Waterhaul posted:That depends. How many dicks appear in Spawn Grant's work is about a 50/50 split for me with whether I was furious at him, or in love with him, after I read the book. Some of his stuff is SO GOOD but sometimes you have to know EXACTLY what he's talking about to make heads or tails of the comic.

But man I know Stokoe would kill it going crazy drawing Spawn's cape but I couldn't help but feel he'd be criminally wasted.

There are some Morrison comics I really really like but I think he's gotten in the habit of mistaking obfuscation for sophistication, particularly in his DC output.

The heroes defeat this evil by scattering a subversive message across 7 disjointed stories. 7 Soldiers rules.

On Friday I was rushing to the gaming room and knocked into who I thought was Brandon Graham before mumbling an apology and dashing off, only to be corrected by my friend that it was Matt Fraction. Does that count? And Seven Soldiers was dope, I've never read a story that rewarded knowledge of obscure 1960s JSA comics like that one.

"Wow, Mr. Morrison, you're really bald. Like, I'd seen pictures and everything, but I mean, man. So bald. So very bald." I begin crying. I had no idea. I move to touch Grant Morrison's head as a luck totem, just as I had planned. "I'm Warren Ellis."

Incidentally, both those Bishop and that Hidden years runs have 1 or 2 very hard to find books. I scored $375 out of the last bunch, hoping for $300 or so this round.

It was cool having an artist for each character but the links between events made it confusing at times. I didn't know the train Manhattan Guardian was on was the same one that flattened Horigal when it was hunting down Klarion. Maybe if Irving added the skull paint on the front it would have made it easier to figure out. Also, Solaris showing up in All-Star Superman felt like it came outta nowhere.
