke the 4th Wall.

Okay. I'm reading Final Crisis. I love the concept. The end of the world or better yet the end of all the universe as we know it. But how come I found Morrison's storytelling to be frustrating. J.G. Jones illustrations are well done and is pleasing to the eyes. The story felt disrupted. It's great to finally see the return of Barry Allen, the Silver Age Flash in the DC Universe though.
Has anyone read Final Crisis? And to those that read it, did you felt frustrated or disrupted while reading the story? To those that didn't what is your opinion of the Final Crisis story ?

Has anyone read Final Crisis? And to those that read it, did you felt frustrated or disrupted while reading the story? To those that didn't what is your opinion of the Final Crisis story ? is our thread about Final Crisis. Morrison delights in deep-diving into DC history. Final Crisis was loaded with references to Kirby's Fourth World, and I hadn't read Fourth World when I read Final Crisis. So many of the allusions were lost on me at the time. For instance, if you don't know Kirby's story of Sonny Sumo, then Batman's late-book appearance in the Stone Age won't make any sense. Lots of other references too, like the Miracle Machine from vintage LSH. If you don't come to the story with all that knowledge already, it will indeed make one feel "disrupted." Also, Morrison has his own meta-textual thing going on, though anybody that's read enough of his other works should be prepared to have different levels of reality colliding. |
